[wind rain]

If you know anyone willing to help a new person return to the game, please let them know I would like some help. If you can

But yeah, apologize for the random comments and questions. I feel like a failure and worthless. Sorry about that

Anyways, Happy Holidays and hope you all have a great week

[inner tendon]

No one is saying that, if you are feeling this strongly you need to go talk to someone.
We're happy to help with anything div2 related, but no one here knows you personally, no one here is guaranteed to give you good mental health advice. Asking for help online from random people on a random game discord server, is going to make it worse, not better.

If you want help with div2 in the future, feel free to ask.

[wind rain]

I did want help with the game, was just trying to explain why its hard for me to engage with others

Maybe I’ll try another day

[inner tendon]

A lot of folks have similar issues, you just need to find a group that'll help you ease into the online space, and you can be friends with.
Social interaction is good for you.
Check out that #td2-clan-recruitment channel I recommended, find a team and you'll be more up to speed in no time.

[tough marsh]

One of those names are to be avoided 💀

[inner tendon]

Let's keep it vague, now.

[snow cargo]

I'm late but you want help with just playing or what exactly?
Are you lvl 40 yet? I am at a lost at the context.

There's a lot of us have like to help but context will normally make it easier to understand what help is needed.

[blazing axle]

I thought I’d try out the Captain Lewis version of the Jefferson Trade Center mission for fun—

I’ve been stuck in this courtyard arena for 25 minutes

[delicate tartan]

Can i still do manhunt since its open world winter event tomorrow

[strange harbor]

Events don't affect manhunt

[thorn sandal]

Made the 2k Club yeeeow!

[blazing axle]

I still can’t find the pieces for the chatterbox, anyone got clues for their box locations?

[cold pumice]

From memory i know one of the pieces is in the Hyena box on the roof of Grand Washington Hotel

[somber pumice]

Theyre random chances from each of the hyena controlled zones the loc boxes with keys

So it’s just going around the places opening boxes and it’ll pop eventually

Then you snag the blueprint from bank headquarters

[subtle grove]

Does anyone refer to us by "Sheriff" anymore? Since manny and Kelso called us that back in the base game. It felt kinda cool y'know?

[cold pumice]

I honestly don't remember it ever being used after the intial meeting with Manny lol

And I only remember if because I started a new HC character yesterday lol

[mellow trout]

After bounties Manny will say stuff like nice job sheriff or whatever

Other than that I don't recall it

[iron zinc]

Hey all, If im farming contractors gloves, does it make more sense to target gloves in countdown or petrov?

[kind cove]

You target farm whatever the brand set is of the named item

[iron zinc]

ye but targeting gloves works too . my ques is if one has a higher probability than the other

[nocturne siren]

manny will

[pseudo tundra]

There are many named gloves, but few named petrov

[flat lagoon]

Hi everyone, I am leveling up (currently lvl 16) and I have a high-end quality level 14 SMG. I really like the Talent on it. Is there some way to upgrade the weapon to keep it relevant? Or extract the talent?

[kind cove]

Yes however you should not worry about this until level 40

You enter the tinkering menu from your inventory screen or you go next to the crafting bench at the white house

[flat lagoon]

Ty

[delicate tartan]

The 4 outfits - one
Cache has only premium? - the other apparel, community is teamwork, get keys, share keys, open caches.

[bold tiger]

1 cache probably gives out 4, community donating keys to 1 million keys to get the 5th Krampus outfit in the middle. you know the streamers is probably going to be giving the most for it

i'm willing to bet the exclusive cache will end up giving out the new exotic shotgun by "accident" and the event will get turned off for a period of time

[nocturne siren]

the guy on the right is definitely freezing his ass off due to neck exposure

ubisoft please fix our neck apparel 🙏

[bold tiger]

check on the right has her neck slightly exposed as well

i'm curious if that krampus mask tongue flops about while we run 🤔

[delicate tartan]

I just wonder 1 cache - apparel key, ok , last community keys 1 mill, the last is only premium or?

[supple heath]

Man I’ve hit a difficulty wall on both my ps and Xbox characters

[pseudo tundra]

i think it's any

[oak gazelle]

the white version of it is given out after 1 million keys

[bold tiger]

in rogue gold's dev recap didn't seem to say white version of it, just the krampus outfit. so seeing the notes for it being the white version of it given out for that is a bit more assuring since it's not the one of the 5 they pictured earlier

[cold pumice]

Search for some build advice in #td2-build-advice

There is a rather large jump in difficulty from Challenging to Heroic, and then a huge jump from Heroic to legendary.

Not uncommon to hit a wall with an unoptimised build

[bold tiger]

Or putting on random things to make a build work but go up a level and find the damage you were doing drops considerably

[high glade]

I didn't watch the stream or any recaps, but do you know offhand if these are 1 piece outifts, or are they individual cosmetic pieces?

[bold tiger]

don't think they said. won't know until we start them tomorrow

[high glade]

The picture of them there makes me think they're all 1 piece outfits, but I'm really hoping they're individual pieces lol.

[oak gazelle]

single piece outfits are uniforms like the Dark Krampus one? so by that logic that would mean they're multiple piece outfits

[high glade]

You may be right. It is listed differently; uniform vs outfit.

[delicate tartan]

@high glade eh 4 new outfits i thought only premium credits? But ok. Another question how many keys do i need to get all 4, the last is krampus , comunity challenge 1 mil. Keys

[bold tiger]

5 outfits, the community is going to be the krampus but white color

[pseudo tundra]

play the event, get keys open the type of cache you want

if the outfits are single piece or not we dont know yet

[bold tiger]

i'm guessing all single piece outfits with the head piece seperate

[high glade]

Will know more tomorrow when it starts.

[delicate tartan]

Yeah so we get a clue of total keys for all outfits :)?

[bold tiger]

they didn't say, but once you obtain a piece you won't get duplicates

[high glade]

The 4 outfits being multiple pieces would make more sense in terms of quantity of keys, but unsure as of now.

[bold tiger]

🤔 you got a point, could be seperate pieces. chest, legs, boots, gloves, heads

oh the krampus is a uniform with mask

[high glade]

Yea. That's why I'm starting to think the wording is basically telling us the 4 outfits are multiple pieces. Uniform vs outfit.

[bold tiger]

so 20 pieces, so possibly 20 keys total?

[delicate tartan]

Hmmm its open world, where you need to go and find special enemies what, how do they look again? Kill they drop key, but which places should i loot to eventually get keys ? I know it was told it will be sort of a bounty location

[high glade]

Possibly, yea. 20 for the 4 outfits, then 6 for the other stuff.

[bold tiger]

said open world dynamic spawns

[oak gazelle]

i think the normal ghillie is something like 3 pieces?

[bold tiger]

so we can't utilize the old "make loot goblin spawn infinitely in this spot and get everything fairly quickly" like we could've with the halloween event

[oak gazelle]

probably something like the kill squad in retal

[bold tiger]

what they mentioned. 4 minions spawns we kill them, we get a krampus bounty. not sure if that bounty is a chance or guaranteeed though

[oak gazelle]

article mentions chance

Defeating the pack gives a chance to spawn a Krampusnacht bounty.

[high glade]

Keys are from:

• Krampusnacht Bounty Completion
• Krampuslauf Named Enemy
• Summit Containers
• Hidden gifts around the D.C. map.

[bold tiger]

didn't read article. only watched a video

[oak gazelle]

-> #td2-general-chat message

[bold tiger]

he could've said chance but i was like oh sparkley eyed at how the krampus looked in the trailer

[delicate tartan]

Summit containers are on each third floor? Loot chest...

[bold tiger]

🤔 wonder if there'll be like a audio cue or some kind of indicator like with the loot goblin?

[high glade]

Honestly sounds similar to the Halloween event. Run around and kill stuff until you find the event mobs and get bounties. 😂

[bold tiger]

i just pray it's not like 4 chainsaw guys

[delicate tartan]

Yes he said its similar but different so maybe more random places, bounty

[bold tiger]

nah, halloween event was easier. find the 3 most popular spots on the map. fast travel walk a bit. nothing spawns, goto the next area. something spawns. kill=> log off and fast travel back to that spot

9/10 they'll spawn in that spot you killed them and logged off at

[high glade]

Well, similar in the fact you're looking for event mobs. Different because it's not tied to loot goblin spawns.

So it really is just open world shenanigans by the sound of it.

[bold tiger]

pretty much, run about and pray you run into them

[delicate tartan]

Maybe they changed since loot goblin location easy...

[high glade]

The little warhounds were common throughout the open world before. I would imagine these event mobs are also fairly common.

[bold tiger]

how do you think some people had so many houndsman bounties stashed up?

[high glade]

Petition for mini warhound skill effect skins. 😂

[bold tiger]

i'm fearing what bell ringer is going to sound like. might be a weapon to just stash forever

[high glade]

Picture the bell ringing emote except in gun form and more rapid. Maybe? XD

[bold tiger]

and loud like the bat vfx

[high glade]

LOL excellent for getting yourself kicked from teams. 🤣

[delicate tartan]

Mini warhounds, and they matchmake random bounty to get keys from other hard earned players, bounty, i will try matchmake random bounty aswell ,+ walk around with others - random open world acitvity

But have to play manhunt first 🙁

[bold tiger]

i solo, so i'll be doing them all alone unless @rugged stratus decides to crash my solo party

taht reminds me, i need to get them backpacks for the collabs

[delicate tartan]

Good luck

[high glade]

Same. I haven't done anything yet. How long we have?

[delicate tartan]

Im done ,27 th january

[rugged stratus]

Well ofc, I need someone to carry me

[high glade]

O that long? Figured it was like 1 week or 2 max lol.

[delicate tartan]

No

[bold tiger]

well, it's guanteed from daily projects

[delicate tartan]

Yes , you have rest, i got lucky on day 1 i was in a group we got all pices from judicary square i think it was

[high glade]

Guess after tomorrow it will be a good time to run around in open world. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

[delicate tartan]

Manhunt first or?

[high glade]

Not for me. Nothing I want from it lol.

[delicate tartan]

Ohja , i do it for the mission, not for loot rewards. But i dont need to play manhunt cause we do get access to it anyway , play manhunt mission on heroic and then master

[high glade]

That's fair. I mostly do raids unless there's some kind of event on that offers nice rewards. 😌

[delicate tartan]

Do you know what hidden gifts mean

[high glade]

I'm guessing it's either random backpacks, lockers, etc., or it's an entirely new item specific to this event.

[delicate tartan]

Hmmm i try to loot everything like weapon chest, gear chest, backpacks, lockers...

[high glade]

Guess we'll see from running around after maintenance haha. It's a surprise!

[delicate tartan]

Im excited, and hope i will manage to complete this event all 5 outfits...+ more

[high glade]

I'm sure most will if they're active players.

[delicate tartan]

Do we have confirmation on a snowy winter world division 2 , we dont have snow this year (in norway)

[high glade]

Should be some decorations at least at the White House. Unsure about open world. Idk if anyone ever said anything about it one way or another.

[delicate tartan]

I just thought maybe, since trailer was with snow or a part from it

[acoustic lark]

how many retaliations can i do in 1 day? is there only 1 per day since there is only 1 project each day for retaliations?

[daring wren]

You can keep triggering them all day if you wanted

[acoustic lark]

oh thats cool, thanks! now I am no longer forced to play decent for reconstructed caches (:

[cold pumice]

Why do Rogue Agents just want to take a big shit on everything -.-

I was just trying to show a friend something lol

[minor ferry]

When not just shooting a boss, Pakhan is better than Bullet King right?

[pseudo tundra]

think it has better overall stats

[cold pumice]

Both are meh

[minor ferry]

Whats the best exotic LMG for striker builds?

[left ravine]

Does it have to be an exotic? I like Pestilence / Iron Lung

[cold pumice]

Best does not always equal exotic.

Abd LMGs arent really best in slot for strikers anyway

[minor ferry]

Im very aware. but im tired of the formulaic using of high end LMGs for striker, wanna switch it up a bit. Doesnt have to be optimal, just has to be the best of the exotic options available for LMGs.

[left ravine]

Before anyone gives you recommendations that you don't like due to your playstyle you should just try what suits you best, I'd say.

[minor ferry]

Thx I will. But im still curious, which one has the highest DPS of the exotic LMGs?

[slim elk]

idk about numbers at all but Iron Lung is lovely

[minor ferry]

for the CC element of the fire? cause the fire DoT ticks are gonna such as far as i know

[slim elk]

you can get an enemy out of cover with the fire it applies and let's you kill them much easier

[minor ferry]

oooo good point

[slim elk]

plus it looks badass

[minor ferry]

cant argue that

[dry pond]

I'm not at my PC so can't check, but I was thinking, is it possible to equip one gear mod one two different pieces if they are in different loadouts?

[minor ferry]

Yes it absolutely is!

[dry pond]

That's amazing, only need a few good gear mods then.

[cold pumice]

Mods saved on kit in a load out will automatically move when the loadout is loaded

[kindred sentinel]

Is this good?

[tribal hemlock]

keep reconfiguring until you get crit chance on the attribute

[blazing axle]

Hmm— I got 192 stars, what’d I use them on?

[blazing axle]

Good work, buddy. 👌

[vale widget]

What difficulty do the SplinterShields time trials need to be done on?

[tribal hemlock]

i dont need anymore exotics so i buy legacy caches

[violet remnant]

this damn wraith hunter isn’t spawning 😇 having so much fun does anybody have any advice

[rugged stratus]

always gonna need exo components. only other i would buy is named if you still need some of the dz exclusives

[rugged stratus]

are they a night time hunter? if so night is 2100-0500 in game time

[violet remnant]

yeah but nothing been working i’ve saluted everywhere near the memorial to trigger it at night

[rugged stratus]

that ones always been a bit bugged. let a day cycle pass and try again.

i would make ge off and no directives just as precaution

season* mods off too

[violet remnant]

would i need to go back to base to turn the season mods off ?

[rugged stratus]

no, you can do all that wherever

[violet remnant]

where would i go

[rugged stratus]

you would hit escape and do what you need to do, location doesnt matter.

[snow cargo]

UGH I made a really detailed ticket for this and something else. Sad...

What's incorrect?
I've been meaning to look at this one and fixed stuff in both things. Thanks.
oh crap... I didn't know a lot of these and changed things to what they were in-game... I'm "fairly" new TU20-TU21 started...

[violet remnant]

i’ll try it right now

[rugged stratus]

night isnt far off so good time to get prepped

[blazing axle]

Oh great

I got a Delta while I was halfway done with a bounty

Anyone else getting those tonight?

[left ravine]

Happens sometimes

[inner tendon]

@honest imp There is no Gearscore anymore, it's just Lvl 1-40 and then your SHD watch now.
happy hunting, Agent!

[blazing axle]

I just got another memento from one of the exotic caches I bought-

[haughty coyote]

I just reached base end game and did the strongholds for the first time. Now onto the invades missions but non went invested to let me progress to unlock invades strongholds any ideas

[sharp osprey]

Did you do capital building when you reached level 30?

[haughty coyote]

Was lvl 39 when did it for the mission the first time. All strongholds are now restricted till I do invaded missions

[sharp osprey]

I would redo capital building on story mode . Usually your level 30,31 or 32 when you do these

[haughty coyote]

I can’t change the setting on it

[sharp osprey]

If you go to your map and hover the icon over the mission hold triangle down and it’ll give you the option to.

[haughty coyote]

Ik that but can’t be changed it’s grayed out

[sharp osprey]

Will it let you reset capital building to story mode? Not the invaded mode, but the regular true son story mode.

[haughty coyote]

No I can’t change mission settings

[sharp osprey]

My next guess would be going to your settings under progression than main missions and see if there’s any missions that you didn’t do.

[fringe herald]

how do you get the concentrated company gear set? i dont see that I'm able to set it as a reward for countdown

[slim elk]

move with WASD all the way down, it's a visual bug but it's at the very bottom of the TL menu

[fringe herald]

thank you

[haughty coyote]

All I have is the projects on that lists

[fringe herald]

am I able to get the pestilence exotic from exotic cache?

[blazing axle]

Huh, that’s weird, I can’t go to Brooklyn?

I bought the expansion already-

“Will transport you to the New York pilot for transportation” But I keep ending up in the White House again?

[sharp osprey]

I’ll be on in about 30 minutes if you haven’t figured it out. Before you can do invade admissions, you have to do the invaded strongholds.

[inner tendon]

@blazing axle There's a second pilot that takes you to Brooklyn, not NYC itself. They're separate maps.
Go to the White House entrance, and instead of going inside, go left and you can see a pilot looking NPC sitting at a table outside.

[honest imp]

oh ok thanks good to know

[violet remnant]

i got it

[blazing axle]

I am currently exploring Brooklyn

I keep finding clothing items (This is a positive)

I just got a Delta on getting a new jacket though (Sadge)

[subtle grove]

What is the difference between skill haste, and repair?

[blazing axle]

Haste applies to it recharging faster

Repair applies to it repair your armor by a set amount

[subtle grove]

Ah. So in order to not Pray for my reviver to come back on, when fighting a experimental warhound, I need to use haste. Thank you

[blazing axle]

Not a problem, repair being up to 50 means it’ll up your armor on revives slightly too

And okay- I can’t explore the area for five minutes anymore

[void token]

is the xp event over too?

[slim elk]

yup

[subtle grove]

I need to know a good build built for like manhunt climaxes, I don't want my ass to die over and over again trying to do one mission

[cold pumice]

Depends on the difficulty. Up to heroic pretty much anything you can throw together is capable.

If you're talking master solo then there are a few routes you can go.

PfE is the most common, since almost all enemies in Master missions are elite you can severely hamper their damage.

But it also depends on the mission, for most master missions you need several builds for various areas since they have alot of different mechanics

But the majority of it is down to taking your time, learning each area and the optimal pathing to use in order to protect yourself from as much damage as possible using the environment and full cover and accepting that while you learn you're going to die. Alot.

[oak gazelle]

6.66GB fantastic evil size 😅

[novel shard]

Nooooooooooo the forbidden number

[novel shard]

A striker build most enemies will be elite or gold so that will help

[subtle grove]

I already have one that does 4.8 mil with the st elmos

[novel shard]

Then you are set for any master mission or for any mission just make sure you have revive hive and a healer drone no shields cause you be distorted when it breaks and you won't have to waste so much armor kits and use survivalist for protection from elites

[spare girder]

Are the servers back?

[inner tendon]

@spare girder #td2-general-chat message

[flat lagoon]

Sorry if this is asked a lot but what time do the servers typically come online after maintenace?

[tepid sierra]

#server-status

[worldly fjord]

Today they're hoping for 5 hours, which should be over in 45 mins

[flat lagoon]

Thanks 🙂

[winter patio]

Are we there yet?

[delicate tartan]

No

[winter patio]

We're there now. In on EU

[neat holly]

Isn't this supposed to be for the raffle winners?!

[worldly fjord]

no thats for 1 extraction

[subtle grove]

What year and month does the division 2 take place??? I've seen it takes place during 2018, but uh... I don't know?

[neat holly]

Oh, I'm stupid

nvm then lol

[neat holly]

I'm almost completely certain it takes place during summer-fall 2016

It's not clearly communicated, but evidence I stand by indicates 2016

[subtle grove]

So... It's Christmas during fall...? Since we go through the events while they don't line up lmao

[neat holly]

The events aren't part of canon
It's just part of it being a live service game lol

The past 3 years of content take place over a couple months in-game

[subtle grove]

Gah damn

[left plinth]

i have to freaking Buy Keys to unlock this?

[neat holly]

No, you can earn them by playing the event

[left plinth]

this is my first christmas so elaborate on how

[oak gazelle]

read the article

[worldly fjord]

its also ours. read the article for more info

[cold pumice]

Aren't you a little young for the division, then?

😏 i'll see myself out

[neat holly]

Ohhhh, these young Div agents who weren’t around for the apparel events 👵

[quick dome]

this is what the presents look like btw

[left plinth]

jesus i just fast travel to free roam and a squad spawned in my face

already got a bounty

[sour haven]

already got the bell ringer :3

does the quickstep drop from the gear caches?

oh, nevermind, i guess it does

[left plinth]

how good is this?

[somber pumice]

That’s pretty much one of the best weapons in the game

Only obtainable normally through Iron Horse, the 8 man raid and requiring multiple weeks (from time gates)

[left plinth]

alrighty then

[spark crater]

lucky bastard

[somber pumice]

You won the lottery essentially

[left plinth]

not what i wanted but i'll take it lol

[tepid sierra]

Ever see someone point a pistol at an NPC's head that caused an explosion? You have that gun now, and you didn't have to Raid to get it.

[past vault]

Has anyone got lucky with winter cache? I got Ouroboros and Regulus back to back

Saw another post above seems like this cache has very high of getting one

[left plinth]

back to back lol

[past vault]

Yea first cache, ourobors, I thought no way I could get another, Regulus came out

[left plinth]

are these krampus squad just spawn at random?

[left ravine]

Loot goblin spawn locations and randomly too they said

[left plinth]

yeap theyre random

[somber pumice]

@tribal hemlock do you still have clip of you doing Manning opener with Regulus

(it can be the raw dog miss one too but im talking about the success one)

[left ravine]

@candid sapphire

[somber pumice]

honestly 8% is omega solid, considering the raids are 10%

[inner tendon]

You do run the risk of getting an Eagle Bearer though, so there's a downside too.

[somber pumice]

also my word these krampus squads, ive been assaulted 4-5 times walking to CP

do these stack like houndsman or am i wasting them by not going after the first Krampussnatch i see?

[inner tendon]

Bounties stack, you should be good.
assuming they're dropping them of course, it's only a chance.

[desert thunder]

Is there any way to optimize gear mods in the last 12 hours? I ran six countdown missions and two 100 floors of summit on heroic and I still haven't gotten any 13% protection from elites or maxed out crit hit damage or crit chance mods

[left plinth]

pretty sure there isnt any ways to optimize Gear Mods

[inner tendon]

Not in the last 12 hours, or before that either.

[oblique tree]

I'm getting this when trying to start the freakin game! I did NOT start 2 copies of the game so WTF is this?

[desert thunder]

lol not straight but yesterday. I just woak up

[inner tendon]

@desert thunder What?

@oblique tree Before you do anything, restart your PC. Sounds like the game tried to open twice.

[left plinth]

what exactly is this SMG good about? the Talents looks pretty useless

[inner tendon]

Pure fire-rate is its big thing, it basically doesn't have a Talent.

But most of the time, you're better off with a gold w/ a decent Talent.

[oblique tree]

🤧 I'm getting sick tired of this bull----!

[tepid sierra]

the stauts effect you get hit with, will give you 50% of the ammo as that effect

[inner tendon]

Remember the first rule of solving computer problems: restart the PC.

second rule is: update all drivers.

[desert thunder]

Nope kick and hit it lol

[inner tendon]

Inadvisable if you're paying for your own hardware.

[left ravine]

Don't farm for those, you will lose your sanity

[desert thunder]

I need them lol

[left ravine]

Nah you don't

12% is perfectly fine tho

[desert thunder]

My ocd kicked in hahaha

[left ravine]

Believe when I suggest to not to farm for them :p

Especially if you seem "burnt out" after only six CDs and two floor 100 runs

Just play the game on high difficulty and they'll drop randomly eventually

[cold pumice]

Over 1,000 hours. I have exactly 5 maxed rolled mods. And 3 of them are skill haste.

Don't farm specifically for them

[left ravine]

Why so few??

[tired verge]

someone didnt do the meatball ritual for rng

[left ravine]

Lol

[cold pumice]

They drop where they drop, i've bever farmed for them.

1% doesnt make a difference anyway in most situations.

[left ravine]

I mean CHC and CHD max rolls drop fairly often I was under the impression

[tired verge]

i didnt do the ritual either

i only have one 13% PFE

[left ravine]

Yeah that darn RNG

[tired verge]

updating my gpu rn

[desert thunder]

See I thought that's the whole point of the summit is when you do heroic with say five objectives that chances are increased on all the good stuff dropping. Is it not?

[left plinth]

What's worth getting in the current event gear box aside from the Exotics since I already got them all

[left ravine]

Five directives in heroic Summit isn't that much in regards of increased drops. Try legendary Summit, that's where I got a bunch 13% PfE mods from

[somber pumice]

if you care about the proficiency system you can go after the rest of the rarer named items inside the caches then have them for whatever events. If not probably start nabbing apparel as you already got the best Exotic out of the gear cache

[keen pelican]

Survival Fest 2 days draw rewards selected? I got the gold patch.

[vapid belfry]

can anyone help me please

with accounts on pc

i bought div2 on steam and the steam is linked to ubisoft account my brother how to play game on my acccount ubisoft

[pseudo tundra]

at this point contact support, you have link for ubi support on #rules

[neat matrix]

does anyone have an extra quick step?

cause i missed out on the houndmaster

[left ravine]

You cannot share items directly; you would have to do the bounty with someone who still has some

Alternatively grind this event now, it can drop from those caches too

[neat matrix]

ahh ok thank you

[delicate tartan]

Hello

[spark raft]

Screenshot of presents for the winter event in the event that nobody has seen one

[bold fulcrum]

So is there like a map showing where all 40 presents are exactly?

[delicate tartan]

Ohja now i understand,

[quasi cloud]

random locations?

[spark raft]

I'm pretty sure they're set

Kind of like that one older christmas event where you had to find gifts for the Santa suit

But...more of them lol

[bold fulcrum]

is there like map of where all the presents located?

[spark raft]

Not yet

[bold fulcrum]

shit

[spark raft]

Well, we can all make one, no need to wait for a content creator to do it for us

[bold fulcrum]

the best i can say is there are only 2 green presents around the christmas stalls facing the white house here

[left ravine]

Damn, how many minions does Krampus have, lol

[bold fulcrum]

around 4 to 5

[left ravine]

Think I had like 8? Not sure, I'll count next time

[spark raft]

Is there a reason why I get a Krampus mask after every bounty completion (This is my fifth now)

[desert thunder]

Maybe they want to make sure that people get it even if they didn't get it. But they did get it. You know what I'm saying you get it 😂

[shell wraith]

is there a limit to how manby people you can mute?

[left ravine]

Does anyone get the prompt to skip while opening the cache or, like me, after it's already been opened? lol
I like the animation but I'd like to skip it at some point which seems not possible

[desert thunder]

On what?

[delicate tartan]

I cant find any presents where are they located,

[left ravine]

Keep looking

[delicate tartan]

You know where?

[shell wraith]

chat, in game

[left ravine]

Xmas markets and small xmas areas scattered across the city

[delicate tartan]

Where is the christmas market i forgot

[shell wraith]

there's one south of BOO

[desert thunder]

I dont think there is a limit

[left ravine]

and west of DUA

[delicate tartan]

Boo?

[shell wraith]

base of operations, the white house

[left ravine]

Base of operations, White House

[delicate tartan]

🙂

[shell wraith]

just ran around two markets and didnt find any presents

[spark raft]

You guys really want us to have the Rigger set, huh?

[shell wraith]

it's because it's targeted loot, it'll change tomorrow

they are small.

[delicate tartan]

Do i have to find all presents, i would like to focus on keys but

[shell wraith]

disregard this, im stupid. this is the hunter puzzle present

[river plaza]

Is the marker for how many items from the appearance caches you’ve gotten broken?

[spark raft]

I know I'm just joshing

I had no expertise in the rigger set and within an hour and a half I finished it

Super hard to look for presents with a perpetual thunderstorm

[solid igloo]

Are there links to the current gear spreadsheet/weapon calculator pinned anywhere in the server?

edit: found the gear spreadsheet pin in build advice

[spark raft]

If you're having trouble thinking of places to search for presents, google the solutions to the past christmas event (The scavenger hunt one)

They're not in the exact same place, but those projects were hidden in Christmas-themed areas

[shell wraith]

here's what the christmas presents look like btw. you have to shoot them.

i was running around looking for a box to open, so i hope the screenshot helps

[delicate tartan]

They are rather big but locations are difficult to find cause of a lot of presents

[spark raft]

Everywhere I have found a present, one of these has been in proximity

I wonder if there's an undocumented "Shoot the santas to get something" kind of deal going on

I've been shooting them just in case

[spark raft]

Where is this located?

[desert thunder]

So it seems like all the Christmas presents are at the statues or monuments

[delicate tartan]

Ok thanks for the clue

[desert thunder]

Well looking at the pictures that people been posting they're always at the statues

[spark raft]

I've found two int he doorways of christmas-decorated buildings, one of them by grand washington hotel

[desert thunder]

And that picture was taken behind the White House in the park

[delicate tartan]

I did not regognize but, great

[spark raft]

Two presents on the south side of the Abel Shopping Plaza, by the Grand Washington Hotel. One present in the doorways of each corner of the building

[half karma]

present location: merry go around south-west of Sinkhole

present location: horse statue, north of white house

[desert thunder]

It sucks that when you give resources to a checkpoint everything else is highlighted. That's lootable except for the gift box

[half karma]

i can't find this one

present location: Brick Buildling, North East of Fallen Cranes Control Point

[delicate tartan]

I thought the highlighted backpacks, and other that gives us resourches , would be cause of winter event but, i agree presents should glow...

[dusky granite]

I'd like the next update with the new True Sons members to recruit: sniper, grenadier, machine gunner, and immobilizer. Must be male and female!

[spark raft]

The south east and south west corners of this shopping mall have presents

[half karma]

present location: building on Pennsylvania Ave NW, just past the statue

at least the presents aren't impossible to find

[desert thunder]

But it'd be nice if you donate resources to a checkpoint that the presence would get highlighted too as a searchable item cuz I guarantee you that would have been a whole lot easier

[half karma]

yeah for sure

[half karma]

oh yep, just found one

[wheat stag]

is this a good weapon

[delicate tartan]

Yes

[inner tendon]

@wheat stag Otherwise Raid exclusive, so it's rare.
"good" is debatable.

[half karma]

present location:
abel shopping plaza, building directly east of the Final Ephiphany safe house

[delicate tartan]

Congrats

[wheat stag]

Ty

[wheat stag]

why isnt it good?

[inner tendon]

It's more of a PvP gun than anything, and most content you'll run in div2 is PvE related.

[half karma]

wonder where else i should check

[wheat stag]

i guess i gotta start trying pvp then

A little more efficient than dumping it here

Spamming here can also make the auto-mod dislike you, and you don't want it to dislike you.

We love a mega-thread here.

[fading olive]

crazy

[desert thunder]

Here's another location so I think we get the gists of where the presents are located at. Usually any place that's Christmas themed or monuments

[inner tendon]

@desert thunder Feel free to add it to the mega-thread over on reddit, there's a 📌 pin for it.

[desert thunder]

Thank you

[spark raft]

Just remembered: There's a huge christmas type village around the Jefferson Trade Center, I think on the back side or somewhere around it

[tepid sierra]

Or put it in the stash box so you'll have it on the wall in the Range Room.

[half karma]

does anyone else think that this door to Demolition Site control point is meant to be open?

[delicate tartan]

I try to donate winter keys but not working why?

[spark raft]

Can you be so kind as to share where this is?

[inner tendon]

@spark raft Check the pin 📌 in this channel.

[wispy merlin]

inb4 new master location

[spark raft]

That present is not listed in the subreddit. That's why I was hoping to find out from the person who found it

[half karma]

it's just always seemed strange to me that there's only one entrance for Demo Site, except the underground tunnel on that side

[shell wraith]

it's near DUA, head west straight down the road under the spiral statue thing

if you're heading west down the road it'll be on the right at an intersection in front of a building

I got 14 keys, this screenshot is making me question why I am holding on to them for the apparel event

First cache: Huntsman, not bad considering I missed that event. Came in at the tail end

[left ravine]

Depends on what you want first

[spark raft]

3 Nemesis and a chatter box, the rest named items I already had

[south umbra]

I used 2 keys

[past vault]

lmao

[south umbra]

Was crazy RNG

[spark raft]

Compromised account

[spark raft]

You must be a content creator.

[slim elk]

@rugged stratus

[south umbra]

Just a random guy enjoying the game I don’t stream 😂

[bold fulcrum]

why can't i receive the last 4 descent coms? ever since crossorads, my descent coms were at 101/105 here and even when i played descent the game wont hand me the last 4 coms. is this a bug or something?

[spark raft]

It's all good, I have 5 Krampus bounties stacked, I usually get a couple of keys from there on top of the one from completion

[spark raft]

I'm kidding man, gratz

[south umbra]

I know but thank you!

I got bent over during stretch goals so that made up for it

[spark raft]

Yeah I did too

I at least got the Lexington from Stretch though, so that was nice

[nimble spruce]

Descent is currently dropping specific comms each week - if the current week's ones are those you already have, you won't get anything. Check #td2-descent as someone usually posts there which ones are dropping.

[last eagle]

Just wanted to say thank you to the ppl that shared there present location I have full Santa outfit thanks you lovely community 💖💖

[shell wraith]

how many premium credits do the apparel caches cost?

[left ravine]

100 per key

[weak finch]

How are you getting the krampus bounty? Killed 2 squads of minions, no bounty

[inner tendon]

@weak finch It's a random drop from them, gotta keep going.

[left ravine]

They have a chance to drop

8% per minion kill

[supple bane]

gratz. its good but not as good as it was. iirc you need to get it to proficiency 30 to get the damage back to prenerf

[tough bear]

Where are the best locations to find krampus kill squads? The only two that's been working for is right in front of DCD and the main checkpoint of the south DZ.

Well... south DZ, but also sometimes the kill squads immediately despawn for whatever reason.

[south umbra]

BANG

[south umbra]

DCD has been my best spot or outside district union

[winter mason]

Both vendors aren't wearing festive clothes which sucks :/

[left ravine]

They're burnt out from handing out so many caches, no festive mood :p

[spark raft]

I decided not to focus on the raid exotics, just grind keys for the apparel event...had two keys left over. This was the first of my last two keys

[gleaming wigeon]

Any idea why the Lexington is not shareable on the Krampus cashes but other items are? 🤔

[spark raft]

Might have something to do with the type of weapon it is. It may have some kind of classification in an item DB that prevents it from being shared regardless of where it's obtained from

[gleaming wigeon]

Kind of annoying as I have 8 and I'm trying to get my friend their 1st

[spark raft]

If it is because of some kind of classification, best way to get them a Lexington will be caches

Do they have bad RNG?

[gleaming wigeon]

Definitely 😂

[half karma]

has anyone got a tier sheet for getting better with the Shroud exotic? I still just dont;' get the tiers and need something to look at till i get it

[half karma]

ty ty

[left ravine]

@valid bronze published that, idk where it's from. Credit to the agent who made it

[half karma]

i wish they made it a bit easier to use the Shroud, like it's fine to know the enemy tiers but would be cool to just have something when you're scoped in

[left ravine]

Same with OvD but reverse. You'll get used to it if you play with those items for a while

[half karma]

kinda like with the Diamondback how that marks the enemy to kill for the random dmg applied on them

[left ravine]

But, with Overdogs it doesn't really matter; you can not stick to the hierarchy and get a nice damage bonus when you do

[tribal hemlock]

It was made by @strange harbor

[left ravine]

Gotcha!

[tepid sierra]

Got a notification that I got the Bronze patch when donating, but the patch seems to be missing

[bold tiger]

apparently the 40 green box presents gives winter keys as a chance

[clear hedge]

Guys how do you get keys to open the gear box in winter even i keep getting only winter keys

[left ravine]

Go to the WH event vendor

There you can redeem apparel caches, item caches and donate for the community goal

https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/the-division/the-division-2/news-updates/5vvrJVmcwiPIY8VyzMBsco/the-division-2-winter-event-2025

[clear hedge]

Still all my friends don't have keys to open the box it has exotics and name items

We already did donations and claimed every item from the event

[left ravine]

Are you saying you opened item caches but didn't get the items you want?

[clear hedge]

There's a box just for named items ans exotics

[left ravine]

Sorry, gear cache, not item cache

[clear hedge]

Yed

From where you gets keys for it

[left ravine]

I just posted the link with the event description above your first message. There, everything is explained in detail

[pseudo tundra]

it's the same as the other boxes

only apparel has the option to buy exclusive apparel keys

so people dont go crazy gambling real money to get exotics

[clear hedge]

I look in every where how to open it the only way i saw only paying

[left ravine]

The keys are the same for all three options

But yeah you cannot buy Gear Cache keys with money

[clear hedge]

Than it must be glitched because we have lots of winter keys and not opening any gear box

[left ravine]

I am not sure what exactly you are trying to say, sorry

You have keys but you cannot open caches, is that correct?

[clear hedge]

Only the 1st box

[left ravine]

Idk, I haven't heard anything about that. Do you know how to create a support ticket with Ubisoft? Perhaps it is a bug that should be reported

[clear hedge]

Yeah, i think I'll contact them because the 2nd box it's show zero keys to open while we have lots of winter keys

But thanks for the effort mych appreciate

[left ravine]

Np, good luck with this

Oh damn, look what is present now!

Beacon blueprint too 👏

[jaunty tide]

Do normal loot goblin spots drop the bounty?

[inner tendon]

The Loot Goblin does not drop the bounty, it has to be from the Krampus Kill Squad itself.
but yeah, you can go to DZ south.

[coral surge]

Hi everyone, what is the last 3 gear sets and last 5 weapons that were released including exotics?

[jaunty tide]

Is the bounty only found on dz ? Lot of cheaters in asia.

[valid bronze]

@strange harbor

[inner tendon]

@jaunty tide What? No, you can go to the DZ south entrance and walk back into the LZ, and the kill team has a high chance to spawn.

[valid bronze]

I take 0 credit

[jaunty tide]

Thanks

[inner tendon]

Another fast spot is go to the start of DUA, turn around and walk straight ahead.
but fair warning about that one: more than once they've spawned inside a locked building.

[weak finch]

How do I "save" a bounty? Whenever I pick the krampus one, it starts right away

[inner tendon]

If you start another one, then just let it run out its timer and go farm Krampus ones.
Trick works great when you're farming open world activities for your SHD.

[weak finch]

Thanks mother

Btw if youre farming minions, try Lincoln Memorial mission, has never failed me so far

[karmic compass]

I finished the apparel part of the event, have 25/25 items. I received a notification that I am being given a present, and one shows in the screenshot below, but where is it? How do I open it?

[left ravine]

It shows your one present

You need to find 39 more to get an armpatch I believe it was

[karmic compass]

Oh, I thought the armpatches were for donating keys

[left ravine]

One second

Sorry, it is a commendation called "Present Peeker Distinction" apparently

Each of those presents to be found is supposed to have a 20% chance for keys too

If you don't wish to go find all by yourself, check this place:
#ask-td2-community message

[karmic compass]

But I can't open a present?

[left ravine]

Not that one. The ones you find in the OW you have to shoot for them to count, those drop loot

[karmic compass]

Ah gotcha. Thank you

[subtle grove]

Is the eagle bearer good for a strikers?

[inner tendon]

Not really, no.

It's more of a PvP focused gun than anything.

[subtle grove]

Ah, okay... I guess I'll still use it so I can flex lmao

[desert thunder]

You know what would have been cool being that Christmas season is that our companion would only say one thing and one thing only and that would be yippee. Ki-yay m*********** from die hard. Bruce Willis

[nocturne siren]

It's not bad on a 4 PC striker + Ceska oblit + nimble holster build. But it is better as a PVP weapon yes

[proper basalt]

So, is it a guarantee winter key drop when taking down Krampus? If so I have yet to receive one yet today. And keys are not dropping much from his minions.

Also, is there a way to make my recruit follow orders or have him not stand still or even getting in the way of me firing my weapons. I mean the guy just walks in front of me firing my weapon and headshots.

When I try to get a new recruit he never changes it’s always the assault recruit even though it says I’ve recruited a new guy.

Any advice would be great

[left ravine]

They bug out a lot so I turned them off to benefit from these bonuses. That would be my advice

[gleaming glen]

Is there a tunnel under DCD headquarters or is this Krampus spawn just bugged?

[grizzled sequoia]

got 2 regulus lmao then EB

[left ravine]

I'd only like a God roll Bell Ringer 🥲

[desert thunder]

What I don't understand is they got everything during the event except for God roll mod chips. But you will come across a god role Bellringer

[left ravine]

At this pace a good amount of the community will have all these special items soon, maybe your idea isn't far fetched. They'd need more items if they plan to continue these events. Otherwise people possibly lose interest.

[copper zodiac]

Is Turmoil only good for Pesti or is there another purpose.

[pine void]

I spotted agents wearing a Santa outfit. How do I get that?

[gleaming glen]

Pretty sure you can get the Santa outfit pieces from the presents around the map

[left ravine]

Open world presents.

#ask-td2-community message

[pastel grail]

Hello, I have a question regarding this

Does this mean I can't put any armor whatsoever during the boss fight or the entire mission?

[desert thunder]

yes

whloe mission

[pastel grail]

oh

[left ravine]

You aren't allowed to heal yourself with an armor kit, for the whole mission

[desert thunder]

There's some there where you can't lose any of your armor like if you break your armor you don't get the patch

[pastel grail]

oh okay it was for the gunner quest

[desert thunder]

Then that case just don't use armor kits. So run your something that's going to heal you or fix your armor

Like the repair drone

[candid verge]

or you can use a gun with preservation talent, so it repairs your armor when killing an enemy, even as secondary and you switch when you need to repair your armor and kill some enemy, then switch back to primary 🤔

[viscid depot]

does anyone found a present in foggy bottom?

[desert thunder]

Yes here is a link https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/s/tUTpZ5kZ8C

[viscid depot]

non of them are in foggy bottom

[desert thunder]

They're usually by monuments or where there's Christmas theme things going on

[viscid depot]

yh i have 39 out of 40 but none found in foggy bottom wich is weird

[bold tiger]

Once you get some headhunter stacks you get 2 for 1 headsets. Even if you shoot non armored and an armored is close to it

[minor crag]

Gotta get an updated list of locations since I've got no contact on Div2 Youtubers' progress

[subtle grove]

How long till I get another krampuslauf group come at me?

[bold tiger]

who knows

[cold pumice]

Use gunner for 10% aok, preservation on gun for another, and pallisade sw piece.

30% AOK total. Ez

[subtle grove]

Is the chatterbox good for a strikers? Got it from a winter chest

[slim elk]

yeah, would 100% use it on HF instead

[subtle grove]

HF???

[slim elk]

hunters fury

[subtle grove]

Ah, alright...

[sour haven]

can the EB roll DTOOC?

[slim elk]

yes, any exo weapon except lmgs

[sour haven]

okay bet

[subtle grove]

Could someone pass me a good non exotic HF build? My phone can't open the spreadsheet for some odd reason (it's old asf)

[fierce garden]

You accept gear sets ?

I use this one on heroic try it

[subtle grove]

Thanks man, I see that you have a quarter blue, and alot of red

[slim elk]

those gloves are exotic btw

[fierce garden]

Im trying to get the savage wolverine so

[slim elk]

I don't think that's possible IIRC

[fierce garden]

It is on the firewall

[subtle grove]

I think I can replace them with some good red gloves

[fierce garden]

If you dont have any red gloves use česka výroba

Alright, got it

[fierce garden]

Its solid build i did krampus 2 times on heroic

And whats in those presents

Just points or gear ?

[snow cargo]

I wouldn't recommend them.

[snow cargo]

almost anything is viable up to solo heroic doesn't mean it's good.

[quasi cloud]

“Shooting these has a 20% chance of dropping a winter key, guarantees a named item, and legacy apparel from previous events. There's also a commendation for shooting 40 of them.”

[fierce garden]

I use it on heroic and i melt

Thats why im trying to get lexington or savage wolwerine

[inner tendon]

@quasi cloud Would you say that's more useful for this event than the current pin?

[snow cargo]

Trust that doesn't melt, it works tho.
Savage Wolverine P. Talent isn't really that good. Killer talent is far better.

[inner tendon]

The current pin seems less useful overall, lemme know which is the best one and I'll change it if need be.

[oak gazelle]

the map from @quasi cloud isn't really accurate, some X markings are a bit off from their real location and keeps people searching
I'll just wait for now

[inner tendon]

Fair fair, someone let whatever mod is active know when the final good one is done, we'll swap it out.

[quasi cloud]

Np, I think there’s gunna be an updated one soon

[fierce garden]

40% damage from 7 meters on 10sec isn’t good ? Nah that’s perfect

[cold pumice]

Its additive weapon damage and you don't want to be within 7m of an enemy using an AR

[snow cargo]

that's not that good again. If you don't know how this works you're have a lot to learn still.

[left plinth]

1 of the Krampus gang dropped this, is it any good?

[tender aspen]

kinda niche

[left plinth]

boooo

[worldly fjord]

Pretty much an F tier exotic

[lucid yew]

How do I replace assault companion

[nimble spruce]

Change active modifier from the modifier menu in the inventory

[lucid yew]

It won't let me, it says recruit true sons defector but I can't

[nimble spruce]

Hmm, so you've done the initial mission to recruit the first guy but it won't let you recruit any others?

You've travelled around the safe house trying to recruit other types? Sometimes it won't show the button prompt but holding it down should work regardless.

Btw please don't spam the same question in several channels, you'll just waste people's time giving duplicate answers

[lucid yew]

Yes I've done all that but the journey mission 4 "Replace your assault companion" isn't completed after replacing my assault companion with medic.

[nimble spruce]

So is the medic actually following you around now or did you just recruit one?

[lucid yew]

It's following me

I changed it through modifiers menu

Still not registering through journey mission 4

[nimble spruce]

Ok, so it's a journey bug specifically. Maybe try recruiting/swapping to an engineer companion?

Also try recruiting a different assault companion to overwrite the one you currently have

Just jump around the safe houses, they keep spawning new ones so it's very easy to find more

[tough bear]

PvP use, negligible effect in pve

[lucid yew]

It worked thanks a lot

[fierce garden]

For heartbreaker build its pretty good when elites run to me with shotguns

And its another reason why i need the savage wolwerine for higher rpm

Dude look im only shd 366 or smth ofc i wont have a good builds when i just recently learnt how to build

[nocturne siren]

Literally Nego + Tipping + Striker would outperform what you have on for heartbreaker. Your lack of crits, considering your watch level as well, will have you melting things in between "sometime" and "eventually". My girlfriend is only shd 256 and her striker build with only 2 blues melts just as quick as a min-maxed heartbreaker build. And she's at a lower level and has a very unoptimized build than you do

Heroic is a community standard yes, but any build can do heroic

[tough bear]

Dont worry about validation, if you’re comfortable with what you’re using AND are clearing things out, keep going

[nocturne siren]

It's less about validation and more about providing feedback to improve their gameplay

[lucid yew]

How do I complete scout week 2 objective 3? It says I need to save civilians but every true sons hostage activity I do is not counting

[nocturne siren]

Look for hostage rescue instead

Pretty sure it needs to be green handcuffs and not the red hostage icon

[lucid yew]

Thank you that makes sense

[nocturne siren]

Thank Ubisoft for leaving incorrect definitions in the game

[snow cargo]

and I am trying to help you by telling you that talents isn't great.
I did not judge your build by any mean I just gave a comment of there is better out there.

[fierce garden]

Im 100%

[fierce garden]

I understand that but im saying im 100% comfortable with this because if i melt right away where is the fun

[snow cargo]

Seeing things melt is fun

[somber pumice]

Do note that if Savage Wolverines talent is just weapon damage the same way you get from red cores it’s just streamline but worse essentially

[fierce garden]

Well should i farm for lexington instead ?

[somber pumice]

So if the goal is heartbreaker a gun with Measured/streamline and a technician pulse will do just as well

[nocturne siren]

"melt right away" but isn't taking flatline at all, doesn't have crit attributes probably except for crit mods, likely not even touching near 50/55 CHC and definitely not even breaking 80 CHD. "Melting" he says

[snow cargo]

"Melting"

[lucid yew]

The definitions suck like ubisoft

[fierce garden]

I like to see them suffer slowly

And i have chatterbox aswell i just dont use it

[snow cargo]

Fire suffering

[fierce garden]

Skill tier is so ahh

I dont like using skills at all

I dont mean any bad

[snow cargo]

Trust I don't care.

[fierce garden]

Ok

[fierce garden]

Can i do the savage wolverine in firewall while having equipped technician ?

[snow cargo]

I can go on with this.

No reason you can't. But you're just not hear any of us and why that talent just sucks.

[fierce garden]

I dont care about the talents

I mostly rely only on rpm and damage

[snow cargo]

Talents are what any build powerful.

[nocturne siren]

Talents are the Core of a build. If you have a shit talent, it's what will make or break it. Talents need to synergize to play well. Sure what you have does probably work but you can make a fun build better by optimizing it to the best you can get out of it. Don't just pay attention to only damage and RPM

[snow cargo]

Do what you want. You were showing and saying something that was incorrect and I wanted to state some facts. If don't care in the end well that's that.

[fierce garden]

Im ok with this build and im gonna keep using it its my opinion so respect it

[snow cargo]

I don't need to respect it. I don't respect people sharing false/incorrect information that's it.

[fierce garden]

Ok

If it works it works im not taking the game serious because its not my living i only want to have fun from it

[snow cargo]

Again I didn't say anything against your build or your playstyle at all..

[fierce garden]

And i mostly copy the builds from the YouTube so this was lucky build i found to be easy

And its enough for me i mostly hide than run and shoot thats all i do

[nocturne siren]

That fully makes sense why the build is the way it is. YouTube is full of false information in the div space

[fierce garden]

I think its decent build for heroic

[nocturne siren]

Take it to legendary. See how it does then

[snow cargo]

Well let's not go there...

[fierce garden]

Not available in world tier settings

[nocturne siren]

Again like we have been saying, heroic is an easy bar to accomplish

Any build can do heroic

[snow cargo]

I am stating again... Almost anything is viable up to Solo Heroic. Doesn't mean it's good.

[fierce garden]

Sorry that i suck but rng for me just sucks

[snow cargo]

Did not say that.. You're taking this all wrong.

We're trying to give advice/help you and you're just pushing back.

[nocturne siren]

I have zero patience given what I've got going on so chow I'm gonna sit this one out and try to choke down breakfast since it's day 1 without my buddy here

[fierce garden]

You understood that wrong ( i said im okay with your advice but i dont want it )

[snow cargo]

To a degree it's fine but you're wanting or needing to try to defend yourself more.

[fierce garden]

Not at all

[snow cargo]

You are.... I still haven't gonna against you about your build...

[fierce garden]

If its enough its enough i dont care if its wrong if it works it works its the only working build i had in a wild dude

[snow cargo]

I never said anything was wrong with your build other than it's could be better.

[fierce garden]

Well im working on it i play the game daily trying to get better loot

[snow cargo]

And we can show how to get loot better and faster.

But you don't care so I'll end this here since it's just a waste of time.
GL Agent and HF!

[fierce garden]

I play summit and allat on heroic and honestly the rng sucks and if i want to replace things in the table it mostly says impossible to replace only optimization available

[cold pumice]

You can only replace one stat on any item, once you do all others are locked

[fierce garden]

I dont need your advice never asked for one i just showed my build told you its good enough )

[fierce garden]

Well yea atleast you understand it

[somber pumice]

Off topic but @nocturne siren I finally set up bittersweet properly, consistent 5 mil ish head shots

[fierce garden]

Nice

[somber pumice]

It’s nothing game breaking but pretty fun for open world/masters. once you get it going you’ll have a field day with just about anything not lego I’m sure

I haven’t tried it on legendary tho

[snow cargo]

I have had a few idea about it but I need to get into hand and feel how that auto HS works.

[somber pumice]

It’s as it sounds, once you have the stacks you need to hit something that can be healed then for the entire duration of the buff draining its head shot + free restack. I haven’t shot actual humans with it so no clue on the repair skills

Def recommend some weapon handling tho it does kick quite a bit when you spam it

[snow cargo]

Ya that's a M1a for you

OMG soo many caches... First time loading in since patch

[fierce garden]

Lmg ?

[somber pumice]

I ran a crit set up for it but I think you’ll get better mileage out of HSD and extra handling. It’s so crit starved even Ceska and multiple pieces with crit didn’t really cut it

[snow cargo]

Ya that my same thought too.

I'll mess with it once I get it.

I'm more than sure you could do something viable for leggo butttt.... Ya there some caveats to that idea.

[somber pumice]

Swapping weapons drops the buff and stacks instantly (as usual) and I think exiting combat also resets it. But in actual combat you can hold onto it as long as you want and refresh even on 0 head targets

As long as you don’t hit something that can be “healed” the buff won’t start ticking

[nocturne siren]

I finally got beacon. I get to maybe play 1 day or 2 days a week. It's been a very slow grind

I honestly like beacon. I finally got the galvanized + vanguard build put together for my partner so the extra 2% Regen on top of her 3% Regen is super nice for both of us

[somber pumice]

I feel that brother, I just got lucky my group are constantly hounding for bounties and loves seasonal so I’ve just passively gotten all of the journeys despite getting on maybe two three nights a week.

Beacon is nice for that squad leader RP, I chuck it on CoCo and just vibe. My dudes all huddle near me since they want that free crit damage (dog I could use coyotes and not force you to do this too but lmao)

[nocturne siren]

I even had her run coyote striker and honestly it works decent

I thought a DPS talent was needed for the chest on a simple striker build. It honestly really wasn't. Keep in mind, we only play heroic or lower. She doesn't have the motor skills yet to play Leggo or Mastery. She's still got a very long way to go

[somber pumice]

I wish beacon stacked the ally and skill bonus, would honestly make it one of the better early game exotics to have for newbies

[nocturne siren]

I can see why they didn't do that. It would be a little OP if so. Think about how it would act in pvp

Whatever changes get made in PvE, it makes pvp even more unbalanced. They did leave it to half effectiveness for pvp as opposed to pve, which was a good move

[somber pumice]

I honestly forgot that game mode existed 💀

[nocturne siren]

Most do 😂 it's in a bad state rn. I'm hoping when we get survivors, we get the pvp balancing update they're talking highly about

I wanna come back to pvp but not at the cost of my sanity 🙏

[lime crypt]

how many gift box in open field?

[tough bear]

ah see, im amused by myself because i was with you, and then im now not with you, though im still with you with wanting comfortable loadouts but at the same time they have to do damage

"does your loadout deal satisfactory dps?" -> "can you and your team live long enough to deal that dps?" -> whatever is comfortable to you within that meta

its why the cookie cutter st elmo/striker/crusader shield/reviver hive combo is so prevalent

[royal briar]

Alright sooooo...:

1. How likely is it to find winter keys in summit crate (or whatever is the fastest way to grind those)?

2. What do the Presents you have to collect look like and where do you find them?

[tough bear]

i think there were reddit threads posted very recently that can answer these two, i think this one should answer your second ask

https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/1pojr51/christmas_gift_locations/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

aha, here's the other one for the drop rates
https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/1pnzese/psa_winter_event_drop_chances_for_keys_bounties/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[leaden crag]

So am I wrong here but … the live stream made it sound like we were gonna get apparel keys and winter keys

Are we just getting the one key ?

[royal briar]

Apparel keys are the ones you have to buy with premium currency

[leaden crag]

Oh damn those don’t even drop ?

So to get all the styles it’s about 25 bucks ?

[supple bane]

the purchased ones can only be used for apparel caches
the earned ones can be used for apparel caches, loot caches or donated

[royal briar]

Exactly! Or you can kill one Million Krampuslop squads (Which you might have recognised from the initials, is just an asset reused Kill Squad) to get a singular winter key for one of the 25 cosmetics.

[leaden crag]

Ah ok gotcha I’ll have to look at the styles to see if there’s even anything in there they I want

Wasn’t here for the Halloween seasonal so kinda bummed I missed out on the red “Rambo” style head band

[half karma]

does anyone know when the presents reset? me and my friends checked each of our worlds and friend 1 had presents fresh, but when we went to friend 2's world they were still popped

i had picked up all the presents earlier in my own world but they had all refreshed for me in friend 1's world

[oak gazelle]

I don't think they will reset, but you can shoot them again or log onto another char

[half karma]

ah rip

[lucid yew]

How do I get techline

[spark raft]

It's the engineer companion

If you've not found one, jump from safe house to safehouse, you'll find one

[lucid yew]

Thanks I'll try that

[spark raft]

I killed a stalker hunter...

Jumped off the roof of where he was hiding, big mistake

[coral surge]

what brand name is the chest that gives 5% fire rate, and 50% magazine size and 20% ar damage?

[charred shore]

Unit alloy

[coral surge]

ty ty

just to be sure I checked the map and it is not in the loot drop today right?

[pseudo tundra]

sometimes it can be on NY or brooklyn

if not on the map alwasy countdown or summit for it

[coral surge]

ty ty

[subtle grove]

so, as long as I donate 1 key, i can still get the krampus fit or...?

[delicate tartan]

Whats hunter- killer ?

I searched golan gear brand perfect intimidate?

[spark raft]

It's the chest you get from the off-white keys from the New York hunters

[delicate tartan]

Is it golan

[spark raft]

Yes

[delicate tartan]

Perefct intimidate?

[spark raft]

Yup

[delicate tartan]

Nice

[hybrid plover]

anyone know the last 2 location for gift ? ( Green circle )
I manage to get most of them but these 2 location give me headache literally

[coral surge]

does it matter if I play on lower or higher difficulty to get winter keys?

[nocturne siren]

im pretty sure the key farm rn is play on normal. complete most of the bounty, let krampus kill you. reset

[coral surge]

ah thx thx good idea

I just came back to the game , I haven't played in a about 1 year

[worldly fjord]

There's one missing in west end and west potomac park

[worldly fjord]

(Ignore the red circle)

[nocturne siren]

any good way to farm for the krampus bounty?

[cold pumice]

KIll everyone, loot everything, do every activity.

[nocturne siren]

just got it 👍

i heard the method is play the bounty on normal? let krampus kill you and reset?

[spark raft]

That's the 🧀 method but it works super well

Currently doing it right now

Still about 8% drop rate per key, so sometimes you have dry runs. Nature of RNG

[nocturne siren]

division at its finest

[spark raft]

Right as I say that, I get my very first dry run

Ran the bounty 4 times, got two keys: One as a drop, one because I completed the bounty out of frustration

[wild patio]

I feel like they nerfed the key drop rate overnight or something. Maybe because the community donation is already 1/3 of the way done

[opal oriole]

If you can’t find last present just use another character and shoot the same boxes you know it still count as same 👍

[cold pumice]

UNlikely, since they literally dropped the donation to 1/3 of the original target

[wild patio]

I thought they did that because they split the target up evenly between the three platforms

[spark raft]

One caveat to this is that this only works with Level 40 characters

[spark raft]

It comes and goes, there are definitely waves of good/bad RNG

The longer you play the event, the more you'll see it

[south umbra]

Eagle bearer and regulus in 3 caches 😂

[empty moth]

do i just roam around dc to find the krampus pack?

[south umbra]

I find dcd and district union have been my best spots

After you kill a squad there’s a 10 minute cool down when you kill them

[wild patio]

lincoln memorial is good too. they almost always spawn for me there

(after the 10m cooldown anyway)

[opal oriole]

Yeah

[hybrid plover]

I must be blind. I can't see where in west potomac park

Do you also know the location for the gift near checkpoint ?

[worldly fjord]

The one you're missing in WPP is actually the one with the red circle lol

[hybrid plover]

I also don't see it when I'm in red cirle. Do you have the picture of the location. I go there and see so many green grass 🙁

and by that the gift is perfectly camouflage

[spark raft]

Does that cooldown start from the moment they're killed/evaded, or the moment they spawn?

[south umbra]

Not 100 percent sure on this one

[south umbra]

Just star shooting everything green

[spark raft]

Presents are green boxes with red foil ribbon with white trim.

[hybrid plover]

The whole area is green my man. need more bullet

[spark raft]

#ask-td2-community message

[tough bear]

wouldnt this 10 minute cooldown really be a cooldown for a guaranteed spawn? might be me being impatient but im for sure finding at least one or two more krampus spawns within a 10 minute time frame

[rancid sphinx]

used key, but cache is empty

[left ravine]

Maybe you've been naughty this year

[worldly fjord]

Get scammed lmao

[spark raft]

Did you get the chest from the White House, or the one from Temu? I'm willing to bet Temu.

[oblique tree]

I'm looking for a present that's supposed to be at 1813-4400 in Judiciary Square, which is inside a big building according to map but I can't find it.
I found it. It's beside the statue on a pedestal just SW of the water source

[tough bear]

not even coal 😭

[dusky granite]

I really enjoyed Mutiny Season. Let's give it some positive feedback.

[tough bear]

I think I can give this season's modifiers an A for uniqueness. When I slow down and let my companion work with me, he can actually do some solid work.

The only real complaint that I have is how the companion AI can be unreactive and inconsistent. When he works, he pulls his weight. When he doesn't, he's somehow fighting a Hyena rusher in some dingy alleyway half-a-block away.

[spark raft]

Facts. I had my Quickfix stare at me while I was down, bleeding out

[left ravine]

Getting killed by their grenades is even more surprising

[spark raft]

Taking fire from three different directions, just standing there. I laughed pretty hard at that

[spark raft]

Oh man the Assault throws grenades like they're going to expire tomorrow. Good until they blow you up one time

[left ravine]

Mine has a special ability where he throws three grenades in rapid succession. Too bad if you are near those grenades

[spark raft]

Something I noticed is that when you use the active skill for the companion, they have to run all the way back to you before running to where they want to use the skill

Like my RPG assault guy taking a bunch of fire to run back to me before taking more fire to run out and fire his rocket, subsequently hitting the Hesco basket in front of him

[left ravine]

Haha

[spark raft]

I love the AI, they're buggy but they add this element of chaos

[worldly fjord]

At least they dont yap as much

[spark raft]

Is my medic going to help me, is he going to drop his med box 100m away from me when I have no armour, is my techline going to stand there and shoot into space? Who knows, highlander.

[dusky granite]

Let's give him positive feedback.

[left ravine]

I rather make use of the bonus stats when they're turned off

[spark raft]

Something I found myself using a lot is the fact that the AI just sits where you tell it to when you give it a cover order.

[left ravine]

Yup

[spark raft]

So you can do real life IMT maneuvers (bounding overwatch) where the AI moves, then shoots, then you move when the AI is shooting, then you give it the next command then you shoot while it moves etc

[left ravine]

Not reacting to commands, reacting too late, running in the line of fire for no reason, teleporting randomly behind you or from behind you in front of you, etc.

[spark raft]

Hey, the teleport saved my bacon in Legendary

When I had to fall back, then got air burst in the face, and the AI teleported back because I moved too far away but was able to revive me while in cover

[desert thunder]

Well that's pretty cool patch for collecting 40 gifts

[pastel grail]

I have a question for the event

Do you guys just completely fail the bounty so that the enemies respawn and get more winter keys through that way or just complete it?

[left ravine]

If you're talking about the cheesy way you cannot kill Krampus, only his minions. Then down yourself or get killed to respawn and restart the bounty

[oblique tree]

where can I see how many gifts I've collected?

[left ravine]

Press Escape and go to season menu

[desert thunder]

In my picture bottom right there it's right where the seasons pass would be

[oblique tree]

Got it!

[amber snow]

Does heroic have better key drops?

[surreal idol]

No

[river plaza]

Do the presents have a respawn cooldown or is it a one and done type of deal?

[spark raft]

Supposedly one and done, but it's only the second day

[cold pumice]

There are 40 to find.

That's the max, there's no need to find more

[delicate tartan]

Yes it was not easy, made it today after playing alot - all night 🙂

[cold pumice]

If you're talking about using the same one, that can be done a couple of different ways:

The boxes are character specific. Just change characters and shoot the same ones again.

Join someone elses game and do the same.

[pastel grail]

also one more thing

when it comes down to spawning those krampuslauf squads, where do we even spawn them or how? (am assuming control points)

[delicate tartan]

Everytime i try to find winter gifts- they apeared spawned close too. You might check gift locations

@pastel grail

[coral surge]

is this vendor the white house?

[delicate tartan]

No looks like castle settlement

[coral surge]

ah k thx

[delicate tartan]

Give it a try, not sure

[coral surge]

Does the AR lud have good stability?

compared to the lexington?

[delicate tartan]

Lexington, caretaker are good compared to lud

[coral surge]

thx thx

[polar cave]

Does anyone know what apparel is in the presents? I have played with several people that shoot them and get apparel and the named item. I have shot 36 of 40 and have not gotten anything but a named item.

[delicate tartan]

Rudy outfit, i remember, some named iteams kneepads, gloves eh...

[polar cave]

Thank you

[cold pumice]

Kill everyone, complete all activities. They spawn randomly like kill squads.

[polar cave]

They seem to spawn around every 10 mins, regardless of where you are.

[delicate tartan]

Oh

[cold pumice]

There is a 10 minute cooldown for them

[left ravine]

Yup. You can do a few bounties the fast way and they'll reliably respawn after the CD is over, always same spot

[kind cove]

Unrelated to this, am I crazy or are vendors worthless the majority of the time

I feel like vendors are so pointless most of the time outside of a select few with unique options

[left ravine]

If their items were good you wouldn't have to play the game :p

It's mostly starter gear you can buy. The rest needs to be played for

[kind cove]

I never once interacted with them before lev 40 lol

[left ravine]

Once in a blue moon you get something useful there; it's worth checking weekly

[kind cove]

Its like one of those things thats just kinda there, countdown vendor, cassie, stuff like that make sense

But normal vendors are so just… blah

[left ravine]

If there is any Yaahl item at a vendor ppl go nuts buying large amounts, for instance

Just realized, that hasn't happened in a while

[kind cove]

That is kinda part of the issue, once in a blue moon they might have a good piece

Really hope survivors adds a new consistent way to unlock pvp exclusives

[left ravine]

I mean it's a looter shooter -- so I don't actually expect anything else

[kind cove]

There are better ways to handle a looter shooter

[minor crag]

39 presents have been found, but the 40th location remains unknown. I suspect Krampus stole the last present

[bold tiger]

what if the last present is the 330k keys donated? 😹

[tough bear]

the day a vendor sells a 13% PfE would be like gjallarhorn day

[hot portal]

Apparel items from the past winter events (santa and rudy outfits) so if you already have them you would only get named items and % keys.

[wispy sail]

Does fast travelling cancel the timer cause I got 2 in about 5 minutes of eachother? 🤷‍♂️

[bold tiger]

is this enough bounties? 😹

[rugged stratus]

no, keep stacking

[slim elk]

I don't see anything wdym

[coral surge]

which exotic let me have the first 2 traits without having to equip two gear pieces?

[slim elk]

what?

[coral surge]

I think it is ninjabackpak

[slim elk]

I'm confused, what is a trait?

[coral surge]

like u equip one gear piece of striker and u get weapon handling

[slim elk]

ah the newbie trap, ninjabike

[coral surge]

hehehhe

[slim elk]

please don't use it, there are better options :l

[coral surge]

I think so too, the thought was just crossing my mind but I wont use it

[empty moth]

killed krampus fellas and they didnt drop a bounty

[snow cargo]

Check your bounties if not just go find them again.

[empty moth]

ah thanks

[minor crag]

Present #40 has been found!

-70, -1053 / West Potomic Park / On Top of Chimney

[coral surge]

is there any other yellow gear that give fire rate aside from unit alloys

[lunar palm]

Does anybody know how to unlock the sturdy 556 extended mag?

[narrow kraken]

If I remember right (it's been a minute) most, if not all weapon mods are unlocked by taking down control points

[quasi cloud]

Yeah control points

[coral surge]

thx ImMrChow

[shell wraith]

anyone know where hte present near the Red Dragon CP is?

[pastel grail]

Would it be better off to use this setup?

Or this (traded off for striker kneepads)

wait

[rugged stratus]

this is better, but swap lex too measured or killer

[pastel grail]

i see

[rugged stratus]

either way, if you have overdogs gloves swap them in over coyote, they potential a lot higher damage

[pastel grail]

i do in need of farming blueprints for that mini red dot for more crit hit chance

[rugged stratus]

yeah i figure the crit is a work in progress since still building shd too

[pastel grail]

yeah

[rugged stratus]

but right now, flatline isnt doing much for ya since no real way to proc the talent. measured is better in groups, killer is better solo normally. i would probably measured tho since its always gonna proc

[pastel grail]

okay then

[trim meadow]

@worldly escarp Here is the vendor

[left ravine]

Complete map for all 40/40 presents, including WIP descriptions. Cheers to the creator and everyone who contributed:

[obsidian ibex]

Is eagle bearer still good to use or is it purely for collection?

[left ravine]

Not good anymore

[kind cove]

Its good

Its just situational and more of a pvp exotic

[obsidian ibex]

Ahh noted

[left ravine]

Pretty much nobody uses it anymore because it's just a shadow of what it once was

[kind cove]

I think thats both ignoring newer weapons and also discrediting the actual exotic

[left ravine]

Very situational sure

[kind cove]

People stopped using it because it lost the damage of its talent and as well, we have had multiple meta ars one of which was given out for free TWICE

[left ravine]

You need to know how to handle it, sure. The nerfs were pretty hard

[kind cove]

Theres also st elmo which is comparable to it but has a more pve focused talent and is much easier to unlock

Eagle bearer isn’t bad, theres just better things

[inner tendon]

@left ravine So just to confirm, this replaces the current pin?

[left ravine]

Yes please

[left ravine]

Thanks

[spare girder]

How can I get the winter keys easily?

And do I need all the 25 keys to unlock a cache?

Or is it just 1 key per cache?

[steep void]

Get normal bounty, kill npcs, don't kill boss, die from boss, rinse repeat

1 key per cache

[subtle grove]

how can i shut up agent hoskins without doing bfb first?

[sterile plover]

Any one know how to see the coordinates on the map , they used to be there but now they are not, i can see some when i press escape on that screen but not on the map anymore when i move the cursor about !

[oak gazelle]

you'll have 2 options on pc, photo mode or connect a controller

[dry pond]

How come sometimes my heartbreaker stacks aint stacking while using linked laser pointer and flatline? I am aiming straight at the enemy and firing my weapon, but no heartbreaker stacks.

[old oar]

ok

[spare girder]

Did the creator collab end?

[lunar palm]

1 key per cache. Farming Method for keys are getting your hands on the bounty wipe both floors and let the boss kill you and you can restart the bounty as much as you want it wont disappear. Getting the bounty on normal mode is better it’s quicker and for me usually drops 3-5 keys each time. Upping the difficulty makes no difference when dropping the keys I’ve tested it on normal,challenging and heroic

[spare girder]

Kindly respond

[slim elk]

if you're talking about this one, nope

but I do have to say I've seen shirts and stuff drop in the open world from some content creators, maybe I'm mistaken

[spare girder]

No the GCROCK, Gaming Brigade and SplinterShield one

[slim elk]

ah that one, yes, they still drop

[oak gazelle]

but the projects are gone, so no backpacks

[spare girder]

NOOOOOO

I did the first mission instead, cuz why not

Does anyone have a good build that uses turmoil kneepads or whatever, that doesn't include an exotic? Since I want to go through heroic a bit more easily

[olive orbit]

are the creator project chains gone for everyone? I got the apparel but not the projects
