[bold tiger]

you sure about that?

[slow solar]

thats been my experince. this is after 1 outcast.

[bold tiger]

that's not 100% it's something like 99.9999999%

[slow solar]

ehh its pretty close haha.

[mellow trout]

CPs are only something like 30 percent

.5 for every kill

[bold tiger]

one outcast kill nets you the agitation
but i've never ran 1 heroic CP and get 100%

[mellow trout]

you probably just had the uhhh agitation daily

[bold tiger]

the only 1 heroic run for 100% agitation i've gotten was running DUA, Capitol or Roosevelt strong holds

[slow solar]

i need to do my one.

[shadow siren]

@bold tiger question: can Lexington equip the linked laser for pulse uptime?

[bold tiger]

believe so, it's a long barreled weapon

[slim elk]

If anyone is looking to farm mini-hounds, here are two locations you can cycle every two minutes or so

[desert thunder]

When did we get or allowed two companions

[tired verge]

how yall get the bloody huntsman glove and bag

[bold tiger]

imagine running GWH and kelso acts like a companion 😹

[slow solar]

its from the new bounty

[tired verge]

did my 2nd one i thought it was consecutive, i guess its rng

[bold tiger]

probably not fully implemented honestly

[tired verge]

if so then i will just farm bounty then wait for maint

[acoustic lark]

Kinda sad to see the devs keep introducing new cosmetics left and right or add new features instead of fixing long standing annoying bugs like: fragile armor directive not working correctly; incursion skills bug where u cannot equip/change; retaliation turrets having like 1000% damage and aimbot across the map. Do we know if any of these and other issues will be addressed soon?

[slow solar]

ive not seen any of these. but i assume if they exist they will adress them. theres a bug report thing on the site too

[strange harbor]

The artists who make cosmetics are not the coders fixing the bugs. Completely different departments.

[mellow trout]

True sons turrets are being fixed in the next patch

[mellow trout]

Also this

[slim elk]

I love when people think theres only one dev department working in everything

[slim elk]

anotha one where Im standing

[bold tiger]

it is pretty amusing isn't it?

i would've loved a new named shotgun that does that red mist from Reanimated 😹

even better. you get a headshot kill. red mist and the npc does a heart emoji then falls over

[worldly fjord]

Different teams do different things, obviously

But yeah you're right

[woeful kite]

i found a little dog what is his purpose other than die

[bold tiger]

have you met the keanu reeves of Div 2 yet?

[woeful kite]

oh no, what have i done

[bold tiger]

you'll find out soon(tm) 😹

[woeful kite]

are there more of them like a 1 out of 3/5? something?

[bold tiger]

think something like 4 or 5 of them with different abilities

[woeful kite]

the one i met seemed to do nothing

[bold tiger]

yeah, probably had damage resistence to it?

[slim elk]

One has a dmg res bubble, one has purple fire, another one is tanky asf, one is weak & does nothing and one goes invisible via smoke screen for a few seconds before you can hurt him

[woeful kite]

i found harrison and he droppd quickstep (im not lying dawg)

[bold tiger]

well, the invisible one can still be hurt if you can track it quickly

[slim elk]

Heather (?), Hugo, Harrison and idk the others named yet

[bold tiger]

yeah, they all drop seasonal and dz exclusive loot

[slim elk]

I had 4 of those drop and I deconstructed them

fk wrong reply

[woeful kite]

oh thats cool

should i replace the reload speed for crit damage or chance? on the quickstep

[slim elk]

Swap Speed

[inner tendon]

@woeful kite Basically with the Quickstep, you aren't going to be killing anything with it.
So any mod/attribute on it, should be focused solely around making putting it away/getting it out more efficiently.

[leaden crag]

Really appreciate you

[woeful kite]

got it

[slim elk]

that's enough for today ig

[bold tiger]

Nah, need double that

[slim elk]

a double patty burger? maybe

[mellow trout]

I could go for a burger rn 😋

[steep void]

I'm gonna do just random bounty and complete the event in 1 hr

[arctic nimbus]

Hello

Why the skill slot is red and i can´t put anything? Thanks

[worldly fjord]

Cause you don't have a mod to put in that slot

[arctic nimbus]

Hummm yes i have ... couple of them... for example, in drone one of the three slots is in red and i have one chd, and one protection...

[delicate tartan]

We dont have a trailer of the upcoming manhunt mission, would be nice to see what kind of mission we have to do , some spoilers

[pseudo tundra]

I think they want to keep an surprise

Including the special encounters

[delicate tartan]

Whats encounters?

[steep void]

Puzzles

[delicate tartan]

Oh

[acoustic lark]

Oh really, there are different dev teams? I didn't know! It doesn't matter if there r 100 different dev teams if u don't see the mentioned bugs and others fixed that have been in the game for ages but at the same time see cosmetics introduced with every update. It shows the general focus of the higher ups. Currently, cosmetics and NEW stuff instead of improving what's already there. And don't tell me what's already there is good the way it is, otherwise u just lack time spent playing certain content in the game.

[snow cargo]

idk what ou're getting at. The whole team as a whole is like 10 people.

[charred prism]

Anyone know why I can’t use PayPal all of a sudden? Used it on Ubi for years.

[shadow siren]

Is the recruiter oufit permanently available in store?

[silk knoll]

no it's a rerun it will be there only until feb 17

[shadow siren]

Understood, thank you!

[real wagon]

Yo when does the houndsman event fully start? I need that outfittt

[bold tiger]

already started as stated here #news-and-announcements message

[tired verge]

is the knave gloves bag rng or

[worldly fjord]

no you get all 3 at once, by doing the bounty

[steep void]

and all the people was asking for black houndsman outfit also can buy it from store now

[bold tiger]

but they want it free like the rest of us who played it during halloween

[mellow trout]

If they released it paid there would still be the same amount of complaints tbh; you can never please everyone

[rough trench]

It was paid on the second week of the Halloween.

[bold tiger]

so true 😹

[bold tiger]

was it? i thought it was part of the drop for houndsman?

[mellow trout]

It was but after the first week everything moved to the store

Outfit, skill vanity and all

[bold tiger]

ah, didn't pay attention i guess. i was just happy we got something different at the time

[rough trench]

Yeah, it was free for one week only.

[mellow trout]

It was a very pleasant surprise

Still doesn't make the sunset of apparel events any better but it's a start

[shadow siren]

Does the new houndsman bounty drop event caches or is that only thru the event track?

[bold tiger]

i haven't gotten any caches dropped honestly

[shadow siren]

Dang so I guess you can’t farm it like heck like I saw people doing awhile back then

[rough trench]

You get all three items at once, so there's nothing to farm there.

Unless you need any of the DZ or Event Items from the warhounds.

[shadow siren]

Yeah trying to farm for a better handbasket

Can you leave the first area then come back or does the bounty get removed?

[bold tiger]

think if you start it and leave or die it goes poof and you gotta go get another bounty? could be wrong honestly

[rough trench]

Yeah, you just gotta run to the memorial where the hunter spawns.

[shadow siren]

Ok just tested it. Killed first set of hounds, then fast travelled out. Bountyblost.

[steep void]

it was paid for 2 weeks out of 3 in halloween as well, it makes more sense to reward regular players by giving it free initially

[rough trench]

That's how it supposed to work. But you better run to the memorial rather then fast travelling to the safehouse. It's faster this way.

[bold tiger]

good to know, maybe that's how i got mine or maybe i paid for it but yeah i agree

[mellow trout]

Damn so you can't stack them this time round?

[mellow trout]

I farmed out everything when it was free
stonks

[rough trench]

You can.

It just resets when you go too far away. Same as the last time.

[shadow siren]

Ah so just run back out to that area on the map you showed then? And you won’t lose it? You can just go back to farm?

[mellow trout]

Ah nice

[mellow trout]

It'll say target lost but you can run it again from the menu

[rough trench]

It will be aborted and you'll have to run it again.

But you won't lose it, it stays in your bounty list.

[shadow siren]

Ooooh you’re right! Thanks! I somehow got 12 bounties last night lol.

Did one run then ended up leaving my second bounty via fast travel and it still says I have 11.

[bright trail]

got 0 bounty out of ~100 hounds yesterday. Immediately got multiple today. something was bugged

[rough trench]

Yesterday? The bounty started dropping tonight at midnight UTC.

[inner tendon]

technically it was yesterday for me too

[limpid sequoia]

just did the bounty and got the mask, bag, and gloves

is that all the rewards?

[rough trench]

Yes.

[rough trench]

Ah, nvm. It's almost 4pm UTC already.

[inner tendon]

I'm about 15 hours ahead of the US, IIRC. So get things at kinda weird times.

[rough trench]

So that means yesterday was today for you. 🤔

[limpid sequoia]

damn no bloody trenchcoat
sad

[rough trench]

Tier 10 reward for the GE.

[limpid sequoia]

ge?

[rough trench]

I suggest you read this.

[limpid sequoia]

oh global event

[bright trail]

can you just use the trench coat and not the rest?

or is it a single uniform

[bold tiger]

it's a uniform minus the boots, gloves and backpack

[rough trench]

Boots are part of the uniform.

Mask, gloves, backpack + the uniform.

[bleak lynx]

Can someone tell me what’s in the store ? Or can I check somewhere else

[inner tendon]

@bleak lynx Whenever there's a new thing, people post it over in #divashion

or well, normally. Guess they're asleep.

[rough trench]

And the og Houndsman.

[bleak lynx]

Thanks buddy!

[bright trail]

once activated? reanimated is everywhere? meaning if i do a stronghold. do i have to shoot guys in the head?

[nimble spruce]

yes, it's everywhere except dz/conflict, raids and incursion afaik. You don't have to shoot enemies in the head but if you don't they'll get back up after dying. Also you do a lot more headshot damage than usual.

[bright trail]

cant imagine doing a retaliation with event active

[rough trench]

Seems like you definitely didn't run into the bug where you could have both Reanimated and modifiers active last season.

[bright trail]

i did not play last season

[left ravine]

Why not? Makes it easier

And more fun, especially with red instead of green mist :p

[limber dove]

Where does the hound at Lincoln spawn?

[bright trail]

how is it easier if the enemies are getting up?

[inner tendon]

@limber dove mine was just inside the mission start, halfway to the big statue.
left side.

[left ravine]

Hit headshots @bright trail

The mist spreads out in close vincinity, harming other NPCsx

Perfect spawn wipes and NPC deterrent to stun them for a brief moment

Whipped out my Regulus yesterday and can't wait to pop heads today

[limber dove]

Oh thanks, I might have to clear invasion first

[inner tendon]

Shouldn't factor in.

but always worth a try.

[limber dove]

Wait I found him, he was hiding in a pile of luggage lol

[inner tendon]

daww, little thing was shy.

https://tenor.com/view/xdefiant-xbox-pc-ps5-ubisoft-gif-745843868406850139

[left ravine]

Takes a while for it to come out, then it gets stuck in that luggage pile sometimes. If you shoot early enough once the door is open and do some damage it usually swerves to the opposite side

[visual current]

Is this the Fox Pray I should keep or am I looking for the gloves ? Thanks!!

[limber dove]

Is the bounty hard or can I just do it myself

[limber dove]

And I think those are the good knees? Notice it has DtTooC as an attribute, not smth armor otherwise gets

[left ravine]

You have a dozen mini war hounds and a hunter. Idk what difficulty you play on but it's doable solo on any difficulty for sure

[left ravine]

Idk what you are looking for but the rolls for these knees aren't good. If you have enough materials in your inventory you can optimize the weapon damage and re-roll the other attribute to whatever you want. Otherwise keep farming, it's not a rare drop

[shadow siren]

Question: for the bloody valentine challenges for the reward tiers, does the viral effect do enough damage on harder difficulties or is it better to do them on normal if you want to do them fast?

[nimble spruce]

it does plenty of damage, easy enough to get on heroic (except the melee challenge, unless you use sweet dreams)

[limber dove]

is there a list somehwere of the best things to be farming from the doggies

[rough trench]

Chainkiller, The Gift, The Sacrifice, Hollow Man, Quickstep, Rock'n'Roll, Harvest, Handbasket.

Maybe Matador as well.

[left ravine]

Yup, Matador too

[shadow siren]

Oh wow I haven’t gotten rock n roll to drop yet

[left ravine]

Since it's a named item you can grind for its bp via Retaliations (or Descent, if you'd like) any time

[zenith pike]

Does anyone here know the name of the pistol with the fast hands perk?

i forgot what it was called...

[left ravine]

@humble spruce

[humble spruce]

@left ravine This is all Im seeing

[left ravine]

What the fugg

Did the UbiConnect client pull an update for you today?

9GB in size approx.

[humble spruce]

Pretty sure it did. Guess ill double check that.

[left ravine]

Alright then, restart the game including the launcher, make sure you downloaded and installed the update. By default this happens automatically

[humble spruce]

Somehow the update was never applied but I was somehow still able to login lmao

[left ravine]

Bricked. Alright there you go, let it install and you should be good

[humble spruce]

Thank you for your help, hopefully this fixes this problem

[left ravine]

No problem, fingers crossed

[slim elk]

do you mean the one that makes you move faster? Quickstep

[left ravine]

@delicate tartan

[delicate tartan]

Yes

[left ravine]

You get stars by leveling up and by finishing event tasks

[delicate tartan]

Yes im on 4 and have 14 stars

[left ravine]

And, what is your question or concern?

[delicate tartan]

I see you dont have bloody houndsman uniform aswell cause we do get new quests tomorow, we might be able complete all milstone rewards 🙂 .

[left ravine]

I just pointed out you get event stars by leveling up (one star per level-up) and also by finishing event tasks (multiple per completion) so if you play dedicated today, you can already unlock it

It's not limited to the event tasks, if you mean that

[delicate tartan]

I thought. Ok. Thanks

[zenith pike]

yea idk i saw it on someone it made them hella fast

[proud oyster]

Will we be able to get the exclusive exotics like regulus from the stretch goal caches even if we never got them from the original sources?

[pseudo tundra]

#patch-notes mentions what can drop or not

[proud oyster]

I did see that they can drop, just wasn't sure if they were restricted similarly to some targeted loot exotics needing a blueprint before being able to drop

[rough trench]

No, it's a hardcoded drop pool, and it doesn;t have any requirements. It just has its own drop chance, and that's it.

[proud oyster]

ty!!

[patent pasture]

Hi, someone to play The Manager on Master difficulty with me? I need Tinkerer mask 🙂

[bright trail]

what attributes do we want on matador?

[slim elk]

double crits preferably

[slow solar]

i want the immortal one i got yesterday as a pet. damn thing wondered around for a good 5 minutes then went into a door that cant be opened. totally unbothered.

[desert thunder]

When did they allow the companions into the White House? Cuz that's a new touch which is awesome!

[slow solar]

oooo thats a good one

wait is this that? ^^

[rough trench]

Hold "G" to change mission type.

[slow solar]

damn not bad at all.

[heady stirrup]

Did the Assassin's Creed collab end early???

I read it ended on Febuary 12th.

[slow solar]

idk but its ended yeah

[heady stirrup]

I was going to complete it today! Ugh... I'm going to contact support.

[left ravine]

Well, today is the 12th

It ended on daily reset

[rough trench]

Yeah, it ended on <t:1770883200>.

[slow solar]

wait what.

[left ravine]

It is the current event @slow solar

[heady stirrup]

That's such an odd time to end. I thought it would go THROUGH Febuary 12th, like most events. I gotta see if they said THROUGH once.

[left ravine]

Reanimated it's called, you can read up on it in the game and there are plenty news about it

[rough trench]

Well, it ended on daily reset, lasting two weeks. Like... as usual with any of the events.

Daily reset is always at <t:1770883200:t>.

[shadow siren]

Any way to get normal yaahl gear without dz?

[left ravine]

You can try crafting random brand set items but it'll get expensive really quick

[limber dove]

There was a timer that told us exactly when it was going to end 🥺

[heady stirrup]

Yeah I get the feeling I'm pretty dumb here... but I don't know if I don't try!

[left ravine]

Nothing wrong with asking questions

[limber dove]

Haha fair, I can’t imagine the devs will extend the event timer specifically for you tho 😔😔

[left ravine]

That stuff is probably going to end up in the shop, happend with other apparel events too

[heady stirrup]

No no I don't need the event extended. I would be happy to pay for the last three items.

[left ravine]

Right now you should focus on the Valentine's event and the Houndsman bounty

[limber dove]

Is there a point in completing houndsman more than once? Or should I just death reset the 6 bots at the start

[rough trench]

No point, you can reset and farm the doggos.

[limber dove]

Sweet thanks

[left ravine]

I'd rather get the Houndsman outfit from the event pass first but you do you, there is plenty time atm

[limber dove]

Oh do you get a lot of progress from the bounty

[left ravine]

It's not much XP

Nor can you fulfill the event tasks from the bounty

[limber dove]

You know

That’s a good point

I got my swap speed quickstep so I’m probably fine for now :3

[left ravine]

Maybe I've been playing looter shooters for too long but I always go for the time gated stuff first

[limber dove]

Time is a social construct

[left ravine]

I mean technically it's both time gated, the bounty as well as the event, but you can get named items from other sources. Not the outfit tho

Perhaps at some point via the shop but you get my point I'm sure

[rough trench]

Does it even give XP?

It doesn't

[left ravine]

I haven't checked in detail, I just noticed by XP bar didnt move noticeably lol

[slow solar]

oh i have to clear it anyway lol.

also rip.

[desert thunder]

same some for after the event so you just farm the dogs

[bright trail]

there is something wrong with heroic missions i am telling you. they must have nerfed them

just did the dc, it was easier than challenigng. just 1 elite at the end, does not make sense

[slow solar]

i am getting a lot better at soloing these.

[slow solar]

@snow cargo this set is working so well.

[limber dove]

What are you using 👀

[slow solar]

wait what?

[slow solar]

still missing overdogs

[limber dove]

Interesting 🤔

[snow cargo]

Do you have memento?

Or get a BP with 2 of 3: Skill Dmg/CHC/Combined Arms.

[snow cargo]

Pretty sure you still need a better chest talent.

[snow cargo]

Very specific to for them.

[slow solar]

i do yeah

[snow cargo]

Use that!

Don't sweet on picking the things up in the middle of the fights.

If it's like right next to you and not out of your way use but otherwise pick up afterwards.

Once you build stacks up you'll notice a difference!

[slow solar]

ive done this 4 times and cant find the gear. are they blueprints not items?

[rough trench]

It's in apparel...

And you don't really need to do it that many times.

[desert thunder]

Just the one time

then just farm the dogs

[limber dove]

Oh ok

[wide jolt]

If you are missing overdogs, what is your current setup you are running ?

[real wagon]

Each watch lvl gives u a star for the event?

[snow cargo]

5pcs refactor.

[wide jolt]

No comment

[snow cargo]

Trust it's better than before. It's a WIP

[wispy merlin]

ninjabike 5p improvised is any man's nirvana

[slow solar]

nice. getting close to full l7 gear

[civic junco]

Has anyone figured out what causes the crash in Countdown after completing the main obj?

[daring wren]

End chest on Lab and Reactor will do it

The rest seem to be safe from what I’ve seen

[civic junco]

So basically impossible to fix

[daring wren]

It’s been around a long time lol

[civic junco]

Yeah I've gotten it a buch the last few days

[daring wren]

Try skipping those if they come up I think you’ll have better luck

The loot from the extraction is way better than the one chest anyway

[civic junco]

Can't really skip if that is what the team does

It's crashing me literally when the main obj text comes on the screen

So not even taking the chest unless it's another hitting the chest at that time

[daring wren]

It’s the chest. It doesn’t crash immediately

Just lab and reactor big end ones

[bright trail]

How do i get assault rifle components( the one you use for optimizing , i dont know the actual name)

[rough trench]

Opening the chest while having close extraction when your main objective is at the Reactor or the Lab.

[daring wren]

Yes just don’t open it yourself

[rough trench]

However, this hasn't happened to me in quite a while... almost a year, I guess. Not that I run Countdowns that often these days, but still.
At one point I thought it had been fixed, but yeah, probably better to avoid opening it if you have close extraction.

[daring wren]

If you people drop just before extract that’s what happened lol

[rough trench]

Just deconstruct ARs.

If we're talking about alloy.

[slow solar]

if you have the blueprint you can make them

[bright trail]

yes alloys

it seems i dont have the bp

[rough trench]

The game actually tells you everything.

[bright trail]

yeah, i am not in the game and remembered it lol

[shadow isle]

what apparel type is the broken heart? The apparel reward indicator (! in the Apparel menu) is there but none of the sub options has the !

[civic junco]

Probably the uniform section

Right below masks

[rough trench]

Skill VFX.

[shadow isle]

thanks, now I see it

[civic junco]

There is a skill effect too?

[rough trench]

Tier 5 of the Reanimated GE.

[civic junco]

I thought that was a patch lol

Well now I am dissapoint because that would be cool as a patch

[rough trench]

Cool patch is in Twitch Drops.

[civic junco]

What's that one?

[rough trench]

#division-tweets message

[civic junco]

Debatable

Broken Heart looks cooler as a patch than the shot one

[rough trench]

Looks almost the same. 😛

[civic junco]

Not even close, what?

[rough trench]

Well, both are red hearts. So it's almost the same.

[civic junco]

The thorns are cooler

[slow solar]

damn already half done

[desert thunder]

whats taking you so long it only an hour to do it

Got to get that extra 125%

[snow cargo]

How Memento feeling?

[wide jolt]

Switch your shield to Turret and you'll have things go faster. Throw it on an elevated postion though.

[limber dove]

Is my Battle for Brooklyn quest marker bugged? Also why do we have a razorback, it showed up after I accidentally boosted past the black tusk stuff

Oh I found her, they just never moved the quest icon

[slow solar]

oh wow lol.

does that mean its uncompleteable?

i wasnt even doing the control point and i completed it some how lol

[limber dove]

nah the pilot was just moved to the left of the white house entrance

[slow solar]

ahhh

wait isnt this an event thing? ive seen it somewhere......

yessss omg

[inner tendon]

That's part of an Exotic Project to get the Dodge City Holster.

[left ravine]

DCH component

[slow solar]

it told me to collect my reward at the base, where do i do that?

[left ravine]

I think you can claim it via map menu too, check the projects tab

[slow solar]

no it just teleports me to the main room at the white house

ohhh the upstairs lady has it. 😮

[left ravine]

Talk to the desk lady upstairs

There you go

[slow solar]

did they bump the loot amount with the event for all named?

[rough trench]

Nah.

[slow solar]

awww

[tired verge]

whats the best way to farm stars aft completing challenges

[slim elk]

bond bank cheesing is the answer

because you get 5 stars per level up, and you get very good xp when there's a global event going on

[tired verge]

what in the kelso is that

[slim elk]

go to pins, Control Point XP Farming, Google Document and it's explained in there

[tired verge]

oh yea, i forgot about that, thank you

[slim elk]

Might as well update it

[bright trail]

do agitations reset daily?

[slim elk]

nope, you can keep them as long as you don't Initiate it

[tired verge]

i will do, whats that cp called

[slim elk]

the one I'm running? Sinkhole

[tired verge]

i have one that im more comfortable w

the nest thats the one

ooo sinkhole is good too

ok 4 directives, screw u pistolero

[slim elk]

God bless Sharpshooter

[wispy merlin]

the person? Albert Einstein

[slim elk]

the player? dien- oh that's you

[grim ruin]

I haven't played in a while and I see that people are doing that hound mission and they drop a lot of named items
What named items or other items in that mission should I be looking to keep?

[rough trench]

#ask-td2-community message

[grim ruin]

Thank you. Sorry about that @rough trench

[bright trail]

what is the desired attribute in a hand gun?

[slow solar]

im confused af lol.

[slim elk]

is it quickstep?

[slow solar]

i have 18. but 9/14 daily?

[bright trail]

harvest and quikstep. i have 2 each , trying decide which one to keep

[slim elk]

harvest DTOC (flatline as talent), quickstep Swap Speed

[bright trail]

lol none has dtoc or swap speed

[rough trench]

9/14 for the challenges.

[slim elk]

quickstep has a fixed talent so just put swap speed on it

[limber dove]

Recalibration :3

[tacit inlet]

This dude already got the full outfit 😅

[slow solar]

ahhh

[left plinth]

Im curious about this event, does this bonus applies to Caches too such as Gear, Weapons and Optimization Caches?

[rough trench]

No.

[rough trench]

@left plinth I mean it doubles all alloys and all gear materials as well as SHD Recalibration and Field Recon Data from all sources. If that was your question.

Also, there's definitely gonna be an article on the Ubi website with detailed information next week.

[limber dove]

Is that infographic based on leaks?

[left plinth]

What about Deconstructing your stuff?

Such as Exotics

[rough trench]

Exotics don't give you any materials apart from exo components.

x2 exo components was part of the Expertise Surge event last time if I'm not mistaken.

[steep void]

All nba farmers

[tacit inlet]

I thought I was quick with it but damn 😂

[rich beacon]

So I just found out what the Ivory keys are and Holy shit im so glad that the first hunter targeted my companion.. but how do I get the one from the pool? I did the jumping jacks but nothing is working

Or are there other ones that I gotta do before the pool?

[mellow trout]

you can do them in any order but most have to be done between 9pm and 5am

[rich beacon]

So is the pool required before 9PM?

Cuz if so then ik now

[mellow trout]

After

[steep void]

Watch gcrock video for it, it has mostly updated information

[rich beacon]

alrighty, thank yall!

[inner tendon]

general PSA: 21:00 - 05:00 is considered "night" as far as the div2 hunters go.

[magic charm]

what stat affects the sight acquisition time for snipers?

[nocturne siren]

Weapon handling I think

[oak gazelle]

stability

@nocturne siren while that's true weapon handling includes accuracy, stability and reload speed, but the stability is the one that shortens the time

[unreal token]

guyz how do i upgrade this ? it looks like my gun isn't going beyond level 10

[frosty copper]

Capture the whole build of yours bro

U had to use ur gun up to lv10, then u can upgrade ur expertise

Actually i dont recommend u do that cuz it will deplete ur resources quickly

[unreal token]

my gun is already lvl 10

i just dont know how to get it beyond only 5 upgrades

[worldly fjord]

Proficiency caps at 10

Expertise upgrades on stuff only goes as high as your character's, which in your case is currently 5

[unreal token]

so my character currently is only 5 expertise, means i can only upgrade my gun 5 times ?

[worldly fjord]

Yes

[frosty copper]

Affirmative

[unreal token]

so....how do i bring that up? By playing and profficient more weapons ?

[worldly fjord]

Yes

[unreal token]

ait bet

do i need to upgrade them 5 times after i finish level 10 on them ?

[worldly fjord]

Though if your watch level is high enough i recommend donating mats, its much faster than playing

[worldly fjord]

An item has to be proficient before you can upgrade it

[unreal token]

yea i have a bunch of lvl still being used to get mats but idk how do i push this expertise up

[unreal token]

oh no, i mena do i need to upgrade it to add points to this 50/200 thing

[worldly fjord]

Spam countdown, donate junk also

[worldly fjord]

No, upgrades aren't needed for that

[unreal token]

oh, so just farm gears and donate ? :v i don't really have to play with different stuff ?

shit man....i've been just putting them into materials

[worldly fjord]

3 ways you can become proficient:

1. Play with the item
2. Donate junk
3. Donate resources

[unreal token]

bet

im donating items then lmao, i dont like playing non-long range style

[worldly fjord]

Option 2 doesn't work with specialization weapons and skills (cause there's no junk to donate), but its a really good way of knocking out brand sets and gear sets

[gaunt crater]

I'm sorry if this has already been discussed, but I have a hard time keeping up with this Discord.

Is there a good area to "farm" the Hounds? I head out of town tomorrow and today is my last day to try and grab a Quickstep

[pseudo tundra]

they share same spawn points as the loot goblin backpack guy

so you can find map for him and use that

otherwise try matchmaking for bounties

as most people are also trying to farm the boss which has many hounds

[wispy shuttle]

Dz south over and over and over. Just keep reloading that zone

[bright trail]

or Jefferson plaza

[gaunt crater]

In the DZ? Or just outside?

[wispy shuttle]

Outside

[gaunt crater]

Thanks all, I found the Jefferson Plaza one, but it disappeared before I could nab the kill. 🙁

[bold fulcrum]

so how do ou guys do the bloody valentine challenges quicker here?

[crude osprey]

anyone know if turmoil is dropping or is it just an april fools item

[pseudo tundra]

Not at valentine event, but will on the stretch goal i belive

Check #patch-notes

[crude osprey]

hopefully, ty

it does, cool

^^ thats for stretch goals

[limber dove]

Shoot the back legs

And you can kill them nonstop if you teleport between 3-4 locations, they respawn after 60 seconds

I did DZ south entrance, DCD, and JTC

And Lincoln

[gaunt crater]

Thanks! Killed a bunch, got the bounty, died during the bounty because I got hit with an EMP before the Houndsman dropped me. 😭

[left ravine]

It's a hunter, they do that frequently during a fight

[real wagon]

Yo does leveling up normally give u starts for the event?

[left ravine]

Yes

[gaunt crater]

Gonna go in with a Battle Buddy next time

[bright trail]

ok finally decided to battle for brokklyn. need to talk to casey but he is not there

ok he was somehwere else

[tepid sierra]

Does the Valentine's skin for the Drone make a annoying noise like the Bat?

[left ravine]

That's a very legit question

[tepid sierra]

I can't find a streamer using it, nor a video showing it off...

[fickle ravine]

are decoys less useful when in groups

[limber dove]

Does Bell Ringer have any differences to the normal MG5? It didn’t appear to in my inventory

[tepid sierra]

have you shot it?

[limber dove]

Lmao

I play without sound a lot bahaha I just put my headphones on

I imagine that gets tiresome fast

[tepid sierra]

the "tune" Rhythm changes with Strikers build too, or slowing the rate of fire

[left ravine]

I don't mind the jingle bells tune from that LMG; but as soon as I hear the screeching sound of that Halloween drone SFX I usually leave the lobby

[steep void]

that and restorer blinding vfx is my fav

[mellow trout]

Dude that thing is so distracting it's ridiculous

[bold tiger]

that the halloween one?

[mellow trout]

Idek what it's called but I know there was an independence day one and there's some blue one

Both are extremely bright and flashy

[left ravine]

This?

[mellow trout]

Yea

[left ravine]

Yeah it's also mad annoying with a Stinger or Restorer Hive

[bold tiger]

@mellow trout here's the ghost one https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZPIO4txfIOM

[tepid sierra]

yea, the hive can be a pain, if I haven't been blocked enuf by the person with a shield walking in front, the Hive will fill the scope

[mellow trout]

That was the one

[steep void]

its the best

[left ravine]

<insert MY EYES blinding gif meme here>

[mellow trout]

"DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS" ahh vanity

[bold tiger]

assume it's from a movie with a rather catchy song?

knows naval hears the song now 😹

[mellow trout]

🤔☎️

👻❌

[left ravine]

Hahahha

[bold tiger]

now how do we put that song in emojis? 🤔

[left ravine]

Who you gonna call?

[bold tiger]

@mellow trout , @wispy merlin , @nocturne siren for me anyways?

they're my gotos for div 2 things anyways

[mellow trout]

Sir I just lurk here

[bold tiger]

oh yeah @snow cargo too 😹

[mellow trout]

Am average

[bold tiger]

i'm below noob 🤔

[wispy merlin]

i don't know why i'm even here

[desert thunder]

Is there any way in the settings that a person turned down the much caches they get? I like to grind. I don't like this stuff being handed to me on a plate. It's like they took the fun out of grinding for gear

[limber dove]

Just don’t open them I guess

[desert thunder]

I dont the map is litter with them lol

[left ravine]

It's a level-up cache, if you use any crazy XP farms that happens

I guess you will be very happy about 5x XP events 😛

[desert thunder]

So basically I got to turn that off and do easy not to get so much XP

[left ravine]

Yeah, slows it down

[desert thunder]

Man I don't like doing the five time XP I really don't lol

[left ravine]

You're the first person I meet who is against those events. You remind me of vanilla Rust players

[desert thunder]

Like there should be a way we should be able to turn that off. You know it's like I got everything everything's is leveled up to level 30 so I don't need these caches I don't want them

[left ravine]

Or maybe don't use crazy XP farms 😄

[desert thunder]

That was doing hard daily on Jefferson trade center

[left ravine]

How many times did you run it? lol

[desert thunder]

Once to get my projects out of the way

[left ravine]

I'd have thought you're farming classified assignments or sth alike

[desert thunder]

I don't even do this again. I got all the gear. I got it all leveled up to level 30. I'm just kicking back and playing the game because I like the game

The only thing I'm looking for are God roll mod chips

[left ravine]

Those will drop over time; just need patience

[floral estuary]

Hey, anyone knows if the event is active in new york / brooklyn DLC ?

[left ravine]

It's not

[rough trench]

Wait, you can't turn on Reanimated in WoNY/BfB?

[left ravine]

Well Reanimated works there ofc, I meant the Bloody Houndsman

[rough trench]

Ah. lol

[floral estuary]

Ah no I meant the reanimated one 😅 global event

[left ravine]

Global events work everywhere in open world

[floral estuary]

Ok nice, thanks 😄

[nocturne siren]

I'm just a truck

[bright trail]

how does elite patrol look on the map?

[rancid trail]

What's the reason that 13% PFE is such a rare drop

[bright trail]

this is not the scout

[pseudo tundra]

Elite patrol looks like a walkie talkie with a red circle around it

[void token]

How can I find the new bounties?

[rough trench]

Open bounties tab on your map and navigate to Southwest.

[void token]

How do I earn the bounties? Sorry thanks!

[rough trench]

By killing mini-warhounds that spawn in the open world at Loot Goblin locations. It's a guaranteed drop from the 5th hound.

The bounty never drops from the first hound, so you need to kill at least two for it to start rolling. The fifth hound in the cycle is guaranteed to drop it.

Just run the following loop a few times and you should be good.

1. Fast travel to DZ South
2. Kill the hound
3. Wait 60 seconds
4. Fast travel to JTC
5. Kill the hound
6. Wait 60 seconds

[void token]

Works perfectly! Thanks a-lot

[limber dove]

Do you have to wait? I feel like i was able to just teleport right after killing. But I might’ve been hanging around for a few seconds to see what they dropped?

[rough trench]

You need to wait 60 seconds after killing the dog and before fast traveling to the next spawn. If you fast travel while the cooldown is still active, it won't trigger the spawn.

[limber dove]

Ah

[slim elk]

Maybe it's not a thing and I'm imagining it works like that

Why the thumbs down? I'm curious

oh wait dognutzz, I'm dumb asf lol
Ignore what I said

I just realized what I said

[rough trench]

lol

[rough trench]

I didn't fully realize what you said btw as I was writing a reply to the first part of your message, lol. 🤣

[slim elk]

I thought I was into something but then I just... fkd up lmao

[shadow isle]

anyone know what you're supposed to do for the supply chain manhunt objective? I've tried intercepting resource convoys, black tusk supply convoys, and taking control points....am out of ideas

[pseudo tundra]

It has to be elite resource convoys

[zenith pike]

any idea where i can find a medic companion?

[rough trench]

Any of the safehouses.

Or the scripted encounter outside the 1040 safehouse.

[leaden flame]

Anyone know how I can get my hand on the Lexington upon this new season and update??

[rough trench]

Wait until 17th first, the day when Stretch Goals start.

Then just earn SXP and open them caches.

[leaden flame]

Thank you I appreciate it

[zenith pike]

appreciate it bro

[tepid sierra]

it's quieter than Bat by a mile,

[heavy mountain]

anyone know why the elite convoys are not sprawning

[rough trench]

Just fast travel offsite and then back to DC until it appears.

[heavy mountain]

i have done that m8 with no luck but thanks anyway

[rough trench]

Usually changing sessions helps. Also, if you wait a bit longer or roam around the map, it might spawn as well.

[nocturne siren]

Stealing this and pasting it in my own server

[tepid sierra]

play a round of Candy Crusher (or "Roll 'n Bowl") and have the map open, boom Elite Convoy.

[slow solar]

i was so confused how i just instantly died. now i see why lol.

[slow solar]

4 kill squads. and no decent loot or blue prints 🙁

[bright trail]

Story of my life

[mellow trout]

The prints go straight to your bench they don't drop

I feel like I've already explained this

[slow solar]

i have no new ones in my bench. did just get this from a control point.

[slow solar]

every time i do one i check my bench. ive got 2 masks and 3 guns out of 15 or so kill squads

[mellow trout]

Up the difficulty then tbh

Best chances

[versed harbor]

What is scout 2 objective 3? I assumed just a true son hostage event but that didn't do it.

[rugged stratus]

you also have faction specific blueprints, make sure you are targeting a faction you still need the blueprints from

[slow solar]

i am yeah. i keep getting the 4 site one 🙁

[slow solar]

hyenas are def the one for overdogs right?

[versed harbor]

Yea, actually got my first pair from them the other day.

[rough trench]

Overdogs is Hyena Completion, which is only 35% chance on Challenging difficulty.

[formal lichen]

What are the Automated Defense Parts or whatever? I need them to craft a pair of Overdogs but no faction drops them

[rough trench]

It's a Black Tusks resource. You have to craft them from Broken SHD Watches.

[formal lichen]

How much can I get for crafting?

[civic junco]

Save your watche3s they drop in runs

[formal lichen]

It costs 5 watches to craft a package of them and 35 total parts are needed for the Overdogs

[rough trench]

Automated Defense Parts don't drop from any faction, they have to be crafted.

[gray totem]

Anyone know the best way to get tactical assessments? I dont have any of the blueprints and I'm just trying to optimize some gear.

[slow solar]

control points i believe
but retaliation's for sure.

[civic junco]

Yeah those are the only one

Just looked it up

[gray totem]

And from what I understand you msut complete retaliations in 20 minutes right

[civic junco]

Well depends on how much you kill

[slow solar]

you have 5 hours to start them. but you have a limited amount of time to complete them. you get more time for kills and completing sites/kill squads

[rough trench]

You can craft it. And also CPs and Retaliation. But I'd wait for the Optimization Surge event as it's gonna double all faction materials.

[gray totem]

What do I do If I have a retaliation for outcasts, but they have no control points in that area?

[rough trench]

Retaliation overrides whatever you have in your Open World. Just initiate it.

[civic junco]

Lengmo Pesti build really does a lot of work in Heroic Retaliations. Another build I like there is this #ask-td2-community message

But honestly all you need is a good Striker or Tipping Scales build and you can complete all Heroic Retaliations

[rough trench]

Aside from Lengmo Pesti, I'd say all you really need for Retal is Nego.

[civic junco]

Yeah Bluescreen Dilemma is noice

[slow solar]

wait what

[civic junco]

The biggest thing about Retal is your route. You need to know where you are going and make sure to not veer off the path.

Like when I start a retal the first thing I do is look at the zone and chart an attack order and look at the map for connections.

Do some runs in open world first if you are new to it

Last thing you want is to have Retal cancelled because you veered off course. \

[rough trench]

There's been a UI bug since the start of the season where it shows a subset of all the bounties in that area when you pick one up.

[versed harbor]

So is the old houndsman outfit earnable again or is this event only for bloody?

[inner tendon]

Houndsman is paid this time, the Bloody version is free.

[versed harbor]

Since the outfit is available for the reanimated event what are the bounties for this time around?

[inner tendon]

Full details of the event: https://www.ubisoft.com/en-au/game/the-division/the-division-2/news-updates/2nlqxUAePtllSsxl2hV3nr

tl;dr activate your bounty to reveal the location of the Bloody Houndsman and take him down to secure the Bloody Houndsman Mask, Gloves and Backpack.

[versed harbor]

Ahhh gotcha. Cool, thank you.

Sucks that it's outfit locked, would love to use the pants with other looks.

[rugged stratus]

that ones not bad, east mall is my nemesis

[slow solar]

yay event complete.

[fickle ravine]

is the hardcore symbol a visual bug? i thought normal and hardcore players were separated

[vital gull]

When trying to get the nemesis sniper from tidal basin. Is it rng once you dismantle the named marksman rifle to get its part?

[mellow trout]

No

[rough trench]

Not in CD.

[fickle ravine]

interesting

[vital gull]

Hmm weird, didnt get the part when I dismantled the named sniper

guess i'll run it again

[slow solar]

does this mean the events over?

[slim elk]

over in what way?

[slow solar]

as in no more event rewards other then these (farmed out 7 exotic caches)

[slim elk]

uhhh no? you can still get stars

[slow solar]

i know that haha. but like no more event only rewards. just star rewards?

[slow solar]

oh nice. got some okay stuff from the caches

this one has replaced overdogs for me. def love that its all cores in one.

[bright trail]

does unified alloys have a named backpack?

[civic junco]

no

[slow solar]

my dz bugged out. what do i do?

been sitting here 5 minutes waiting for it to leave

[slim elk]

@unreal solar want these? lol

[unreal solar]

yes... ;w;
omg it's such a good roll too

how do i farm these hounds, just kill myself after i kill the 1st section ones?

[slow solar]

WTF two bugged?

[slim elk]

I'm sorry, I'm evil.

[unreal solar]

That's downright awful i hate you

[unreal solar]

oh hey i got something somewhat good'ish?, i would still prefer to have both being armor regen..

[slim elk]

if you farm them you'll basically have infinite named items

[slim elk]

run this, let me forward my message

choose at least two or run them all on repeat, every hound has a 1 minute cooldown

[unreal solar]

beauty, 'ppreciate it <3

[slow solar]

whats the bar next to the gun? with the number 40 in it?

[worldly fjord]

MARK.AS.FAVORITE

[unreal solar]

Well, i now got the two pieces i needed
two emperor's guard
one with armor regen and one with hs damage lol

[slim elk]

rngesus loves you

[slow solar]

what do i do with extras btw?

[worldly fjord]

Keep 1 copy, deconstruct the rest for trash exotics.
If its a good exotic, keep one copy per character, then delete the rest

[worldly fjord]

Capacitor's talent

[wispy merlin]

who's that cowboy in the bg

[slim elk]

I didn't ask for his number, he looks cute

[slow solar]

where do i find this guy? ive searched through the white house 3 times top to bottom 🙁

is he in the blocked room?

[bright trail]

He is not there he is in one of the settlement la

[slow solar]

no wonder i cant find him lol. it always tells me hes here.

[bright trail]

Check castle

[worldly fjord]

She's actually in the castle settlement, not whote house

Right next to the vendor

[slow solar]

i dont know what im suposed to do lol. i cant interact with anyone or anything here.

[slim elk]

that's her

[slow solar]

i cant interact with her.

[slim elk]

relog lol

[slow solar]

that did it

[slow solar]

how many can you get lol?

[steep void]

i got zero bloody bounty

maybe i should get one just to save it

[slow solar]

they drop like 30-50 gear each time

[worldly fjord]

are there any "hidden" rewards in this even like the BAT drone skin from the halloween event?

[steep void]

i know i play the bounty but never grinded for it, i just do matchmake

[slow solar]

ahhh. well its not worth grinding for. every few creatures i get another one

[quick folio]

does tinkerer work with lexington?

i guess not

[slow solar]

wait what is this for?

[dense basalt]

Chatterbox. Open Hyena lock boxes in different regions get all the pieces. Then get blueprint in grand Washington hotel locked room in another locked box

[rugged stratus]

You get the blueprint from bankhq , vault locked room , normal replay

[dense basalt]

Oh ye that's what I meant my bad haven't slept yet

[rugged stratus]

No worries 🍻

[slow solar]

wait they can spawn in hostage rescues now too?

[left plinth]

They spawn in both free roam and during missions

Rare as heck tho

[quick folio]

Where do i enable conditionals? (like if enemy is bleeding, or if i got killer stacks)

[slow solar]

yeah its the first time ive ever seen them in free roam. ive seen them afew times at control points

[nocturne siren]

No. Tinkerer works only with non-named/exotic weapons. If it has a name (Lexington, Stack Broker, Swap Chain, etc), it won't work

[nocturne siren]

Killer isn't a stack. It's a proc off of a crit kill. Additionally, if you want to fully calculate your damage, here:

[quick folio]

i ain doin allat

[nocturne siren]

Well, you asked and you got an answer. That's how you'd do it

I don't blame you tho lmao

[woeful blaze]

Newer player here trying to sort the stash as I’m already full any tips on gear to keep and get rid of?

[nocturne siren]

Honestly you can make posts every so often here asking if an item is worth keeping. We would be happy to help you clear out that inventory

People's stash gets full because they're squirreling away items they want to "collect" without realizing that those items they're collecting are junk and it's just an excuse to hoard

[woeful blaze]

That’s what I’m afraid of having gear that I won’t even use but I don’t know what gear is good. I have striker, unit alloy, and heartbreaker that I currently use but other than that I don’t feel like I need much more at least until I make another build?! As I can just farm summit for targeted gear when needed as long as I am pulling g rolled attributes off of the gear before discarding?!

[nocturne siren]

I'm assuming you either don't have Xbox live to farm Countdown/Retaliation, or you don't know that Countdown is the best targeted loot farm system there is

But you are right, striker/heartbreaker can be built to be very strong builds. Crit builds don't change all that much

[woeful blaze]

I do summit so I get watch levels as well or at least that’s what I was told was countdown doesn’t give watch levels?!

[nocturne siren]

Summit gives incredibly shit XP. Countdown the same way

They're not meant for leveling as you farm. Mainly just for farming gear

Doing the challenges might reward you with a level or 2 every hour or so

[woeful blaze]

Lmfaooo ahhh gotcha I see. So then what’s best for reaching watch lvl 1000

[nocturne siren]

Well, you're asking just the right person here. I hate to say it, but doing all directives heroic Control Points using a HeadHunter + Determined + Hotshot build is the quickest way to farm levels (when there is no xp event and global event active). If you stick to the control points nearby safehouse spawns, you can get quick travel time. Hotshot + Determined + HeadHunter can kill basically everything with 1 shot. Arguably the most efficient solo build in the game. When you have control points spawns memorized, you can clear those bad boys in 2-3 minutes.

Back when I was farming sys Corr (pvp build), I used to do it during global events for stars and I used to do it during XP events. If you do 100 a day with all directives enabled on heroic difficulty, you will reach SHD 1k in 10 days

If you did 10 a day, you'd reach SHD 1k in 100 days

The formula doesn't change much so if you did 25 in a day, you'd slice that time by a quarter

You're in luck though, because we currently have a global event active right now that boosts the shit out of headshot damage. It makes dealing any kind of headshot damage much more lethal. Additionally, killing an enemy with a headshot leaves behind corrosive, damaging clouds that will help clear enemies in the area. Think of it like a passive Oxi burn. They will come back alive so make sure to headshot kill the enemy again. Now is the time to farm control points using Hotshot (a pistol determined build will work flawlessly too)

I used to farm control points until I went stir crazy and fully transformed into a truck. I'm no longer human

[woeful blaze]

Lmfaooo I was wondering because the same time the re animation event dropped I got my striker build and thought the gear was killing surrounding enemies and I was like wtf is going on until I realized it was the event bonus🤣🤣

[nocturne siren]

Correct. That's my secret to the quickest control point clear times, is using this event. This event rewards that type of build and it will give you significantly faster clear times. Using regulus as a backup makes it even quicker due to the explosion area effect. If you don't have regulus, don't worry too much about it. Just stick to hotshot + determined

If you need a build template, I am more than happy to give you one I personally recommend for this type of farm for levels

[woeful blaze]

Looks like I need to farm hotshot gear first

[nocturne siren]

It's super easy to farm

Ever play countdown before?

[woeful blaze]

Yea I’ve done it once but don’t really recall it

[nocturne siren]

Find countdown, set targeted loot to Hotshot, matchmake for Challenging. Follow the group all in one. If you see some solo veer off into some random area, check the map to see where your team is going. You sometimes get clueless idiots who don't know what they're doing. It's a very easy mode

[woeful blaze]

Doing one now

[nocturne siren]

I'll leave behind a hotshot template for you to follow and farm for, and I'll leave behind a tutorial for countdown if you find yourself still confused

[spare girder]

When does the Valentine's event end?

[rough trench]

26th.

[spare girder]

YES

[nocturne siren]

With the event you can use Bloodsucker for backpack talent if you want some survivability. Completely fine to do so

Don't even need sharpshooter either, can just use Gunner for AoK. I frequently do so

Get 1 headshot kill, Bodyshot the rest. Be careful of helmet wearing enemies. You'll need to follow up with an additional headshot for the kill

Lastly, if confused by anything countdown related, here's this-

https://youtu.be/ogykvhf7Vk0?si=IlNEm0_ip2r1Q9ux

[slow solar]

guessing theres no way to bulk use these?

[rough trench]

Nope.

[nimble spruce]

Turmoil HH is particularly effective this week too since the extra hsd helps offset the half damage from turmoil when you don't have hh stacked.
Of course that's more enemies that will likely get back up, but the acid clouds generally kill them again so overall it speeds things up.

[quick folio]

so what if i already own the CPs in the retaliation zones?

[pseudo tundra]

you can force reset them

[quick folio]

do i need to?, i have one out of 3

[pseudo tundra]

oh sorry

read that wrong

retaliation the enemy will take over if you do nothing

[quick folio]

is determined 1886 good for retaliations?

[nimble spruce]

It'll do the job, yes, especially with reanimated active.
When you start the retaliation all CPs will go hostile whether they were previously green or not.

[quick folio]

what is reanimated

[nimble spruce]

The current global event, see the timelines tab of the season menu for details

Gives a huge headshot damage boost

[quick folio]

ooh so hs only

[nimble spruce]

Yes

[quick folio]

how do i know if its activated

is it on by default

[nimble spruce]

It's not on by default. Shoot an enemy in the head and if there's a big red cloud, it's active.

[quick folio]

shouldnt there be a press F to activate thing?

[nimble spruce]

Space to open, then hold f

[quick folio]

yea thanks

90mil a headshot is nasty

why df did i get TP to safehouse

i see now.

[quick folio]

how to get more broken shd watches?

is it 1 per retaliation?

[novel shard]

Higher difficulty gets more rewards

[quick folio]

i mean im only doing heroic

[worldly fjord]

You get 1 broken watch per a successful retaliation.
You can also convert faction materials into broken watches

[quick folio]

define factionm materials

[worldly fjord]

25:5 ratio

[worldly fjord]

Stuff you get from retaliation. Each faction has its own unique retaliation material

[quick folio]

aaah

uh, am i not supposed to get blueprints from reconstructed caches?

[worldly fjord]

Yeah what about it

[quick folio]

cuz i opened one and i got the sacrifice, as an item

[wicked aspen]

Does countdown deactivate the event? Lmao my hotshot build felt weird and I didn’t realize the event was deactivated until after completing a control point

GE doesn't work in Raids, Incursion, Countdown, and Descent.

Makes me think it probably won't work in Climax either, since it's an off-site location... Kinda sad as I was hoping to have some fun with it.

[nimble spruce]

You get a named item and a (different) named item blueprint. Unless you already have all the available blueprints.

[rancid dirge]

Anybody have a bloody supply drop in east mall? Been waiting almost 3 days and have cleared every cp multiple times.

[rough trench]

Tried fast traveling anywhere offsite and then back?

[rancid dirge]

Yes. Have done multiple activities. Relogged. You name it.

[rough trench]

Relogging doesn't help spawn it, but travelling to other maps and back usually does.

Like, for me it and other people I know it works in 9/10 cases.

[rancid dirge]

Maps? Like NY or BK?

[rough trench]

Yeah, anywhere. NY, BK, Raid, Incursion, CD.

Supply drop usually spawns instantly when you get back to DC.

Unlike other activities like Elite Resource Convoy, etc.

[quick folio]

uuh right i got a weapon blueprint then? are those a thing?

[nimble spruce]

If you look in the pinned messages in #td2-descent you'll find a list of all the blueprints that can drop from reconstructed caches.

[rough trench]

Or! You can use this complete list of all blueprints. 🤓

[worldly fjord]

I prefer what kettle said 😁

Cause..you know

[spark sparrow]

hi how do i start the bloody valentine bounty thanks ?????

[tacit inlet]

Southwest area if you haven’t killed enough mini hounds you’ll need to do that first and it’ll come up

[spark sparrow]

ok i am level 20 does that matter story mode

[tacit inlet]

You need to be endgame I think

[spark sparrow]

oh ok i have an endgame character but im playing a new one

[frozen crater]

Trying to find the fastest xp farm that has re animated zombies so that I can level up the pass, anyone have any recommendations?

[tacit inlet]

Oh yeah might have to run the endgame to get it and should be able to share it across your characters

[shadow isle]

fast travelling between maps seems to help, and reset your control points to maximize the possible spawn locations

[left ravine]

You need to control a district for supply drops to have a chance to spawn. Resetting CPs doesn't help there.

Oh wait you mean to control only one district as opposed to controlling the entire map/multiple districts?

[quick folio]

year 3 of asking why are my blacks crushed (no it isnt supposed to look like this, 2nd, refer to: https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/12viwtu/division_2_pitch_black_colors_plz_help/)

[oak gazelle]

same settings?

[quick folio]

Triee everything

Tried different monitor, different gpu, dx9/11 (or whatever version), hdr off, amchecked nvidia settings, brightness dont do shit, contrast dont do shit

Neutral lighting dont do shit

[oak gazelle]

I mean like with a restart of the game in between switching, because that also makes a difference.
I'd highly suggest doing a fresh user data folder, like renaming the old as a backup, before deleting it.

because also it saves shaders in there

[quick folio]

I removed shaders cache and all the caches on multiple kccasions

[oak gazelle]

rename that directory and let the game create a fresh folder
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\Tom Clancy's The Division 2
without changing any settings after and go to floor 100

[quick folio]

Ill try when i wake up

[oak gazelle]

ok

[wispy merlin]

for some reason the pact's blacks inside the hovercraft are even more crushed

[left ravine]

I started having random pitch black areas with the winter event and it never went away. Had to use Nvidia filters to make it bearable but it's still annoying

[rough trench]

🤔

[left ravine]

Lmao

[gray totem]

How do you make images like this?

[left ravine]

buildstation.app

You create a build on that site and you then have the option to share it, which results in an overview like that

[bright trail]

is damage to health or damage to armor better against warhounds

[left ravine]

DTH if you wanna make a specific build for them

[bright trail]

somehow my gr9 hurts them better than st elmo which is strange

[left ravine]

Your GR9 has most likely a damage talent on it while Elmo does not have that

But just a guess since I have no clue what your build is

[bright trail]

frenzy

[woven dew]

did they increase the damage for this event?

[left ravine]

HSD, yes

It's part of any Reanimated event

[bright trail]

striker build with both have similiar base damage, elmo has damage to health and gr9 damage to armot

[left ravine]

Frenzy does a huge amount of dmg

[rugged stratus]

its also a hug rof boost

[bright trail]

yeah gr9 with frenzy active is insane

[rugged stratus]

ofc its gonna be huge damage compared to elmo. its not an apples to apples comparison

@wispy merlin what mag you use on your frenzy gr9?

[wispy merlin]

reload speed

[rugged stratus]

i figured you might not use the +50, i went with rof so far

i joined the club late

[wispy merlin]

i want to reduce reload as much as possible, that's the strength the gr9 has compared to the usual frenzy choices

rate of fire is also a choice as well. and the mag size increase will actually make it worse. gr9's 200 rounds with 15% rate of fire will empty just in time for next frenzy so you wouldn't want to mess that up

[rugged stratus]

yeah, found that out organically. worked really well at 200

[wispy merlin]

i would caution against using the 5% rof mag on striker though, you might reload too fast

20% rof might be too much. it would be perfect on something like nego with salvo because that'd be at exactly 15%

[wispy merlin]

ermmm ackchually it's an amplifier towards heads, not headshot damage 🤓

[left ravine]

OK, ok 😄

[acoustic lark]

A couple days ago someone mentioned the devs were working on a fix for the true sons turrets in retaliation. I couldn't find any info that this is the case. Not on trello, not on x. Am i missing something?

[left ravine]

I was under the impression they're firing as intended now

They don't annihilate you anymore

[wispy merlin]

nope that's wrong xD

they're still bugged

[rough trench]

But they are fixed...

[rough trench]

Beeerzi said that on Plum's stream.

[left ravine]

Well it's better than before, I don't recall how they're used to be lol

[wispy merlin]

it's still bugged for me

my modifiers also aren't on so i'm not sure how to mitigate it

[left ravine]

The clip was made with modifiers enabled

[rough trench]

But the issue was never officially acknowledged.

[left ravine]

Honestly I don't care much about those turrets being bugged or not, I just want the markers to work as they always used to :I

[rough trench]

Yeah, turrets never bothered me much. But iKia also noticed that they're seem to be fixed.

[acoustic lark]

The turrets definitely aren't fixed. I play retaliations alot and just had true sons today.

[left ravine]

I don't understand how nobody is talking about this:
https://discord.com/channels/863058244934696961/1451172943760724060

[left ravine]

#ask-td2-community message
Looks pretty good to me tho

[rough trench]

I just played six True Sons Retals, and there were absolutely no issues for me or my teammates. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[acoustic lark]

If the issue was never officially acknowledged, how could they have fixed it

[rough trench]

There's a lot of stealth fixes with every update.

[proud oyster]

is there a way to refresh/reset the same bounty on ur own? does just leaving and coming back work?

[bright trail]

What markers?

[rough trench]

Things like these rarely end up on Trello or in the patch notes.

[left ravine]

Well as you can see in my clip I did not get insta melted and there was no A-10 Warthog sound that would imply them being broken

[left ravine]

Gear set markers on NPCs, talent markers on NPCs

[rough trench]

They know about the issue as it's been reported numerous times. And Beeerzi mentioning it means that they are aware.

[acoustic lark]

My hopes are it will fix itself once the season ends and the companion stuff is gone which seems to have caused this

[left ravine]

That's a speculation, it would make sense to me tho

[rough trench]

Yeah, it's caused by engineer companion most likely.

[acoustic lark]

Yes of course. Just trying to make some sense of it all

[left ravine]

Idk, dien just said it's also broken for him still. No clue

[rough trench]

I believe our companion turrets are the same as Elite TS' have.

[rough trench]

It might be just PGC. They hit very hard still.

[acoustic lark]

Maybe its only broken when u have an engineer companion with u but idk. Would explain why its broken for some and for some not anymore

[rough trench]

Yeah, I have modifiers turned off. But I believe dien also has them disabled.

[acoustic lark]

Strange

Trying true sons retaliations now to look more closely

[rough trench]

I literally just finished six or seven TS Retals in a row while using PGC. Turrets still hit hard, of course, but nothing like how bad it used to be.

[acoustic lark]

Sorry whats pgc

[left ravine]

Perfect Glass Cannon

[acoustic lark]

Ah okey thx

[left ravine]

The Sacrifice chest

[wispy merlin]

gonna test in the pact

[languid mason]

Is PGC even worth it? I don't like it because it has 0 survivability and it might just be my overall build but i don't exactly melt things fast enough for it to be worth it

[wispy merlin]

i mean there are ways to deal with it like good positioning etc. but yeah it's worth it

[rough trench]

I'm not sure if the named turret = elite turret tbh. I was talking about elite turrets specifically.

[left ravine]

They used to both shred you instantly

But I will try a regular elite turret to compare

Was just up against the boss there when this topic came up

[rough trench]

Gotcha.

[bright trail]

is it me or warhound drops are worse compared to first day

befire they officially activated, first couple hours were insane

[rough trench]

They've been active for more than two weeks already.

Warhounds started dropping event items with TU Y7S3.2.

[bright trail]

if you had the bounty though right? they were not spawning jefferson square

[rough trench]

Nah, the bounty has nothing to do with that.

They spawn in the OW every 60s.

[bright trail]

and they spawned before this week you say?

[rough trench]

Sorry, I understood you wrong. The warhounds used to be avilable only through the bounty, yeah.

But those were the very same warhounds, so nothing has changed.

It's all just RNG as usual.

[bright trail]

what i am saying is before the official start, there were couple hours where warhounds spawned but you could not get bloody houndsman bounty of them just loot. those couple hours i got stuff like hollowman mask, gila mask etc.. and some pother people as well once the bounties started i keep getting more regulat stuff. coincide maybe?

[rough trench]

Yeah, just a coincidence. I've gotten a bunch of DZ stuff over the past few days.

I managed to get me three Hollow Men from two bounties, I believe.

[bright trail]

i did the bounty just once lol

it was very difficult wuth my skill build

[rough trench]

If you get yourself another bounty you can just farm the first area and then reset it, without killling the Houndsman.

[bright trail]

i have like 10 just dont enjoy doing it

do ny cps also give same bps? or they a different set?

[rough trench]

It's RNG which blueprint you'll get, but the pool is the same as far as I know.

[left ravine]

@rough trench Regular elite turret

Looks normal to me as well?

[rough trench]

Absolutely.

[bright trail]

do we want damge to out of cover on regulus or something else

[wispy merlin]

yes, dttooc

but yeah i think pgc made it look like fixed turret was the same as regular turret 💀

[slow solar]

what decides how many toxic cylinders you get from each site? it seems totally random

[inner tendon]

Without checking, I'm going to assume that it's a mix of what difficulty you're on, and a touch of RNG for how many you get within each range.

grats on the 'Nimble though!

[quick folio]

so this didn work

[slow solar]

is there a way to bulk use these?

[swift nymph]

There is usually only one box hidden in a mission

[slow solar]

yeah and there are boxes in the open world but only a handful. and each one can only be opened once a day i think? idk how long they take to reset

[swift nymph]

Yeah 24 hours after you opened them

[slow solar]

rip. yeah it seems there randomly placed around the world. ive been opening this one each day. but i get more keys then i can use

[swift nymph]

I have the same "problem". I have almost 50 keys of each faction

[slow solar]

ooo two near the dz.

[quick folio]

does quickstep still drop from robodogs?

[slow solar]

tons of them yeah

i get one every two or 3 open world dogs.

[quick folio]

good good

on my 5th one, still none lol

[slow solar]

fair warning hunting the dogs gets extremely annoying extremely fast.

[swift nymph]

I got one or two from the dogs

[slow solar]

the bounty is bugged haha

[quick folio]

its fine im used to it, do i need a prerequesite of some sort, or just keep killing them

[slow solar]

just keep killing them. you can run the bounty over and over to get ~20-50 named items every time. since it spawns a ton of dogs and the huntsman. ive been doing it to get all my named stuff leveled up.

[quick folio]

wym i just relog and i always get the dog

[slow solar]

wtf lol they show up here too

[limber dove]

Wait why are we buddy buddy with Theo, did I miss a cutscene somewhere

[quick folio]

wanna do these bounties when i get quickstep?

[limber dove]

I thought I killed him

[swift nymph]

Suprise!

[inner tendon]

He didn't die, and we were so impressed by that we forgave his warcrimes.

That's how the Geneva Convention works. A sick move is better than a pardon.

[limber dove]

Why is there no buildup or even a reveal, the characters in Brooklyn are just talking about him like nothing ever happened 😭😭

[inner tendon]

Well there was something of a reveal, with a previous season showing him still alive.
Why we're just cool with it now is anyone's guess, but just go with it.

Hey it's less confusing than why the ||Illuminati ||showed up.

[limber dove]

Oh so it made more sense in the context of seasons that launched before the dlc

[inner tendon]

If you want to know more details about the whole situation, hop over to #division-universe, someoen will be happy to give you the skinny.

[limber dove]

But they just never made it make sense if you didn’t play those seasons or smth haha

[slow solar]

@quick folio first area had 6 dogs, 13 named items. 2 normal items.
4 more dogs and the hounsman in the second area. 9 named items. 1 unamed. got 3 quicksteps.

[quick folio]

wanna do it? i havent done the bounty yet

[vital gull]

Hey guys, finally got the part to start the Nemesis. Can I just do the other strongholds for the other parts?

Or do I have to wait till they go invaded

[slow solar]

sadly i cant. im in the middle of farming opti mats 🙁 and mods. after that i need to mass farm rifles haha

getting there.

i hate how expensive the drone and shield have gotten

like wtf???

[quick folio]

ayy got my first quickstep

[quick folio]

why would u invest in that

[slow solar]

my whole setup is using the drone to regen armor for the full party.

[quick folio]

you know refractor is in the game

[slow solar]

what this one?

[quick folio]

ye

[slow solar]

this is the setup im using from @snow cargo

[quick folio]

ah so u are running ref

[slow solar]

but not overdogs. using memento

[quick folio]

good good i got few builds as well

[slow solar]

def painful to upgrade it lol.

[quick folio]

dont invest in that

its waste of resources, specially after the mule changes

[slim elk]

don't waste mats on applying Gear Expertise

only weapons and even then you need a handful of them

[slow solar]

mule changes?

[slim elk]

If you already have the blueprint you can farm it like any other exotic in the loot pool
If Zoo is Invaded it gives a random exotic part once after completing

[slow solar]

these right? ive been getting them from daily thingos for a bit now!

[quick folio]

well i got oxid from the bounty..

[slim elk]

There was a TU a year ago or so that basically nerfed mules. Which were boosted characters that claimed all your Scavenging Points on mats and after that you could buy the Shared Materials blueprint between characters. Devs nerfed it for Scav Points to be Account Wide and not per Character

[slim elk]

The other ones, those that have names on them like "The Tally"

[slim elk]

Before the nerf was released, people took advantage of mules and reached hundreds of thousands of mats through Scav Points*

[slow solar]

oh i only play with the one char haha.

is this worth doing?

[slim elk]

It's still a good option to make three characters to get 4x Project Rewardsa nd Raid Chests & keys

[slim elk]

nah, Exotic gear have fixed attributes on all three slots

[formal lichen]

Reconfigure exotics can give you higher stats on the exotic you reconfigured

[slow solar]

they can be worse right too?

[slim elk]

yeah, that's why it's not worth it

[formal lichen]

They can be. It’s a toss up.

Like most things in this game, it’s all down to RNG

[quick folio]

how do i get the rest of the houndsman outfit?

i got mask/gloves/backpack

[formal lichen]

You have to buy the non bloody version from the store, the bloody houndsman is available from the special global event reward track

[quick folio]

i did buy it, buit not everything

i only bought backpack/fit/gloves, no mask

[formal lichen]

The bundle or just individual parts?

[quick folio]

individual

[formal lichen]

You should have the outfit, it’s in the outfit section. There’s a specific area for full body outfits like the houndsman

[quick folio]

`

[formal lichen]

That’s the fit

[quick folio]

not the bloody one tho

[formal lichen]

The bloody one is from the rewards track

[quick folio]

faaaaaah

[formal lichen]

Of the global event
