[quick folio]

idk where he is

found him

[wispy shuttle]

I just finished the mission on master and it said I got the sheriff but it’s not in my inventory or stash

I finished it about a minute before the server restart

[quick folio]

hwo to build water pressure>?>

dfq is this boss, i cooled him down

[main valve]

question - In the Stretch Goals, how much XP is needed to reach the next level. I'm struggling to find out how much XP is needed per level

[nocturne siren]

1000 per level I think

[inner tendon]

@main valve Just so you know, it's Season XP, not SHD, so gaining SHD levels won't really help you there.

[main valve]

Yeh im aware, ty tho. Looking for the best place to farm the season XP without it being mind numbingly boring

[inner tendon]

Priority strongholds are excellent for them, once you've run out of Manhunt/Journey stuff of course.

[main valve]

Yeh ive ran out on both the manhunt and Journey - reaching level 193

[inner tendon]

Sounds like you're up to the Priority Strongholds them. (season page, it's hard to miss in the menu)
the listed reward doesn't matter, just the difficulty you pick.

[main valve]

Much appreciated

[quick folio]

is caretaker any good?

[willow hound]

Hey guys, I have a question. To get the climax mission, do I first have to complete the manager master's level?

[bright trail]

I did 2 black tusk bounties and got 2 chameleon's from the targets. How is thatcpossible?

[nimble spruce]

Rng. Also chameleons have extra chance of dropping from bounties specifically.

[bright trail]

Do we see those probabilities anywhere?

[feral bronze]

40mins shooting master boss and no water cannons working lol he immune fix this game pls devs

[worldly fjord]

No dont think that's required. Just the 3 HVT scouts

[steep void]

wipe and next time fire water faster as soon as green signal shows

[hot canyon]

You can over stack. Just not the old way where you got all your SHD level points again. If you have a good amount of SHD level points you can do it. You need to boost a new guy to level 40 Brooklyn run the 10min intro than go to DC. Once there you can do the watch with your existing points and add whatever you want material wise up to the 999 max. Once done buy the share materials Blueprint and your materials account across guys will be over the 999 buy whatever you were able to add point wise. Do it as much as you want until you run out of points. Only way to add more points is playing and getting them per level.

[limber dove]

If I need to liberate a control point for manhunt but I already own it, do I have to wait for it to be taken by the enemy

Or is there a way to force allies out

[left ravine]

You could reset all your CPs

[limber dove]

Oh cool I was hoping there was a button like that somewhere, thanks I couldn’t find it

[gilded berry]

So I just got nemesis from stretch goals.

If I get the other parts (from invaded strongholds) and have friend in my group when I actually get it. Can I drop it for him or not?

[spare girder]

Is the Bloody Houndsman outfit worth grinding the Reanimated event?

[rugged stratus]

yeah, especially since theyll offer it later for premium... free is always better. it doesnt take that long, just run your daily/weekly stuff on your alts with event on

[nimble spruce]

It's in the global difficulty options from the main map

[limber dove]

yep yep, i always forget thats a menu, INF's message reminded me

[limber dove]

Chat which areas are best to clear for spawning hostage rescues

[nimble spruce]

Federal triangle is fastest. I also see them in downtown east and in judiciary square quite often

[limber dove]

Bet

[steel loom]

what is a "rescue operation activity"?

[oak gazelle]

Hostage rescue, green handcuff icon.

[steel loom]

ahha... ok thanks

boy oh boy, they phrase that differently 2 different times... why does everything have to be a stupid riddle

[oak gazelle]

haha, don't ask me

[limpid sequoia]

there has got to be a better way to open all these spare apparel caches 😭

[bright trail]

1st world problem

[inner tendon]

@limpid sequoia Put a podcast on, and just get through enough to earn 15k in textiles for the Stretch Goals.
You got this, Agent

[limpid sequoia]

absurd that they don't just allow you to open all of them at once, maybe that would break the game lol

[inner tendon]

MSV have told us that each cache's contents are rolled fresh when you open them, same as Field Proficiency Caches. So.....you can imagine how opening a few thousand at once would go, per player.

They are working on fixing it though.

[bright trail]

those 71 apparels? are they same since the beginning?

you get one every 2 levels right? just sopen as you level up

[inner tendon]

Once you get into the few k's of SHD levels, you will have more than 71.

The visuals stop telling you how many you have at anything over 99.

[bright trail]

not the chest. total unique items in the chests

they must be 71 or 72 sth like that

if it is a repeat you get textile credit

[inner tendon]

yep, the idea with opening more later is the textiles.
you can buy stretch goal levels with this event using textiles, up to a max of 15, 000 spent.

[bright trail]

i have like 1000 credits 🙂

[inner tendon]

credits are the premium currency, textiles are something else.

you can also spend 450 textiles twice a week with Danny Weaver, to open a special cache that gives you a dye from a former Season Pass.

[bright trail]

i did that couple times

i should have held on to those textiles

[inner tendon]

Level up more, you'll get excess.

I can't recall if there's a way to see the total number of apparel caches that each Agent has, but I can imagine it's quite a lot.

[bright trail]

question : i have the blueprinit for catalyst mask (not sure where i got it but probably retals) but i dont have the mask itself. i know that mask comes from the army terminal mission, i did it but did not get the mask. question is now that u have bp, is it possible it drops from other sources or comes from chests as part of exotic pool?

[rough trench]

The Catalyst mask doesn't have a blueprint.

[bright trail]

ok hold on

ah i got catharsis

[rough trench]

Yes.

[bright trail]

they are not same lol

[rough trench]

Absolutely not.

[forest otter]

Hello, does anyone know the drop rate of the Sheriff on Story Difficulty?

[inner tendon]

@forest otter There is no Story Difficulty, if you mean normal: it's really, really low.

[forest otter]

How low?

[rough trench]

1%.

It's always 1%, 3%, 5%, 7% and 10%.

[bright trail]

Some guy got it in normal posted to reddit

[rough trench]

Not story but Normal I mean… as there's no Story. I just replied to the wrong message smh.

[forest otter]

Thank you all!

[rough trench]

Just get it on Master as it's guaranteed for the FTC.

[bright trail]

He was playing in normal to see how the valves etc work at the end and gor it

[versed harbor]

What's the best way to get lexington right now, stretch goals?

[inner tendon]

@versed harbor Best and only!

[versed harbor]

And eagle bearer is dz landmarks/dz drops and bighorn floor 10 summit legendary?

[nocturne siren]

eagle bearer is a dark hours exclusive, but was changed to allow it to drop in dz's with a .025% drop chance

you can also obtain it from the stretch goals, as showcased here by my screenshot from last night (steam deck with a phone camera, accept it for what it is)

[versed harbor]

Yea I know it's a raid drop, but I can never get groups together so I've just been farming dz. Trying to put together a better pvp build cause I'm so fed up with the griefers that down me in 2 seconds lol

[nocturne siren]

GCRock discord lfg's would do you way more justice than hoping for a strike of lightning

ive gotten EB to drop in dz. only took me 3 years to get it to drop

[versed harbor]

Can't count on stretch goals either apparently as they seem to love only giving me caretakers and equalizers.

[calm willow]

What’s the best way to farm seasonal xp ?

[slim elk]

strongholds prio obj

[versed harbor]

5 equalizers, 10 bittersweets, and 4 caretakers from stretch goals. Safe to say my rng is a problem.

[inner tendon]

@calm willow What Doomz said, but don't forget about the Journey/Manhunt activity, those award a ton.
and having the Seasonal Modifiers turned on give you an extra 10%.

[knotty field]

Does anybody know how to fix the DZ season pass xp loss??? I lost 6 levels for stretch goals after dying once and now I can’t claim caches

[oak gazelle]

don't play the DZ or die there
you need to level back up to be able to claim them again

[knotty field]

Well thanks for the obvious, although seeing as im finding info on how this is an old occurrence and still not fixed seems to hardly be my fault that this isnt announced or mentioned prior. Hopefully it does fix when i relevel, thanks for the help.

[bright trail]

do i need friendly territory for hostage rescue missions ot pop up

[inner tendon]

@bright trail If it's a green activity (handcuffs/shooting range/supply drop) then you need to control a large area surrounding the zone where you want it to spawn.
Red activities are the exact opposite.
GL Agent

[gleaming wigeon]

Does the Ruin mask drop on any difficulty if you kill the secret boss? 🤔

[inner tendon]

@torn heart You're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[oak gazelle]

yea, it's been here since the last few stretch goals, can't give you more than that
more people need to report that stuff via the official channels, so it becomes a priority or a pressing issue, but I guess because it is a limited time period (2 weeks) and only happens in the DZ, just a small portion of players are affected by it

[inner tendon]

@gleaming wigeon I've only ever heard folks mentioning it spawning on Master Difficulty, that doesn't 100% mean it can't, but I'd be kinda shocked if it could spawn on say, Normal.

[oak gazelle]

the hunter spawns only on master

[gleaming wigeon]

Hmm, Ok thanks again 👍

[limpid sequoia]

for the stage 5 gunner reward i need to get 20 mounted kills on roosevelt island, how do i go about doing that

[inner tendon]

The final area has 2 mounted guns, won't take you long.

[limpid sequoia]

ah cool

i'm looking for that gunner helmet you showed me lol hence why i'm asking
i already have gunner all specced out too lol

[limpid sequoia]

@inner tendon just finished it i got the gunner uniform but what about the helm? i don't see it

[inner tendon]

It should be a reward as part of those steps, did you do all 5 steps?

[limpid sequoia]

and i have the year 1 bundle which i assume is the premium edition

[inner tendon]

Yeah the year 1 bundle should include it.

[limpid sequoia]

which category is it in?

[inner tendon]

Gimme a sec to load in, I haven't done those since 2019.

[limpid sequoia]

weirdly the hunter masks especially the recruiter and houndsman fits super well with the get up i have so

[inner tendon]

neat!
Okay so apparently you get the Mask by finishing the tree to max level first, which I honestly don't remember but worth a try!

Stinger Hunter might be your speed, since it matches the colours.

[limpid sequoia]

i have it maxed out though

[inner tendon]

Try restarting, most bugs in div can be solved via that.

Hyena Redeemed Headgear also works, since it's that colour, and kinda bulky.

[limpid sequoia]

i have it but the balaclava from recruiter makes it fit better i think

what is it called in game?

the helmet specifically, i know where the ballistic mask is

[inner tendon]

that's the "care less", but there's other similar options. Even the swat stuff isn't half bad.

there's even a grey tier "ballistic helmet -dark grey" that is alright on a budget

div agents are very "whatever they can find" in the canon, so have some fun with the outfit.

[slow solar]

does this have a named version?

[muted lance]

I'm looking for this quest world does anyone have it available?

[lethal nimbus]

Where would we post game changes ideas in hopes a community go between get it to them

[slim elk]

kinetic momentum? don't think so

[slow solar]

no the chest!

wtf 3 of them?

[slim elk]

nah

[slim elk]

believers wet dream of PEs as best xp farm:

[slow solar]

mhmmmm. whats that big thing in the sky invading my bounty 😆

[silent citrus]

So.... I encountered a Bug, where I was doing the Pentagon missions, and I went to the visitor centor, I opened the gate, I saw that I had some comms I havent picked up and when I came back the gate is closed and ther eis no way to open it, any advice?

[real python]

On Xbox would anyone be interested in opening there crates and gifting me the Lexington im on level 35 and still haven’t got one yet

[slow solar]

wait i shouldnt be voiding these?

[lethal nimbus]

Lexington btw

[real python]

😔

[slim elk]

you should be adding your weapons and gear to Favorites so that you don't deconstruct them accidentally

R > Space

[slow solar]

oh im intentionally deconstructing stuff i dont see my self ever using

[proud oyster]

im considering making 3 other agents but only have the lv30 skip, quickest way to sprint lvls 30-40? was wondering if i could just jump into a buddy's heroic 4 directives game while they blow up control points

[quick orchid]

A im sorry I know, this has been asked a ton and I prob read it 100x LOl but im a little baked now... hahah is reconfig bugged or am i missing somthing 🧐 🤣

[slow solar]

relog. the items bugging out. happens from time to time

[quick orchid]

^ but I got it today LOL

[slow solar]

i mean as in the item is bugging out and not in the crafting tablet at the moment. relog usually fixes that.

had it a few times with my gear lately

[quick orchid]

Green is what we got so i got 10 e-comp and waht not, yeah i know its not doing proper dmg I jsut wanna make it purddy

[rough trench]

You need to have a pistol called Mosquito on this character or in your stash.

Otherwise, it won't let you reconfigure the Sheriff. Don't ask why.

[quick orchid]

........................................

[quick orchid]

you are pulling my freaking leg dog!?!?!?!

🤣

if your for real no.. becasue

[wide jolt]

You dont have the Mozzy ?

[rough trench]

If you put Mosquito in your Stash, you'll be able to reconfigure the Sheriff on any of your characters.
If you put Mosquito in your inventory, you'll be able to reconfigure the Sheriff only on that particular character.

[quick orchid]

na I have the blue print I needed the comps, I will never use it or did I forsee needing one for this !!!!

yall gotta be messing with me HAHAHAHAHHA

[rough trench]

No.

#td2-general-chat message

[quick orchid]

I trust you man Im jsut at awe LOL

[rough trench]

Ain't we all?

[quick orchid]

100% yes..?

this has me cracking up frfr

I needed the room in my locker, needed the comp for lvling something to 30, Taught to my self I am not gonna use this crap I got the blue print if for some reason it becomes god like I can craft it..... well here I am 🤣 foot butt

[bright trail]

which weapon is this?

[slim elk]

Vector

[bright trail]

can be dark winter?

[slim elk]

no

Dark Winter has Perfect Killer, that one has Fast Hands

[bright trail]

correct and we dont know 9 or 45 ?

[slim elk]

45 acp IIRC

[quick orchid]

the vector 45 (edit i didnt see it had a not killer talant in the photo)

as DOD once said its the best ar thats not a ar. iirc this was pre lex @bright trail . and as you can see i put the 9mm one in there so you can tell the diff, the 9mm one also comes with out a but stock but the mag is silly small the 9mm is always solid black

Do CP's you can get the blue print. and you can get the named one from doing retails

[bright trail]

in this build this is used as a second weapon to capacitor (umbra capacitor pvp build)

only i can open 4 unburnable gloved out of 4 stretch goal caches

give me a backpack at least

[bright trail]

i want 3rd atrribute damage to out of cover right

look like i i have the bp somehow

[inner tendon]

@bright trail As a general rule, you want "dtooc" (damage to target out of cover) on every gun.
LMG's already have it, so for those crit chance (CHC) is best overall.

[quick orchid]

yes

[rugged stratus]

you know what really grinds my gears.... getting an exotic component cache instead of just getting an exotic cache... at least make it a few components in the damn thing

[inner tendon]

I like to think it's just the ninjaknees and the game is like "we both know what's gonna happen, lemme save you some time here".

[rough trench]

At least you have caches, unlike me yesterday. 🤣

[rugged stratus]

right, first world problems

visual bug?

[rough trench]

Nah, it was pre-delta thingy.

[sterile otter]

What’s the fastest way to level stretch goals? Trying to get my first Lexington

[slim elk]

stronghold prio obj and Journey & Scouts

[sterile otter]

Ty

[inner tendon]

^the reward of the priority objective: stronghold doesn't matter, just the difficulty you play it on.

[gleaming wigeon]

Hopefully it's not a unicorn but I've been trying to farm/craft a Lengmo double crit Backbone for a while now with no luck, Am I wasting my time and resources? 🤔

[slim elk]

it is a unicorn

lengmo is a blue brand which makes double crits very hard to drop/get

[heady crow]

What’s the best exotic LMG right now?

[slim elk]

Iron Lung muh baby

also, what build you using?

[heady crow]

Some random build I found that uses memento and bullet king

Ain’t great but it gets the job done

Helped me with killing all DC hunters

[slim elk]

mind sharing a ss?

[heady crow]

Alrighty hold up

[rough trench]

Iron Lung for sure, but Pesti is also good if we don't take its long-ass reload into account.

[slim elk]

lmao yeah 😆

[heady crow]

It ain’t perfection but it definitely helps me

You wanna see the stats then ask away

[slim elk]

I assume crits right away

[heady crow]

I recently started D2 like maybe a few weeks ago

Got bored with breakpoint so I just searched for other tom Clancy games on Xbox

[slim elk]

it's not that bad, but Memento is a run&gun exotic which imo doesnt synergize well with TS, let me show u something that you will definitely love

[heady crow]

Please do

[slim elk]

shotgun in there is just a placeholder lol

[heady crow]

This is very detailed compared to those damn builds on YouTube

[slim elk]

oh dude, stay away from division yt like really

[heady crow]

Oh word?

[slim elk]

its filled with clickbait, 15 minute yapping and ytbers dont go in depth bc they suck or dont know shit
there are some exceptions like iKia and a few others

[heady crow]

Damn

[slim elk]

there's a Spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice which has a Build Hub with up to date tested builds

that one I shared is just a quick guide, details are in the guides made by the community's goats 🐐

[heady crow]

Well this is going to help me once I get set with the game

I appreciate the information by the way

[slim elk]

hell yeah, welcome to the gang btw

bru 😆

do we share the same braincell by any chance?

[heady crow]

As if I have any

[slim elk]

also, dont be afraid to ask even if you get harsh anwers you will most likely get actually useful advice from anyone, especially from MrChow, he may sound rude but he is pretty straight-forward with his replies

[heady crow]

Can’t be as bad as showing a build in a Destiny 2 server at its current year

[slim elk]

if anyone says Ninjabike bag is good in all seriousness insta ignore them
golden rule

[heady crow]

Oh yeah that backpack, I kept seeing the name everywhere on YouTube

I do have it but I prefer memento for its talent and also the hunter drip

[slim elk]

finally someone with common sense

it's a newbie trap basically

[heady crow]

Yikes

Well thankfully grinding for builds in this game isn’t as horrible as it is in Destiny 2

[slim elk]

well... about that...

there's stuff you don't get to know yet lmao
enjoy the game is all I'm gonna say

[heady crow]

As long as I don’t have to spend over 100 bucks for content, I’ll suffer gladly later on

[slim elk]

oh nah, p2w doesnt exist here. You only get to spend money if you want cosmetics

[heady crow]

I might consider buying the fang Helment to be honest

Like the Helment is rad and I could use the credits to get a bundle

[spare girder]

Do we get Anderson's Jacket thru the climax or the stretch goals?

[inner tendon]

I believe it's from the mission, the rest of the outfit being from the Stretch Goals.

[heady crow]

I can see why iron lung was picked

God damn it’s good

[worldly fjord]

why does sheriff not have any attachments :/

[inner tendon]

It just doesn't think of you that way.

[worldly fjord]

😞😢

[magic charm]

y'all how to deal with the event fart cloud destroying objectives?

[worldly fjord]

Either turn it off or land body shots

[warm salmon]

Does the legendary summit farm still work?

[nocturne siren]

Quickly sniff it up so it doesn't damage anything

[nocturne siren]

Yes

[warm salmon]

I must be doing something wrong, I kill the boss, die, then kill it again but nothing drops

[nocturne siren]

You have to open your map up and go back to lobby after every boss kill

You can't just die, respawn at the floor, and kill the boss again. Going back to lobby forces it to reset

So, it's:

Enter boss floor > kill boss(es)> snag the loot > open map > back to lobby

Wash rinse repeat

[warm salmon]

I see thanks

[tender aspen]

@bronze berry idk if i should ping you but please delete this

yay it's gone!!!

[mild bane]

Hello pro gamers, according to our AI overlord, Coco is total damage source, is this true?

[tender aspen]

@mild bane look at the damn spreadsheet, not the AI!!

[mild bane]

Alright, it's all weapon damage.

Sad.

[tender aspen]

it's still a pretty big bonus once you get it going tho

[frozen solar]

This is my first time doing stretch goals, whats the fastest way to level them up?
Also are stretch goal rewardsw infinite for the whole 2 weeks or is there a cap?

[tender aspen]

yeah it's infinite and go for priority tasks for strongholds

do the scout missions if you havent done them yet

good luck, agent!!

[ebon siren]

Yo. Just got back into the game outta curiosity. Played mostly on PS4 so had to rerun stuff on PC but still waaaay behind on content like raids, incursion, Battle for Brooklyn and manhunts. Anyways, saw something about special masks from the manhunt. Some people say they only unlock on master but other say they got there’s on challenging? I don’t play with anyone so challenging would be ideal, but I wanted to know if that was true or not.

[frozen solar]

Done the scout mission up until the most recent ones so Im doing those now

Thanks

[bright trail]

Mask is master the shotgun can drop in any

When does the double xp start?

[ebon siren]

Oof. Thanks 😪

[limber dove]

Do not the ai

[magic charm]

does equipping 2 of the same weapon double the passive proficiency progress gain?

[nimble spruce]

Not double (unless you're maining your sidearm) as the getting kills with a weapon gives faster proficiency than having it equipped but unused. It would increase it though.

[bright trail]

how do i activate spearhead abilitynduring combat?

[tepid sierra]

I hit UP on the D-Pad

[bright trail]

and it says do crossfire kills? looks l already did some but dont know how ,lol

[mellow trout]

Read the modifiers, it explains each kill

[bright trail]

thanks for this detaild explanation

[tepid sierra]

you forgot to add all the steps you took to get there, you need to show your work too

[full granite]

what

[bright trail]

sarcasm. he is implying i need you to tell me how to find that info

[pulsar sparrow]

How do i unlock the climax mission in my alt character?

[stray cobalt]

Sup guys. How do I know that I have an item that is modded and can't be tinkered?

[pulsar sparrow]

Look for icons on the stats that are already reconficured or optimized

[stray cobalt]

@pulsar sparrow thank you! and when it is a new looted item? How do I know if one of the stats is from a gear mod?

[limber dove]

I think you need someone to taxi you

It’s bugged rn

[pulsar sparrow]

Refer to this pic. The small orange squares below the weapon indicate a mod is installed. To the right, you can see the optimized icon is a circle (Damage to target out of cover) and the reconfigured icon is the tools in the shape of an X (Damage to Armor)

[stray cobalt]

@pulsar sparrow thank you so much! Can I also see on a backpack if a mod is installed directly or do I need to check somehow else?

[limber dove]

The 3rd small icon will be colored instead of gray

[stray cobalt]

THank you guys

[pine magnet]

You can't. I solved it by having a player from my Clam take me on a mission. Once you've completed the mission on heroic, you can then find the mission on the map.

[bright trail]

would elite resource convoy spawn more in heroic difficulty?

[left ravine]

Totally random

I caught one on challenging yesterday when catching up on the scouts

(I was alternating between heroic and challenging, waiting five minutes each time)

[restive hill]

we ever figure out how to get the ruin mask properly or do we need reanimated to drop gunnar?

[rough trench]

No, there's a proper way of doing it no one has yet discovered. But we're might be onto something.

[restive hill]

alrighty, currently trying to get it so, if you need a body hmu.

[bright trail]

i even got a aerieal recon but no elite convoy sofar

[restive hill]

elite convoys spawn from strongholds, (at least for me) it'll take you a bit, as I missed my first one and I had to wait a while for a second one to show up

[bright trail]

nice me controlling crash site probably dont help

[left ravine]

Not always, mine was between CPs yesterday.

[restive hill]

that I did get once

[rough trench]

Anyway the boss is immune to direct damage and he is also neutral to the player, so the only thing that could possibly kill him is the Avenger.

[left ravine]

I don't usually pay attention but since I was on the hunt for one yesterday it and caught my eye

[restive hill]

not sure how some people penetrated the glass, bullet proof for me.

[bright trail]

i got the bloodhound outift without paying attention at all, nice !!!

[tepid sierra]

turmoil kneepads

[fathom agate]

I'm attempting to do the method as we speak

I've had some hits on the boss (by my self so I haven't had the chance to stare at him running off) so was unsure if I killed him.

When I ran around and checked he was infact up there dead.

But I still some how didn't get the hunter to respawn, attempting to do it again now.

[restive hill]

oooh I read the talent, I see...thank you.

[nocturne siren]

So let's say I only cared about getting the ruin mask... Would i just play the manhunt mission to the point I make it to the hunter?

I genuinely don't care to complete the new manhunt mission bc Sher is useless to me

[bright trail]

yes

[left ravine]

I'm down to play if you need another player

[nocturne siren]

Will have to be a tomorrow thing because I don't have the mental patience for master rn lol

[left ravine]

No problem, just hit me up 👍

[tepid sierra]

I held off my Manhunt for the Stretch Goals, (an then they go and add Textiles for 50 levels), and got the entire hunt done in 2 days of playing, -maybe 6 hours of dedicated play, lots of 420 breaks-, most was just waiting for stuff to spawn. but yeah if you just want to get to the Mission/End fight- HVT's are all you need to do

[delicate tartan]

I cant sell, deconstruct or more stack broker why?

I have to stack broker i cant delete them. I do get probably more. Why cant i sell, deconstruct them

[rough trench]

Because it's designed this way.

[delicate tartan]

I have the anniversary one, but received 2 stack brokers from stretch goals

[rough trench]

It's half-weightless, tho. You can just put it in your stash and it won't take up any space.

Or just open caches while having your inventory full next time, so everything drop to the ground.

[pseudo tundra]

Just like stacks, you just keep building them

[delicate tartan]

So if i get more then one i have to keep it. I want to deconstruct it. Dont want stack broker. I have 3 now

[tepid sierra]

and see how the number DONT change as you put them in the stash...

[slim elk]

You can't deconstruct it. You can stash it and it doesn't take space like dognutzz said. Please read.

[delicate tartan]

Ok

I have to stack them 😜

Eh i have 10 weapons included 2 stackbroker i cant deconstruct, sell....so

[tepid sierra]

and NONE of them TAKE UP SPACE

except in your own head

[delicate tartan]

But if it says 10 and i had 8 before?

[tepid sierra]

you have 3 players telling you this but you keep questioning it

[delicate tartan]

Yes cause 8 weapons before and now 10 so it counts of a total of 400 stash space

I have read a bit facebook, + coments. People complain that stack broker shotgun canot be deconstructet, sell and it takes a bit of space. Just so you know. I have homepage. Well i dont use stash so much so i can have 400 stack broker shotguns np.

[tough aspen]

I've only started gearing up. I have an idea of what gear I want and how to get them. Is the general approach, keeping gear that was at least 2 of the stats I want since we can only change one stat line?

So if I want weapon damage, CHC and CHD on a piece. I just need to keep the gear with at least two of those and deconstruct the rest?

[half karma]

what's meant to be the fast method of farming named cleaners if you don't have any DLC packs? I've got both but just curious about how F2P is meant to do it

[pseudo tundra]

I guess doing one of coney island missions

[half karma]

true, guess i could do those since they're apart of the weekly

[limber dove]

Gear pieces roll with specific cores and random attributes

EG a wyvern piece will always roll with a yellow core, but 2 random stats

So for everything but chest and backpack, you only need 1 of your 2 minor attributes to be chc or chd to

For chest and backpack, you either want chc and chd for your minor attributes so you can recalibrate the talent freely, or a talent you want and one of either chc or chd

However if you want a gear piece that doesn’t drop with a red core naturally, you need both chc and chd as your minor attributes so you can recalibrate your core to red

[tough aspen]

I see. Is there a list that details which gear sets have fixed cores?

[bright trail]

all pieces have fixed cores but some of them depends on what it is , for example refactor chest is always yellow and glove is always blue

[half karma]

do you guys have any tips for doing hostage missions with reanimated on? besides just not shooting heads and disabling the event?

[limber dove]

Wait for enemies to run away from the hostages I guess

[bright trail]

tough because hostages will run to danger intentionallt

[half karma]

yeah

[limber dove]

Yeah on the spreadsheet

[half karma]

it's a bit lame they haven't changed that tbh

[limber dove]

@tough aspen the spreadsheet is pinned in #td2-build-advice

[bright trail]

by the way hostage missions are fine, public executions are the issue

[half karma]

yeah that's the one i meant, soz

[tough aspen]

thank you so much

[nocturne siren]

I got you 💯

[sharp nova]

Can anyone unlock the climax for me? My alt did the bounty so my main doesn't have the mission on the map. I just need an invite on any difficulty, please

[left ravine]

Try #lfg-pc

[sharp nova]

I need it on PS, sorry forgot to mention. Posted on lfg-playstarion and here a few times, guess I'll just wait for them to fix it

[half karma]

does anyone have a fun Reanimated build to use? I normally use headhunter / hotshot but wondering if there's anything else out there.

i was thinking something rifle based with Turmoil could be kinda fun?

[left ravine]

Turmoil only really good with HH

Or solo is fine too

[half karma]

yeah, was wondering if there's anything that's there to mix it up but HH just seems to be the bread and butter

[left ravine]

OD Tinkerer w/ rifles is nice too

CoCo with rifle/s hits hard too

[half karma]

what the heck is coco hahah

[left ravine]

Concentrated Company gear set

[half karma]

ooh new set

[left ravine]

Pretty underrated on average

[half karma]

might have to farm a few pieces while it's in east mall by the looks of it

[left ravine]

Countdown, ez

[delicate tartan]

So the 2 weapon skins are kelso dream and... idont have kelso so...

[left ravine]

Wat

[desert thunder]

Anyone know why they cranked up the time that you can abandon objective

[delicate tartan]

Stretch goals weapon skins?

[proud oyster]

do variants of missions like manhunt roosevelt island count for priority objectives of the same stronghold?

[left ravine]

It should

[delicate tartan]

Does someone know the weapons skins it says only 2 - stretch goals rewards?

[bright trail]

got the elite patrol, game on!

i mean supply convoy

[left ravine]

Bro, you're posting that in every channel now? If someone is willing to they will come forward, give it some time 😄

[rugged stratus]

And keep it to the appropriate #lfg-xbox .
Its gonna goto warning after that

[real python]

Just wanted to get the word out I’m sorry I didn’t mean to upset you or anythin

[rugged stratus]

Self censor your multiple posts so I dont need to make a thing. 1 in the lfg is fine

[rugged stratus]

Self censor means deleting the posts that are in the wrong channels

[inner tendon]

Well, they got some of them at least. Sorta.

[rugged stratus]

Will see

[bright trail]

am i reading this correctly? when you play with global modifiers elites get 40 percent resistanc and 25 percent damage plus other enemoe geet damage resistance and my passove modifiers are not working unilt i kill jammer

[pseudo tundra]

Some enemies get different buffs

Not all enemies and not all modifiers at the same time

[bright trail]

yes but companian is clearly a disadvantage then

other than completing journeys what is the advantage?

[pseudo tundra]

All seasons had hostiles getting buffs

Its up to you if the seasonal buff is worth or not

[bright trail]

ah ok, this is my first season

another question: it says i need to complete journeys to get passive modifiers but journye 4 says, equip 3 passice modifiers.

[nocturne siren]

Rage quit the new manhunt mission at the water cannon part. Does anyone have a video showing what the hell to do? Bc I keep failing

I don't play Iron Horse because I find the mechanics extremely annoying

[inner tendon]

@nocturne siren When he goes harder to kill, spray him with the fire-hose that has a green light near it.
otherwise: shoot him until he falls over.

if you miss the fire-hose, can take a minute to get another one. Best to not miss it.

if you're asking about just before that, spray the 2 bits of floor.

[nocturne siren]

I did and still end up failing

[pseudo tundra]

He gets like some crazy damage resistance

[nocturne siren]

I gave up

[pseudo tundra]

Supposedly continuos spray

Not just shot it once

Keep shotting until itnstops

[nocturne siren]

No like I did spray the entire floor continuously and still failed

[inner tendon]

the bit just before with the floor is what fails most groups.
remember: 2 sections of floor, not just 1

[pseudo tundra]

Man i dont work to type things at 3 am

[nocturne siren]

So it's like 🤷

I'll try it again tomorrow. I sat for over an hour trying to figure it out

[inner tendon]

spray where the liquid fire stuff is coming out of, it creates a steam could when it works

if all else fails, someone down in #lfg-pc can give you a hand. I just used matchmaking and got it all done in one go.

[nocturne siren]

I'm only after the mask really. Couldn't even finish it on normal due to how annoying this was

I'll probably ask somebody in lfg to host it on master and they leave so I can kill the hunter and be done with it finally 💀

The mechanics in this mission imo are the most annoying I've ever had to play. Especially the electrical box part

[inner tendon]

oh the mask is well before that bit

[nocturne siren]

Sadly need to have Master just to fight the hunter

[inner tendon]

the mask replaces the reactor bit, with the chain that takes you to the 2nd level

[nocturne siren]

I don't have that yet and was trying to unlock it tonight on my deck so I can speedrun tomorrow to get the mask. Rage quit 😭😂

[inner tendon]

join a group, ask to do the Mask. If they say no, just join another group.
have Reanimated Active, tonnnnnns of groups running it right now.

[nocturne siren]

Could I matchmake it for master?

Even tho it's obviously not an option

[inner tendon]

Sure, but you will need to have it unlocked first, of course

that's how i got my Mask run done

[nocturne siren]

Oh

Can't I just find someone who does and have em start the mission lmao

Like the previous ones where you start it and invite them in

[pseudo tundra]

Game will kick you out or block him from starting I think

[nocturne siren]

Wack af

I'll do it tomorrow when I don't feel like hiking my deck off a cliff

I do appreciate the help 🙏

[rough trench]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFOKAJJmnZc

And also that reddit guide I sent you.

[nocturne siren]

Okay so I was shooting the wrong section of the floor. It's the BACK half. Not the damn front

🤦

This is why I don't Iron Horse

I'm not spending an hour going back thru it on normal that's a tomorrow thing. Thank you 🙏

[rough trench]

Ask Dien to carry you. 😉

[nocturne siren]

I'd just ask him to bring me to the hunter so he can be killed and I can let the mission rest in peace

[rough trench]

lol
I can carry you as well tomorrow if I have time.

[nocturne siren]

I'll give it a run solo on normal now that I know what I know. And well, will have an actual PC to render things properly as opposed to trying to play a map that holds 7 year old bugs and a steam deck with dumped down graphics for power saving purposes

[karmic shuttle]

so chat is full disabled ?

unless u verify ur age, why. its a 17+ game

ye i get laws in uk, but shit

[left ravine]

No, only certain things

[karmic shuttle]

last month i couldnt go a minute without chat having 15 asian people talking

now nothin, i see nothin

[left ravine]

Oh you mean the VC in this discord? Been gone for a while

[karmic shuttle]

nope

[left ravine]

The community Division discord has VCs

[karmic shuttle]

ingame global

[left ravine]

Ah. Idk I don't use public VC ingame

[karmic shuttle]

not vc

regular chat

cant even ask if anyones doin climax and its hunter cuz of it

[left ravine]

I also muted all public chats because there are no filters and it is not moderated

[bright trail]

i thought sweet dreams would one shot non elite enemies with melee attack, it does tno work with reanimated event

[left ravine]

Maybe only one bash counts

[bright trail]

i used it previous event successfully

[left ravine]

IDK, I have not used that shotgun since '23 or so

[pseudo tundra]

It works

[bright trail]

not for me. i have been trying with the 3 dude in grand wshingon hotel in normal and cant kill even 1

maybe because i was with companion

[slow solar]

@nocturne siren WTF 3 of them at the same time? damn near had a stroke over it.

[steep void]

Its gonna be hard for uk people to play with randoms without chat

[inner tendon]

@slow solar NPC Rogue Agents attacking you are based on group size+1, so you'll always be as a disadvantage, of sorts.

[karmic shuttle]

id just rather not play

[inner tendon]

I mean, most folks just salute emote at the end of a mission anyway, it's the same as a gg.

[karmic shuttle]

was getting borin to begin with, now just unplayable

[slow solar]

no but there were 3 of them and 1 of me haha

[inner tendon]

Bugged I guess. That is not supposed to happen.

or somenoe else was in your group and left as/then they spawned.

[slow solar]

nope! ive been solo farming retals and control points for like 4 hours 🙁 idk what happened. only 3 of them spawned. bug i guess. i got 3 loot drops. one for each kill.

[inner tendon]

Yeah that is weird, they are 100% only supposed to spawn in at group size +1.
but hey, free drops!

[tough aspen]

How do you move your damage number away from your crosshair? Some people have it like an inch to the left/right.

[steep void]

enable floating number from settings

[rugged stratus]

ok, super late PSA...
if you need them yaahl mats, clan vendor got your back this week. well worth the 5.6mil to max out for any future crafting needs

[left ravine]

Oh damn, looks like I need to join a random clan for a bit

[rough trench]

Only for the UK until you verify your age through Ubi.

[rugged stratus]

i got a spot if need

[karmic shuttle]

yep an not doin that

so just not gonna play, easy

[left ravine]

Sure thing

[rough trench]

Only 5.6mil for 999? That's a bargain!

[rugged stratus]

fr

[slow solar]

is joining a clan worthwhile? ive never seen anything about them or anyone mention them. i rarely see the clan room in the whitehouse.

[slim elk]

cant you just make one and save yourself from joining someone's clan?

[rugged stratus]

it is, clan vendor and if the clan is active there is matchmaking opportunities

[left ravine]

I think you need to have four players or so? Not sure

Honestly haven't tested it

[rugged stratus]

i cant remember but you need to reach a certain level for the vendor

[left ravine]

Yeah that too, and for that, you will need four members to get clan XP if I remember right

[slim elk]

well shit

welcome to deck's clan lmao (im in it too)

[left ravine]

Oh hi 😄

[rugged stratus]

hell i joined mine for a vendor way back.. then attrition left me as leader 😎

[inner tendon]

yep, 4 people minimum.
I was in a dead one with 3 folks for ages, no vendor.

[left ravine]

Aye

[rugged stratus]

i flipped that shit and i think most members are active in last 30 at this point

[inner tendon]

i just joined a random one and there's always a decent top 10 score each week, so hey, no complaints

although the clan colours are hideous for the hats

[left ravine]

Time to craft some Yaahl chests

[rugged stratus]

let me guess, mangogzs

they ugly af on this leaderboard wall 😂

[slow solar]

i remember you said something about this one? its S10 part 2

i can not get it to spawn

[left ravine]

Did you conquer the single CP in there?

[slow solar]

yup.

[left ravine]

The "friendly" activities alternate. If there is a practice shooting, do it. If there is an airdrop, do it. At some point it'll spawn without waiting too long

[inner tendon]

clear the red activities too, that way there's more room for them to spawn

[left ravine]

Yus

[bright trail]

How do you join ? I want to join for yaahl as well

[inner tendon]

blue and orange. ugh

[inner tendon]

#td2-clan-recruitment would love to have you!

i just used the ingame thingy

[bright trail]

But i am not interested in clan will leave as soon as i get the gear. Dont want to lie

[slow solar]

its not possible currently it seems. its a known and reported bug. https://trello.com/b/F2RU9ia9/the-division-2-known-issues

[inner tendon]

yes that shade of blue, with like, burnt orange. its a powerfully ugly combo

[left ravine]

Weren't you talking about hostage rescue?

[slow solar]

thats scout 10. objective 2 yes. the one the patch notes say is broken at the moment.

[left ravine]

Nah it's not broken. I did most scouts yesterday, worked fine. Some take a shoot ton of time tho

[bright trail]

They changed it from federal to judiciary i think

[rugged stratus]

i hate waiting for the hostage rescues. had an area prepped yesterday, no hostage rescue but supply drops galore. i swapped scouts, instant hostage rescue pop... swapped back to scout that needed the rescue, supply drop again 🤦‍♂️

just said f them hostages

[slim elk]

i had three back to back yesterday lmfao

[rugged stratus]

ill start just joining you then

[wide jolt]

Purchase shit tons of them now, dismantle next week during event giving double mats

[bright trail]

Do not open the optimization chests you get

Next week their content will be doubled

[rugged stratus]

200 iq move

[inner tendon]

instructions unclear, bought and dismantled enough to get to 999.

now, to find an actual use for Yaahl.....this might take a while

[rugged stratus]

sounds like you need a hazpro eclipse setup 👀

i have a guide for that 😎

[left ravine]

BACKFIRE HAZP... nah, just kidding ;D

[inner tendon]

hey now.

[bright trail]

There is a dark zone build by kamilaze but you need to get the backpack

[inner tendon]

Literally every single part of that sentence made me want to uninstall the game.

[slow solar]

i wanna know where the boat is 🙁

[slim elk]

no offense but ew...

[slim elk]

LMFAOOO

[left ravine]

lol

[slow solar]

cleared the bounty and got an instant rescue.

[left ravine]

That's my crafting in a nutshell

[bright trail]

Worse than my garibaldi

[left ravine]

Crafted 50 so far, not one that I could use

[inner tendon]

and now you know why we say to not bother crafting most of the time.
since it always scales down to normal.
i guess it beats DZ farming though.

[left ravine]

Yeah, drops once in a blue moon in the DZ

And then it usually has poop rolls too 😂

[bright trail]

Unreal. At lear give the friggin thing good rolls

To be far i got a ceska kneecaps the other day 15/6/12

And i needed it

That was a fine day

[left ravine]

Happens sometimes, usually with unmatching attributes :p

[slow solar]

this is getting so bad

[bright trail]

Mine is twice as long

I just kill the dude on jefferson square every opportun

Thinking of not getting the bounty entire first day

I got like 50 thorn and like glue each

[rugged stratus]

see, never fails

[slim elk]

I think hostage rescues work the other way, supply drops spawn when all cps in an area are controlled by the agent AND when I reset my map a rescue spawned in less than 5 minutes

might as well try it that way

[rugged stratus]

all the cp controlled there . ive done the relog thing

[slim elk]

lemme hop on rq

[bright trail]

Elite supply is the worst

[slim elk]

absolutely, I just run Sinkhole until one spawns, it never fails me

[bright trail]

But there is a way. Make sure east mall is owned by true sons and fast travel to capitol

[rugged stratus]

not sinkhole

[slim elk]

yes sinkhole
I will never not love it

[bright trail]

I hate sinkhole. During the retaliation they always come from behind the fence there

[rugged stratus]

that whole area kinda sucks for retaliation, imho

[slim elk]

they dont if you're sitting infront of it

[rugged stratus]

ill take any other district

[bright trail]

Worst

[slim elk]

east mall is just ugh for retals

[bright trail]

Solar farm is the worst imhoZ. Total chaos

[rugged stratus]

i dont mind the cp's themselves.. its the running

at least you get a few kill squads

[bright trail]

Yes kill squad is life saver it is the other shit

Bro i have the cp what are you doing here

[left ravine]

Now that I don't need one...

[rugged stratus]

west end and downtown east are my preferred . lotta spawn opportunities for kill squads, fast clear overall

[slim elk]

there she is

[rugged stratus]

stay put. youre now my spirit animal 🔥

[slim elk]

You better run, Gallagher!

he stealin'!!! 🔥

[rugged stratus]

thanks bro 💯

[slow solar]

literally my 9th one. and a damn drone spawns

[slim elk]

get your free exotic components! 📣

[slow solar]

what do i want on a quickstep?

[fringe herald]

guys what does it mean to rescue the captured true sons defector is that like a missions or something? i need it to do the scout

[slow solar]

thank you

swap speed

[sterile otter]

dang lexington does not want to drop

[delicate tartan]

Is it right that the 2 weapons skin is called kelso dream and sedition..i wonder if i got both? Stretch Goals Mutiny.

[worldly fjord]

for this stretch goals its Sedition and Insurgence

[delicate tartan]

Thanks , i check for insurgence when i get home maybe i received all :). Have great weekend

[slow solar]

i voided 5 of them and someone begged me to keep one yesterday. whats it even for?

[slim elk]

its hype is unnecessarily high bc it's only 4% better than a police m4

ytbers have made it look like the absolute best god mode weapon ever made

although I'm not saying that you shouldn't use it or keep at least 1 for each character and put Killer on them

[warm salmon]

i like the maxed stats so i don't have to grind for more

[slow solar]

damn

finished the man hunt at last.

[slow solar]

ehh i love my load out enough that i dont really care lol

[wicked aspen]

Whats the next best season xp method besides stronghold priority, I am tired of running Rosevelt Island back-to-back-to-back

[slow solar]

i just finished scout missions! 2400xp PER mission.

like 2.4m xp

[wicked aspen]

I finished those a while ago, are they able to be replayed?

[slow solar]

no idea rip.

[worldly fjord]

nope

[nocturne siren]

Is this for the manhunt stuff to unlock master? Bc if so I unlocked it by only doing HVT 3 and HVT 2

[slow solar]

oooo

[nocturne siren]

Very good gloves 💯

They work like unbreakable but on gloves. Don't pair it with unbreakable tho it's pointless

[cerulean cloud]

Can anyone tell me when the houndsman event ends?

[slow solar]

I'm confused every time i finish a mission or bounty or anything it force opens this window. but I've finished it.

[nocturne siren]

Press and hold F on that screen

"stop auto briefing"

Seems to be a new thing they added that nobody asked for

[worldly fjord]

Doesn't it say audio briefing, and not auto?

[slow solar]

will deactivating the scout fix it?

[nocturne siren]

Possibly. I don't really know

[tough aspen]

If your gear gets you to 55 CHC and your weapon gives you another 8, will you go beyond 60 in-battle or is itgoing to be capped at 60%?

[fickle ravine]

it will be capped

[tough aspen]

I see.

[delicate tartan]

Can someone tell me the reason why i cant deconstruct stack broker when i have 1 from before, all other weapon i can deconstruct. So if i get more than one i have to put it in stash. Its a joke, why do the devs make it so hard

[tender aspen]

it's just one item, it's annoying, yes, but it's one inventory space

[delicate tartan]

Ok

[left ravine]

#ask-td2-community message

Someone didn't think that through now that they're part of stretch goals

[delicate tartan]

I see maybe we get a solution

[left ravine]

Could try to create an alt, put weapon in inventory and delete that alt

[delicate tartan]

Hmmmm

[left ravine]

Just a thought, no idea if that works

[tender aspen]

it DOES work I guarantee you

[quick folio]

is brooklyn mission bugged? rescule dr kandel

i was next to her she didnt do anything, i left the building, and im positive the door is now closed which i used to get to her in hte first place

[steep void]

24th utc 8 am

[steep void]

it doesn't take space in inventory or stash u can put 1000 of them

[quick folio]

wth does she want me to do?

[tender aspen]

i think you should leave the building

[quick folio]

nothing

[tender aspen]

well idk anymore sorry man

[quick folio]

does she consider my companion as an enemy and is locked in a 'area not c lear' state or summin

can i unsummon him

[tender aspen]

not possible lol

[quick folio]

ulld be surprised whats possible

[tender aspen]

go to your inventory and look for the shd watch at the top

[quick folio]

welp, time to run this all over again -_-

[quick folio]

so it will seem that was the case

[tender aspen]

wth

[quick folio]

idk if its the relog, or the fact that i disabled the thing

[bright trail]

if you have a medic companion does he revire you atutomatically when you die or you need to activate something?

[wheat quarry]

What up doe my division family

[left ravine]

Sometimes they, sometimes they don't. Roll the dice

[bright trail]

but how do i make him ? i am trying to get this buddy fix or whatever journey achievement called. revive or make your companion revive you 2 times. i intentionally killed myseld, dude does not do anythng but running around, do i need to do something

[fringe river]

Hey so… can anyone tell me why I have (-247.2%) headshot dmg?

i have seen cheats they would clear full krampus bounty in 30 sec and u'll lag like hell becz of all those npcs dying instantly

[quick folio]

@inner tendon literally his build

no thats not supposed to be thumbed up lol

[steep void]

i see no reason why a cheater needs so much haz pro or armor cz u knows his cheating

[inner tendon]

It just sounds like someone using Reanimated well during a Retal

even without purely spawn camping, I was able to clear a Heroic CP within a Retal stupidly fast with an OnDir and a prolific amount of headshots.

[limber dove]

Chat what’s the companion ability button

Or will it tell me when it’s available

[wispy merlin]

same as the go rogue key, T

[limber dove]

Ah

[misty adder]

anyone knows if u can get bonehead hoodie for free? i cba spending 5$ for 30 premium credits then have them lay around forever

[left ravine]

It's a store item that's not purchasable with textiles

[misty adder]

so not obtainable by any other means like caches?

[left ravine]

Nope, not at this time. We don't know if that changes in the future

[misty adder]

damn alright thx

[slim elk]

yeah, deck needed the rescue and his session was toying with him lol

[left ravine]

He can't see your response

[slim elk]

wait what

[steep void]

got banned

[inner tendon]

Not as far as I can see, unless the channel is glitching out.
Maybe discord banned.

for future reference: any name in white is one without a role on here, which either means banned or very new and somehow bypassed it.

[quick folio]

Can overdogs drop from summit?

[left ravine]

He left

[steel siren]

Is valentine event dogs appears if reanimated event activated? Or i need to find dogs in normal mode and then turn reanimated for the rest of event items farm?

[bright trail]

they appear in any case

[inner tendon]

@steel siren What's your platform for div2?

[bright trail]

eliminate true sons commander enemies : are these elites or named enemies?

[inner tendon]

If it's like, 0/25, its any.
If it's way less: it's named.

[bright trail]

30

[inner tendon]

If it's not regular, I'd be very shocked.

[bright trail]

and fireteam enemies that is 30 as well

[bright trail]

is there a way to see how many companions we recruited?

nevermind found it

[inner tendon]

If you need to get to 10 in each Rank ASAP, you can travel from safe-house to safe house, it'll give you a random one each time.

Engineer has the tendency to be a slightly lower spawn-rate than the other two, but just keep going.

[bright trail]

yes good idea

[stray cobalt]

Hey guys! I saw people running quicker with a pistol equipped. How does this work? I have the same speed as with any other weapon.

[limber dove]

Specific named pistol

The quickstep, 20% extra move speed while holding it

You can’t normally get it, but you can right now through the stretch goals and the head popping event

Bloody houndsman

[stray cobalt]

oh wow, sounds good. Where do I start? Bountys?

so I finish the season pass and then?

[limber dove]

To answer the last part first, finis the season pass and then every couple levels beyond 100 you’ll get a cache that has a chance to drop quickstep (among other rare named items)

[bright trail]

you have a better chance to get quikstep from killing warhounds now

[limber dove]

But the most efficient way to get quickstep is probably through the houndsman bounty

[stray cobalt]

Oh nice thank you. Does activating the valentine event help?

[limber dove]

Little war hounds are spawning throughout the map (idk if you need event active for them to spawn)

Look up where they spawn, kill I think 4 or 5 and you’ll get the bounty

Activate the bounty in the bottom right area of the map, run to the objective and you’ll see a little courtyard with I think 5 of the little doggies roaming around

Now, you can kill them, move inside the building and kill the houndsman to get some of his cosmetics and complete the bounty, or

[zealous forge]

I went into the DZ and now my stretch goals are bugged does anyone know if they eventually go back to normal?

[limber dove]

you can kill the fist 5 dogs, run inside and let the houndsman kill you (which fails the bounty but you keep it) and reactivate the bounty when you respawn

It takes about 2:30 - 3 minutes to run to the bounty and kill 5 dogs, which equates to 10 named drops

[stray cobalt]

Thank you so much, I try this out now

[limber dove]

Btw you keep getting houndsman bounties every 5 dogs you kill, so even if you want to complete it to get the cosmetics on your first run, you can get another bounty to farm dogs

[stray cobalt]

Do I need to have the newest DLC for the bounty mission?

[limber dove]

Uhhhh I have no idea

[stray cobalt]

I try it out now thanks

[limber dove]

Good luck o7

[left sable]

Is it possible if I share a link to a fan made website for builds? (It's not affiliated with Ubisoft) It's new. I understand if it's not allowed.

[left ravine]

#td2-build-advice post there

[proud oyster]

better to solo run challenging stronghold prio objectives or matchmake heroic ones?

[ashen fable]

if you have a good build & know the mission, solo on heroic. to avoid group scaling

[bright trail]

guys, if you have unused scavanger points, it gives double field recon data

[steel siren]

PC

[bright trail]

also crafying gives double

[steel siren]

I've killed much more than 5 dogs but haven't got any bounty...Or im missing something? How do i know if it drops?

[bright trail]

small dogs right with strange glow around them

when it drops it will show on screen as bounty

[proud oyster]

I'm not super confident in running solo heroic content myself, which would be the next best option?

[ashen fable]

solo challenging

i assume u r running for season xp from prios. if u can get ppl fast, run heroic. otherwise solo challenging

also make sure u turn on global modifiers for atleast 10% extra season xp

[bright trail]

so what is the best way to maximize the optimization event

countdowns and retaliations?

[slow solar]

damn how many bars lol

is today the day i use these?

[bright trail]

i used 50

and spent all already lol

[slow solar]

i got this weird one last night. does this mean i can literally just print recon data?

i dont have to farm for it?

[slim elk]

yeah

[bright trail]

that is the most important bp in the game

[left ravine]

You are better off crafting those with other mats, don't spend points directly on those

[bright trail]

is there a way to mass collect steel ?

[left ravine]

However it's better to spend watch points directly on SHD Calibration cuz they're too expensive to craft

[proud oyster]

where do u turn on that DPS chat feed that i see in so many videos?

[left ravine]

This?

[slim elk]

Enter > + > Combat Details > DMG Numbers

[proud oyster]

ooo yep ty!

[slow solar]

is there a blueprint for this?

[left ravine]

No

[bright trail]

you get that from deconstructing mods

[rugged stratus]

goto your watch scavenging points. 1 point will be all you need for whatever that is

[slow solar]

has the doubling thing started?

i need a TON of the fillament for opti

[rugged stratus]

not yet. afaik, *visually shows live, but cant confirm

you can set your target loot for skill mods, then set skill mods to autodeconstruct to passively fill printer filament

[rough trench]

Oh really? The game says it's live for some reason.

[rugged stratus]

duplicates decon and best stay safe from decon

i could be wrong

[slow solar]

yeah i just claimed 20 and got just 20 worth not 40 🙁

[rough trench]

Claimed 20 of what?

Printer Filaments are not doubled.

[slow solar]

the watch printer filla ones.

crafted some shd cal as well and some true sons cal and only got normal amounts 🙁

[rugged stratus]

yeah i didnt get double return

but it is showing live so im thinking its bugged out or only specific items are doubled

[slow solar]

yeah it def sucks.

[rough trench]

SHD Cal and Tactical Assessments should be doubled, however.

[rugged stratus]

i did get double marksman rifle alloy

[rough trench]

It's x2 amount of:

• all weapon alloys
• all gear fabrics (holster, backpack, gloves, etc.),
• all faction-based tactical assessments
• SHD Calibration
• Field Recon Data

That's basically it. No other mats are doubled.

[rugged stratus]

awe crappy

so yeah, limited live. appreciate the heads up

[rough trench]

I've seen people reporting that they're not getting x2 materials, but I think they just expect werong mats to be doubled.

I cannot check myself unfortunately. 🤣

[rugged stratus]

last time they did it , was getting double exp comps as well

[rough trench]

Last time it was Expertise Surge, not Optimization Surge.

[rugged stratus]

yeah, someone took the warning serious when they said mules were being nerfed 😎

[rugged stratus]

fair

[slow solar]

yay

[rough trench]

Yeah. 🤣
I also made around 60 mules last time we had Expertise Surge because my Field Recon Data ran out really quickly.

[slow solar]

this good?

[rough trench]

Checked with my alt. Surge event is working and everything's just as intended.

[proud oyster]

is battle for brookyln worth getting? i got WoNY and enjoyed it but didnt pick up bfb after seeing some reviews covering it negatively

[slow solar]

weird.

[slow solar]

i really liked it. some of it can be pretty jaring

[rough trench]

Here it will always say the initial amount because your regular reward is +1 FRD per Landmark. Always check your in-game chat, the resources get doubled after they are added to your inventory.

[left ravine]

F the reviews. It's good and for that price it should be a no-brainer 😄

[slow solar]

what are these for?

[pseudo tundra]

Its DZ money

[slow solar]

where do i use it?

[pseudo tundra]

There are DZ vendors at the front of each DZ

They can sell DZ exclusives sometimes so having some is always useful

[slow solar]

some of the dz stuff is so expensive haha.

i think im doing well so far. leveling up quick step so i can exp upgtrade it. and finishing off maxing out my gear.

[slow solar]

repair skills dont apply to refactor do they?

[bright trail]

you can also buy exotic cashes from them with that

repair skills are good if you use a shield build i think for refactor skill damage and haste

you should upgrade chc first

also reload speed at the bottom

[limber dove]

Are you killing the small dogs with names

[bright trail]

other than safehouses where can i find companion?

[rough trench]

Scripted encounters, like the one outside 1040 safehouse.

[bright trail]

that one i know. is there any like it?

[rough trench]

Other encounters are random. IIRC there are 5 types of them. Search for my guide on Reddit, you'll find the info.

[spare girder]

Why do some content creators like Rogue Gold use a female character?

Does it make the hitbox small?

[keen sierra]

Preference/better looking cosmetics

[spare girder]

What abt the aim?

[spare girder]

Technically, to look pretty?

[keen sierra]

Wouldn't know about this. Maybe there's some hidden hitbox difference but it's not something I've ever read or heard off. I highly doubt it really matter if there's any difference in the hitbox between a male and a female character.

[slow solar]

yay max dz

[sterile otter]

A good looking gun that I want to use in place of my st Elmo

[slow solar]

damn

[bright trail]

what is this from?

[slow solar]

the resource cache things from countdown!! opened 4 of them

[torn cape]

How tf can I get an elite resource convoy?

[slim elk]

wait

[spare girder]

How can I get a rescue operation?

[slim elk]

you wait lol

[torn cape]

Wait hahahaha

[slim elk]

I'm not kidding lmfaoo

[torn cape]

I know :p

[rough trench]

That's how it works in this game. If you need something you wait.

[slim elk]

Do some control points to kill time

[slow solar]

def getting better.

[regal epoch]

are the seasonal journey caches supposed to be this cracked?

[snow cargo]

Old PvP build.

[slow solar]

im getting closer.

[snow cargo]

Find some CHC mods.

[slow solar]

yeah i got this one yesterday. its on the chest

[bright trail]

nice, i dont think i ever found a 6 percent one

[slow solar]

ive never seen one too haha. i got this and i was like "it will do"

[steep void]

Max mods drops from legendaries mostly

[civic junco]

Can you post YT links here? I have two retals, one with HE Pesti and one with CoCo Pesti I want to post as a comparison of the two.

The files are too big for Discord though

[slim elk]

only if they're not yours

[civic junco]

Want to post my retals for me lol

[slim elk]

if it's not for advice or help related, it's considered self promo

[civic junco]

I wanted to do it as a comparison of the two builds. My YT is like 20 years old and only has like 11 subs as you can tell I don't care about promoting it lol

[left ravine]

What's your main take-away from those two builds you wanna compare?

[civic junco]

Just how fast each of them get rolling and how CoCo even though it starts out slower I feel it has a higher floor from the start than HE does

[left ravine]

CoCo solo ofc takes longer to get to max stacks, that's how it works. The damage ceiling is higher and you will get the highest tick damage

[civic junco]

Also showing people how easy it is to solo retal with the builds even with PGC

[left ravine]

Will not attract much interest, I can say that from experience. There aren't many players interested in GC

[civic junco]

I feel like that is because they don't know how to play GC

And, like myself, some people are visual learners where you can tell them all day how to do something and they will never get it but show them once and they are an expert

[left ravine]

Try explaining that on Reddit for instance, gl ^^

[mellow trout]

It's really weird

Because a lot of people here that's what they will recommend but we're like a very small fraction of the playerbase

Most probably still run oblit/equaliser or even unbreakable

[wispy merlin]

i never touch pgc

[left ravine]

If you run a stack-based build you might as well run Equalizer nowadays because the different isn't that much and newer players feel safer

[wispy merlin]

i die in 2 shootz

[slim elk]

pgc touches you

[mellow trout]

it WHAT

[civic junco]

feels you

You become the PGC

I even run PGC in my Refactor build because it is that good

[slim elk]

freezer is ringing my door hold on

[left ravine]

Solo that's OK but for group play try Empathic Resolve

[civic junco]

I asked that because I have that and people said that didn't help

[left ravine]

It does procc and it helps your team do additional bonus damage

[civic junco]

Said healing skills don't matter only amount of DMG

[rugged stratus]

using PGC is like entering into a toxic relationship... just when you think youre done, you realize its way to good to dump. iykyk

[left ravine]

They get a decent amount of repair plus bonus dmg

[civic junco]

I feel lied too because I crush a bunch of ER chests that would be awesome

[left ravine]

So far nobody complained about it when I ran it

With a team that kisses the floor a lot I would personally recommend the Refactor chest tho

[civic junco]

So the ER does boost teammates DMG when you heal them with Refactor?

[rugged stratus]

yes

[left ravine]

And 2x Hana-U. backpack and whatever

[civic junco]

Well damn

[civic junco]

Peop-le said it didn't

[rugged stratus]

why you ask here

[left ravine]

I can guarantee you it procs

[civic junco]

That's why I run this

[rugged stratus]

run force multiplier for the extra 5% amp
-# dont crucify, single source tsd acts as amp

[left ravine]

@civic junco

[civic junco]

So what I need is a Fenris piece for 10 AR WD and Empathic Resolve

[rugged stratus]

what!?

[left ravine]

Why Fenris?

[civic junco]

AR WD

[rugged stratus]

-# challenge mode activated

[civic junco]

I use Wyvern for skill DMG

[left ravine]

You want your skills to do damage, your damage is a bonus but not needed

[rugged stratus]

i get that, but regular skill damage isnt that worth when you stack all skill damage. if you werent using combined arms already i wouldnt bother.. but its just extra damage

[civic junco]

Hana U is Skill Haste and that isn't needed on Refactor Turret/Drone

[left ravine]

1pc skill haste, 2pcs 10% skill damage

[rugged stratus]

why do you use sacrifice... hsd isnt needed in refactor

[civic junco]

30% to ALL DMG

[mellow trout]

I think refactor chest is more healing than even pgc

[rugged stratus]

force multiplier is the same

[mellow trout]

Last I checked refactor doesn't proc empathic

[left ravine]

That chest gives monster heals

[civic junco]

Doesn't hit gun DMG though

[mellow trout]

But I'd be happy to be proven wrong

[civic junco]

See right here

[mellow trout]

Wish the deflector could heal with refactor too

[rugged stratus]

extra total skill damage > skill damage of wyvern

[civic junco]

Oppo views

[mellow trout]

I had so many ideas squashed 😭

[rugged stratus]

its the same concept as using pgc. min max

[left ravine]

#ask-td2-community message

[mellow trout]

Oh nice

[civic junco]

@mellow trout is in my camp as just been lied too forever so never checked lol

[left ravine]

If you ask randoms on Reddit or wherever you get 200 different opinions on something

[civic junco]

Yeah I feel sad because I crushed so many good ER chests thinking it didn't matter

[left ravine]

You will also see players who swear on their grandma's grave that repair skills works with Refactor...

[mellow trout]

When I tested it initially it didn't but it seems they've fixed

[mellow trout]

💀

[civic junco]

No, I asked here

[mellow trout]

Reddit is a wild place man

[left ravine]

For sure, it's the wildlands

[civic junco]

So it used to not work and now it does?

[left ravine]

AFAIK it always worked

[civic junco]

Maybe I just missed the memo

[left ravine]

I tested it early on after release of that gear set and it worked

But I'm not 100% sure, whatever, it works now

[civic junco]

yeah becuae I used to use ER in my FI builds all the time

Was great before I got The Setup and a viable Scorp

[left ravine]

Yup

But the FI chest was better IIRC? Or not?

[rugged stratus]

tested early on, its always worked

[mellow trout]

Was thinking of refactor not working with deflector then

[strange harbor]

What works? ER?

[rugged stratus]

yes

[wispy merlin]

reflector dreams crushed

[civic junco]

Either way, I feel Skill Haste is wasted on Refactor builds

[mellow trout]

It was gonna be so good man😔

[strange harbor]

But refractor dream lives on

[mellow trout]

Tank, heals, AND some damage

[left ravine]

Can also use Wyvern and Murakami or Shiny Monkey for skill duration

Just preference at that point

[wispy merlin]

with ninjabike

[civic junco]

But I do have the Force Multiplier

[left ravine]

Can use that one of course, I don't like it much personally

[mellow trout]

Aggressive deck noises

[rugged stratus]

time to go carry randoms with fire overclipse

[strange harbor]

Firedog?

[rugged stratus]

*only around 1100 increase over the wyvern when i just checked . i feel like we may have had that conversation before

[civic junco]

FI chest does more range which is nice but not necessary.

[left ravine]

Range?

[civic junco]

NM I read it wrong

[tough aspen]

Since you can only change one, would you change one of the stats or the talent? If so, which?

[left ravine]

Talent, rest is perfect

But that talent is already really good for DPS

[civic junco]

Lex all drop god rolled

[wispy merlin]

dog protocol

[civic junco]

If you want a different talent just pick as needed

[tough aspen]

Oh is it? I thought it was bad. I'll stick with it then. Thank you.

[left ravine]

Killer is recommended for solo play and Measured (your current talent) for group play

[civic junco]

Yeah change the Talent only

[rugged stratus]

overclipse protodogs

[wispy merlin]

lmao rivens

[rugged stratus]

although, firedogs rolls off the tongue much better

[left ravine]

Sounds spicy

[civic junco]

Hellfire Dogs

[inner tendon]

Firedogs just sounds like you're walking when it's like 40c outside.

[mellow trout]

Summon your inner sparkles

[civic junco]

I found this recently from the way back and how TD2 used to look. I wish I had my old HDD these SS were taken from https://imgur.com/gallery/division-2-rifle-build-rqKPrtF

[left plinth]

Does the Sheriff guaranteed drops if im doing someone else's Master for the first time?
(I havent unlocked Master for myself)

[strange harbor]

Yes

[tough aspen]

How exactly does accuracy and stability work?

Is accuracy how tight the grouping of your shots are and stability how much recoil there is?

[civic junco]

Yes

ACC reduces bloom and Stability reduces kick
