if he was playing with someone under lv40 then sure he could argue about stats changing, but at 40 it shouldnt

[remote meadow]

i have bug i dont become crampus bounty , i have 7x crampus runner make of heroic

[grim spear]

i'm stumped

[half karma]

did they change krampus bounty actually fail now when you die?

[formal depot]

Exactly but thats the issue we are running into

im getting throttled on Lifeless's server, and I get throttled when he joins me

[pseudo tundra]

can you post your build in #ask-td2-community

[formal depot]

Lex with Killer

and thats Fox's Prayer on knees

[pseudo tundra]

were you getting stacks with HB? there was old issue of sometimes not being able to get all stacks

so you just remove one piece and put it back to get it working again

[formal depot]

its iffy

98% of the time yes I can get all my stacks, the other 2% no.

[pseudo tundra]

well not all stacks, just any stacks was the bug

[formal depot]

yeah 2% of the time I get hit with that

[tribal hemlock]

define "throttled", specifically

[formal depot]

dmg significently decreased

[tribal hemlock]

and are you seeing this in the firing range? what are the damage number differences?

[formal depot]

close to 2mil different

[tribal hemlock]

in the range?

(what you're describing isn't a thing btw)

also do you have seasonal modifiers turned on?

[wispy merlin]

yeah recalling what kind of enemy you're shooting at helps us know

[tribal hemlock]

the enemies with blue shields have 60% damage reduction

but they only show up if you have seasonal stuff turned on

[formal depot]

ALL ON HEROIC
In the range alone I can hit about 6mil dps and than 10-11mil with max Killer
joining my friend it drops to 4mil dps and 7-8mil with max Killer

outside of the range alone on say a Hyena Shield unit I can take him out with mostly headshots in half a mag to a whole mag
joining my friend that takes it to a whole mag to a mag and a half with the same conditions

we both play with the Seasonal Modifiers on, I dont play with any extras that increase my dmg only Command Link gain

[tribal hemlock]

it only happens with this build?

[formal depot]

any build

but the one I sent is what I mainly use because I like how it operates

[tribal hemlock]

do you have a striker build to test with?

[formal depot]

Yes, same issue

[tribal hemlock]

ok, one sec i'll show you a better way to test

[tribal hemlock]

1. turn on damage numbers from the chat window
2. use an invulnerable enemy
3. set it to 5 meters away
4. stack up striker all the way
5. look at the highest crit you're doing

the dps meter is unreliable and buggy

tell us the max damage you're doing in both sessions

max crit i mean. that'll tell us the % difference and we might be able to guess what's causing it.

(although tbh i can't think of what can possibly be happening)

[formal depot]

I will when they are online again

[tribal hemlock]

the only possible thing i can think of is some sort of bug with seasonal modifiers where it's not applying the weapon damage buff for you... or something like that

when you test also record the max crit damage with seasonal modifiers turned off

[formal depot]

because when I tell you its only them, I mean it. I can join other friends that are under my SHD lvl and play on heroic and have zero issues like this, but the second I do so with this friend it drops and I get throttled

[tribal hemlock]

that'll at least rule out if it's seasonal mods causing it or not

[formal depot]

its not the Seasonal Modifers, its changing it a bit but not by the numbers I was describing, it was only 3-4k dmg

[upbeat cairn]

Is there picture sof all the winter apparel cache items anywhere?

[left ravine]

@unreal solar

[upbeat cairn]

thats dope - pricy tho

[unreal solar]

tyty

[left ravine]

Yeah middle fingers up to those prices lol

[upbeat cairn]

Yeah over $10 for a single weapon skin is wild

[left ravine]

But I'm also not the typical victim for that

To each their own. Just saying if reasonably priced I'd buy more shop items.

[upbeat cairn]

the smart net skin is cool too but.... same price. also i have no idea how to get the shroud and ive never heard of it

[upbeat cairn]

id prob pay $5 max for a skin if i really liked it

[left ravine]

Yeah something like that

[upbeat cairn]

$2-$3 seems more reasonable

[left ravine]

Realistically I guess five bucks is fair from my POV

Possibly selling more skins

Then again I have zero insight into any of their metrics

[frail storm]

Beautiful

[left ravine]

Good thing taste is subjective

[karmic compass]

I have not been able to find out what some numbers are with the Crafting Station UI - searching for explanations just show you how to unlock the station, or how to actually craft an item but I am sure the numbers also are supposed to tell us stuff. In the screenshot, I see 316/662 and 1/6 in the upper left. I assume 662 is max blueprints in the game and I have 316. What is the 1/6? And in the upper right, 70/150? What do those represent?

[wispy merlin]

1/6 is how many exotic projects you've completed

70/150 is your inventory usage

[karmic compass]

So one can only do 6 exotic projects? (to be honest I don't recall doing anything with an exotic anyway...)

[pseudo tundra]

only a couple of exotics are from projects

i think most of them are armor?

dodge holster, ridgway chest, regulus, chatterbox?

[wispy merlin]

liberty, chatterbox, dodge city holster, ridgeway's pride, regulus, nemesis

these are crafted exotics, to craft them you either complete their projects or get them elsewhere like winter cache

[karmic compass]

So I got most of those just as loot drops in game. But that would be more than 1/6, so I am not sure what that 1 is from

[wispy merlin]

well loot drops aren't projects

only the 6 exotics i listed are crafted via projects

you must have crafted 1, just check your exotic blueprints

[pseudo tundra]

most likely liberty or chatterbox considering how easy they are

[karmic compass]

No, the only exotic blueprint (other than reconfiguration ones) I have are for Reconfiguration Caches and for the 2 Caches.

[wispy merlin]

check in Weapons, not in Exotic

[karmic compass]

0/4 Exotic and 28/39 reconfigure in the Weapons section.

[wispy merlin]

now check in Mask, Chest, Gloves, etc.

[karmic compass]

The one blueprint I have is for the Dodge City Gunholster. All others are reconfig ones. But I never crafted the holster. I got the blueprint because the holster was awarded when (I think) I killed someone? Can't recall. But I am certain I didn't craft it.

[pseudo tundra]

you get each part defeating certain enemies in a project

the last part also gives you the blueprint to craft it

[wispy merlin]

ye, you get it after defeating that controller enemy in the saloon

you don't have to craft it, that number indicates you get the blueprint

now you know where that 1 came from

[karmic compass]

thank you! Appreciate the time and effort to puzzle this out with me.

[manic gust]

Is this a known issue, or specifically me issue?
I've tried logging out and back in on my Ubi account, didn't do anything.

[left ravine]

Someone brought it up on Reddit

[manic gust]

Yea, I saw the post. But most of the replies are talking about EB itself, or not/getting EB, or how bad EB is. And nobody else seems to talk about the purchase issue aside me and OP on reddit.

[wispy merlin]

seems to be because it's by mistake

[manic gust]

You mean like, released too early type mistake?

[wispy merlin]

yeah

[left ravine]

90% of Reddit posts are off-topic, always

[manic gust]

🙃

[cerulean path]

I just got division 2 on pc max level. Ik 5x xp is going on whats best way to level watch?

[slim elk]

check pins

[acoustic lark]

Were there any changes to descent? I'm not getting reconstructed caches anymore. Noticed this the past 3 weeks after doing the weekly run. I know reconstructed caches aren't dropping every time but before usually every other week i would get one. I am also not getting any collectibles to drop, stuck on 92/105

[sick plaza]

what talent would you recommend for a lexington?

[slim elk]

killer or measured

[nocturne siren]

Wait there's 5x XP?

[cold pumice]

for 3 days, yeah

[broken light]

Yeah even I was surprised😅

[nocturne siren]

That's what, today, tomorrow, Christmas, and Friday?

[cold pumice]

Ends on Fridays server reset I believe

[inner tendon]

As of 1 minute ago:

[cold pumice]

Wasn't really a surprise, it was listed in the events some time ago in game lol

[nocturne siren]

I'll have a window of opportunity to farm NB for XP with my account and my girlfriend's. Probably tomorrow and Christmas day

[cold pumice]

There's no xp cheese farm, since theres no global event to turn off

[nocturne siren]

Would help out a lot to level up firewall for her. We got gunner and tech knocked out

[broken light]

Really?. I mean like we just had a five times xp event literally not too long ago😅

[nocturne siren]

Shiiiiiiit you're right 💀😔

[cold pumice]

I mean, it IS christmas.

[broken light]

Once that event was gone and done I assumed there wouldn’t be another one until near end of the current season.

[nocturne siren]

I mean I could easily just farm control points and have her teleport to me

[wanton ledge]

do i have to do the hyena retaliations on heroic to get the overdogs bp?

[nocturne siren]

Yes. If you target them as gloves too I think they drop even if you don't have them. I can't say for sure bc I had a pair drop yesterday but I already have the blueprint and reconfigure blueprint from last season

[wispy merlin]

heroic has highest drop chance for blueprint so

[cold pumice]

ANy difficulty can drop it (it's a completion reward) but difficulty affects the chance. 50% on heroic, 35% challenging

Bare in mind that it's a pool of exo blueprints, you might not get Overdogs

[nocturne siren]

Do you know if having the gloves already puts them into the general drop pool? I tried my ass off on CD and it never dropped. It dropped for me on retal right away

I know they added it to the caches (exo)

[wispy merlin]

it shouldn't matter whether you already have them

[inner tendon]

Overdogs are 100% in the general drop pool, as I got them from an Exotic Cache last night.

[nocturne siren]

What about as a loot drop in say CD or retal?

[inner tendon]

Same pool.

[nocturne siren]

Ah so I basically had horrible RNG

[inner tendon]

It's best to think of RNG in div2 as a reversed number.
So if something has a 10% drop chance, think of it as a 90% chance to not get it.

[nocturne siren]

It was 2 people even targeting ODogs (gloves) and both of us couldn't drop it. I have the blueprint, they don't

Dropped for me in retal pretty quickly. But I don't know if it's tied like a blueprint think like say Chatterbox is

[nocturne siren]

Now when they dropped for you, did you have it previously?

I had mine previously and the blueprints. My partner couldn't get it to drop at all. But she did get exodus/rugged/BTSU/bloody. Never ODogs

[inner tendon]

It shouldn't matter if you've had them before, once something is added to the pool, it's there for good.

[nocturne siren]

Makes sense. I'm just hesitant and questioning if they are added after you obtain either the reconfigure blueprint or the crafting blueprints. Basically like how Chatterbox is, yk?

It's good to know they ARE part of the loot pool. Damn RNG

[inner tendon]

It used to be that once you got a "season pass exotic", it would be added to the pool, or just generally added once the Season was over.
I believe nowadays it's just flat-out added for everyone.

[nocturne siren]

I got my hands on bittersweet. It's a fun rifle, when you can hit heads

I quickly stashed it and returned back to Scorpio + Opportunistic

[inner tendon]

Other exotics exist right now, but that would require stoppingusing the Tempest.
damn that iKia tempest build, it's gonna ruin my striker reflexes.

[cold pumice]

Quickstep says huh?

😏

[inner tendon]

Quickstep is fine and all, but I've got a T6 shield and I can't die.

I got called a hacker a few days ago as a result of the not dying stuff. Highest compliment.

[cold pumice]

That's always fun

HH determined gets you called a cheater alot

[nocturne siren]

Which one is it Rivens? The tempest one. I need a tempest build

[wispy merlin]

NOW i know why...

[inner tendon]

As I now have 1st world internet for the first time in my life, it's been really weird to experience games at a more reasonable level.
I didn't know shots were all supposed to hit!

[nocturne siren]

And you're not supposed to teleport in games either

[cold pumice]

I joined a call for back up the other day and got kicked after a few minutes of one shotting everything in their Control point farm -.-

They were not happy to have a cheater ruin the game for them

[wispy merlin]

if they kicked you just for that they'd be surprised to see an actual cheater

[nimble spruce]

Tbf playing hh determined in group content (except maybe legendary) always feels mean to the other players, they barely get a chance to do anything

[left ravine]

Good thing many players don't have a good aim tho

[wispy merlin]

imo it's highly dependent on the person, the ratio of people getting annoyed versus those who are pleasantly surprised have felt the same for me, the majority don't comment tho

[inner tendon]

I do get a little frustrated if I'm trying to play the regular game and someone just keeps kill stealing.
But if you're in a dedicated xp farming group like CP's or such, it's less annoying.

[cold pumice]

It wasn't that I put it on for that, i was using it for my own. Joined a call for back up for shephard rank so i was only there for a little while anyway and got kicked

[left ravine]

When answering a call you might end up getting kicked for the most ridiculous "reasons"

So I stopped doing that for now

[cold pumice]

Tbf, its only happened a couple of times (normally when new players spam buttons after dying)

But usually they just ask you to leave

Most of the time if its a low level or a new player I just pick them up and leave now lol

[manic skiff]

Is there an app that allows me to see my gear from my phone? like the one for Destiny 2

[slim elk]

no

[drifting iron]

can you still get the endurance outfit from last season?

[rugged stratus]

Next time show up with mortar 😎

-# Mortar Supremacy

[tribal hemlock]

pov

[rugged stratus]

🔥 🔥 🔥

[bold tiger]

wow, you got my aim how dare you

[fast light]

did they like remove overdogs from all drops. 4 days no blueprint no drop in countdown, no exotic cashs, no summit.

[slim elk]

it's not in any of those, you can get the blueprint from Hyena Retaliations. * Plus priority objectives

[fast light]

right blueprint only, but the gloves themselves ar enot dropping anywhere even in groups

[pearl pasture]

They aren't in the drop pool you need to get the bp to craft them

[fast light]

well that would explain it, why not that was last seasons usually they are.

[pearl pasture]

Either they forgot or are just slow with it since they had the events coming up, probably not a priority but at least they are obtainable

[fast light]

idk about obtainable lol 4 days of hot gaarbage. But yea sounds like ubisoft to be fair

is there at least a drop % on retaliation ive done about 40 got everything but those

[pearl pasture]

I believe the bp drops from hyena retaliations but no idea the drop chance. I have heard it is a 50/50 on a reward for completion and i think that is the slot they drop in

[fast light]

from what i read thats true. seems i just lose 50/50 100% of the times

but ive also read they are in the general loot pool so what do i know

[pearl pasture]

Afaik they are not, maybe priority objectives but i personally have not seen any drop randomly. But goodluck to you

I feel like they should have included them in the winter caches at least

[fast light]

i mean at this point i agree but ive also hear dpeople saying they get them in summit, and countdown so either really lucky or they have encountered a bug of unrealeased content to the rest of us with how rare these things are

[left ravine]

I've gotten a pair from an exo cache. Check this overview, it's usually correct

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MaAAXBLNhL1AaCBoIewExQNaqkNKlIqlYGE_OUXmjtM/edit?usp=drivesdk

[fast light]

so that means itt is in general?

[left ravine]

Apparently. I've only gotten a pair from a cache. Can't speak for CD or Summit nor OW TL

[bold tiger]

you've checked your crafting table? it's not something that drops on the ground. it's just literaly granted to you immediately to your crafting table

[fast light]

ive seen it as a pop up showing u got it at the end of the retaliation, and then yes ive checked just in case

[fast light]

few times on reddit

[fast light]

friend of mine jsut said he has several pairs from general drops 🙁 rip

[bold tiger]

the greatest trick. not want it anymore. it'll rain the drop for you

[left ravine]

Yup don't think about it

[pearl pasture]

My bad, i didn't think they were added yet, apologies!

[fast light]

omg!!!

there u go they do exisit

[subtle grove]

Should I take my DMG out of cover from my winter cache caretaker and put it into my eagle bearer? Currently it has ROF as it's attribute

[fast light]

doesnt work that way u have to re roll eagle bearer

[subtle grove]

Ah... Well, I'm not going to go through the grind of winter caches

[fast light]

u just go to the work bench with the eagle bearer and re roll it

[subtle grove]

It already as 2 fully maxed out stats, I'm worried to RR it

[fast light]

just sucks but thats how it is if u want th ebottom one re rolled

[subtle grove]

Aughhhhh, I'll think about it

[pearl pasture]

Honestly i would just do it since in the long run you will want dttooc on it if you plan on keeping it and using it and tbh once you have more resources maxing it out isn't too bad. Being a few % short in each slot is fine too

[fast light]

its rough but worth it

[blazing axle]

How’d I kill off Violet so damn fast???

By 50%, the goons start showing up and I get swarmed with rushers.

I’m playing the refinery mission for the first time- with special ammo and fog of war enabled.

[pseudo tundra]

decoy or some other skills are useful to push aggro away from you

[blazing axle]

This big flamer boy has no weak spots on him

And I’m getting swarmed through the fog here

[subtle grove]

How the hell do I get to major bungalow for scout 4

[subtle grove]

Nvm didnt find a way to to takeout major bungalow

[blazing axle]

How’d I flatline this tubby dude?

Jasinki, do your rushers have bullet resistant car doors for shields now?

[subtle grove]

Okay I finally found a way to major bungalow for scout 4

[blazing axle]

I don’t want to reset the mission— but these guys are Zerg rushing me

[inner tendon]

@blazing axle If you mean the final boss of the Refinery: the mission dialogue is a clue on how to do it.
tl;dr lead him near the pipes that create a radius when you activate them; him in the radius = good.

[blazing axle]

Easier said then done.

[inner tendon]

Just kill some enemies for breathing room, and run around in a big circle. You'll get the hang of it.

[blazing axle]

I’m playing with fog on and special ammo enabled

The gonks go through the pipes when Jasi isn’t around and the rushers always tail me

I did it—

Just had to hastily swap out to strikers and two steel plate— and swap my hive for the gunner drone

<< I DID THAT ON HEROIC??!! >>

I didn’t feel the time until those last two fights.

How’d I do…?

[subtle grove]

Well, ma'am or sir, you did 1 billion+ damage so that's pretty good

What's the best way for grinding levels rn? I want to make sure I'll get to atleast a good level before 5x exp goes away

[upbeat cairn]

Can you not bounty matchmake as a group? me and my buddy are playing together

[left ravine]

Should work

[upbeat cairn]

matchmake any bounty is greyed out

[left ravine]

Maybe switch group leader and try again?

Or disband and regroup? I haven't done that in a hot minute, can't see a reason why not

[left plinth]

Heroic Control Point

[upbeat cairn]

nope

[left ravine]

Rip, alright

[blazing axle]

I don’t remember how I got to that- never got past 420k before

I was running my build of Mementos with Walker mask (Substitute for my third UA piece)/Steelworks chest (Obliterate)/Eagle’s Grasp gloves + 2 piece Unit Alloys on the holster and knee pads

The last leg made me swap to my old Strikers + two piece Steelworks set + swap my hive for a drone for aggro reasons + swap my Glory Daze for my Elmo’s in a hurry- through my deaths 17th through 21st

[blazing axle]

I’m currently at SHD 758 myself.

I jumped from 750 to 755 off that accidental heroic sortie.

[blazing axle]

<< A A A A A A A A — >>

[blazing axle]

I’m very proud of myself—that I got those numbers that high + didn’t restart the mission when I was almost dome anyways.

[left plinth]

Does Krampus gang spawns in NY and Brooklyn?

[subtle grove]

No, since Krampus doesn't have a event in either of those places. It's so new players/players w/o WoNY and BfB can't really miss it

[cold pumice]

Well the amount of damage and kills are set by the mission. They don't vary by much each time.

The only ones you have control over is the time and revives (when solo)

But you completed it. Thats the first step

[blazing axle]

I completed it without resetting too— it only took me five deaths in a row to get my old kit on for that last leg

The rest of the mission wasn’t so bad, pretty fun, except for that dog fight before Jasinki.

That was a doozy, didn’t die as much.

[desert thunder]

Winter keys are in the summit too

[desert thunder]

Holy crap! They're giving us a 5-hour warning for a server reset

[manic skiff]

Guys what’s the best way to earn XP during this 5x xp event, I wanna hit 1000, Iam 89rn

[manic skiff]

Is there down time?

[desert thunder]

in 5 hours

[manic skiff]

For how long?

[desert thunder]

dont know 3 to 6 hours

[manic skiff]

Is there like a new patch or something?

[desert thunder]

I am as clueless as you

[manic skiff]

🤣😭

[desert thunder]

I just play here mot work here

[left plinth]

Most likely just a simple server restart shoule be fine if you just log back in when it hit 0, if there was maintenance today then nobody would be able to play for hours rn

[warm salmon]

hostage rescues, bounties

although tbh just play the game normally

[rugged stratus]

Controlpoints captured. On high difficulty with directives. See pinned messages 📌

[slim elk]

not even close to the second best method which are Control Points

[left ravine]

I doubt you can do that within a three day time window.

[dire radish]

If you have no job/school and social life, easy.

[left ravine]

What a timing for an XP event

[dire radish]

Yeah, odd choice. Although not the first time.

[rugged stratus]

tbh. its preferred shorter by some.. that's a lot of caches to open and decon

[left ravine]

But over Christmas?

[rugged stratus]

why not

many will be home

[left ravine]

Yeah idk

[gleaming wigeon]

Is scout week 4 all the activities in federal triangle? 🤔

[blazing axle]

I got the first step down while in Brooklyn lol

[desert thunder]

They should have made it where the host of the room should be in control of the companions like it's a courtesy thing. When I jump in a room with some people I let the hosts run his companion like I think that's the way it should have been

[blazing axle]

I’m annoyed that during one of my last co-op sessions, my current “Devil-Dog” Spear guy was replaced by a jobber

I didn’t replace him

[pearl pasture]

I activate mine by accident a lot and it is annoying. Rather let the host use theirs imho

The habbit of inspecting loot is too ingrained to stop lol

[desert thunder]

true

That's why I was saying the Host should control companions like people can pop their companion but the host should be able control what they do

[low mulch]

Is there any consistent way to get Overdogs?

[slim elk]

priority objectives

[tall lance]

hello! is there any way to "farm" mods with high stats? also is worth to try and craft a buch of mods hoping for a maxed out one?

[wispy merlin]

you just farm them yeah

[tall lance]

yeah i mean, any specific activity is better than others to farm mods or are just random drops? x.x

[left ravine]

Targeted loot

[solid igloo]

Assuming there's a guide out there somewhere how much time should i set aside to do the present hunt?

[drifting iron]

what side mission gives the c79 scope?

[wispy merlin]

you craft it from control point farming

[drifting iron]

craft says side mission reward

nvm found itr

[wispy merlin]

yeah it should say what mission it is if you didn't boost to 30

[snow prairie]

What stats/gear should i invest in for using pestilence a lot?

given what pestilence does is a debuff not a status effect, vile seems to not be helping that much

[slim elk]

CoCo gearset, check the Spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice for Pestilence Guide

[snow prairie]

Wonderful thank you!

[slim elk]

want to try luck with my 13 winter keys? I wanna give the loot to someone who needs it

[snow prairie]

i wouldnt mind, i dont have the overdogs though those exotics dont seem to be shareable

when gained from the winter gear caches

[quasi musk]

how do i go about getting the quickstep

[slim elk]

winter caches

[rugged stratus]

Unfortunately cant share loot from winter keys

[slim elk]

yeah :(

[wispy merlin]

you can if your inv is full when you open the caches

but what do i know, i'm just an average player

[nocturne siren]

Open them with a full inventory. It allows you to share borderline everything

This is even true for opening exo caches from CD vendor

[rugged stratus]

nice

[sick plaza]

im working on getting my BP's, and i seen i can get the tactical assessment bundles BP. my question is , do i need to take over say a rikers cp to get the rikers BP or is it all random?

[wispy merlin]

random

[sick plaza]

good. thats what i was hoping for. thank you. 🙂 only 999,999,999 more CP to take over.... 🤣

[subtle grove]

Just get a full inventory, then open a cache, the loot from the cache will drop onto the ground, so you can pick it up, and give it to someone

[inner tendon]

I think if a 4th person says the same thing, we all win a prize.

[wispy merlin]

aaaany minute now

[loud saddle]

prizes are fun! \o/

[soft inlet]

Make sure inventory is full, open caches. Share loot. Now where's this so called prize you agents speak of?

no problem i appreciate the help

Is Danny weaver messed up ? It says he restocks in 00:00:00:00 for me

Which means he should be restocked but there’s nothing there

[ocean shadow]

By chance how rare is it to find clothing drops?

[loud saddle]

from where? there are a set number of apparel items available for looting in the open world (and a few available now via the christmas presents), but after that it's just via the apparel caches, store, or events.

[ocean shadow]

am in brooklyn rn looting the wardrobes, backpacks, and shoeboxes but so far lately havent gotten any clothing from them within the last few weeks

[loud saddle]

you may have reached the limit of what you're able to find in the open world

[ocean shadow]

i see

was hoping to find a black turtleneck tbh

[fathom agate]

What does everyone do w/ the manhunt objectives? I heard some people were leaving them to complete at the end of the season because they give a good amount of xp. But I've always just done them as they come out. Should I be saving mine for the end of the season as well? Does it give enough xp for that to be worth it? If so -- Should I be completing the HVT as they come out or leave those as well?

[quasi musk]

thank you

[fathom agate]

Also why are people doing the HVT as they come out and not saving them like the rest of them?

[pseudo tundra]

End of season now have Stretch goals that can give people extra caches when they level up after level 100 in the season, so some people like to level up season pass by themselves and save the scouts and journey rewards that give a good chunk to do it later

Its personal prefference over the event

I play the season as it gets the scouts to play with the new exotics and gear also beacause i look forward the climax mission

[solid igloo]

Is there some minimum number of winter keys I have to donate towards the community goal rewards to be eligible for them or do I get to be selfish since they're filled already?

[cold pumice]

1

[candid verge]

you need to donate 1 key to be eligible for the reward and you need 1 more key to open the cache

[real wagon]

How does one achieve this combo??

[left ravine]

You buy the item from the store when it's back

[real wagon]

Oh it cones like that? I thought it was a mix of stuff

You know the name of it?

[left ravine]

No I don't, sry. Was in the store last season

[spare girder]

It was a flamingo bundle or something

[left ravine]

Right, something with Flamingo

Tactical Flamingo

[real wagon]

Amazing tysm

[left ravine]

The NVG are not in use during day but come down at night time, be aware. I've seen people complain about misleading advertising

[real wagon]

I was just thinking that lol, I wish for it to be always down.

[left ravine]

Yeah that is what people complained about

[main valve]

I know its not a build but i cant post a picture in general chat,,, is this a joke^ I've had stronghold missions give me like 600K-1mil XP and now it gives me this?

[left ravine]

@burnt lodge I'd drop if I could lol

[burnt lodge]

Bruuuuuuuh XD

[left ravine]

You still have plenty time with this event; keep doing the bounty, get keys and you'll get at least one

[burnt lodge]

You’re right gotta keep at it

[burnt lodge]

Did you get it to drop from the chest?

[summer shard]

yes i got 2 i think in about 70 keys give or take.

[cold pumice]

That's credits....not xp

[main valve]

🤦‍♂️

[snow cargo]

Seriously.

[tough relic]

Does my Turmoil apply to my companion? I swear his ability, Spearhead or rocket launcher, killed someone who was out of the blast and bleed radius

[tired verge]

a 15th regulus has hit my inventory stash

i am now 544/450

[steep void]

What 🤯

[steep void]

U can save as many lexi as u want in stash without wasting space as those r weightless

[blazing axle]

How is that possible..? D:

[blazing axle]

<< Many missile launchers to bully me with. More bodies to keep me busy. >>

<< How did I NOT die??? I was mainly using my Bulwark Shield with my Lighting Rod for fun. Swapped to my Glory Daze or Super 90 when needed. >>

[stray onyx]

So I am level 12 and trying to do this weekly descent. Can't see it anywhere on the map. And when I go into map to matchmake, it shows unavailable

[cold pumice]

You need to unlock Descent at the castle settlement first

[stray onyx]

Don't have that unlocked yet. The only settlement I have unlocked is The Theater

[cold pumice]

Then you can't do descent

[stray onyx]

Sad

Thanks for the help tho!

[pseudo tundra]

Descent needs around lv 20 now

[subtle grove]

You can do descent around lvl 20, I'm just saying this while replying, so you can get @ted about it

Does transmog save between characters? (I.e if I have striker kneepads unlocked as transmog on one account if I start a fresh one, can I still equip them as a design?)

[worldly fjord]

all cosmetics are account wide

[subtle grove]

So... If I have a striker vest on one account, it will unlock as a cosmetic in my other one?

[worldly fjord]

youre confusing accounts and characters

if you unlock a cosmetic in one character, you get it on all others

[subtle grove]

Ah, I meant characters yeah

[subtle grove]

Thanks brother!

[stray onyx]

But I just unlocked the Castle Settlement. Not level 20 yet

[subtle grove]

Ah, alright

[worldly fjord]

check out he spot to the east of white house

[subtle grove]

Do shd levels get shared between characters?

[worldly fjord]

yes

[loud cobalt]

Iam getting delta 4 error code does anyone know why?

[jaunty tide]

does incoming repairs work with armor on kill?

[fathom agate]

Thank you. I'll probably just do it my self as well.

[minor ferry]

can you disable the winter event without losing your krampus bounties ?

[candid verge]

you can't disable it, and you won't loose the bounties, they will be gone when completed

[left ravine]

They do take up a spot in your inventory. Once in a while you get one that maybe doesn't, I have that with a pair of Turmoil. Those items seem bugged somehow and it's not the norm

[ocean shadow]

by chance what do the hidden presents look like?

[cold pumice]

Green gifts with red ribbon

They're quite large

[ocean shadow]

k

Is this map viable? Havent been able to find the one labelled 1 at its location

[left ravine]

#ask-td2-community message

[ocean shadow]

gotchs

[left ravine]

It's pinned here in this channel fyi

[ocean shadow]

yea thats where i got the map from but am still having trouble finding them

[left ravine]

They even added pictures and grid coords. Should be super ez

[ocean shadow]

k

[left ravine]

Not sure I understand what you struggle with?

[karmic lagoon]

not sure if this is a stupid question, but, will my map ever be "clean" again? I finished the game and so, of course I unlocked a bunch of stuff including the invasions etc. I understand those happen weekly? and I understand I'd have to clear them, but im asking because I have to do a scout mission where I have to get the bounty, but once I cap the control point and I'm on my way to the other one it gets captured again, am I missing something or is this just the way it is? Also i had unlocked companions but theyre locked again for some reason? (i have both DLCs im not sure if it has to do with that)

( i also see the lines and how some stuff is connected but even if I remove all of them, they remain capped somehow by the enemies)

[left ravine]

You can reset your map including all control points

Press M then Y and select your options

[cold pumice]

Control points get retaken. Its part of the game

Even while you're offline you can lose them

[karmic lagoon]

ooh ok ok, so theres no way to like clear the map and make everything friendly

[cold pumice]

Well you can, but keeping it that way is another story.

Enemies will regularly try to retake them via random attacks (visible by a red gun symbol on the main map) you can intercept these to stop the attack.

Or through retaliations, failing to start and complete a retaliation will automatically lose all control points in that area after 6 hours.

[wispy merlin]

you want them to be unfriendly so there are activities for you to do lol

[cold pumice]

Also that ^

[karmic lagoon]

OOOOOOOOOOOh i didnt know that one

thank you guys for answering! I was really curious about this bc im usually someone who likes to wipe everything before moving onto the next thing. Ill just continue doing the quests then lolol

[whole valley]

Anyone know what this generator key is about from a present found in the Christmas area near the White House?

[wispy merlin]

it's best to think of this game as building yourself better to do the same content faster, you're just continually improving to get better builds

[slim elk]

but sir you're just average

[wispy merlin]

i fell off

[nimble spruce]

Part of a hunter puzzle

[karmic lagoon]

is t worth opening the gear cache in the winter thing or

[nimble spruce]

Worth is subjective. Do you want any of the gear in the cache? Do you want any of the gear in the other caches?

[quasi musk]

why do hoods only work with hunter or full head masks now#

[karmic lagoon]

I need more exotics to try and get some build working, atm i only have chameleon

[nimble spruce]

Exotics are rarely significantly stronger than other options, see the spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice for a bunch of recommended build guides and a farming guide.

[karmic lagoon]

Thank you so much!! I was super lost with that

[sick plaza]

if a BP drops from " defending territories " what exactly does that mean? taking CP? doing events? i feel it could be a lot clearer lol.

[nimble spruce]

Probably retaliations. Which blueprint is it?

[sick plaza]

overdogs

[cold pumice]

It means you've just completed a retaliation

Your reward was the Overdogs crafting blueprint.

Well done, you can now craft your own

[nimble spruce]

Yeah all exotic blueprints that aren't project-based are from retaliations

[sick plaza]

gotcha. ty

[vale widget]

Whats the best method to get the Virginian?

Since apparently the 1886 blueprint doesn't exist, because the devs hate me. 😭

[snow prairie]

Are open world activities the best xp farming while the 5xp event is going on?

[left ravine]

Named item caches or rifle TL in the DZ. Alternatively grind for the crafting BP through Retaliations

[snow prairie]

I must have got it like two or three times on lv4 the nest

Just dropped by some true sons

[left ravine]

1886 you mean? Virginian drops only in the DZ

[snow prairie]

Nope its the Virginian for sure

[left ravine]

Maybe it was changed at some point, idk anymore

[snow prairie]

Must have, i avoid the dark zone in general,

also is ninjabike backpack a dz only drop?

[regal summit]

No

[snow prairie]

ah great

[cold pumice]

No, but it should only be used in there 🙂

[snow cargo]

You can get everything you without ever having to get into the DZ

[snow prairie]

Just want me some crazy builds for pve

[bold tiger]

was going to say if you wanted a particular gearset, it's tough getting it without going into DZ/conflict as the caches for it is abundant of other junk unless they start giving away seasonal caches

but yeah, named items is easy to obtain without stepping foot into DZ

[whole valley]

Is the midis mask hunters disabled like yanik the beard?

[limber elbow]

Floor 100 of summit bugged? Many of the covers are non-usable or will put you on top if you try to take cover.

[vale widget]

You got it from a CP?

Is there anywhere else to nab Retaliation materials? I'd heard they can drop from named faction enemies, but I'm skeptical.

[left ravine]

They're exclusive to that game mode

You can converse them tho amongst each other

[vale widget]

Same with the watches, I assume?

[solid igloo]

do the krampuslaf squads spawn in NY or just DC?

[vale widget]

Just DC, unfortunately.

[solid igloo]

guess I'll save starting Brooklyn for after I've at least gotten my 26 keys for apparel then

[vale widget]

NY feels so neglected.
They should at least let people without the DLC into free roam for backup calls.

It's a ghost town whenever I'm there.

[left ravine]

Yes, I agree. Wish we would see them more included in priority objectives and weeklies

[vale widget]

@left ravine
Are the watches Retaliation-eclusive too?

[left ravine]

Yes

[vale widget]

Merry Ues. 🎄

[solid igloo]

since we can't see it in game is the loot table for the event gear caches posted somewhere?

[left ravine]

Everywhere

[vale widget]

I'd heard Ravenous drops from them as well. Is that false?

[left ravine]

Yes that's false

[blazing axle]

I’m finally fighting Rat Queen

Solo

I am suffering

[manic skiff]

Hey guys, Iam lvl 200, looking for a strong DPS build for PVE, are there any guides for it or any sheets I can refer to?

[blazing axle]

Update: I swapped to the Elmo’s and Strikers combo, couldn’t swap out the shield type because I was in combat (with full tags still even after I died)

[merry walrus]

Do you get the blueprints in retaliation if you're not the host or is my luck just terrible ?

[inner tendon]

I believe it's a 50% chance to get them, so think of it like flipping a coin.
It just keeps coming up heads instead of tails.

[left ravine]

Host or not doesn't matter. Best bet is heroic

Here is some detailed info about the blueprints

[rugged stratus]

ill just note overdogs isnt on this list, but the blueprint drops from hyenas retal

[blazing axle]

Imma still keep on Challenging- level 4 points always get me killed on the defense wave

[merry walrus]

All right so my luck is just terrible lmao

[left ravine]

Idk what difficulty you play on. Mostly dependant on that

[manic skiff]

Guys for backfire, how do i not let bleed apply to me when reloading

[left ravine]

You don't have to post in every channel lol

[steep void]

Maintain full 100 stack and u'll not bleed

[nocturne siren]

Decoy skill makes it easier

[blazing axle]

I just used my Strikers and Elmo’s + Bulwark and Lighting Rod lol, same with last part but I swapped Rod for Steppé cuz of the speed I needed for the SAM syncing

[nocturne siren]

Yeah using a shield would work a little. I've heard of some using PFE builds just to beat it on heroic. The mission at the end is genuinely that hard

[blazing axle]

PFE-?

And oh trust me, I did- I only died 3 times surprisingly

[nocturne siren]

PFE - protection from elites

[worldly fjord]

This pic hasn't been updated to include shroud and overdogs. One of them is from outcast kill squads and other is defending territories from hyenas

Forgot which drops from what lol

[merry walrus]

The quest is finally over

[cold pumice]

Hyenas give overdogs

[fathom agate]

And then after the season they'll be added to the general lootpool. If I understand correctly 🙂

[cold pumice]

Theyre already in the general pool.

We were talking about the crafting blueprint

[fathom agate]

Are they? Awesome. For some reason I thought it was always after the season. I always just grabbed everything with the season pass. 😛

[cold pumice]

Overdogs WERE last season

[fathom agate]

🤦

[fathom agate]

derp derp don't mind me it's 7AM

[drifting iron]

is there a ways to see the increased loot rotation for the darkzone?

[inner tendon]

@drifting iron If you open the map, you can see the targeted loot, same as the rest of the missions/LZ/etc.

[drifting iron]

apologies i mean the rotation schedule

[inner tendon]

There's no way to see the future loot in div2, it changes every day.
The only time you can tell is when you can pick it yourself, which you can only do in Retal/Countdown/Summit.

[drifting iron]

Got it. What time does is change daily?

[inner tendon]

Daily reset, which was about...7 hours ago, ish.

If you see the daily projects timer ingame, it's the same counter.

[empty robin]

Anyone know why I can’t open the Community Cache. I’ve donated a key

Nvm it just enabled 😂

[minor ferry]

Is there such a thing as unorthodox synergy builds like skill focused gear sets but running mostly red cores? lol

[somber pumice]

You could do like Conc Company with some yellows and a Capacitator. It doesn’t perform bad imo

[worldly fjord]

its everyday at <t:1766736000:T> (synced to your local time)

[inner tendon]

@worldly fjord That's not synced to reset time, just an FYI.

[worldly fjord]

Oh ill edit it

Now should be

[gleaming wigeon]

Is the Tempest dropping in the Krampuslauf gear cashes? 🤔

[left ravine]

No

[gleaming wigeon]

Ok thanks, I already got mine when the Blacklisters were completing broken but had hoped to get a friend the Tempest

[left ravine]

Floor 100 Summit or the climax mission it is

[gleaming wigeon]

Is floor 100 only guaranteed on legendary though? 🤔

[left ravine]

No, decent chances on heroic too. Idk if legendary is guaranteed

[gleaming wigeon]

Ok thanks 👍

[gleaming wigeon]

Not really worth doing legendary for 8% increase drop tbh

[bold tiger]

@gleaming wigeon btw: first time clear on a character has 100% guarantee to drop on Master Difficulty Climax missions, which you can semi cheese by creating new characters to run it and get the gun then pass it through the stash and then delete the character

[eager inlet]

I'm just gonna be that guy and say it's 12% 🙂

[cold pumice]

Math don't math

[drifting iron]

is there any way to see the list of options for the random bonus when recofiguring a weapon?

[bold tiger]

you expect a list for RNG? think it all depends on the weapon honestly. non LMG you'd want Damage to Targets out of Cover anyways regardless of your build

[quasi musk]

does regulus only drop from the winter cache if you have previously acquired it

[bold tiger]

just a chance regardless if you have gotten it i think?

[quasi musk]

ah okay

seems like the cache only wants to give me eagle bearers and ouroboros

[bold tiger]

it's a sign maybe?

went to the page for it. they don't give the percentage chances listed with it. not like the stretch goals where you have something like a .002x% i think it was? since that is contending with the other exotics including the climax mission exotics and that keep getting smaller each season

[narrow echo]

Has the game music dropped in volume? Done some summit today and its awfully quiet, settings are the same (max).

[nimble spruce]

Go to castle and check there, the music is always quite prominent.

[nimble spruce]

Rng is rng, it's not affected by whether you've already got the item or not.

[narrow echo]

Checked there. I think the music on the mega-map etc is fine. Its could be a summit issue.

[solid igloo]

They fixed the krampus bounty reset farm didn't they?

[gleaming wigeon]

12% then, Slightly intoxicated due to it being Christmas 😂

[snow prairie]

game ever froze for you guys here when claiming a commendation reward?

it unfroze now jesus that was annoying

[karmic lagoon]

im very confused, i did the mutiny hotspot mission and unlocked the dude but now theyre all locked? i tried doing the weekly thing as well but didnt work. Am I dense

I keep hearing them on my radio but theres no other mutiny hotspot as well

[snow cargo]

What do you mean by hotspot mission?

[karmic lagoon]

there was a mutiny hotspot mission that i unlocked companions from

[snow cargo]

Oh it’s this current season stuff. Derp. Ya I’m not caught up with this season.

[steep void]

No 2.66% chance of dropping regulus expect at least 100-200 cache opening

[quasi musk]

there was in fact 100 caches before i got it💔

[rugged stratus]

to unlock the other types, you need to recruit them at safehouses. assault was from the mission, medic and engineer actives will unlock after they are recruited. youll want 10 of each for one of the journey challenges. make sure the season modifier is turned on as well

[bold tiger]

and if you want to cheese their leveling can just spawn in white house. go south west a bit. nade your self until out then run back into the white house to restock grenades and go back and repeat

supposedly gets 15xp per revive from the companion this way

@formal yew not sure what the prices looks like in your region but here it is in mine for both games less than 20 USD

[formal yew]

Yeah same prices. Just trying not to go overboard on games. Currently on the fence of like 4 games

[bold tiger]

ahhh, that explains why asking about 1 or 2

[formal yew]

Yeah debating on this, Digimon Time Stranger, Pirate Yakuza, Bodycam, and SMT5V

[bold tiger]

well, no worries though. think both goes on sale quite frequently
surprised i haven't seen them both in humblebundle yet 🤔

[slim elk]

@hazy ingot

[hazy ingot]

I’m 0/14 on rolls the grind continues

[bold tiger]

I personally don't see it as a 1 in 14 to obtain it . Just a 14% chance compared to the other loot in it

[gleaming wigeon]

Is the Pestilence talent (Plague of the outcasts) classed as a status effect? 🤔

[dense basalt]

No

[gleaming wigeon]

Ok thanks 👍

[left plinth]

Possible to get an Exotic Weapon from open world activity if that area is a weapon specific targeted loot?

[nimble spruce]

Yes

[cold pumice]

Its possible to get them without targetted loot too

Its a VERY low chance though with or without

[left plinth]

I figured since I hit the same cp nearly a hundred times and not a single red drop lol and it wasnt a weapon loot targeted

[karmic lagoon]

I see them at safehouses but if I press f close to them nothing happens. The only green one for me is assault ATM. They were working fine unti I bought the dlc, and now they're no longer working.

[nimble spruce]

I've heard reports that if you start the dlc campaign after getting your first companion it can break the whole companion system

[queen widget]

Hi guys, does anyone know what impact it would have on Div2 if I changed my PlayStation account mail? normally it would also change my ID in Division 2, but will I keep all my progress (I'm SHD 6900+)? has anyone tried that already? Thank you

[cold pumice]

Your game progress is tied to the account, not its name or email address

[karmic lagoon]

That's probably what happened. Wtf do I do now

[nimble spruce]

Open a ticket with Ubisoft support, although I don't know if they'll be able to fix it. In the meantime disable the seasonal modifiers so you don't have to deal with the hostile modifiers.

[karmic lagoon]

Oh ok good call

[desert thunder]

We are not allowed to use cheat or use cheat like devices, but why is it okay for the game to cheat for an example you're fighting some people and then all of a sudden out of nowhere NPC spawn right behind you and two shot you and kill you like. It's okay for the game to cheat but it's not okay for players to cheat like where the hell gives anyways, happy holidays!

[left plinth]

Aside from crafting and bounties, what are the best/fast missions to farm Tactical assessment for each factions?

[broken light]

You can farm the summit boss floors. Just kill the guards up until the boss comes out. When the main boss is out kill em and leave just one guard alive and return to the lobby and you just repeat that as many times as you’d like.

[left plinth]

I need other factions, summit keeps giving me Black Tusk

[steep void]

complete the dlc and hope it fixes on its own, way before starting wony would mess up projects but upon completing it, it gets auto fixed

[karmic lagoon]

Yeah I'm going to work on completing the main missions and stuff and see what happens after

[craggy tartan]

Hello
Im trying to complete technician stage 5 and I need to do a invaded stronghold but I can’t seem to find any on the map.
I’m lvl 40 (443) and completed tridal basin.
When I press more options with Rosevelt island and manning zoo I can only change to manhunt mission. Can anybody help me?

[loud saddle]

did you complete the invaded missions leading up to the stronghold? (to unlock it for play)

[craggy tartan]

Is that tidal basin?

[loud saddle]

map shows bank, dcd, and white oak

[dull axle]

Named item unity alloy equalizer isnt mission locked drop right? Like that one exo mask in arny terminal

[craggy tartan]

Ah okay I did not complete white oak yet, so I need to complete that first before I unlock strongholds invaded?

[loud saddle]

yes, if you complete those mission (invaded) then the stronghold should be unlocked and available for play

[craggy tartan]

got it. Thank you sir

[left ravine]

If you haven't claimed it yet you should have the option to open the cache again. How does it look for you?

@jaunty scaffold

[bold tiger]

you can run anything that has Unit Alloy as targeted loot (summit/countdown/retaliation) and it should have a chance to drop there

[drifting iron]

Can you get the liquid engineer in countdown?

[wispy merlin]

no, it's a dz/named cache drop

[left ravine]

Farm the blueprint from Retaliations. Best way to get the rolls you want

[drifting iron]

Which faction?

[cedar schooner]

Doesn't matter. You have to get it from reconstructed caches

[left ravine]

Any. You need to buy Reconstructed Caches

Then it's RNG what you get from them. Might take a bit but better than relying on named item caches forever.

[drifting iron]

I’m a new player so forgive me for the noon questions. Where do I buy the reconstructed caches? Are those awarded at the end of a retaliation completion?

[left ravine]

All good. In general, you can get those caches from Descent and from Retaliations.

With each successful Retaliation you'll earn game mode specific materials. Part of those materials are called Broken SHD watches. To buy Reconstructed Caches via Retaliations you'll need those watches and a LOT of e-credits.

Good thing is, you can converse other Retaliation materials into those watches.

[drifting iron]

Ahh yes I was wondering what the broken watch materials was for

[minor ferry]

Is farming krampus bounties a good way to get oroborous?

[slim elk]

it's one way

[royal pendant]

After a few months of farming and constant btsu and rugged gauntlets, what’s the best way of trying to acquire the exodus gloves?

[pseudo tundra]

retaliations is an alternative since you get blueprints, i just dont remember which faction gives the exodus gloves

[slim elk]

true sons

[somber pumice]

What the best way to farm printer filaments again, just targeted loot gear mods right?

[steep void]

Yes

[solid igloo]

Have I completely misunderstood how Retaliation works? I'm being told the True Sons siezed control of West End, but I still have control of all 3 control points there.

[somber pumice]

If you don’t do the retaliation or go in there and fail it then the true sons will take control of that zone

[solid igloo]

ohh I'm blind I completely missed the section for it on the map to actually start it

[formal storm]

yeah and its also really good rewards, just dont die is my advice really hits hard

[steep void]

u can hold H and set target loot before u start the retal 😉

[left plinth]

Aside from Exotics what else is there worth doing Retaliation?
I've been seeing alot of folks doing them hence im wondering

[queen widget]

Well, the Exoctic blueprints are certainly valuable unless you already have everything. You can do target loot, and there is a lot of loot dropping (more than in countdown). Also, with the materials from Retaliations, you can buy Names Item caches that have 1 Named Item + 1 Named Item Blueprint. Otherwise, it's just a good challenge 🙂

[nocturne siren]

The "named item" cache with the item + blueprint is actually called a "Reconstruction Cache". Letting this be known now so newbies reading this don't go farming for named item caches and wondering why blueprints don't drop

[sonic zephyr]

Does anyone know why I’m not able to complete the journey mission activate tech line in combat, yet turret kills are registered?

[left plinth]

What's the average time to finish a Retal?

[queen widget]

thank you, you're right

[queen widget]

Depends on the area (=number of control points) and difficulty.

[dense basalt]

Less than 7 min

On heroic

[steep void]

That retal stat timer is bugged takes more than it shows

[dense basalt]

Really I'll time it myself next time ty

[nocturne siren]

I got you 🤝 you're basically not wrong tho describing it as a named item cache that rewards you a named item and a random blueprint 😂

[bold tiger]

@torn dune i like to make him spawn here and he was here when i went 😹

wouldn't you know it, theyr'e closed atm @torn dune

[torn dune]

closed? as in like disabled?

[queen widget]

I really don't understand why this vendor is closed so often. I stopped going after hin (after doing the bounty) because most of the time he's closed... really, does anyone know the reason for this mechanic?

[dense whale]

got the wright mask finally

flawless was so tough for me

[dense basalt]

Nice ggs

[nocturne siren]

You don't need to complete the bounty to unlock the secret vendors. Just open the bounty details and cancel it

The secret vendors also open on Wednesdays and are open basically every other day starting from Wednesday

[bold tiger]

they usually start closed, then you gotta go back the next day and visit them both. 12ish hours until they're opened

[vale widget]

You don't need to do the bounty, but yes, the mechanic is annoying.

[steep void]

in this site u can check their opening time without opening game https://divisiontimers.com/

[bold tiger]

ohhhh thanks for that , didn't know such a site existed

@dense basalt

[dense basalt]

Ty appreciate it

[steep void]

don't know why it shows ends in 2w 1d when its ending in 1w 1d, imagine people complaining about event ending early becz of this

[bold tiger]

no clue either, but that's in game now so maybe some odd desync issue from our game to their server?

[pearl pasture]

Maybe the event is 1 week but the keys ect remain for an extra week to let people open them?

[bold tiger]

shows the same 2 weeks 1 day in the events

oh snap! forgot about this!

[pearl pasture]

The division is an enigma and we will never know how it truley works xD

[bold tiger]

WHAT DID I JUST READ?!?!?!

[pearl pasture]

Oh yeah... oops. I think you can get 280~ each extraction so that is an exotic each run +loot

[pearl pasture]

This will be interesting...

[merry walrus]

Quick question, is the Equalizer already in the general loot pool or am I cooked because I put it for tinkering without really looking into it ?

[bold tiger]

yeah, i totally forgot the event tab had some "coming soon" in it and now i see that right in between a Conflict and DZ event

[bold tiger]

should be able to farm for another piece in the usual places

[pearl pasture]

Yeah it drops anywhere with the brand or chests

[bold tiger]

aka Countdown/Summit/Retaliation/open world/mission

[merry walrus]

I've been farming for it for a couple days still hadn't found one so I started to wonder if it was in it 😭

[pearl pasture]

Speaking of target loot... i hope we get the list shrunk down or something since it is starting to go off the screen

[bold tiger]

countdown/retaliation/summit are the easiest to goes since you can select unit alloy as target loot

[merry walrus]

Is it better to farm for chest or UA to get it ?

[steep void]

yes u can farm with target loot 'unit alloy' but it drops a lot less

[pearl pasture]

UA for sure

[bold tiger]

UA since t here's only 6 pieces, chest you're getting every brand and gear set possible vs 6 pieces

[pearl pasture]

Not sure where you would find them outside of the season pass or journey atm but it can also drop from this seasons caches

[merry walrus]

I'll try to switch to UA then, because chest hasn't returned anything yet, except everything but what I need

[bold tiger]

@ebon burrow btw if you and your mom wants to increase your expertise

[bold tiger]

it's how the game works. you want something badly they give you everything but that. you give up and want something different. it rains that drop on you 😹

[pearl pasture]

For a general rule of thumb unless it is an exotic you target the brand not the gear piece since there are a LOT of different brands and sets now

[merry walrus]

Fr I dropped 3 exotic holsters in 3 krampus bounties but you can't give me a goddman equalizer 😭

[steep void]

krampus today has holster target loot

[merry walrus]

Yeah that makes a lot more sense, I just thought that it'd drop less named than targeting the piece

[bold tiger]

2 months left for the season left?

[merry walrus]

I know, but I gave up on the chest to farm keys in hopes of dropping one from there hahaa

[steep void]

just so u know, to get a good roll equalizer u need to farm A LOOOOOT, i crafted mine after failed to get any in 3-4 cd/retal

[merry walrus]

How did you get the blueprint ?

[steep void]

reconstruction caches from retaliation

[pearl pasture]

Luckily it is a red core with a fixed talent so makes it easier

[merry walrus]

Oooh, I didn't think it'd give the blueprint from them since it's a recent item

[bold tiger]

except when you want chance or damage in it. it gives you everything but chance or damage 😹

[pearl pasture]

Think i managed to get an ok chc roll so i put chd on it and called it a day lol

[merry walrus]

Well thanks for the advice, I'm going back to some cd to farm for it

[pastel grail]

HAS anyone gotten the Ouroboros from the winter cache???

all i've been getting is either eagle bearer or regulus

[bold tiger]

i haven't tried honestly. got it already so all i did was the 25 keys for the apparels then however many for the community and then just opened for the krampus outfit

[inner tendon]

@pastel grail People have posted screenshots in multiple places showing off the Ouro/Reg/Eagle Bearer.

[pastel grail]

wow okay i guess my luck is really bad then

[bold tiger]

somewhere in here i think is a post of the percentage chances for things

[inner tendon]

It's a very low chance, people are just running very high numbers of keys to boost their luck.

[pastel grail]

gotten like 6 eagle bearers

[pastel grail]

I see

[bold tiger]

@pastel grail #ask-td2-community message

[inner tendon]

Think of it like a highlights video on youtube or something, where you only see the wins.

[bold tiger]

8% exotics and the 3 in there are 33.3%

[pastel grail]

yeah

[steep void]

got 1 out of 150+ cache opening 👀

[bold tiger]

nice exotic component

this better @nocturne siren 0/150 😹

[sharp osprey]

I can tell you personally I had 275 keys. All I wanted was two regulus’s for my hard-core. I got one on the 10th cache and did not see another one since. 8 EB’s that will never be used. Also, too many bell ringers to count.

[vale widget]

Is there a reason Kill Squads in Retaliation aren't dropping blueprints?
I still have ones available from all factions at the crafting bench, so what gives? Is there a cap or daily limit to how many you can get from the activity?
I went from 100% guaranteed drops to literally nothing upon eliminating them.

[sharp osprey]

Some blueprints like Empress, bell stone ,hunters fury are locked behind the season when they came out if that’s what you mean.

[vale widget]

I meant exotics, as in the blueprints you receive from eliminating Kill Squads in Retaliation.
I don't think they've ever dropped a high-end/named blueprint?

[bold tiger]

@merry walrus or go live in Retaliations/Descent until you can craft it and craft one up if you got the materials

[vale widget]

(Although, side note; that has to be one of the lamest practices they keep insisting on. I'm all for early adoption when the seasons are new, but continuing to push FoMO on blueprints and crafting afterwards almost a decade into the game's lifespan is cringe.)

[merry walrus]

Do I have to drop the bp from a retaliation cache ?

[bold tiger]

it's in Reconstructed Caches which only drops in retalation or Descent

[merry walrus]

They drop ? I can only craft them rn

[bold tiger]

via the retalation route which is pretty easy to obtain

[merry walrus]

I can craft one, imma try my luck hahah

[bold tiger]

Good luck

[merry walrus]

Welp, got the Grown Great bp 😭

[sharp osprey]

They definitely dropped the exotic blueprints. I’ve had my luck on heroic more often than not still missing seven myself.

[vale widget]

I know, I'm asking why I suddenly stopped receiving any.
I went from receiving one 100% of the time to gaining literally nothing upon killing a squad, so I'm wondering if there's some sort of "clock" on the activity that goes, "Okay, that's enough for the next 24 hours," or something.

As far as I'm aware, it's a guaranteed drop and I still have ones left to earn on my crafting bench, so there has to be a reason I'm not privy to.

[nocturne siren]

my guy is missing some named backpacks I see 👀

im way too lazy to mindlessly grind for the rest

[bold tiger]

yeah, i'm missing a lot of blueprints

least only 3 exotics so far

[steep void]

i'm at 627/662 while highest is 629/662 without all those old season blueprints u can't get at all anymore

[bold tiger]

i'd be curious what those Old Season Blueprints are

my mind instantly goes to like seasons 1-4 and maybe a few other seasons in between now and then

[steep void]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQZF6R-PYMsz9UeqCRCktZ3GW05T60Tru_BCU0J4VGSDrsB_ipKCPBNDmeSwOuQ-vigsh8h73d8Kcso/pubhtml#gid=0

[mental nexus]

Have you checked the crafting bench to make sure the method of obtaining is a kill squad. As others have a chance to drop after completing the faction retaliation not from the kill squads

[bold tiger]

you're awesome jarvis, i don't care what the other AI's says about you 😹

[steep void]

gotta thank @rough trench who maintaining all this sheets

[bold tiger]

well, i thank you as you've given me two links to utilize which i had no idea existed

[vale widget]

I didn't even think to check for a difference on that particular type of phrasing, but that would explain it if I've already got everything from the Kill Squads I suppose. 🤔
I'll have to check tomorrow. Is the drop chance on completion reasonable?
(Not that it matters, I suppose, since I'll be living in them forever due to only receiving one SHD watch per run. 😭)

[mental nexus]

It's decent. The highest amount of retaliations I had to run for a BP was 4. Just seems unlikely it's a kill squad and it hasn't dropped yet

[nocturne siren]

how tf you have more than me 💀

[vale widget]

Well, hopefully my luck on groups improves. For some reason today all I got were people who'd died twice in the first 2-3 minutes and then disconnect out of shame, so it was a painful go of things.

(Also, who RPs as Shaw? Lol. At least your SMG is dope.)

[mental nexus]

I'm not role-playing, that's my name

[vale widget]

Of course, my mistake. 😅

[drifting iron]

I know you can share materials and blue prints but is there a way to share money between characters?

[wispy merlin]

no

[queen widget]

however, you get big amounts of money from your SHD points on your watch (sometimes using just 1 SHD is enough)

[vale widget]

How is anyone ever out of money in this game?

What are you spending it on?

[queen widget]

Crafting for unicorns

Crafting actually costs money too

[bold tiger]

optimizing sub optimal stuff out of laziness of farming for a better piece of gear/weapon

[wispy merlin]

new characters also don't have a lot of money which is the case for Maverick

[drifting iron]

Made a new character to craft purple yaahl gear

[vale widget]

Ah, that'll do it.

[bold tiger]

yaahl craftable? how? i know in PTS i've gotten a few with that random brand option

mostly so i could try crafting up a ceska chest since i didn't have one in PTS 😹

[vale widget]

I just optimize 'cause I'm lazy. 🤷‍♂️

[wispy merlin]

there are blueprints yeah

[drifting iron]

Make a new character boost to level 30 using WONY expansion. Don’t upgrade bench. Craft purple yaahl gear. Breakdown for possible yellow yaahl materials

[bold tiger]

oh? if only i knew that 😹 i just pray hollowman goes on sale and i just buy a bunch and crunch

[drifting iron]

Speaking of going on sale. When was the last time the clan vendor had yaahl gear for sale?

[drifting iron]

What’s PTS?

[wispy merlin]

public test server

[bold tiger]

they usually run them towards the end of one season with the next season gears and weapons

[dull axle]

Is the tinkerer in the summit exotic lootpool?

[drifting iron]

Do you get to keep the gear u get there?

[cedar schooner]

Its a reward for completing the manager climax mission on master

[wispy merlin]

no, it's wiped every time it goes offline

[cedar schooner]

It also has a drop chance on lower difficulties there

[bold tiger]

doubt it if you haven't. just run potomac climax and you get one in the single digits from normal to heroic, master first time clear is 100%

[wispy merlin]

basically your main account is copied to PTS and they give you access to the next season's stuff so you can test

it's purely for you to test and give feedback before next season goes live

[bold tiger]

then master with character who gotten is like 15% plus or minus some numbers

@cedar schooner if you only saw the companions in PTS you'd be like holy hell it's different 😹

[dull axle]

Ahh poo

[drifting iron]

Is the clan selling yaahl gear a still a thing or has it been patched?

[cedar schooner]

It does not seem to have been patched yet, but it doesn't happen very often

[drifting iron]

Gotcha. Anyone know when was the last time he sold yaahl gear?

[bold tiger]

couldn't tell ya honestly. i barely pay attention to clan vendor resets

did that Countdown event start this friday and ends today?

[nocturne siren]

ends today im pretty sure

[cedar schooner]

Best guess is 7 months ago

Not really indicative of anything though. Its all random

[thin cape]

Is TD2 the only game out there where DLC content is forced upon all customers of the base game who don't even own any DLCs? (I just bought a DLC and THERE WAS NO download or installation, I could instantly transition from DC to New York.......)

[bold tiger]

warlords of new york, offers 8 masks, 1 named chest and 4ish skills. battle for brooklyn offers 8 masks, 1 named ar, exotic mask and 1 skill. but really not required unless you're a completionist

[nocturne siren]

COD: WWII also does this

[bold tiger]

but i imagine those who don't own ny and brooklyn still sees them on the map to travel tobut are pushed to the store to purchase said DLC's

[snow prairie]

does everyone have 10 extra shd tech in their resources tab?

[bold tiger]

probably, but i never really look anymore 😹

[loud saddle]

I have 9 shrug

[thin cape]

Ah, so Sledgehammer Games, Inc. was the 1st culprit in 2017, then Massive Entertainment AB/ Red Storm Entertainment, Inc. followed that design in 2019. How awful 😭

[bold tiger]

still not sure where you get the forced to own all the DLC's bit when each seasonal content is purely in the base game. about 3 seasons ago the made it so you can got 31-40 in DC alone now so no need to own WONY anymore but wony was the bare minimum before that change if you wanted to keep up with the rest of the population who were level 40's

[rough quarry]

Hey I've been trying to do the first mission for the Scout (which says The Ring safehouse wants help clearing the area of true sons) for like a week now but I just cannot get any true sons to take control points in east mall

[bold tiger]

take your chance with retaliation and pray they target east mall, or take it and hope a truesons control point is semi close to a control point in east mall and just turn it white "not call the friendlies in" and wait for them to attack said control point

[rough quarry]

"get lucky" damn

That's what I'm worst at

[bold tiger]

not sure how many Capitol buildings you'd have to run, but that'd probably help it a bit

1 capitol build = 100% aggravated Truesons for Retaliations

[rough quarry]

I'll keep that in mind thanks

It's already 100% lmao

[drifting iron]

Are the houndsman bounties still a thing? I heard you can get yaahl gear from it

[bold tiger]

Not sure yeah but houndsman been gone for 2 months? Was a Halloween event

About only reason. People do it is for the quickstep pistol

[merry walrus]

Quick question, what are the hunter dogtags used for ? I keep collecting them but I can't find them anywhere in my inventory and have no idea what they even are used for

[cedar schooner]

They're from countdown exclusively, and basically they're converted to countdown credits at the end of every countdown.

You should be able to see that on the countdown end screen

[merry walrus]

Oh I didn't notice, I thought they were some crafting material so I was confused when I couldn't find them in my inventory

Another question, how does one acquire the ivory keys ?

[cedar schooner]

Killing the DC open world hunters

There's a bunch of guides on YT

[merry walrus]

I've never encountered one I think, maybe I should look into those guides, I imagine they drop pretty good stuff too

[bold tiger]

just know a few are night time spawns for in game 21:00 to like 05:00 or something like that

[cedar schooner]

Yeah they typically have a small mechanic to trigger them.

Like saluting to a statue at the right time.

[bold tiger]

think if you fail, you can start it again right away given the time you have if it's a night time thing

think long time ago, you failed. you'd have to wait 24 hours to try again or something of that sort

[merry walrus]

Oh, yeah I may not have found them by myself if some trigger mechanisms are so precise

[bold tiger]

yeah, usually it's several mechanics

[merry walrus]

Yeah I just started watching a vid on it, I wouldn't have found the Demon one by myself, like the target thing is so random and missable that I wouldn't even have thought about it

[bold tiger]

why i love vids or pictures

[vale widget]

Quick question.
Is there an agreed minimum armor to aim for?
Like, an ideal number to float around to minimize breaks?

[cedar schooner]

No

Generally DPS is what you're going for. As much as possible

[vale widget]

Yes, but I will be hit with bullets eventually. 🤷‍♂️

[cold pumice]

As little as possible in most situations.

[vale widget]

Is it still red supremacy?

[cold pumice]

Bullets hurt alot, adding more armour won't help. Killing enemies faster means they cant hurt you

Good positioning and gameplay to minimize the hits you take while having open firing lanes.

[vale widget]

I mean, I did say "minimum". 🤷‍♂️

[snow prairie]

learn to use the cover Olly

[vale widget]

I love the cover, Lotor.

But eventually bullets use the Olly.

[cold pumice]

Put it this way:

On high difficulty with a maximum blue core build you'll take probably 1/2 additional hits before you hit health gate.

Meanwhile, you'll deal next to no damage and kill even less.

A legendary elite sniper will still health gate you with full blue.

[vale widget]

I just meant if there was a minimum that wouldn't break to a couple shots or half a shotgun's spread. Stuff like that.

If you played Destiny, I'm asking for whatever 6 "resilience" would be, if that makes sense.

(Well, what that meant in Destiny when I used to play.)

[merry walrus]

Well, it doesn't work for the hunter lmao, I shoot the targets he doesn't spawn

[cold pumice]

You're trying to compare an apple and an orange there

[pearl pasture]

What you are probably thinking of would be protection from elites. Not health but damage reduction

[cold pumice]

6 resiliance in division is try not to get shot as much as possible

[fresh gale]

in PvE just go full red or yellow (if Skill Build) unless you go tank. DPS builds sometimes use shields and other skills to create a gap / control the field. Positioning yourself to use it, means you wont get hit.

DZ / PVP make use of Blue Core DPS builds, other than that.. its less beneficial.

Some DPS builds can get by with 1-2 blue cores for Armor on Kill stuff or something along those lines and while you can still complete everything comfortably with up to 3 blue cores in Solo Heroic, in groups, you def want to go full red e.g. always, due to the way how scaling works - so you can just go and play that in solo aswell 😄

[vale widget]

I was just wondering, because I wanted to make sure I wasn't in a situation where people were like, "I can't believe you only have X amount of armor for this encounter," etc.

[fresh gale]

99% of the playerbase run a Striker Build which has the lowest amount of armor anyways, so you will be fine in that regard 😄

[vale widget]

Yes, but I also see a lot of Striker builds die immediately. 😅

[fresh gale]

Run Memento then - blue and yellow core + sustain 😄

[pearl pasture]

If you ever play with pgc you quickly learn to understand that 2 shots is enough and how strong healthgating is. For most content you will have better results with more dps less health. Very few places are tank builds useful. But remember there is plenty to use to help survive like decoy, hive, trap, foam. Plenty of stuff

[vale widget]

Daring, aren't we? 😅
I'm trying not to use Memento for a bit. It was becoming a dependency, lol.
Too good in comparison to like 95% of its competitors, womp womp.

[vale widget]

That's what I was asking.
If there was a minimum armor for maximizing gates.

[wraith kelp]

@vale widget

[vale widget]

Like, "Hey, if you run at least 1 blue core, you survive a shotgun at X meters," etc.

[cedar schooner]

Nah

[fresh gale]

you will always survive when you use the "healthgate" correctly.

[pearl pasture]

Basically no, it is just no matter what on armour break and health drop you will be left on a very tiny amount with a very slight immunity to damage time frame.

Some stuff will bypass it like damaging yourself and being already hurt ect

Works very similarly to borderlands healthgating i find, if you have ever played borderlands 2.

[vale widget]

No, I get that. The health gate is the only reason I've ever been dragged across the finish line. 😅
I just mean, like, you could survive 1 more shot from X or a few more rounds from Y from stuff if you had at least Z amount of armor, if that makes sense.
The reason I used the Destiny comparison is because while DPS was always strong there too, in stuff like PvP (and PvE) you could gate your armor stat by hitting certain bare minimum thresholds so things would take an additional round to kill you.
I guess I was just wondering if there was an equivalent one here (🤔), but it seems like the consensus is to go entirely into 1 color?

[pearl pasture]

In pve, blues are basically useless. Less dps just makes things harder overall. You could do a split like 4 reds 2 blues or as someone else mentioned stuff like the memento can be nice and running that with an extra blue or two is perfectly fine for soloing. It isn't always going to help but you can do 6 red with protection from elite mods to help compensate their higher damage but reds and vets will still shred you

[cold pumice]

Health gate is set, it can't be increased.

Adding armour will increase the hits you can take before you hit it but will be too costly to your damage.

Health gate is just an anti one shot mechanic and should be treated like it.

[pearl pasture]

Pairing high dps with say armour on kill will always work out better than stacking extra armour and struggling to kill things. High armour builds just don't work too well in heroic+ content

[vale widget]

My Captain America TP build can do this all day. 😭

[cold pumice]

Oh no....

[vale widget]

Because that's how long it takes.

[cold pumice]

I will say this, in case it wasnt a joke. TP is the WORST gear set. Bar none

[bold tiger]

so when you group with people with it, you're dead weight they're carrying?

[cold pumice]

Exuro comes close. But TP should only be used to wipe your ass with

[wispy merlin]

i need blues to survive

[vale widget]

I know, but I love my boy.
He's like a golden retriever of a man. He doesn't know any better.

[vale widget]

How many do you like to run?

[pearl pasture]

Still hoping for an exuro buff to make it like the old flame turret div1 style 🙏

[wispy merlin]

all of them

[cold pumice]

He doesnt lol

[vale widget]

I like Exuro.
Skill issue. 🤷‍♂️

[bold tiger]

problem with div 2 fire turret is it's health goes quickly with the flame coming out of it

[cold pumice]

Using Exuro is a skill issue, I agree

[vale widget]

Turret go brr.
The meme lives on.

[pearl pasture]

I love it, but it just sits there in a bad place with eclipse being so strong. Needs a reason to be used is all.

[bold tiger]

Eclipse does better with fire

[pearl pasture]

Still think the extra damage to on fire enemies should be a team buff

[wispy merlin]

i like fire turret too

[cold pumice]

EP Burn is the king of status

[wispy merlin]

it is a team buff if you mean the backpack talent

[pearl pasture]

It is??? Aw man i thought it wasn't...

[wispy merlin]

yeah it is, that's the misunderstood part of the set

[pearl pasture]

Either way i miss firecrest xD

[pearl pasture]

Well thanks for telling me, i was confused on that for a good while.

Still think eclipse + setup + scorpio is better but mainly because the flame turret doing spins can be awkward.

[vale widget]

I dunno man, I mostly play on Challenging/Heroic so it doesn't really matter unless it's 1 of like 4 activities. 🤷‍♂️

Legendary is for "the boys", because suffering the endgame in silence with randoms makes Jack a dull boy. 🤪

[wispy merlin]

i don't have many friends so i mostly play solo

i need blues to survive

[vale widget]

I have a clan and I still play solo a lot, but that's just because this is one of my comfort games, lol. I just be walkin' around lookin' at stuff sometimes.

[fresh gale]

and here i am - not using Green Sets at all 😄

then again, i dont play skill builds because they get countered in some content all the time.

[hidden quiver]

Where can i find this mask in Division 2? Does anyone know?

[bold tiger]

think NY hunters?

[sick stream]

can items from the winter cache be shared?

[bold tiger]

believe so, but you gotta be together in a group when you use your keys

[sick stream]

sweet, thanks for the info

[bold tiger]

i don't honestly know, i'm just assuming that's how it'd work 😹

[delicate tartan]

No you cant share loot from winter event caches

[hidden quiver]

I've looked around, and it's not from the hunters apparently, i looked at all of them, but i can't find it

[bold tiger]

pretty sure it was a Hunters mask. Thorn i think?

yeah, Thorn Hunter mask

ok i don't know then. i've googled it and it looks like it was in the store for premium credits

[nocturne siren]

It was yes. Exclusive bundle recently

[hidden quiver]

Oh man... 🙁 Thanks for the answer at least

Why not letting it in the store? Damn

[left ravine]

FOMO, hoping people spend money on MTX quick

I hate that as well

Only makes me spend less money on in-game items lol. Not my loss

[bold tiger]

swore i never bought it if it costed premium but apparently i did lol

[left ravine]

Yeah it was a premium bundle last season

[nocturne siren]

Many bought the mask but not the outfit check for the outfit. I personally only bought the mask

[bold tiger]

i probably got the outfit too

[left ravine]

The Deathroll bundle came out at the same time. If they published a black version of it I would get it. The white version of it looks like you're running around with toilet paper in your pants

[nocturne siren]

You look like toilet paper with gator skin running around to begin with

Then again, Nick from L4D2 had it worse

[left ravine]

His voice lines made up for it

[raven mountain]

I don't understand why they use this rotation system for skins, why they don't present them all in the shop and you as the player decide if you want to buy it or not, you have to wait every time for your favorite skin to appear in the shop only for it to appear at a bad time when you don't have enough money to buy it
Respect your playerbase and they will respect you in return.

[left ravine]

It's an age old model and not meant for the player base but for their revenue

Many MMO games have this system

[nocturne siren]

I agree. I wanted the bloody hunter fit for a while and it finally returned .. twice the price later

[bold tiger]

doubled the price each time?

[nocturne siren]

Nah the bloody hunter was part of a 10 dollar manhunt 1.0 pass before project resolve

They re-released it for 20 dollars. The whole season pass that season was 10$ and it was the completion reward

[sick stream]

it kinda works. but the trick is you need to have full inventory, then when the item drops on the ground, you clear 1 space from your inventory, pick up the loot then you can share it

[snow prairie]

will doing control points at level 3/4 always give a new blueprint? or will they sometimes give me blueprints i already have?

[wispy merlin]

always new

[nocturne siren]

Always new blueprints every single time. If you stop getting blueprints that means you have already earned all of the blueprints

[snow prairie]

alright i need to get to grinding for the field recon data bundle blueprint then

[sick stream]

i got a weired behavior with lexington. if my inventory is full, it doesnt drop on the ground it goes straight to my stash. all other items i got dropped on the ground only this weird behavior with lexington for some reason

[bold tiger]

i'd say probably because lexington along with Turmoil were only grantable items

AKA prevent people from losing it randomly. say they get it and game crashes with delta or something and you log back in and it's just gone sort of situation

[sick stream]

yeah that makes sense

[rugged stratus]

Money bags here with all the good drip

[snow prairie]

is eclipse protocol viable with bluescreen?

[nocturne siren]

No. Better off just using Scorpio and applying Foam

[blazing axle]

Guys, you think those two legged hounds are ever gonna be real?

It’s so cursed yet so goofy

[rugged stratus]

its not common but not totally unviable. for cc it can work, but youll miss out on giving your team 20% amp from scorpio...
for damage (fire)eclipse, hell na, better off with capacitor and insync shotgun to boost fire damage

[left ravine]

Two legged hounds?

[inner tendon]

Cheese dreams are wild.

[snow prairie]

Alright just need to find me a capacitor then. I have some named ARs with perfectly in sync. I can stick with the Scorpio but sometimes I seem a bit squishy. Its fun though, did Roosevelt on heroic solo, died twice but thats besides the point.

[rugged stratus]

youll want to use eclipse when space is limited forcing npc's to stay within range. roosevelt is pretty open, same with capital.. i wouldnt eclipse on either because the range will limit spread

nice thing about using capacitor, youll grant 60% skill damage by keeping it stacked, the 12% damage to armor 2nd attribute will benefit fire damage, and also the capacitor will be using the skill cores as red cores giving it teeth on a skill build

it will also be the top choice for turret/drone builds as well as explosive skill builds

[blazing axle]

Yeeep!!!

Like those vids of Dogmeat standing up on hind legs to climb over a big fence

[inner tendon]

I can confirm that actual dogs will do that too.

[left ravine]

Those warhounds exist irl. I'd imagine they're able to jump too

Scary stuff

To give ya high paw! :DD

[blazing axle]

The dog with my GM-K9 counts as one.

Scarier if I saw one coming at me with a crowbar in hand, ready to bonk.

[solid igloo]

Do any of the legacy manhunt targets after the recruiter have annoying gimmicks that seriously benefit from a 2nd hand?

[pseudo tundra]

Would say the recruiter is the hardest one

Maybe the conley ballpark one being second hardest

Stovepipe?

[solid igloo]

oh Stovepipe didn't give me much trouble at all. I got roasted the first time but once I knew to keep my distance it was fine

[dense basalt]

Theos makes it easier with other players. More mechanics

[wispy merlin]

if you count masters the newer masters are all hard in their own ways

[solid igloo]

I'm only 2 scouting tasks deep in whatever the current manhunt system is. Just trying to clear all the legacy ones in order on normal for story reasons.

[wind rain]

First time playing in over a year…what would you recommend I do

[bold tiger]

solild build, about only improvement you can do is upgrade your backpack to a unicorn named backpack that gives you Perfect Opportunistic for a smidgen of increase in uptime or damage your teammates do

[steep void]

And use quickstep, days of kard custom is gone

[bold tiger]

there's a spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice pins (upper right hand corner of discord) with other builds you can go for. striker is usually the first goto to use to make other builds

[solid igloo]

Holy hell that was so much easier with just one other person for him to shoot at

[bold tiger]

only annoying gimmicks i can think of is Camp White Oak

[solid igloo]

yeah Recruiter's the one I just paired up for

[wind rain]

What is this exactly?

What is days of kard custom?

[slim elk]

Quickstep pistol.
It's just a way of saying that using TDI Kard Custom has been left in the past.

[bold tiger]

nods halloween event they gave those out like candy and it's since replaced the pistol slot 😹

[limpid sequoia]

such a shame you can't put gear mod appearances onto exotics

[inner tendon]

It was talked about changing things a while ago, but a request down in #1380126780152614944 will never hurt.

[bold tiger]

@swift sentinel here's the bounties

[limpid sequoia]

i'm still having an incredibly hard time picking out what striker build to use

right now i'm going back to striker bag with equalizer/sacrifice and overdogs

i think equalizer can still do leggo but the extra amp from sacrifice is a god send

ig eq for normal and sacrifice for leggo

[subtle grove]

Are the BTSU data gloves good for a striker build

[limpid sequoia]

no

[wispy merlin]

it's less so the amp cuz equalizer vs sac is just ~4% in difference, it's just that sac doesn't require buildup

[limpid sequoia]

ahh interesting

[wispy merlin]

otherwise if we ignore the brand it would just be 1.24 vs 1.3

cuz obli gives total weapon damage right which is another multiplier, but if you got no other twd source it basically is ×1.24

[limpid sequoia]

ye ye

[wispy merlin]

the brand tho makes it interesting cuz you also got an effective ×1.05 in dps

but watered down a bit because striker already gives 15% rof so a bit less, but you get the point

sac requiring no buildup is still why i use it over eq

[limpid sequoia]

ig i'm more curious about a non-overdogs setup then at that point if both eq and sac work well for leggo then what about without overdogs? i've heard(?) that it falls off slightly at leggo but it still seems fine for me

[limpid sequoia]

fair

[wispy merlin]

it requires you to change target priority basically cuz you can't just aim at whatever is highest risk

in most encounters it will probably work but not all of them.

think tidal lego when you get to hovercraft. the lowest tier enemy there is drone op and mini tank (tier 2), while dogs and controllers are tier 1. your natural action to start off there would be to emp dogs and kill them fast right? but that goes against overdogs

[limpid sequoia]

i did try out the gift + sacrifice and while that was solid vigilance is a huge turnoff for me

[wispy merlin]

you can get good with it. don't pay attention to losing it that much. the uptime you get overall more than pays off

[limpid sequoia]

i suppose

[wispy merlin]

basically don't have selection bias towards when it's down

cuz like... when it's down too much, you'd be already dead

[limpid sequoia]

well yeah

[wispy merlin]

but yeah some encounters like tidal lego ramp like i described won't work well with overdogs

[limpid sequoia]

i've sort of given up on chest striker, i'm able to keep stacks up but idk if it's too worth

[wispy merlin]

you can probably find other examples. i did give my honest try. but the fights where they don't work just give me a sour taste

and yeah chest striker is like not used at all for me rn for the past few months

also i did a solo master for the pact, overdogs just would be useless against marauders for example cuz there are tier 3 adds when i want the marauders to die faster

[limpid sequoia]

i could go equalizer and salvo instead of overdogs
but i do lose some chd unless i want to use a normal piece

[slim elk]

not in the slightest

[wispy merlin]

imo either go 2p UA or just equalizer

equalizer + salvo i don't think is that good cuz yeah you lose crit and you're forced onto AR
