[left ravine]

No lol

[azure zinc]

oh my days, thats so much stats that ive been skipping on lmao cheers yall

[inner tendon]

well actually

[left ravine]

If you save a loadout with a gear mod, it will remain in that loadout. Mods are also shareable across loadouts

[inner tendon]

You can also do that on all 6 gear pieces, and change what they look like /their colours, assuming they are gearset or gold (high end) pieces.

[minor ferry]

When doing public execs to get bounties: Does only the session owner stack up bounties we pick up or do they stack in our bounty rosters seperately?

[azure zinc]

thats awesome! cheers ^~^

[left ravine]

Afaik they don't stack. They're live upon pickup and cannot be collected

Not sure tho, never occurred to me to try to collect them that way

[minor ferry]

But you can just abort the bounty and then it will be in the roster ready to be activated

[left ravine]

Okay

[minor ferry]

Ya know what ill just test it out with someone

[inner tendon]

@plain palm You're looking for #lfg-pc

[plain palm]

Yes

[limber dove]

Yeah you can pretty easily get a free 15% chc boost haha

[bold tiger]

should be, but it's probably a lower priority so you might be waiting a long time before a fix

[azure zinc]

i see people say chc often, what does it mean?

[steep void]

crit hit chance

[azure zinc]

oh, so this game doesnt go by just "crit chance" like every other game on the planet? lmao

[inner tendon]

We can't just use "CC" because that means "crowd control".

[azure zinc]

welp, guess thats fair

[inner tendon]

so CHC and CHD are critical hit chance/damage.

[azure zinc]

mhm, fairs. cheers

[inner tendon]

div2+its community love its shorthand, we're happy to explain what it all means.

[frozen marsh]

have base game but want ultimate edition without buying the game again? options?

[viral crown]

is the black tusk combat uniform still available?

[vapid nest]

The black one, yes, through the store. The white one is a Legendary mission reward. The Officer one is store exclusive and it got rotated out a while ago.

[inner tendon]

Oh did they add the black one to the store?

[vapid nest]

It should be there, no? I remember expressly seeing it.

[inner tendon]

I got it from the Invasion Apparel Event, wasn't aware it was ever around again.

[vapid nest]

Yeah

[bold tiger]

think rivens is asking because probalby haven't took a gander at it so wasn't sure it was in the store

[inner tendon]

ooooooh yeah this isn't that one, that's outfit pieces.
the one I mean is a whole thing.

[vapid nest]

Ah.

[viral crown]

im a big silly

[inner tendon]

It's basically the same from what I know, although I think has a scarf.

[vapid nest]

They're basically the same thing thought, aren't they? It's just this one is in pieces whereas the other is the same but all in one.

[inner tendon]

I am on my way to check right now.

just need to resize the screen again

[vapid nest]

That's the actual uniform that overrides everything. ^

Piece by Piece one.

[bold tiger]

white tusk is that but reskinned right or was it different?

[inner tendon]

It does allow the mask and gloves to be selectable.

[vapid nest]

Yeah. That's the Legendary rewards one.

[inner tendon]

BTSU Winter Jacket is superior to the White Tusk one anyway

[vapid nest]

This is the one that got Rotated out of the store.

[bold tiger]

that's the security one right? where someone talkeda bout the specialization skin but someone posted a similar look but it was a water jug?

[vapid nest]

Also, it's not just me right? The agent models have a different idle stance from before when looking at the menu? I'm not taking jonkler pills am I?

[vapid nest]

Yeah. It's a full uniform called Black Tusk Security Officer.

[bold tiger]

when i was trying to check the difference betwen the ruin mask and shattered mask my agent would move so i see the back of the head

[vapid nest]

Haha funny claw machine game hand.

What prizes yall want?

I got Tommy the Teddy Bear and Tommy the Teddy Bear True Sons edition.

[bold tiger]

lol, i noticed that when you put gloves on i'm like wait what?

[vapid nest]

Yeah, you get a full on robot hand with other glove overrides.

[inner tendon]

Wait what's this? I know the claw hand exists, but it's always covered up.

[bold tiger]

shattered hunter

[inner tendon]

Yes, which gloves do that?

[vapid nest]

Only shattered Hunter Gloves override give you the claw hand. All other glove overrides give you a robot hand.

[inner tendon]

Ah bugger.

[vapid nest]

With Aaron Keener Gloves.

[bold tiger]

oh? i thought all did that 😹

[inner tendon]

Hush Gloves allow you to get more roboty hands, but it does leave your other hand totally open.

[bold tiger]

could imagine if the security officer turned it into some kind of soldering tool tip?

[mild yarrow]

please explain why my damage in negative. did i reag the max int limit they have for damage dealt and so it went to negative?

[inner tendon]

Basically yeah.

[mild yarrow]

alrighty

[inner tendon]

Welcome to div2! :p

[left ravine]

Occurs at 2.14b damage

[inner tendon]

we love our duct-tape here.

[vapid nest]

Interger overflow lmao.

[mild yarrow]

yup thought they'd know this when they set manning zoo final boss hp to literally a quadrillion

that guy was tanky! my 1st time encountering him

[left ravine]

It's just about mechanic with those bosses

[bold tiger]

havne't done the last climax mission i see

[mild yarrow]

which

[vapid nest]

That's not really the issue. The thing is, when this game released, we never had this kind of damage. Lv. 40 equipment wasn't a thing until WONY released, which inflated numbers everywhere across the board.

[bold tiger]

Iron works anderson i think was the name?

[mild yarrow]

is he even a bigger chonker?

[bold tiger]

do we tell them?

[vapid nest]

Ha! no.

[mild yarrow]

whats wony

[bold tiger]

Warlords of New York

[vapid nest]

Let the surprise by a surprise, Toothless.

[rugged stratus]

this with the memento striker?

[mild yarrow]

this is with big al and tipping scales, still need to make memento

[bold tiger]

sorry, you're going to need to run it and report back to us

[rugged stratus]

oh gotcha

[mild yarrow]

well anyone of you fancy an ironworks run?

[rugged stratus]

tipping may not be a bad option for memento either tbh. you stack a ton of chd with the talent so it isnt as restrictive with memento needing more chance🤔

[mild yarrow]

is master easier than legendary? i dont see that option for other missions

[mild yarrow]

but dont i have to run over and collect the trophies that enemies drop?

[inner tendon]

It is, yeah.
Legendary is only available for the Strongholds, and Summit.

[mild yarrow]

i am 6 red with this build so i die if anyone even sneezes at me

[mild yarrow]

ty

[rugged stratus]

yeah, thats a given. you can pickup after an area is clear tho. the long buff lasts 5 minutes, and once fully stacked can be maintained by 1 trophy pickup every 4:59 minutes

[bold tiger]

master unlocks for climax missions if you at least run it once in normal to heroic

[mild yarrow]

didnt know the buff is for such a long duration

[rugged stratus]

the trophies you dont pickup stay there after death so if you happen to wipe, its a little easier to stack

[inner tendon]

Memento really is the best Exotic we have.

[rugged stratus]

that long buff is why i call it the hardest working item in the game

[bold tiger]

<-me in a nutshell until localdeck dumbed it down for me. yes he spoke very slowly to me until it clicked

[mild yarrow]

i loose this on tipping scale backpack though

this is the talent

[rugged stratus]

memento is always gonna be a tradeoff.

but worth the trade imho

[cobalt crater]

Been using tipping scales for a week, my favourite build atm

[rugged stratus]

why am i just now realizing the lack of whining in game from companions

[bright trail]

for soloplay memento is the king imho

[left ravine]

Subjective

[vapid nest]

He did say it was his honest opinion, to be fair.

[mild yarrow]

you lied! he wasnt even 10% of that manning zoo dude

[vapid nest]

Oh then you did the mechs fine.

[warm condor]

Where can i find cassie mendoza?

[mild yarrow]

i am going to try OD big al, think it would work?

[left ravine]

Find the Snitch

He will reveal Cassie's and Danny's location

[fickle ravine]

snitch locations

[warm condor]

Ah thanks

[rugged stratus]

have a gunner pulse/emp sticky handy to proc status when needed

[fickle ravine]

Your best bet is to log out and log into the game, go to the nearest potential Snitch spawn point, check to see if he's there, and if he's not, relog and try again

[rugged stratus]

bluescreen is really nice on od

[warm condor]

go to the same spot over and over again u mean?

[fickle ravine]

yes

relog every time you don't see him

you will see a ??? symbol appear over his head if he's close, he's not that hidden once he's there

[mild yarrow]

whats bluescreen

[fickle ravine]

exotic lmg

[mild yarrow]

oh i have this thing

[rugged stratus]

its a very good/stable lmg with a lot of qol to it. 200rnd mag, reloads like an ar

great on od as it procs status without replacing rounds like elmo

[bold tiger]

odd, when i ran it was continuous firing for several minutes almost pushed an hour i think?

[rugged stratus]

iron lung also up there for the whole free status

[bold tiger]

mechanics were bugged for me including invisible lava

[stoic portal]

Does anyone know what interacting with this door does? There was an interaction button on the door, agent pressed something on his watch, but nothing else happened.

[mild yarrow]

yes could be this

by the way what is summit? is it link sandbox mode in div2?

[bold tiger]

an extremely slow mode where you climb 100 floors fighting random enemies in random rooms

[meager raptor]

just for my own fyi for future: any exotic not in a raid, drops from Countdown right? Or are there any other exceptions?

[slim elk]

Raid/Incursion or Project locked exotics don't drop in TL

[restive bramble]

Just came back home from work, cannot wait to start my actual day job of farming control points for blueprints

[stoic portal]

Also Master Climax exotics

[idle jetty]

Nemesis, Dodge City, Ouroborous,

Capacitor

[stoic portal]

what a nickname tho

[meager raptor]

these are the only ones that dont drop from countdown then? is there a master list anywhere?

[stoic portal]

you should meet the guy in the white house chat that speaks about politics for a couple of months

[left ravine]

https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1MaAAXBLNhL1AaCBoIewExQNaqkNKlIqlYGE_OUXmjtM/mobilebasic

[idle jetty]

There may be more, but these are the ones I specifically found had another source after farming countdown/retaliation for 50 hours.

These are all tied to raids:
Eagle Bearer
Regulus
Ravenous

[slim elk]

These don't drop in TL:
Capacitor, Liberty, Dodge City, Nemesis (only after obtaining its blueprint), Ravenous, Regulus, Eagle Bearer, Chatterbox

[idle jetty]

OH Where do you get chatterbox?

[slim elk]

Hyena Lockboxes drop parts for it

[meager raptor]

so stuff like Tinkerer is only tied to the Master Manhunt?

[warm condor]

Hmm so i spoke to the snitch, he gave me a bounty, i did the bounty. Guessing cassies location should appear but cant seem to find it

[slim elk]

any Manhunt exotic only drops from their Climax and nowhere else

[bold tiger]

should've already be on your map, the bounty wasn't needed

[bold tiger]

what do you call them dropping in stretch goals? 🤔

[slim elk]

damn discord is on fire rn?

[left ravine]

Check your map for two shopping cart icons

[bold tiger]

i'm salty about that decision. hey let's add Climax exclusives to stretch goals furthering the loot chances for other more important drops 😹

[slim elk]

fk... I had no clue they dropped in there 😆

[fickle ravine]

should I run PVGC striker

[bold tiger]

perfect vigilience glass cannon?

<-personally will say why not?

be against the overdogs meta 😹

i got a striker Equalizer + Salvo build 👀

[bold tiger]

yeah, it's annoying

[mild yarrow]

i wanna ask this comm how to better level 10k player! he is dying more and playign worse than us 1k or sub 1k ppl

[slim elk]

at first, people don't like PVGC because they die faster and don't know how to not get hit often, but if you manage to build up discipline with it, you'll be able to maintain both you and your Vigi talent alive with high rewards

[wary basin]

what the best automatic rifle (the ones you can keep shooting holding click)? no named or exotic, there is one rifle that is better than others?

[slim elk]

Police M4, Carbine, and... I'm missing another one

[bold tiger]

i think they meant rifles

[wary basin]

yea, not assault rifles

[bold tiger]

minds drawing a blank but i know there were a few people liked

they probably said automatic rifles because they didnt' want to hear 1886 or M16 😹

[keen scarab]

one question, is this attribute for turret-like skills or is it for normal weapon?

[bold tiger]

if i spoke the language i'd probably tel ya but no clue what it translate to

[wary basin]

fire rate

[slim elk]

just weapons

[bold tiger]

ah, normal weapons i believe. think if you wanted you could use the chem launcher and fire that a bit faster, not much but a bit

[keen scarab]

thanks

[mild yarrow]

@rugged stratus if i take memento then i have to take off overdogs, is that worth?

[slim elk]

for what?

[mild yarrow]

it is supposed to be dps build

big al tipping scales

[slim elk]

oh nah, not recommended at all

[bold tiger]

yeah you'd have to remove overdogs for memento, but you'd also have to collect all the trophies for 30% damage and keep collecting 1 trophy every 4:59

overdogs would just be better if you don't want to do too much moving around

[left ravine]

Memento is good for an aggressive gameplay. Big Al requires you to be in cover to procc the talent, so it doesn't quite work out (considering bonus armor)

[mild yarrow]

and i am all red cores too

[gilded berry]

Is the Ironwork materials shared between characters?

[bold tiger]

believe so as long as you bought the share materials blueprint

[gilded berry]

thats good, now just need to be able to run another IH with 2nd toon. Then can run last one on tomorrow's reset

[bold tiger]

or boost a 3rd and 4th and run it some more 😹

[gilded berry]

Actually, Does the boost give me the unlocked SHD caches? cause I manually leveled my 2nd toon to 40 and I still need to do that.

[bold tiger]

SHD caches?

[gilded berry]

The ones scattered around the map to unlock the other skill types like Theres 4 different pulses etc

[bold tiger]

i want to say yes, but i could be wrong. haven't boosted in a long while

i do know if you boost to 30 or 40 you respawn with random gears on 😹

[fickle ravine]

boost should have automatically unlocked all of your skills and perks

the other SHD caches are extras and they just let you open the crates in Manhattan/Brooklyn

[rugged stratus]

Its for a tech tank type of setup

[cinder peak]

can you get prem credits on anniv pass?

[rugged stratus]

Yeah, it would be a trade off. It really depends what you plan to prioritize.

[fickle ravine]

no

[gilded berry]

Just made new toon. and Yes everything auto unlocked. Might aswell just delete my manual one as I can't bother with all that

[cinder peak]

hmm that's weird, i only have 50 creds a while ago, but now it's 550

[slim elk]

I mean it's not bad but I wouldn't recommend TS with Memento

[cinder peak]

i bought the pass for 1k, that's from 1050 (ulti ed)

[slim elk]

it feels wrong, I tried it once

[rugged stratus]

Its kinda in response to striker memento being suggested. The thing with ts is its ability to stack a lot of chd. Memento being crit starved means it wont have to put much into chd and be able to cap chc easier

I think both would perform well

[warm condor]

found it thx

[granite estuary]

Did they say cross progression will carryover (ps4 account to xbox series x account)

[inner tendon]

@granite estuary It's only crossplay, not cross progression/save.

[warm condor]

is it possible for dz vendors to sell matador?

[bold tiger]

eventually, maybe even the countdown vendor

[left ravine]

Farm blueprint via Retaliations

[warm condor]

yep doing that atm

jus trying to max out my chances of gettingg the one i need lol

literally the last piece left of my bighorn regen build ¬¬

[left ravine]

If you get one to drop you have a 99% chance of not getting the rolls you want ~

That's why I recommend the bp farm over anything else

[warm condor]

Fair enough

[wide flax]

for D2, what in the term NBA stands for? lol

[left ravine]

National Bond Armory

It's a classified assignment bound to the Y1 Bundle DLC

[wide flax]

thank you =]

[fair roost]

Hello i have gotten some stars and I go to the vendor to spend them and nothing is there apparently I got no stars and I finished the first mission of the event

And now I did the crafting and it says 2 plus stars and I get nothing again its annoying

[left ravine]

Are you level 40 yet?

[left ravine]

Can you post a screenshot of your event vendor screen?

Crafting does not give stars. You are telling confusing things

[unreal solar]

I got a question related to teamwork commendations

It requires to be in a group of 4, hard difficulty or above, nobody gets downed

does it fully require all 4 agents to be in the group BEFORE jumping into the mission
or can i be somewhere mid-mission and have other 3 fellow agents join in and NOT get downed until the end and still get the commendation

[snow geode]

dose anyone know if ubisoft going fix the in game sounds and the gun sounds

[bold tiger]

did you report it in the proper channels? check Trello to see if they know about it and have a fix for it?

[left ravine]

Idk, if it is not on the Trello board, report it instead of demanding a fix for sth they possibly aren't aware of

[fair roost]

yeah

[snow geode]

sorry i dident yet am just wondering

[bold tiger]

that's not the global event vendor

[left ravine]

That is the journey menu. Not the event vendor

[snow geode]

where the trello bored

[left ravine]

https://trello.com/b/F2RU9ia9/the-division-2-known-issues

[fair roost]

well i haven't played this game in ages

[fair roost]

is there a vendor for this one ?

[left ravine]

That is where and how you can redeem the stars

[bold tiger]

if you hit that events vendor tab there's Teleport to Vendor key there

[fair roost]

mine is just like this

[bold tiger]

did you enable it in the global events tab?

[fair roost]

yeah

idk let me reactivate it maybe it does magic

[bold tiger]

something tells me you didn't

think people reported that if they matchmake into a session with it disabled yours gets disabled as well

[fair roost]

idk its fine i guess haha

[left ravine]

Countdown usually the cause

[bold tiger]

oh?

[left ravine]

Global Events aren't active in CD

[bold tiger]

ah, that'd make sense

[fair roost]

that's kinda dumb

[left ravine]

This is not the case with GEs. When enabled you only get mm with ppl who also have it enabled. And vice versa

[left ravine]

It makes sense actually.

[bold tiger]

good to know, i thought it didn't care and just paired you with people who's wanting to run that mission you queued for

[left ravine]

That only applies to seasonal modifiers

[bold tiger]

learned something new 😹

[terse olive]

how do ı level up my workbench? it says ı can't craft certain things because my level is too low

[bold tiger]

should be a key press for it while in the crafting bench

[terse olive]

ı am blind ignore me

[keen glacier]

Best thing for grinding battlepass besides the classified mission reset?

[left ravine]

If you mean the anniversary pass: Priority Objectives with strongholds and missions

What you mentioned is only good for SHD levels

It is also widely considered as exploit and should not be discussed in this discord

[bold tiger]

and considered an exploit

person yesterday called it a bug and "can't be banned because of it" 👌 tell yourself that until the devs decide to punish people for abusing it 😹

[left ravine]

That won't be happening without anything offical on their end, so he is right. If it happened they'd be open to an easy lawsuit

[granite estuary]

Thanks dude

[bold tiger]

i know, but now they got people so you never know they might just start

[left ravine]

All the new players are doing it because some content creators are spreading it

[granite estuary]

(The thumb down was for the news not u )

[warm condor]

only way to farm automated defense parts is the reconstruction caches?

[bold tiger]

nods

[bold tiger]

Broken watches i'm sure?

[warm condor]

Yeah, in a pickle as i need those watches lol

guess ill prioritize the caches to get matador bp asap

[left ravine]

You get one watch per successful Retaliation. Plus, you can convert other materials into watches

[bold tiger]

BT retaliations coming sometime so maybe it'll be just doing those to get those parts

[left ravine]

That's gonna be so good

[warm condor]

Yeah that would make life soo much easier

[bold tiger]

i dunno if i'll enjoy the drone or grenade spams though

[left ravine]

It'll be heroic max. I don't think Retaliations will be affected by that new enigmatic increased difficulty. But, who knows

[bold tiger]

doens't mean BT won't have both drone controllers and Grenadiers spawning and spamming 😹

[inner tendon]

Just wait until Yannick reveals that every elite is being replaced by Sparkles.

[left ravine]

Lol

[bold tiger]

nah, next suicide NPC will be rats

[junior sequoia]

I still think that all NPCs being replaced by "the bearded" could be a good first April joke

[final mauve]

hey guys. quick question, i am absolutely new to the game, just bought it. if ill start realism mode which take place in some dlc from my understanding, will i spoil main game plot with playing realism ? are they connected ?

[bold tiger]

nah, i liked the exotics. the tears players had looting a Satiated or Little Horn

[left ravine]

You will know the entire WoNY story already. Aside from that, I don't think so

[austere turret]

Do I deconstruct gear till I hit 40? Or do I keep selling?

[inner tendon]

You might as well junk it, mats are invaluable long-term.

[left ravine]

Selling is not very lucrative, I'd recommend to dismantle

[inner tendon]

Cash becomes a non-issue after a while.

[austere turret]

Also The Campus says locked down by Black Tusk. How do I "free" it?

[bold tiger]

usually there's a red thing tied to it on the map someplace. you go there fight black tusk off and it gets free

[junior sequoia]

Complete the black tusk blockage, don't worry about "thunderjaws" going after you

[austere turret]

I see it now. Thanks

Also by "thunderjaw" 😶‍🌫️ you mean the AC-130 looking drone?

[left ravine]

Thunderjaws, lol

[inner tendon]

Sounds like a wrestler from the 80's

[bold tiger]

what if they give us mini quadcopters?

[left ravine]

Bridge Park Pier mission in Brkln is the closest to that

[bold tiger]

Rise up. Normal quad copters, normal warhounds, mini warhounds, mini quadcopters. 4 hunters 🤔

[left ravine]

Hunters ||aren't relevant anymore I think||

I mean now that the cat is out of the bag, ||everything is revealed, the Recruiter gone, etc.||

[restive bramble]

if im just going for optimization blueprints is it ok if i just do challenging control points? or is there anything in the optimization materials that needs heroic?

[slim elk]

you get a random blueprint for each completion, you can't target them and no, it's the same pool

[restive bramble]

so if I just want BPs its faster to do chall

[slim elk]

Basically

[inner tendon]

Yep, you get 1 for either Challenging or Heroic.
@clear glen You're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[clear glen]

thank you

[unreal solar]

I hope it's not a dumb question
but am i supposed to get 4 people together BEFORE jumping into the mission or can i have 4 somewhere mid-mission and finish it without anyone downed and still get the commendation?
like be alone for the whole mission, get before the last checkpoint it cancels matchmaking and get the other 3 people and complete it without getting downed

[bold tiger]

i think killed is down from a weakened state

[unreal solar]

there's some missions (in this case Wall Street) from WONY that require no downs

but i'm still curious IF i have to get 4 people first before i start a mission
or i can do it mid-mission

[bold tiger]

no clue, i imagine you could run it all the way to the last room. call for help 3 times and hope none goes down

[bright trail]

Also if a drone is shot down it fails the mission if j remember correctly

[terse olive]

how pvp heavy is the darkzone?

[quick folio]

How cheater heavy is the darkzone?

[left ravine]

DZ is for PvP solely

But it's mostly empty or you'll see cheaters mostly

[terse olive]

yeah right? gonna keep ignoring it ı suppose

[quick folio]

Which is sad honestly

Idk why they let sht like that slide

[bright trail]

Conflict is where pvp is

[left ravine]

There is a silver lining, they hired a PvP director recently

So, improvements incoming I'm sure

[terse olive]

as in just straight team based pvp?

[quick folio]

Is he gonna do smth about the anticheat

[left ravine]

Idk what they're gonna do, but the goal is to improve the DZ, which includes dealing with cheaters

[quick folio]

Hopefully

Any clues what 'visual improvements' are they bringing/have brought?

Was it for the anniversary, or the upcoming season idk?

[bright trail]

yes

[left ravine]

It's already live

[quick folio]

So what exactly changed, any comparisons? Cuz the blacks are still crushed

[terse olive]

might give it a shot one day ı gotta do the story missions again lmao ı started a new character

[left ravine]

Watch the latest dev stream where they talk about it, they show a few images in comparison if you don't see it ingame yourself

[quick folio]

On twitch?

[left ravine]

There or on YT

[quick folio]

Ait

[quick folio]

Dont seem like anything substantial

[minor ferry]

to get Sherrif u do a raid, right?

[quick folio]

Master mission

[slim elk]

climax mission

[minor ferry]

The ironworks one?

[quick folio]

No, general anderson

[slim elk]

ye, it's basically the same map but it's a Manhunt

[minor ferry]

meant that one, its just that its called ironworks also

[quick folio]

Yea

[minor ferry]

Dont I gotta do any manhunt stuff to do this? Like the steps of the manhunt like we used to have to do?

[slim elk]

no

[white schooner]

Any recommendations on what to spend my stars on?

[slim elk]

that was last season so it becomes what we know as Legacy Manhunts

[quick folio]

Whatever you need

[minor ferry]

theres no manhunt this season?

[quick folio]

Illd prefer named item caches because you can get dz exclusive items from them

[slim elk]

next month, this month we have the Anniversary Event, which is a mini season without Modifiers or a Manhunt

[minor ferry]

what are the DZ exclusives? ferocious calm, liq engineer, virginian, am i missing any?

[white schooner]

Trying to get a Lexington. Any caches I should target for that or is it simply not possible outside of legacy caches?

[quick folio]

[quick folio]

Lexington is an exclusive item, usually dropping from event caches, like mutiny ones etc

From stretch goals or whatever event was at the time

[white schooner]

Gotcha so it’s not possible ro get one rn

[quick folio]

Idk havent logged on

[bright trail]

a lot of these drop from name caches now but some still don't

[humble swan]

did anyone knows where i can find this gun St elmos engine assault rifle

[bright trail]

that form exotics caches

[quick folio]

Idk how old that info is

[quick folio]

But from that list, i can tell you i gotten all of them at some point from opening named caches

[humble swan]

only ?

[slim elk]

anywhere with AR TL

[humble swan]

ar tl ?

[slim elk]

Assault Rifle Targeted Loot

[lost ferry]

is countdown the best way to get gear i need with the right substats?

[quick folio]

I mean attributes depend on the item itself and its predisposition, but yes, the rolls are higher the higher the difficulty, plus a lot of stuff drops there so

[lost ferry]

ive been farming challenging but i havent gotten any good rolls

trying to make a 1886 one tap build

[quick folio]

Heroic is only gonna provide u higher rolled attributes, not 'better' as in different, attributes

[lost ferry]

how much harder is heroic?

[quick folio]

Well, theres prolly a reason why majority of players play on challenging

Cuz its more forgiving

[summer harness]

In general what's the best thing to spend event stars on?

[left ravine]

Do they? I tried mm on challenging for a while and barely found any groups. I always find ppl on heroic tho

[quick folio]

I wouldnt know, i only play heroic too

[slim elk]

mats and exo comps

[slim elk]

Don't go Heroic.

[left ravine]

I spent 1100 stars on exo caches, was quite worth it

[summer harness]

Ah that would just be exotic Caches then right?

[quick folio]

I did the new character thing lol

[slim elk]

ye

[left ravine]

New character thing?

[quick folio]

Cant talk about it here

[left ravine]

Lol I see

[quick folio]

So, are there more players populating the chat compared to before? Did we offset the chinesification a little bit lol?

[left ravine]

Idk I have chat off for years

[quick folio]

I think i can guess why 🤣 it gets pretty crazy pretty quick lmao

[subtle grove]

Can we still get the reconfig for big al and harrier pride after the season?

[quick folio]

Shiii homie, its gotta wait in line 😭

[minor ferry]

Can I disable the difficulty text and the directive symbols and just have the radar?

[fickle ravine]

nope

[dawn wave]

Yeah turn off the team modifier/perk thing under gameplay or ui don’t remember I did this before

[lavish crypt]

@rugged stratus This is what I can see:

[rugged stratus]

that correlates the the anniversary event

the page scrolls when you get in there, not just 10 reward slots. its 50 total

take a ss of that page if you could

[lavish crypt]

Yes, I know. But I already claimed all 50

[rugged stratus]

not sure how

[rugged stratus]

known bug anyone?

[minor ferry]

Are you sure youre able to do this?

[fickle ravine]

for some reason we have season xp without an actual season

[dawn wave]

Where ever you can set custom ui it’s there

[rugged stratus]

maybe the meter restarts when you max it out

[dawn wave]

The options to disable cover prompts etc it should be in there under gear display

[fickle ravine]

so we can still level up the "season pass", but it does absolutely nothing

[rugged stratus]

best i can think of is moving the minimap to the right side till the text is off screen. no idea if itll save like that tho

[lavish crypt]

OK, so it seems there are no additional season rewards. Just want to make sure not to miss loot before the season ends...

[rugged stratus]

sounds about right. looks like you ground the s out of it 🔥

[minor ferry]

Have you yourself been able to turn off the directives and difficulty text? cause Ive checked multiple times in every category and cant find anything to turn them off

[lavish crypt]

OK, thanks for the help.

[pseudo tundra]

it's probably because event uses seasonal structure with no season so it just creates this kind of funyn things

[blissful raven]

is anyone getting fps drops when opening the arsenal

when i played before, a year-ish ago, the apparel had fps drops but not the arsenal

[tough aspen]

For veteran players who have most of all the items already, what caches do you get from the event?

[obtuse jetty]

season caches

[tough aspen]

The legacy season caches?

[obtuse jetty]

yes box

[versed raptor]

anyone have a build in mind they can share for the tech overdrive event

[obtuse jetty]

look around in #td2-build-advice ^^

some peepz might shine a light on that question

[versed raptor]

oh shit i thought i wrote in that category my bad

[rotund merlin]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[fickle ravine]

if you want to experience the story, start a new character
if you decide to keep going, this is the guide for you

[rotund merlin]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[hidden smelt]

anyone know the best way to find optimization blueprints, specifically faction materials but also activity materials

[upper hill]

so chat was i supposed to get premium credits back if i already bought the anni pass

then got ther annibundle?

[mellow trout]

No it just discounts it

[upper hill]

how much was the bundle alone ?

[mellow trout]

50 percent off so you only pay the 2000 you would have spent

[upper hill]

ahhhhh okay

well good def had the cash and didnt notice the bundle when it first came out

[bold tiger]

in this channel there's a guide for control point xp farming can do that for blueprints if you like

[austere turret]

I think I just got ripped off. I completed the Capitol building stronghold, but I got DCed when being told to leave the mission area. I got back in and it's been reset, as if I didn't do anything at all.

[bold tiger]

that sucks

if you were doing it for the priority objective but the objective is gone, i'd say it's safe to assume you don't ahve to run it again

[fickle ravine]

are you sure it's not a mission replay

[fickle ravine]

they're not level 40 yet

[bold tiger]

ah

[austere turret]

I don't think I can replay missions yet. Idk how to replay missions at all

[digital blaze]

how long does a Dark Hours raid take to complete on average?

[bold tiger]

you replay it by either holding a key on the map over the mission you want to replay or finding the floating panel and reset the mission there

[fickle ravine]

you can (i just checked with my level 11 character), check the map and see if the mission says Replay

[marble olive]

i have aquestion, my friend just picked up Brooklyn DLC and they have 450 stash limit while i only have 400, do ineed to do something or is this a bug?

[fickle ravine]

if it's a teaching raid, 20 to 30-ish minutes if nobody screws up
it's a lot faster if everyone already knows what to do

[bold tiger]

it's intended.
owning Year 1 pass, Warlords of New York and Battle for Brooklyn will put you to 450 as each gives 50 stash
if you pay the 2k Anniversary seaon bundle it'll give you anther 50 for a total of 500 stash space

[marble olive]

is this the year 1 pass?

[bold tiger]

yes

[marble olive]

ah alright, cheers

[bold tiger]

careful with those. if devs sees people paying that amount for 50 stash space they might do more of those 😹

[slow solar]

nice. all zones cleared.

that last zone def ramps up the difficulty. fun puzzle though

[dawn wave]

the gear icons I believe turns it off but i might be mistaken

[fickle ravine]

I'm still not sure if the Ambush GE has the damage boost activate only when the meter is full or if it's incremental like in Div 1

[bold tiger]

yeah, it's confusing along with the journey steps for it. i know i've had the full meter before i engaged but some kills still didn't count

[pseudo tundra]

i think it's only when it's full

[fickle ravine]

yeah i think so too, the description implies the GE works like in Div 1, but the damage falloff by moving one millimeter in cover is just too large for it to make sense unless if it only kicked in when the meter was full

also, the buff icon only appears when the meter is full anyway

[austere turret]

Okay, so I think it's bugged. It tells me to secure the south wing. But theres no enemy left (I scanned). And I can't progress forward. The entrance to the next room is blocked by furniture

[upper hill]

yo whats a better faarm for equalizer target farming chest pieces or unit alloy?

[bold tiger]

no only that if you're in cover and i think double tap your skill to quicky deploy your turret on it, as the meter dip a little and fill back up again 😹

[bold tiger]

Unit alloy because you're only contending with 6 pieces, you can do the chest but you're going to get every brand set/gear set chest pieces along with exotics

[upper hill]

my rng ass then done like 10 runs of countdown not a single one

[upper hill]

ty

[limber dove]

UA is the way

[fickle ravine]

so i guess if i run around in lincoln memorial i don't get any benefits

[slow solar]

yay

[bold tiger]

ewww classified missions 😹

[slow solar]

i only had to get the backpack trophy for that one. i figured i may as well.

[bold tiger]

i'm teasing mostly as i've done those long time ago and was happy to be done with them. can't wait for new ones to do though

[slow solar]

what is system corruption? never seen that gear set. is it new?

[bold tiger]

PVP from year 1 i believe?

if not year 1, then it was like year 2 after they started to give us gearsets

you basically have infinite armor kits, chest i think decreases the cool down, backpack increases your bonus armor
when you use your armor kit your name plate disappears and you get bonus armor

[pseudo tundra]

DZ exclusive gear set

kinda hard to farm

legacy caches might be one of the few ways to get it

[bold tiger]

Nods dz caches, conflict caches or legacy caches

[pseudo tundra]

replaces armor kit iwht instant use healing kit that doenst heal much but gives a lot of bonus armor, it's a PVP focused set

[vapid nest]

See, what Bird shot means is "This shit is awful to farm and no one should do it cause the gear set isn't even necessary for PvP."

[bold tiger]

i forget is that the bonus armor increases your weapon damage too? @pseudo tundra

[pseudo tundra]

it does, but it's not amp i think

dont remember the numbers but i think they were low

[bold tiger]

all or total or something?

[slow solar]

yay

[pseudo tundra]

just basic weapon damage

[bold tiger]

all, all 6 pieces gives weapon cores on 3 specific pieces and armor core on the other 3 pieces 😹

[vapid nest]

Congrats, but that hurts to look at. As someone who's already maxed it out once, and then a second time after it increased, it just plain hurts to look at. Gl tho, I don't envy anyone still doing theirs.

[rugged stratus]

dont you mean 10 times since its increased XD

[bold tiger]

don't lie! we know you loved filling that in 😹 🤮 yeah i don't envy the people who do and praying an expertise event is in the events page

[vapid nest]

I maxed it when it was 26, left the game for a year and maxed it again to 30.

[slow solar]

@rugged stratusOF ALL THE PLACES WTF

[rugged stratus]

there it is

[slow solar]

a ny killsquad cache? really?

[rugged stratus]

dont look a gift horse in the mouth

[slow solar]

should i swap out the mop?

[rugged stratus]

nah. mop fits your purpose and is almost as strong

[vapid nest]

What if I look at it in the eyes?

[rugged stratus]

itll bite you

[vapid nest]

: (

[slow solar]

yay l14 gear go burr.

[vapid nest]

Wait till you start going for 30. It is abysmal.

[quasi musk]

whats the best way i can get god rolled gear mods

[valid ember]

So I’m a returning player on ps5 I was wondering if someone could help me get the quick step ?

[vapid nest]

Farm Legendary summit with as many directives as you can handle.

[quasi musk]

much appreciated

[vernal swift]

👀

[bold tiger]

LFG-PS channel as cross play still isn't implemented. that'll be a long while maybe as we weren't given a date or schedule aside soon™

[vapid nest]

Ask around in the #lfg-playstation channel for anyone that still has the Houndsman Bounties.

[hot night]

does anyone know how to get the quickstepp pistol

[bright trail]

stop your gears at 12

[fierce sand]

coyote mask, momento and overdogs all in 1 day. im speechless

[bold tiger]

yes, do you want an answer though?
LFG channel for a Houndsman bounty. either Halloween i hear the Valentines Bloody does drop it as well

[slim elk]

-# pssst

[hot night]

i see i saw it in a build video and had no clue

[bright trail]

chamekeon accuracy is terrible, at what situation it is used over st elmo?

[slim elk]

0/10 situations require Chameleon

[bright trail]

maybe you do close combat and prefer an smg but you have AR bonus from 2 piece unit alloys?

[strange harbor]

at that point backfire blows it out of the water

[bright trail]

People were using backfire in the master anderson mission right?

[bold tiger]

<-didn't use it, in fact never use it really as i don't are for that bleed

[strange harbor]

no not really, but you can use it tho

Protomac master for example has more enemies in prolonged fight that you see it more often

[bold tiger]

there was a manhunt where we got hazard protection from a passive modifier and youtubers capitalized on Stiker Backfire build is OP! do this now! 😹

[strange harbor]

we had 40% HP in the companion season too

[pseudo tundra]

backfire got reworked to be easier to use and some of status effect build up got changed so bleeding can just stop after a few times

[vapid nest]

By the way, incase you were ever interested, upgrading a full loadout to 30 needs:

• 8800 Receiver Components
• 3080 Steel
• 5200 Titanium
• 6600 Protective Fabric
• 2310 Polycarbonate
• 4020 Carbon Fiber
• 1540 Ceramic
• 2600 Electronics
• 4400 Printer Filament
• 1080 SHD Calibration
• 2448 Field Recon Data
• 1080 Exotic Components

Good luck, have fun.

[civic junco]

Exotic Components would be the only real bottleneck

[bold tiger]

global events all month long, if people been buying exotics with them stars

[left ravine]

FRD in those amounts also takes a good amount of time

[bold tiger]

now how much printer filament does it take to go from 0-30 expertise? 🤔

[vapid nest]

Divide 4400 by two, that's your answer. 2200.

You only ever use two skills at a time, after all.

Thankfully, my journey is almost complete.

[bold tiger]

i feel it was more than 2200 using printer filaments donations for all your gears/weapons/skills/specializations but then again i didn't stickt o filaments for the most part so maybe it could be true 😹

[vapid nest]

Fair, actually, lmfao

[civic junco]

I have a long way to go

[vapid nest]

Good luck, soldier.

[bright trail]

31 kills in countdown, personal record

[left ravine]

Next goal: 50

[bright trail]

Bluescreen ftw

[bold tiger]

i'm always 0 kills :/

[vapid nest]

Don't worry, I'm always 0 damage.

[bold tiger]

but if you want top revives. just follow me and pick me up a whole lot 😹

[bright trail]

do they do 5xp every year or this was special?

[vapid nest]

It's not the first time they do it, if that answers your question.

[slim elk]

at least once every season or two

we once had a season full of 3xXP and 5xXP events

at least 5000 levels worth of events

[austere turret]

Finally reached LVL 40. What do I do about my LVL 1-39 gear. Also found out I threw a lot of them in my stash

[bright trail]

deconstruct non exotics

[austere turret]

So everything that isn't red? Including the mint-green ones?

[slim elk]

Sell or Deconstruct

[warm salmon]

i'd say deconstruct, you get enough money from grinding for gear

[bright trail]

don't forget to spend your stars people

[bold tiger]

level 31-39 throw in your recalibration library stats and especially talents

[green pendant]

What’s the best website / creator for division builds

[slim elk]

buildstation.app

[warm salmon]

I prefer mxbuilder myself

[left ravine]

buildstation is the further development of it IIRC

[warm salmon]

Honestly I just like mxbuilder for the dps graph

[left ravine]

Sure, preference too

[eager inlet]

honestly... I'm now for the first time checking out buildstation and I'm immediately liking it so much more than I ever did mxbuilder

[austere turret]

How do I unlock this SHD watch? I went to Dennison but I don't see any prompt for it

[eager inlet]

make sure you're in your own map/session when talking to the quartermaster.

[bold tiger]

believe either the NY quarter master or the DC quarter master

[austere turret]

Should I turn off the global event? I believe other than that, then yes I'm in my own session

[eager inlet]

doesn't hurt to try

[bold tiger]

well global event disappears in a few hours

we get a new one. you gotta get in their faces to do damage now 😹
🤔 imagine if they gave us assault while theo parnell manhunt in dc?

[green pendant]

I want actual builds

[bold tiger]

define actual builds?

oh for website builds?

best i think you'll get builds wise is here in the #td2-build-advice pins a build spreadsheet hub that lists all kinds of builds and all configurations. probably still getting updated to include Overdogs and now probably alejandro if that made an impact

[eager inlet]

someone can probably link the google-doc, I don't have the link on standby sorry ://

[warm salmon]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nrPBmOrtpkEW1j5fbcRT7L-AXgsGOqMqxXoVtopsiGM

[warm salmon]

alejandro goes anywhere you can put an lmg in, overdogs goes anywhere coyotes can go

[bold tiger]

both overdogs and coyotes been stashed for me for the most part. sure i got a build with Overdogs, but i rarely touch it so but like i said they're probably updating the builds to include those. not even sure if alejandro made an impact aside youtuber speaking high praises for it without mentioning ambush helps push it higher damage wise

[bright trail]

Bluescreen+dilemna+overdogs= profit

[left ravine]

Nah not exactly if you actually wanna min-max builds.

[bold tiger]

other than another server someone mentioned alejandro + turmoil is pretty strong. so i tried it. yeah pretty op with ambush running

though i helped someong get something like a 400+ mag on alejandro earlier 😹

[left ravine]

I use Turmoil in my solo Pestilence build or my solo one-shot build. Otherwise just taking a spot in my inventory

Oh wait, it doesn't, but you know what I mean

[eager inlet]

everything is strong with Ambush if you can stand still 😄
I've been using Big Al now with nego in some places. It doesn't feel bad imo.

[bold tiger]

i probably got 5+ i should probably filter through down to 4

[vapid nest]

Are there actually any season pass rewards right now? Cause I keep leveling up, but I can't find anything to claim.\

[left ravine]

Anniversary Pass

No season pass active atm, happens with the start of Y8S1

But you can redeem stars with the Ambush event that's about to end in a few hours. If you meant that

[bold tiger]

8 anniversary caches, some other random caches, 3 free cosmetics, 3 paid cosmetics, harrier backpack and alejandro

[vapid nest]

No, yeah, I got those. But I did buy a few levels. I guess it just keeps leveling even though technically there's nothing to claim?

[left ravine]

Oh yeah it still levels beyond tier 50

No clue why but you get no additional benefits after tier 50

[bold tiger]

i'm 50/50 and just stopped playing 😹 waiting for assault now to get that mask 👀

cause you know FOMO FTW!

april will be a lot of questions about getting trench and the assault mask. i can guarantee it

[left ravine]

What mask?

[bold tiger]

don't know the name, but it looks like a pig face mask?

[left ravine]

I'm hoping Rabbit Fire makes a return tho...

Besides Agent Yeong-Ja the only fit I really want

[bold tiger]

i did enjoy the paid look

[left ravine]

Idk the exact differences

But when it's back I'll buy

[bold tiger]

think the helmet was different? like the free i think had ears glued to the top, the paid just looked like a tactical helmet

i'd have to double check

@left ravine in case you wanted to see assault mask

[left ravine]

Lol reminds me of Payday 2

[bold tiger]

i was wondering why it looked vaguely familiar

[slow solar]

we actually have all the main payday masks in the game

[left ravine]

Yeah I got the free ones from the pass, don't care to buy the rest

[vapid nest]

What does doing Maneuvers do in Retaliation, exactly?

[left ravine]

Gives you additional time AFAIK

[slim elk]

IIRC extra XP and Time

[vapid nest]

Ah. Just asking if I was mission out on much, I hate getting the skill kill objectives.

[clever monolith]

Is it possible to get dupe exotic blueprint from retaliation?

[left ravine]

No

[vapid nest]

Using a shield should count, this sucks.

[clever monolith]

So keep farming it eventually youll have all the blueprint from an enemy faction right?

[left ravine]

I don't bother doing them. If I happen to finish one it's just coincidence

[left ravine]

Yup

[left ravine]

Shield is not a skill in that sense

[warm salmon]

You're still shooting them with your gun

[left ravine]

And it's an exception to a lot of things besides

[warm salmon]

Unless killing them with a shield melee didn't count

[vapid nest]

And my Striker shield is boosting my gun's damage.

[slow solar]

damnn

[vapid nest]

Did you already max out your 1K levels from the xp event or no?

[bold tiger]

oh what the hell?! thought i maxed it 😹

[vapid nest]

Rip those 777 levels.

Reverse jackpot moment.

[slow solar]

damn

[bold tiger]

not hard pressed for shd levels anyways

[vapid nest]

What Lv are you anyway?

I'm still a baby fish. Only5844.

[bold tiger]

#td2-build-advice message<-click this

[vapid nest]

You're quite close to hitting the final SHD emblem.

[slim elk]

will I make it in time?

I miss Doomz from the past, he would've known 😔

[vapid nest]

Honestly? nope.

[dusky notch]

missing wire scavengers is bugged for me, the NPCs dont have the icon above their head and i cant get the mission, any help? tried checking reddit n other places and cant find ANYTHING

[vapid nest]

Even with the cheese method, there's no way. You'd have to be like giga efficient.

You're welcome to keep going though, and squeeze out what you can.

[mellow trout]

if you try hard enough doable

couple of my clanmates did 0-1000 in 4 hours

[vapid nest]

I say go for it. It's gonna be hard to get an efficient group together in the little time left.

But every level gained is one less lost.

[slim elk]

the efficient group in question:

[vapid nest]

Yeah, big oof.

Ideally you want at least one person with EP rooting enemies and multiple people running HF with Regulus to just obliterate adds at spawn points.

[bold tiger]

i got the beavis fire ep build 😹 🔥

[left ravine]

Determined, Turmoil, off you go 😄

[slim elk]

TURMOIL I FORGOT IT EXISTED

they're in my main...

[vapid nest]

Use ND too.

[slim elk]

im in a burner char 😭

[left ravine]

Nah, 1886, HH, Determined, Turmoil enough

[bold tiger]

i do with merciless

[slim elk]

Def not me

[gilded berry]

Does raid/incursion exclusive exotics go to general lootpool after obtaining them aswell as the regulus after project? And can Ravenous be farmed in DZ or is that only for EB?

[inner tendon]

No, and no.

[bold tiger]

thought they added ravenous to DZ?

[inner tendon]

Rav/EB/Bighorn are available within the DZ, but the drop rate is comically low.

[vapid nest]

No, they don't get added to any loot pool. I believe, you can farm Raid exclusives in DZ, but not Regulus since that's a craft project unlock. Ouroboros Is another that can't be farmed in DZ afaik.

[inner tendon]

Literally less than 0.2%

[warm salmon]

99% of DZ Rav/EB farmers quit before hitting big

[bold tiger]

ah, was like i swore they added them and we always have this discussion. like yes it's there, but the drop is low and you got to safely extract it
the target loot doesn't increase it or give you better chances

[gilded berry]

The ouroboros is fine. Since incursions are easier. I can do that again this week with reset. I will complete my regulus project this week aswell if I get an IH group. I litterally just need rav to drop now

[bold tiger]

you could've finished that last week with a few other characters i believe? think that regulus project is account bound or am i wrong on that?

[vapid nest]

I'm just waiting for an Exotic weapon with Overdogs' talent.

[inner tendon]

The other 1% quit the game because they get farmed by Rogue squads.

[bold tiger]

Shroud MMR

[warm salmon]

Shroud is reverse overdogs

[slim elk]

sir, that's a streamer

[vapid nest]

No, it needs to pair with the actual overdogs for a double amp. And then with my sacrifice chest for a triple amp.

[gilded berry]

Did another run last night with my new toon. I was able to complete the projects with the materials needed. So with reset today I can do it on my main again. And yes the materials are account bound. But got new regulus project on new toon

[vapid nest]

You can't really use Shroud and Overdogs together unless every enemy is the same rank.

[bold tiger]

materials aren't shared until you buy that shared blueprint unless they did away with that and just made it all shared regardless?

[gilded berry]

I did the brooklyn "tutorial" for 20 mins. Went to white house. Bought e credits with scav points. Bought blueprints share then did IH

[bold tiger]

devs made changes i probably didn't read as "didn't concern me" so i wasn't sure if it was still a shared blueprint purchase or it was jut applied automatically

[gilded berry]

I did learn something tho... That is. I hate the sacrifise chest 🙂

[vapid nest]

Why is that?

[left ravine]

Obvious reasons I'm guessing

[bold tiger]

you stub your toe, you go down

[vapid nest]

Maybe don't walk into tables then?

[gilded berry]

But too many tables to walk into

[hoary cloud]

hey guys, how do you get the bloody houndsman bounties?

i'm not sure why I can't see them in my game

[inner tendon]

@hoary cloud You can ask if someone still has one down in #lfg-pc, but they're getting rare.

[hoary cloud]

I should also have them, as I haven't done any yet

[left ravine]

Bounty menu, Southwest district

[left ravine]

Looks like you don't have any

[hoary cloud]

yeah, wonder why

[left ravine]

Did you have any banked before the event had ended?

[hoary cloud]

i mean, i've only came back to the game this weekend and so far I only did one in the WONY expansion

[left ravine]

Well you seem to misunderstand something then

[hoary cloud]

I think so, yeah

[left ravine]

Those bounties could be earned during an event recently. You needed to hunt down mini-warhounds that had a chance to drop those bounties

[hoary cloud]

ah

[left ravine]

You cannot earn them anymore, but people who have those bounties can share them with other players

Hence Rivens mentioned you should give it a try in #lfg-pc

[hoary cloud]

that was going to be my next question, so thank you for that

will give it a go, maybe i find someone

[left ravine]

Np. Btw those mini-warhounds drop any named item. But ppl run it mostly because they want the Quickstep pistol

[hoary cloud]

ahaha that is me

[left ravine]

What's your ign?

[hoary cloud]

AbrahamUntitled

[left ravine]

You online rn?

[hoary cloud]

yeah, just feeding my cat

[left ravine]

LMK when you're back

[left ravine]

Man your cat eats a lot, huh?

[hoary cloud]

hahah my bad, had to make breakfast for the wife as well

[left ravine]

No prob 😄

This could have been yours, just saying :p

[hoary cloud]

this one? 😛

[left ravine]

Well played, sir!

[hoary cloud]

and one of these for good measure

[inner tendon]

Did a disney villain steal all the colour from your game?

[left ravine]

HDR probably

[hoary cloud]

i cannot find a solution to this hdr problem the game puts me automatically into

[hoary cloud]

i'm stealing this one actually, whenever someone bothers me at work I'm going to be like "did a Disney villain tell you to do that"?

[proven lion]

what is this 06 mean?

784 is my SHD watch level

[slim elk]

season level

[proven lion]

i see

[hoary cloud]

omg the assault event is crazy

[proven lion]

so how do i start the retaliation? true son circle is full

[inner tendon]

@proven lion Go kill a few True Sons, you're probably like .5% down.

It can sometimes take a quick refresher to start working.

[proven lion]

i see

i just farmed the NBA for like 5 hours straight lol

[left ravine]

Just kill a few enemies of that faction to fill up the meter

[pliant onyx]

if someone invites me to do this does it work still? none of the strongholds on my map are invaded D:

a random reddit post said tidal is always invaded but...

[inner tendon]

@pliant onyx Tidal doesn't count for that.

You need to complete the 3 Invaded Missions each week, in order to unlock the Invaded Stronghold, and finishing that unlocks Tidal Basin.

[pliant onyx]

ah so i just cant do an invaded stronghold for this yet? there isnt any on my map

[inner tendon]

Check Manning Zoo, that can count.

[pliant onyx]

im presuming by "invaded" it means by tusk, correct? meaning this wont work

[inner tendon]

@pliant onyx It's Capitol Hill this week.

[pliant onyx]

wait so do i now need to wait a week orsm bc its not invaded for me xd

its true sons it doesnt say invaded

[inner tendon]

Just do the 3 missions and it should work fine.
then you can "toggle mission mode" if needed. That only works if it's already Invaded this week for everyone.

[pliant onyx]

does this work? i cant find any invaded missions D:

[open wing]

Hello there. Has anyone figured out the fix for no vibration on PC? I have a Dualsense Edge and a Dualsense, and I get absolutely zero vibration on either, unless I set the audio output to the controller speakers, then it seems like it's using haptics but they are very weak, and no adaptive triggers (not sure if the game supports them though). It's not my controllers or PC, no issues in other games. I also tried emulating an Xbox controller via DSX (usually does the trick if the game dislikes Dualsense) but even then there's no vibration. I tried a bunch of things people posted on Reddit, like editing the state.cfg file, but nothing seems to work except emulating the haptics via DSX, but it isn't the real thing

[inner tendon]

They're on the far-right side of your map, Jefferson Plaza is one.

[raw tartan]

Me and my buddy are doing the current event and wondered if anyone knows where to find the “snitch”

[maiden oak]

for the Library: when i add items to the library those items get broken down and removed from my inventory correct? if i do not want those items to be broken down or even shown in the library do i just need to add the item to Favorite (for example the weapons and loadout i am using currently.)

[austere turret]

Can I start a Retaliation as a group? And if yes, how hard are retaliation both as a group and solo?

[warm salmon]

It's easier as a group

[austere turret]

Then I must find people

[wide patrol]

how can i get Nemesis sniper and whats world tier 5?

[cloud forge]

If anyone can help me, please.....on 03/05/2026 the game The Division 2 was banned due to the use of exploits and cheats, which I never used...on 03/07/2026 I received an email that the sanctions were lifted and that I can play the game....to this day I still can't get into the game because it appears as a ban...of course I posted that email on the page where I opened the ticket with the request to synchronize my game without a ban with the server so I can play....where can I contact you because I don't receive any response on the page with the open ticket?Thank you in advance for the answer and please excuse this message being so long

I also uninstalled the game then re-installed...nothing,same issue,still banned 🙂

[nimble spruce]

We don't have any official support staff here, the ticket you've opened is the only way to resolve account-specific issues like this. Although judging by the posts on the support discord, you're not the only one with this problem.

[cloud forge]

Sorry,i didnt want to disturb,but i didnt know what else i could do....so,i'll wait then....thx for answer,all the best

[nimble spruce]

You likely need to complete the story up to tidal basin and reach level 40 to unlock the endgame, it sounds like you're not quite there yet

[warm condor]

whats the best components farm?

[stray cobalt]

hello, How can I increase my global expertise level? I'm locked at 3 at the moment. I heard with crafting and donating weapons? But how does that work or is there a better option?

[nimble spruce]

What specific type of components? If you just mean the ones you donate to control points, there's a spot in West Potomac Park that has a decent number, if you run there from the safehouse to the north (in foggy bottom) you'll pass a couple of other boxes of components on the way too.

[nimble spruce]

You need to increase proficiency in more categories of weapons, gear and skills, either by using them, donating them, or donating crafting materials.
At the early stages the easiest approach is just to mark all loot you don't need as junk and then 'donate all junk' (just extract max stats and talents to the recalibration library first)

[stray cobalt]

@nimble spruce thank you! because I have 14 days of playtime already on my character, but I'm most of the time maxed out on resources

[nimble spruce]

When donating resources I'd recommend prioritising stuff that's hardest to use/donate (exclusive exotics, dz-locked named items etc)

[warm kelp]

I’m a newer pc player and I’m having an issue with trying to launch TD2. Every time I try to launch it just pulls up Ubisoft connect and tells me Ubisoft connection is lost while I still have a stable connection. Anyone know how to fix it?

[nimble spruce]

Seems to be a problem with Connect's auth servers today

[limber dove]

Sounds like that’s a common issue over the last few hours

[alpine spear]

server down?

[warm kelp]

I was gonna say because Im having issues just trying to get connect pulled up on the browser as well

[alpine spear]

I legit just bought a activision bundle, then suddenly I was kicked out and cant get in lol

[warm kelp]

Well at least its not just affecting me then it seems to be on their end

[warm condor]

Yep those ones, and thanks, ill check that out

[warm condor]

Oh wait i think i got confused, i mean t he components you need to donate to weekly project

im in west potomac park, but jus seems to have the other stuff, like steel etc

[gilded berry]

Is there a list of locations where global events doesn't apply? Except countdown/raids?

[subtle grove]

How the hell do I not get sniped by those bs hyena turrets in retal

[warm condor]

nvm i found it, big green screw icon lol

[nimble spruce]

Zoom in on the map and look for an area with the same icon

[warm condor]

Yep ty

[nimble spruce]

They're all over the map but the one in West Potomac Park has the most in DC I think. Can get >250 if you grab the two boxes along the way

[little orbit]

Is there any point to setting global difficulty to heroic instead of challenging? I read somewhere that challenging would be better for convenience. I wanna know what you guys think.

[gritty hazel]

I just bought the Ultimate edition, should I play the Campaign or Realism?

[fickle ravine]

heroic world difficulty makes all control points level 4 so you don't have to waste time increasing their alert level

[visual current]

Ok!! What am I doing wrong ?

[warm salmon]

better xp from activities

[fickle ravine]

you killed yourself

[visual current]

I did not do anything 🤔

[fickle ravine]

are you constantly getting killed at that location

[visual current]

yes

[fickle ravine]

restart the mission i guess

[whole ether]

do you guys think the +3 skill tiers being permanent would be bad for the health of the game both pve and pvp?

[fickle ravine]

it's not permanent

[whole ether]

would

[fickle ravine]

maybe that's why it's not permanent

[warm salmon]

of course a permanent buff equal to 3 yellow gear pieces wouldnt be good

[whole ether]

why not?

[fickle ravine]

significantly reduced tradeoff for investing into skills

if you combined with technician, you get 4 free skill tiers without adding gear

add just 2 skill cores and you're at 6

[junior sequoia]

he didn't took the DC-62 vaccine

[whole ether]

build diversity and counter play + balance imho

[strange harbor]

DC-62 the yellow stuff killed you

[fickle ravine]

the screenshot was in black and white so i didn't see the dc-62

[whole ether]

skill builds get armor or reds. blue builds get tiers which means util and red builds get tiers which means more util or enhanced gunplay

[bright trail]

Campaign

[warm salmon]

what build diversity is there, all it gives the meta is giving all reds stronger shields and skills

[whole ether]

hybrid for example

[fickle ravine]

hybrid builds are supposed to not perform as well as dedicated builds

[whole ether]

hydrid doesnt mean healer

[fickle ravine]

i didn't say healer

[feral karma]

you're thinking niche and hipster builds getting more viability but in the end the strong would get stronger and stay meta

[whole ether]

the skills get stronger but so does the ability to destroy and counter them

like a redbuild could break a hive but this healer has 1.7m so they dont insta die and can react

[warm salmon]

i dont think it's active in pvp is it

[whole ether]

it is

[fickle ravine]

at the very least it's active in DZ

[whole ether]

but in pve i dont think a red build would complain about a more Dr def drone and 5 foams

or 3 revive charges

[fickle ravine]

1. def drone is kinda useless
2. so instead of build diversity, we just successfully reduced it by cutting out the need for a dedicated CC foam user

[whole ether]

def drone is useless in pve?

[fickle ravine]

yes

[whole ether]

uh 70 dr is not useles twin

[fickle ravine]

there's a reason why nobody uses it in pve

[whole ether]

nobody? idk about that

[junior sequoia]

kinda, it can't acompany you very well when you are moving, and it's battery is bad.

[fickle ravine]

even when red builds use a drone, it's usually an assault drone or something to draw aggro

though a decoy is better for that purpose

[warm salmon]

i got 100 dr doctors hate this one simple trick(cover)

[whole ether]

the battery is bad but im saying the dr is a lot and can let you do some pretty goofy things

in pve

[junior sequoia]

doctor home?

[fickle ravine]

why get shot when i can throw down a decoy at my feet and distract the enemies instantly

i can do stuff like run up to a group of enemies, throw down a decoy so they target the decoy first, and i get to shoot them in the back

[whole ether]

some people like drawing aggro and so like healing through it all. different strokes for different folks

[warm salmon]

as much as i want hybrid builds to be viable it'd take much more than 3 free cores to make em good

[junior sequoia]

to be fair, decoy wasn't a thing before march 2020. but yeah, 6 years later it might need a little rework.

[whole ether]

i mean i dont think a mortar build would complain about have some blues

[warm salmon]

god knows i wish foam ep worked in solo heroic

[whole ether]

i dont think a red build would complan about having 5 foams and i dont think a blue build would complain having 3 st

a healer wouldnt complain about having reds or blues

theyd love every second of it and it lets you do some pretty fun stuff that i think could be healthy for the game imho

capacitor would need to get looked at tho

[subtle grove]

How do I not get sniped by the turrets of the hyenas??

[fickle ravine]

destroy the turrets

[junior sequoia]

destroy the human engineer.

[visual current]

What do I need to do 🤔 Thanks!!

[nimble spruce]

Just avoid standing around in the yellow clouds, run around them (and don't shoot the yellow barrels)

[visual current]

This never happened to me before 🤔 Guess I'll try again on another day.

[obsidian pike]

Anyone know where to get Rock n Roll or any acs-12

[warm salmon]

target loot, rock n roll is dz only, not sure if it drops from named caches

[obsidian pike]

Thanks, I have it targeted the DZ have armor loot right now I’m trying my luck to get it in the countdown

[nimble spruce]

Rock and roll won't drop in countdown (might occasionally appear in the countdown shop though).
It will drop in dz, conflict caches, named caches and dz vendors though.

[fickle ravine]

what

[strange harbor]

known bug, at least to the players. You have to travel between DC/NY or log out/log in

[fickle ravine]

yeah i did just that and it fixed itself

[rough trench]

I heard this type of thing happens when someone without the extension joins you?.. I wonder if anyone could confirm that.

[fickle ravine]

i think there was a moment when i forgot to turn my privacy settings back on and 3 randoms joined me

that could've been the source of the issue

[rough trench]

Ah, oki. Not sure if it has been rerpoted or not, but I'll do that again.

[cinder peak]

how long will the 5x exp last?

[rigid sandal]

Is anyone having problems logging into servers getting bravo 0-9

[fickle ravine]

already ended

[cinder peak]

ohh, i saw this on twitch, i thought it's still running 😅

[inner tendon]

It ended about 5 hours ago.

[lone atlas]

how do i start the strong hold stuff? i cant find the entrance

[nimble spruce]

Which stronghold?

[storm bronze]

I feel like I won't recover those twitch drops caches is there a way to recover them after the servers were bad?

[bright trail]

Finally my dark winter/ bulwark build's time to shine

[lone atlas]

capital hill

[nimble spruce]

First make sure the mission is active (blue icon on the map), then talk to the npc outside, wait for the one up on the crate to blow the entrance, then climb up and run in.

Unless it's invaded, then you just climb the crate and run straight in without worrying about npcs

[lone atlas]

its not blue, so how do i make it blue?

[minor ferry]

Hold G on the mission to go to mission settings, then left click on a difficulty to turn on the mission replay

[short brook]

Do i have to complete all man hunts to have access to tinkerers mask? or does completing all manhunts only unlock master difficulty? Ive read that potomac can still drop at lower difficulties (just at a lower chance)

[nimble spruce]

You can jump straight to the Manager manhunt, you don't have to do the others first. Just go to the mission options and 'toggle mission mode'.
Complete it once on any difficulty to unlock Master

And yes you can get the mask to drop on lower difficulties

[short brook]

ok that is helpful. But completing the man hunt is not a perquisite to getting the mask?

[nimble spruce]

Just the mission

[short brook]

tyvm

[lone atlas]

whats a raid? fairly new to the game and all ive ever really dine is the story mode PVE

[cosmic carbon]

does global events work in incursions/raids?

tech overdrive+assault seems gnarly for paradise lost

[fickle ravine]

global events no, but i think overdrives still work

[minor ferry]

Are they adding a higher open world difficulty? Ive heard rumors about it

[nimble spruce]

Long, 8 player mission requiring good team coordination and communication

[nimble spruce]

They teased something about increasing difficulty for experienced players but not how exactly - might be new difficulty levels but it might be something else (eg new directives)

[minor ferry]

thanks for clarification

[fickle ravine]

@fleet cloak

you get stars in the GE by doing challenges and leveling up

getting stars gives you rewards, and the stars themselves can be exchanged for things at the white house (usually people go for exotic caches)

that's it, you don't get anything else out of the GE other than the obvious gameplay changes

[pliant onyx]

im already level 40 and done tidal basin, done manning aswell

wondering if me joining someone doing a invaded stronghold works for it?

[nimble spruce]

Then why is your tidal basin restricted in this picture? It's not normally.

[pliant onyx]

idk D:

[nimble spruce]

Did you maybe do some of the story strongholds or invaded strongholds in someone else's map?

[pliant onyx]

a point to note is i only started maybe a week ago so i aint the most knowledgeable

[pliant onyx]

hm i do play with a friend but typically im hosting

[nimble spruce]

It's very odd. If you look at your 'progression' tile from the main menu, what does it suggest as your next activity?

[pliant onyx]

kekw, #1 is what am tryna do

[nimble spruce]

Ok, not sure what exactly has gone wrong but I'd suggest doing Capitol Building (regular version, story difficulty, not invaded) again in your own map to see if that triggers the story invasion.

If it does, you'll need to do three invaded strongholds, then a red side mission south of the white house, then tidal basin again, all on your own map

Can potentially skip this by going to NY or Brooklyn if you own either of the dlcs, but that will auto-complete any side missions you haven't done yet

[pliant onyx]

hangon this looks promising

SORTED WOOT

just incase anyone is as stupid as me, it was because i didnt activate a specialization.
i activated one and i got this mission with the co-ordinator that caused them all to be invaded

[vapid nest]

That's been there forever. It just designates points of interest, like the DZs.

[wary basin]

question, i come back to the game few days ago, i already completed the base games and first dlc years ago, and already completed brooklyn dlc recently... so why this mission keeps showing up for me? and how to complete it?

[vapid nest]

Talk to Manny.

He's been lonely lately.

[wary basin]

😭

i cant find him

[vapid nest]

He's supposed to be behind the door upstairs in the situation room.

[wary basin]

yea, the mark go to that door, but its closed

[vapid nest]

There's no prompt on the door itself?

[wary basin]

no

[nimble spruce]

Quite often previous season intro missions can reappear for players who didn't play those seasons, there's not much you can do other than ignore it, will likely disappear next season

The Castle was rebuilt way back in Broken Wings season iirc, it's probably from then

[vapid nest]

Try starting the intro through the Legacy Manhunt menu? Maybe that fixes it.

[digital blaze]

is there a mod for the striker drone that buffs its damage?

[vapid nest]

Yes.

[wary basin]

some days ago i did one manhunt mission that gave castle upgrade after complete it (didnt figure what was about so i ignored), could be this?

idr what mission was

[digital blaze]

is it like just uncommon to get? i tried to craft it but my last 50 crafts didn't give me anything

[vapid nest]

There's a lot of mods to get. It's all RNG and the odds are heavily against you. We're easily talking over 30 different mods you could get.

I would recommend just farming them instead of sinking mats into what's essentially a gambling machine.

[digital blaze]

so countdown and target skill mods?

[vapid nest]

Summit, Countdown, or Retaliation with Target Loot set to Skill mods.

Countdown is fine but you'll never get maxed mods on Challenging difficulty.

[bright trail]

does explosive resistance help against outcast rushers?

[nimble spruce]

The actual buff size is only about 5% at max anyway not really worth caring about. Likely additive with other skill damage buffs so even smaller in practice

[vapid nest]

Yes. As does Burn Resistance and Protection from Elites if the rusher is Elite.

[wary basin]

if i use more stability mods for the weapon it will do nothing, right?

[vapid nest]

Not really.

More than anything, Stability affects recoil, which for Division 2 means how much the crosshair is going to deviate from where you're trying to aim.

With enough stability, your gun basically turns into a laser pointer, and then accuracy becomes the bottleneck, which dictates how much your crosshair "blooms" or spreads out per shot.

Typically though, most players aren't going to need giga accuracy or stability except in very specific cases.

Personally, I've never used Stability or Accuracy mods unless there's no other weapon mod that I would have gone for instead, like CHC or CHD.

[wary basin]

even with the stability bar maxed the crosshair still moves a bit, my question is if i add even more stability it will increase even more or the bar is the hard limit?

[vapid nest]

Some SMGs lack a CHC/CHD mod on the underrail so I'm forced to use Stability or Accuracy.

[wary basin]

its rifle build

[vapid nest]

That, I'm not 100% sure. But that much for a rifle is already more than enough. You really don't need more than that.

The Classic M1A is a perfect example of a rifle with already excellent stability built in, even without mods.

[wary basin]

this one is the UIC15 MOD2

[vapid nest]

Yeah, that Rifle doesn't really need Stability. Let me ask, what's your watch level?

[wary basin]

1629 if not mistaken

[vapid nest]

You're already getting 10% from the watch as is, which is a decent enough boost.

I'm not saying Stability is unnecessary, it can and does absolutely play a big role in some builds. But weapon mods is typically reserved for something else AFAIK.

[wary basin]

im not using stability mod on it, but i was wondering if it could benefit even if the bar is maxed

[vapid nest]

Probably not, and if it did, would hardly be noticeable.

[storm bronze]

@idle jetty the thing is uhhh, I can't really start outcasts or true sons

[idle jetty]

Just kill an enemy

Go finish a control point

[storm bronze]

I just did...

[vapid nest]

But why even put more on it? Just to have zero recoil at all? You'd get a lot more value out of damage or magazine mods.

I'd really only recommend stability on guns like the SVD which have abysmal recoil.

[idle jetty]

Try one more and relogg if still bugging out like this (you can only have one “active” at a time)

[wispy merlin]

you need the stability stat to be 100%, the bar on the gun doesn't mean anything, you view the percentage in stats screen

[wary basin]

i mean, yes, you right, but the crosshair still have that small movement, maybe it could remove it 100%? idk, just thinking about

[inner tendon]

If you have one active in NYC/Brooklyn, it might glitch out or something.

[wary basin]

oh, didnt know that, ill check later, thanks

[storm bronze]

I doubt I do have one in one of these locations

[vapid nest]

It wouldn't be worth the investment. Other attributes give you more value per percentage than Stability on the UIC15 MOD2

[tired aspen]

I had the same prob on Sunday. Never was able to figure out how to fix it. And I don't have the DLC.

[storm bronze]

Just killed an enemy and nothing
