[somber pumice]

got one of these boyos out of a legacy season cache how rare are these?

[spare atlas]

The other rewards are for playing Survival in Division 1, it's a crossgame event

[azure spire]

ok, thanks

[rugged stratus]

Rare they only drop dark zone, and legacy cache. Closest you can get to targetting these are when gear types are targetted in dz.
That being said, it isnt a great set

[somber pumice]

it's time for the meme build, at least the ability looks rather silly

[rugged stratus]

Do it 🔥

[supple bane]

are elite purple or gold health?

[coarse moth]

Nearest location that has no HUH?!
Are you telling me Hunters are gonna be hiding in the corners waiting for me?!

I'd like to NOT have an axe in my face thank you very much!

[muted ether]

gold

purple are veterans

[nimble spruce]

That's a countdown specific tip I believe

[crystal heath]

is id2 still good

[coarse moth]

that's a bit stupid how it's just there without specifying so.
I mean, nice to know, but also god that's weird just randomly seeing.

[nimble spruce]

Yeah there's a bunch of countdown specific tips that show up but don't specify that's what they're about, definitely a source of confusion to new players

[inner tendon]

The tips are kinda just wherever, and IIRC some are out of date.
the duct-tape in div2 is very well hidden, but you learn to love what you can see.

[coarse moth]

I've got almost 300 hours and that confused even me

[nimble spruce]

The one about heroic level loot is the one I always spot that's out of date and countdown specific

[coarse moth]

TD3 better be a lot better than TD2 if devs are focusing so much on 3 than these kinda things are being left in.

[timid vessel]

is there a way to transfer expertise lvl from 1 gun to another that's the same? I have a replica that's lvl 30 expertise, received the same non-rep gun, would like to transfer the lvl to the non-rep gun.

[inner tendon]

@timid vessel Nope, it's per specific gun.

There's no difference between a replica and regular version of a gun btw, they have identical stats, as long as the rest of the name is the same.

[timid vessel]

yeah, i know I just don't like seeing the 'replica' wording.

[inner tendon]

Just take it as a teaching moment if you really don't want to keep using that version of the gun.
Luckily the costs were reduced a good while back, so it's not as bad as it once was.

[toxic pecan]

is dark winter still worth using?

[strange harbor]

SMG-9 with killer outperforms it

[snow cargo]

Vector Vector 9mm out performs it in all 3
SMG9 is close behind on burst but wins in both mag and Sustain

With killer

[snow cargo]

UH? They’re totally different teams.

[coarse moth]

oh that's true

well guess we'll see which team is better then

[snow cargo]

I mean one team is like less than 10 the other is hiring for a new game......

[strange harbor]

SMG9 still wins more categories then

[nocturne siren]

As local said, it's a PVP set. It's the rarest gearset in the game. They can only be farmed out of Season 1 caches (very old, it was during the legacy manhunt rerun), DZ Proficiency caches, Conflict caches and Legacy caches (global events). If you can manage to throw together a mostly red crit build with it, it does honestly work. It's just not meant for PvE. It's exclusively a PVP set

[little citrus]

Is the only way to get the bittersweet to grind the season pass?

or can I get it some other way

[slim elk]

yes

[little citrus]

Should I just do priority objectives then?

[rugged stratus]

We need to get back to putting this stuff under builds as its build specific. We all been slipping a bit i think 🍻

It is for asking help and discussion about builds

I gotta do the same, I get out of channel way too much

Especially when mortar comes up

[left ravine]

Does yours also have crappy rolls? 😄

[little citrus]

?

[pseudo tundra]

if you got the gun with good rolls on it

[left plinth]

how do i switch this to Kelso it keeps giving me Jupiter

got it ty

[pseudo tundra]

#lfg-pc

[hidden vector]

I extracted 5 time on survival why I didnt got pesti skin

[inner tendon]

@hidden vector Make sure you check your div2 character, but it's likely going to be delivered once the event is over.

[hidden vector]

Ah okayy tyyy

[south moth]

Can you still get the Houndsman outfit?

[slim elk]

no, unless it comes out in the store

[vale widget]

Is the 1886 blueprint a random drop?

[strange harbor]

IIRC, there's no blueprint for that

[leaden crag]

So I’m sure this has already been asked and answered but .. with the companions … it says recruit 10 for the full buff from recruiting 10 of each type … this kinda sucks cause I found one with passives I like … but I’m at 4/10.. I’m guessing you don’t store them anywhere so basically I have to just wait til I find one like this again ?

[muted lance]

I like the MK14, but can you tell me what kind of gun this is?

[worldly fjord]

Nope, unfortunately you gotta find those perks again

[leaden crag]

Damn that sucks thanks tho

[pseudo tundra]

M1 classic

[keen pelican]

Has anybody gotten the Pestilence skin after completing 5 extractions in TD1 Survival?

[pseudo tundra]

read the announcement again

it's after the event you will get it

[lime crypt]

the division 1 is now on maintenance?

[spare atlas]

Has been for around 7-8 years

[lime crypt]

I was a fool to expect a proper answer

[nocturne siren]

Servers are likely getting an influx of players due to the event

[spare atlas]

Oh my bad, I thought maintenance as in maintenance mode

[nocturne siren]

Why not sicko mode 👹

[rugged stratus]

technically, if you find one with talents you like, you can bounce to another safehouse then back to original safehouse and keep recruiting the same one to hit your 10/10. you wont see a talent dialog, but if you hold the recruit button itll recruit them and you will preserve the desired talents.

[nocturne siren]

Pokemon: gotta catch em all!

[rugged stratus]

no doubt

pay attention to what your doing ig. you get like 3-6times more mats per point, so not sure what the complaint is

dont mindlessly spend and youll not have issues with cap

so the complaint is you get too much mats per point... got it

[pseudo tundra]

they are aware some regions are having login issues

[rugged stratus]

if you did as much in game as you did typing i bet you would have max mats without even needing to spend points...😎

[oak gazelle]

would've been great

[waxen saddle]

Hello! I am new to the game and have been trying to get an exotic weapon from a blueprint that requires the D50 pistol. Does anyone know where to get those or if anyone could drop one?

[spare atlas]

You mean where to get the normal D50?

[waxen saddle]

Yes, I need the golden one D50

[pseudo tundra]

try to farm anywhere that has pistols as targetted loot

[spare atlas]

It's in the general loot pool, best bet is to do activities with pistol targeted loot

[waxen saddle]

I'm level 40 and already have around 50h and never got one. There is no way to get like a guaranteed one?

[pseudo tundra]

it's a regular drop, no magic to required to get one

do countdown on challenging with pistols as targetted loot

one or two runs on matchmaking should get you what you need

[waxen saddle]

Is countdown better than Summit? I've been doing that

[spare atlas]

Countdown is much more loot per time invested

Retaliations are also good if you can do them easily yet

[pseudo tundra]

for volume of loot countdown is better

[waxen saddle]

okay, I will try; but challenging is still a bit hard for me.😂

Thanks! 😄

[cedar schooner]

If you do retaliations in a 4 man I'd say it's about even, loot drops seem lower doing them solo though.

Which I think is typical of most content

[pseudo tundra]

well countdown has easy matchmaking compared to retal

[cold pumice]

Their question was answered.

They were asking how to get the D50 since it's required to make the liberty pistol

[storm bronze]

Someone actually did answer his question tho...

[mellow trout]

Regulus specifically requires a magnum replica, which needs to be crafted

[cedar schooner]

The revolver that's used for regulus literally NEEDS to be crafted

[clever fjord]

Trust me it's true and i knew it the hard way

[plucky hawk]

It doesn't. It says replica but it doesn't actually matter

[clever fjord]

Yes it does

[cedar schooner]

Oh

[plucky hawk]

It did at one point but was changed awhile ago

[mellow trout]

Bruh

[clever fjord]

As of when because when i crafted my reg was last season

[cedar schooner]

That's blessed

[plucky hawk]

Oh really.... Guess the spaghetti code changed it back at some point lol

[cold pumice]

The point is their question was answered comprehensively....and Car answered a question that quite literally wasnt asked

[plucky hawk]

I think we all understand at this point all we can do is just ignore car and pretend he's not there. He's just trolling for attention

[oblique fjord]

Please do not the car

[waxen saddle]

I'm trying to craft the exotic weapon that requires the D50. Liberty pistol I think?

[cedar schooner]

Oh no

[cold pumice]

I prefer to give them the answer to the question that was asked, and not be deliberately combative with everyone else.

[delicate tartan]

Do we not get images about the christmas event rewards, what we can exspect, since its tuesday, its soon weekend so

[flint forge]

How do u get the overdog gloves?

[delicate tartan]

Exotic caches

[spare atlas]

General loot pool, so can drop anywhere, including exotic caches (can try to farm gloves as targeted loot to improve chances)

It's been eluding me as well so far 😅

[cold pumice]

Just do Hyena Retaliations and get the blueprint to craft them

[spare atlas]

Oh I forgot, let me see if I accidentally alredy got it

🤦‍♂️ Thanks for reminding me lol, I keep forgetting about the exp BPs from Retal, already have it sitting here

For the Tinkerer I have to do the manager climax mission right? Always confuses me that it doesn't show in rewards

[cold pumice]

Yes. Exotics from manhunt finales are exclusive to that mission, they are never added to the general loot pool

[valid bronze]

Facts don't change everyday in division 2 though, they change when a new title update comes out🤣

[olive phoenix]

You hid the failure screen at the end (by not showing it) because it shows a red highlight saying "Mission failed" or something like that in the top left (since you failed 2/3 objectives)
I mean sure, you finished it, you survived it. But you didn't clear/win it.

Point is its fine, we all have our opinions, but straight up trying to make a point while faking it is just... yeah

[proven rock]

for a scout i need to get a supply drop in west end, but none are spawining, what can i do without joining another person?

[olive phoenix]

Its pretty rare, they're like a green crate with a parachute on top. They are in the open world but one of the rarer activities. Best you can do without joining someone is wait for one to happen, sadly.

[proven rock]

ah alr, thanks

[olive phoenix]

Although note there has to be friendly activities for it to be there I believe? (Like friendly control points)
But thats just my assumption from experience

[proven rock]

as in i need the control points surrounding it?

[olive phoenix]

Yeah like green control points. I don't think its confirmed anywhere, but from my experience everytime I saw a supply drop it was around green control points I had
Could just be coincidence

[proven rock]

that makes sense, i'll get to it then

[worldly fjord]

Has skillz dropped an arm patch code yet?

[olive phoenix]

Mhm gl!

[olive phoenix]

I don't think so but let me check something

[worldly fjord]

Its so stupid making people wait like 3 days for a code. I know he's on some kind of a business trip but he doesn't even have a minute to spare?

[nocturne siren]

Not yet so far. Last I heard, was to be announced. DJ Tickle's code had an error but he fixed it from what I heard

[olive phoenix]

Yeah there's 2 codes already so I tried to modify already existing code like this NTH-BUT-ARM-PCH
But it didnt work sadly XDD (they both are a cut of the name then "-ARM-PCH")
Actually nevermind i just checked, dj tickle's one doesnt end like that

oh well, was worth a shot

[olive phoenix]

Its not about a trip tbh, i mean he had time to reply to a random comment 42 mins ago. Maybe he has a problem with the code or something

[eager inlet]

you still haven't shown us your successful solo Heroic CD run tho... I'm just saying that if it's so easy then surely you can show us how easy it is 🙂

[cold pumice]

And even then. NBB is still bad

[worldly fjord]

Funnily enough, DJ's code worked for me but GCRock's code gives an error

[left plinth]

What's this yellow icon?

[cold pumice]

Hardcore character

As Dolph Lundgren said: "If he dies, he dies"

[nocturne siren]

Hardcore agent. I see him around frequently

He's always got armor strikers on to prevent death

[left plinth]

So he's basically playing Minecraft Hard mode?

[cold pumice]

If he dies, its permanent

[olive phoenix]

Pretty much. You can down but if you fully die you can only delete your character

[slim elk]

just like life, you only live once

[left plinth]

Okay and what's the benefit from his self torture?

[slim elk]

uhhh basically nothing lol
you just feel the game more challenging ig?

[olive phoenix]

a yolo cap, a few commendations (like doing the first raid on hardcore) and self gratification ig?
thats about it
(you literally get a cap with yolo written on it)

[cold pumice]

Challenge

[slim elk]

lmaooo I want that thing

[left plinth]

Self torture and self accomplishment got it

[olive phoenix]

You get it when reaching level 2 so tbh its easy to get (at least you did when they released the mode)

[cold pumice]

It provides a very different style of play.

You cant just gung ho and splat everything.

Its more tactical and requires serious game knowledge

[olive phoenix]

Yeah even people who do challenge runs on hardcore run much safer builds because you can lose 10's if not 100's of hours in just seconds

[left plinth]

What about the stuff that character has on when they dies?

[olive phoenix]

You lose it all, but you keep stash

[cold pumice]

Stash is shared between HC characters but your inventory is lost

[olive phoenix]

stash becomes like a save for the next character kinda

[left plinth]

Damn 💀

[cold pumice]

SHD levels are shared too

[plucky hawk]

Your considering running out of time and extracting a "completion"... No one thinks that's hard, it's just that noone sees timing out as a "completion"

🧌

[left ravine]

What

[cold pumice]

Math is never wrong.

Math is fact.

Math says NBB is the worst in slot for PvE. Literally, its bottom in every possible area of damage calculation

[valid bronze]

Math doesn't change on a daily basis, and the game definitely doesn't

[cold pumice]

When new equipment is released, that is tested, using the same math.

That math time and time again PROVES that to be a fact.

[eager inlet]

running through it and extracting a failed objective is easy af. But you said it was easy to complete it solo so I would like to see an actual completed from you.

[spare atlas]

Every day the same 🥴

[eager inlet]

did you complete it?

[cold pumice]

Except it wasnt.

You failed the mission, thats not completing it.

[slim elk]

and will keep on going forever for attention

[valid bronze]

Running out the timer is not a successful completion🤣

I could stand there for 15 min and then say "look guys I did it!"

[left ravine]

Lmao

[cold pumice]

I even bowed and said that getting to the extraction, even with only one objective completed was somewhat impressive.

But that doesnt change the fact that completing an activity requires you to "pass" the activity also.

[slim elk]

already leaving? awww what a shame

[plucky hawk]

Don't worry, they will come back even when they claim not to.

[valid bronze]

"Objective mission"

[plucky hawk]

You do this for attention

[cold pumice]

But you do. You LITERALLY want people to agree with your version of maths.

And for saying you prefer people to work together you are ACTIVELY combative with everyone in this server

[left ravine]

Back to ignore list they go

[slim elk]

he should never come out of it tbh

[left ravine]

I was curious because they seemed to cause some ruckus haha

[valid bronze]

Dawg you come in randomly, make super obscure claims. Then don't back them up, and double down until someone's proves you wrong. Then say "it's for the new players to see there's alternative" but it's really just for you to have attention focused on you becuase you can't accept the standards everyone else has.

When you show them you don't agree with no actual evidence*

[plucky hawk]

"meta" = knowledgeable

[cold pumice]

Facts are objective, when they are being presented your opinion on them is not relevant.

You honestly sound like a person who would argue that the sky is purple for the sake of being contrarian

[valid bronze]

People aren't going to accept dmg numbers you pulled from the range as evidence

[slim elk]

"proof"

[plucky hawk]

There's purple in the rainbow, therefore the sky is purple.

Checkmate meta player

[valid bronze]

Colors are subjective since it's just light reflecting off an object, you probably don't even care about other people's choice of color

The colors aren't even real

[cold pumice]

Have you ever thought that when there are 6/7 people telling you that you're wrong. And using facts, math and data to prove that you're wrong....that maybe, you're just....wrong.

[valid bronze]

I find colors a completely different way and you can't accept it becuase it's not your way (not because it's wrong)

[cold pumice]

I'm colourblind so my purple is your orange....therefore grass is blue and earth is flat.

I win.

NBB is viable.

[plucky hawk]

Soft cap on crit

[cold pumice]

You're not using it for PvP. Leave pvp away from it.

[eager inlet]

I don't even want to know what his take on a pvp hazpro build is...

[cold pumice]

There is no build in PvE that is not INSTANTLY buffed by removing NBB. That is a fact.

[valid bronze]

Anything is viable in PvP, I've seen players get manhunt with a full purple loadout

No one has to assume anything

[pastel grail]

What is probably the fastest way to get your targeted loot?

[cold pumice]

Countdown

[valid bronze]

I can put your build into a spreadsheet and get exact numbers

[slim elk]

It's pure rng, you can't push it
Countdown and Retaliations are good for TL farming

[cold pumice]

He won't like them.

Therefore, Frogs are actually mammals

[eager inlet]

okay show your set and I'll do my best to prove there's a better way of doing it.

[cold pumice]

There is. Just remove the NBB and put Strikers backpack on

Using NBB over strikers backpack is just denying logic

[valid bronze]

^ right here this was wrong

[pastel grail]

Ah I see, did asked earlier about the targeted loot and knew it was probably going to be count down

[valid bronze]

There is more variables than damage and rof

[cold pumice]

Irrelevant to the output DPS.

You lose a 25% damage amp by not using Strikers BP.

[slim elk]

yup, drop rates are the same but the amount of enemies makes it seem that they're higher

[valid bronze]

Magsize doesn't affect burst

Yea don't see that message anywhere

[eager inlet]

did someone just use the word "viable"? 😄 pls tell me youtube links are allowed in here

[valid bronze]

Ah so 4 hours ago

Completely different conversation than the one we are having now

[cold pumice]

Still relevant in that his argument is that NBB is usable over other things.

There is literally spreadsheets of information about why it isnt, but he doesnt listen.

[eager inlet]

anything can be "viable" : https://youtu.be/bNtU3BIEkhM?si=dsN4541n-lylFiu1

[valid bronze]

Viable build for 4 directives

The point isn't that about viability, it's about being optimal

Anything is viable in this game with the right skill level

We can start talking about the crit soft cap again

[cold pumice]

It is concrete. Math is literally set in stone around the world.

Math says NBB is the lowest of all backpacks for DPS.

[eager inlet]

meta is meta for a reason. Arguing that your way is better than the proven meta is just stupid especially when you can't provide any actual proof of it being better.

[plucky hawk]

Imo "meta" is just as dumb if a term as "viable"

Both have such a wide definition to different people they become useless terms

[eager inlet]

honestly fair

[valid bronze]

What's the build, I go on break in 5 min

[storm bronze]

What do you guys think I should be doing after getting builds I want? I'm not entirely sure so I'm asking here for advices

[cold pumice]

Daily projects first, priority objectives, what ever you want

[storm bronze]

I think the last one is just to quit the game, I don't have any dlcs

[pseudo tundra]

check content you havent done, descent, DZ, legacy manhunts, otherwise just kick back and come back next week when christmas event starts

[storm bronze]

How many floors does descent have though?

[slim elk]

yes. /j

[eager inlet]

infinite

[cold pumice]

Descent is "loops".

Its infinite

[storm bronze]

[cold pumice]

Floors are Summit, which has 100 floors.

[storm bronze]

Oh I see

[pseudo tundra]

descent is a bit of a roguelike mode, start with nothing and get new things every loop

[storm bronze]

Atleast I get skins from descent so I might as well get those after or before getting builds for pve/pvp

[storm bronze]

Yeah I played it before, just didn't get past 2nd loop

[pseudo tundra]

you can get reconstructed caches that have named items blueprints that are very valuable in general

well like most game modes, it's not for everyone

since it plays very differently

[cold pumice]

I look as Descent as like a "Hardcore Introduction"

Die and you lose everything

[deft turret]

I haven't played in a while because of school, can someone please explain to my slow head what is going on and why he's with me😭🙏

[storm bronze]

He's your friend for the current event or season

[cold pumice]

New season modifier, he's your friend who will help you kill enemies. WHen he remembers where his gun is and which way he should be facing

You direct him, using the Dpad up button as you do to activate any seasonal modifier

You can direct him to attack and enemy, take cover, or use his special (assault is an RPG) by holding the Dpad up

[fiery zenith]

is there a lot of fps stuttering in dv2 now days ?? i can't think of it has been this bad for a long time, im on PC.

[strange harbor]

No, there isn't

[fiery zenith]

danm, i hate track down stuttreing issues, i have some wierd load/stuttering when i enter rooms and some areas on the map.

[storm bronze]

Is there any way to change color of my skins or skin parts?

[royal briar]

Can I still loot the Master Exotic of the Climax Mission of a previous 2.0 Season on a lower difficulty, even if said 2.0 Season has passed?

[pseudo tundra]

you can get the exotic, but it's RNG drop

while master is a guaranteed on the first clear

[rugged stratus]

usable, yes... worth using, no. it falls right in there with its brother ninja bike knee, and cousins imperial dynasty and rugged gauntlets...
unfortunately what you would 'like someone to say' is kinda irrelevant, one is going to say what they want. its perfectly fine to like some niche item because it works for you, but dont expect anyone to agree, especially when the facts dont support that viewpoint.

[cold pumice]

Facts are interchangeable

[rugged stratus]

hold on

[tribal hemlock]

interchangeable fax:
1+2=3
2+1=3

[slim elk]

why did I see that I got @?

[cold pumice]

Seriously, facts change daily. So does maths. Look it up.

[tribal hemlock]

i just learned this! there's an inbox button in the top right of discord

[cold pumice]

Someone tagged you, then deleted it, or it got deleted

[rugged stratus]

its irrelevant now. carry on

[slim elk]

ion see nothing recent there lol
I'm being genuine, idk who that was

[cold pumice]

Oooh Matron

[royal briar]

Thanks for the info.

[proven rock]

I thought true sons and BT weren't allied anymore?

How come there are sharing a random control point?

[slim elk]

they're waiting for the grill to be ready

[proven rock]

One of my friends says there having a party, sounds ab right

[gleaming wigeon]

The 4 man squads that attack control points do they spawn from enemy control points and strongholds only? 🤔

[flint pawn]

Was anyone able to download the Fan Kit for this season? If so can anyone forward it to me please. Much appreciated.

[flint pawn]

Ah no worries found it 🙂

[supple bane]

~~is confuse and disorient the same thing? 🤔 ~~

yes

[tacit hare]

How can I unlock this?

[pseudo tundra]

did you finish campaign?

[bold tiger]

as it indicates there. semi fastest is setting world difficulty to challening. this sets each control point to level 3

[shrewd sonnet]

could anyone plz tell me why i dont have retaliation tab next to bounties in big map in D.C?

[bold tiger]

you level 40?

[shrewd sonnet]

yes

maybe we could join a vc and i share my screen so u could see

been looking it up and nothing
i did a project that said it would give me 100% outcast aggregation or something thought that may unlock the tab but nope

[pseudo tundra]

can you post a screenshot of your map?

[slim elk]

no VCs here btw

[bold tiger]

maybe they meant a direct discord call to share their video kind of deal

[rugged stratus]

Yeah just snipping tool and paste here

[pseudo tundra]

can global event block it?

[shrewd sonnet]

im new so i have no idea

[bold tiger]

no GE doesn't do anything

[slim elk]

could be but idrk

that's new, have you tried relogging and/or restarting?

[bold tiger]

only thing comes to mind is letting us see your progression

[shrewd sonnet]

well yea ofc

[shrewd sonnet]

where exactly?

[bold tiger]

like you're a fresh 40 but you haven't completed all the progress stuff. think 1 mission in particular, don't recall what it is, but it should unlock most things in the game

[solid igloo]

How rough and/or confusing of a time am I in for if I come back after not playing for a good few years?

[pseudo tundra]

depends how many years

was the new york expansion already out?

[solid igloo]

Yeah for NY. I'm seeing if the launcher has a last played date

[bold tiger]

for instance it seems you got both capital building and zoo as invaded

[slim elk]

I never encountered issues when I got to PC, when I boosted I immediately saw Retal in my map

[solid igloo]

Last played Dec 3 2022

[shrewd sonnet]

hmm idk what that means

[pseudo tundra]

then the big change you are missing is the new seasonal format with modifiers they are doing

[bold tiger]

back before wony released we got a mission of sorts where we had to do 3 strongholds that gets invaded by Black Tusk. District Union Arena, Capital Building and Roosevelt Island

[pseudo tundra]

some game modes perhaps

currently we can have NPCs alongside us in this season

[solid igloo]

I saw something about getting companions in the new season?

[shrewd sonnet]

i didnt boost i had an old level 30 char so i just played on that but when i say old only missions i did was some of not all main missions in dc

[pseudo tundra]

true sons are doing mutiny so some of them are recruitable

[pseudo tundra]

you are lv 30 or 40?

[bold tiger]

they're 40 by their map picture

[solid igloo]

I figure I'll roll a new character for the sake of slow-rolling my way back into it, but of course I still have a stash full of level 40 gear waiting for me

[bold tiger]

btw: welcome back

[solid igloo]

and maybe see if I can find some sort of unnecessarily-long lore video to get caught up on the story across the missed seasons

[bold tiger]

my suspision is BLinkblade is in the middle of the black tusk invasion missions

[shrewd sonnet]

is there a way to tell?

[bold tiger]

see how i have my mouse over Zoo and it's showing me the invaded missions? @shrewd sonnet

[solid igloo]

ok looks like about 15-20 minutes for the install. I love how much better internet service has gotten over the years

[bold tiger]

my map is what everyone is running currently.
you got that same icon on capitol building too which i don't have so, my suspicion is you need to complete that mission for black tuck invasions so you get current with everyone and it might show retaliations on your map

[bold tiger]

i hear some places it's still pretty terrible. not going to mention any countries 🤐

[shrewd sonnet]

ok i'll try that

[solid igloo]

so any recommendations for lore videos?

[bold tiger]

NGN is your resident lore youtuber

[solid igloo]

hold up waht's this "The Division 3" vid from a month ago? Did I miss a new installment being announced?

[pseudo tundra]

its more that exists on paper

[solid igloo]

line item in a shareholder report type stuff?

[bold tiger]

div 3 is something new they're working on, but it's years away still

forget which video i've watched recently but someone mentioned that maybe the companion stuff we're playing now might be like a beta for the next iteration of division sort of deal. supposedly they did it in div 1 and brought something to div 2 sort of deal

[tribal hemlock]

oh god

i hope they're wrong lmao

[solid igloo]

gonna assume this "full story" video from earlier this year that's 4+ hours long covers everything up to when it was released and then I"ll just need to watch the stuff released later to be fully caught up

[tribal hemlock]

yea just sort by latest and start w/ the latest full story vid

[solid igloo]

I sometimes still get all "what might have been" about the whole mobile app drone operator thing from the early TD1 showcases

[tribal hemlock]

oh yea that was scrapped very early on

interesting idea but not very practical

[solid igloo]

just noticed battle for brooklyn's a paid dlc is it included in Ubi+?

[nocturne siren]

Pretty sure, yes

[solid igloo]

looks like yeah and also if I buy it before my sub expires It's only $12 anyway

(They offered a year for about $100 in like Feb/Mar so I got that for AC Shadows instead of buying it outright for $120 since I figured I'd be done with it by the time it's up)

[shell wraith]

chances of Quickstep being in the lootpool for Krampus event?

[olive phoenix]

Pretty likely imo considering the past events have had most limited items in the pool

I wouldn't be surprised if its like the mini warhounds (nothing confirmed, just my assumption)

[shell wraith]

i'm hoping so. I used my last houndsman bounty today trying to get people the pistol and lots of people still want it

[olive phoenix]

I mean if I recall from the email thing it was said Krampus and his minions will roam the streets. Sound very similar to the mini warhounds/the loot goblins dropping limited items from previous events. I'd assume so

I see it in a way where it would be weird to give people the possibility to get items in all those past events but remove it all of a sudden, so I think it's a safe-ish bet (or a really stupid decision of them if not)

[solid igloo]

oh right I forgot about the shader compilation time

[nocturne siren]

Post in #lfg-pc , people still hold the bounties. They can start the bounty, and then leave the group. You'll be in their instance and it won't eat their bounty

Just keep in mind, if you fail it, they'll need to repeat the method

And if you get the pistol to drop from the cache, it'll drop with the lowest stat % (Satan roll, the joke was)

[shell wraith]

i have the pistol, and one for each of my alts. i was just trying to spread the love

[inner tendon]

I should use some of mine, have like 16 saved up.

[nocturne siren]

I completely misread your post 💀 I really need sleep

[solid igloo]

Does the firefly still kill itself on pillars constantly before it can do anything?

[civic junco]

Should I claim my Journey rewards right now or hold off until end of season for stretch goals?

[left ravine]

Depends if you want something from that event or not

And if you want to fully use your companion or keep it disabled for stat benefits

[tranquil flame]

Hi guys, is there a way of getting Handbasket at this stage of the season? Or the only possible way is to hope it to he included into Strech goals? Ty

[bold tiger]

think stretch goals or if they happen to turn on the loot goblin

[pseudo tundra]

it might drop next week on christmas event

[left plinth]

Are cosmetics bundle in the store returning completely random?

[lime crypt]

The True son's Engineer's turret is strangely strong.is it bugs?

[pseudo tundra]

known issue since season release

[left ravine]

It's usually randomized, yeah. But they drifted a little bit from the usual, maybe they'll make more changes. Who knows.

[inner tendon]

As far as we can tell, it's based on a mix of randomness, and what's popular.
So go talk up a bundle you love down in #1380126780152614944 and it's more likely to return quicker.

[civic junco]

Do I need to sub to the offtopic channel? Where is it?

[inner tendon]

here ya go https://discord.gg/thedivision

[civic junco]

Invalid invite

lol

[inner tendon]

That tracks.

[bold tiger]

OHHHHHH!

[slim elk]

LOL

[civic junco]

Ruben hates me

I think it was my hate of trump that got me banned from there

[inner tendon]

Bringing up political conversations on a server about a game is a good way to get banned, regardless of who you support.

We discourage it here too.

[civic junco]

I know

Why I never mention it

I have been good about that as long as others have because games and politics are a bad mix

Like I said, children fight adults learn and move in more distinct ways.

[inner tendon]

Okay back to the div questions now.

[civic junco]

I love that emote

Party parrot is fun

[bold tiger]

@cold pumice think they fixed the issue?

[cold pumice]

No idea, nothing in announcements

[storm bronze]

There is another issue involving crashing every 5 minutes or so

here the answer

[subtle grove]

How do I recolor vanity items?
(I.e hunter masks that are in the store, or vests?)

[shrewd sonnet]

is there a maintenance going on eu servers?
getting mike 01 errors all of a sudden

[left ravine]

I don't think you can

[hot ferry]

trying to get scorpio blueprint and the obtainment is 'defending territories from hyenas' would that be like defending a control point from their counter attack?

[cold pumice]

No, its retaliations.

Once you annoy the Hyenas enough they will attempt to retake all control points in one area. You will have a time limit to take them back

[cold pumice]

Here are the drop rates, based on difficulty.

These are awarded directly on completion of the action, no need to pick them up

Each faction has several blueprints associated with them, so you might not get it first try

[nimble zenith]

Can any pve player explain to me how do you get this mission non-invaded? Thank you

[cold pumice]

Open mission options, change mission type

[nimble zenith]

All invaded

[cold pumice]

Go to the mission and do it from the entrance

[hot ferry]

o i see
tyyy

[nimble zenith]

I was at the entrance. Invaded means i cant matchmake?

Sadly the time trial (for challenge project) doesnt work if its invaded. How to get it non-invaded?

[cold pumice]

You can mm for invaded yes.

But the button prompts are at the bottom. I believe you hold Y on xbox to open the mission settings

[nimble zenith]

Ooh yeah, Y worked. Ty

[cold pumice]

No problem

If it ever doesnt work, just complete it on invaded and that will change it back

[storm bronze]

How do I use emotes in game?

[left ravine]

Check your keybinds

[undone sail]

My division 2 download stuck at 99% and my disk usage show 0. I install and uninstall the steam, changed the steam download region. Cleared download cache. Reinstall windows, Also tried to look up on windows firewall. Nothing worked. As you can see my division 2 stuck at 99% and 0 use of disk. can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

everything else work fine, I can copy paste into my drive it worked, I can download any files to the drive work, Division 1 also working.

[subtle grove]

When does retal get unlocked? I'm lvl 38 and I haven't unlocked it yet

[nocturne siren]

Level 40

[subtle grove]

Ah, alright, btw can I recolor vanity items like a vanity vest or no?

[nocturne siren]

Once you hit level 40 you'll be rewarded the SHD watch, which you'll travel to the quartermaster at the base of ops to receive. Then you start the wonderful grind to SHD 1000. And most vanity items im pretty sure can be customized, yes

[left ravine]

#ask-td2-community message

You can dye premium backpacks for instance but you cannot dye hunter masks, premium item vests I don't think either

You can dye transmogs however

Regular gear

[fiery zenith]

hi,, some dude on the PC version show me a keybind to toggle invaded mission's when i am at the mission replay screen, what keys is that ?

it was something like shift+G something

[somber pumice]

Just G

Toggle the replay, then hold G and it’ll switch between the mode

[fiery zenith]

he show me a 3 key to do it outside og the replay screen

without needing to enter the screen

[left ravine]

You can do that via your world map

[left ravine]

Forgot my music, sorry

[empty moth]

i have the companions off but hes still complaining what do i do

[left ravine]

Usually in a safe house since they spawn there, once you leave it stops

[subtle grove]

I just hit lvl 40 this night, and I gotta ask, is there any way to solo countdown as a fresh no build lvl 40? And some awesome ways to grind easily as a solo player?

-# p.s I can't matchmake, I have no PS+

[cold pumice]

In answer to the first question, no. You're not going to be soloing countdown. Its designed for 8 people.

You can target your own loot in retaliations, those can be easily soloed

[subtle grove]

Ah, alright, but I've seen many guides saying I can solo countdown

-# albeit, they had some good builds and had thousands of more hours than me

[wispy merlin]

which guides say that?

the guides we have here at least in this server never claim that

[spare atlas]

You can also play Summit solo easily, but it's much less loot than countdown and retaliations, and 99% of people find it boring. However if you are one of the 10 people who like it, maybe it's your jam 😅

[pseudo tundra]

you could proably do normla difficulty but that wont give any good gear on countdown

summit if solo, countdown on challenging with matchmaking is one way to farm regular gear

[olive phoenix]

I mean yeah you technically "can" (There's some people recently attempting solo heroic, but so far no successful run without failing objectives)
But so far even attempting challenging solo countdown is just really going for a challenge run if you like doing this kinda stuff. Especially considering all the RNG involved (spawn points, counter measures, objectives etc)
So in other words unless its for the sake of bullying yourself, it's not worth doing, even less on challenging or heroic
It's just a challenge for the sake of challenge run entertainement

Especially heroic since again so far it's not been done. And the people currently attempting it really struggle even with god-like looking runs because its scaled for 8 players in the end, and again, relies heavily on RNG. Which means even getting the one goat RNG, you still might not succeed while playing extremely well (especially since in the end AI itself is inconsistent and may behave harder one run than another).

[pseudo tundra]

nothing like having all hunters run back and camp next to a BT healing station that is out of sight

[cold pumice]

I'd like to see these guides that claim it, even if by some miracle they were able to complete a couple of objectives, the time restraints alone would likely cause them to fail

[subtle grove]

They usually clarify it's on normal

[cold pumice]

Its not worth doing on normal

[clever fjord]

Eh it's not really that hard to do it then

[subtle grove]

That makes a whole Lotta sense

[eager inlet]

afaik Agt.Lost did it back in TU21 or something but I haven't yet seen the video of it since he hasn't uploaded it. I talked with him about it tho and he said he did succesfully complete it, and I have no reason not to believe him.
On this patch it should technically be easier than it was back then, but man has it been suffering at least for me. Just gambling on good RNG in terms of obj's and countermeasures.

[cold pumice]

Challenging is the "default difficulty".

Its the best investment for loot/time in countdown. The average loot rolls are slightly lower than heroic but the mission is miles easier

[olive phoenix]

Yeah it makes it very fail proof (well as in you're not almost guaranteed to fail unlike heroic if that happens) if like 3-4 people leaves too

[eager inlet]

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't countdown give extra time for main objective back in the days? Or was it the same as it is now that the first 15-minutes includes 2 obj's+main obj?

[olive phoenix]

Honestly no idea I don't recall that at all

I think I recall that if you finished 2 objectives it'd give you a bit more time for the final one but I might be mixing it with the fixed time once you finish the final objective to go to extract

[subtle grove]

Okay, so countdown ain't worth it if I can't go on challenging with matchmaking on? So the best way to grind without matchmaking is ret?

[pseudo tundra]

if you reach main objective with less than 5min it goes back to 5min

[eager inlet]

why would you not want to matchmake for countdown? Just curious

[olive phoenix]

You can matchmake challenging, its pretty much the reason to play challenging over heroic (safety)

[pseudo tundra]

so completed the second objective with only 2 min? it goes back to 5 i think

[eager inlet]

oooooh, I did not know that. Good to know tho.

[cold pumice]

Retaliations give similar amounts of loot to countdown so yes

[subtle grove]

I play on PlayStation. And it has paid online features.

[cold pumice]

He cant MM, no ps plus

[olive phoenix]

oh

[clever fjord]

Retaliation is honestly countdown 2.0 in terms of loot

[cold pumice]

Paid online services is such a scummy thing lol

[eager inlet]

what the hell... you can't matchmake without paying? That makes no sense if you can play the game otherwise since it's an always online game.,

[clever fjord]

Welcome to console

[pseudo tundra]

online features are paid on playstation, xbox and nintendo

[cold pumice]

On console you can play always online games, but need to pay to play with others because predatory marketing

[subtle grove]

I can do legit anything, except matchmake or do anything that requires other online players

[eager inlet]

holy funk that's... yeah.. predatory is a great word for that...

[olive phoenix]

Unironically its so scummy because like it was said the game being always online literally means you just pay for the right to play with others

[cold pumice]

The only downside is the lost loot at the end.

[cold pumice]

Yeah console online services is dogwater honestly

[clever fjord]

Honestly either keep 1 ad alive and vacuum
I noticed retal started putting me where i did the last cp and loot wasn't gone or at least when i overflowed on caches those didn't disappear

[cold pumice]

It would just be much easier if they just got rid of the timer and let you press a button to end it

[olive phoenix]

This, also i dont know why it takes so long to do the retake interaction. Its much longer than a flare. And you also cant use alt and press it for instant interact with the mouse like many others (not as much of a big deal but a weird inconsistency still)

[cold pumice]

Theres literally zero reason for it to time you out lol

[cold pumice]

Weird inconsistancy describes alot of Division 2 lol

Its part of the charm because each update has two surprises.

One for what they fixed and another for what they broke

Like this seasons surprise enemy modifier "Death Ray Turrets"

[subtle grove]

Guys, I uhhh need a way to grind ecreds, since I need to upgrade my bench so I can optimize my lvl 30 St Elmo's to lvl 40

[wispy merlin]

do bounties

[subtle grove]

That makes sense, will do those after I do some retals on challenging (I'll wait for a good build for heroic)

[olive phoenix]

If you run out of bounties you could also matchmake, on the last tab you have a matchmake for "random bounties"
It's not ideal of course, but if you have 0 bounties and want to run a few, its faster than farming public execution for an "immediate lazy replacement"

Nevermind.. I forgot PS Plus doesnt allow that. I'm still under the shock sorry 😭

[acoustic lark]

Im losing it. How on earth can i change my companion?

[cold pumice]

Change the active modifier

[acoustic lark]

Oh wow, thanks

[nimble zenith]

Guys, if my mule cant do camp white oak, do i need to keep doing main missions until its "open"?

[pseudo tundra]

that should be unlocked after doing the basic campaign and reaching lv30 with the BT invasion i think

[nimble zenith]

I cant do it. Unavailable. Cant do the timed challenge 😢

[pseudo tundra]

what level is your character?

[cold pumice]

Mule? There's no such thing nowdays lol

[nimble zenith]

Shd 6k. Its my other character, that i just use for pvp

[pseudo tundra]

can you post a screenshot of your map?

[nimble zenith]

But people understand what i mean 🙂 its my 3rd char out of 4

[cold pumice]

Shd level doesn't matter if your character hasn't completed the story or been boosted

[nimble zenith]

Thats why im asking what should i do

[cold pumice]

Shd level is shared across all characters. But it's only accessible if that character is level 40.

You either need to use the "boost" or level it up by completing the story

[nimble zenith]

It switched to manhunt mode and i cant change it. And i cant fast travel cos i was in grp with friend

@cold pumice so story mode missions.. ty

[cold pumice]

The mission doesn't just switch, your friend must have changed it to manhunt if you were in their group.

You also need to LEAVE the group, even if you're the only one left as the game doesn't always send you back to your map/server

[nimble zenith]

I ran it with my friend, i saw the timer but it didnt count. When i was solo i couldnt fast travel anymore. And when switching modes it got "stuck" on manhunt since i cant do it (yet) on story mode. Apparently i just have to do more story mode missions. It says i havent progressed enough. Been lvl 40 for 1.5 years at least, it was just used for pvp 🙂

[left ravine]

You asked this yesterday, have you tried yourself in the meantime?

[charred shore]

Does anyone know how many exotic components it takes to go from 13 to 30?

[slim elk]

check pins

[charred shore]

Thank you 🔥

[shadow isle]

is the global event supposed to deactivate after completing retaliation?

[charred shore]

Seems to a bug

[whole valley]

How do I get the reconfiguration bp for the capacitor ?

[slim elk]

with Inaya

[whole valley]

It’s not there,first place I looked

[slim elk]

try relogging

[whole valley]

It’s been a few days so yes nothing

And just relogged to get Danny to have inventory,so I definitely can check off relog issue

Testing something…

She has a restock timer of all 0 s but I disassembled my lvl 35 ,before there was a time…I think it’s bugged

[nocturne siren]

I don't think it'll give you the blueprint until you hit level 40

Level 31-39 gear is its own thing

[whole valley]

I’m shd lvl 753

[nocturne siren]

Uh

Still might need to get one for level 40

[whole valley]

Oh I have that lol, from summit

Trying equipping it then relogging

Well that put it in my blueprints in my crafting station…strange

And the vendor has a timer now …lol

[empty moth]

google is telling me countdown is unlocked at level 40, but my level 25-30 friends have been playing it, when is the earliest its unlocked?

[slim elk]

are you sure its lvl 25 and not SHD lvl 25?

[empty moth]

they were playing it with me without having warlords and not being able to go to level 40

[inner tendon]

@empty moth Everyone has access to Lvl 40 now, you don't even need to leave DC anymore.

It was part of the "one world" update.

[empty moth]

oh i see

[inner tendon]

tl;dr no more World Tiers, it's straight from Lvl 1-40, and then you talk to the Quartermaster to get your watch.

[desert thunder]

So with the division 1 servers down the survival event thing for the division 2, is that still going through or does anybody know anything?

[slim elk]

#news-and-announcements

[desert thunder]

Any one know how to get the beacon chest piece if one accidentally delete the one they got?

[left ravine]

Maybe you're lucky and it's added already, otherwise gotta wait till next season probably

[desert thunder]

dang

[leaden crag]

Is there a reason why tipping scales and concentrated doesn’t show up in styles when I’m trying to change the style of gear ?

I’ve noticed this before too in previous new items dropping

[steep void]

favorite button is underrated 😁

U can get that next season only when its added on loot pool and retal Blueprints

[cunning yoke]

Hey guys, where can find the challenges for the streamer partnership? Each day I have 3 projects that are already complete and new ones from the content creators don't show up there? Thanks.

[candid verge]

if you already completed them and got the backpacks, then I think there is no more 🤔

[steep void]

Previously last project would repeat always but from last shepherd event i think they stopped it 🤔

[dense whale]

Is Salvo Holster only obtainable through Battle pass only?

because i am not getting this specific gear dropped on countdown

[steep void]

No i saw a drop of salvo holster on retaliation, and i have not claimed salvo from pass yet

[dense whale]

then i am unlucky so far,thnx for letting me know

[steep void]

Drop rate seems very less for named unit items, getting good equalizer was impossible for me as well until i crafted one

[storm bronze]

Could someone tell me what is the hunter mask and how do I get it? I saw someone talk about it today so

[worldly fjord]

There's like 25+ of them, gotta be more specific

[storm bronze]

I have no idea what are the names of those, I just heard about them

[worldly fjord]

There are videos out there in the wild

[storm bronze]

Hold on I'm gonna finish the floor and let you know about which one

[storm bronze]

For some reason the max in a video there's only like 12-13 masks I think?

[worldly fjord]

At first there were 12 to 13
A year later they added another 12 to 13
Then with brroklyn they added 8
And a few miscellaneous ones

[storm bronze]

Ah gotcha, you know what? I'll just use the videos on how to get each hunter mask, just not to bother anyone about them

[broken light]

Is the backfire still viable with hazard protection and striker. I had a backfire striker build when it was still a thing due to previous seasonal modifiers.

Or Is it no longer viable due to any nerfs that may have happened to it.

[worldly fjord]

They're commonly referred to as "year 1 hunters", "year 2 hunters" and "brooklyn hunters"

[left plinth]

can you earn the 2 new Named UA Chest and Holster by farming countdown?

[cold pumice]

Backfire is viable without Haz Pro tbh.

Just got to keep the stacks up. Just wearing memento will negate alot of the initial bleed damage

[strange harbor]

Yes

[dense whale]

holy unemployment

[cold pumice]

That was two seasons ago as well

[dense whale]

previous season i know

but still kinda insane

[nocturne siren]

That's not unemployment. That's cheat scripts

There's scripts out there that can AFK farm certain content in the game with cheat menus. There's also an underground black market for accounts on Division 2 PC and I've seen SHD 100k+ accounts go for well over 1000 USD

[dense whale]

afk xp farm huh
but can they afk farm season xp too?

[nocturne siren]

Yes

[dense whale]

holy

[dense whale]

imagine buying a Division 2 account for a thousand bucks in 2025/2026

[nocturne siren]

Hoping you saw that 👀

[dense whale]

yessir,sure did

[nocturne siren]

The quickest way to tell is look at their commendation score

If it's low or non existent, cheat scripts

[dense whale]

What on God's green earth

still didnt get the Salvo from retaliation or countdown
guess i gotta go to 62 lvl

[nocturne siren]

Boosting/Cheating in a game like this is a whole business. And people will pay top dollar for the dumbest things. I mean hell, when stretch goals first hit, people paid hundreds on season pass levels just to get the raid exotics

[dense whale]

GCROCKS Discord server left the chat

[nocturne siren]

That's the reason the devs locked seasonal level purchases during stretch goals

[dense whale]

that server is very helpful
raids everyday

[nocturne siren]

Yeah people will pay hundreds just to get an EB. I've seen it firsthand. They're usually the casual/lazy playerbase

Or the clueless who don't know GCRock exists

[dense whale]

even content creators like Widdz also promote Boosting system on Division 2

[nocturne siren]

And that's why he's not part of the creator event

[dense whale]

his gameplay also feels sus from my POV

[nocturne siren]

I can see why people boost SHD levels but buying raid exotics? That's such a waste

[dense whale]

i may be a noob ,but his aim seems very sus to me

[nocturne siren]

Ruins the point of the content itself

I don't watch division YT at all except for division announcements

[dense whale]

i sometimes watch RogueGolds video for update infos and PTS Stuffs

[nocturne siren]

I don't bother with PTS stuff since the patch notes tells us basically everything

[pseudo tundra]

ahem

#rules

[nocturne siren]

^^ don't cheat kids, it's against the rules and also it's not worth risking an account ban

[nocturne siren]

☝️Just figured I'd provide insight on why we see levels like this

[minor ferry]

Opinion: When you have gotten all the guns and builds you are interested in, the endgame of Division 2 becomes a lot less engaging, to the point of being kinda lackluster. Theres nothing to grind for anymore... Thoughts? Anyone else feel the same?

[cold pumice]

Time for a break

[winter mason]

People are lucky I really want those.

[hazy flicker]

How long will the Veteran Reward stay live? I hope to redeem it before end of February next year

[delicate tartan]

@minor ferry we do get christmas event, we have manhunt, colaboration events , so no need for a break, there are a lot of upcoming events that are new and even you have builds, weapons you are interested inn , i try to update builds i allready have + weapons

[minor ferry]

Is bittersweet good?

[delicate tartan]

New rifle so hard to say

[wild patio]

is tinkerer bugged? I've been testing it for the last 20 minutes and I'm pretty sure that both talents are not working

[pseudo tundra]

it's usually bugged the other way, what weapons and talents were you trying to use

[wild patio]

like I have my primary weapon as a military mk46 with frenzy, and my secondary as an mg5 with killer. I switched to my secondary and it was immediately obvious that frenzy wasn't proccing. So I tested it out with a different weapon, a classic M60 with sledgehammer. when using that one, I can clearly see the sledgehammer icon on an enemy, but when I switch back to my primary and use a grenade, no sledgehammer icon

[pseudo tundra]

it only works for the primary weapon, make sure neither is a named item

[wild patio]

neither are named. just to be clear, what does "it only works" mean in this context. the primary weapon gets the talent of the secondary? because I wasn't seeing sledgehammer being pulled over to the primary from the secondary

[pseudo tundra]

only the primary weapon gets the talent of the secondary, the secondary wont get the primary talent, so switching wont work properly

[oak gazelle]

yep, you'll have to switch slots for that

[wild patio]

ok, I swapped the MG5 and the MK46 and I am definitely seeing frenzy get pulled over

thanks, I missed that it only goes from secondary to primary

[oak gazelle]

tbh it should work that way or respectively in both ways

[wild patio]

it was my intuition that it would go both ways, essentially you have a dead secondary weapon. but I guess that's part of the intended tradeoff of using the mask

[minor ferry]

Can this gun use the technician's laser pointer that pulses enemies?

[mellow trout]

No

Fairly certain the linked laser only goes on long rails

[nocturne siren]

no. dare is trash

[subtle grove]

What caches should I get? I got like 40 stars rn, and I dunno want to spend it on

(Also, best way to grind shd lvls? I got alot of them by just doing random missions over because of the 3x exp)

[slim elk]

Whatever you need most, or just exotic caches

My xp gdoc, I'm still working on it but it's almost done
XP Farming

[subtle grove]

I need a memento, and I haven't gotten it yet, can I get it from the cache or?

[slim elk]

Oh and there's also a pinned message with more info called Control Point XP Farming

[slim elk]

Yes

[storm bronze]

Is it possible to get the houndsman outfit still?

[slim elk]

unless it comes out in the store, no

[storm bronze]

Alright good to know

[subtle grove]

Ah. I got 40 stars, so I might get 2 of em. If I don't get a memento then I'll just farm outcast retals

[slim elk]

remember to set your TL tho

[subtle grove]

On bags right?

[slim elk]

yup yup

[subtle grove]

I don't have the courage to go on heroic with my build rn, but it does average around 1.8mil dps, that good for heroic?

[slim elk]

yeah, what's the build?

[subtle grove]

Its a strikers I cobbled up with help with the strikers guide, and uh, I replaced the kneepads with ceskas, since that was the only one I got for my striker build grinding

Mostly normal base damage and CHC

[slim elk]

hmm wait are you using striker chest?

[subtle grove]

Yep

[slim elk]

there's a downside to using striker chest outside of raids and maybe legendary
it's that you cannot fully build your stacks or maintain them, I saw that Turmoil may help with that but idk if you have them

[subtle grove]

I legit just saw bunker was targeted with strikers and I said "I need that build, since a build is needed for everything" so yknow

[slim elk]

might as well farm for a Ceska Oblit chest

good luck tho, you're doing good anyways with that build

[steep void]

Yeah then u play other games 😅

[eager inlet]

imo... it really doesn't matter if you're not keeping your stacks at 200 in casual farming. I haven't taken my striker chest off for about a year lol. I'm just too lazy to swap if I'm doing random heroic stuff or whatever. But well on heroic I mostly headhunt anyways so it's not like I'm suing the striker set that much there.
What I'm trying to say is that in practice it really is not a big difference if you're using striker chest for casual farming. Sure Glass or Obli would be more optimal, but gameplay wise the difference is really non existent.

[slim elk]

that's good to know, you're updating my broke database with this, tysm

[nocturne siren]

I purposely make my builds have Glass/Oblit and swap to chest when playing Leggo/master

[eager inlet]

tldr: the chest is really not optimal outside of leggies/raids/countdown... but it's not like you have to be that optimal for random heroic farming

[solid igloo]

Is the CQBSS still everyone's favorite scope after all these years?

[pseudo tundra]

i use it on my semi auto rifles when in the mood for sniping

[solid igloo]

I want to love the ACOG for not being required to zoom in, but the center dot is just too big

[sick plaza]

so im still very new to the game. only 132hrs so far. i was hoping someone had info as to max damage rolls for guns. like i have a st elmos but its only 90k dmg. is that low? high? etc is this information listed anywhere?

[solid igloo]

I'm pretty sure that's the Core Attribute [Weapon Type] Damage in the item info, but I also just came back after not playing for a good 3 years.

[cold pumice]

The base damage of all guns is the same for each one of the same type. All Elmos for example have the same base damage

What does change is your % of weapon damage, specific weapon damage and all weapon damage which increases the final base number displayed in your inventory

Weapon damage, specific weapon damage and all weapon damage can be found from various sources including core gear attributes, weapon attributes, specialisations etc etc

[cold pumice]

Just a quick example for you. Two Banshee SMGs in my inventory, You can see the base damage listed there (in white. This damage number is the same for both guns), and the added damage from other sources which gives the total I see in the inventory (displayed in orange).

The one below has a slightly higher damage displayed in the inventory, this is because it dropped with a slightly higher "SMG Damage" attribute. If both the SMG damage attributes where the same, the displayed damage would be the same

[olive phoenix]

I agree with you but 70k+ is very unlikely to be legit. Anything above 60k starts being very doubtful. Not saying they all are, but that we enter grey area tbh

[leaden crag]

Imma ask again cause I know I asked really late at night .. hopefully someone can help me but … in the fear appearance modifiers .. how come tipping scales and concentrated don’t show up as options for me to change the appearance of my chest piece backpacks etc .. I see a lot of other gear styles but those two aren’t there and I have one of each pieces in the set so I’ve collected it

Is there something you have to do now to unlock the style ?

[cold pumice]

No it isn't.....game has been out for almost 7 years.

Some people just, play one game alot.

At this point ShD levels above that should not be uncommon.

Lets take the perspective of someone who plays alot of Division 2.

It's possible, during SHD XP events, to get 1,000 boosted SHD levels. You can do this in a few hours if you're dedicated (Nat Bond Bank takes a few minutes and can be farmed relentlessly if you really want to) Even outside of xp events, this gives enormous XP p/h

[left ravine]

The transmogs haven't been added yet

Since they're based on existing transmogs you can try to find the identical looking on le and simply dye all your items in the same color. If that's an alternative for you

[olive phoenix]

It really isnt if you take into consideration that XP events have been around only for a small % of the game's life span, and also that SHD's were after year 2. We seem to have different opinions and thats fine, like I said I agree that some likely are legit, but the most part also likely isn't. I just disagree personally
(also lets be serious no one is farming hours of nat bond a day for months/years without burning out)

[cold pumice]

Welcome to gaming, people literally do things like that. It's not an uncommon or even unbelievable thing.

I just disagree with the "Everyone who is high ShD is or has cheated" mentality.

[olive phoenix]

I didn't say everyone btw. re-read both of my messages or don't distort my words. Again we just dont have the same opinions, but dont distort my words pls

To put it simply: Whatever the screenshot of this guy was I don't know him. It's not possible to state whether its legit or not, and frankly I don't care neither was I trying to say "He cheated his levels!!1!!1"
The point still stands. 60k+ isn't high, its very high. Pretty much anyone would consider already 30k+ high in this game.
The reason why I say imo 60k+ is very likely not legit for the most part (again, some people definitely are but at such a high number its very likely that a good portion also isnt). Is because it's KNOWN that there's peopel who abuse scripts and shady stuff (sometimes with cheats in play) to grind to such ridiculous amounts.

I never said everyone is cheating for SHD above 60k nor that this guy was one, just stating that its pretty much a 50/50 for anyone until you check their other stats. Like fifty said commendation is a good look, other stats also are (like if they have 90% headshot rate its not even a question)

[supple bane]

with golden bullet i know that while active and you get a kill it refills the mag but what about special ammo like OD bleed or elmo shock

[cold pumice]

They aren't refilled

[olive phoenix]

I'm pretty sure that it doesnt affect status effects from special ammo, it acts as a reload

[supple bane]

intriguing

[cold pumice]

Its a magazine refill, not a reload (important distinction)

[olive phoenix]

well yes thats why i said "acts as"....

[pseudo tundra]

that said OD hollow points are added to your total ammo

so you can carry some silly amount of ammo

also helps negate effects of some ammo directives

[cold pumice]

But it doesnt, if it acted as a reload it would proc talents that apply on reload.

Its specifically a magazine refill (otherwise things like Chatterbox would be insane)

[pseudo tundra]

honestly making your magazine refill on proc would be a great backpack talent

[olive phoenix]

Yeah you make a good point it wasn't phrased properly, meant to say its the same as if it reloads your gun, but you're right it doesnt act the same (like the action of doing it)

[cold pumice]

Would be fun if it procced Chatterbox talent.

Gun can already hit 2k RPM lol

[olive phoenix]

steady handed (weapon talent) does it and it can be cool on some guns tbh

[pseudo tundra]

chatterbox OD could be funny to try later

[sick plaza]

i gotcha. so how do i turn on being able to see the white number like your screen shot? im sure i overlooked a setting somewhere...

[cold pumice]

Open inventory, press X for options, at the bottom of that menu is Inventory options. Turn "Show base damage" on

[sick plaza]

thanks a ton! appreciate all the help!

[nocturne siren]

I'm late to the party but simply inspecting their characters and their commendation score is a very quick indicator to tell if someone is using cheat scripts for level boosting. As well as searching a user up on ISAC for their recorded hours

For me, I'm 18.2k SHD with maybe 1700 hours. I just hit commendation tier X today, which idk what that score is. You'd have to look at me via inspection (/inspect fiftysdeath). Check my character slots too. I'd also be happy to provide an ISAC stats page too for pinpoint hours

[cold pumice]

Ive just hit 1,000 hours at 2.3k shd and commendation 8 lol

[bold tiger]

i'm a noob compared to you guys 😹

[nocturne siren]

Just farm control points like you wouldn't believe and run only determined builds and you'll hit SHD 10k in no time

Abuse the XP events to hit it quicker

[left ravine]

Character playtime is the most obvious indicator

[civic junco]

Well, I beat the game, I am now elite.

[wispy merlin]

l33t sk7llz

[tribal hemlock]

7 is a T youngin

[wispy merlin]

yes i just felt it was redundant since the pic shows 1337 already

[molten kayak]

i need help clearing up space in my inventory and have a bunch of the same exotics anyon e know if i should just scrap thrm or if theirs a better thing to do

[bold tiger]

2nd, 3rd, 4th characters can hold 150 each. buying the 2 DLCS and the year 1 pass nets you another 150 stash space

[molten kayak]

how exactly would i transfer them

[bold tiger]

put them in stash, log in 2nd/3rd/4th character. goto stash pull gear out on them

[molten kayak]

ok thank you sm

[nocturne siren]

Not exactly. I have a character that only has 2h playtime. If people delete slots then the timer resets. The biggest telltale sign would be their hours total on their account

Commendation score plays into it as well

[left ravine]

Yeah you can check all their character playtime by inspecting. Gotta do the math

[halcyon canopy]

guys is there any news about division 3 or there's no plan for division 3?

[tribal hemlock]

d3 is currently in development. thats all we know.

[tribal hemlock]

source: https://www.massive.se/project/tom-clancys-the-division-3/

In 2023, it was announced that Massive Entertainment is leading the development of Tom Clancy's The Division 3. The project is led by Julian Gerighty, who is the Executive Producer for The Division brand.

While we cannot unveil any details about the third entry in the series at this time, we are actively recruiting for the project. Keep an eye on our job ads, as we're continuously expanding the team.

Stay tuned for more news on Tom Clancy's The Division 3!

[halcyon canopy]

thx. this is sad. this the issue with aaa companies, they allways bring new game and leaves the current game to die 🙁 whats the point spending thousands of hours in our progression on a game if the company kills it after few years to launch new game 🙁 i would love if aaa companies choices the path like warframe, world of warcraft etc where they add new expansion updates forever instead bringing new game

[pseudo tundra]

well this game is like 7 years old

and div3 is probably still a couple of years away

[halcyon canopy]

you guys gonna lose 9 years of progression when division 3 comes. wont that brake you?

[pseudo tundra]

well nothing last forever

if they rushed to make the previous game obsolete then i would be mad

[halcyon canopy]

i was going to buy division 2. i loved every aspect of division 2, its most perfect game for me. but the division 3 news ruined it for me 🙁

[pseudo tundra]

this game was meant to have ended once and it came back

it's not like teh generic FIFA

[halcyon canopy]

its just me, i cant tolerate the heart breaking from losing progression

i was so exited to play this game today. but think wont play it anymore cause it would be waste of time. i'm willing to pay any much for new expansions if the developers dont make new game of a series which kills current game 🙁

[mellow trout]

???

The division 1 is still alive and kicking which should tell you that the division 2 will be fine when 3 comes

They're distinct enough that they maintain a dedicated playerbase which I should imagine will be no different when the next entry rolls around

[high glade]

If you think Division 3 is coming soon, you may be delusional.

[mellow trout]

That too

You've still got at least a couple of years, and for the 20 dollars I spent plus however much BFB retails for I've gotten wayyyy more than my money out of it

[tribal hemlock]

yea i'm thinking 2030 for d3 at the earliest

we'll probably see cyberpunk 2 before d3

[mellow trout]

Wake the fk up agent, we have a country to save

[tribal hemlock]

imagine how good it'll be if they crush it with d3

we'll have like 10+ years of more div to play

[mellow trout]

I'm surprised div2 is even alive

But I imagine now with all the bundles and content ubi considers it a heavy hitter

[high glade]

I'd actually rather them take a lot longer to release something solid and worth playing than try to rush out garbage for a quick buck. You know, like most companies do now.

[mellow trout]

So maybe the studio will be allowed to cook

[mellow trout]

GTA 6 mfs when the game that hasn't released yet looks unfinished:

[tribal hemlock]

i hate rockstar so much for going console first

like come on

[mellow trout]

I can't be bothered till it goes on a good discount tbh

And 30 FPS on current gen console hardware has got to be a sick joke😭

[somber pumice]

That’s such a wild thing to me. It’s not even a particularly broken gun either + the raid actually seems super fun

[mellow trout]

Huh

[halcyon canopy]

if thats the case then it would be awsome

[halcyon canopy]

i dont mind the money spent. only issue is the hours spent for my progression and then lose it all 🙁

[mellow trout]

You don't lose your progression

[halcyon canopy]

game dead = lose progression

[mellow trout]

It's still there but it's a different game you can't expect carryover😭

[slim elk]

what?????

[halcyon canopy]

btw in steam only like 1000 players for division 1

[mellow trout]

The games the furthest thing from dead rn

[mellow trout]

For a 9 year old game that's not bad at all, especially considering there'll be even more on other platforms

[halcyon canopy]

aa, so division 2 is cross platform?

[mellow trout]

No

[slim elk]

no

[halcyon canopy]

but in PC players using steam and players using ubisoft app to play division 2 are cross right?

[slim elk]

they are basically the same

[halcyon canopy]

they play together right?

[slim elk]

yes.

[halcyon canopy]

thx

[halcyon canopy]

if the company follows this comment i wont have any issue to start playing division 2 now. can others please also comfirm this? that division 3 would be much distinct to maintain helthy playerbase for division 2?

[mellow trout]

It's speculation on my part it's got nothing to do with the company😭

[halcyon canopy]

does division 1 still recieve regular updates/events?

[mellow trout]

Global events are still on rotation but no new content

[halcyon canopy]

wdym by global events? automatic in game permanent events without needing any input/interference from devs?

[mellow trout]

Modifiers that shake up the gameplay that come with challenges to earn masks/patches and a currency to buy crates

[halcyon canopy]

but those event is like automatic permanent in game rotation without needing any input/interference from devs? like in actively updated games devs bring new events on a patch day, the events you mentioning are not like that right?

[mellow trout]

Nah the Devs schedule them in advance

The point being that live service games can co exist

Closest parallel to div I would draw would be the crew 2/motorfest

[halcyon canopy]

thx. sorry i'm disturbing you too much. so does the game recieve patches/updates still?

[mellow trout]

No patches or updates just global events and server maintenance

Though recently they did this survive fest event but it was rescheduled to January due to server issues

[halcyon canopy]

ok ty

so i'm gonna put a question out here for others intput too-

Hi, will division 3 be much distinct to maintain healthy player base for division 2 even after division 3 comes out?

[pseudo tundra]

most likely, a lot of system changes happened between div1 and 2 that makes the game different despite being in the same genre

[eternal edge]

so xp events are for shd exp only right? it wouldnt count for season xp?

[pseudo tundra]

Season xp have their specific season xp events

[eternal edge]

ok noted ty

[spare girder]

When will the creator collab end?

And the winter event too

[solid igloo]

Is there any way to get weapon dps in the game now or do I still have to do math?

[slim elk]

maffs

there's a dps calculator in the spreadsheet

[solid igloo]

Has that url changed from the one I bookmarked 3 years ago?

[slim elk]

i have no idea

[left ravine]

Build station also has a calculator afaik

[next inlet]

Anyone have a floor 80+ checkpoint?

Or 90?

[civic junco]

Is this some weird glitch? Says I have 24, then 20, then 18 charges. In play it is 18.

[subtle grove]

Is Acosta's go bag good for striker builds or?

[slim elk]

afaik no

[subtle grove]

I still need a mementos so badly

[minor ferry]

Is running this DZ today a good idea if I wanna farm for ferocious calm?

[worldly fjord]

the striker backpack itself is pretty good

[worldly fjord]

ideally wait for fenris targeted loot. or get its blueprint from a rec cache

[nocturne siren]

Ferocious calm provides no better benefits than normal overwatch. It just charges up slightly faster

[subtle grove]

Or, head into ret and focus fenris

[worldly fjord]

wont drop there, its dz exclusive

[subtle grove]

fr? I thought it was a armor set drop, is it an exotic?

[worldly fjord]

doesnt matter what it is. different items have different drop sources, FC is a named item thats dz exclusive, so either dz and other formats like the blueprint

[subtle grove]

So, I got done with WoNY, and i'm doing legacy manhunts. When should I end it, then start BfB, then continue the manhunts?

Since BfB came out in may 25 this year, wouldn't that mean I should go until the manager?

[minor ferry]

Iirc it also gives 2% more skill dmg and weapon dmg than normal overwatch?

[nocturne siren]

Incorrect. It's 2 seconds faster of a charge

I know so as well bc I recently decon'd my chest for it when I got the blueprint

[minor ferry]

Bro said "🤓☝️" fair enough tho

[nimble spruce]

BfB is immediately after the Parnell manhunt

[nocturne siren]

💯 I sure did pull a ☝️🤓

[minor ferry]

Overwatch isnt an amp right?

[nocturne siren]

It's only really useful in raids/incursion

I'm not 100% sure. But the talent does say "total weapon and skill damage"

[minor ferry]

I use it cause i low key hate glass cannon

[subtle grove]

Ah, alright, thank you

[minor ferry]

Yes. Soooo does that indicate its prooobablyyy an amp??

[nocturne siren]

I'm not an amp expert but I'd assume no?

[lime geyser]

Hello 🙂 anyone know where you Get the black beenie with «rawstyle» on it?

[nocturne siren]

Glass cannon is 25% (30% Perfect) for all sources. TWD is slightly different I'd assume

[nimble spruce]

yeah twd/tsd are additive with other sources of twd/tsd (basically just other talents), while amps aren't additive with anything

[nocturne siren]

Basically, no, it's not an amp. Glass would still do way more

Unless I'm totally wrong. Somebody smart please correct me if I'm wrong

[flat lagoon]

Hi everyone I'm considering getting into Division 2 but I'm wondering how the state of the game is. I enjoy playing with others and not solo. Is there still a pretty active playerbase? (PC)

[oak talon]

ferocious calm is nowadays 14% TWD/S, they made it have a real benefit over normal overwatch

[nocturne siren]

Ah, I see. Is the talent description just wrong for the chest?

[oak talon]

just a small pedantic thing, but just going to correct it to help avoid confusion, amps are never additive to other stats, saying not additive to anything can get people on the wrong track, because we have things like ranger that is additive to itself.
Amp just signifies that it is not part of any other stats pool/bucket, or atleast is not intended to be, but it can be that it adds into its own pool before multiplying to everything else

[oak talon]

the ingame is fine, likely forgotten to be updated in that websites database, it was a project resolve change so it has been a while

the gear spreadsheet can be a better source to check, or checking both and seeing if they say the same thing

[nocturne siren]

ill have to double check myself. im pretty sure the chest talent when i read it in game only said 12%. could be they havent updated it. I do know I looked at it after project resolve

on build station as well, it also says 12%... hmmm. loading in game now

[oak talon]

it is doing pretty good, it is ofcourse not a bajilion players game, but still going strong and more than enough players to instantly get matchmade into the popular stuff, and there are still constant updates and new season, we just started a new season 2 weeks ago, and there are also a bunch of events going on and planned for the coming weeks. not a bad time to jump back in

[nocturne siren]

^ Kia is right 💯 in ikia we trust 🙏

[oak talon]

buildstation and mxswat use the same database, they will always say the same

[nimble spruce]

Yeah for stacking amps I guess we have to distinguish between those where the individual stacks are additive with each other (striker) vs those where they're not (intimidate).

[flat lagoon]

Ty for the response

[nocturne siren]

sounds right. turns out i DONT have the blueprint. swear I did 💀 i dont think the chest is on sale anywhere

im gonna give the spreadsheet a quick look and scour a random YTers weekly vendor reset just to see whats on sale

[nocturne siren]

I see 👀 does the chest talent in game say the same? im genuinely curious as I decon'd mine due to it reading the same as normal talent

I fully believe what youre saying im just trying to determine if this is another ubisoft instance of "we forgot to change things to be correct"... like sledgehammer was

actually, correction, still is. sledgehammer is still wrong

they reverted sledge nerf during Y6S3 I am pretty sure. would need to double check patch notes

[oak talon]

it says 14 ingame, but without it being in orange like a named stat would be

[flat lagoon]

@oak talon If I got the ultimate edition and the new season, would it be best to play all of the older content first or does it not really matter?

[nocturne siren]

so thats why I looked over it. damn 💀

eh, who even uses the chest really?

[oak talon]

also yeah, well aware of the wrong texts, actually have a guide on it ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zmMtU8JWUXNIObhxst__CYguFgfZ1288mPodyqs2LTE ), on this one it is correct ingame, likely just a oversight with the mxswat/buildstations updates, as it was part of project resovle that had a billion changes, so they likely overlooked that one, and it is not like it is a popular chestpiece that people run for people to notice

[nocturne siren]

appreciate the info ✅

wow theres a LOT of wrong descriptions 🤯

[oak talon]

if you are starting out fresh, i would say just play trough the campaigns normally, at the start it will give you the option to boost to higher levels, but it can be nice just to experience the base game and do the whole story, once you reach level forty you will have acces to the endgame anyway, even if you did not complete every story/dlc, but then you can do them still after

[nocturne siren]

oh also, I saw your little tidbit at the bottom about sys corr being an amp and not TWD. many others are reporting that is true, its only an Amp and not TWD. im a pvp player and even I noticed it

would 20-25% TWD be worth more than 20-25% amp? I know its PVP but it can be tested in PVE

[oak talon]

it depends on the TWD already on the build, keep in mind that AMP really mostly just means a seperate pool that only this one talent goes into,
and TWD is also a seperate pool, but TWD then can come from allot of places, so at 1 source twd is still at full strength, at 2 or more sources you start diminishing howmuch you gain as it is additive to itself

[nocturne siren]

humor me with this setup, its gonna be used for a world's first Sys Corr DH raid when I can organize it (I would use ODogs instead of grupo)-

pretend the gloves have a red core. and do note that is a normal Mk, and not Lud. If Sys is only 20-25% amp like people are finding, would a similar build like this provide diminishing returns?

this is my pvp one for different context for you if you need it

[oak talon]

i have not tested Syscor yet to see if it is acting like a amp atm firstly, that is why it is in that guides "to do" pile.
but if it is a amp, which several people have reported, then it will be a combined multiplier of 1.2 x 1.2 for obli and syscor for a 1.44, if it was TWD it would just be a 1.2 + 1.2 for a combined 1.4, so a 4% difference in the builds final output

[nocturne siren]

that would explain why I barely see a difference when I proc the talent, even with a maxed out ouro. I see the biggest difference when I aim for heads

with the TTK problems in PVP, its a very hard set to use in DZ. In conflict all anybody runs is DPS. sys still can perform in certain pvp scenarios but its super weak. a good majority of the pvp playerbase wants to see sys get a buff or be corrected

4% difference in my opinion, is BS. the talent is super misleading, which would be why it performs so horribly against any other optimal build. the set needs a buff

[oak talon]

that 4% is between if it is acting like an amp or if it is acting like TWD, the set itself is max 20% aslong as you have the bonus armour for it

[nocturne siren]

with the backpack, that should ensure I get the bonus at max. with the TTK being so short, that bonus is likely to disappear within 4 shots. worse if someone is running umbra

and you are right, it is up to 20% . that part is true. the TWD it says seems to be a bit false

[oak talon]

but 20% is low, keep in mind that HF gets that just for proximity and striker gets that at about 22-ish stacks with backpack, but syscor is supposed to provide other benefits in its medpack and pulse resistance, but overall that is the reason you do not see it much in PVP

[nocturne siren]

yeah its very rare I see people run it in pvp. the bonuses that it gives are a bit niche and underwhelming when a ninjabike + 3 piece umbra with chest + 2 piece yaahl will do the job sys does but better

youll have plenty of damage/crits/rof, plenty of chc if you build it properly, and if you take 1 pulse res mod youll be pulse immune

typically when im fighting spotter players or those cheesing heartbreaker, ill throw it on and toy with them just for laughs. but other than that I dont touch it anymore. glad to see that youre even testing PVP sets, helps us PVP guys out a ton 💯 the work you do in the community is so vastly underappreciated its not even funny

[subtle grove]

Is 1.8mil dps good? or bad? just cobbled together a striker build (it could have changed, but I haven't checked it yet. last time i checked it was 1.8mil)

[nocturne siren]

post the build

[subtle grove]

give me a moment

[subtle grove]

i'll prolly post the build I have on currently a few days from now

[minor ferry]

How to get the Vile blueprint? asking for my friend

[pseudo tundra]

retaliation

cant remember which faction, i think the crafting table should say

[minor ferry]

?

[pseudo tundra]

you already have the blueprint

[minor ferry]

@pseudo tundra

[pseudo tundra]

if you already have the blueprint it wont say

i you dont own it then the game says "drops from X faction retaliation"

[minor ferry]

Can you do retaliations without WONY?

[pseudo tundra]

yes

[clever fjord]

You won't have access to cleaners or rikers tho

[minor ferry]

Why cant my friend not do retaliations in DC? he has just hit level 40

[pseudo tundra]

he should be able to

is it not on his map menu

[minor ferry]

He isnt. Does he need to "talk to wally" first?

[pseudo tundra]

possibly, but i didnt hear that being a condition

[nocturne siren]

does he even have the shd watch?

[minor ferry]

yes

[nocturne siren]

I have not a clue then

[minor ferry]

@nimble spruce Do you know why my friend cant start retaliations?

[pseudo tundra]

let's not go around pinging mods that are away

[minor ferry]

I was not aware

[pseudo tundra]

did he start playing the game now?

[nimble spruce]

We'd need more specifics. Is the retaliation circle red? Often the cirle (the one around the faction name on the retaliation screen that fills up as you kill more of that enemy type) will get to full white but won't fully 'trigger' (turn red) if something else is blocking it, like another active retaliation, or if you're on a map that doesn't have that faction.

[minor ferry]

He cant even see the retaliation tab on the map

[nimble spruce]

probably not at endgame yet then. Got to get to lvl 40 and likely also complete the storyline up to tidal basin

[minor ferry]

What does the storyline up to Tidal include? Does he have to do side missions?

or just tidal?

[nimble spruce]

base story up to Capitol, then three invaded strongholds, a specific new side mission that will appear, then tidal. Certain parts of it (everything from first Capitol completion) has to be done on his own map, not anyone elses

other side missions are mostly not necessary, maybe a few at the white house/castle that unlock the later missions

[nocturne siren]

so are the servers taking a shit again? playing conflict and its lag spikes upon lag spikes back to back

[neat holly]

(Besides National Bond Armory) What are the overall fastest classified assignments to complete?

[cold pumice]

None come close to the speed of NBA

[neat holly]

im aware, but what is number 2

[cold pumice]

Probably Nelson Theatre Hostages

[lime geyser]

Hello 🙂 anyone know where you Get the black beenie with «rawstyle» on it? Anyone who can help?

[midnight summit]

I don’t know if I’m the only one experiencing this, but my Journey missions are bugged I think

[cold pumice]

Have you completed the Companion introduction mission?

[midnight summit]

Yeah

[strange harbor]

you need to get lv 40 first

[midnight summit]

Ah ok, appreciate it

[solid igloo]

is my memory busted or did there used to be a more in-depth dark zone tutorial mission?

[strange harbor]

yeah there used to be that

[solid igloo]

I was very confused when the first one ended the moment I walked up to the checkpoint

[nimble zenith]

Guys, i just saw a guy with picaro's with +15% weapon damage. Am i missing something? Sorry, didnt screenshot it and he was gone

[nocturne siren]

There's some 15% left due to them likely optimizing the stat before they changed it to 10%

It used to not come with a maxed out weapon core until project resolve. Then they nerfed it to 10%

[eager inlet]

idk if you already got the answer, but Vile drops from Outkast retaliation completion.

[sour smelt]

What's the best way to grind for the capacitor?

[left ravine]

Summit project

Otherwise AR targeted loot

[sour smelt]

Ty

[random pilot]

How to I get a quickstep pistol?

[left ravine]

You can't get it yourself at this moment. Maybe it will make a return with the next seasonal event from the loot goblin; or perhaps the mini warhounds will make a return.
One thing you can try is to ask around if anyone on your platform still has a some Houndsman bounties tho, the pistol can still drop from those.

[copper zodiac]

If you want it anytime soon, ask ppl around if they got the Houndsman bounty. (eg. Countdown or other activity.)

[desert thunder]

Why is bond talent on the beacon chess piece not procton when running a shield or artificial hive as technically you are with in 10 m of a skill

[left ravine]

Same reaseon Streamline doesn't work with a shield

Beacon solo isn't a great idea, same as the CoCo gear set

[wispy merlin]

shield isn't a "skill proxy", it's not an actual entity in the world, same reason chem launcher doesn't work

and your artificer hive is still on you, so it's not deployed either

[desert thunder]

A skill is a skill

[wispy merlin]

i didn't make the rules

[desert thunder]

lol happy holidays

[wispy merlin]

u too lol

[kind cove]

Not according to the game

Has to be a physically placed object

[wispy merlin]

sometimes the game uses "skill proxy" to mean that and it kinda makes sense

[desert thunder]

Then they need to reword it

[wispy merlin]

yeah this game's tooltip writing leaves a lot to be desired

the community has to either correct or clarify their wording

[desert thunder]

I guess I got to run the healing ball

[kind cove]

The function is fine it just needs better wording

[lunar palm]

What’s the best way to get the overdog gloves?

[neat holly]

Heroic retaliation farming with gloves as targeted loot

Specifically that it's retaliation on heroic

[wind rain]

Anyone mind telling me or suggesting where I should begin

Used to play daily but haven’t played in two years.

Just don’t know where to begin. Stressed out a little bit.

[inner tendon]

No need to stress, div2's a slow game, you don't really "miss" stuff by taking breaks, you can still play the finale for each Manhunt.
I'd recommend checking out the 📌 pinned message in this chanel, there's a guide that might help you catch up.

[wind rain]

Where do you think I should start

Like just random checkpoints and missions

[desert thunder]

Just do the projects work on a build as there are new gear

[wind rain]

I’ll read the pin but anyone have a link or something for what’s new now

I saw there were companions

[inner tendon]

That's just a seasonal thing, they'll be gone when this season is over. Possible to return later on.

[wind rain]

Is that in pve and PvP? Ahh ok

[inner tendon]

They actually don't work at all in the PvP zone/mode, raids, incursions, basically they're only for regular missions+open worlds.

[wind rain]

Do they still have ascent and descent?

[desert thunder]

You could check out YouTube content creators like tuxedo bandit or Kamikaze doom

[inner tendon]

I'd be somewhat hesitant to rely on div2 youtubers.

they're.....how do I put this. Not known for accuracy.

[wind rain]

What about RogueGold?

NothingbutSkillz??

[inner tendon]

God these names.

xxkillerxx was already taken I guess.

[wind rain]

Sorry man

[inner tendon]

I'm not a man.
all of them are about the same, by all means use them, just double-check if the info is important. We're happy to help.

[wind rain]

I work like 65 hrs a week, just don’t have time to find out who is a reputable YouTuber

I play maybe 2 hrs a week at the very most

My apologies

I also struggle with really bad anxiety and depression, and low self esteem,

[inner tendon]

The Projects are a good way to catch up, if you focus on those, you'll have a decent time.
although I will say that 2 hours a week is going to be kinda rough, this is very much a live-service game.

[wind rain]

I came here to get some help. If you’re gonna laugh at me and trash me, let me know and I’ll just see my way out

Dang already feel like garbage.

[desert thunder]

I don't think anyone's laughing at you. We're just giving you advice where you should start what you should do that's all

[inner tendon]

I feel like I missed an entire part of this conversation.

[wind rain]

Just trying to get some help with the game.

Just trying ti find people who will help me jump back in

[desert thunder]

@inner tendon can you post the build device link? Maybe that'll be able to help

[wind rain]

I know i am a lossr snd failure. I am just trying to do better

And to get some assistance.

[inner tendon]

No one is saying that, you brought this up entirely on your own.

I'm going to say right now that the thing that'll help you the most is joining an active clan, you can find one down in #td2-clan-recruitment

[wind rain]

Sorry to bother ya’ll. Didn’t mean to come in here and clog up the channel. Just was trying to find a way to get back in the game

Yea I only have an hour or two most to play and I struggle talking to people, just don’t have the confidence

I could try but I wouldn’t even know where to begin with that

It’s all good….sorry to bother you guys. Hope you all have a great weekend and Happy Holiday
