The cat ears hat were part of an apparel event.

GEN Ramen Hat (set), to be specific.

[strange harbor]

Welcome back, agent. There's a big everything spreadsheet with lots of information pinned at #td2-build-advice

[slow solar]

https://x.com/MattGoesBuck/status/1708951500615979495

2023 sadly a 1 off.

[limber dove]

!! I NEED it 🙏🙏

[quick orchid]

i miss my old clothes

[slow solar]

whats this one mean?

T300

[shadow isle]

in #td2-build-advice there's links somewhere to build guides, I suggest reading those and farm for gear (my preference is Countdown but Summit is viable)

[slow solar]

rip ive had this exact same one twice before.

[quick orchid]

get used to it

[vapid nest]

@violet dove If you were wondering what it looks like.

[quick orchid]

black tusk tanks,not the dog, you ahve to jam them emp sticky nade or jammer pulse

[twilit bay]

Hey at least you're getting named items

[violet dove]

oh lol

[violet dove]

take me along and lets go get it ! lol

[inner tendon]

It changes your eye and hair, just an FYI
pretty neat

robot eye 👁‍🗨

[twilit bay]

Ive opened at least 100 caches and haven't gotten anything i wanted

[vapid nest]

I'm in summit right now waiting for 3 other people to join for a rogue encounter.

Can't really help atm. My hands are tied.

[violet dove]

what difficulty?

[vapid nest]

Legendary.

I could solo it, but then less loot.

And the LFG channels seem to be mostly dead for Summit.

[violet dove]

mmm idk i have a proper build for the tower using HB/Lexington/stack broker atm

[vapid nest]

I mean... if I didn't know any better, I'd assume people are just affraid of Legendary for some reason.

[limber dove]

What’s your season level 👀

[twilit bay]

Like 200ish I think

188

So not 100 caches

Im getting about 3 levels every 15 to 20 minutes

[limber dove]

That’s like around 50 caches I think

You’ll get there 👍👍

[inner tendon]

Just focus on Manhunt/Journey stuff, then Prio Strongholds, you'll be fine.

[twilit bay]

It feels like a million

[bright trail]

Prestige caches you got every 10 level is no match for the krampus caches

[limber dove]

It’s the mutiny caches that are the important ones :3

[twilit bay]

Prio strongholds are all im doing currently because im solo

[twilit bay]

Yeah

[inner tendon]

you can call for backup if you want to speed up the process

[bright trail]

I am level 286

[inner tendon]

then re-call to cap it out at 4 people total.

[bright trail]

Ok maybe no

[twilit bay]

Everytime i did that they quit halfway through or just be afk

[inner tendon]

i got all my oufit bits with just Textiles, this was a great Stretch Goals event for me.

[inner tendon]

then boot them and re-call

[bright trail]

I need 12 more levels to get the exotic

[twilit bay]

I never thought of that lol

[inner tendon]

div2 is all about that numbers game.
alternatively, you can find consistent teammates via #td2-clan-recruitment, the xbox in-console matchmaking thingy, or #lfg-xbox
GL Agent, you got this.

[slow solar]

whats the last one?

[inner tendon]

that is odd, lemme see

[rough trench]

#lfg-xbox

[limber dove]

Is that the Xbox lfg? I can’t access either

[inner tendon]

ooh right, yeah you need to have the id:customize to see it.

if you play on xbox, i can add it quickly

[slow solar]

no i was just confused i see a lot of channels i cant access linked is all haha

[limber dove]

No I’m a pc guy

[bright trail]

Is there a chance to get catalyst from atmy terminal mission without master level?

[inner tendon]

Yeah its all about keeping it tidy, since its only for matchmaking that they're locked off, other platforms don't really need to see them.

@bright trail Army Terminal doesn't have Master difficulty.

[limber dove]

But what if I want to snoop…

[left ravine]

There is no master diff.

[quick orchid]

Ive only opend 85 of then blue boxes got 2 stack broken and 1 or 2 lex

[inner tendon]

@limber dove id:customize 😉

[left ravine]

It's a regular mission

[limber dove]

That would be so devious of me

[left ravine]

But, alternatively to that mission you can farm a named boss called Charlie in Brooklyn

[bright trail]

How do i find this charlie

[left ravine]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Division2/comments/1mo6sb0/guaranteed_named_open_world_bosses_location_in/

[bright trail]

Much appreciated

[twilit bay]

Finally

And it has dttooc

[left ravine]

Cheers, it drops God rolled

[twilit bay]

Yep

[slow solar]

lol i came down to the loot room and got a named and 3 random enemies down here. wtf

@inner tendonyou mentioned a fix for this a while back? what was it?

[inner tendon]

good lord that was a while ago

uh i think it was something to do with not healing whilst under a status effect

[left ravine]

Down yourself (with a grenade) - need a reviver hive or companion for that tho

Or travel to a safe zone

[slow solar]

rip.

[left ravine]

That works too

[slim elk]

[keen sierra]

That rusher did not like you one bit, but at least it fixes your issue with the armor?

[slow solar]

seems to have

[bright trail]

Happened to me as well

[keen sierra]

Good! The having no status effects active does fix it. Momento counts as a status effect which was active in the video

[slow solar]

yeah i never let it time out. since you have like 3 minutes to pick up another. so i have perm stacks that way. meaning more dps. more regen. more skill stuff

that was something lol. legandary hits different on that one

[quick orchid]

there is no magic fix it has nothing to do with healing under status, its a bug in the game since we got them you have to die and get resed by a team mate or a hive or travle to a safe house/boo

[left ravine]

The issue being showcased in the video is the directive "Fragile Armor" bugging out. That happens sometimes, independant of Memento or any status effects

[limber dove]

Oh fr I thought that was intended

[quick orchid]

has nothing to do with that its just a bug since the directives started

[limber dove]

It usually happened to me after it says “directives leveled up” or smth

[left ravine]

It has not been fixed since that directive was introduced despite reports raining in

[inner tendon]

im fairly sure there was another fix back in the day

not just dying/safe house

[left ravine]

I'd be happy to know of another way

[inner tendon]

the fix i mentioned IIRC was how to not let it happen in the first place

[quick orchid]

na there is not Ive ran them since they dropped there is no fix other then die or go home

[inner tendon]

thats just not true

[quick orchid]

yes it is.........

[left ravine]

I also wish it wouldn't happen in the first place 😄

[inner tendon]

im 99% sure there was a way to avoid it happening, but regardless it doesnt matter because no matter what i say you disagree.

so lets just end it here.

[quick orchid]

yeah turn it off....

[left ravine]

I'm all ears about another possible fix

[inner tendon]

Enough with the pings.

[left ravine]

Because wasting a reviver hive for this bug can be annoying

[quick orchid]

you ping me 1st....

if you are gonna tell someone something thats just not true then yeah ima say its not true. bring evidence. I have over 12,000 hours in this game you think if there was a way for it to not happen id know. or another fix id know. Ive searced to the end of the world for a fix its turn it off, die, or go "home"

[keen sierra]

This is true, especially running open world where RNG sometimes will screw you over regardless on what you try 😅

[rugged stratus]

easy fix is not using broken armor, or git gud as the whipper snappers say

[next stone]

How do I swap ammo types?

Trying to not use my explo ammo

[slim elk]

cant

[left ravine]

Do you mean Hollow Point ammo?

[slow solar]

damn

[mellow trout]

Aim for the ammo belt

BT chungas are really weak to that

[left ravine]

If you can, get behind the chunga and shoot their butt

[slow solar]

oh haha i wish. it was legandary and 3 of them with the thrower dropped on my head.

[snow cargo]

Shoot chain

[next stone]

new to the game do not know what I am doing but learning

I picked up some sort of flame / explosive AR ammo and could not swap back to my main ammo that I had 600 something odd bullets of

[slow solar]

once you use it up it reverts back to normal ammo! sadly have to use it to swap back.

[slow solar]

good?

[slim elk]

😩

[slow solar]

@inner tendon@limber dove O M G cat ears hat is in the store 😮

[left ravine]

The entire outfit is in the store permanently

[slow solar]

i thought it was a one time event thing like the bag? but def looks good.

[slow solar]

yeah the backpack i was refering to isnt there.

[left ravine]

What backpack?

[slow solar]

this one. linked above. from an event.

[left ravine]

Ah, Kitty Fluffy Kiss Kiss 😂

Yeah that is a store item that came out with the Potomac Event Center climax mission

Will come back at some point. Comes with three dyes too IIRC

[slow solar]

i supose i can live with this for now.

[inner tendon]

If you want something like that back in the store faster, requesting it via #1380126780152614944 is the best way to get the devs attention, that and social media posts praising it.

just don't tag them in this server, feel free to @ the official accounts via other socials though.

[slow solar]

how does this look? #1380194318786232360 message

[inner tendon]

perfect! make sure you keep up on it over time, popular things come back more often.
the sheer amount of times Recruiter has returned alone prove that one.

[left ravine]

Psst, August 2025, not 2023

[slow solar]

i loveeee learning the spawn points for missions. like your just gonna come out of that drain? guess you better expect a hell of a party 😆

my control point officer got lost lol

[fickle ravine]

Stupid question, but I remember that the tank symbol used to look more like a hamburger or something (pictured below), does anyone else remember or am I just tripping

[blazing ginkgo]

I do remember that

[strange harbor]

Yeah some of the symbols have changed, for example RPG used to be the fist symbol

[junior sequoia]

Btw, it's funny that the invaded DZ symbol is a knife despite not having melee weapons.

[blazing ginkgo]

Oh does anyone know what enemy counts as a fireteam team enemy?

For the journey mission

I only need one more objective complete then I can complete journey 7 so I can get the reward from it

[half karma]

does anyone have any good guides for the manhunts? youtube vids are annoying how they always drag it out

[fickle ravine]

hostile modifier

if you see this symbol on the enemy's head, they're considered part of a fireteam

[blazing ginkgo]

Oh

Any good farming areas I only need 10

[fickle ravine]

they spawn randomly so just find somewhere with a high concentration of enemies

maybe something like lincoln memorial

[strange harbor]

actually I was going through old footage and it was the same 6 years ago, no stripe

[fickle ravine]

actually im pretty sure it was back when we had gear scores and world tier 5 was the endgame, idk why i put "40" in the image

[rough trench]

Mandela effect.

[delicate tartan]

Do we get new content 3 march or 5th?

[rough trench]

3rd.

[steep void]

D2 gold ultimate at 80% sale on steam now wow

[dense basalt]

Ye heard the base game is just $3 on steam

[steep void]

Yeah surprised actually cz after Brooklyn dlc it never gave discount like that

[dire radish]

Not surprising at all.

[devout moss]

Guys, I need to donate inverted leather holster (already donated two holsters from this quest). Im farmin lvl 4 true sons on heroic, but it not dropping, is this bug or just RNG drop?

[delicate tartan]

It might be hard to say but what is the difference when we get realism mode - versus decent, hardcore agent, survivors - similar.....modes

[rough trench]

Nothing similar at all. "Realism mode" is basically "immersive mode", just like Ghost Recon. One shot = one kill, no bullet sponges, no gear sets, no talents, etc.

https://youtu.be/ds22OlcJbiE

[rotund sigil]

Is ruin mask in manhunt now impossible since the GE ended?

[rough trench]

Possible but very hard for the unprepared team.

I mean, you need a very niche specific setup to kill the boss and everyone on your team needs to know what they're doing.

[tough marsh]

hamburger

[rotund sigil]

That’s me nackered

[river vigil]

how does one get the quickstep

[rough trench]

From Mutiny Caches or mini-warhounds if you still have the bounty. Both options are valid until Tuesday.

[river vigil]

where are mutiny caches

I never did the bounty cause I just came back after a long ass break

[delicate tartan]

@rough trench not coop? Ok thanks 🙂

[river vigil]

would you have the bounty per chance

[rough trench]

Stretch Goals.

[rough trench]

Yeah, I have.

[limber dove]

Woag…

[pseudo tundra]

you can either use the #ask-td2-community to clear doubts or #lfg-playstation to find people

oops

just realized we already in the ask channel

so my bad on that one

[white herald]

Bruh!

[pseudo tundra]

sorry the amount of people spamming in every channel asking for matchmaking made it a muscle memory at this point

[white herald]

All good, maybe you should be the one to quick join and talk me through stuff, only be 5 mins

👀

[pseudo tundra]

just shoot the questions

[cyan prism]

how can i extract the status effect attribute? when i swap the tinkering station library category to status effects, the gloves dont show up

[pseudo tundra]

it's from a named item, you cant take their special talent or roll

[sleek cove]

If I recalibrate an items core stat to weapon damage, then save it to loadout 1, and then recalibrate the same item to armor, and save it to loadout 2. Will it go back to weapon damage when I switch to loadout 1?

[blazing ginkgo]

The bounty to get the quickstep pistol what is it called and how do I get it?

[rough trench]

You cannot get it anymore.

[blazing ginkgo]

Really so too late to farm the pistol anymore damn

[junior sequoia]

If you had come like 1 week sooner...

[blazing ginkgo]

Dang

[rough trench]

You still can farm it if you find someone with Bloody Houndsman or the regular Houndsman bounty.

[blazing ginkgo]

Yes well idk if people have it on Xbox

I asked in #lfg-xbox no one responded

[junior sequoia]

Then start matchmaking for bounties, call for backup asking if they have the bounty, go crazy

[pseudo tundra]

nope

[delicate tartan]

Im not sure but Instead of realism mode gameplay - do we get new season, manhunt and other exciting content too?

[rough trench]

Y8S1 comes in April, after the 10th Anniversary season.
https://ubisoft.com/r/TheDivisionShowcase_TuneIn

[delicate tartan]

Ohja. But it wont be only realism mode , if coop i might try - i know twitch drops 3th of march will be released - but what else - stretch goals soon over so...

[rough trench]

The Division 2’s upcoming Anniversary Season will include exclusive and time-limited content only available for this special four-week time period, such as Realism Mode, new gear, and much more.

[delicate tartan]

Hmm , i am excited and impatient 🙂

Do you know if realism mode is coop, matchmake....

[blazing ginkgo]

Fun

[quick orchid]

@slow solar I think it was last night I saw you said something about the cat eat hat its in the store

[clever monolith]

just returned to the game, whats the best way to farm exotics and named gear? seeing i need to update my striker build with equalizer and overdogs

[slim elk]

Countdown and Retaliations if solo

[clever monolith]

what difficulty should i do for countdown?

[slim elk]

matchmake Challenging

[eager inlet]

solo heroic 😉

[clever monolith]

say if i wanna try to get exotic glove so i have set the target loot on countdown to glove right?

[eager inlet]

generally yes. But really depends on the gloves. I would always recommend just getting the blueprints from Retaliation.

[steep void]

u have better luck with hyena retal for overdog with glove target loot

[clever monolith]

how do i unlock retaliations?

[steep void]

see the map it has retal menu, play dua in heroic once and u'll get 1 hyena retal

[paper kiln]

is it worth it to continue progressing? ive started out and are at level 4 already and it just seems kinda boring

[left ravine]

If you find it boring at this stage you better don't progress

[blazing ginkgo]

Lucky for me a level 18000 shd watch guy was doing bounties and I asked in the group if any had the bounty and he did and first try I get the pistol so that was nice he also helped me through so other stuff so wow I’m impressed

Thx for the advice btw

[minor ferry]

Whats the game's latest new content drop?

[bright trail]

Man Brooklyn named bosses are wiping the floor with me

[blazing ginkgo]

I did the whole campaign on challenging which is typically pretty easy but man they must have buffed them or that napalm is just so op for them because damn the amount of times I died on the final boss is crazy

[bright trail]

that purple thing is no joke

is there one or two cps in brooklyne heights?

[blazing ginkgo]

It should be 2

They all have 2 if I remember correctly

[wheat thunder]

Can I still get the quick step pistol or no

[pseudo tundra]

You can get from the bounty if someone still has it

[bright trail]

a frenzied gr9 is a vicious thing

[blazing ginkgo]

U can but it just depends on if someone still has the bounty and is willing to help u farm it

Honestly just match make for bounties and message in the in game chat if anyone has the quickstep bounty

[clever monolith]

is retaliation an efficient way to farm exotic even as solo or its better to find a party to do it

[left ravine]

More players = more NPCS = more loot

[nimble spruce]

It's a bit trickier solo but definitely doable

[left ravine]

The main reason to farm Retaliations is to get the blueprints for exotics so you can craft them instead of relying on exotic drops

In this regard. But generally a good loot farm

[clever monolith]

when i did it solo i couldnt call for backup so i have to lfg for it right?

[left ravine]

Yeah

It's a separate instance from the rest of the open world, that's why ppl can't randomly join you

Would be really neat if it had matchmaking

[bright trail]

i really like brooklyn retaliations but i wish it did not take 2 minutes to get out of safe house

[jovial mica]

can someone confirm this set is bugged sometimes? like when i join countdown i wont get any stack even when i see the marks. i already try to remove 1-2piece and put it back on and still dont get any stacks

[rough trench]

Yes, it's been that way since the PTS.

[jovial mica]

ah shit so i wasted my optimize mats on it..

[rough trench]

The icon usually disappears under certain conditions between encounters, especially after leaving combat. For instance, if you don't manage to build enough stacks during your first encounter and the icon disappears once you leave combat (because all stacks are lost), the next time the icon shows up when you re-enter combat it won't have the stacking bar underneath it.

So your best bet is to try and keep your stacks going without losing them between encounters. Otherwise, once the icon disappears even once, you'll have to re-equip the pieces to get it working properly again. It's purely a UI bug, and CoCo is still stacking normally in the background... but it can be very confusing when you have no visual indication of what's going on.

[jovial mica]

the thing is my dmg numbers never changed in countdown. when i was running tidal base it works all normaly

[shadow isle]

yes the gearset is still bugged; that's why I won't use it until it's fixed. Umbra set had the same problem when first introduced

[jovial mica]

ye sadly i didnt know about that. because i have reinstall the game few weeks ago and thought "oh this set is even more op then 200% striker" thats why i max it out

tbh idc what they are gona announce next week. they should first fix all the problems and dont make loot or bp timegated (like shroud bp). thats most stupid thing they have done. were not talking about cosmetic

[slim elk]

shroud's blueprint is bugged, not "timegated"

[jovial mica]

well then its same thing. fix the problems! im back after 3years pause and the "fragile armor" is still bugged. idk what they are thinking to bring new stuff when old stuff is not working

[minor ferry]

Whats the game's latest new content drop?

[strange harbor]

As a team leader, you have a limited number of software engineers to work on problems.
Bugs are endless. There's no software with no bugs.
There're new features to be developed for new seasons.
So you have to choose which bugs to fix without compromising deadlines for new seasons.
Critical bugs that affect a lot of people get fixed.
Easy to fix bugs get fixed.
Difficult complex bugs that only affect a subset of players (e.g. using fragile armor armor regen) will never get fixed.

There was a season that focused on bug fix (project resolve). Difficult bugs still didn't get fixed because, well, they are difficult. The engineers who created that part of the codebase were long gone by then (development team was once cut down to 5 developers).

By this point, it's something that either you accept it as it is or just don't turn it on

[slow solar]

just need the kitty backpack

[bright trail]

What do i do here?

[slow solar]

can we all band together to ban named quadcopters. esp that mission with two of the damn things at the end. even with 4 people its an absolute mess. there about the only thing I've seen that can oneshot someone through an overcharge shield and max heartbreaker stacks like its nothing.

they don't even drop good loot.

[jovial mica]

ye i know what you mean but cmon if they cant fix its better to remove it instead keep bringing it back just "fragile armor" as expample

btw i just got crashed again in countdown right before extract:D thats another thing they could fix

[strange harbor]

That's one of the hardest missions in the game 🤣
However, if you turn on modifiers, Zealot of that season gives you immortality which makes it a lot easier.

[slow solar]

from what ive had explained to me here. there are dozens of systems that interact and cause the fragile bug. i use memento + refactor + the sac + drones and turrets + capacitor. and the tech spec.

as a result i have eternal buffs. from several different places.

these buffs conflict with the fragile condition. preventing me repairing my armor as a result of buffs that impact my armor. its annoying but not a surprise with sooooo many different things going on that conflicts happen. ive pretty much learned to live without the fragile modifier now. annoying but needed.

[nimble spruce]

Iirc you can run around and find another tunnel that looks into that room through a grate and see a yellow box you can shoot

[bright trail]

Still undergroubd?

[nimble spruce]

Yeah just explore more of those sewer tunnels and check every door

Sometimes flipping a switch in one place unlocks a door nearby

[jovial mica]

its annoying but i still use all directive:D the thing is i dont use memento or so so just determind rifle or mmr build for all directive

[slow solar]

oh it was funny af till we reset six times on legendary. Roosevelt was better. only one of the damn things. still 1 shots anyone it hits. but as long as you dodge your okay.

turret + drone build is actually perfect for it. since you can hide and move cover to cover and not die while the skills do all the work.

[strange harbor]

Nah it's still at least two shots. You can't get oneshotted except some cases like IH sniper alley.

[bright trail]

got it

[bright trail]

which mission is this?

[slow solar]

i wonder if its becuase ive already taken damage then the drone missile gets me?

[strange harbor]

Yup

As soon as you receive one source of damage, oneshot protection gets a cooldown

CD is 30s

[slow solar]

Roosevelt has 1 named on legendary.
pentagon on legendary has 2 named.

[bright trail]

ah. are you matchmaking for legendaries?

[slow solar]

sorry wrong way around lol. Roosevelt has 2. pentagon has 1

[slow solar]

i do from time to time to get the weekly bonuses from the strongholds!

[slow solar]

this is from someone's youtube video but yeah. two named quad's is hell. aparently you can like use a minigun somewhere on that map on them if you can lure them to it. but its right out in the open with zero cover so its dumb af if you dont have cloak gear or something to try and lower you threat so it may not shoot you

[nimble spruce]

You can peek them to minimise the incoming minigun fire, the rockets are the real threat but they make a unique noise and pause for a second before firing one, that's your cue to move away from your spot.

[slow solar]

for sure! the rockets kept oneshoting the people i was playing with the other day. we reset 6 times before we cleared the mission. was absoutely shocked when it killed through full heartbreaker stacks + overcharged shield. we got it at the end since most of us hid and used drones/turrets to deal with it.

[keen sierra]

Old strat we used was to sit in the boat with a heavy tank on the door to block stuff. Then 3 dps just firing at them until the heavy spawned on the boat itself. We'd rush to kill that heavy and then return to the boat

[nimble spruce]

Emp sticky is great for disabling them for several seconds at a time, just don't detonate it immediately

[slow solar]

were you around during the seasonal modifier shown here? i just saw this on reddit and wtf they got regen for 1 season?

[strange harbor]

This is where you go big dps and get the quadcopter down in 2 mag (he's doing one mag in the clip but adjusted for gear, 4-man scaling, 2 mag is doable)

https://youtu.be/xb9-ydxI-EI?t=533

[keen sierra]

Yeah. The strat we used was before this as well.

I still have my dps build i used but nowadays it'd be not very good and people would hate it 😂

[strange harbor]

tactician spec 4x striker, hollowman red core (wrong attribute is fine), last piece ceska, GR9 frenzy

[slow solar]

yeah that seems to be similar to the build they used! but they had a weird ceska with double crit chance

[bright trail]

any idea why cant i make turmoil proficient by donating materials?

[slim elk]

you can't it's a troll item

[vernal radish]

Does anyone know why the echo for the div 1 reference in the Brooklyn dlc won’t spawn in for me?

[bright trail]

really? strange

[slow solar]

are the double roll items a bug? ive seen a few posted here with two of them same stat (like 2x 6% crit chance on the same item) and such.

[strange harbor]

Hollowman is better but if you don't have it, coyote is fine

[strange harbor]

Double crit means crit chance and crit dam

[slow solar]

no so ive seen items here that have literally double crit chance. im not sure how that happens. is it a bug?

[keen sierra]

Sure it's not a gear mod slot?

[slow solar]

sure!

@inner tendoni think you posted one a while ago but i cant find it now?

[strange harbor]

Nah it's not a thing. Either mod slot or brand bonus.

[slow solar]

i have one like that. where it has crit chance 8% on the gear then a 6% crit chance mod.

[strange harbor]

8% is the brand bonus

[slow solar]

yup! i was debating replacing the sacrifice with it.

[strange harbor]

If glass, go sacrifice

[slow solar]

ive been debating the swap since perf glass is absolutely unforgiving. you mess up even once and your dead. dropping glass lets me go upto 150% skill damage from 70%. but drops my total damage by 30%. so im not sure if its worth it.

[strange harbor]

Trust me regular glass is just as unforgiving :))

If dropping glass, you can use wyvern with kinetic momentum

[slow solar]

wyvern wear is the one. + kinetic momentum

[slow solar]

same brain lol. ive been crafting them to get better stats. about 15 so far. this is the best so far. im going to keep making them. trying for skill damage + crit chance.

[strange harbor]

Glass will make you a better player long-term though

[jovial mica]

can habsburg chestpiece with: headshot+headhunter? i have just crafted 100+ and didnt get it

[bright trail]

what is tech efficiency? i.e increasing artificier hive's expertise gives tech efficiency

[slow solar]

the pinned build guide spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice gives you the chances each gear peice will have each stat when found or crafted!

[strange harbor]

Yes but thousands

[slow solar]

#td2-build-advice message this one

[jovial mica]

im not even looking for HS+weapon handling+headhunter... just HS+HH

[eager inlet]

yea but turret+drone makes you worse so it's a +-0 😄

[eager inlet]

welcome to the club. Get back to us after 1000+ crafts 😄

[jovial mica]

all the efort and im not even ssure if its better or not. i just want to test it out😔

[slow solar]

this one?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nrPBmOrtpkEW1j5fbcRT7L-AXgsGOqMqxXoVtopsiGM/edit?gid=195186127#gid=195186127 so it can 100% spawn with headshot damage.

since its a basic.

wait wrong one haha thats the named.

[eager inlet]

generally it's better to just use Chainkiller. If you want Habs unicorns I would rather first get backpack (vigi+hsd) since that pairs better with PGC one shot builds generally.

[jovial mica]

no i want to improve the 1shot sniper build that i have. currently im running 4xhotshot+chainkiller+airaldi.
my goal is to get chestpiece of habsburg. then i can go: 2xhotshot+2x breakpoint+habsburg chestpiece+ninjabike

like i said im not sure if its more dmg or not. thats why i want it to test it:D

[eager inlet]

NBB will be a net loss since you're losing vigi

[jovial mica]

ye i know. but you gain from all other set +1 which gonna balance it. vigi its not always active even in grp. im trying to max it out for legendary

im not even realy losing the weapon handling since i get it from breakpoint+ hotshot

[inner tendon]

It very much does not balance out.

NBB is what we like to refer to as a "newb trap". It looks great at first glance, can even seem good on paper.
But it's crippling basically all builds it's a part of, at least in PvE.

[jovial mica]

i mean dont forget you unlock 2. bonus from habsburg which is 20% mmr dmg

[inner tendon]

You can absolutely get it to work if you are playing on a lower difficulty, and it can even function in Heroic, but after a while, anything will work fine for you in Heroic.

[jovial mica]

nah i dont make it for heroic. for that i have even pistol or rifle. its for legendary but idk how it will be if i dont have it!😡

still missing habsburg chestpiece

[eager inlet]

chainkiller is more damage after first kill... habs (assuming you have 2 habs) is slightly more at max HH stacks... But the difference is negligible.
NBB is not a great pick for PVE, losing backpack talent is bad. And if you're losing vigi that often on a sniper build that you feel like it's not giving you anything then it's a playstyle issue honestly.

If you want properly improved build for leggy, then do chainkiller-2xHabs-2xHotshot-Overdogs (or if you want more consistent damage since overdogs is enemy tier dependant, then go for Contractors or Airaldi)

[slow solar]

i dont know what changed but i dont get bonus armour any more. what did i do taht changed that?

[jovial mica]

noooooo i just wrote it up there what im using

[inner tendon]

play how you find fun, but suggesting a worse version of a build in #td2-build-advice will get questioning looks.

[jovial mica]

ye we get of topic here. i only want to ask if habsburg with HS+HH exist as a roll

[inner tendon]

that was my subtle way of suggesting you hop over to that channel.

[eager inlet]

it does exist... but it's pain to get. My HSD+WH+HH Habs chest is literally collecting dust in my stash lol...

[jovial mica]

since i reinstall the game few weeks ago im trying to get that habsburg chespiece or shroud

after this few weeks im burned out without happy end

[high glade]

That piece isn't required for anything. It's also a giga unicorn. We're talking like 1 in 10,000 or possibly more.

[strange harbor]

Probably not 10k but a few k for sure

[eager inlet]

I got the chest on my 9th craft 😄 (and it's sitting in stash)... Backpacks on the other hand... I think I've crafted easily over 2k and still don't have one with handling, but I do have 2 or 3 vigi+hsd ones with red core so honestly I stopped caring about the handling.

[slow solar]

can you stop hunters hacking your turret? my turret is immune to emp bc of the spec but they still hack it anyway. and being a t6 it wipes the group if that happens in countdown or on that bounty.

[high glade]

Lol yea, possibly a slight exaggeration. Big big RNG unicorn, though.

[jovial mica]

why is that specific gear and roll so rare?? i mean i have never experience a gear piece so hard to get

[strange harbor]

Unfortunately no.

[high glade]

That's wild. I had to craft a bunch just to get HSD and HH. Didn't get any with WH as well that I'm aware of. 😔

[eager inlet]

because it drops/crafts with a blue core. So you need to get talent+hsd to hit in the lottery so that you can reroll core to red.

[eager inlet]

friend of mine said "join on me to craft, I swear it brings luck if you're with others"... 9th freaking craft lmao 😄

[high glade]

Invite me next time. 🤣

[jovial mica]

at the end its still just 2 thing you need. instead of 2 +talent

[eager inlet]

will do!

[high glade]

It's one of those brands that rolls a lot of blue and yellow attributes.

[jovial mica]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/600754034001051679.gif?size=96&quality=lossless

[inner tendon]

Yeah sorry, no gifs on the server.

[jovial mica]

😔

[slow solar]

upside at least is dropping glass i dont instantly melt under heavy fire haha

[inner tendon]

@high glade to be fair, pieces are weighted to roll the same as their primary core.
which is why unicorn rolls are so unicorny.

we used to refer to it as "rainbow protection".

[high glade]

Funny thing about that. UA is broken in that regard lol.

[inner tendon]

Remeber that "weighted" doesn't mean "always will". It's just heavier RNG to do it.

you can have a weird streak of luck where you get nothing but the wrong colour.

[jovial mica]

try out those 1shot builds. you will see 26mil+ (just with rifle)

[high glade]

I don't think it's properly coded compared to some other sets. I farmed several trying to get some good Equalizer pieces. I would say about 75% minimum were all blue and yellow attributes. 😂

[slow solar]

so im fine to keep upgrading my main skills right?

[strange harbor]

Yeah drone turret expertise is fine. Just don't use them on hunters.

[inner tendon]

I actually had to farm out a set this week after Average tricked me into loving the "giant elmo mag" build.

Got almost nothing but headshot damage for the entire farm.

[slow solar]

yeah gonna stop upgrading the gear haha. def costs a fortune now.

ewwww

[high glade]

Is that just 3 piece UA? And then whatever else obviously.

[strange harbor]

The attributes offer the same % skill damage as expertise too. Don't forget to optimize/recal those.

[inner tendon]

1pc+equalizer+salvo+grupo+overdogs+ceska vigi!

[high glade]

Gotcha. Sounds about right.

[inner tendon]

with an absolutely terrible bp (like seriously, wh+hsd as locked rolls) it's annoying how good the set-up is.

[high glade]

Them shock rounds go brrrt.

[slow solar]

what stats do i want. i need skill damage for sure. but for the second slot?

[strange harbor]

It's whatever. Skill haste offers a small amount of benefit. Some people even put crit in it.

[civic junco]

Why does this game taunt me so

[slow solar]

does new york feel easier to anyone then base game areas? like the hostiles i mean?

[delicate tartan]

What exotics can drop from countdown?

[limber dove]

pretty much anything besides the raid exotics

you can check the spreadsheet, anything that says "targeted loot" as source can drop from countdown

also anything with LZ i beleive

[delicate tartan]

Lz?

[limber dove]

lightzone - non pvp stuff

[delicate tartan]

I need scorpio, overlord :).

I wonder long time no retaliation gameplay can it not be a matchmake where i can joyn random groups. There should be a posibilty to join retaliation matchmake random group button 🙂

[bright trail]

Blueprints not the weapon itself and crafting requires plentyautomated defense systems or whatever it is called

[delicate tartan]

Weapon drop, can reconstruct atrributes

[bright trail]

Yes it is much cheaper to rerolll than craft from scratch

[delicate tartan]

🙂

It dropped sweet dreams , i want overlord

[wanton frost]

What’s the best way to farm for exotics I just got to “endgame” just trying to get some stuff

[delicate tartan]

Countdown

Eh some master manhunt missions maybe,

[bright trail]

The comma you get from countdowns and the priority objectives

[wanton frost]

ty ty ty

[slow solar]

good blueprint?

[civic junco]

If you don't have it

[inner tendon]

Its a fun gun, not a great gun.

[civic junco]

Bullet King has it worth

[inner tendon]

It's fantastic as a really gaudy paperweight.

[slow solar]

ive been farming the bounties to get materials and money to make named blueprints. so far i have about 50 named blueprints worth of mats. is it worth farming out those blueprints? im only missing about 200 blueprints. so i think the rest are cleaners/rikers ex and named.

[inner tendon]

@violet crystal You can only share loot if you obtained it whilst in the same group, within a set amount of time.

[slow solar]

good lord that was a mess.

[slow solar]

what decides if a hostile gets an armor kit? this guy kept using them 🙁

[solar glacier]

Probably a dumb question, doing the weekly project. But is "capitol mission" just the stronghold? Or am I dumb?

[slow solar]

it is yeah,

[solar glacier]

Awesome! Thank you!

[slow solar]

well time to go bankrupt again.

cold relations
and a cap'n blueprint

[snow cargo]

@spring sleet ask your question here. I don't do 1 on 1 really.

[bright trail]

Why you want to do that

[snow cargo]

I hate you

[slow solar]

ive been building the chaches haha.

[bright trail]

But named items come out of those caches

[slow solar]

blueprints for named items.

[solar glacier]

@snow cargo is that you drifting that BMW homie? Car is cleaaan

[snow cargo]

Yea.

[solar glacier]

Sheeeesh heck yeah dude

[limber dove]

i always knew you were like this...

[mellow trout]

He's never escaping the pro player allegations

No matter how average he may seem

[slow solar]

rugged gauntlets any good?>

[slim elk]

hell naw

[strange harbor]

not used in anything

[slow solar]

damn it, more junk

[inner tendon]

Getting a blueprint is never junk, because it doesn't take up room, and you never know for later.

[mellow trout]

One more blueprint you don't want is one less blueprint you could get instead of the one you do want

[slow solar]

true and only 199 left of 200 now or whatever i need haha.

[slow solar]

im hoping to get all the good ones. i expect at some point they will rebalance all the trash again it seems they do a balance pass every so often.

[limber dove]

i just want overdogs bp :(

[slow solar]

i got that at last and made them and really just didnt like them haha but they take a lot of THONK to use.

[limber dove]

i want to thonk...

but idk im usually pretty thonked out ;-;

[civic junco]

There a reason you can't decontruct the Stack Brokers?

[slow solar]

there not suposed to take any space but there buggy. some take none. some do.

[slow solar]

when i get home from work i dont wanna thonk at all haha

[slow solar]

@mellow trout
:3 😆

@limber dove

[limber dove]

so close!

[slow solar]

oh i already made one haha

[limber dove]

oh lmao

are you just taunting me... :((

[slow solar]

wtf. the blueprint for the weird af threat reduction item i got the other day.

[slow solar]

203 blueprints left to go

[slow solar]

@nocturne siren you around? need something ❤️

[bright trail]

You can convert broken watches to automated defense parts

Expensive though

[slow solar]

oh yeah i already did that and made overdogs haha. was needing truck for something else!

[slow solar]

ive been using them on these

[slow solar]

damn. dropping gc was worth it.

[jovial mica]

can my teammates benefit of this talent?

[strange harbor]

No

[slow solar]

if it does it will always be explicitly stated. this is for refactor.

typically "you and your allies" is how it will be worded for example.

[jovial mica]

oh well the reason why i ask is just, sometime i see the marker even when im not using strega

[slow solar]

from memory if you shoot something but then a skill or other person kills it. some of those abilites still trigger.

eg if i shoot something then finish it with my turret it still get my 15% amour from my emalines guard.

[jovial mica]

ye i know its about the killing blow. but its just weird that i can see the markers when im not using the gun. that made me think those enemies takes extra dmg from me too even without using strega

[slow solar]

i hateee this weather.

[jovial mica]

yep its just stupid to have like desert storm. i hate it so much

[inner tendon]

DC is built over a swamp, as someone who lives on built over marsh ground, the weather be wonky

[slow solar]

was worth risking the storm

[slow solar]

here this is a gear tallent i just picked as an example.

[slow solar]

this is a full party one

[jovial mica]

ye i read strega again it, doesnt even say all sources or allies

[proper drift]

after a 'short' hiatus, made it to the endgame at WT1, any tips on where to go from here? the whole map is red so i will probably start with that

[nocturne siren]

I work daily with very little time off. I do try to keep up where I can but definitely expect delays. What's up?

[slow solar]

can you throw me one when you get a chance? #td2-clan-recruitment message

[nocturne siren]

Clan is open, just search up "LOST SOULS ORG" in clans on div 2. As for the server invite link, I can shoot it to you

[slow solar]

sounds good!

[nocturne siren]

You'll have to open messages briefly. I can't send invite links

Will result in me getting in trouble here

[slow solar]

done. i had them off as i got a few unsavory messages the last week or so from this server.......

[nocturne siren]

I did the same thing don't worry

Sent 💯

[slow solar]

good lord my game strokes out when i open the bounty tab now. what the hell

when do these go away?

[fickle ravine]

when you complete them

[slow solar]

LOL

[tacit plover]

bro stopped glitching as soon as everybody started to vote

[rustic gate]

Is there a way to farm exotics easily cause I can't drop St elmo engine and im getting mad 😭 please 🙂

[fickle ravine]

matchmake challenging countdown, set targeted loot to assault rifle, and pray harder to RNGesus

[rustic gate]

[warm salmon]

exotic caches from countdown too

[vapid nest]

@inner tendon There actually is a skateboard backpack, lmfao wtf.

[unique jetty]

To put things into expertise I have to mark it as junk then donate all junk right ?

[warm salmon]

Yep

[unique jetty]

Thx and one more question what’s better upgrading total health or defense in the SHD

[warm salmon]

You'll get them both eventually

[dire radish]

Those defensive skills are all moot, but probably get extra armor first.

[unique jetty]

Where can I go to upgrade my skills / abilities

[fickle ravine]

@nocturne siren hello, is your clan still open? i would like to join

[vital hornet]

not sure if this is the right place to ask but since im on PC now and transfered from console I dont have any of my stuff anymore. Is anyone able to help carry me around and help me get my build going?

[fickle ravine]

#lfg-pc is the right place to ask

[vital hornet]

ah sorry ddint see that

[bright trail]

Quartermaster on the left when you enter white house

[limber dove]

They’re making friends

[unique jetty]

I don’t see it I can onlu see specialization

Are there any downsides to getting a boosted character ?

[mellow trout]

No achievements

Or rather limited achievements

[civic junco]

What does that even mean though as I bounce between my leveled character and boosted ones all the time

[fickle ravine]

you can't earn some achievements normally earned in DC on your boosted character, but if you switch to your normally leveled character you can earn those achievements

[left ravine]

#ask-td2-community message

[torn musk]

It might seem a silly question, but are the attributes of weapons count only for the particular weapon being used? I mean let's say I use an AR as a primary and an SMG as a secondary, that I do not use. There is a 10% CHD attribute on the SMG. Is that count only when I swap to SMG or all weapon attributes count in the build regardless of which weapon I use in the moment? I know talents are strictly separated.

[fickle ravine]

separate

[limber dove]

Beeg horn… what is this guy good for

[left ravine]

PvP

[limber dove]

aw is that it

[clear island]

I also use it in pve but clearly more useful in PvP

[nocturne siren]

Seen and heard, yes it is still open. Look up "LOST SOULS ORG" in clans on PC, it's free to join

If you need an invite into the server hub, I can privately slide that to you

[nocturne siren]

Not exactly, build a high end Unit Alloys build for it. The mag size and crits are immaculate

[main hemlock]

guys any of u will help me on division 1

ik its wrong server but can u?

holy airball

[fickle ravine]

Sure

[fickle ravine]

there's a td1 channel
#td1-general

and #td1-lfg

[sterile echo]

Hoe to switch on water in boss mission?

[pseudo tundra]

If you miss your opportunity you either have to deal a lot of damage to reset it every 10% armor bar or just restart the fight

[unique jetty]

Ah that makes sense outside of that I won’t be like weaker of limited in any way ?

[limber dove]

Oh I have one of those

[oak wedge]

First time playing, this game hard to understand a lil

[slim elk]

oh wait I didn't read that right

[rare parcel]

anyone know a fix for the 'all crafting conditions are not met'...?

[slim elk]

for what item?

[rare parcel]

sheriff

[slim elk]

I think that's a known bug

[rare parcel]

is there a work around or do i just need to wait for ubi to fix it..?

[left ravine]

Have a Mosquito pistol in your inventory

[slim elk]

oh that's the missing part?

[rare parcel]

how does that help...?

[left ravine]

Just do it, trust

[wispy merlin]

whomst'd've pinged me

[pseudo tundra]

somehow that fix the issue

[mossy flame]

does anyone have full black dye from hunters ?

[left ravine]

Yes, why do you ask?

[last halo]

whats the best way to farm loot and levels well? i remember tctd 1 had those limitless missions that were great for loot and xp farming

[wispy tundra]

Do anybody know how to get the overdog gloves

[fickle ravine]

loot = challenging countdown with targeted loot of your choice
levels = level 4 control point with 4-5 directives (preferably when there is a xp multipler event)

[last halo]

countdown with targeted?

where do i find something like that

[fickle ravine]

are you not level 40 yet

[last halo]

hahaha... uhhhh no

[fickle ravine]

get to level 40 first, basically nothing matters until then

[last halo]

sounds good thank you

[fickle ravine]

hyena retaliation for blueprint is the fastest
you could also try countdown with gloves targeted loot but it's rather rare

[fading canopy]

hey everyone. im looking for some people to help me with finishing latest manhunt. im on the last one need people to matchmake with me. im low at 851 but any help would be great. my ubisoft id is Canad1anBatman

Ah ok thx

[fickle ravine]

#lfg-pc

[fading canopy]

i forgot to mention pc sorry

[vapid saffron]

So I got the Shroud exotic from Countdown, but the girl at the WH isn't selling the BP for configuring it. Anyone else encounter this problem?

[fickle ravine]

known bug

[vapid saffron]

Im assuming its been going on for a while and ubi has dont nothing to fix?

[fickle ravine]

yes

[vapid saffron]

love it

[fickle ravine]

same problem with overdogs

i lucked out when i managed to craft one with max crit rolls

meant i only had to optimize it like 3 times

[narrow kraken]

does anyone know what is this weapon? im new to game and saw this on a youtube video. i wonder how can i get this

[slim elk]

looks like M700 Tactical

[left ravine]

It's the Carbon, difference is the stock and accessory rail

[slow solar]

@uncut ibex 😢 way too many lol. game full on strokes out.

[uncut ibex]

Did you do nothing but hunt Hounds for 2 weeks?

[left ravine]

How about you do some for a change instead of complaining daily? 😂

[slow solar]

no but i ran into quite a few when i was grinding blueprints.

[left ravine]

M700 Carbon, farm targeted loot set to Marksman Rifles

[narrow kraken]

thank u guys ill check it out

[slim elk]

I could've sworn I saw Tactical there

[left ravine]

This is Tactical

[slim elk]

shit I see it now

[left ravine]

Basically the same anyway, just minor difference in stability or so

[pseudo tundra]

i dont blame people for getting some of those mixed ups

[left ravine]

True, there are so many across the board

[slow solar]

why am i a magnet for these damn things? spawned literally over my head right as i finished a bounty.

[left ravine]

Clear the weekly invaded missions and stronghold

[slow solar]

i have several times on legandary 🙁 all 4 of them infact 🙁 its why this is so annoying to me. idk why they hate me

[left ravine]

You're missing DUA and that road block

@hasty axle check if you have it already

[slow solar]

@left ravine should be good now right?

[left ravine]

Yeah they should not spawn anymore until Tuesday

[fading canopy]

hey everyone. im looking to finish the manhunt. im on the last step. im only a lvl 851 and hadnt been able to get anyone to matchmake with me till today and they had it on master and we were not able to complete it. i would like to know if anyone will do it with me on normal or hard. i may be able also do challenging but thats it. my ubisoft id is canad1anbatman and im playing on pc.

[left ravine]

We have a #lfg-pc channel for that, if you can't find anyone try the GCROCK discord. GL

[fading canopy]

thanks

[left ravine]

We were both wrong I think 😂

[slim elk]

that one looks badass ngl

[left ravine]

It does

[slow solar]

@strange harbor yo wtf talk about meeting your div 2 heros haha.

lol i didnt do too badly.

[strange harbor]

oh lol

[slow solar]

so did i do badly or not haha

[strange harbor]

I definitely feel the heal

💯

[slow solar]

yay i didnt know if it was decent heals or not tbh

[slow solar]

i always scoop my turret when i move that way i keep the dps with me. and keep the drone up as much as i can. i typically try and reset between areas so my drones never down more then a few seconds ❤️

[coarse dust]

I bought the DLCs and when I logged into the game I collected everything from the stash, but I don't see the cosmetics anywhere. Does anyone know where to find them?

[slim elk]

Esc > Apparel

[coarse dust]

They're not here :S

[slow solar]

steam? can take upto 24h to move over to ubisoft. ive had that problem a few times. i bought two packs yesterday. took till this morning to show up on my account.

sometimes restarting steam ubisoft and the game fixes it

[coarse dust]

Oh ok ❤️

[left ravine]

Did you also check your apparel section?

striker frenzy showcase

[unique jetty]

How can I get max crit dmg mods easily ?

[slim elk]

you can't get them easy, you have to grind for them

[unique jetty]

I meant like what’s the best way to get them ?

[slim elk]

you won't like the answer

[unique jetty]

lol

Is it grind for them ?

[slim elk]

Legendary F10 Summit cheesing

[unique jetty]

Oh jeez i mean I’ve been following the guide and have a full set striker already with one piece missing perfect stats

Maybe I can handle it maybeee

[unique jetty]

Can I learn to craft perfect mods ?
Also is summit best way to get exotics ?

[slim elk]

perfect rolls are rare, you can't force them to show up

not really, Priority Objectives (with Exotic Item as reward) and Exotic caches are way better

[slow solar]

any of these blueprints good?

doing well at least

196 to go

[pseudo tundra]

TDI kard

the pistol gives you one extra skill tier while holding

[bright trail]

Kingbreaker is a good lexingron alternative

Test subject is a good in skill builds, can be used if you dont have harmony

[slow solar]

would it be better then my current secondary?

[bright trail]

Kingbreaker is good in certain builds. I use it in my heartbreaker built for flatline

[left ravine]

Slow firing, meh

[left ravine]

Don't use two weapons of the same type. Either Capacitator or Test Subject

[bright trail]

The issue with test subject is it is an AR

[left ravine]

Especially since you'll be not doing much damage, you will be shooting a lot. Try getting a Harmony rifle

[slow solar]

damn

[left ravine]

Talent is also Perfect In Sync

[bright trail]

Same with Harmony except Harmony is a rifle

[slow solar]

yeah. where would i get this?

[left ravine]

DZ, named item caches or just get the blueprint

[strange harbor]

with test subject you can just spray and pray it hits something

[bright trail]

The huntsma bounty was dropping it

Ok i need advice from people who regularly clear heroic retaliations

[left ravine]

Yeah true, mini warhounds drop them too. Now you have a reason to finally do them instead of complaining they're lagging out your game :p

[bright trail]

I either play defensive and run out of time or pkay agressive and die

[left ravine]

Run into them, take them out as they come

Unless they spawn behind you, f that, keep running

[slow solar]

yeah with a skill build there extremely difficult.

[bright trail]

They spawn from all corners there is always someone beind

[bright trail]

Turret and drone kills them instantly

[slow solar]

not the drones the stupid hunter lol.

[bright trail]

Oh yeah

[strange harbor]

play in a group? Plenty of people LFG for retal on chat

[left ravine]

What? The drones annihilate the mini-warhounds

[bright trail]

No the issue is not finishing them i want to solo them

[slow solar]

the huntsman hacks your drone/turret. the drones are nothing haha. there not the issue.

[bright trail]

Yeah hundtmsn is impossible with skill

[left ravine]

Well you tried to say "they're extremely difficult" so I responded to that :p

Yeah no, don't engage hunters with deployable skills

[strange harbor]

I mean I just run it like regular missions, use cover and decoy. I never run out of time.

[bright trail]

I can finish all missions in heroic but struggle big time with retals

[left ravine]

What was your highest spare time count at the end? 😄

[strange harbor]

I don't keep track

[left ravine]

Haha alright

@bright trail if you wanna run some, invite me

Was farming them earlier anyway

[bright trail]

I am not at my pc now but maybe in 2 hours if you are around?

[left ravine]

Could work, just let me know

[strange harbor]

I can dm a vid of how I do it with striker if you want

[bright trail]

Yes please

[slow solar]

RIP. may need to set up striker again.

[left ravine]

Should be in your loadouts anyway ^^

[strange harbor]

wooo, he's brutal, striker or not you will still have a bad time, maybe slightly less bad

[left ravine]

Pestilence works nicely

Gotta watch out a bit more with PGC

[slow solar]

how do loadouts work.

[left ravine]

Press H

New menu will pop up. It shows existing loadouts. You can also save new ones and overwrite exising ones. If you do that, make sure you don't use your mouse and just your keyboard. There is a bug that prevents the game from saving/overwriting loadouts when you move your mouse

[slim elk]

Every loadout also saves different mods. So say your Ceska chest has a CHD mod, you save it in a loadout and when you go and save the same chest but with a CHC mod, it will change between loadouts

[strange harbor]

@slow solar Tip: the overwrite key usually bugs out, mouse click to Overwrite works flawlessly

[left ravine]

Or don't use mouse and just keyboard :p

Very weird bug tho

[limber dove]

If you’re grinding for a certain named item it’s faster to not fight the huntsman

[civic junco]

Doesn't happen often, but this week I did it. Not just another Bronze week lol.

[coral torrent]

hey, does pulse pass the criteria as a ''status effect'' or does it have to be a hazard.. specifically im asking if it'll toggle wicked

[slow solar]

damn like the 4th chatterbox haha

[mellow trout]

it does not

[tidal mango]

Question for anyone who knows, what shirt is this dude wearing? I've been looking for it for ages but can never find the name so i can find out if its something i missed that might be back or what

[strange harbor]

Emp and banshee pulses are status effect

[left ravine]

Agent Yeong-Ja shirt. I want it in the store so bad 😄

[tidal mango]

MAN 💔, hopefully it comes back this Tuesday, that or the recruiter outfit 🙏🏻

[left ravine]

Maybe get vocal about it here:
https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/1380194318786232360

Or twitter and tag the devs

[slow solar]

after you hit shd level 999 does it all go into salv?

[coral torrent]

is flatline multiplicative

[clever fjord]

Yes

[clever fjord]

Also yes

[loud flame]

hello i have completed 36 floors now and i still havent gotten this project completed, what do i do?

[slow solar]

What is this? i just hit a territory control and 3 named bosses spawned

[night siren]

you just finished daily.

[inner tendon]

In case anyone's confused: the twitch drops mentioned aren't going to be active for just the stream, they'll be for at least a week or two after it.
just watch any applicable streamer and you'll be all good to get the stuff.

[paper kiln]

is this game like one of those games where it gets better at the endgame?

[delicate tartan]

Ofcourse harder, a lot of fun

[paper kiln]

is there plenty of endgame content?

maybe thousands?

[delicate tartan]

Raid. Manhunt, global events, legendary, master missions, countdown heroic, summit legendary, colaboration events, 1 incursion mission, a lot of more, cant remember everything hehe

Since its 10 years watch livestream on twitch tomorrow 6 pm CET. Dont have link available now.

Shd level progression, weekly projects, optimizing builds, black tusk invasions......

Decent, exspertise system, specialization weapons, skill, Dark Zone, controll points....

[paper kiln]

hows the player status?

[queen warren]

Hello everyone. I just started playing a week ago. Im wondering if its still possible to get the quickstep pistol? If so how?

[narrow kraken]

hello, im new to game and want to play countdown but cant see it. What should i do?

Do i need to complete new york missions to unlock?

[pseudo tundra]

Green thing on pentco power plant

[narrow kraken]

oh thanks

[delicate tartan]

@paper kiln 6k. It increased alot since several months - it has been 1-2k. Division 1 has increased to 1-2 k before it was a bit lower then 1k

[pseudo tundra]

Player numbers are hard to track since we only access to it on steam that was released years later, not on consoles, ubi launcher or epic

[delicate tartan]

I forgot to say its on steam

It gives indications of pupularity if number increase or decrease

[steep void]

we finally gonna break all time peak when update drops tomorrow

[rough trench]

Delta-03 incoming in 3... 2... 1...

[blazing ginkgo]

Question so on ps4 I have a exotic cache that’s level 30 and it says it will drop the st Elmo’s which I think it’s nice since like best exotic ar in the game for free(in my opinion) anyways will I be able to level it up to level 40 once I hit 40 or will it forever be at lvl 30?

[junior sequoia]

Usually you should get the blueprint once you acquire it, and use this reconfigure blueprint to make it level 40.

[blazing ginkgo]

Ahhh okay thank you

[limber dove]

Chat what’s the best way to farm a yellow attribute setup, targeting its brand in countdown?

[bright trail]

yes or you can craft them as you only need to hit 1 attribute

[limber dove]

But I need 2 if I want it to be perfect 😔 an that’s a good point I haven’t checked if I have the bp yet

[bright trail]

all come with skill +1 and if you dont like you can reconfigures its attribute

[limber dove]

Hapsburg is blue core by default

[bright trail]

i thought he wanted a skill build

[limber dove]

Yes, the setup has perfect opportunist which is good for a FI build. But it drops with a blue core. So if I want all my attributes and cores to be pretty and yellow I need a setup to drop with 2 yellow attributes (and hopefully not skill damage)

Aw can you not get setup bp

[pseudo tundra]

well people thpought you were just looking for yellows for the library not the actual piece called Setup

[limber dove]

I don’t see it in the crafting station

[mellow trout]

Used to be obtainable from CP chests, not sure if it still is

[pseudo tundra]

thats what grinding an unicorn is

[limber dove]

But my question was “What’s the best way to farm a yellow attribute setup” ;-;

[limber dove]

Hmmm gotcha

I will do research

[mellow trout]

If it isn't you're gonna have to get it through reconstructed caches

[pseudo tundra]

Well setup sounded more like the regular word instead of named, at least thats how i read it

[limber dove]

How dare you disparage my goat The SetUp™ like that…

[limber dove]

What the freak is a reconstructed cache

Do I finally have to talk with Wally about the program

[mellow trout]

You can craft them with retaliation mats now

So not necessarily

[limber dove]

Do I have to find the bp for that somewhere

Wait I found, it’s hiding

[green cedar]

It's been three years since I've touched the game and thought I'd see how it's holding now that the 10 year anniversary is hitting. Is there anything that one would recommend me getting? I don't know what this Battle for Brooklyn is, for example. And is there anything good in this latest season pass? Do I even have the time to finish it if I start now and only play casually?

[left ravine]

BfB is a new dlc. Season ends tomorrow and therefore you won't have time to finish the current pass

[warm salmon]

Base game is fine, DLC isn't necessary to get to the endgame
Not unless you can somehow grind that much in like 16 hours

[green cedar]

Aside from the base game, is there anything that stands out that has come out in the last 3 years? I basically had full optimised builds for everything back then.

[green cedar]

Ouch. Guess the season pass is a no no

[left ravine]

Several new brand and gear sets, exotics, new game modes

Battle for Brooklyn is worth it tho

[green cedar]

Is it a completely new campaign or can I use my character?

[left ravine]

You can still use your old one of course

[green cedar]

Cool

[warm salmon]

If you have a Striker build, there's new stuff that's like single digit percent better

[left ravine]

Stronger yes, better is relative. They play differently

[green cedar]

I had like 5 different red builds

I think one was Strikers

I think I mostly played with Negs

As well as some Regulus HH build.

[warm salmon]

You just missed the companion

[green cedar]

Companion?

[left ravine]

This season gave you an NPC companion

[warm salmon]

Well not really, you have like 16 hours to play with him
It's a true sons guy that helps you out

[green cedar]

Oh, a temporary companion?

[left ravine]

Yes

[green cedar]

Oh well. I suppose that's sad but I can live with that.

Would be worse losing some permanent limited feature.

[left ravine]

Well you didn't miss much tbh, but that's subjective. Seems plenty of players liked it, the ones that usually play solo

[warm salmon]

There's the pistol that gives you 20% movement speed, also Lexington is obtainable by everyone now
And raid exotics are obtainable outside raids now(at an incredibly low chance)

[left ravine]

They don't know of Lexington

[green cedar]

I don't know what the Lexington is.

Good weapon, I assume?

I'm writing this down, by the way. Things that I might need to farm.

[left ravine]

It's a police M4 archetype special named AR with 5% more base damage. It's totally replaceable

[warm salmon]

Pretty good, used to be limited to veteran players from div1 iirc

[left ravine]

Hang on

[limber dove]

Can’t farm Lexington

At least in about 16 hours you won’t be able to until the end of the next season

[green cedar]

I doubt I'd be able to land one with good rolls then.

[left ravine]

You will want to bookmark this:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/12Su_etkf41V0BPIdI58drnGg0XSrxDmLdz4MEbrBqSY/edit?usp=drivesdk

You won't be familiar with the name iKia yet but you will be. He made this timeline guide about gear

[warm salmon]

Oh yeah, stretch goals at the end of a season, really grindy but good stuff
Just farm season xp after reaching lvl 100 of the season pass

[green cedar]

Unless it already has perfect rolls

I don't think I remember iKia

I remember Raucey, for example

[left ravine]

I know how you feel, came back last summer after a three year break as well

[green cedar]

How hard is it to farm a Lex?

[warm salmon]

Depends on how much RNG likes you but overall pretty grindy
At least you don't have to grind for perfect attributes since it always comes with max attributes and DTOOC

[green cedar]

Which mode can we get it from?

[pseudo tundra]

stretch goal caches that you have only a couple of hours to get

well that + luck of course

it's an event weapon it comes and goes

[green cedar]

Stretch goal caches meaning season pass. Bleh

[warm salmon]

It's only really just 5% more damage over a police m4, you're not missing out on much

[green cedar]

To be fair, I just like its visuals

I don't use the police m4 because I don't like how it looks. I use the Famas and others because of it

[left ravine]

Two very different ARs tho

[green cedar]

Aye

[blazing ginkgo]

Yea so after season pass 100 u don’t have to buy the season pass just have to get 100 then just grind from their but it’s double xp so literally do priority objectives with the most rewarding activities for season xp and you will get tons of xp

[left ravine]

You'll get your chance again to grind for Lexington, Turmoil and Caretaker

Oh and Stack Broker

[green cedar]

Oh well.

[left ravine]

There are more important things to farm for anyway

[green cedar]

I'm already overwhelmed by how much I have to click everywhere but have forgotten how

And it seems I even have about 1500 levels to pick for my SHD

Oh, I never picked them because I had capped everything

Wait

How is Keener alive? Why is he down here?

[blazing ginkgo]

Oh ummm how much time do you have

Because I have a great lore video you can watch that explains everything

[green cedar]

Until the 19th of this month

[blazing ginkgo]

Great the go watch ngn

Literally search for ngn division lore and their should be one that covers everything from the first game to year 6 season 1 if im not mistaken

[green cedar]

Thanks

[blazing ginkgo]

But he does have other videos for all the seasons not covered in the video

[green cedar]

I think the last thing I did ingame was kill Lao

[tidal mango]

Yo question, heartbreaker or striker? Im currently running a catharsis striker build but looking to have more options ✌🏻

[warm salmon]

it's fun to get a shitload of armor from hb

[tidal mango]

Yeah I'll see people go nuts with it on heroic countdown

[gleaming kelp]

Any reason Im not getting double seasonal xp anymore?

[warm salmon]

it has 100 level cap

[gleaming kelp]

Im season rank 340 and it just stopped so idk if that’s correct

[left ravine]

Btw watch mules aren't a thing anymore

[tidal mango]

Pretty sure the double xp thing was just an event thats ending either today (so already ended) or tomorrow when the anniversary season drops

[green cedar]

Oh, so we can't do runs anymore on other characters?

[gleaming kelp]

It end in 14h, should still be active

[left ravine]

No, you can do other characters ofc. But you can no longer level up a character and use its watch points, rinse and repeat

[green cedar]

Depressing

[blazing ginkgo]

Correct

Well yea what the other dude said

[tidal mango]

Your game might be bugged then? Best thing i can think of

That or you did hit some type of cap and it was delayed

[green cedar]

I've been checking and it seems most of my builds are still or very close to BiS, aside from Lexington

Red builds still mostly revolve around grupo, ceska and so on

[gleaming kelp]

Well damn lol

[green cedar]

Pity I don't have time to get the Lex, I only use the Carbine 7 and others over the M4 because I dislike how it looks

[left ravine]

It's just as good pretty much.

[green cedar]

The Strikers build is one of the biggest changes. Chest becomes a new thing, gloves become a new exotic

[left ravine]

Yup

[green cedar]

My old striker uses the Ceska chestpiece with Coyotes

[left ravine]

Still very good

[warm salmon]

That's still decent. Overdogs needs an entire playstyle change

[green cedar]

Is there any specific build that current stands out? Well, builds, for red, yellow and blue

Blue is usually for raid so whatever.

[warm salmon]

There's the new gear set that's used with Pesti

I forgot Tinkerer, lets you put 2 talents on your gun

[green cedar]

Pestilence with Overdogs, I see

[blazing ginkgo]

Is overdogs a random loot drop or is it master mission drop

[warm salmon]

it was seasonal but since the season is ending it's probably coming to the pool, cmiiiw

[green cedar]

Thank you for the help, everyone.

[rough trench]

It's in the general TL pool.

[green cedar]

Perhaps they'll extend Lex for the 10 year celebration

[blazing ginkgo]

Maybe

[limpid sequoia]

i have 5 lexingtons

one with killer, measured, strained, flatline, and streamline

[bright trail]

there is a brooklyn boss i think sierra is his name. heavily armored with a beam line weapon. he breaks my skill6 shield supported by artificer hive with one shot, never seen anything like that

normal heavies with mahicne guns cant break it even with constant fire

[pseudo tundra]

beam line weapon?

[bright trail]

it is a strange weapon , like a silenced sound "thud" and then a beam of light, hence the name

he rapid fires 2 or 3

[left ravine]

Nailgun lol

[pseudo tundra]

honest to god no clue what you are talking about

oh

thought by the name it was a BT

if he's a riker thne yeah it's a weirdo super powered nailgun

[inner tendon]

He's 100% in the brooklyn named boss rotation, I tried the 30min farm for the Catalyst one weekend when I was bored. Saw him a few times.

[left ravine]

Rikers chungas have nailguns @bright trail

The named ones can rapid fire them and melt your shield, better to stay in cover instead of using your shield unless you have a dedicated build against elites

[bright trail]

nail gun whatever. he one shots me with anyother build

[left ravine]

Cover is your friend

[bright trail]

yeah but you gotta fire at some point

[left ravine]

Shoot through the peephole in their shield

[bright trail]

i could not get that much close, i thought my gr9 would break his shield like others

[left ravine]

If they get close you usually lose. Distance is important

[inner tendon]

or the red bits on the shield itself

[pseudo tundra]

Can hit the gas tubes from the front if you his through the glass

[left ravine]

Foam or other status effects will help you stun lock them

[inner tendon]

throw a nade behind them too, they turn around like a moron

[left ravine]

If you can, shoot the tanks on their back

[inner tendon]

alternative, just put enough lead in them to kill the shield from sheer brute force

very satisfying, if not economical

[bright trail]

does not work, if you fire him more than 2 seconds you are dead

he does not stagger, can't exchange fire

need to fire from behind etc..

[inner tendon]

he has to reload

its best to see div2 as a cover based tactical shooter, with some arcade elements.
you step out in a firefight, you are going to die.

[bright trail]

whoever desgined brooklyn safehouses probably must never do retaliations. dude, i want got get out of house, that is the only thing i need. just make it one room

[inner tendon]

You have 6 blues and the giant shield with tanky stats? Position bad and you die.

[left ravine]

Running inside safe houses should be default by now. You can lose up to 30 seconds of time in certain safe houses during Retaliations

[mellow mauve]

Drone. Turret. Let them lay waste to whatever enemy seeks to peak at your Majesty

[bright trail]

yeah drone turret cuts him like knife through butter

[inner tendon]

you can also throw a decoy to the side and they act like a moth to a lamp.

[bright trail]

the issue is my 16 expertise fully optimized st elmos can't do a dent with 70 mags, even if hyou put decoy he turns back to you as sson as you start firing him

[inner tendon]

Your gun alone is not the factor here (nor is the Expertise but that's another thing).

Try posting your build over in #td2-build-advice and we'll give you a hand.

[bright trail]

my builds are pretty solid, the game play not so much

[bright trail]

i found a consistent loop of heroic retals. get 2 dumbo cps in brooklyn , triggers retal. die during retal, lose cps. get them again and trigger the retal

[fathom forge]

Does anyone know anything about next season

[blazing ginkgo]

Nope

Not really everything will be revealed in the stream tmrw

[fathom forge]

When does the update actually happen

[bright trail]

in about 13 hours?

[left ravine]

Strangely tomorrow already

#division-tweets message

And the anniversary stream with infos about the season etc. is hours later, lol

[blazing ginkgo]

I thought it would be the same stream

Reveal anniversary stuff patch notes and next season and the future of division 2 and franchise and whatever surprises they have that content creators have been hyping up

[left ravine]

Yeah it will be one live stream

[blazing ginkgo]

Oh u meant the update will happen after the maintenance and then the stream will happen

[left ravine]

Update and maintenance: 3:30 ET (5 hours anticipated) = done at 8:30 ET
Live stream: 12 ET

Chronologically it makes no sense but I guess they have reasons

[blazing ginkgo]

Hours later. Sorry misread. But they could like extend maintenance or make it so no one can login until after the stream

[left ravine]

[unique jetty]

What the best way to grind optimizing materials ?

[left ravine]

Depends on the type you want to grind for

[unique jetty]

these

[left ravine]

• Farming control points/using watch points for the Field Recon Data (craft them, don't use the points directly. Spend points on their requirements)
• Black Tusk bounties

[unique jetty]

They give me all of those each mission or it’ll be one give ones of the 4?

[left ravine]

Oh you mean the other ones too

[unique jetty]

I need them all to maximize my chest piece stats

[left ravine]

• Spend watch points on SHD Calibration bundles (farm OW activities with as many directives enabled as you can handle)
• Farm targeted loot chest pieces via Targeted Loot and dismantle what you don't wanna keep (Countdown is good for that e.g.)

[unique jetty]

Sounds good thank you so much

[left ravine]

Maybe someone else has better recommendations but I think those are pretty OK

[slim elk]

can also buy opti caches from the CD vendor

[flint zephyr]

Do we know if there's going to be a fix for concentrated company Tomorrow?

[left ravine]

We don't know if the visual bug will be fixed

Patch notes will be set live after the update apparently

[rough trench]

Highly unlikely.

[flint zephyr]

🙁

[rough trench]

I wouldn't expect any bug fixes with tomorrow's TU anyway. Most fixes will come with Y8S1 probably.

[flint zephyr]

Isn't the new season tomorrow?

[rough trench]

Anniversary mini-season.

[unique jetty]

Hi does tge summit thing work exactly do I matchmake into a legendary game then when I get to level 10 I teleport to lobby ?

[left ravine]

You'd need luck to mm into a lobby directly to floor 10

You can set it to a lower difficulty until you reach floor 10, then change to legendary.
Kill the NPCs, including the boss, but leave at least one NPC. Collect loot, fast travel back to lobby.
Rinse and repeat.

[unique jetty]

Sounds good thanks so much is it a good idea to activate all the boost ?

[vernal radish]

Is it still possible to get the haven found footage?

[rough trench]

Yes, Kelso tanker climax iirc.

[vernal radish]

iirc? And thanks I’ll go run it a few times because it gave me the echo one earlier

[left ravine]

You mean Directives?

[unique jetty]

Yes and also what kinda equipment do I need to solo legendary I have full striker but I fear it might not be enough

[left ravine]

Striker's always works. Depends on how you play it tho

Directives aren't needed

[unique jetty]

Alr nice tysm im worried I’ll accidently kill the last guy any advice against that ?

[left ravine]

Yeah, be aware of your sourroundings

Don't use Turmoil either :p

[summer sky]

Is anyone on Xbox still running houndsmen bounties?

[unique jetty]

Thank you !

[left ravine]

try in #lfg-xbox or join the GCROCK Discord

[delicate tartan]

I saw some news regarding maintenence, can i play anniversary after the usual maintenence or do i need to wait for livestream and play after?

[rough trench]

After the maintenance as usual.

[slow solar]

where does harmony come from? the rifle?

[left ravine]

DZ

[delicate tartan]

Do get a lot of delta while countdown

Do we get striker outfit tomorrow?

[left ravine]

Most likely

[limber dove]

I got the bp from reconstructed caches

And I think it was dropping from houndsman dogs?

[left ravine]

That too. It's originally from the DZ but drops from named item caches, the hoarder/mini-warhounds during events and you can farm its bp

[slow solar]

i only have 194 blueprints to go. so i may just keep farming bps. ill get it eventually im sure.

[left ravine]

You need to differentiate between OW blueprints and named item blueprints tho

[slow solar]

OW?

ive been making them from recon caches ive not got any retail blueprints in about 15 retails now. so i assume i have them all. other then cleaners/rikers

[left ravine]

Open World

From Control Points, projects, etc.

Reconstructed caches only give named item bps

That's the ones you should focus on if you want the Harmony bp

[slow solar]

@regal epoch get used to it btw 😆 324 season levels and about 20 of these 😆

[regal epoch]

210 season levels for me, and only ONE exotic, and it's that awful holster lmao
