[nocturne siren]

still waiting on the clip ✅

[bold tiger]

it's been nearly a week. if it was dropping ahead of time there'd be youtube twitch videos showing left and right

[nocturne siren]

never was about validation. just holding you to your word. I just threw in 100 wager to make the prize of completion more worth it

if I wanted to see you fail I wouldve said pistol only

[bold tiger]

they're 6 digit tempest headhunter fury build?

[wispy merlin]

tempest isn't a great weapon for HHF lol

[bold tiger]

most of us know that but they seem to think it's a thing with their build

[nocturne siren]

I used to get angry when my parents told me that the adults were talking at the dinner table, I see what they mean sometimes

[cold pumice]

Listen here, Average Person.

You're not the antimeta god here.

[turbid sapphire]

Let me clarify something. You will not be naming any builds for clears unless you've done it yourself.

[trail mango]

Is there an easy way to do Techline (engineer) turret kills?
I've been trying it on Viewpoint but the fracking Engineer kills the enemies himself before the turret can finish off enemies

[turbid sapphire]

Purple mini tank was able to do that, because he has done it. You have not. When you clear countdown solo with glass cannon, we will talk

Also.. Don't try to bribe people with $100. That's like 4 hours worth of pay, and that's a low wage job.

[bold tiger]

you know you can skip it too right? you only need 6 of the 8 to complete that journey

[trail mango]

just wanna get the XP from it and never look back

[bold tiger]

i was vaguely listening to GCRock for the twitch drops and i know he's had a hell of a time doing just that on normal view point

[cold pumice]

Lower the difficulty. Go to Jefferson trade center, prime the turret in the opening area, then place it in the corridor on the second area.

[nocturne siren]

link me the clip of him clearing with glass cannon and heroic countdown solo

[nocturne siren]

yet countdown only takes 15 minutes. 15 minutes for 100 dollars should be a steal for you

[turbid sapphire]

It was referring to the challenge tidal basin. By the way, I owe him a clip. I didn't know what the strat was, so I want to clear that first room the same way he did.

[nocturne siren]

so make it known thats what youre talking about. and also, keep on topic. tidal basin and countdown are two entirely seperate maps and spaces and mission sets

[turbid sapphire]

I'm not explaining this. I don't find trading replies with you mentally stimulating. So I'm just not. Going to do other stuff now

[nocturne siren]

and you wonder why people ignore you 99% of the time

you also cant make 100 dollars in 4 hours on a low wage job too so 🤣

[turbid sapphire]

Lol tempest was ignored in my stash for ages for a reason. Calling it a viable weapon isnt what I'd call it. But I'm bored and so slappy D&h with det sniper and Lexington hf and called it a day

[turbid sapphire]

Sigh. You can't. Fixed. I'm at the lowest position in coke as a merch. I make 24.50 an hour. Please stop

This is why your chit chat is silly

[nocturne siren]

your words were "low wage job". 24.50 is NOT low wage. any more definitions you want to change?

exactly like iKia said, you shape definitions to fit your argument and constantly move the goal posts. still, countdown is 15 minutes, and im wagering 100 to see you clear it heroic solo. 100 dollars for 15 minutes is a steal. so lets see it!

[turbid sapphire]

Let me be clear. In Washington, $20 an hour is the lowest you can go. This is called a low wage job. Stop being silly

[muted ether]

minimum wage?

[nocturne siren]

thats state laws. federal is a different subject here. but keep making up excuses and a google search will easily tell you minimum wage for washington is 16.50

[turbid sapphire]

I really didn't.

[storm bronze]

Where do I find incursions?

[turbid sapphire]

I mean I could repeat an entire encyclopedia to you. And you still would backpedal, and call BS. Just more of the same.

[nocturne siren]

GC Rock discord, join for LFG channels

[nocturne siren]

sounds fitting given half of us do it to you already

[storm bronze]

Uh what?

[bold tiger]

GCRock is streamer, has his own discord server

[muted ether]

incursion is a map node in the top left, PARADISE LOST

you will need a team, which is why they told you to join GC rock server

[storm bronze]

Could someone give me the server invite link to that server though in dms?

[turbid sapphire]

"half of us" You mean specifically the meta players. ones that I have called out, for playing skillless builds, specifically "most effective method available" thinking cap on. Do you think that the most effective method, requires a high skill ceiling

[bold tiger]

google GCROCK Discord and it'd probably have a link or look for his twitch/youtube channel will list it as well

[turbid sapphire]

Let's not forget, that navel came on here tried to say that ND takes skill and isn't brain dead, and in the last two weeks at least five posts have made been made by various meta players, that ND is brain dead

[nocturne siren]

is he still yapping? all im seeing is blocked messages

[turbid sapphire]

Actually. I decided that's a good idea. And unlike you I don't click on blocked messages to prattle on about drama.

[nocturne siren]

i cant with this anymore 😪

local whats your mortar build you run?

[rugged stratus]

ok heres the deal guys. yall prattling on at this point. i let it play out for a while but pack it in. if you are actrimonoius to one another then you should not respond to one another moving forward

and builds will be in build

just dont

[bold tiger]

😱 you want local's mortar build?!

[turbid sapphire]

I will put the solo count down out there, cuz I think it's good for the community. That's all

[rugged stratus]

idc

[nocturne siren]

got it thank you 🫡

[nocturne siren]

im willing to give it a tickle. no DJ tho

[bold tiger]

it is a solid build though

[nocturne siren]

already looking at that 2 piece grupo and I wanna die inside....

[rugged stratus]

its easy to get, only took me about 1000hrs to get 4 pairs 🔥

[nocturne siren]

I think ill just stick to gun builds 💀

ive already chased double crit matador for 2k hours... only for it to go on sale at CD

[bold tiger]

that had to be heart wrenching huh?

[nocturne siren]

if I get the pieces, i will try it

[rugged stratus]

just got a matador bp the other day as a side effect of farming overdogs bp

[nocturne siren]

dude... I was both happy and pissed at the same time

[slate pilot]

can anyone tell me a tool to make small clips...the ubisoft support wants a small clip for my companion problem.

[cold pumice]

Medal

Why are you still carrying on with that?

[turbid sapphire]

Dorky. Don't make conflict. He stated minimum wage with a question mark. That's it. It's a community chat, I made a statement about minimum wage.

[cold pumice]

Seems you're struggling with that part 👍

[nocturne siren]

division has always been a struggle bro 😔

[cold pumice]

In the immortal words of every football fan in England. "It's all gone quiet over there!"

[turbid sapphire]

Oh. Alright, thanks

[spare atlas]

Anyone ever had a weird bug where it wouldn't let you scroll the list for targeted loot? It keeps flipping back, I thought my mouse was screwed but it doesn't happen outside of Div2 😬

[little citrus]

Does anyone have a problem where they just keep having true son companion voicelines playing

[bold tiger]

yes, trello board has a report on it

[spare atlas]

Any known workaround?

[bold tiger]

try all the things you want, just gotta be patient until they push out the fix for it. hopefully tomorrow?

[nocturne siren]

Mute your audio or play without companions

[muted ether]

the worst place they spam lines is when you’re in a safehouse, so i stay out of those

[bold tiger]

no tranquil was talking about the target loot not scrolling down

[rugged stratus]

obs works well. discord also able to take clips

[bold tiger]

Sugarcane was complaing about the talkative companions

[rugged stratus]

turning down dialog volume nvm, im slow

[muted ether]

if you have an nvidia card, you can use shadowplay

[inner tendon]

What 'deck said of course, but also don't forget that your video-card has a built in clip making tool and "previous x minutes recording" hotkey too.

I can confirm that they work well enough, amd or nvidia.

[slate pilot]

All good thanks for the suggestions guys...used the Medal one someone said before...

[spare atlas]

Looks like even if the target loot doesn't scroll down I can still select the bottom stuff with WASD and then confirm

[inner tendon]

The curse of there only being 1 thing on that line.

[bold tiger]

pretty much

[rugged stratus]

oh for the coco gear, yeah. its wonky atm

[cold pumice]

Used WASD to move it.

[turbid sapphire]

Yes, the best solution is click the loot at the bottom and then look at it again

The menu naturally moves up and down according to where the selection is. So pressing your mouse at the top or bottom, and selecting something near the line you want to see will Force the line to progress

[rugged stratus]

look and look again... check. solution above 🙄

[nocturne siren]

if youre on controller like me, use the D pad

[wispy merlin]

use wasd

oop sorry didn't scroll down 💀

[toxic pecan]

am I the only one who thinks the timer at the end of the retaliation goes wayyy too fast. I don't have enough time to loot everything and go to the supply room

[cold pumice]

Leave one enemy alive, then loot, then kill them

[toxic pecan]

fair but I am usually doing solo heroic and I have barely any spare time, as in, under a minute

but I'll keep it in mind, thanks :)

[cold pumice]

Try lowering the difficulty? Solo heroic I normally finish with more time than I started with

[toxic pecan]

how 😭
my build is bluescreen, ongoing, catalyst

[rugged stratus]

its just like that at the end of them. only work around is leaving one alive to get the loot. in groups youll have a lot of time left over when you leave one alive

[cold pumice]

Why are you using Catalyst? Genuine question

[rugged stratus]

swap overdogs onto that instead of catalyst and youll see a huge damage jump

nego bluescreen is also really good for retal

[toxic pecan]

fair I'll try it out 🫡

[cold pumice]

I have a feeling you're using some blue cores too?

And possibly sub optimal attributes?

[rugged stratus]

fishing?

[cold pumice]

Retaliation is basically a big DPS check, without DPS you're going to run low on time

[toxic pecan]

nope, all red except for the one blue and yellow minor attributes on catalyst

but those are curated I believe

[cold pumice]

What red minors?

Sitting at 60% CHC? And using Nego backpack?

[toxic pecan]

petrov (10% lmg damage) bp with vigilance
55% chc

[cold pumice]

Ignore that....for some reason I thought you were using ND.

[toxic pecan]

and all minors are CHC and CHD, optimised

[cold pumice]

You're using Ongoing Directive, yeah?

[toxic pecan]

si

[cold pumice]

Tinkerer Mask, two LMGs with Sadist and Pressure Point talents.

Backpack should have wicked on it

[rugged stratus]

wouldnt odog carnage be more

[toxic pecan]

aight, thanks
will start grinding towards it

[cold pumice]

Pressure point is a seperate amp of 15%

[empty moth]

does this skin have the same effect as the Chameleon gun? or is it just this hex pattern

[cold pumice]

Means you dont have to prioritise

[rugged stratus]

odog is 30% amp on top of perfect sadist

[bold tiger]

think jsut hex pattern

but can't say as i don't have it

[cold pumice]

It is, but also needing to prio targets for it. Can be difficult in Retals for someone who is struggling

[rugged stratus]

not really, the worst thing you face is killsquads and they are all the same priority

[bold tiger]

i'd look for a youtube video on it honestly before buying it

[cold pumice]

You're too used to Nego :p need to spray more with OD to keep bleed up

Plus you already get a 50% amp from using OD chest

[rugged stratus]

you think i havent used every dps set extensively

[high glade]

Plot twist: he is using his mortar build for everything.

[rugged stratus]

amps arent additive. thats a plus for adding odogs

[empty moth]

the skin is unfortunately not active

[high glade]

Sad. Missed opportunity.

[empty moth]

interesting since the original the design comes from is the gun is it not?

[pearl pasture]

I thought it was slightly animated but i don't have it. Would have been cool if it shared the weapon effect and synced with it.

[stable leaf]

Does anyone have any advice on how to obtain exotics easier? (specifically snipers like the Mantis and etc.)

[bold tiger]

quickest? Countdown Challenging with MMR target loot, every 2 or 3 runs hit up the Countdown vendor and buy exotic caches and pray, priority objectives is another method or simply running retaliations until you get the sniper blueprints

not sure if nemesis is in retaliations though, that might still be tied to the project

[nocturne siren]

Does anybody know if the btsu data gloves are part of the main loot pool?

I've been farming for gloves for days and have yet to see them but it will drop everything else but that

[rugged stratus]

yes

[nimble zenith]

Is there any way to get quickstep now?

[bold tiger]

i bet you can craft them in retalations 😹 and you didnt' bother checking

[stable leaf]

MMR? What would that stand for?

[nimble zenith]

@nocturne siren i just got them as priority objective reward

[nocturne siren]

I'm not dragging a total newbie whose clueless through retaliation no thank you

[rugged stratus]

they arent common. they have a slightly weighted drop chance at white oak

but retal gonna be easiest farm for them

[nocturne siren]

Sigh

[rugged stratus]

i would keep hammering easy prio, like short open world

[rugged stratus]

if they arent up to retal

[nocturne siren]

I GOT THEM BRUH CMON 😑 ALL I HAD TO DO WAS WHINE

[bold tiger]

lol

just whine or have no desire to get them. they'll always drop for you

[nimble zenith]

Marksman rifle

[nimble zenith]

Anyone knows?

[nocturne siren]

No

There is one known method, and that is to post and be looking for group channel and ask if anybody has the hounds been bounty still so that way they can bring you into the group and they start the bounty and then they leave the group

Houndsman * sorry I'm using speech to text

[nimble zenith]

So there is a way. Is the bounty rare?

[bold tiger]

extremely now that the event is over

[rugged stratus]

huh, look at that

im on pc, and no help to your cause tho

[nocturne siren]

My partner needs one 🙏

[rugged stratus]

im logged in atm

youll probably need to add me or w/e so you can join on

[nocturne siren]

Ight lemme finish this CD run

[rugged stratus]

ok

[bold tiger]

logs in and steals all bounties muahahaha

[nocturne siren]

I'm pretty sure if you invite me to your group and then you back out of the group, we should be able to just duo the Hunter

[rugged stratus]

yeah yall will be fine. let me make it 5d rq

[candid verge]

that is correct, but if you die and nobody there to revive, then you loose the bounty 🤔

[rugged stratus]

[bold tiger]

that would be me 😹 die noone to revive me

[nocturne siren]

Won't be a problem 💯

[bold tiger]

i'd be like "let me join on my 2nd account and carry me too" but that'd be hard for you wouldn't it?

[nocturne siren]

I can send an invite

[nocturne siren]

Just finished the run, gonna drop her the gloves and other shit

[rugged stratus]

no worries, just lmk when you need an inv

[nocturne siren]

Don't mind her name btw when you see her join

[bold tiger]

can local read with oldman eyes?

[rugged stratus]

all blurry without my bifocals

[nocturne siren]

/invite fiftysdeath

[bold tiger]

might need bigger text (> <)

[rugged stratus]

ill be on later if yall need another shot🍻

[nocturne siren]

She got it!

She thanks you big-time 🙏 she hates watching me sanic run everywhere

[bold tiger]

like "babe save me some fun in that room!" as you decimate all the npcs?

[nocturne siren]

Dude her play style is SOOOO SLOW

[hollow brook]

T-t-t-today junior

[nocturne siren]

That's how it feels sometimes 😭 she's disabled tho so her motor skills are absolutely terrible. She's improving tho

[hollow brook]

Great now I feel bad thanks

[nocturne siren]

Nah don't feel bad 😂😭 she knows shes absolutely horrible. She has loads of fun and when she does good, she's a great teammate

She's got the healer thing down pretty well. She just needs Scorpio shotgun

[hollow brook]

Nice

[fiery zenith]

anyone who can tell me what the reason behind the crash in countdown is about ? i havnt been dc for a very long time the past year, and i had one today when my game just froze up on me.

and i had to restart the game.

[nocturne siren]

It's a known and common bug. Has been for years. It's usually always when someone opens up the safe at the end

Server stability is also terrible RN but they've got fixes for early morning update

[fiery zenith]

yeah i know the countdown freeze up has been a bug for years, i really wish the would fix that one, not just for me but for everyone else to, as its wasting the players time in there with this bug.

[spare atlas]

Does a Restorer Hive repair myself occasionally if I don't deploy it? Or is it purely a set-and-forget skill?

[cedar schooner]

It needs to be deployed.

Artificer is the only one that works on your back

[turbid sapphire]

@cold pumice here. this isnt the whole thing, but you wanted solo hunter. I wont post it till I get a good run. this run is for teaching.

[nocturne siren]

Still waiting on solo heroic countdown clear ✅

[snow cargo]

No comment.

[high glade]

I've been trying to follow this conversation all day. Absolutely ridiculous with literally zero basis of truth. I can claim anything. Doesn't mean it's remotely true/factual, or even possible.

Please, for the sake of the entire community, don't come in here with profound claims with no proof at all to backup whatever nonsense you're spouting.

I'm about 99.99% sure that nobody, and I do mean nobody, is soloing an entire Heroic Countdown with an all red Glass Cannon build. With that said, let's drop the bs claims until proof is provided. Until then, don't even mention it.

Thank you on behalf of the entire community.

[nocturne siren]

Bro crashed out hard 💀

[slim elk]

damn 💀

[turbid sapphire]

done. will upload

so a quick note, this mission has massive time sinks. to get it perfect you need very specific "rolls" you need close range dmg up, you need steam pipes final objective, you need hostile upload and wardogs as secondary obj. if you have these you can dodge timesinks. I ddint, so Im only going to prove it possible.

you cannot cheese the hunters realy in the beginning, because their nonstop emp will screw up your dps vs obj. youd need at leas 80% hzpr prob with high dps, but I dont have one of those builds. so meh.

last note, the objective I did was "protect vip" because I got bad rolls. no dmg up, and I got shd crates and vip. shd crates is unique, as you cant capture both solo. you have to nab one, then WHILE its stealable, you have to go get the other. its a pain, and the shd stuff isnt pfe. vip is annoying cuz the enemies are often coward, or run run run. BUT counter to popular reddit opinion, vip is just "eliminate enemys" with 3 dogs added. their both atrocious mission time sinks. 3 enemy waves, and vip gets dogs and rando aggro swap

[solid laurel]

What am I missing here 😆

[nocturne siren]

Bug

[solid laurel]

Really

[turbid sapphire]

in before they reveal their modifiers, and they got all those with a team mates companion, the ultimate troll

[nocturne siren]

Always

[solid laurel]

So no fix ??

[turbid sapphire]

in seriousness, if its a real bug, put in a ticket. they care about stuff that costs money

[solid laurel]

Ticket ?

[turbid sapphire]

use that screenshot and make sure you send ss with your companion, next to you, active.

yyy, on ubisoft website, support

[nocturne siren]

The update will hit tonight so there's likely a fix tomorrow

[inner tendon]

@solid laurel There's a link at the top of #rules,

[turbid sapphire]

I will make a "perfect" run eventually, this was only to show its possible
but im sleepy, so nn

[solid laurel]

Seems like too much work lol

I'll wait for it to get fixed I guess

[high glade]

That's pretty impressive. Didn't watch entirely, but did scan through. Fair game there man. Well played.

[turbid sapphire]

Ill do the perfect run soon, because of that, thx ❤️

[nocturne siren]

I'll give credit where credit is due, but the other objectives were a failure because you won't have enough time. A successful completion of countdown is not just extraction, but completing the objectives as well. At most, you've proven it's possible to solo heroic 1 objective, not fully clearing countdown itself as a solo on heroic. Which is what your claim was

Still, giving credit where credit is due, you did successfully extract. And that's definitely hard without HBreaker or PFE

[turbid sapphire]

omg . lets try. I lost Im bad 🙁 I got too pushy with hunter and got axed twice. anyway, if I succeed, Ill post it. too much time lost

[strange harbor]

Unless I'm missing context, he was using HeartBreaker

[rugged stratus]

you need one more item completed, still 3 left. go do your companion intro mission as thatll be the quickest to complete

[jade halo]

Yo guys, i had a companion modifier and was using assault or whatever, i recently bought the new york DLC and now they are all locked and I can't recruit any? Do i gotta do anything or is it just bugged and im cooked.

[strange harbor]

Like you can't find new companions to recruit in NY? What level are you?

[jade halo]

I can't recruit in NY and washinton and can't activate any im level 40

I have global activated but i think it broke ever since i installed the DLC

[strange harbor]

It does sound like a bug

[dense basalt]

I've seen other people mention it in #unofficial-troubleshooting

[solid laurel]

Yeah where is it nothing is show up

[copper zodiac]

S'there an easy way to get a hunter for Ridgeway's Pride Project?

[dense basalt]

Coney Island manhunt mission just toggle to it n play on normal

[solid laurel]

??

[copper zodiac]

ballpark or amusement.

[dense basalt]

Amusement

[neat holly]

@jaunty bough

This you? 😆

[jaunty bough]

i've been discovered 😶‍🌫️

[neat holly]

LMAO

I had to do a double take when I saw your name in the public area

[jaunty bough]

☃️

i'm tweaking my loadout... i swear i spend more time managing than killing 😆

[solemn river]

is the buddy worth getting?

[neat holly]

The companions?

[solemn river]

yes

[neat holly]

I say it's worth it. It's the modifier for this season, they're novel to the series, and while they absolutely suck at combat, they're really good at serving as a portable decoy/reviver

[solemn river]

insane work ill keep that in mine can i upgrade mutiple stats on a piece of armour?

[neat holly]

And if you dont like them, you can just unequip the companion themself in the modifier menu

[neat holly]

With optimization, yes. Only one stat/talent can be recalibrated though

[solemn river]

ok thank you for help

[neat holly]

No problem!

[neat holly]

(To clarify, EVERY attribute can be improved to max, but only one can be changed to something else entirely)

[solemn river]

also one more question how to fix this terrible frame drop

[neat holly]

Does it happen at specific moments?

[solemn river]

happens randomly and then stays like that and have to restart game

[neat holly]

Odd
I've personally never experienced that myself

When I was having some issues with other technical stuff in Div 2, changing to fullscreen rather than windowed borderless fixed it for me

[solemn river]

not fullscreen T-T

[neat holly]

It varies from hardware to hardware unfortunately with things like this

My old PC didn't have the issue that my new PC has

But it had issues that my new one doesn't have too

You could open a support ticket with Ubi
That might help

[subtle grove]

How can I get some cool looking dyes and transmog? Also, what is some of the one strap backpacks, and the shirt items I can use with it

[neat holly]

For dyes, you can get them through open world orange airdrop crates and certain weapon crates (with the exception of 1.5 of the dyes locked behind open world hunters (solid ivory weapon dye from main game or from acquiring the Shield Splinterer named AR, and full black gear dye from WoNY)), apparel caches, season pass rewards, certain named items, and the store.
For transmog, just pick up a piece of gear once, and you can change your non-exotic pieces to look like it.

For the one strap items, a few that I know of are the influencer hoodies (i.e. RogueGold), the Chameleon hoodie, and certain full outfit sets like the Houndsman outfit.
There are many more, I just prefer the two strap packs so I don't know them off the top of my head

The combos that work are based on both the backpack apparel and the shirt

Almost all of them are premium items unfortunately, and will need to either be earned if they come out for free, or bought with real money

Interesting. It also seems that certain outfits that were added prior to one-strap packs being in TD2 are also compatible if the backpack is too

[neat holly]

This video explains it too

[copper zodiac]

How to explain someone ts game's "gameplay changes" to someone that hasn't played in 2 yrs.

[delicate tartan]

Morning i might have to wait for todays manhunt quest solutions, today i will do manhunt and colaboration event 🙂

[spare atlas]

A question about usability of Overdogs in general gameplay, do you have to be fairly aware/attentive about what you are shooting or does it come mostly "automatically" when you generally shoot "softer" targets first?

[left ravine]

If you need solutions for the manhunt you might like this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/s/KAsemqAeSd

[left ravine]

Depends on you. But they're valid either way, if you don't always stick to the order it's np and you'll get a nice damage boost when you do.

[spare atlas]

Yea the 30% amp damage sounds really powerful, I'll just try to get them and see if it fits my general playstyle I guess 😅

[cold pumice]

Even without prioritising targets you'll see a boost to average DPS. They work best with Negotiators Dilemma because it can ignore the target priority and applies the amp to all marked targets

[spare atlas]

Also is "Salvo" good for a Tipping Scales build? 10% RoF seems nice for stack buildup, but idk if some other named outshines it 🤔 Sorry for all the questions, just preparing a bunch of builds and items to farm

[green frost]

RoF doesn't really matters with Tipping Scales, you get one stack a second, so even if you just shoot one bullet per second you are getting stacks, dumping a mag really fast does not increases how fast you get stacks

[spare atlas]

Oh per second, sry thought per shot

[green frost]

You can also shoot at the ground with your pistol before starting combat so you get max stacks before engaging

If it has a supressor it won't aggro

[nocturne siren]

I know he was, I was simply saying if he used anything but heartbreaker or PFE, he likely wouldn't have survived

[left ravine]

Use The Cooler 😎

[nocturne siren]

Since when did suppressors work and not pull aggro?

[mellow trout]

Never

[left ravine]

Cooler pulls aggro too

[cold pumice]

This is not true, suppressors have zero mechanics that mitigate aggro.

Enemy aggro in this game isn't well known, but we do know that it aggros towards the player dealing the most damage

[green frost]

I heard that from a content creator I always trusted so I assumed it's true, I haven't tested it yet so, my bad

[oak gazelle]

they did in div1 with their threat stat

[nocturne siren]

Don't trust content creators ever. Always double check with tests. Anybody can make a claim and have it be not true. Plenty of examples of that here in this discord alone, and thousands more on the internet

[subtle grove]

Is summit a good way to grind solo? Other than normal countdown? I'm asking since I got no PS+ to go for squads/matchmaking

[nocturne siren]

Retaliation

[subtle grove]

Where can I find that on the megamap?

[nocturne siren]

Open the map, find the tab for retaliation. You have to trigger a retaliation to start it. Usually involves killing certain faction members, doing bounties tied to a specific faction, or by completing missions tied to a specific faction

[subtle grove]

Ah, alright thanks, but uhhh is summit good for grinding tho?

[nocturne siren]

Major hell no

Retaliation fully replaced it. Summit drops are abysmal

[spare atlas]

I just like playing Summit every now and again, but Retal is just much more rewarding in terms of drops

[nocturne siren]

You can farm a boss floor in summit but that's a joke in and of itself too

My partner and I farmed for BTSU gloves via boss farming in summit and got every other exotic under the sun BUT what we wanted. Even with Targeted Loot. About 10 matches of countdown with complaining managed to get us the drop. We did the same for St Elmo's, just wouldn't drop. First match of retaliation, the gun dropped. Summit is just too pitiful to bother with outside of boss floor Exo/Mod slot farm

Retal/Countdown drops more compared to summit

[delicate tartan]

@left ravine Nice, now i dont need to ask about manhunt cause i got all info the whole season! Thanks

[left ravine]

Np. Read the disclaimer tho and check weekly for changes

[delicate tartan]

I use the rededit link and it updates automatically right?

[left ravine]

Author said to check weekly for possible changes (which he will make)

[oak gazelle]

you don't need to check weekly, but after an update drops

[left ravine]

Ya, my bad

[neat holly]

It hasn't really changed much in the past 2 years
Mainly just a bit of power creep

[neat holly]

This, 1000%
And Summit is boring as shit too lol

[spare atlas]

I saw someone on YT immediately open their field prof caches instead of holding the button every single time, anyone know what button combo does that? Woops nvm, you just left click them instead of holding F 😅

[turbid sapphire]

jean jackets have 1 strap

[cold pumice]

Spam left click and space, only slows down for bonus items

[copper zodiac]

Why use Tech spec's Lazer when Heartbreaker can slap pulse on headshot?
Target Acquisition?

[cold pumice]

Because Tech laser means you dont need to headshot. Just point and shoot

[copper zodiac]

When your first instinct is to aim for the head upon firing within 25m? Ok sure.

[cold pumice]

Sure, Rambo

[nocturne siren]

Explain how you plan on pulsing Warhounds ... They don't have heads. Same with enemy skills

[copper zodiac]

Scanner Pulse

[nocturne siren]

"using pulse skill" isn't efficient either when you're EMPd

Because that's on a constant cooldown. And if you're EMP, you can't pulse shit

[copper zodiac]

Fair.
Been thinking s'there a duration on the Lazer's Pulse?

[nocturne siren]

None. It's as simple as point and click. But heartbreaker is known as a "worse striker" due to the pulse mechanic

And well, not everything has a head

Choosing not to take LLP is just nerfing yourself

[turbid sapphire]

LOL I luv the hidden assassin creed mechanics in this game. theres an amazing fold most dont know, and it plays WAY more into hc, then main game

[copper zodiac]

I mean. When you're deducting DMG for more armor I think it makes sense.
Js wonder if its even worth running.

[nocturne siren]

Armor holds you back even more

I've seen people play all red heartbreaker and it works. It's just redundant when striker does the job better and way easier mechanic

[turbid sapphire]

my favorite was when I discoverd black tusk drones dont actually know where you are, they go to your last known location and then just chill there if they dont find you

[nocturne siren]

Outside of group content, heartbreaker is okay for solos

[turbid sapphire]

there are some other super dumb mechanics, such as the hunters axe attack has a cd, the drone girls have a cd, FOR EACH PLAYER which is soooo dum. in a 1v4 drone girls, only 1 drone girl will activate at a time, within a windows. its funny

I learned that in the first journey. I tried to farm "destroy enemy utitily" using lego dua, I killed everything but 3 drone and the lil turds took TURNS throwing 2 drones. I was so annoyed. ended up farming a hyena car girl... 1... sigh.

[copper zodiac]

K. Whats in it for groups?
Tanking is a Niche (unless raids) & Pulse is aight.
Unless there's nuance in a beefier DPS Atp I could js run another Striker.

[nocturne siren]

Nothing really. You'll be outputting way less damage than your average striker build in groups

[turbid sapphire]

Heartbreaker is medicore. I say this from the person who spent a year making it viable. its hard counter in pvp by yaahl and sys, it struggle vs obj and headless without pulse scanner or skill sacrafice. It good genericaly, specialy if you use mine, which doesnt rely on pulse 100%, but ye. all red hbr is redundant because its dmg is worse than striker, and you get trash bonus a* (mine uses brazen asc12 and memento, when pulse sucks)

[rugged stratus]

should be here, iirc. east mall, close to solar farm

[delicate tartan]

The last scout is not easy i did 2 hostage save one true suns, one outcast nothing what do i wrong?

[nocturne siren]

Likely faction specific

Or a bug

[delicate tartan]

Well if its a bug we all are stuck but

Are you done fifty with manhunt todays quest?

[nocturne siren]

I haven't done any of them because I've had work all week and the 2 days I had off I spent it with my partner helping her farm builds. Busy life sucks. And I'm saving them for stretch goals

Powering them all out when stretch goals isn't active is a bad move. The XP is insanely useful during stretch goals bc they usually run XP events during it

I saved all my scouts last stretch season and jumped an easy 30-45 levels just by mindlessly completing scouts

[delicate tartan]

Oh

[nocturne siren]

That was just in an hour, mind you, jumping those levels

[delicate tartan]

I try last hostage save , east mall, true suns

[nocturne siren]

This still doesn't prove suppressors negate aggro. You're shooting away from the enemies. Keep the suppressor on and shoot AT the enemies next time

There's no stealth mechanic in div 2. Never has been

And please condense your clip size 🙏 280 MB for a 20 second clip is overkill quality

[delicate tartan]

Its not working what is the last manhunt quest? I dont know what to do im stuck

[green frost]

That's true, but I specifically said you can shoot at the ground with a suppressor to get full Tipping Scales stacks before starting combat. Sorry if I phrased it wrong

[nocturne siren]

You said this which was dead wrong

This has NOTHING to do with tipping scales

I wished suppressors actually worked. I'd play it like splinter cell and less like a Gun-Fu game

[oak gazelle]

did you do hostage rescues (green) or public executions (red)

[green frost]

If you look two messages above I was talking about Tipping Scales, I guess it's my bad for not being specific

[nocturne siren]

This could be a possibility too, didn't think of that ^^

[nocturne siren]

I saw what you were saying. Your follow up to that was "suppressors negate aggro"

[delicate tartan]

I do red, whats green

[green frost]

I still remember the supposedly stealth mechanics from the div 1 trailer... Damn I wish

[oak gazelle]

so you did the wrong one

[delicate tartan]

Why do green?

[copper zodiac]

S'there a way to tell if an yellow gear is Named without looking at Details.

[nocturne siren]

Believe me, I wish there was a stealth mechanic too. I'd put suppressors on my sniper rifles and I would play it like a stealth operator

[oak gazelle]

because only hostage rescues are the correct ones, which are green activites
you rescue ppl at public executions, too but thats a different activity

[delicate tartan]

How do i find green what does it look like

[obtuse timber]

can i get the shroud or tempest from exotic cache if i didnt play the previous season?

[delicate tartan]

I only have red, public executions

[obtuse timber]

nvm tempest is master mode manhunt reward

[oak gazelle]

#ask-td2-community message

[copper zodiac]

GAURANTEED on master. You can still get on below as RNG.

[delicate tartan]

Well i dont see on my map so how do i get this activity

[oak gazelle]

tbf a lot of people misunderstood what you were trying to say at first, me included 😄 but yea out of combat silencer will help you with not being detected

[oak gazelle]

they're more likely to spawn when you have took over the CPs in an area, but the one I posted will spawn sometimes regardless

[delicate tartan]

Oja ok

Why do they give rng based manhunt quests, like suply drop, green hostage rescue... its so frustrating, they have never give us that before.

[oak gazelle]

they have
but they're not rng either, you can have brooklyn or NY taken over and keep the map green, there are plenty spawns or keep a green map at a backup char it's not that hard

[delicate tartan]

Im clearing controll points now

[spare atlas]

are the "Legacy Season Caches" just brand/set items from last season?

[nocturne siren]

No. They contain stuff from season 1 and a few seasons up. Sys corr, EP, Striker, and some pvp named items

[spare atlas]

righto ty

[desert thunder]

How is it a sniper NPC can shoot four people with one shot and we all be standing in different sides of the sniper, one person behind them, one person in front of them, one person to the left, one person at the right and somehow the sniper can shoot one shot and hit all four of us. Can somebody explain the mechanics of this please?

[turbid sapphire]

No I'm not doing this apparently I am, god it's so annoying. Just know that there is a stealth mechanic in this game, and you're the one who doesn't know it. Nub indeed

It's astounding, that even after you're proven wrong several times you still think that you know more

In that clip he literally shot his unsilenced weapon at the empty air, and the enemies then noticed him. Before this he shot his silence weapon at the same empty air and they didn't notice him. It's like showing someone an Apple and an orange and saying what's the difference, and they say they're fruit there is no difference

The reason I added to his point, is because the fact that this game has stealth, has been a well-known fact to most PVE long-term players. It's not even a question

I regret unblocking you. Fixing that omg

[inner tendon]

For the record: There is no stealth mechanic in div2. Silenced weapons do not silence your weapon.
And if you alert one enemy in an area, you alert them all, just pretend it's a psychic link.

This is so incredibly easy to show in action, I'm sure everyone here has at least done it unintentionally a dozen times per play session.

[storm bronze]

So what exactly did they add in this update?

[pseudo tundra]

there was no update today, just maintnance

[nocturne siren]

Btw this is from the same guy who said you can solo heroic countdown. Full completion

Did NOT mean to leave the ping on I'm sorry 🙏

[storm bronze]

Oh, wasn't there some sort of collab? Or did I overhear something?

[pseudo tundra]

ah

[inner tendon]

It's all good, as long as it's not excessive/malicious, it's mostly fine.
If I really wanted it off, I'd have my name on red.

[pseudo tundra]

survivefest

[inner tendon]

There's a link to the creator collab event over in #td2-general-chat > 📌 for full details.

[pseudo tundra]

it's not much a collab as devs are playing and showing of survival from div1 to those who dont know

[storm bronze]

Is it for division 1 or 2? I don't know where to find it

[pseudo tundra]

because they are going to make a similar mode to division 2 next year

guess thats what happens when i type away from the screen

[bold fulcrum]

so im doing the second scvout, what do i have to do on the last step here?

[pseudo tundra]

hostage rescue (green) not public execution (red)

[inner tendon]

@storm bronze Survivefest is played in div1, but you get rewards for div2 by doing it.
#news-and-announcements has a link to the page of info about it.

[bold fulcrum]

oh, well guess i should head to brooklyn or manhattan

[storm bronze]

Oh, so it's gonna require the survival dlc, awesome no rewards for me

[nocturne siren]

Bud, he was shooting AWAY from the enemies. Do the same thing with a suppressed weapon but shoot AT the enemies. There is no stealth mechanic

[inner tendon]

@storm bronze The game has been out for almost 10 years at this point, and it's only a patch+weapon skin anyway.
Don't stress over it.

[storm bronze]

I was about to say that it's fine anyway lol

[spare atlas]

@storm bronze check out the new daily creator projects that came with today's maintenace, you get a bunch of caches for just playing 3 missions, seems pretty noice for newer players, I had use for all the materials

[storm bronze]

Also what exactly do you gain from clans?

[pseudo tundra]

some cosmedics, access to another shop and caches from time to time

[storm bronze]

That sounds nice, although I don't think I'm able to join a clan yet

[inner tendon]

The best thing about joining a clan (apart from it meaning that you have folks to run stuff with) is that very occasionally, they can have Yaahl pieces in their vendor, which are normally DZ locked.

[pseudo tundra]

we do have a channel just for people to post their clan if they want to recruit in #td2-clan-recruitment , otherwise i would say a lot of them are casual

[turbid sapphire]

This will be the last time I prove anything. Tonight I will prove that stealth exists. Like I said the doubt and the objective and arbitrary nonsense is tiring and obnoxious

The funniest thing, about all of this nonsense. Is normal players actually know all of this. It's only people who are obsessed with damage, they're the ones who don't know that stealth exist. How would you You've never used it. You're an elephant in a room tramping on every enemy

[inner tendon]

You need to tone down the grandiose statements, no one is waiting for your proof.
Just chill out.

[olive phoenix]

doakes gif

[olive phoenix]

well according to your username, division doesnt have math, but it does like any game, but i guess thats not a discussion we should get into. point is there's no argument to be made here

[turbid sapphire]

That's a good point. Valorant has math too. None of the players really talk about it though.

Im being silly prob. I play without flytex, and when I'm not showing something, I don't have numbers in the chat. I don't actually have math on my builds. Which is why my name is that way. Just personal opinion

[olive phoenix]

I see, I mean I agree that division isn't math "literally". It's a game, not math. But there's always math to be made in any way. Like you said in valorant you could probably calculate time to kill per weapons depending on fire rate and damage they deal and such
In division you can calculate whatever is the best in terms of damage depending to gear, talents, weapons, crit, attributes and many many factors.

Personally the way I think is that it depends what you're trying to do. Lets say someone wants to run an Ongoing Directive build, if I just try to "help" and go "JUST RUN STRIKER INSTEAD" i'm not helping, its literally proposing a totally different set/build/playstyle.
But lets say someone wants an ongoing directive build and a Ceska backpack is slightly better than Grupo proven by math, then there would be no point for me to say "use a Grupo backpack" over a Ceska when it'll play the same, run the same, just slightly better values
thats what i meant mostly

[turbid sapphire]

I will consider, finishing that guide. The one that lets other people build without using math, and still do lots of damage.

[nocturne siren]

Would love to see you clear a control point without alerting 1 single enemy 👌

[turbid sapphire]

The way I make my builds, just to give a light summary. Is I use something that I refer to as soft caps. I believe that there is a set damage value, that when you hit it, going over doesn't boost time to kill noticeably. This doesn't affect speed running, where microseconds matter. But if you only raise your time to kill by 1%, there are better stat drops that you can do. Maybe small maybe minor, but every bit helps when you're supporting your teammates

[rugged stratus]

Division technically is math

[turbid sapphire]

Local deck I swear to God lol

[rugged stratus]

Swear to Lootcifer*
I got you this time 😈

[turbid sapphire]

@olive phoenix The best way people can see this, my striker headhunter build, that mutated into a hunters fury. The only thing that I actually did that was math, was I hit the 150% with SR1. The fact that it hits 23 million, was just a fun discovery.

[olive phoenix]

I get your point but again I think it depends on context, there's no point to use lesser things for the same result. I mean same example I used, if someone pretty new told me "I have a Grupo backpack, not a Ceska one", Well sure he'll lose on a tiny bit of values, but in the end its not considerable to the point i'll be like "YOUR BUILD ISN'T POSSIBLE TO RUN RAAAH WHAT ARE YOU DOING"
But for someone fresh it would be pointless to recommend something mathematically slightly worse when its the same result play wise, with just slightly better values. Even if like you said it might just very slightly increase time to kill, in the end if its the exact same thing but very slightly better for same cost, its pointless not to

[mellow trout]

Let's see Paul Allen's stealth clears

Solid Snake%

[olive phoenix]

clearing far cry outposts

[muted ether]

we need stealthgamerbr on the case

[inner tendon]

It might help somewhat if you define what "I don't use math" means.

[turbid sapphire]

You're joking, but actually.. You can't clear without killing, but... Hold on. I need to think on this.

[pseudo tundra]

im' just surprised in seeing questions from 2019 coming back with a vengance

[turbid sapphire]

Oh my God, this weekend I'm going to put time into this. I'm going to find a mission that can be at least progressed without letting people know you're there. This is actually going to be fun

[inner tendon]

@pseudo tundra but can you stealth airport though?
that might've been too niche.

[olive phoenix]

Well technically Kelso's manhunt mission you can just run to the end before the last room. They do instantly aggro you when they spawn, you can just run and skip it. It's not really stealth combat at all it's just avoiding the fight tho (Probably is somewhere where you could yeah)

[inner tendon]

Fun fact: the only spot in the entirety of the div2 base campaign that you can get through with intentionally not firing a shot and still have them all die, is in that one room in DCD.

[turbid sapphire]

I'll finish the guide this weekend. I've never actually put time into making one, because people often just want builds that are for numbers.

[inner tendon]

That doesn't answer the question at all.

[mellow trout]

Builds and maths go hand in hand

[turbid sapphire]

Hmmmmm so, I was a little bit testy before, I'll give some examples of how stealth works inside of division 2. Just because it's not as well known as maybe it could be. One example of how stealth works, is if you throw your decoy out, and then you hide. After your decoy explodes they will actually lose you. Another example is that a drone girl, from the tusk faction will send her drones to your last known location, but if you successfully sneak from A to b, without the drone seeing you. They will go back to your last location. And hover there

[pseudo tundra]

look i dont do hard math into my build, i just shoot stuff and get a sense if damage isnt good enough or not by playing some missions on heroic with 4 people to know if it's good enough or not

[mellow trout]

If you're not using maths to any extent idk wtf is going on😭

[olive phoenix]

Yes again as mentionned we all make math inconsciously, like when trying to optimise crit chance to crit damage ratio

[pseudo tundra]

but i think this whole new wave of people just doing "vibecoding" for work kinda people actually putting effort

[olive phoenix]

its something that just about anyone will do, and even though we may not realize it we're doing math to an extend by adding and substracting one or another

[inner tendon]

It's not even so much that "you need to worship a calculator and make sacrifices to Excel", just that numbers by their very definition are "using maths".

[pseudo tundra]

if you know your number go up, that means you used math

[mellow trout]

Number go up, damage go up, big happy

[inner tendon]

You said before that you hit 150% HSD with the MMR build, that is a way for your talent to function.
that is maths.

[olive phoenix]

men see big number
men happy

[mellow trout]

Today is giving 6 piece 5.11

[olive phoenix]

5 pc + ninjabike take it or leave it

[mellow trout]

Just has that aura

[turbid sapphire]

Yes. Division has math in it, and to an extent you do have to know at least let's say high school math. But as long as you understand some pretty consistent values such as 60% chc You can just build a set, that has X effect, and use a weapon that compliments it, and the build will probably be pretty good.

[inner tendon]

@olive phoenix I can confirm that women like bigger shooty numbers too.
and everyone else!

@turbid sapphire This is all a bit, right? You started this whole "no maths ever" thing as a joke, and now you're too deep in to stop?

[mellow trout]

It's a pretty reductionist take

[turbid sapphire]

Riven... I made that heartbreaker set that cleared countdown without knowing how to do damage calculation

[inner tendon]

I promise you that if you never bring it up again, there'll be no issues from folks about it.

[mellow trout]

There's a lot more nuance to making a build than slap on 60 CHC, a gear set and a good gun

[inner tendon]

The fact that we know 60% is the hard chc cap and it's not just a visual thing, is due to the math nerds.

[pseudo tundra]

i dont know what are the crit rates of 90% of my builds, i just know i have enough

[turbid sapphire]

I'll make the guide that this weekend, You're right, but it is a little bit simpler than a lot of people make it into. That's all. And if you guys have questions, I'm happy to answer any of them. There's a reason my builds do consistently over a mill, and it's not because I know how to do math. It's just because I know how to play the game and put it together

[inner tendon]

hell, I'd just assume that it was the highest the game showed, like negative damage in mission screens kinda thing.

[olive phoenix]

Thats pretty much what I meant last time when I mentionned my example with Ceska and Grupo, to back up Naval's claim. You can do the exact same thing but make it slightly better for the same purpose and use because math let you compare whats better and not. And sometimes it's not even slightly, sometimes we're talking about 10's% of increase
Yes you dont NEED it, but its pointless to skip on it for the same cost/usage

[pseudo tundra]

well most builds have been "solved" in terms of math, honestly at this point is just people trading pieces for small sidegrades or fun

as long they are aware of that than making builds is fine

[olive phoenix]

I mean in the end lots of us use sub-optimal builds for fun, in the end of the day variety would be like 2 striker builds 1 determined build if everyone was running full meta

[pseudo tundra]

problem is claiming to find the true hidden meta that no one though before that just has garbage stats for no reason

[nocturne siren]

Failing countdown objectives due to running out of time isn't a clear btw. It's a failure. If your job is to clear 3 rooms and you only cleared 1 and skipped the other two, is that actually successful? Not really. At most you've proven you can do 1 objective and extract

[turbid sapphire]

What bird shot said is super important. Most meta builds, have the best damage or roll effect squeezed out of them. Such as HPS. What I do, is I take a set that is meta, not purposely, but there's a meta set for everything. And I drop the 0.1% that have been added to it, and I add another function. This is why the headhunter set exists. That's why I made it

[inner tendon]

Just to confirm: you are admitting that div2 math was important at one point?

[mellow trout]

I need a map I'm lost

[turbid sapphire]

I said several times, you need basic math skills. But the math skills that are shown by the damage calculators. I look at it and my eyes cross. And I would imagine most players do

[pseudo tundra]

well your build was purposely gimping a lot of the point of headhunter for fun, it's not a good idea to sell it as a big valid build people should use

[inner tendon]

So div2 is math, glad we sorted that out.

[turbid sapphire]

In fairness birdshot, I've never told anyone to use the head hunter build. Some people say that it gimps it, I don't see the lack of obliterate being a gimp. It's been a long time since I've used flytex, but I think, obliterate adds to a striker set at 1 million damage about 150,000. I could be wrong.

[clever fjord]

so far in mathing anything it's just multiplying and adding sometimes division cause mathing sustain
is that not like basic math

[olive phoenix]

Yeah ngl if I take a look at any excel sheet for the game I'm the most confused mf

[nocturne siren]

Spacing your stuff out definitely helps

[turbid sapphire]

So. When I made the hunter fury headhunter. All I did, was make it have red cores, make it hit 50% crit chance. And then just put everything else into crit damage. As long as my SR1 had 150% headshot. After that the fact that it does damage, is just because the game is well made

[olive phoenix]

Yeah I assume its like code to an extent, readability helps and making it yourself you'll obviously understand what you wrote

[inner tendon]

You put 50% CHC on an MMR?

[nocturne siren]

Correct on this

[turbid sapphire]

You could say that that is math, but in my opinion we learned how to add and subtract in third grade.

[nocturne siren]

He's also using tempest HH with crits and HSD. Barely reaches 7 digit numbers. Only 7 digits you see is with 1 shot from HH buff

[inner tendon]

Kindergarten math is still math.
1+1 was kinda important.

[turbid sapphire]

I don't know riven. The reality is, you use math when you fill a glass of water. You don't talk about it, and you don't call it math. I just don't call it math.

[mellow trout]

DPS 101 is never mix crits and headshot (this is the maths that apparently isn't important)

[inner tendon]

If you have to use calculations when you pour a glass of water, you may need to go see someone.

[olive phoenix]

I mean if we go this length you could try to calculate how much oxygen you inhale every breath

[inner tendon]

I understand you are trying to use a metaphor here, but it's not a good choice.

[olive phoenix]

I don't think going down such a rabbit hole sounds very healthy for your mental health 🙏

[turbid sapphire]

The point is you use math every single day, probably with everything you do. You just don't call it math.

[inner tendon]

Who says I don't?

[turbid sapphire]

You call it living your life. And I called division playing a game. Just because I use basic addition and subtraction, it just means that I'm playing a game.

[mellow trout]

VO2 max or smth idk I'm not an athlete

[inner tendon]

So div is math, but it's not math.
as long as that's the end of this conversation we can get back to letting the newbies ask questions.

[turbid sapphire]

Mhm

[olive phoenix]

But factually it is math. It's not 100% math like if I'm just doing a math problem, but it is a game, games are made with maths, and use math. It is partially math and uses math for the game and its function

[inner tendon]

I mean, all games are really just spreadsheets with pretty lights to cover it up>

some have more lights than others.

[olive phoenix]

I mean none of us are claiming it's math the same way as a math problem obviously (where its 100% math and no gameplay), I'm not trying to calculate the range at which I have to throw my hive for the radius to reach my teammate 9.425m away from me or whatever
Just to be clear (that sounds like a high school math problem i'm getting a headache.. XD)

[turbid sapphire]

You're absolutely right. I'm just not big on semantics. As long as everybody understands what's going on, I let people do their thing. People understand differently, and they use different words and phrases. But as long as you're successfully communicating, that's all that matters

[mellow trout]

If Aaron has 5 apples, and Alani has 17 oranges, how much health do 4 man scaled named enemies on heroic have?

[pseudo tundra]

with a good build, less than 1 AR mag

[turbid sapphire]

[olive phoenix]

If Kelso had to go, and Manny has a piece of shit wristwatch, what is the damage that will deal a legendary chunga with exactly 3.44% damage reduction

These are two examples of stealth working in Div2. It's not something you need to use most of the time, but it has its uses in some harder content.

The first video is a common wave skip in leg zoo. You need to sneak past the chunga to reach the mob in the back for a one shot. If you take exactly the same route and run you will be detected. Move speed is what's determining detection and that makes it stealth from a gameplay standpoint.

The second video is showing that suppressors prevent shot detection at a certain range. This is used in legendary tidal boss room. You can jump down, EMP the turrets, and destroy 2 turrets without triggering the room. A suppressor is mandatory to make this work. If you use an unsuppressed weapon you'll be detected

[eager inlet]

please post a video of this. I want to see it.

[cold pumice]

He did post a video of him completing one objective and extracting.

I'm impressed

[tribal hemlock]

Skip to 22:40:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyPr9oeHzxg

This is from toastey's tidal run in boss room. He uses the suppressor to destroy the turret box without being detected.

[turbid sapphire]

I want to clarify something. Iv been testy a few times. But most of the time when I get like that, it's because someone approached my statement with some iteration of "no, wrong, next." It would be a bit more helpful if it was approached from "iv never seen this. Why do you think that." I didn't learn what I have by thinking I know everything. Just thoughts

[tribal hemlock]

i'm not involved in this. i just wanted to correct the thing about stealth. i will go now.

[turbid sapphire]

@tribal hemlock I forgot to ping. That was for others who doubted stealth

Wasn't at you, your awesome.

[pastel grail]

Hello, I have a stupid yet simple question, do you guys know where I can get striker gear set as of right now? (just need one more piece to complete the set)

[turbid sapphire]

Count down. Hold down H, to select Stryker as your loot. You'll get two drops on average from the first two objectives, and then about 10 to 15 for the 3rd objective. And then there'll be a lot of drops after that from the helicopter

[pastel grail]

Ah okay now thank you

[turbid sapphire]

If you want to play solo, you can do this same thing by initiating a retaliation. Which can be achieved by completing a stronghold of one of the not black tusk factions. Then you can use the retaliation menu to make Stryker the loot drop, and complete that solo.

[half karma]

how do you get the Santa outfit? is it just finishing floor 100 of Summit during December?

[pseudo tundra]

i tjhink it's available each year but the actual christmas event didnt start

wait for more details is usual approach

[noble sail]

So they still havent fixed the armor bug in the tower?

[cold pumice]

What armour bug?

[worldly fjord]

Has skillz dropped his arm patch code?

[haughty vessel]

does anyone have the codes?

[haughty vessel]

thx

[solid laurel]

What's this for

[inner tendon]

@worldly fjord The DJ tickle one is bringing up an error code, but the others work fine.

Tried a different order, still nada.

[bold tiger]

Getting a creator arm patch

[inner tendon]

Last event the codes were given out by the creators themselves, the devs said they wanted to make sure everyone got them, so they gave us all a code to use, 'geology has just posted links.

[solid laurel]

ah cool

Any other codes for anything??

[turbid sapphire]

"rewarded for participating in the survival fest" wut?

[bold tiger]

No clue

[worldly fjord]

A buddy of mine actually managed to claim it a few hours ago. Guess he got lucky cause all others are having the issue

[storm bronze]

Is there any reason to actually run summit?

[inner tendon]

@storm bronze It's basically Countdown, but instead of sheer loot numbers, you can get higher quality specific pieces by stacking up Directives/doing boss farms/stuff like that.
It's overall not as good, but has its uses.

[inner tendon]

#news-and-announcements message

[storm bronze]

Also is incursion just for beating it or is there any other reason?

[left ravine]

You have a chance to get the Ouroboros

[storm bronze]

What's that?

[left ravine]

Exotic SMG

[storm bronze]

Is it any good though?

[left ravine]

Njes

[inner tendon]

@left ravine Pardon?

[storm bronze]

Eh?

[inner tendon]

@storm bronze It's pretty good, not super OP kill meta woohoo, but it's solid.

[storm bronze]

Yeah I meant if it's usable not like OP

[spare atlas]

It's the highest RPM gun in the game I think? If you like BRRRRT it should be pretty fun

[inner tendon]

It was fairly overstrong and got rebalanced, not it's just "good".

[left ravine]

It's alright but nothing special

[inner tendon]

@left ravine Sorry but I'm going to have to ask what "njes" is.

[left ravine]

You mean in relation to the gun?

[inner tendon]

Here.

[left ravine]

The talent isn't useful 90% of the time. It's good but not really at the same time.

Njes - No but yeah

[inner tendon]

wait what.

[left ravine]

Not sure what you mean lol

[inner tendon]

Where does the j come from?

[slim elk]

makes no sense

[left ravine]

Idk, old buddy of mine started that and it was funny to me

[inner tendon]

I'll be honest, I've been on the internet long enough that if you don't know where a slang comes from, I'd probably not use it.
since a lot of them are....how do I put this: super racist.

[left ravine]

What???

[inner tendon]

Just go with "nyes" or something in the future, it makes it look less like you're trying to bypass a certain word being filtered.

[left ravine]

If you google there's nothing coming up linking njes to anything racist. Where's that coming from?

[inner tendon]

A lot of experience with people creatively trying to bypass the n-word.

You start to look very suspiciously at anything with n, and a bunch of random letters afterwards.

[cold pumice]

The nordic journal of English Studies. Obviously 😛

[left ravine]

We were talking about the SMG, it wouldn't even make sense

Plus I'm not ever racist

[inner tendon]

Someone trying 3 times in one day to call themselves a certain german leader from ww2 doesn't make sense either, but you see some wild stuff in filters.

[left ravine]

Lol

[inner tendon]

I won't name names, but anyone who's been on a big server has seen at least a few.
regardless: no harm done, just had to be sure.

[left ravine]

First time I get confronted with this

Surely don't wanna trigger any filters tho

[slim elk]

bro... njes was never used before nor have we seen it and google says something completely unrelated

[inner tendon]

Yeah the automod bot is incredibly picky, and has ban powers.
I just always recommend erring on the side of caution.

[left ravine]

And?

[pseudo tundra]

people ask what they dont know

[left ravine]

Their tone implies that I would make that up

[inner tendon]

Whose tone?

[left ravine]

Doomz's

I mean it's a made up word with a certain meaning but nothing remotely racist whatsoever

[inner tendon]

It does sound made up, which is half of why I asked in the first place.
I said "no harm done", you don't need to keep going back to it.

[left ravine]

I just dislike that anyone would think I'd be racist in any way, that is all. Nvm

[tiny totem]

what do i have to do for this? i havnt seen any green convoys

[bold tiger]

pick an area capture control points and wait

[spare atlas]

That's for Scout 2, he's doing Scout 1

[rugged stratus]

Its a specific area

[spare atlas]

||Make East Mall friendly (cap all Control Points), then wait and hope for a supply drop activity (parachute symbol) ||

[rugged stratus]

Do a Google search for "division 2 mutiny manhunt" and youll have one of the results be a reddit post with all scout missions eventually published. Its spoiler tho obv

||east mall, take all control points, wait for a resupply action||

[tiny totem]

ok thanks peeps, i dont mind spoilers ill probally forget about all of it in a few days anyways 😛

[bold tiger]

well, other people don't want to be spoiled so it gets spoiled

[spare atlas]

I got a piece of system corruption from a legacy cache and spent printer filament to proficiency-level it. It now shows the whole set is proficient, so I don't need to collect more pieces? That menu keeps confusing me a bit sometimes

[bold tiger]

if you got a colored in star on it i think? it's proficient and you don't need to wear it or donate more to it

[pseudo tundra]

brand and set works by the whole package, not by individual pieces

so all your system corruption pieces can now be upgraded

[spare atlas]

alrighty thx

[nocturne siren]

His original claim was Countdown can be completed on Heroic as a solo. He failed the countdown's objectives, which will trigger the extraction early. So, did he actually complete countdown? No. Did he extract from it? Yes. But the claim was "you can clear countdown as a solo on heroic", which didn't happen since he failed the objectives due to lost time

If your mission is to open 3 doors, and you only opened 1 and skipped the other 2, did you really complete the mission? Not really. While it was impressive, it was still a fail

[supple bane]

so i just got the survive fest 25 patch when i logged in and the conditions for aquiring says "awarded for participating in survival fest". what are the actual conditions since i can say for certain i havent participated

[pseudo tundra]

things got changed, you can see it on #news-and-announcements
Log in Reward

All players who log in to The Division 2 during the event receive the Silver Survive Fest 2025 Patch.
Extraction Rewards

[winter mason]

How do i get the streamers apparel?

[left ravine]

Project chains, looting open world suitcases/backpacks

[delicate tartan]

Do we have the link of outfits cause i think i found all?

I mean colaboration link from yesterday

I found it - https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/the-division/the-division-2/news-updates/5dC63l1ZkRGir9Fe5H4nHz/the-division-2-second-creator-collaboration-event i got everything, backpacks are the last ones :). Verry happy.

[nocturne siren]

How long does the 3x XP run for? I won't have time to look in game

[turbid sapphire]

lol

dont ask about the diffculty, Im farming streamer drops

[turbid sapphire]

noice

this is an excellent farm for it btw. tons of backpacks etc.

[nocturne siren]

Damn, a week? Sucks I work all week

I might have time on Sunday. Might

[eternal edge]

is anyone else having issues with their crit numbers fluctuating like crazy

[nocturne siren]

Might be something with your build. Post it in #td2-build-advice

Plenty of knowledgeable people, including myself, would be more than happy to help you

[turbid sapphire]

Noooooo

42m hs from Lexington strained

[nocturne siren]

🤨

[eternal edge]

on my striker my crist flucutae from 900k plus per bullet down to 100k-200k per constantly

[eternal edge]

its not my build

[nocturne siren]

Who's is it?

[eternal edge]

huh?

[nocturne siren]

If it's not your build, who gave it to you?

[eternal edge]

no one lol i made it

[nocturne siren]

Do you have the modifiers on?

[eternal edge]

nope

[turbid sapphire]

its just random. its weird. recent weirdness

[nocturne siren]

What's your CHC % ?

[eternal edge]

56.3

[nocturne siren]

CHD?

[eternal edge]

128

thats for my ongoing directive. any build ive been using that uses high crits seems to be doing it

[nocturne siren]

Are you seeing orange fairly often?

[eternal edge]

yea it just fluctuaates from like 100-200k back to my normal 900-1mil

[mellow trout]

Modifiers

[nocturne siren]

Has to be modifiers

There's a bug where the modifiers will re-enable themselves

[eternal edge]

global or seasonal

[nocturne siren]

Seasonal

[eternal edge]

right now ive got spearhead

and passives ive got armor regiment, no escape, and rapid tactics

[nocturne siren]

But are they enabled?

[eternal edge]

yes but none of them should affect my crit damage imo

[nocturne siren]

It will because part of the modifiers, some enemies have 60% damage reduction. What's 60% of 1 million? Maybe 400k. And white numbers will show maybe 200k. The answer is disable the modifiers

That's your crit problem

[eternal edge]

ok but my organe crits are 100k the modifiers reduce it that much?

[nocturne siren]

60% is 60%

[eternal edge]

where does it say enemies have 60% damage reduction

[nocturne siren]

Read the hostile modifiers

[eternal edge]

ah i didnt even know these were here

[nocturne siren]

The damage reduction system was around during the Kelso manhunt. People disabled them bc it got annoying. It's now back this season hence why people turn it off

[turbid sapphire]

rng drop LOL the shd 1 was like.. uh you got this

[nocturne siren]

Yeah, reading does help. Yannick said to read live on stream last week

[turbid sapphire]

OD is just normay loot pool

[eternal edge]

who? i dont watch streams

[olive phoenix]

is this lexington headhunter
wha

[nocturne siren]

Yannick, the lead for Division 2

[turbid sapphire]

its called bored af, I dunno

[eternal edge]

never heard of em

[turbid sapphire]

being a meme

[nocturne siren]

Yup his damage came from Achilles. Not surprised

Plus HH

[olive phoenix]

thats a pulse not achilles tho
but yeah couldnt have been anything but a damage bug or HH

[nocturne siren]

Coulda swore Achilles shows up as a scanner pulse as a bug

[olive phoenix]

oh maybe idk about that

[nocturne siren]

Check. Last I recall, it does

[turbid sapphire]

also broken lol triple a game

[olive phoenix]

i never saw it but maybe yeah i havent used achilles in months

[nocturne siren]

Check, just to fact check me here. They could have fixed it

[olive phoenix]

does it just always show as such? i'll go check

[nocturne siren]

Last I recall, Achilles showed as a scanner pulse in the build menu

[olive phoenix]

Gotcha i'll go check rn

[nocturne siren]

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Game has too many bugs to keep track of what's fixed and what's not

[olive phoenix]

fair fair, i'm starting the game i wanna use the x3 while its still here anyway

[turbid sapphire]

23 expertise bta ❤️ pew pew

[eager inlet]

build?

[olive phoenix]

Here

[nocturne siren]

🤨 yeah idk

[turbid sapphire]

it has shotgun up. I was using backup broomstick out of big boredomn earlier

[nocturne siren]

42 million on Lexington seems like a massive stretch

[eager inlet]

just about zero change to hit 42M with a lexi with that build... considering that a min maxed hotshot HH hits about 35M with a white death.

[olive phoenix]

yeah I know i didnt say its the case just that its what he shared

[nocturne siren]

42m is nemesis numbers btw. Which that build that's posted DEFINITELY won't hit that

And me seeing the tempest right there is giving me some major fishy vibes

[olive phoenix]

i mean unless you had an overcharged achilles and buffs major buffs from other people (which even then you'd probably struggle to hit with a lexi)

[eternal edge]

i use shroud lol i hit over 70mil

[turbid sapphire]

I thought it was a steamdeck error tbh, til lhe said something. it was at work

[nocturne siren]

Not even then would you do that

[olive phoenix]

yeah you'd struggle as mentionned, i don't think you would even with 7 other people just buffing you

[nocturne siren]

Shroud is irrelevant in this conversation right now. But you are correct

[nocturne siren]

Not even injecting meth would buff you to hit those numbers

[olive phoenix]

xddddd

[nocturne siren]

A steam deck error doesn't magically super buff your damage in division. I would know I have one

[olive phoenix]

i just really dont get the point of lying about a totally irrelevant number for the sake of funsies

[nocturne siren]

Highly highly highly doubt your Lexington hit for that 42m

[olive phoenix]

@nocturne siren for me it has the right icon

[eager inlet]

guys I think I cracked it

[turbid sapphire]

he constantly trys to doubt me. I called him nub. thats why hes called that. dont worry. its over and done with. I dont bother trying to teach him stuff anymore.

[eager inlet]

only possibility is weaskpoint explosion

[olive phoenix]

i meant you btw
a lexi is NOT hitting that with what you showed

[nocturne siren]

LOL 🤣

[eager inlet]

you don't go from 200k to 42M with a random headshot just like that. Had to be a weakpoint blowing up.

[olive phoenix]

I mean weakspot shows yellow not red tho

[turbid sapphire]

I know. its not a lie. its was just random af. if it wasnt my lex it was the sr-1. but it doesnt matte.r I dont use achilles. its literaly expertise 16

[nocturne siren]

Idk dude that looks exactly like the scanner pulse icon

[olive phoenix]

it was the sr-1 but you said lexi?? wha...

[eager inlet]

it's yellow in chat too?

[olive phoenix]

i believe so yeah

[nocturne siren]

Dude you said your Lexi hit that

[turbid sapphire]

I had another crazy number, before. I done use sniper one controller cuz I suck, so I figured it was the lex

[valid bronze]

Yes

[eager inlet]

aaah

[valid bronze]

You know what it probably was? A skill being destroyed

[eager inlet]

could be yea

[nocturne siren]

Chat's over peeps, he said it was his SR-1

[turbid sapphire]

I rechjecked. it was the lex. look at the spray numbers.

[olive phoenix]

those show up as blue or white tho i'm pretty sure too
but yeah it was a SR1 (actually determined could make it show red tho ur right)

[turbid sapphire]

200k, no crit

[eager inlet]

even with sr1 that build doesn't hit 42

[valid bronze]

They show up as crits sometimes, could probably show as a headshot

[olive phoenix]

probably was just another build, atp its just gaslight maxxing

[turbid sapphire]

mhm. it was just random af. I thought it was funny. so I took a pic. game is funny sometimes

[olive phoenix]

losing braincells from this

[eager inlet]

@turbid sapphire post a video of it pls

[valid bronze]

99% chance it was a skill breaking

[turbid sapphire]

it was on steam deck 🙁 it was a bug. I thought it was funny

[olive phoenix]

yeah i believe if you shoot a skill with determined it shows as red

[eager inlet]

sigh

[turbid sapphire]

red is hs. its not determined...

[olive phoenix]

yes... thats what i mean bro...

[valid bronze]

Or if it broke when he had determined active itll probably show as a headshot

[eager inlet]

determined is headshot and will show red

[olive phoenix]

Bro, you can't headshot a skill, it doesnt have a head... But determined lets you HS a skill regardless, thats what i mean bruh

[turbid sapphire]

look at the log numbers pls the clock

all this happened in the span of 1 minutethe other shots were 200k

[olive phoenix]

thats only one headhunter stack as well likely too because white and then red btw

[nocturne siren]

All I'm seeing is 6 digit then 42m. I'm certain it's a weakpoint HH kill

[turbid sapphire]

Im going to leave this. this is silly. it was a bug. case closed. I never ment for all this. jeez

[nocturne siren]

So why post it to begin with?

[olive phoenix]

I'll check but i'm pretty sure they show yellow

[turbid sapphire]

skill/weakpoint is yellow. red is hs, white is body and not crit, orange is crit, hs doesnt change orange

[nocturne siren]

They should, it could also be a skill kill too. Like shooting an enemy deployed turret or so

[olive phoenix]

thank you i'm new to the game i needed this info

[dawn wave]

i did a hostage thing here for the man hunt and it legit didnt count

[nocturne siren]

Ravenous explosions show up as yellow too btw keep that in mind. So his point is invalid

Same with regulus explosion

Has to be skill kill. That's my final hypothesis

[turbid sapphire]

people doubt most of my stuff. because I dont know proper semantics, or do higher math than addition or subtraction. they dont understand why my builds work. youll get used to it. its been going on for about 2 months now.

my build are made cuz I play the game like darksider2. its a fun game.

[nocturne siren]

People doubt you because you're wrong 99.99% of the time 🤦 or have no logic to back things up

[eager inlet]

people doubt your stuff because you're talking nonsense out of your ass most of the time and you're incapable of understanding when you're being corrected.

[nocturne siren]

Or the definition gets changed. Hence why iKia didn't bother with you

[turbid sapphire]

lol

[slim elk]

yeah lol your way out

[turbid sapphire]

if I was... I wouldnt be able to back up everything I say.

[olive phoenix]

Yea

[turbid sapphire]

anyway. its pointless being nice. moving on

[olive phoenix]

weakspots do show yellow but again for all we know theres probably something that would show red due to "inconsistencies" like ravenous etc like you said

[rugged stratus]

Hyena kill squads in retaliation can get you the blueprint. Its how I got mine and crafted overdogs for each alt

[nocturne siren]

Thank you for confirming 🙏 visual proof does help

[eager inlet]

to add: you can also get it from hyena retal completion reward. That's how I got mine.

[nocturne siren]

👀 you taught me something new ty

[rugged stratus]

Nice, so hyena retaliation in general then 🍻

[turbid sapphire]

you mentioned you might be new. I made a video showing how rav works. so first, ravenous explosive does not inflict red hs. this is because technically the rav boom is grenade/skill dmg. however when it explodes on an armored enemy it will show up as blue. hope this helps.

rav can headshot its normal bullets. its explosion cant be hs

[olive phoenix]

oh i see

thank you, very useful sir!! I appreciate the efforts. Thank you for the throughout explaination 🙏

[turbid sapphire]

its a fun weapon if you like goofing off like I do and just having fun. its not meta lol, but fun

[olive phoenix]

Yeah I got it like a couple of days ago @nocturne siren helped me with a raid to get it
Thank you!

[turbid sapphire]

nice! so a few tips, mine is expertise 30, and Iv made a few workable builds. it has pretty terrible handling, but striker+sharpshooter specialist will do wonders. The alt fire effect buffs off your white armor. so a lot of blue cores makes a lot of bonus armor. alt fire weakens shield plates (dogs and chungus for example) but its a debuff, doesnt to "more" dmg to them. and primary explosion, is explosion, works like a grenade. fireing at full buff, dbls this effect from 5 stack to 10

pretty straight forward

[olive phoenix]

Yeah it does seem pretty simple, thank you for the explaination

[turbid sapphire]

wtf. cheating? why am I healing so fast?
all names are removed, this isnt a witchhunt. this was a random shepherd

I went to targeting range. my hp regen is normal now. I left group, Iv never seen this before. the leader was something "jesus" when I noticed this, I recorded it then left. I suck at video edits, so sorry about the terrible job.

[shell wraith]

Most efficient way to farm printer filament? Countdown with mods targeted and decon?

[turbid sapphire]

buy credits, with your watch then spam the store

[pastel grail]

Hello, is there any chance to get the Lexington named assault rifle as of right now? (Other than going through named caches)

[turbid sapphire]

stretch reward, after season ends is only known way

[pastel grail]

Ah okay

[shell wraith]

I've been using watch to get field recon and shd calibration :P

[olive phoenix]

Should I use overdogs, should i use a different set? There was an average player that told me it should tick for more, @turbid sapphire Do you have any recommendation for pestilence, i bought the skin for it

[turbid sapphire]

lol in fairness, I do too. but yyy if you want to farm PF thats easiest, specialy after mule nerf

[turbid sapphire]

would use overdogs. its an amp, so it affects pesti. listen to averageplayer-, his info has always been corrrect.

[olive phoenix]

isn't he average though :o

[turbid sapphire]

LOL, he's awesome shhhh

[olive phoenix]

ah okay okay ty!! ^^

does umbra's firerate makes my pestilence tick faster?

[turbid sapphire]

I have no idea. I don't use pestilence. Please ask people who use it. I use mine because someone I like uses it. Others know more.

I would imagine not. If I hazard a guess. The tick isn't based on your bullet speed. This is a guess based on the game

[olive phoenix]

Gotcha gotcha, thank you!!

[rugged stratus]

save the watch points for shd cal. FRD are really easy to farm from control points, along with level and blueprints if need.

[tiny totem]

is something wrong with lincoln memorial? i run into and there noone to fight and the door wont open and im not getting someone talking to be at the start of it either

[turbid sapphire]

set diffculty

[tiny totem]

that worked, ty

[turbid sapphire]

kinda.

[stoic flower]

New division player here, can i skip 1 and go straight to 2? Im trying to launch 1 but i keep getting an error code and have no idea how to fix it

[nocturne siren]

You can go straight to 2, and I've heard division 1 has been getting errors lately

[shell wraith]

servers are overloaded with survive fest, it's a bit of a pain

[nocturne siren]

The only thing you'll be missing from division 1 is just the lore is all. Watch NGN on YT for that if you need to

[stoic flower]

ohhh okay thank you

[empty moth]

what helmet is this?

[empty moth]

you...cant get it anymore..can you

[mellow trout]

nah

though with these limited bundles they usually get re released down the line if they make enough cash

[turbid sapphire]

I dont remember but I think it was a cash shop piece. if it was, itll likely come back at some point

Im still wating for the OG kelso outfit. its been mooonnnnths

[inner tendon]

#1380126780152614944 requests have helped gear return to the store faster in the past.
It's all about letting them know through the right channels.

[pearl pasture]

Does everyone just get the survive fest patch even if you don't play survival? What rewards does survival unlock? Feel like i missed a list somewhere...

[inner tendon]

@pearl pasture As with most things, #news-and-announcements has you covered.
https://ubi.li/SurviveFest-Rewards

[pearl pasture]

Thank you very much!!

[green frost]

So what's wrong with the true sons' turrets ? I feel like they are doing way too much dmg, I thought it had something to do with the new season's modifiers but it's happening when they are off too

[pearl pasture]

I think they just buffed the elite version quite a bit. Hits hard and shoots faster now. It has been the only thing my minion couldn't win against since it just shreds them.

[obsidian ibex]

is there any other named chest piece with perfect Glass cannon?

[cold pumice]

No

[obsidian ibex]

Damn that sucks, guess I'll settle for a ceska with glass cannon

[slim elk]

whatchu rockin?

[obsidian ibex]

Refactor with memento

[quick dome]

@turbid sapphire did you end up completing that heroic cd? curious to see the strats you used if you could link me or dm

[slim elk]

careful there, asking someone to write to your dms can trigger someone

[quick dome]

I dont see any rules against it and the only one that comes close is "This includes messaging any user on the server. Unsolicited promotion of any kind via Direct Message is also strictly forbidden." but I am asking for a dm rather than doing it myself

so I believe I'm in the right

[kind cove]

Where do you get the new snake helmet, the one time store bundle?

[cold pumice]

In most cases, PGC is worth running even without the synergy set bonus

[obsidian ibex]

Really? Hmmmm

[slim elk]

ohhhh now that you mention it I haven't tried Refactor yet

shit, I haven't tried most of the latest stuff

[obsidian ibex]

Helps with survivability and support, though I mostly solo so there's usually no one to support other then my companion

[slim elk]

our inner monologue is our companion

[obsidian ibex]

Plot twist: The companions aren't real, the mutiny isn't real

[slim elk]

life isn't real

[cold pumice]

Mostly, especially with skill focussed builds, since skills cant crit

[obsidian ibex]

fair point, I mean imagine if some skills can crit lmao

[turbid sapphire]

I can give you a full guide to it. To complete it in its entirety, you need very specific RNG rolls. Meaning that you have to have a very specific countdown. If you want to do it with actually completing it, you have to get the objectives that don't require anytime sink. They just use damage. Two examples of this are hack and war dogs. And the final objectives, that work well, is the shock floor one, and the steam pipes. Killing the first 4 hunters is probably the hardest, after that it's just whether or not you can get the 75% more damage directive. There's a lot of sets that can survive, I would say you need PFE. I use the set that I use to solo objectives. Because I know it can handle any objective inside of countdown. The time crunches much worse, you have about 15 minutes, to get to extract to finish two objectives and the final objective. After that you'll be granted an additional 5 minutes to leave.

[quick dome]

oh I dont need a guide

just curiosity is all

[turbid sapphire]

It's pretty straightforward. You just need something with extremely high damage, PFE, and you need the damage up directive. If you want to just finish it like I did, you really only have to survive until the extract. A lot of people said it wasn't possible, at all I did was show that it was. In terms of completing it though, you have to have the DPS objectives, some form of Pfe, have some understanding of how to complete each objective quickly. Such as spawn mechanics. And that's pretty much it. I'll put some stuff together, and make up perfect run. With the right obj roll.

[turbid sapphire]

What a weird response. to each their own I suppose. For those who don't already know, there is a setting in discord that says only friends can DM you. It's helpful, when people are triggered easily

[cold pumice]

Sounds like alot of math to me 😏

[storm bronze]

Can someone tell why I get melee'd by nothing when I kill an enemy and then walk near that dead enemy?

[quick dome]

you pissed off its ghost

[storm bronze]

True

[turbid sapphire]

You probably got staggered. Some enemies might have a weak point left over, that explodes after the fact

[cold pumice]

Could be a heavy gunner whose backpack you destroyed. Those flying bullets hurt

[storm bronze]

Probably that because I killed a cleaner and walk past him and got staggered

[turbid sapphire]

Lol, yeah cleaner backpacks go boom even after death

[storm bronze]

The funniest part is that it doesn't have explosion sounds or effects when he dies and staggers me lol

[turbid sapphire]

I personally feel like if cleaners were just removed from the game, nobody would miss them.

There was someone who said that sometimes they just burn cleaners/outcasts, and then just watch them die. I don't think anyone objected to their post lol

[turbid sapphire]

Gunner packs, and ammo boxes don't stagger. It would have to be explosive. The bullets only inflict damage

[subtle grove]

So, when do I start legacy manhunts? Do I do them after or before bfb?

Or just during WoNY?

[worldly fjord]

Divine intervention

[subtle grove]

Will survivors be free, or paid? If its paid will it be in the ultimate edition pack? (I.e the year 1 pass or something like that)

[inner tendon]

If it's paid, it will 100% not be included in the Ultimate Edition, as that's been available for a stupidly low price for over half a decade at this point.

I see it as likely paid, if it's a similar scale to div1's Survival.

It is described as a "new game mode", and so far in div2, all of those have been free.

[subtle grove]

Well... I wonder if they might EVER put out a new dlc or expansion and if they do, I guess they'll stop making the ultimate edition stupidly cheap

-# maybe recycle everything from heartlands for a new expansion?

[inner tendon]

Well we got Battle for Brooklyn not that long ago, and that did very well.
I would assume at least 1 more paid expansion before div3.

[subtle grove]

That's if, we EVER get a div3

[inner tendon]

It's being actively worked on.

Sorry that message didn't contain any random capslock.

[subtle grove]

I wonder how to even fix the castle or when to start the manhunts

[nimble spruce]

Story order wise, there's a couple of guides pinned, you'd want to start legacy manhunts after completing WONY, and BfB slots in between Parnell and the Manager.
The castle should fix itself when you reach level 40

[turbid sapphire]

ubi stated when they scrapped their last project they were going to use it as a base for div 3. homeland or something... anyway, likely all dlc or expansions past brooklyn will be paid. I specificaly spoke to ubi support, brooklyn was never ment to be included in previous bundles, so likely nothing else would either

[nimble spruce]

They way they're bigging up Survivors I entirely expect it to be a paid dlc.

[nocturne siren]

Wouldn't be far off the spectrum for them to do something like that

[turbid sapphire]

🤔 Im thinking of making a legit high dmg NB, Im not sure what itll be, but the new brand has been edging my subc for a hot minute

just a rough spit ball of the start. picaro holster, 3 piece striker, and the new brand. Ill play with picaro swap for salve, Im just not sold on the 50% mag.

also, 65% striker, vs 130% striker, vs brand chest....

with fast firerate, the chest has potential...

I might swap to hf.... but I dont see hf hitting striker chest... I know my hf dmg largly comes from memento being amped, so thats a thought and a half too (am showing this, so people can kinda see how you build without using math or calculators.)

[nocturne siren]

Important to note striker and hunters fury are two entirely different damage sources, as Strikers is TWD or WD and hunters fury is amplified weapon damage to marked enemies. Very very different

[subtle grove]

Are world tiers still a thing?

[nocturne siren]

No

[subtle grove]

Ah, so after i finish all of the invaded missions, and invaded bases over again, I will not proceed to another world tier?

[turbid sapphire]

its more the world diffcultly level

at end game, youll fight all the SH factions and then youll repeat as invaded

much faster. after that you get diffculty tiers, like normal-H

[nimble spruce]

You just keep gaining levels until level 40 instead of going up world tiers. At level 40 you can change world difficulty.

[subtle grove]

Ahh, okay, i'm nearing lvl 40, and with this 3x exp event going on, I could get it easily now

[nimble spruce]

Xp event only affects shd xp I believe, which is a new type of levelling you will unlock once you reach lvl 40 and claim your shd watch from the white house

[turbid sapphire]

sadly, hc out of luck

[subtle grove]

Ah. Well damn, anyways, is the coyote mask or memento good for a beginner striker build when i get to lvl 40 and I start to grind the endgame stuff for exotics?

[obsidian ibex]

Does Reformation work with Refactor healing?

[nimble spruce]

Yes, both are good options. Memento best when solo, for extra survivability. Coyotes best in groups and for extra dps.

[subtle grove]

Ah, okay, I will pick memento, as I don't have ps+ to do any matchmaking for group things

[cold pumice]

Strikers is also an amp

Its not additive TWD

[nocturne siren]

Thank you 🙏 couldn't fully remember if it was or not

It's why I didn't put my message in with confidence unlike others who do

[turbid sapphire]

so anyway, moving on from PA children. it seems the new brand offers backpack, chest and holster for crafting.. so.. I have to farm gear

[nocturne siren]

[turbid sapphire]

this should be fine

[nocturne siren]

Make sure you don't fail the objectives

[turbid sapphire]

need to fix world level, done with cosmetic farming

note to self.... golden bullet is less cool in retaL. got globaled in 2 shots from a golden bullet kill squad. ow also this is a thing I guess, no comp in retal? maybe no activate option after start?

[turbid sapphire]

here goes -_- I have medicore expectations. I think... 1m dmg per bullet. good fire rate. Im more interested in the stack speed without stackbroeker

[cold pumice]

Would deal more damage simply using Strikers backpack

[turbid sapphire]

it went well. at half striker, 1m dmg per bullet

Ill provide gameplay, Ill keep names, its a pain to edit them out and there was no communication. good group.

Ill be keeping this set actually. its a good blend, has good fire rate and survive. Ill test with hf later, but unlikely to be worth. chest makes too much a diff with M loss

so a real quick checklist how this was made with "minimal math" is, I use 1m dmg per bullet, as a static expectation. this is based on striker obl ceska with memento. Hitting 1m per bullet for 900+ fire rate imo is success. I knew backpack had nothing, so I went for RoF+striker chest. people dont go SC due to stack being a pain (high rof) since it hit high dmg, and high rof, this is a good build to me. chc hit 50% successfully, the EB offers relatively good stats, average skill curve for handling (gunner 10%, mod 10%, striker 15% WH) good crit dmg spread, and +20% AR dmg, and +15% (gunner) some survive and boosted clip size.

I refer to this as "stat stacking" basically as long as you have multiple stacks of X stat, the "%" doesnt really matter, within reason, over 10% usually. this is how you can build successfully without doing a bunch of math. or at least imo

[turbid sapphire]

Quick disclaimer. Eagle bearer and Elmo have near identical mods. Yes Elmo would be quite effective. I just don't use it so I use Eb

[cold pumice]

Yes, difficulty affects retal blueprint drops

[rugged stratus]

im not sure the percentages. i always run retal on heroic. it wasnt a hard drop tho, i got it in like 2 runs, a team mate got his on the 3rd.

[left plinth]

how do i unlock Master difficulty for these Legacy Manhunts?

[spare atlas]

Are 100 skill mod slots not enough to have one of each? I have auto deconstruct activated but I'm at 80/100 already and some barely have 2 😬

[rugged stratus]

Your gear mods also are included in that and duplicate gear mods won't auto decon.

You want at least 3 of all the weapon damage based /skill based mods. Something like pfe/crit damage i would say keep 6 since some builds utilize improvised gear.
Resist mods are usually 3 kept, bleed/dirsupt/pulse resist you might keep 6 if doing anything with improvised gear, similar to pfe

[rugged stratus]

Nice. So yeah, make sure to grab any kill squads . I know when I was farming that bp we deliberately went slow hoping we may get another kill squad

[spare atlas]

Yea I know, I just mean if the 100 slots are enough for all the skill mods there are?

[rugged stratus]

Should be yeah, I usually ride around 60-80.
You may have some smart cover mods building up but not accessible if you dont have the skill unlocked. Can see them in the vendor when selling

[spare atlas]

Got all the extra skills unlocked, should be good on that then, thx

I still don't understand having 2 skill mods that do exactly the same and go in the exact same slot but just have different names, wish they would cull those 😅

[bold tiger]

retaliations

possibly priority objectives, countdown and buying exotic caches in between runs

[spare atlas]

Oh can you "lure" out more kill squads? I've always just been getting one every time on the way to the next checkpoint after conquering one (talking solo) and thought that's the whole mechanic 😬

[bold tiger]

sometimes i've gotten 2 between runs from 1 CP to the next. if we're talking more than 2

[spare atlas]

Ah interesting, gonna try and slow down a bit next time

[turbid sapphire]

Brother. Wut a waste of time. Anyway, the 30 clip stack broker is a neat add on for striker chest

Also division is a million times hard on steam deck with T-Mobile hotspot fffft

[rugged stratus]

Its a holdover from the old system. If you have duplicates like that youll need to manual decon

[spare atlas]

Is there an option to link an Apparel loadout to a gear lodout?

[left ravine]

Sadly not

[spare atlas]

Aww ok ty

[left ravine]

Transmogs and dye yes, apparel no

[nimble spruce]

It's only available on some manhunt missions (Parnell and later ones) and you just have to complete the mission once on any other difficulty to unlock Master.

[left plinth]

It seems I cant skip straight to Kelso for the backpack I gotta complete all the previous ones

[wispy merlin]

i mean... you can

[left plinth]

It forces me into a different manhunt when I chose Kelso

[wispy merlin]

there are 2 manhunts there, keep toggling

[nimble spruce]

It's probably bugged because there's two different manhunt modes

Open mission options and look for the 'toggle mission mode' option

[wispy merlin]

yeah it's wonky, iirc you have to toggle it to jupiter first and then to kelso, it won't work in one go

[left plinth]

😭

Ill try next time since I wasted a straight 5min for nothing

[wispy merlin]

welcome to Tom Clancy's The Division 2

[steep void]

Best strategy for toggle is fast travel to mission first then toggle form there instead of map where things gets bug

[turbid sapphire]

-snip- I scrolled and noticed @left ravine redefined their answer

[delicate tartan]

When do we get backpack from colaboations?

[cold pumice]

When you finish the 7 projects.

[azure spire]

hi, i’m quite new to td2. I got the survival fest patch, but i can’t see no changes in the game. Should i do something to get survival challenges ?
