yeah
imo 2p UA is too restrictive cuz optimally you want a situationally strong secondary and it often times won't be AR
@swift sentinel list of missions you requested
makes sense
good alternative to overdogs even though you lose the amp
though i imagine it's worse than sacrifice + gift
it's worse yeah
i was in this conundrum like you where idk how else to improve on sac gift
until i stumbled on gr9 frenzy
oh yeah thinking about ditching acs secondary now, either going to use dark winter, smg-9 with unwavering, gr9 frenzy, or apartment
yeah with sac gift just ditch acs
there it is
tidal lego ramp is so much more consistent with gr9 frenzy dude like holy
i burn the dogs super fast then move onto mini tanks and other adds before the first heli drops
i should probably get a gr9 frenzy assuming i don't have one
yeah, when you do, use reload speed mag
if not i can maybe just use dark winter or smg-9 unwavering
is there much difference in the stone LMG compard to GR9?
stoner takes too long to empty mag, you want it to be right under 9s
gr9 and m249/mk46 are top LMGs for frenzy on striker rn, gr9 has better reload
m60 is best on tipping scales for frenzy but... it's m60
oh the RPM are completely different between the 2 😹
i have seen someone use equlizer + ua bag with vigilance
not that good since both add to twd which will have less value
thought so
so ig here's my builds for striker now:
normal gameplay: 4p striker with bag, sacrifice/equlizer, overdogs
leggo: 4pc striker, either 2pc ua using eq and normal, or sacrifice + gift
primary is still the usual i imagine
st elmo for sustain and lexi with killer for burst
yeah
that's solid. i like ceska glass and OD for the 2% more burst against things without heads.
but sacrifice is great too esp if your hsd rate is above 20%
trying not to use od for leggo because it falls off slightly but i do like od a lot (assuming od is overdogs)
i agree and didn't really use it in leggo before this season. but with seasonal mods turned on it doesn't fall off anymore.
right now i kind of just need to try and do this stuff solo, i have the damage and the build but need to learn positioning and spawns for leggo
because you'll get rushers and grenadiers with blue shields and they're super tanky. so your usual spawn wipes will fail.
like if you're trying to solo wipe a chopper spawn at 4 player scaling. and then one dude has a blue shield - it gets spicey
but yea without modifiers OD def falls off hard
i like consistency so even if i like od i can't deny it feels good to get rid of it
such a wrinkley brain, i love it
i like consistency too
dont you copy him
but the pact boss doesn't.
@limpid sequoia whats ur ubi. we should do some runs
Pyramiiid
kidnap me too when u guys run
unfortunately Pyramid is taken so i make do
leggo builds
as long as you don't go to a particular YT with 3 Leggo builds where 2 are the exact same builds but different exotic weapons 😹
i find that the less i look at yters for the games i play the better i enjoy the game
or was it different backpacks?
my favorite build. i made it 30 everything i love it so much lol
man do i need to farm expertise
only expertise 10 here
i don't think you do, but it probably does help a tad bit?
it actually helps a good amount if you play the chip damage game
30% more wd is pretty significant
i play solo heroic and don't notice the difference honestly 😹
(i meant the gear). it doesn't save you or anything. but if you're expecting to dps trade and take little bits of damage over time it just gives you more time to shoot.
only minor quibble is if you showcase your runs some ppl will claim you can only do it b/c of expertise 😄
how does one even come to this conclusion
The same way Dien gets accused of cheating.
People fear what they dont understand.
they don't know about pools (or "buckets") in the damage formula. they think expertise 30 is 30% more overall damage. they think it's an amp basically.
^ hence why streamline is a "popular" talent
i blame youtubers 😹
i feel like you’d notice a much bigger difference if it was amp
they dont look at the numbers
luckily for me i both play and am much more knowledgeable on warframe so i understand different “pools” of multipliers
yea its common in ARPGs as well
thats also why people run walker harris on AR dps builds. they see 5% damage and think it's an amp.
crazy
when it comes to builds, Mrchow, Dien and Ikia are my gotos
ikia is great need to watch him more often
Dien is just Average
i tease @wispy merlin about them hacking 😹
yea ikia is awesome. he's so rigorous with analysis. and shows the nuance where some builds can be really strong situationally.
increased my enjoyment of the game 100x when i was learning stuff
there's so many cool things you can do if you build for specific encounters and enemies
and then someone says nO bUiLd DiVeRsItY 🤦♂️
though @wispy merlin popped my legendary zoo cherry 😹
which must've been painful how many times we had to start over
Everyone should see ikia's latest short about overdog and why its the best exotic in the game now 😁
mine sits in the stash mostly
i mean... they're right
wtf is that pfp bro
Question for anyone:
What is your favourite grenade in div2? I think mine is either emp or fire.
The fire grenade is very strong, especially with sledge.
Foam grenade is nice for locking down targets.
Flashbang is nice because it has a massive radius.
Oh i forgot about flashbangs. Those are really good too.
Emp, either disable an enemy skill such as a healing station or force an enemy out of cover
Honestly I dont really use grenade that often execpt against Hunters
That's fair! I love emps for the same reason. Actually been using them more this season with the crazy true son turrets.
Those things does an absurd amount of damage yeah
foam nade for sure
fire nade
Might be because i run foam launcher so often but i rarely use my foam nades when i am on gunner. They are pretty good though. I remembered them being slower to "explode" than when i used one recently
can you get the blue screen from countdown or exotic caches?
got mine from exotic cache from season pass
no way
The lack of sentence structure there gave me a headache.
Is there a way to sort mods out by stat? Like sorting my crit chance mods from highest to lowest?
Delta is back anyone else having issues just logged in and Upto 3 already in 3 different cd at start
@unkempt flax We can see the filtered message, another comment like that and it will go to an official warning.
Tone it down in the future.
And tone down the spam, you don't need to post the same message in 6 different channels.
Now you got me curious
Sorry, mod policy. But if it gets bad in replies, ping me or whoever is here and we'll sort it out.
Sry to be a pest but anyone else having Delta issues on playstation
There looks to be some kind of massive internet attack going around online, it's affecting a ton of stuff.
Ok thanks 🙏🏻
combo that with it being xmas time and you've got a recipe for choppiness.
EB has received buffs tho. Crit buffs
Sure, I'll go get Mrs Ubisoft on the line and tell them to read your swearing message.
Understand I just wanted to make sure so I don't uninstall and reinstall thinking it is me
@last eagle It's honestly sort of up in the air right now, restarting your internet at the wall will never be a bad idea.
EB was nerfed due to its base gun being nerfed back in 2019, and some people still haven't gotten over it.
Talk about holding a grudge.
This is England vs France levels of "so old no one can remember why".
Well the eb is perfect for me as I am a returning player and new to all reds
I was thinking Napoleon and my guy that's not an AI. That's a living person
EB is perfectly servicable for mid-end game stuff, and a fine PvP weapon from what the gremlins tell me.
It's not terrible in pvp but it's a very high risk high reward gun to use
People are just spoonfed braindead easy to use weapons bc "efficiency"
I'd not bother continuing this conversation any more, their filtering is getting a bit much.
What is working overtime rn is probably the chat filter
Well that was a bit much.
oh well
Let me (or whoever is active at the time) know if they are!
okay back to our regularly scheduled programming of teasing local' about mortars.
Wyvern somewhere: I'm gonna blow up the motherf---ing white house!
Aww...we miss ALL the good stuff because AI blocks it all :p
Sounded entertaining thougj
I feel like they honestly just wanted a weapon thats broken overpowered.
They're probably struggling this season without Zealot or Sanitation
What's sad is you're probably right
I could easily make a 3-5minute montage of me dying to tenacity after a 3k 😄
I think I have a few clips of where I try to 1v6 and I almost did it
The only way I was able to accomplish that was in striker
haven't touched my EB build in a hot minute tho, even tho I remade it this season with some UA pieces. I've been just running Reggy mostly lately.
Hey guys! Looking for an opinion. When div2 came out I played all the way through on Xbox and then quit. I’ve recently picked it up on ps5, is there any reason I shouldn’t use the level boost or is there some reason I should play through the levels again?
Eagle bearer is my favorite gun of all time so I use it pretty religiously. I typically use it whenever I go dark zone landmark farming or whenever I feel like turning my brain off and solo and using striker memento
Occasionally I will throw it on an umbra build in pvp
Not really. Unless you care about achievements, and you can always get those later
So I should boost?
If you want to.
Nobody can answer that question for you
When I switched platforms I did. The base game is fun, but I really wanted to get back into the end game
I understand which is why I framed my original question as asking for opinions.
Good point. Thanks!
You won't miss anything except the story.
Since you already know the story, there's no harm in it.
If you want to skip to end game, do it.
You can always reverse that decision
Thanks!
Ymmv, but the two PC accts I used the boost on don’t drop skill mods other than Firefly for the most part
this might sound dumb but how do i progress on the brooklyn dlc? i just finished the quest where you ||find out sarah is the rat queen|| and the game hasnt given me any other mission slots. I even tried clearing the map and control points, theres also nothing on the washington map
try relogging and/or restarting the game - i had to do it once too
just tried, nothing
thats the dlc that fudged up my companion progress. I wonder if ill need to complete WONY to unbug everything but
i didnt even open anything WONY related
it was WONY related
I'm modernizing myself sir
Looks like a zoomer Gumby.
45% chances legendary summit only
Thank you, So definitely 12% better drop chance over heroic, As I may have originally thought it was 8% 😂
but yeah up to you which difficulty you wanna go with, but I'm not gonna lie here, the best thing ? Be nice one another and check with everyone in your group. If they can help you feel free to request them to set their target loot to pistol to honor your favor and they are more than welcome to help you too as long you SPEAK of it
I got mine from them because I kindly request to them and they ack'ed
Best xmas ever :
Regulus + Tempest
pistol targeted loot doesn't affect it btw
it's still 45% regardless of targeted loot
well he put target loot as pistol and got and shared with me, not saying I don't agree with you
Which one’s better for stripping NPC armor: 6% damage to armor or 10% damage to targets out of cover?
why not both?
cause hate to see it's not being utilized from the gear where weapon is ar and other fox prayer only for rigle
damage to targets out of cover is usually a better attribute for your third attribute instead of dta
unless if it's lmgs then you want crit chance for your third attribute
hey for the 2pc ua build it doesn't seem that bad if i use salvo instead of a normal ua piece
55 chc 120 chd with elmo seems ok
whats the site
👍
personally i feel salvo is still better for that small 10% rof buff it gives, but probably just me thinking it'd be better than taking any other holster
I use this but with Measured Lexington, it's really nice
measured lexi is >>>
it's a shame we can't ever have a Frenzied Lexington 😹
huntsman isn't too bad being a named famas with perfect frenzy
Not a Frenzy fan, goes against my nature to allow the magazine to run out. Too much down time 😛
it's really strong tho
well, unlike the LMG reload AR is a bit quicker
Frenzy GR9 is nice, but the magazine is too big lol
Yeah it's good, I just naturally reload all the time lol
i go stoner. 325 with 50 mag from gunner 😹
it's like situationally good. i like it for massive waves of exposed enemies
I'm the kind of person that reloads a single round....took me a LONG time to play Helldivers 2 well for that reason lol
i'm the same. even if i only shot a single round i'll reload before the next encounter 😹
it takes practice. you can probably see on my master run how it blasts the marauders
i have a gr9 with frenzy it has a max chc roll but a piss poor dttooc roll
optimizing it will be a pain lol
What you get by finding all 40 Christmas presents?
I swear to god, if the reward is a damn arm patch.
Santa outfit
I already have that from previous years.
Lol I think it's just an arm patch and a commendation honestly
it has a slightly brighter red color 
what's the current incursion striker setup with backfire?
a bunch of named items from the presents for you then maybe? i know i got 40 named items from it i think. barely paid attention aside trying to figure out from pictures where i needed to be for the present and looking hard for a few
each present gives a random named item
Well, I think with my blueprint Library, I will pass.
never heard of it honestly, but i know any striker build can help in it incuding the chest striker
only Fomo you'd suffer is not getting the krampus from community chest and the 25 apparel in same chest
if you don't want to pay premium credits for them that is
@snow cargo
Already have those, collectibles are the ones I hate, like go watch a yt video to find them all player bcs we know you don't want to look for all of them by your own. 
i pretty much followed the reddit picture map for them but i was stuck at 39/40 then i saw somene post a 2d map with all the presents. so i started in 1 area and went backwards from 40 and found my 40th present i didn't catch
got any idea what the new game mode japanese will get to play in january @junior sequoia ? think someone here thinks it'll be a beta Survivors
Probably, don't know I will be around for that mode, I'm done paying ps+ for more than one player modes
Just an FYI, you didn't have to wait for the 40th...you could have just used another character or gone on someone elses map 😛
nah, reddit posthad 39/40 which i followed religiously. it was the 2d map and going from 40 to 1. think it was like 36th present in that map that was the one i missed. would've missed the one in the park with the nade one if i couldn't have gotten on some kind of box to see over the ledge that looks like we can get upto and drop down from. looked for a way up for the longest time and just about gave up, then was like let me throw a nade up. got my named item 😹
Strikers Chest & BP, Salvo and either Overdogs or Bloody Knuckles.
ah i thought the last piece would just be sokolov or something
makes sense for it to be od or bk
Overdog goes nuts with BF.
i can imagine
I can solo carry soo much easier now
what happened to Exodus?
Incursion
356% chd when backfire is maxed, 180% twd when striker is maxed, and od amp all seems pretty good
i know, but thought exodus would be perfect for people in there 😹
It's AMP WD for strikers
oh strikers is amp damage
huh
Ya it is it's own type of amp.
probably why people tell fresh 40's get a striker build 😹
One of those instances where the description is very misleading
Plenty of wrong talent descriptions. iKia's got these proven so far:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zmMtU8JWUXNIObhxst__CYguFgfZ1288mPodyqs2LTE
Sys corr is on the list at being a max of 20% max amp regardless if you have the backpack or not. Several people have proven it
waht would you replace the 4th piece in to not use the backpack anyways?
I gave iKia a hypothetical sys build and he said if the rumors are true, it's 20% amp which translated on my build to only a 4% damage increase. I took my crit damage before proc and after proc took my CHD again. Then multiplied the first number by 4% and it added up to exactly what my proc damage was
Still the backpack because it's basically proccable unbreakable
like what you said if we can do without the backpack, i could see memento making it much stronger 🤔 but i'd rather use like the Overdogs or something for the exotic piece if i feel i need an exotic in it
doesn't that make you wish you could have his brain? 😹
warframe has prepared me for this surely
I need help with a DPS/Armour Build, I don’t know what the hell im Doing so far
#td2-build-advice check that channel for build help
My bad
Memento backpack bonus armor does apply to the amp proc
If you pair sys with intimidate it becomes viable enough you can clear solo heroic missions with it. That's pretty decent
Is there something off here or is it just me.
it happens
Ima save that till im level 30
Nah i need to know now what is in there.
That sucks.
kinda doesn't tbh
eh
They're good gloves.
i dont have them on my other account dam i did not know k
Anything off about this picture.
Hint look at the gun.
Do i have to do all Brooklyn and WONY again when creating a new character even with lv.40 boost?
no, create a regular one and after the tutorial and skill selection, go to shop then addons
that method will keep you in DC i believe, but you can start in brooklyn and 40 with a very random build 😹
thinking that First Sight named AK with Headshot Scope on it? beyond that i don't see much off about the gun honestly
So im looking at my manhunt missions .. is there a reason I can not do the general anderson one but I can do all the rest ?
Some are bugged. Fast travel manually and change mission mode at the mission board on the spot
Ah ok thanks
in this case you'd travel to the second pentco icon
Did I mess up?
I think game wants you to go to sleep
mayve
@rugged stratus isn't this your favorite Global Event?
yes sir
mortar supremacy to its finest
Does the Manhunt climax master exotic drop guaranteed applies to 1 time for each characters or?
yup, you got it first try
So i can get that guaranteed drop again if i make another character?
yup
Okay ty
think i need to buy me a lottery ticket. don't need them but to open two winter caches and get it twice? 🤔
b2b?
holy shit
Heya new player here. Feel like I can't matchmake to anything... feels a bit dead. Could it be cuz I'm lv 22? lol Descent nor backup call triggers or anything. I'm from SA region, so not sure if they do cross-region matchmaking.
Probably not going to get a lot of matchmaking traction until you've hit the endgame at level 40
even if you got help, won't be fun for you when a level 40 comes in and destroys most things in 1 hit and you start shooting spit wads
So were my thoughts, I was just wondering if they separate matchmake between level 1-29 and 30-40's
Explaining my situation I guess
i couldn't say, but i'd say probably whatever level you are, looks for others in your level bracket as if even if you got matched with a level 1 they'd do no damage and you'd have to do 2 person work solo
Mine also boom boom event
Can a lv.40 even matchmake with lower ones tho?
i haven't seen it, but they if they're queuing for random calls for help maybe?
It probably is 2 brackets of level ranges
Could be the case since I answered a dozen of calls for backup and they were all lv.40+
Imagine lvl 1 guy using ouro, this event made it possible 
I cant do the event until im 40 tho
Drop me a Chatterbox would ya?
Yes definitely
And I'm looking for just a 1, 1 regulus, opened 100 of them still not a one regulus in my inventory
All I'm getting, lexington, bell ringer, beacon
so i'm hearing "i want to see a gif of a regulus being dismantled"?
I would if i could control the drops but it'll not drop it when I want it 🤷🏻
Probably not backwards tho since I get 0 queues to anything lol
Call for backup when u r starting a mission and eventually u'll get someone
I'd be happy with a Regular
hey guys i have a question about the chatterbox, so have all the mods that craft the chatterbox, but when im try to craft it, it wont appear. so rn the thing i have to do is that finding the chatterbox blueprint?
sounds about right if it's only 3 items
after 50+ setup crafting this is the best roll i got like come on 🥹
game is nerfing your OP butt, that sucks though, but it probably beats mindlessly running summit/countdown/retaliations for it
@unreal ice you're opening this box right?
yes
this is the mods that i capture from youtube
these are from my stash
- Chatterbox Blueprint
Once you have all three parts, you will need the Chatterbox blueprint. To get it, head to Downtown West and complete the Bank Headquarters mission on Challenging difficulty. A crate will appear in the vault once you have all three parts, and it will drop the Chatterbox blueprint every time you complete the mission.
challenging diff ?
im running the heroic with some help from my friend
is that have to be the chall difficult ?
have u opened the box in vault?
yes im opened it
then i guess it needs challenging
Has anyone had any issues with winter cache loot disappearing immediately? I just got my very first Regulus, but didn't have inventory space. I went to the stash to make a spot, and POOF... no more Regulus. I'm big mad rn
Logout login go to stash>mailbox
That did nothing
I had the same thing happen with a quick step earlier logged out, logged back in. It didn’t go to my mailbox. It went into my backpack that was still at 150/150. 🤷♂️
that is why you do inventory simulator
Wow 
Vanished items going into mailbox or grant, sometimes u do lose staff but its very rare
Well the game hates me then, because it's not in my inventory, stash, mailbox or grants. It's gone, and I'm furious
Did u complete the quest in bank headquarter ?
Maybe it'll appear magically next time u open the game 
I already tried rebooting the game, and no luck. Hopefully, my tweet will be seen by someone who can grant me one
Same bro
Lost 2 lexington
1 i accidentally scrap it
1 is dissapear like my dad when he saw me
count to this time, 3 in heroic
i have 2 lexington
the last time i checked they are lv4
till this afternoon they 40
Magical
How does this proficiency event work? 🤔
I have cleared controll points southwest, need target practice how do i get it. I logg inn and out aswell but wont pop up on southwest
target practice doesn't need to be southwest
Its manhunt
ik
Ok
I just did mine in West Potamac and it did count
Ok i check. Thanks
the donate stuff on the other side needs to be southwest, but that's stated in the description
Do i have to clear controll points to get target practice, there are none on the map so
they can spawn without friendly CPs, but more commonly spawn if you take over some
hı reinforcer chem launcher effect doesn't seem buy party members is there a way to see the range ( green circle and the efect )
and can u tell me plz how can i find frankel and tricky bountys i think they are clan bountys
Theyre brooklyn bounties.
You need to unlock the brooklyn safe houses
safe house or main base?
Safehouses. Need to complete the projects for the brooklyn safe houses
i did brooklyn %100
Did you do the safehouses and their associated projects?
Because that is how you unlock those bounties
i didnt open the mapjust did the main story and libarions now see the online map therre is 2 safe hous gooing there thx
is thre alot quest there?
I think there is 3 for each
Is it worth it to level up your Armor Expertise?
No.
Not unless you literally have nothing else to spend your materials on.
6 pieces of 30 expertise armour is VERY expensive, and gives 198k armour. A little over one single blue core.
Bruh not worth it at all
Can the Chatterbox obtainable through Targeted Loot without completing the Exotic quest?
No but can get from winter caches
Thats a very difficult option...
how is it difficult? Winter caches are one of the easiest things to farm at the moment.
luck is a thing dude
true... but you'd also have to rely on luck whether you wanted to get the parts from hyena boxes or farm targeted loot.
i already open over 100+ caches and yet here i am 😭
¯_(ツ)_/¯
You might be better off just doing the quest lmao, the boxes refresh fast enough and there’s alot of em
If your build isn't focused around any % Regen, no, it's not worth it at all. With all 6 pieces at 30 expertise, you get back the equivalent of 1 blue core
Now if you're running foundry or Gila/Golan/Belstone for Regen, the answer would be a questionable yes. Expertise applies to only the base armor of a piece (not to be mistaken with the armor core attribute), and not the total armor your number displays under the "armor" tab
Basically, the more armor you have whether it's base armor or armor cores, expertise on Regen builds will boost the Regen you get due to having a higher armor %
And even then at grade 30 for all pieces and 6 blue cores you're only gaining 6,534 armor per second regen with 3% regen.
💀 that's an oof
I keep getting a notification in the bottom left of the screen. I have gone to the Seasons menu and clicked on every one of the events, and I have gone to the seasons vendor and done the same and it still keeps showing up after a few seconds. What am I missing here?
Hi,
Is loot goblin droping the harvest right now?
i have been trying to do this and have gone to 10 different supply drop and none have worked is anyone else having this issue
anyone know where the carnage is supposed to drop?
ive been farming countdown and summit but i cant for the life of me get it to drop
It's an LZ drop, so set your Challenging Countdown to LMG's, and give it a few runs, you'll get one eventually.
LZ?
oh you mean from hunters?
Nope.
LZ is an archaic community term that a lot of older players use, since the Dark Zone is DZ, we used to call the generically open map stuff "light zone", or LZ.
This community loves its acronyms and initialisms more than anything.
The Hunters in CD (countdown) will drop TL (targeted loot) the same as any one else in there, so just help your team the best you can, and you'll get it before too long.
And don't bother going Heroic, Challenging has about even loot in CD specifically, due to weird scaling.
yeah i spam challenging like everyone else dw
i keep getting a lot of named lmgs and none of them are the carnage 💔
Hey at least you're getting Expertise fodder, and when that's full: loads of mats.
Hey there ya go, always worth checking the vendors each week.
this is the scout i am trying to do
I've learned the hard way that CHC is cap at 60% and PFE at 80%, are there any other Stats that has a cap that im not aware of?
explosive res is 90%
You need to follow the directions we've given you. That's not the right area, I've explained it at the other message.
The screenshot you posted is not East Mall, but just take a break and come back, you'll be alright.
yes i know its not from east mall
the pic i took was to show that the only drop was in downtown
It doesn't matter if a drop is elsewhere, it'll only work in East Mall.
It's not broken, you're just unlucky with the spawn-rate of them, or you haven't cleared enough of the area.
Try clearing red activities surrounding the CP's in east mall as well as the CP's themselves, and ones adjascent. The bigger "green" area you have, the bigger space they can spawn in.
i guess i will try that next time
@lean violet I had the same problem, and once I cleared some of the other activities (Execution, Territory Control, etc) the drop happened. Just be patient and keep playing. It will happen.
Think those can be done within a week or maybe a couple days?
i dont know
I honestly don't know since I usually do them right away but I'm restraining for stretch goals
well i was bussy with 1 i think a week ago and came back to it had reset
i was about half way in
What're the vibes like in the DZ these days? NA region if it makes a difference.
empty
Empty and/or very cheater filled
so finally safe to explore for someone who's broadly averse to surprise PvP, or complete hell, then
One will show up easily within 15 minutes. Or it'll be dead empty all day
From what I heard from a devout pvper, empty or hacker/cheater owned
what was the last ban wave about? like they banned and unbanned everyone so who actually got banned?
It was a security update for the anti cheat. Which was turned back off
Never heard honestly
I have, and the same old people who are actively cheating weren't banned. And the reports I heard in the community who were cheating also got unbanned
I haven't spent any real time in a DZ since the tail end of the D1 beta, for context
SHD level?
Mid 400s
A few years back they broke up dz in brackets. Based on your shd level
It'll still be empty
they need to enable friendly fire on these companions so I can blow their head off when they run in front of me....
wait are they sectioned off my SHD level?
Id want it in general for them shield users who blocks you line of fire
Yes. SHD brackets exist now to protect low levels from SHD 20k's like me
yes under 1000 shd dz is empty anyway
or block a doorway. or simply refuse to shut the hell up
This or the people are very... Inexperienced and have sub-optimal builds
i've popped enviromental dmg items on my team when they do that shit and don't learn....like the fire pipes around cities and missions....
Put me in the SHD 400 bracket and I'll eat until I burst
I also need the companion to get quieter shoes so they don't sound like a rusher coming up behind me
my companion knows I'm trying to get him killed, i tell him to move to cover and he just sits there like, "Nope!"
Preach it! Dunno how many times I've 180d looking for a rusher and it's just my companion lol😹
oh speaking of all this are there any standout passives now that I've go tthem all unlocked?
I didn't see much honestly. Think all mine are gaining command faster
The best passive the companions seem to give you is "recruit 10 of each, then tell them to bugger off, and keep the modifiers active", so you get the full bonuses at max level.
Guys what are the best assault rifles, sniper rifles, LMGs and shotguns in the game right now? I wanna know the best ones in terms of damage, fire rate, and recoil/stability.
Currently level 34 right now and have been rocking a G36C and Designated Hitter. I've even taken a liking to the Chameleon.
i admit that the one passive I lvoe is tactical expertise with the spearhead companion...only because the AOE becomes VERY large and who doesn't love a giant ass ring of fire?
Wait the modifiers rank up with replacing the companions?
What are companions btw? I unlocked Speciality just yesterday and could never figure it out.
you get some bonuses depending on how many companions you've recruited of each type, to a max of 10 companions.
oh ok so telling them to f off after doing all the recruiting gives all 3 of 30% weapon damage, 20% hazard protection, and 30% skill efficiency?
assault is 1.5% wpn dmg each companion, max 15% - medic is 2% haz pro, max 20% - and engineer is 1.5% skill eff, up to 15%
and doubled when no companion as u said
yup, lol
and to truly dismiss them I just unequip the active modifier?
yup, just leave global on
then you won't hear the heavy footed non stop chatterbox that follows you around like a puppy
Thought people didn't like the 60% damage resistance the game gives the npcs?
wasnt it stealth nerfed to 40% now?
No clue, I didn't know it was a thing until some one mentioned it
what happens to the winter keys we get from the bounty if we stack krampus bounties after the event is over? because i doubt the vendor will still be available then. any ideas?
its not gonna drop keys then
Once the event is over no more special drops and those winter caches will be gone. Leaves only targeted loot I think
Just let's you run it for the target loot there and novelty
i kinda figured. i've got about 25 bounties looks like i gotta do em all before the event is over
Anyone know Oro's drop change from winter gear crates?
farm printer filaments in countdown or is there a faster way?
trying to get to expertise 30 while the event is active
8% for exclusive exotics and then 33.3%
Makes 2.664%
I suck at math 😹
alledgedly my hiney.....if I see another oreo from that cache I swear....
33.3% out of 8%
if you grinded shd levels during the xp event, use the scavenging points for any material and donate
Lol, I'm amazed I got 2 regulus back to back ...
alrdy put those into optimizing builds
Think it was proven only the printer materials
yeah but i only get about 160 every Countdown Run. that takes Ages
actually doesnt matter which material you use, it will still end up costing the same number of scavengin points. without proficiency xp event, it costs about 66-67 points to get an item from 0 to proficient.
loook!!!!!!!!!
Uh look again. 45 printer filaments while everything else is 100+
Grats. I also got a perfect lengmo set today from farming Krampus bounties lol
you also gotta consider how much 1 point gives each material
well you could be right, its been a while i did the calculations. i may not remember correctly
got the same thing today from krampus
@cold pumice could you quickly give me a heads up on this ? Expertise LVL Farm while event is active
Yeah, even before the 3x increase. Printer filaments was suggested
I leveled using that
leveling using kenly is alot faster
first make all gearset proficient running 6 gearset piece in countdown
then donate printer filament
or is that not legal to speak of here
I'm like shd 8k, so scavenging points is faster for me 
Hello i have a question. Im farming for the nemesis exotic rifle and dont know if i can get the drop for the last part if i join someone else session and clear the invaded stronghold?
Each proficiency rank gives 3x the xp towards the next level. SO making one item proficient gives 30xp insted of 10.
Or proficiency gain is 3x faster. Same difference
ending of last season there was x5 event, i already knew beginning of this season which was 2 weeks away that there would be another xp event and proficiency xp event, so i grinded a lot of shd levels in anticipation to use them for materials. now i got every item proficient
Thinkbonly one a week. If you got 2 of them grand Washington hotel drops the blueprint

mhh sadge need to wait for capitol invasion, but honestly i might as well test it
bruh
Once you have that blueprint you can farm it where mmr is targeted loot
wait fr? once i have the blueprint its in the normal lootpool?
If I didn't get bored I'd probably would've been 10k+ too
yes u can also get from winter caches gave 2 to people already
well time to farm all my stacked up bountys
I've did the mpnth long journey. Was before zoo became a stronghold
considering u have 2 times more playtime than me makes total sense u r bored, i'm also bored
Yeah, got all exotics, most named i care for and builds i enjoy
yea i heard it was worse before and now take 3 weeks to do
Before was easier. Only 3 strongholds then just waiting on gwh invaded
Least to me it seemed easier. Was rough farming up a level 40 one though lol
At wony release they didnt have the 30 to 40 blueprints or the easiest ways to obtain it with selecting your target loot
whats the best way to farm yaahl gear again?
Conflict or dz caches. Legacy is too dense with all that's in game
In pts I did try to get me a ceska chest via the random brand crafting recipe and gotten a yaahl or 2 after a crap ton of crafting
Dz south i think? Is gloves gor grab a bunch there
older method not sure if still works or not
- farm yaahl blueprints first > make lvl 30 character > craft yaahl gear ( don't need yaahl parts) > destroy on main to get parts > craft yaahl gears u needed with all those parts
- craft random gears doesn't need yaahl parts
I need to learn this method 🤔
random brand still works at least
Yeah, on pts I think I'd did 100s and gotten 2 at least
I didn't see that list until I already got my 2nd yaahl 😹
Still works, craft 10 pieces you might get 3 yahll after decon.
Still works. My 4th character RN is fully set up for this
You can level up to 40 but you cannot upgrade the bench
So boost to 40 would work too right? As long as we don't upgrade the bench?
If i have spent all my shade point and i have max characters, when i delete a char and make a new one do i get the surplus points to allocate to scavenging aswell or will they remain spent?
they remain spent
on a new char aswell?
Yeah, Brooklyn changed it so it's based on your account
damn they really gimped that :/
Well, if they didn't people would just boost 40, spend points infinitely
At least with wony level 30 boost you still had to work those 10 levels
Are enemies still classed as being in cover if they pop up to shoot from behind cover? 🤔
yes
Ok thanks 👍
they could easily make lvl 40 boost one time use 
Regarding the Referral program, do you need the person who is invited to play for only 2 hours, or do you need them to complete the main missions, and if so, which ones?
2 hours playtime is required
how do i even get dyes in the game? are those still a thing? for armor i mean
Loot open world items that are all over the place, defeat all WoNY and DC hunters and you can get them from the shop. Season passes have them included as well. Maybe there are more sources I can't remember rn
Oooh ok I guess I've had bad luck with RNG then!! Thank you!
They could've but they didn't. Dolloweed the same formula of wony and included a level 40 boost
I didnt play last season but have access to The Manager misson at the Potamac event center.... I can see that the Tinkerer has a guaranteed drop on master ( i still need to unlock that difficulty ) but is it true it still has drop chances on Heroic and below?
yes
🫂
someone who already has master unlocked can take you directly into master btw
How long is prof xp event active?
Okay so available during weekend good
3x multiplier DAMN I can’t make excuses for not farming now then
Was taking advantage of the Proficiency event and noticed a new rifle “Vindicator”
Thanks to the event, only 4 gear pieces left and everything will be proficient
Boosting to 40 forces your bench to high end. You have to boost to 30 and level to 40
does it? i kind of figured they'd keep it at the purple bench
Nah they fully force you on high end quality
I tried it once and learned the hard way. Wasted so much time making that character
Does this event apply to donating or do you have to be using the item to get the xp
no clue, but i feel it probably doesn't matter if you go the donation, donating materials or wearing the gear
I just never farm it cause it gets super boring
But Ive been farming it through the krampas event
@silver spire
You think I can tame them if I leave them in the supply room long enough? What strange spawn
this happened with the mini hounds too
Those had some funny spawns as well, ya
i wanted to tame the hounds but they run away eventually 🙁
I feel ya 😄
Hey all how do I increase my stash to 450? Im currently at 400
Also is 150 max inventory?
👋 buy all the dlcs and season pass
That the only way ?
ye. $$$ only.
Same with increasing loadouts?
No I mean load outs. I have 12. Heard u can get 16
oh i thought everyone had 16
Hah nope 12 for me
Hmm where do I do that ?
Hmm ye I heard go there but i have all. Ill double check. Thanks for all that
So the xmas event is over
I haven’t seen the Klaus squad all day
It is over
all the xmas stuff is gone from the white house
I didn’t even notice
post in reddit more and more so devs r forced to give raid exotics to everyone lol 
already seen like 10+ posts and its only some hours
Cuz we had like two more weeks left
@desert thunder Don't be ridiculous, and frankly I'm considering that other comment trolling.
Consider this a warning.
Where do I find krampus
you dont
Only 1 support ticket on Ubisoft discord so far.
The event was accidentally ended early, likely due to an end of year thing.
It's entirely possible they'll just start it back up again in January, so just going to have to wait and see.
2 weeks remaining on the event timer in game
1 week remaining on their social media posts (until 6th Jan)
EVENT ALREADY ENDED
So nothing for new years
It's clearly a bug, just give them a bit to address it.
I'm sure there aren't many people working on NYE.
True
Running a skeleton crew till Jan 1st according to official discord.
There you go, most devs do that over the holidays.
Does Tempest still drop from Summit?
Floor 100 has a chance to drop it: yep./
Its Master Mission is still a 100% drop rate on first completion with a character though, if you want a guaranteed drop.
2 man team with the right builds will take you 5 seconds for #100 .
Let's not undersell it, it takes a while to build up to the deep endgame of div2.
The ideal build is only half of the way there.
Two very specific builds , but you’re right about mechanics etc.
Oxi strat or shroud 
I just hate the 4 Hunter fight.
I feel like if it was any other arena I'd be fine, but that encounter has me die off rip 50% of the time due to skill shenanigans in tight spaces. 😭
Oxy/foam/faraday …solo shroud or nemesis
I miss zealot nobody needed help for it with it 😁
Was that a seasonal modifier?
Zealot was fun , can’t remember the modifier we’re scanning would set everyone on fire
Microwave Coils
Yes we had 2nd best modifier last season now we got companion 
I like the companion. 🤷♂️
Free revives let me play in more interesting ways than I normally would.
I do think the system is lame though, but I'm also super biased against the True Sons (🤢). I'd love to be able to recruit more diverse enemy NPCs, like the Riker dual SMG girl or the big Hyena dude with a sledgehammer.
No Outcasts though.
Nothing personal, they just, like, have the plague 'n' all that.
Found on reddit
is it on playstation only, or consoles but PC still on going?
This is what I see on ps
Update
nods was thinking it might be just a temporary thing
Is it still possible to find the Renegade Hat?
"Stay ready," lol.
How do referral links work? Just clicked and the one who owns the link got bonuses?
think click the link of the owner, link it to their ubi and bare minimum unless they changed it. you and that person has to bond for 2 hours minimum. run missions, openworld, raids/incursion
They took my chem launcher 😭
hmmm
sure
Basically, the base is the most aesthetically pleasing weapon among all ARs.
With the talent active those little flaps open up, not a big thing tbh but subtle
Would be alot cooler if those flaps were glowing while it's open
Or even if the parts underneath did like they were vents opening
i wonder why it broke maybe when it comes back it will be faster (not that i need any more guns)
yea that looks so much worse than EB looks by default... EB as it is normally looks great imo. This skin... not that great.
the HERA arms parts are very love it or hate it usually
Is Summit dead?
Been trying to matchmake for like 2 hours, and all that's happened is 3 people have been invited to me standing at the White House. 😭
target loot is back pack in DZ south. What are the odds of getting the liquid engineer or matador?
twitter post has been pinned on the main channel if you ever need it
Guys, can you buy the agent garzia mask for textiles? Since I cant, comes up with a error all the time
Hi, what does it mean defending territories? (Is this retaliation after you complete it?)
yes, retaliation completion (not kill squad)
Ah I see
My game has suddenly stopped fully utilising my GPU, anyone have any solutions or ideas?
to unlock any of the climax missions masters you need to do it once on any difficulty once first. so for the quickest unlock you can just do it on normal once.
rare ikia appearance
just in time for the new year
oops wrong channel
So can someone clear up for me the ravenous only drops from the raid and the dz it does not drop in conflict correct ?
yeah
I was hearing People discuss it last night in a countdown and dude was adamant he got his from a conflict box
That was against anything heard before ahha
I wanted to make sure lol thank you
in the dz it only drops from NPCs randomly too. never is rewarded from a cache or anything. so they are talking hogwash
I really need to do that raid so I can finally get it
these pfps are tripping me out
just noticed it. not sure if it's averageplayer or someone else 😹
they should sue each other
i got the idea from Homeslice LOL
you like my profile pic? i tried it with Copilot
I do actually haha I used chatgpt but yours looks pretty good
Oh no wait I think i used gemini
i tried to make gemini work but i couldn't get the prompt right
Oh all I did was take the existing photo and said “turn it into Pixar art style”
ah yeah that's way more specific
Yeah it was just the best way to describe it
i love disguising with these avatars, they trip people up LOL
Lmfao I just don’t know what pfps to use so I was like lemme just spruce up the default ones
you 2 look like cousins of cookie monster 😹 you 2 want a 🍪 ?
Hi. Level 22, should I do bounties I find along the way or save them for any reason?
no issue doing them now afaik if you feel comfortable doing so, i know later on in the game the bounty difficulty is tied to the world difficulty when you earned them...so I would assume if you saved them and did them later they would just register as "easy" difficulty. forgot how that worked before lvl 40 honestly...been a long time.
I’m never gonna turn down a cookie
i'd think it'd be just that. level 40 being able to practically one shot them mostly
Oh, so then I don't need to worry about 'em. Thanks.
it'd probably be good for some impromptu experience though
Been doing them as they come up cause xp but that's about it.
guess avera isn't as cool as you or maybe Diabetic? 🤔 j/k
That's certainly one way to hold a rifle
looks more like taunting? 🤔 like "come at me bro!"
She wants her money
Is there a 1 million keys donated community goal?
330.000, but we have over a million
is event fixed yet?
Hello. Do you activly have to use the skills you have equiped to Get proficient or can i just have them equiped?
just need them equipped
@wispy merlin ok ty! But do they lvl faster if i actually use them?
no
@wispy merlin ❤️ ty
however, it's different for weapons. the weapon you have in hand will earn slightly faster proficiency than holstered weapons
it just doesn't apply to skills
what are the best ways to increase reload speed?
weapon hanlding gives a bit of everything weapon wise. Swap Speed, Reload Speed, Accuracy and Stability comes to my mind, could be more that i'm not listing
FYI Skill Efficiency is the same but all the skill attributes
Nope you got it in one, 1% in WH as a stat gives you 1% in all 4 ones you listed.
with "accuracy" being reticule bloom, and "stability" being vertical kick.
awesome, i feel i'm usually forgetting some here and there
feels bad to crush unicorns 🦄
Is the ninjabike useful? And why is its lore description a priest saying it rose from hell lol
It's kinda just bad overall, basically what it gives you takes away a useful slot, and replaces it with something that's worse than what you can get elsewhere.
She's just asking for money.
Was the Renegade outfit a seasonal drop?
I can't find anything about it online, but I keep seeing people with pieces of it.
Do you have a pic
I can't even find one online, but I know the hat is a cowboy hat. 🤠
A Google search of "Division 2 Renegade outfit/hat" brings up nothing for me. 🤷♂️
Wow we have another cowboy hat than odea cowboy one
Atp im not even grinding tinkerer anymore, im just tryna beat this manhunt
Isn't this event supposed to run until January 6, 2026? Unfortunately, I can no longer find any Krampus characters anywhere in D.C. and therefore cannot obtain the keys.
Hello Division 2 agents community,
I encountered a rather strange situation, namely around December 30-31 of the already past 2025, the 4-person elite patrols named mobs from the Christmas event stopped appearing for me in the game's open world. Is this an intended effect or some bug? Time until the event ends is still about 10 days, at least that's the time displayed for me, and I'm wondering if it's something like remaining currency exchange time or what?
Honestly, I'm confused by this
I would also like to know the answer to this question.
Its bugged @sand axle @quaint jackal
#td2-general-chat message
Thank you.
It's quite sad that I have to have so many platforms and follow them all to find out. one piece of information.
Is it possible to log out before killing Krampus in Krampusnacht bounties to keep the bounty and continue grinding keys?
[Notices recent chat]
Oh, how unsurprising.
You don't need to log out, just fast travel back to the safe house and the bounty will cancel.
Don't do it at the moment however.
Is Stovepipe's vest no longer available?
I've done his Manhunt, but that was only like a week ago, and I just found out that it was supposed to drop from it?
you are looking at your chest appearance mod items right, not chest gear items correct? it's an appearance mod for the chest.
You mean apparel? It's not there.
go to your inventory, click on your chest gear piece, then click mod, there is an icon on chest you can add an appearance mod
Not in my appearance mods either.
I just love looking up anything for this game, because everything is either out of date, incomplete, or just missing.
nope, you're good...I'm just stupid...in your apparel menu there is also a chest (not shirt) but the chest gearpiece icon that has the apperance mods
if you didn't already try that one, try that one...still don't know why they made them different menus...dumb system
All I have is the Rudy Vest.
hmmm, well that's disappointing, was hoping for good news. sorry mate, that was the extent of my unhelpful knowledge ☹️
So frustrating.
Not to mention the language people keep using.
Why are we still calling them "Climax Missions"? "Year 5 Season 2 Climax Mission" is so much more helpful than "X Manhunt", amirite? Just saying words.
It's cool, no worries.
I'm just salty because I can't find out anything about half the stuff in this game.
don't get me started, I went on a rant in the other discord cause this week's scout asks you to resupply a safehouse when in reality you need to resupply a control point
Probably 'cause there's like 3 people working on the game AtM. 😅
There's a phenomenal amount of misinformation in this game that has never been addressed.
I love asking people who Abdul-Warith Sharraf is.
i just love the loading screen tips not saying what the tips are for and the information provided just seems weird when out of context
I've been the head of a clan since this game came out and it still tells me every other day what a clan is and how many people I need to get one started.
i accidentally became clan leader and yeah, I know that feeling now....lol
i need to change clans anyways, kind of hard to complete clan commendations when nobody logs in lol
I just invite everyone I meet with a name that isn't "LETTERSNUMBERS" who isn't in a clan already. 🤷♂️
Do you get the contractors gloves BP or fox's prayer thru recalibration caches?
Neither.
Recalibration are materials.
bruh reconstruction whatever the name is
Do you get the contractors gloves BP or fox's prayer thru reconstruction caches?
both
I need help with IH Raid
i need some knowledge
on fieser boss,where does the codes spawn?
im now starting to understand tinkering, but would it be possible to change the skill haste for something else here? and if so, how? just having the resources on the side?
I forgot the picture, my bad
Good morning all. Let me know if there’s a better place to ask this.
Manhunt: Scout 2: Objective 3: group of civies needing be saved.
I’ve been all over the make doing all the hostages activities, focusing on True Sons when I can.
How do you complete this?
are you sure youre doing hostage? i thought i was by saving the people with the red icon and stuff over their heads but the hostage is apparently the two green handcuffs. To get the hostage you need friendly area, then the green handcuffs appear and youll be able to complete the quest.
you already recalibrated the weapon damage
You can only recalibrate 1 thing on an item, and then the rest are locked.
You can optimize everything, but you can't recalibrate a stat/talent that has been optimized.
oh thats geniunely so ass. So I cant change anything else?
si
i thought proficiency might help, gahdam
Gear sets are the easiest thing to farm since they only have one variable stat, so you can go anywhere dropping Striker gear or set it as targeted loot.
Not a big deal.
yeah with striker unless you want to farm blue core stuff, don't recalibrate the main attribute lol, just optimize it to max if you have to or refarm for a higher value
right so just so i get it, the attributes i can only change one? but can I change like, to a higher % still? or will everything lock once i calibrate anything/change talent?
everything locks as soon as u recalibrate 1 "thing"
The second you recalibrate anything, that's the only slot that can be recalibrated.
u can recalibrate the attribute that you did it to again, but only that one
okok, i get it. Talents counts as recalibrating as well?
yes
Ye'.
If you say so. 🤷♂️
This game is probably the most generous in the genre when it comes to farming and buildcrafting.
Good luck. ✌️
Ah. Ok. Thats what I’m missing. Thank you!
thought so, spent yesterday hours just doing that lololol! good luck!
I'll never understand why that icon is in green. 🤷♂️
cause it only appears in areas you have liberated at least 1 control point
it's friendly civilians staging the hostage rescue
I've never seen friendly NPCs at one though?
there should be a lot of them
every time i come to a hostage rescue it's always friendly NPCs fighting the enemies and the friendlies always have the manpower advantage
Gonna check right now.
Maybe I've just never noticed? 🤷♂️
hı ı have %100 retailation how do i satrt it?
Okay, so you're both right.
I guess my confusion comes from them automatically adding the "Engagement" map marker on the event, so I guess I just always assumed that was like a resource convoy or whatever coincidentally walking by.
nah it just means friendly NPCs are fighting
Should be a prompt in the bottom left of the screen.
Are you at 100%, the group leader, and also not currently in another activity?
isnt that %100 in the ss?
They turn orange at 100%.
Those are not 100% yet
ok
Looking at them, just killing a couple of enemies will start them
thx will try
they were 100% before you let them expire, they become 99% after, you just need to kill some enemies from those factions to get them to 100% and start them again
whats the best way to farm money? the reconstruction caches are bleeding me dry
bounties
How are they costing you money?
Its costs e-credits
From where?
from crafting them (i'm assuming from retaliations)
Oh, I just noticed lol.
I have too much money to ever notice spending it during crafting.
Best way to CD farm fox's prayers? Targetting overlord or targetting kneepads?
probably the former right?
yeah
F
u cant get the Bp thru retal right?
i mean iguess technically u can since reconstruction caches are given from retals
Level 30 explodes the map open. Is there an official order of what to do?
Cause when I try to go to NY it says it needs to 'boost me.' Which I don't want.
@minor ferry Just to make sure you know: check the 📌 pin over in #td2-descent to see the full list of BP's available from those Caches.
Just got it from a Reconstruction Cache like a minute ago, coincidentally.
😡
Right now it looks like I need to do the Black Tusk strongholds to unlock Tidal Basin... which unlocks all the stuff on the map but I am not sure which order the story goes in. Coney Island, Pentagon, NY, etc.
xd
Pentagon, Zoo, Coney, NY, Brooklyn.
I think. 🤔
That's about it, yeah.
Coney is notably the last base game mision before the DLC's.
Ok awesome. Thanks. I just found this on Reddit, people say it's accurate so I assume that checks out(?).
So next question is... I'm surely gonna hit 40 doing all this, so does that matter for the DLCs?
Nah just keep playing and you'll be fine.
Would the fastest way to farm for the Overlord really be retaliations and getting recontruction caches?
Alrighty sounds good, thanks!
@minor ferry Overlord is an Exotic, and as such is not a part of the Reconstructed Cache pool.
whoops meant the fox's prayer (named overlord armaments item)
Oh fox's? Just pick the Overlord brand and farm it, you'll get a few dozen copies before too long.
It's not locked to the DZ, so it drops like candy in regular TL.
is there a high chance to get 2 blueprints in a reconstructed cache? lol
That's only one blueprint, the other thing is just a named item.
oh i see
Think of it as a nice bonus.
enjoy that Dark Winter!
lol nope
Good for an alt.
The Dark Winter is DZ locked, so if you wanted another copy you'd either need to try and farm for its bp via reconstructed caches, or in the DZ/named item caches.
wait why would i want an alt? so I can switch over to an identical one without needing to reload or smth?
"alt" in div2 refers to having another Agent, for the purpose of extra storage/doing more projects, certain other bonus steps.
lol yeah i have 2 storage alts lmao
You're probably keeping stuff you don't need, if you want to start using those Agents for something more profitable.
Try to think of it as a case of "if you can't make a non exotic item perfect in 1 recalibration and a few optimisations, just throw it away".
You have to be pretty ruthless with loot in this game, otherwise you turn into quite a hoarder.
Hey! Stop talking about me 😏
I hate farm/grind in this game so i store any good gears i see, have around 500+ item stored across characters
Retaliation is the second best targeted loot source in the game, second only to Countdown, right??
just thinking of doing it to keep things varied, and not get bored with CD to fast
It can be really profitable running 4 alts* through projects. Think about when the content creator event was running and you were getting a ton of exo components for each daily. Those are available independent on each alt.
Retaliation is great loot and unlocking exotic blueprints is pretty solid. Plus the reconstructed caches
Retaliation and Countdown are good, but Summit is also great if you're looking for a less-intensive farm since there's significantly less risk and pressure.
I'd recommend it for when you're 50% playing 50% watching YouTube, etc.
Mr @cold pumice, you who have like a gajillion hours on the game and extensive experience. Do u know if this is the case?
Lol.
Yeah for sure. Its just that im not 100% sure on which one gives the most loot per 10 mins or so
And thats what im trying to ascertain
In my experience, retaliations give more loot than countdown. Heroic retaliations give better quality loot for an easier time. Heroic countdown isn't really worth the time or effort.
Gotcha! Followup Q: doesn't challenging CD give higher quality than ordinary challenging difficulty in other game modes and open world otherwise?
I second that
On the flipside, there's a lot more pressure on you during Retaliation since you can only have 4 players (only if you call for backup and then start the Retaliation), whereas most Countdowns have like 2-3 guys on an 8-man team killing like 90% of enemies before you can even reach them.
No not really, it's still challenging quality loot. The difference is that the enemies are tougher in countdown than standard enemies. More like Challenging+ (and the addition of hunters)
It's still a good option for loot and much more relaxed than retaliations.
If I got the right group to play with, 3 dps guys and 1 healer, the pressure goes down to almost 0.
But for publics yeah you're totally right
If you can do Heroic Retaliations, I would do that over countdown.
Even if you fail them, you'll still get a reasonable amount of loot.
If you want a more relaxed approach, Challenging countdown.
My luck with randoms in Retaliation is 50/50.
I have rounds where I barely get to kill anyone, and then rounds where someone dies 2 times in the first minute and then disconnects. 🤷♂️
Yeah public retal is luck of the draw for sure
Get yourself a good clan
In my opinion, it pretty much goes:
#1) Retaliation
#2) Countdown
#3) Summit
Both in terms of rewards and demanding your attention.
Summit is absolutely the worst out of the 3, due to a lack of enemy density.
IMO it's the most fun solo, but if you are going purely for time spent:reward, Countdown.
True but keep in mind that you can't just do retaliation, you have to work towards it to get a match ready. Countdown is available just by pressing 2 buttons
That's fair.
I binge play so I've always got 1-2 ready to pop at any time, but I hope most people aren't playing this game as much as me. 😅
So... I've 'done' the mission but these two enemies seem to be stuck in this crate and the mission won't end.
I've tried throwing grenades to get them to budge and all that, so far nothing.
use oxi, or jammer pulse+vile mask
can solo retal. its really nothing to get one prepared either
*effectively solo
can usually run a misison or something. i usually see them at 99% most of the time because i run my projects anyways
Back in the pts i was 100% for 2 factions. Started a retal and the game crashed. So i guess instead of fixing the core cause, they just made it so you can't piss 2 factions off at the same time
1 legendary mission instantly fills the meter
😴
that tracks 🍻
You can do several countdowns in the meantime lol
Yup. Others get capped at 99%
whenever im running retal i usually just need to hit a single activity. i mm a lot so im stacked most of the time
I didn't have any of that so I just grenaded myself and started over. 😄
oh you didnt have oxi chem launcher* unlocked
Could also have waited a few mins for the game to auto kill them 😁
Did the Christmas event end today? Haven’t seen any krampus goons all day
pinned topic, it's currently broken, fix release date TBD
Ok that makes sense, even I thought something on the event clock broke. Appreciate it
np, we're all awaiting the fix as they said they'll most likely extend it. get our murder back on at a later date, lol
Heroic stronghold is enough to fill it up 100%, works great when combined with priority objectives
Not gonna lie, I'd be fine if they just stayed gone.
It was neat at first, but goddamn did I get so tired of Krampuslauf jumping me every 5 minutes whenever I was trying to do literally anything. 😅
I have like 40+ Krampus bounties. 😭
I feel ya there. If you ever want to get rid of em, as soon as you get the spawn notification, turn around run, usually despawns them pretty quick.
Check the map within that area, its either too much enemy activities or a set of allies are already fighting somewhere else
Hello. I did theo parnell manhunt on heroic and didnt get any decoy ability? To obtain it, does it have to be on master?
theo parnell mission you obtain skill from is Tombs in WONY. it would not have a master difficulty (unless something change during my hiatus) that's different from the theo parnell manhunt finale mission.
the Tombs one is a WONY main mission as does not appear on map as a "manhunt" mission, just a normal mission.
Aha. Ok, ty much for this info.
np mate, gl
heya, just wondering if doing the legacy manhunts is worth it or if i should just go straigth to brooklyn (just finished keener manhunt and am working through the NY Projects)
Finish Brooklyn first then do Manhunt, its pretty challenging and entertaining imo, some Manhunts gives you quite a unique Exotic
Ooo Ight cheers
even heroic stronghold gives 100%, no need to do leggy
@quaint wasp It's per-game, so just div2.
There's a timestamp for when they're up again📌 pinned over in #td2-general-chat, but take it as a suggestion of how long it'll be.
thanks bro
I personally run stronghold on heroic for 100%
Wait servers are down? Bro it's a Friday 😂 glad to see they're fixing the winter event and extending it a bit but wow. I just wanted to real quick log in this morning and fix my builds 😂
So it's not just me
Is there server maintenance on xbox?
Sry to interrupt
@proven rock #td2-general-chat message
Surprise maintenance
Ok thanks
This is useless then haha
their train of thought: the servers WORK we just took them down, therefore there's no server issue
Extremely. Hasn't been updated since WONY I think
I have a question I did the first classified mission and completed it 100% but when I try another one it won’t let me scan in
A different one?
You can only complete each one once per week
Yea a different one
Which missions give which exotic? I've heard that JTC has a rare chance to drop a Coyotes mask
Coyotes mask does drop from JTC boss "Coyote" It follows the general 1/3/5/7% rule. (Increasing with difficulty from normal to heroic)
There are a few that drop from bosses, Catalyst mask from Army Terminal, Brooklyn.
There are the manhunt exclusives. Tinkerer, Blacklisters, and Tempest
Those that drop from bosses however are normally also in the general loot pool.
The exception are the manhunt finale exotics and the Catalyst mask
whats the highest expertise level for the bench?
30
Is there a cap for protection from elites? 🤔
80%
Hmm, Thought so, Thanks again 👍
Tempest can be farmed from Summit on Floor 100.
if you want quality over quantity, legendary summit boss farming
On Legendary....with a very small drop chance for the time invested.
I got it on Challenging, lol.
It's a 100% drop from the master manhunt
It drops from any difficulty, just lower chances on lower difficulties.
Again, not worth the time or effort. The master manhunt is a 100% chance on first completion.
...
Provided you have a group or can find the 100th floor through mm again lol
to NOT get it and only then someone drop you a dupe
I just matchmade for Summit on Challenging and stayed with every group that was close to 100.
Took me like a day overall? Wasn't that bad, except for the lulls in matchmaking.
10% isn't a terrible rate for something that takes a few minutes IMO.
Do max mods only drop from Legendary?
Must just be having terrible luck then. 😭
Been target farming on Heroic for like an hour and nada.
No, Legendary reduces the lower rolls. Minimum 80%. It doesn't affect how often the max rolls drop
My brain just considers all <100% mods to be garbage.
That glow from the full bar is so comforting. 😅
Except it doesn''t glow on the inventory screen. Which really annoys me.
Anybody know why when I replaced my assault companion with my engineer companion i didnt get the "Replace your Assault Companion 0/1" completed from the journey?
Figured it out - it had to be ANOTHER assault companion, not an engineer or medic
Can u farm winter keys in a group?
yes, they're individual drops but can also share what you get from the winter caches by having a full inventory
Yes. You can double check your companions attributes in the modifier menu. However yours is always left with the tick in the corner
Just a question: what are the chances for bighorn to drop from legendary summit?
5%. Only from bosses
It is not affected by targetted loot at all
I still haven’t gotten an answer on how to fix this at this point I’ve fought them all and they are all white cause I can’t cal for backup
already had someone join you and they had same message on their screen "no backup available" ?
Nope, I ain’t got any friends that play
Unless I'm mistaken, that usually means a squad is on their way to capture a point, and you can't have more than 1 active at a time.
can you get the blueprint for the china light chest?
Is there a difference between RPM and burst DPS? 🤔
rpm is just how many rounds you can fire per minute, burst dps is how much damage you deal per second, quite different
have you relogged , like fully shutting down then back in? have you tried running a control point in dc then go back to wony?
I just got rb6 siege x and it says it’s not synchronising. Can anyone help because I’m trying to play the game?
When I have an active retaliation can I change my world level before I initiate it or will it go away?
Wrong discord?
Gng I need help pls
Ah makes sense, Thanks 👍
is shroud a regular exotic loot pool ?
yes
Yeah but theres bug where u can't get reconfigure Blueprint for it
I’ve completely turned of my console and reloaded the game
There are no other teams I checked
Hey all. I’m a returning player. Haven’t played since maybe 2020 or 2021. I was directed here for new player/returning guides.
What game (division 1 or 2) and what kind of guide you looking for?
Division 2, and I guess I’m more curious how much content I’ve missed and what i need to catch up on. Is it worth using my existing character or is it better to just start over?
There's some good info in pins
For missed content mostly a bit of manhunts and you can actually play those with others even though they have passed, and whether or not you want to start over or continue from past characters is up to you, you can also try one of the DLCs
Would say keep the character
Dont see a reason to replay the start unless you want it
Cool. Thanks everyone. I’ll give the DLCs a shot with the existing character and go from there. I appreciate it
Np, start with warlords of New York
you can do both. you should keep your current character. if you want to re-experience the story, you are able to create another to run through* the early game/story. actually 3 others can be created if you choose.
i noticed winter event is back. how long is it extended for?
in game it says a week
@sick plaza The 13th, so a week and some days still.
anyone know why my headshot damage is coming up like this on my build lol
it doesnt seem to be real but wondering why those numbers are popping up
visual bug
Is the Ops Armor exclusively a chest piece? Or is there a full set?
Or, I should say, is Ops Armor the only unique-looking piece of the Petrov brand?
how can I "save" bounties?
Hover over them and there should be a prompt for options. Press that and then press whatever button says "abandon" and it'll be added to your list.
ty
thought that would forfeit the bounty
Add it to the pile of poorly-worded things in the game. 🤷♂️
When you fail and abandon bounties they're still saved to reactivate later
Is there ANY other way to get hazardous containers other than outcast retals?
