[rare storm]

Do the Iron Horse keys resett on a fix day oder 1 week after i claimed them?

[unique jetty]

How do I get perfect vigilance on my backpack ?

[slim elk]

it's tied to one bag called The Gift

you cant extract Perfect talents btw

[low grove]

where do i get black tusk tactical assessments i just want to make my overdogs!!!!

[bold tiger]

find The Gift in named caches or legacy caches

[bold tiger]

broken shd watches or wait until april for black tusk retaliations

[low grove]

so just keep farming Control points and hope the blueprint drops is what im hearing

[left ravine]

You have the bp?

[low grove]

nope

[left ravine]

You need the blueprint first to be able to craft it from scratch

[low grove]

@left ravine so this then

[slim elk]

a lot of work right

[bold tiger]

isn't it something that is given to us from retaliations anyways? the whole changing broken shd watches to materials conversion?

[left ravine]

#td2-build-advice message

Keep farming Hyena Retaliations

Wtf

fixed the link

[low grove]

I have the blueprint for overdogs. I dont have the black tusk tactical assessments to craft them

[left ravine]

Well I asked "do you have the bp" and I meant for Overdogs. My bad I guess

[low grove]

yeah i meant i dont have the blueprint for the materials

[left ravine]

Yeah I get it now. You can farm BT named enemies for the assessments, but as others already mentioned, in order to craft them, you need THAT blueprint. Which comes from farming Control Points indeed

Might take you a while as the drops are totally random and in no order

[bold tiger]

oh yeah, i as thinking the Automated Defense parts 😹 my bad

[low grove]

i tried some BT bounties and got nothing. back to control points i guess...🙄

[left ravine]

You need both tho

[left ravine]

Throw on some music and good luck

[bold tiger]

yeah i just logged in to check myself and was like ooops, was thinking the wrong thing

[low grove]

😭

[bold tiger]

but yeah, april black tusk retaltions will exist so probably much easier to farm the assements

[left ravine]

You should get some by doing BT bounties for instance, hmm

[low grove]

do they need to be a specific difficulty?

[left ravine]

I'd say at least challenging but not sure

[bold tiger]

can run tidal basin as well as it's always black tusk anyways

[left ravine]

It seems that nowadays most BT bounties are challenging by default anyways

[left ravine]

Not enough named enemies

[low grove]

ahh just did a challenging BT bounty and dropped 3. thanks!

[left ravine]

Yw. Enjoy the Overdogs soon

[unique jetty]

We can’t put headshot dmg on the backpack ?

also how is this ?

[left ravine]

You can put HSD on a backpack, or wdym exactly?

Solid for a sniper, but you are using a rifle, sir/madam

[unique jetty]

Ah sorry I didn’t realize I didn’t have that attribute in the library

Is my build on the right direction towards the best Hotshot build or do I need diff pieces ?

I do have to get a sniper for sure tho

[left ravine]

You can use different variants for a Hotshot build, but it's a solid one. Hang on

[bright trail]

First ever brooklyn heroic retal completion

[left ravine]

Next time please put your build question/s in #td2-build-advice
Here is a variant they call "HotDogs" which is also nice:

[unique jetty]

Ah sorry and thx for the heads up

Ahhh nice I think I have everything there actually except for the rifles can that build one shot and easily clear control points on heroic ?

Where did you find that variant btw

[left ravine]

Those are only recommendations, you can use any sniper that hits hard

[unique jetty]

Do I need to have all the attributes maxed out and profiency maxed for it to one shot ?

[left ravine]

By that I mean snipers with a smaller magazine but higher base damage. Not the automatic sniper rifles

[unique jetty]

I was def planning on using the white death

[left ravine]

No you don't need that. Also if you use the talent "Determined" you can one-shot most NPCs

[left ravine]

Also my first choice usually

[unique jetty]

What piece does that go on?

[left ravine]

On your sniper rifle

[unique jetty]

Niceeee I’ll try to get that I’m excited for this build tbh I’m hoping itlll help me grind

[lucid axle]

is there any good areas to farm for offensive gear system mods? Or does it all rely on luck?

[left ravine]

Determined will definitely help you farm things faster 😄 But be aware that using Determined is often times frowned upon in random matchmaking

[unique jetty]

How come ?

[left ravine]

Targeted loot gear mods can help but they can drop from anywhere, basically

[lucid axle]

thank you

[left ravine]

Because you will be able to one-shot most NPCs, you will be able to kill much faster than other players basically snagging their kills

[restive bramble]

helllo guys, just made my first dedciated healer build for incursions and raids. I dont have the lefty shotgun, meanwhile what weapon can I use in its place?

[left ravine]

Not much fun for them

[unique jetty]

Yes that makes sense I usually play solo anyways and thanks for the heads up

Where did you find that hotdog build btw is there a site ?

[fickle ravine]

Any shotgun with normal Sledge will work too

[restive bramble]

but running 2 shotties in incursions, will it be ok?

[fickle ravine]

you can only proc opportunistic with shotguns/mmrs

and besides, with an FI build, you're not doing any damage

[bold tiger]

think 2nd shotgun with sledge woudl be more of equip it, throw nade. swap back to other shotgun

[fickle ravine]

your only job is to heal and buff the team

[restive bramble]

ok

build is all skill repair attribute and 2x skill haste mod and 1x skill repair mod

didnt get perfect roll on the named backpack

but its usable I think

[fickle ravine]

You don't need that much repair skill % anyway

[restive bramble]

which shotgun would you guys recommend to run apart from lefty

[fickle ravine]

My Setup bag is absolute ass but I still can instantly heal someone to max with a single heal chem

[fickle ravine]

Scorpio

[restive bramble]

yea like with scoprio. which highend shotgun with scorpio if i dont have lefty

[fickle ravine]

Also I recommend for any build advice in the future you go to #td2-build-advice

[restive bramble]

got it

[fickle ravine]

Any shotgun with normal Sledgehammer

[restive bramble]

ok, guess ill just craft one and throw the perk on it

[left ravine]

Save this image

Was made on this site but not sure if it is accessible from within the site

[bold tiger]

yeah, your link sends me to the page as if you're just visiting it with like the NBS, RG builds links

[left ravine]

The search feature is still under construction, yeah

[bold tiger]

yeah i can imagine a lot is under construction in general

[left ravine]

Smol team AFAIK

[bold tiger]

sounds like it as mrchow was asking for peeps

[left ravine]

I have no clue of HTML, Java and data bases 😄

[unique jetty]

bet tyms also can i get white death from countdown marksna target or i need a prereqq?

[left ravine]

Yes you can get it from targeted loot, alternatively run Roosevelt Island. White Death drops a LOT in that stronghold

[bold tiger]

ah it was roosevelt? was like i know i ran something and i had quite a few i looted but dismantled them all for parts if i had room 😹

[left ravine]

IIRC it has increased chances to drop from any Outcast activities but for some reason it drops mucho on Roosevelt

[inner tendon]

I've been giving them away constnatly since this update has dropped, every single Stronghold has dropped it at least once every few runs. It's odd.

[bold tiger]

yeah, something like that with a specific manhunt has bluescreen for loot in it 😹

[left ravine]

That was about a blueprint, no? Not sure

[bold tiger]

no clue, was trying to find all the master climax missions and one said Bluescreen loot was like oh? but didn't pay attention and moved on to find the next master mission 😹

[left ravine]

There was something about a Bluescreen blueprint but I don't recall the details

[bold tiger]

could've been it, i only saw bluescreen as the reward and moved on 😹

[rare flicker]

What's the fastest way to level SHD?

[slim elk]

check pins for Control Point XP Farming

[rare flicker]

ty

[empty moth]

what goes on this wall? it seems like its all your exotics but i have way more than those two

[bold tiger]

if that's White house it's all DC exotics. NY has a wall for their exotics too i believe?

[wispy merlin]

nah those are basically the oldest exotics, newer exotics just won't show up there

[bold tiger]

Nemesis, sandman, merciless, eagle bearer then my mind goes blank 😹

[empty moth]

so ig its just all like initial release exotics

[bold tiger]

something like that

includding lullaby and forget the merciless variant from level 1

[blissful raven]

is it possible to refight hunters, specifically the open world ones?

[bold tiger]

new account, or joining someone's session who hasn't done them i'm going to guess

[left ravine]

*new character AFAIK is enough

[bold tiger]

really? even though you can run to the cases and pick up the keys?

[slim elk]

each char has its own hunters

when I was on xbox last hunter bugged and never spawned, it took me 1 year to realize I could get the key in another character

[left ravine]

I did something like that for a hunter too

[bold tiger]

ahh, i know anytime i create a new character i can goto the case and all keys are sitting in front of it

[unique jetty]

I’m so unlucky lol not 1 white death dropped for me on heroic for the Roosevelt mission

Oh sorry which one was you?

[left ravine]

Did you get multiple invites?

[unique jetty]

Yea I was in a matchmake

What was ur user so I can add u

[left ravine]

O I see

[unique jetty]

I left the matchmake

[left ravine]

I can't due to your privacy settings

[slim elk]

@sacred gyro strega is solid ngl

[humble spruce]

Are the Anniversary Caches bugged? ive opened all the caches from the journey and the event pass and Im still missing like 3 or 4 vanity items.

[bold tiger]

you paid 1k or 2k premium credits?

[humble spruce]

Just the 1k

do you get more caches with the 2k??

[fickle ravine]

pretty sure you get all anniversary caches even if you don't pay

[humble spruce]

Thats what I thought too

[bold tiger]

oh? i thought 3 were free, 3 were paid?

[humble spruce]

Theyre all free

[inner tendon]

No, the 2k is just a pesti skin, stash slots, and 20 tier skips.
are you talking about the outfits from the paid tiers, or the stuff that's inside the caches, like hats and dyes, etc?

[humble spruce]

Cache contents, like an example, I never got the BOO shirt or the CERA hat

[inner tendon]

Yeah you should be able to get those for free AFAIK, might want to put in a ticket.

[humble spruce]

alright, thanks.

[slow trail]

Is the chameleon just really rare I swear I’ve gotten about 20 other exotics since trying to get it 🙄

[inner tendon]

@slow trail If you really want it, focus on completing Bounties.
for whatever reason, the Named Enemies in them drop them like a baby with no hands.

[slow trail]

Probably done 15 heroic bounties, loads of pretty objective countdown and submit target loot

[radiant salmon]

You need to be looking for something else to get the AR you want. RNG 101.

[slow trail]

Rng doesn’t like me 😂

[pulsar cipher]

Can i get most exotic from Countdown ?

[slim elk]

ye

[inner tendon]

Discard rngesus, praise lootcifer!

[pulsar cipher]

K ty

[slim elk]

@rugged stratus

[rugged stratus]

yes, how can i be of service sir?

[slow solar]

a scammer bot posted. @rivians beat you to it

[slim elk]

you just were, thank you kind sir

[rugged stratus]

you sure?

[bold tiger]

yes, thanks 🧓

[slim elk]

Im not seeing any Mortar Propaganda

[fickle ravine]

mortarganda

[rugged stratus]

i already made a few converts on multiple servers. gramps is taking a minute

[left ravine]

Mortar def. a nice change of pace

[tall sedge]

Sorry, I dropped Division 2 about a year ago and only just returned for this anniversary. I'm currently building a new DPS set and need Lexington. I read that it comes from some kind of stretch goal; what is that? and can I farm it now

[slim elk]

nope, Stretch Goals are two weeks IIRC of an event that is leveled up with Season XP and rewards caches that contain seasonal and time limited items like Lexi and Turmoil

[bold tiger]

Stretch goal is a project once you're 100/100 for the season which they run towards the end of a season. you're about 3 week late fro the last one. got something like 3-4months i'm guessing

[tall sedge]

Can I get Lexington in normal way, like farming faction or specific mission?

Or can I use other named assault rifle for the dps build

[slim elk]

no

Police M4 and Carbine 7 with Killer

[tall sedge]

currently Im using The Grudge from my old build but it seems lack of firepower

[tall sedge]

Thanks, I will start looking for these

[slim elk]

Note: Named items nor Exotics are required for every build, they are just options and, in most cases, BiS (AKA Best in Slot)

[tall sedge]

I dont have any exotic assault rifle yet. I tried to farm Eagle Bearer before I dropped the game but no work

So my only medium range weapon is Merciless lmao

[fickle ravine]

Eagle Bearer can only be acquired from the DH raid on Normal

It's also not exactly the greatest AR in existence

[slim elk]

it's mid in PvP

Follow the Lvl40 Starters Guide for more info on endgame content

[dusky saffron]

Any ideas where to get the super 90 shotgun in realism mode?
Favourite gun so far was MK47 rifle from the SHD caches in Vivian's territory.
Also can't seem to find the key from the SHD cache in Theo's territory?

[left ravine]

Is that the key from the sewers?

[slim elk]

happy new years! (?)

[fickle ravine]

this year sucks can i go back to 2019

[slim elk]

ahhh... great times

[sour mortar]

Retire until next year

[dusky saffron]

yeah, chunga should drop it or i should get it from the box? or is it bugged in realism mode?

[left ravine]

Indeed bugged

[dusky saffron]

ah lame, thanks for that, will get the rest then and leave that then.

[tall sedge]

How about St elmo engine? Can I farm it now or it is impossible like Lexington?

[bright trail]

You can farm it

Priority events or countdowb caches

I like and use st elmo more than lexington

[tall sedge]

Nice, at least I can catch up with this season

[slim elk]

always can

[tall sedge]

I looked for Lexington cause it is the first ar I can think of, beside eagle bear

[opaque wasp]

is it possible to duplicate a save on pc?

[lofty arrow]

I don't really need to worry about builds before reaching lvl 40 right

[limber dew]

Correct

[lofty arrow]

alright thanks
how viable are sniper rifles in endgame I like dealing a large single instance of damage from a distance

[limber dew]

I wouldn't worry about the build mechanics too much even after lvl 40 unless you want to invest time and effort into it, enjoy the game 😛

[slim elk]

in certain situations

[bold tiger]

not sure what you're trying to do, but the game is always online so all you really need is what you downloaded to play the game

[opaque wasp]

I have a save rn with a buddy and I don't wanna progress without him, but I wouldn't wanna go through the story all over again

[rugged stratus]

start a second agent and boost it to 40. original agent will still be where they are now

can have up to 4

[limber dew]

Yeah, you can't copy existing characters

[rare flicker]

is it better to run challenging or heroic for exotic drops?

[slim elk]

LZ or CD?

[rare flicker]

I've been running a ton of Heroic CD for exotics, and am getting nothing

Tryna get Mantis

[wraith hearth]

hey there, are servers on maintenance?

[rare flicker]

no

[slim elk]

stick to Challenging, dont bother MM into Heroic, it's also rng based so you gotta be patient

[rugged stratus]

you could run hyena retaliations for the same target loot and also a chance at unlocking the blueprint

[slim elk]

@rare flicker want help getting mantis?

[rugged stratus]

lmk if you do retals, i need watches

[rare flicker]

Sure lemme finish this run

[bold tiger]

wanted to tease doomz but i decided not to

[slim elk]

I was about to mention that lol

[rare flicker]

watches for what

[bold tiger]

i'll probably be running a lot of BT retaliations in april

[rugged stratus]

retal enable exotic crafting. watches are a crafting mat

[rugged stratus]

nice

[rare flicker]

oh right, neat

[rugged stratus]

ill be there

[bold tiger]

yeah, that AMA thread had that in there that it's coming in april

[marsh forge]

hey what's the best use of the stuff we don't use / should i destroye to get mat / should i sell / or should i keep 1 copy of each ? for like the weapon or equipment of quality premium + ??

[bold tiger]

i keep 1 of each exotic, depending on the named items. i keep at least 1 of those

[marsh forge]

i see and what do u do most destroye / sell or upgrade expertise(mastery) ?

[bold tiger]

i'm level 30 expertise so i can't get any higher so i dismantle them 😹 probably lose a lot of materials that way honestly 🤔

[rugged stratus]

you check library for rolls you can pull, donate the junk that isnt useful to expertise, then what doesnt donate you decon for materials

[marsh forge]

u have everything max out ?

[bold tiger]

probably not, just the weapons of builds i like to play a lot of. otherwise i don't really utilize expertise

[marsh forge]

perffect wasn't sure if i should upgrad expertise but i did the library

[rugged stratus]

youll want to go through the pinned build sheet in #td2-build-advice to get an idea of what items are used a lot. @snow cargo has a starter guide that helps pinpoint better gear to save as well

anyone got a copy pasta of that handy?

[slim elk]

GT?

so u coming @rugged stratus?

wanna join too @bold tiger ? 😆

[rugged stratus]

yeah, need inv

[bold tiger]

local deck will carry you two in his walker basket 😹

Almost done. 2 minutes

[bold tiger]

do i join? do i run? 🤔

[bright trail]

Artificier hive question: when playing solo no reason to deploy it right? It heals automatically

[bold tiger]

it deploys the charge from your back (not deployed) to your skills if they're in range

[rare flicker]

@slim elk Add Xeno_Lotus. I gotta change my name in here to that.

There we go.

[bright trail]

I use it for my shield. Deploying is for the group i guess

[slim elk]

join 👀

[bold tiger]

something like that, group gets some benefits from it

[rare flicker]

@slim elk What is that assassin's creed lookin fit?

Looks straight outta black flag

[opaque wasp]

how do i get ivory keys for the crate in white house

[bold tiger]

hunt 8 hunters

[limber dove]

Probably from the assassins creed event from not too long ago

[marsh forge]

why is thaat text different from what show the sscreen obliterata striker from bellow

which one should i follow ?

[limber dove]

Equalizer better

[limber dove]

But also look at the picture directly below that first image

[marsh forge]

so those ? cause i don't fully understand ): like what's the unit alloys

[fickle ravine]

the picture below is an older version of the guide (Coyote is no longer BiS for Striker, but it's still a solid option)

[limber dove]

Equalizer is a named chest from the unit alloys brand

[fickle ravine]

unit alloys is a brand set, Equalizer is a named chest of that brand set

[marsh forge]

i see thanks

[hallow thunder]

how to view where the blueprint drops? i read that its in tinkering or crafting station but couldnt find it

[cobalt apex]

Hey all quick question. So I tinkered and changed the Core Attribute on an item. The attribute I didn't change I want to optimize and level up but it says I can't? DO I need to Extract something at a % higher than what's on the item?

[limber dove]

You can only optimize up to what you have in your library

[cobalt apex]

AHHH

[limber dove]

[cobalt apex]

TY!

[limber dove]

Also make sure you have enough of the optimization materials, they’re very specific

[cobalt apex]

100%, appreciate ya!

[vagrant vortex]

does countdown still drop everyday carrier

[mellow trout]

Yes

[viral crown]

just started playing brooklyn and its bugged qwq, cant go to the refinery bc its telling me to report to te bridge, when im at the bridge

[strange harbor]

have you talked to the person there?

[viral crown]

yes

[bright trail]

look at that beauty

[fickle ravine]

💀

[limber dove]

Talk to the pilot, no?

[viral crown]

keeps saying report to the bridge

[limber dove]

Have you tried taking to the pilot

At the bridge

[spiral pier]

Hey do u know good way to grind shd lvl i need shd lvl quick

[viral crown]

literally what i said i did

[bright trail]

priority objectives?

[slim elk]

shd not season

[slim elk]

dude I told you to look at pins

[spiral pier]

Ok

[rare flicker]

How do I get these?

[spiral pier]

So I do control point

[left ravine]

You'll need to transform broken SHD watches into those

[rare flicker]

Appreciated

[buoyant narwhal]

Yo! Just pulled this weapon from a season cache, is it any good/worth building around? Haven't really done much with snipers in this game

[left ravine]

Yeah it's a great sniper

[buoyant narwhal]

We take those

[left ravine]

For advice check #td2-build-advice

[buoyant narwhal]

I also got a dark winter which I've heard is a really nice weapon

[left ravine]

Is that from a Danny Weaver cache?

[buoyant narwhal]

Was from one of my anniversary caches

[left ravine]

Ah. The weapon skin made me think that

[buoyant narwhal]

Are Overdogs or the Coyote mask better for a striker build? Debating which one I wanna try and farm tonight, I want both asp but wanna prioritize

[pulsar sparrow]

did they make a change to address the stash bug? previously i would lose access to the 50 spots in my stash when in a friends session because he didn't have the extra 50 (i had 470 in my stash and it would show 470/450, i could not put anything additional in it when this happened). now, my extra 50 is applying to his stash, but he can't use it (his stash shows 350/400, but he can't move anything in there)

[warm salmon]

Overdogs is better, but not by a lot so Coyote's is still fine

[left ravine]

Make sure to report this officially. I've seen several reports about this but it's not yet acknowledged by the devs, apparently

[rugged stratus]

idk, 30% amp is a pretty big damage boost compared to coyote

[robust fog]

Hi there, i just reached level 40 and finsihing up brooklyn. what should i do with all the loot right now? just extract to my tinkering library? deconstruct?

[late sandal]

Heyya, I am new to the game but am finding quite a few groups (mainly the later game activities) are removing me from the party before I get to prove myself. What weapons/armor/etc can I get or things can I do to prevent this? What are the must have?

[slim elk]

Lvl40 Starters Guide

[cobalt apex]

When mods drop at max do they have a certain glow? Like weapons/armor do

[slim elk]

nope

[cobalt apex]

Yikes, roger ty

[verbal fjord]

Yo anyway how to deal with an Active Cheater in the DZ?

[strange harbor]

report them is all you can do

[verbal fjord]

Damn...

Well avoid DZ South for the time being if anyone plans on going there a player named astralslayah37 is currently going around shooting randoms joes through the wall

[buoyant narwhal]

Where can I get an extened .45 magazine? I really like this gun but the 26 round magazine is killing me lmao

[fickle ravine]

Farm level 3/4 control points for days until you get it from the pool of 664 blueprints

[buoyant narwhal]

Oh joy lmao

[fickle ravine]

It's not as bad as it sounds (by a miniscule amount), you can't get duplicate blueprints, but it's still going to be a grind

[slim elk]

664 Control Points sound like absolute fun!

[fickle ravine]

For reference, it took me until I was like SHD ~500 before I got the extended 5.56 mag

[buoyant narwhal]

How do I up the level of a control point/how do I do more once I take them all?

[fickle ravine]

With no 5x xp events in the middle, all those 500 levels were hard-earned

[buoyant narwhal]

That's wild

[slim elk]

press Z then change World difficulty

[fickle ravine]

You should set the world difficulty to heroic to set their alert level to 4 first

[slim elk]

do them on Challenging

[fickle ravine]

Or challenging, yeah that works too

[slim elk]

easier and faster

[fickle ravine]

There's also a button specifically to reset control points

[buoyant narwhal]

Is it worth the extra time investment on heroic for better drop rates

[fickle ravine]

I feel my ego scream at me when I do anything below Heroic

[buoyant narwhal]

Oh fr?

[fickle ravine]

You are guaranteed a blueprint at alert level 3/4

There is no difference between doing either if you're just going for blueprints

Except for me ridiculing you /j

[buoyant narwhal]

kekw

[odd pivot]

heroic seems to be easier then i remember it being? and im not getting alot of maxed out attributes aswell.

heroic missions atleast

[slim elk]

countdown?

[odd pivot]

nope not countdown.

[slim elk]

oh, oh yeah it is

[jaunty oyster]

If I run retaliations on lower difficultys will that effect the chances for exotic blueprint rewards

[slim elk]

yup

[odd pivot]

is targeted loot farming from missions js like infinitely worse then js doing countdown?

[slim elk]

sometimes, Lincoln is the only good mission I can think of doing a great work on that

[jaunty oyster]

Depends really if ur running like a strong hold and can do legendary no but if not I'd say just do countdowns

[odd pivot]

Ok, cant do legendary at the moment. That seems to be new hardest difficulty now.

[bright trail]

If you complete an activity connected to a level 3 cp you increase it to level 4 no need to incrase world level

Heroic missions would be easier than heroic retals

[bright trail]

There is no targeted loot farming in missions. Only in countdowns, retals and sunmit

[warm salmon]

there is, you just can't pick what loot to target

[bright trail]

yes correct

[cobalt apex]

So is there a good way to farm Automated Defense Parts and Black Tusk Tactical Assessment? They don't seem to do retaliation so not sure of the best route

[bright trail]

only way to get adt is crafting using broken watches , also black tusk ta can be crafted using regular stuff (polycarbon etc)

[cobalt apex]

and it's 5 watches for 1.....hot dam

[bright trail]

black tusk ta can be obtained from optimization caches as well and soon there will be double optimization week. i would save my caches to open then

[cobalt apex]

got it, ty!

Oh wait when I crafted it made 15, thank the lord I was so worried

[left ravine]

Currently you need broken SHD watches and transform them into ADP

That might change with BT Retaliations maybe, just a guess

[cobalt apex]

Oh are BT retaliations getting added?

[left ravine]

Si

[cobalt apex]

Awesome, yeah got the overdogs pattern today so made it a goal to craft them myself, hasn't been tooo bad

[left ravine]

Cheers 👌

[stray cobalt]

hello, does someone know if I can still get the splinter cell goggles? I got a message in the ubisoft launcher but I don't understand how to get it

[left ravine]

You mean the outfit from the Anniversary Pass?

[stray cobalt]

no I mean this

[left ravine]

I have no clue what that is or where it's from. Never seen before

[fickle ravine]

Tactical Operations Center? That's something from Div 1

[stray cobalt]

it's in the ubisoft launcher it tells me discover now

[fickle ravine]

Post Office was the BoO in Div 1

That's the wrong game

[stray cobalt]

WTF so they have an extra anniversary for division 1

I didn't know because it says 10th anniversary

and on the bottom it still says play warlord of new york expansion for free. This is weird

[half karma]

these are the current Splinter Cell masks you can get from the Anniversary Pass in Division 2 @stray cobalt

[stray cobalt]

Oh I didn't know. Because it says Ubisoft challenges

[viral crown]

gorp, first the hunters, then the brooklyn mission and now the carey tunnel, everything related to ny is so bugged :((

[jaunty oyster]

Are Acosta's kneepads worth getting?

[slim elk]

nah

[subtle bluff]

Any checkpoint XP farms?

[slim elk]

brother check pins 🤦‍♂️

[subtle bluff]

Haha sorry it’s early here, just checked, thank you

[viral crown]

[storm rapids]

How do I play the extraction mode pls can anyone help

I found 3 keys at quarantine zone what am I supposed to do

[tacit plover]

[tall scroll]

Does anyone have any advice with deal with the drone operator sextion in tidal basin leggy

[tacit plover]

[fickle ravine]

@inner tendon spam bot

[torpid quarry]

Hi any know why i can do hard mode this 3 mission ?

[warm salmon]

wdym?

[sullen geyser]

That is a project and if you have you map set up as hard difficulty is how you will do, so this meaning that you can do this is any difficulty just set you difficulty map

[sullen geyser]

Missions is only from hard to high difficulty

[viral crown]

GOD DAMN IT AFTER 3 HOURS THE ANGEL MASK HUNTER JUST DESPAWNED RIGHT INFRONT OF ME FOR NO REASON

idc what anyone says, i hate wony and its a buggy mess

[slender summit]

what is the best way to grind for attachment blueprints?

[tacit plover]

taking control points or doing retaliation

[slim elk]

@inner tendon

[warm salmon]

We're getting a lot of these recently huh

[cobalt apex]

Can you aslo get retaliations for cleaners?

[slow solar]

yes! thats how you get the cleaner blueprints!

[cobalt apex]

Gotcha, I assume you go to NY not Brooklyn?

[slow solar]

they both have rikers/cleaners zones afaik

[nimble spruce]

You might have to complete them on story difficulty first if you've never played them before, that will unlock the higher difficulties

[serene swallow]

what is these icon

[nimble spruce]

Season pass level/ season xp

[torpid quarry]

tnx man

[crimson kraken]

current way to get rock and roll?

[nimble spruce]

In no particular order:
Farm in the DZ (preferably when target loot is shotguns)

It can drop from DZ/Conflict/Named caches

Might be sold by DZ/countdown vendors

Get the crafting blueprint from reconstructed caches

Could drop from the mini warhounds in Houndsman and Bloody Houndsman bounties

[crimson kraken]

how do you get dz caches?

[nimble spruce]

Once you reach dz lvl 50, any further dz levels gained will give you a cache

[jovial mica]

guys is it ok to use custom cross hair in div2? i think it was on this discord when someone told me about that

[serene swallow]

can u transmog skins from items?

[nimble spruce]

#td2-general-chat message

[serene swallow]

tyy

[serene swallow]

where can I do that btw

[nimble spruce]

Highlight the item you want to change and hit the 'mod' option (iirc F by default), one of the mod slots is for an appearance mod.

[serene swallow]

tyy

[remote marsh]

what's with the armor attribute that can come onto chest and backpack, I can't seem to get either with the armor attribute.

[errant depot]

how can i grind st elmos and dark winteR?

[dusk anchor]

is there a way to upgrade those or do i just have to get lucky with finding maxed ones

[remote marsh]

just have to get lucky sadly, gl on your grind for those max stat mods

[dusk anchor]

thanks :D is there a good way to farm mods only or just keep grinding countdown?

[remote marsh]

hardest difficulty tends to have higher chances of you getting them but countdown/summit or even any mission where its targeted is sufficient enough

[dusk anchor]

im running countdoun on challenging for my loot farm. Still trying to get my HF with good stats.. D:

but only got like 2 mods with maxed stats and those are shit aswell so ig im just unlucky

[nimble spruce]

Forgot to mention but there's also some gear slots in the apparel menu if you scroll down which will override anything in those spots. That tends to be where you find special appearance mods that were bought, rewarded on the season track or from apparel events.

[remote marsh]

you and I both

[nimble spruce]

You can set target loot for gear mods to get more drops

[north marsh]

the weapon damage for expertise in specialization it is the minigun or the weapon that i use?

[remote marsh]

the specialization, both have their own stat that gets upgraded/improved

[civic junco]

Which one means auto deconstruct? Because neither of them are working

[nimble spruce]

On should work, but it only functions when the name of the skill mod is the same, unfortunately the naming processes are very weird (for legacy reasons) so in practice a lot of duplicate mods don't actually get deconstructed

[civic junco]

That makes sense

[nimble spruce]

@fiery widget please use #lfg-pc whenever you're looking to group with others

[civic junco]

So when it says Auto Deconstruct Skill Mods: ON that is the one you want?

[nimble spruce]

yes

[worthy flicker]

Any new codes for td2?

[hot finch]

Just finished Warlords, should I push through Brooklyn or finish the legacy manhunts?

How should I progress story wise?

I'm already lvl40 with a striker build. SHD lvl 100+.

[bold tiger]

brooklyn was a level 40 DLC within a particular manhunt. i honestly forget which, but it also had modifiers for what division 1 was using. Weapon damage/Stamina/Electronics kind of thing. hope i got all 3 right been a long while since div 1

[nimble spruce]

#ask-td2-community message
(just the last three steps in your case)

[bold tiger]

yoinking that link and putting in my personal discord for div 2 so i can grab it and link it here 😹

[nimble spruce]

it's pinned...

[bold tiger]

true, but sometimes i'm not sure where i've seen what pinned so if i can go back to a spot with little information i can grab what's needed to present here it's just easier for me oddly 😹

[errant depot]

how can i farm lexingtoon AR ?

[bold tiger]

patiently wait for an event that hands them out. typically something like stretch goals (end of season event) to get a chance at it. might not see one for 3-4 months from now

[soft ice]

best way to obtain st elmos engine?

[bold tiger]

countdown challenging assault rifle target loot/ Retaliations assault rifle target loot and can't tell you which faction has a chance to drop the blueprint to craft it

[soft ice]

queing for countdown rn its taking ages

[storm rapids]

How do I run my weekly descent project

[storm rapids]

@soft ice do u know

[bold tiger]

there are 2 enterances to descent. one just north of white house. other within the Castle Settlement. think you gotta have a side mission to meet a Wally at white house, but they're in castle

[storm rapids]

Tysm also how do I play tht mission where it's like a extraction shooters what's it called

[bold tiger]

think people mentioned Roguelite?
you start off with a side arm and a choice of a main weapon
then you also get a choice of a skill i believe as well?
then you clear rooms and at the end you get a choice of easy, medium, hard with random talents you can pick up from each of them with the nemesis gauge increase a lot on the easy and little by hard. once you hit 100% the next room you go into will be a room with a vendor to spend the in game currency to stuff, armor kit and ammo box and you face the nemesis

the talents tend to be tied to the theme for the 3 or so days. think Sloth being the most popular?

[fresh cipher]

Will this pop up ever go away or does it always say this if you have enough shd tech

[nimble spruce]

should go away when you've unlocked all the skills and perks, try scrolling the skill screen at the quartermaster to see if you've missed any

[civic junco]

Bounties are the fastest way to get credits right?

[bold tiger]

ecredits you mean? believe so

[civic junco]

Yeah I figured out my plan of attack for the next day while the expertise event is up. Get loads of credits then just buy the same skill mod with auto deconstruct on and get printer filament for days

[bold tiger]

well, fastest is really spending your scavenging points but i'd rather use those on other things

[empty moth]

does big alejandro drop from exotic caches and such? just got one in a season proficency cache and wanna know if theres other ways

[bold tiger]

only ways i know to get it is from the Aniversary caches that they give 8 out throughout the 50 levels and the season track near the end

[empty moth]

and theres no other way to obtain anniversary caches than the event pass?

[bold tiger]

far as i've seen was the only way to obtain them and once you hit 50 you gain no extra event though you can progress levels past 50 😹

[empty moth]

well its guaranteed to get it at level 46 so

will it go into the regular exotic pool after this event?

[bold tiger]

probably or during specific special events like stretch goals or other events they deem to drop the exotics into or they add the blueprints to the retaliations

[barren cave]

Coming back to the division since it released and since its been a miniute any advice for someone returning after long time as far as major changes and stuff that might be different?

[bold tiger]

depends the last time you've played
Theo Parnell Space Admin HQ is our very first global modifiers they've given us and i think 4 others beyond that continue the trend. Iron works i believe was the latest season one?
the climax missions now hand out specific exotics upon clearing it in normal to heroic below 10% i believe was listed, first master clear for character is guaranteed, other clears i dropped to 10%

[barren cave]

It really has been a minute I wanna say just before the first dls drop, I do remember the exotic missiong rind was rough trying to get anything

[bold tiger]

they also added Retalation game mode where you anger the 5 factions enough they take over control points in a random region which you get 6 hours to respond to. once inside it drops to like 30ish minutes to complete that area. each kill nets you 2 seconds added, completing the control point might give you quite a bit of time, with random manuvers nets you more time and kill squads you kill to get more time as well

btw, killing wild life in that game mode drops your time by 1 second each kill or something 😹

[limber dove]

They do

[barren cave]

i am glad to hear this because sometimes i like to hunt the deer while doing a mission cuz why not...

[bold tiger]

realism mode is for this month alone for now also if you don't own Warlords of New York it'll be free for this month as well. more so people can play realism because it's based in New York

[storm rapids]

I've been in the white house since then trying to find why they gotta hide it like this can't they mark on map

[nimble spruce]

It is on the map, in at least two different places: Castle settlement and up above the map to the right near summit

[bold tiger]

something like a lime greenish icon in the shape of a D or something?

[nimble spruce]

The one near white house is east rather than north, and doesn't work for all players

[barren cave]

okay that explains why i was so confused it kept saying i owned the expansion

[bold tiger]

27th rolls around that access will drop i imagine, people think april 2nd

[storm rapids]

Where @bold tiger @nimble spruce

[bold tiger]

did you ever find Wally at the Castle Settlement yet?

[storm rapids]

Nope idk who tht is

[bold tiger]

goto castle find wally there. the mission points in white house for some odd reason

[storm rapids]

Where is castle settlement

[bold tiger]

eastish of tidal basin i want to say?

[storm rapids]

Nvm found utn

It's greyed out fore I'm tping there

[storm rapids]

There was a lady she gave me some task to kill someone I did that idk what happened after

Castle settlement is greyed out for me

[bold tiger]

yeah i have no clue what's needed to access the descent. i was playing during it's introduction so it was just me going there speaking to wally

[random pebble]

Is doing the dark hours farm for expertise a ban offense?

[storm rapids]

https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/b0k8ni/is_the_castle_settlement_greyed_out_for_everyone/

[serene swallow]

where can u spend these?

[bold tiger]

those are textile obtained while getting duplicate cosmtics. you can spend some with danny weaver (snitch) and i think in the store with some items being buyable with textiles

[rugged stratus]

those are countdown credits

[bold tiger]

oh lol

[rugged stratus]

when you fast travel to the whitehouse, turn right into the common area and look for this desk. i think the minimum cost for an item is 75 so youll not want to bother visiting till after a couple more countdown runs. its 224~ credits for an exotic cache there iirc

vendor refreshes weekly and you can buy unlimited items and caches. if you have credits you can keep buying

[serene swallow]

oki

[storm rapids]

How to start weekly descent mission

[serene swallow]

I have 1200 currency atm

[odd pivot]

So i happen to be farming legendary summit solo, anything i shud farm first?

[rugged stratus]

these credits?

[serene swallow]

showdown credits

countdown*

[bold tiger]

people usually do legendary summit for Assault Rifle target loot to get the Big Horn

[rugged stratus]

ok cool, youre good then

[serene swallow]

yea I guess

I did many countdown runs alreayd

[odd pivot]

I kinda reached level 40 3 days ago so my library is empty im filling it out, chc and chd mostly getting the imp attributes.

[rugged stratus]

normally, the vendor is a good way to farm exotic components , but the vendor also sells dz exclusives from time to time so its worth checking after weekly reset on tuesday am(us)

[rugged stratus]

what you target doesnt matter for bighorn

[bold tiger]

oh? thought summit legendary ar gives you a chance at big horn?

[rugged stratus]

legendary bosses , so summit is still the farm... it just isnt affected by what you target. might as well target another item and kill 2 birds with 1 stone

[odd pivot]

What would u suggest i target?

[rugged stratus]

items you want high rolls on. probably mods. if you were farming gear or weapons you'll have a faster time at it by running countdown or retaliations

are you stuck solo atm?

[odd pivot]

Yeah u need gold on xbox to matchmake

[rugged stratus]

alright, yeah i would target farm a build if you are still building up. striker is a solid set. we have a spreadsheet with guides in #td2-build-advice pinned section

utilize those and adjust your targets accordingly

[odd pivot]

Ty, will check it out. Is summit a good place to farm exotics?

Only place i can do legendary consistently atm

[bold tiger]

you can do Retaliations for more loot than summit

[rugged stratus]

its alright. i used to farm it a lot, but it kinda fell off with countdown and now retaliations also having selectable target loot. if you can handle leg summit, you should be alright in heroic retaliation

[odd pivot]

Still kinda confused on how that mode works. I got killed by a 'kill squad' the first time i tried it.

[rugged stratus]

retal you can solo

[bold tiger]

yeah, if you're not prepared it can throw you through a loop like that

[rugged stratus]

yeah, youll get adds all along your path between the control points, with occasional kill squads. if heroic is rough, drop it to challenging

[odd pivot]

How do u change the diff on retal?

[open burrow]

hey

[rugged stratus]

global difficulty

[odd pivot]

Ohhhhhh

[open burrow]

can someone help me in iron horse normal 2 times ?

[rugged stratus]

map> global settings>

[open burrow]

i know the mech raid and finish it 1 time on discovery diff

[rugged stratus]

#lfg-raid-pc

[odd pivot]

Alr, ill go give it a shot ty localdeck and toothless

[rugged stratus]

gc rock community server gonna be more active for raids if you get no bites

[bold tiger]

discovery and normal has severely different mechanics

[noble snow]

ik this has probably been answered many times before but how does the eagle bearer work exactly? if i kill 3 enemies before the tenacity buff expires, do i also cleanse the delayed damage dealt to me after that as long as the buff is up? or do i need to kill another 3 enemies

[bold tiger]

you get a headshot kill to get tenacity where you don't really experience the damage you take while under it's effect. i was under the assumption you had to get 3 headshot kills during it to nullify the damage, but it's just getting 3 kills before the buff expires. each kill drops a percentage of the damage you've taken

[crude crow]

can you still get bitter sweet exotic ?

or is it locked behind an activity

[bold tiger]

honestly i forgot how i got it. if it was a seaon manhunt climax mission drop you can run whatever season was running as it's exclusive drop otherwise it could be in the exotic loot pool

[crude crow]

so its just general loot pool then

[bright trail]

Happens to all of us, you will want them to come soon enough

[terse olive]

does missions count as activities for prio objectives or does it have to be overworld stuff

[bold tiger]

i would think so, but i really don't know sorry

[bold tiger]

if you're doing an activity for priority objective it's open world things like public executions/hostage rescue/faction attacking another control point/resource convoys/etc

[terse olive]

ok thank you

[nimble spruce]

the three locations circled in red - although your map shows you're missing at least one of them. You may need to level up more and/or complete the story campaign to unlock it. Iirc the minimum lvl is 20.

(excuse all the incomplete side missions, this is my alt account)

[storm rapids]

Aight I'll lvl up to 20 and see tysm tho u da goat

[odd pivot]

Im shd 20 idt its gonna be any time soon

[bright trail]

Do them on normal difficulty

I struggled with retaliations alot. They have time pressure, and the enemies surround you aggressively

Learning the map helps alot

They will often spawn from your behind

[bold tiger]

mostly Spawn locations

oddly enough while inside you have a border you can't leave but npcs from other regions can come after you as well

[bright trail]

Yeah and sometimes guidance takes you out of region on your way to other cp

[odd pivot]

Doesn't get me anywhere near the quality of loot im getting from legendary tho.

[bold tiger]

that annoys me 😹

[bright trail]

Yeah i dont do retals for loot mostly for mats fhd faction stuff and blueprints

[bold tiger]

you going to enjoy going against BT in april? 👀

[odd pivot]

Oooo almost forgot about bps i need those

[terse olive]

does elmo's shock round add 70 to my ammo or does it convert 70 of my ammo to shock?

[bold tiger]

and if you desire to live in retals enough you can buy reconstructed caches and get named blueprints

[bright trail]

Cant wait for that grenade spam

[odd pivot]

Dont u js outright get a bp when u do a cp level 3 or 4?

[bold tiger]

when you get full stacks. you reload and get a full magazine of shock ammo. there might be a hard code limit to how much if you push that 70 further

[bold tiger]

yes, retaliations each faction drops exotic blueprints, then you buy the reconstructed with broken shd watches to get named items blueprints (minus lexington/turmoil from the top of my mind)

[bright trail]

Number one bp you need is fhd. I would do control points non stop until i get that

[terse olive]

ı am asking if that 70 ammo is taken from my ammo total ot just magically generated

[odd pivot]

Fhd?

[bright trail]

Field recon data frd? Dont know the exact name lol

You need that for expertise and optimization both and very expensive. You have to craft them

[odd pivot]

Ohh the control point flag points thingy

[bold tiger]

no clue, but i don't think it should as it's different ammo you're using

[terse olive]

oh well ı was just curious thank you regardless

[bright trail]

I dont think it gives you extra ammo

It converts your magazine

[bold tiger]

the only thing i don't know as i know on going directive tends to conserver ammo with the hollow points bullets so i'm guessing the elmo does the same thing for a magazine

[tawny wagon]

What would be the optimal way to try and farm St. Elmo's Engine, Overdogs and the like?

[cobalt crater]

True sons retalation/kill squad for st elmos (how i got mine) also do priority objectives and overdogs I got mine from setting my loot allocation to gloves in Summit

[bold tiger]

countdown challenging ar target loot for elmo, gloves for overdogs. buying exotic caches every 2 runs
other wise overdogs blueprint to craft them is from hyena retaliations but requires black tusk materials

[tawny wagon]

And would those be best done solo or in a group?

I'm assuming heroic or higher is the way to go difficulty wise?

[bold tiger]

countdown. challenging group, retals can be solo'd

[tawny wagon]

Hang on, the probabilities aren't higher on heroic? Than on challenging, that is.

[bold tiger]

people believe it is, but the times i've ran heroic i noticed no better drops than if i ran it on challenging. so i just do challegning so i don't put extra effort in for little gains if i'm lucky

[pseudo tundra]

technically they are if you are talking about countdown but not worth the extra hassle

low increase for more time wasted

so net negative in the end unless you are in squad that is focused on getting countdown credits

[tawny wagon]

I see, I see. Ok, so I need a group for Countdown and solo for Retaliations. Thanks people, appreciate the answers!

[tawny wagon]

This I didn't know. I'll have to change my whole world to challenging then, maybe.

[pseudo tundra]

countdown has matchmaking, for challenging is no problem with randoms

on heroic it can be

hence why just people just say do it on challenging

[bold tiger]

btw: a reddit post AMA they said they want to add matchmaking for retaliations at some point

[tawny wagon]

Right, that makes sense. The reason I'm asking these basic things is I came back a couple of days ago after like 5 years or so. Haven't the faintest idea of Retaliation or Countdown or anything of the sort.

[bold tiger]

got the UI Spam for tutorials for a bunch of things and mind exploded?

[tawny wagon]

Not really, no. Just a bunch of New Stuff™ that I come across all the time. And someone called Wally has been up my ass for the last days and I haven't had the time to go see what's up with that. But no UI spam, at least not that much.

[bold tiger]

wally wants to introduce you to a game mode called Descent (for me it's like summit 2.0)

[tawny wagon]

Oh great. Another new thing I've got no idea about. Wonderful.

I've got tons to learn I guess.

[tacit plover]

is the nemesis scope bugged? the charging visual is not visible anymore

[bold tiger]

known from latest update with realism mode introduction along with yellow tint, chameleon buffs not showing and many other things it's been awesome

[bold tiger]

another known bug concerning an exotic kneepad that has overdogs talent on it instead. which i suggest not getting as it'll get patched and reverted and you just have another fancy exotic component
#td2-build-advice message

[tawny wagon]

Right. Tried Countdown. Got my backside handed to me.

[pseudo tundra]

dont tell me you tried solo

[tawny wagon]

I won't. Tried challenging with eight people, which honestly was more like five.

[shadow isle]

does the realism mode give any unique rewards (gear, apparel, etc)?

[pseudo tundra]

2 weapon skins

[visual current]

How do I get passed this ? Thanks!!

[limber dew]

If I remember right if you look through the sewer to the left you should be able to shoot a yellow box lock in the distance or maybe in the room before

I spent like good 15 minutes looking for the box so I vaguely remember this one

My monitor had weird lighting too so it was extremely difficult to spot the box lock

[visual current]

Thanks!! I'm looking just not seeing it 🧐 Update: I got it. You have to shoot the lock on the door and then go back in the tunnel

[limber dew]

Oh wait, shoot the lock on the door in the left sewer

Easier probably to check a video if you want - https://youtu.be/LxnpGCox7_c?t=860 at 14:20 he solves it

[errant depot]

can i drop lexkington in named cache ?

[limber dove]

No

Can’t get it right now

[errant depot]

how can i get?

[dim pewter]

For the Library, do I just extract anything if I, say, don't need a weapon or gear piece? I just came back recently. Last time I played there were World Tiers and Gearscore

[limber dove]

You can’t

[limber dove]

My general flow is - do mission, pick everything up —> mission ends, I look through what I got and mark as junk anything I don’t want to use —> check library, extract anything that is a maxxed stat/talent I don’t have —> donate to expertise —> dismantle

[errant depot]

ye i can take from after season pass

[pseudo tundra]

there is no event happening at the moment dropping lexignton

[dim pewter]

Oooh. I see how it works, thanks

[limber dove]

Maybe in 3-4 months

But we have no idea, it could drop sooner or later

[bold tiger]

i feel april fools they should drop a LeXington that we can't equip 😹

[limber dove]

Call that a Lexingcant

[errant depot]

after 2 week maybe ?

[pseudo tundra]

no

looks unless you can see the future to answer your own question, we dont know when lexignton is going to drop

[errant depot]

i said maybee ??

[bold tiger]

they've been asking relentlessly. i told them 3-4 months

[tawny wagon]

Are there other staple things that are out of the loot pool right now? Quickshot I believe as well?

[bold tiger]

quickshot, turmoil, lexington, big alejandro, harrier currently

[tawny wagon]

Right, thanks! I've got a almost decent-ish Big Alejandro already, so missing the others.

[bold tiger]

then there's the raid exotics/incursion exotic/climax exotics

[limber dove]

Sure

[buoyant narwhal]

okay who tf is this wally guy and why cant i find him in the white house

[bold tiger]

they're in the castle settlement. they want to introduce you to descent game mode

[limber dove]

You can get quickstep from killing the mini warhounds in the houndsman bounty tho, ask for someone who has the bounty in #lfg-pc

[tawny wagon]

I've got some raid exotics from days of the yore, but haven't the newer ones.

[tawny wagon]

Is that right? Well then, that's good to know. Thanks!

[restive bramble]

apart from ouroboros, is there any other exclusive loot in incursion?

[bold tiger]

just oreo

[restive bramble]

damn, no point in going back to PL then

raids it is I suppose

[bold tiger]

for now

[restive bramble]

still need EB and more importantly ravenous

[terse olive]

ı keep being sent back to the safe house in retaliation what's up with that?

[bright trail]

You are dead

When you die you respawn there

[terse olive]

how fast am ı dying to not even realize it jeez

[limber dove]

Are you leaving the mission area

[terse olive]

hmm maybe? ı gotta get another one to see

[limber dove]

You have to stay in the specific area the retaliation is taking place, it’ll be outlined on the map

And there’s a countdown when you leave

[bright trail]

Yeah sometimes the arrow will take you out of region and if you follow it you are out. Nice trap

[placid raptor]

Is pulls like, secretly really good and I’m missing out or am I okay in ignoring it entirely

[limber dove]

Is wha

[placid raptor]

*pulse

[limber dove]

It’s free wall hacks if you want it

Not groundbreaking, but good qol

[placid raptor]

I already got my mini map

[wicked pasture]

hey guys quick question how do i get eagle bearer

[bold tiger]

i mention Dark Hours raid, someon argued with me over it's in DZ as well but dz is really low chance of it dropping and you still have to extract it. take your pick

[wicked pasture]

pretty sure u can only drop it in dz when assault rifle buff is up

but thanks for the info i didnt know u could also get it in dark hours

[pseudo tundra]

targetted loot doesnt affect the chance, so it's still minimal on DZ

[wicked pasture]

ok i heard that in a video but if u say so ill trust you ! ❤️

[bold tiger]

3rd option i didn't mention is stretch goals but that's probably not for another 3-4 months for the next one and it's getting to be a slimmer chance of it dropping as each season we get new climax exotics

[tall scroll]

why do enemies still target me even when i have cloak and decoy

[bold tiger]

you're to overpowered maybe?

[wicked pasture]

do you have to launch raid in normal mode to drop it

or does it not affect the drop

[pseudo tundra]

only normal, discovery has no drops

[bold tiger]

yes, you collect keys and open a box at the end with those keys. you can run it multiple times with each agent

[wicked pasture]

sounds like pain damn gg

[limber dove]

Threat is scuffed in this game

[restive bramble]

how long does it take to make a charac raid ready if I have lvl boost

[tall scroll]

i am trying a mantis build but i end up dying to getting shot so much that i can"t even. also they all keep moving so sniping is a pain ass

ar is just better>>

[bold tiger]

you can start off boosted to 40, or however long it took you to do that short dc tutorial to getting to the white house and boost then

[restive bramble]

oh so i can throw good gear from my main charac into the stash, make boosted charac and do raid right away for extra chances at raid drop?

[limber dove]

They’re asking about how much work they have to do to prepare for raids, after they’ve boosted

[next temple]

for the realism mode, at what point in the story should I play it?

[bold tiger]

if you got a striker build, just put it in your stash to pull out for each boosted character 😹

[tall scroll]

sniper build is kind of garbage for me at the moment (in general) as they move around so much and they still fire on me (with cloak and decoy).... time cookie cutter striker build

[restive bramble]

I really wanna get Eagle bearer and ravenous, just tryna see how much work I have to put in to make side characters ready for extra drops

[bold tiger]

or just farm up 4 striker builds and put them on your 3 other agents

[limber dove]

You probably want a gun with determined, it removes the need to aim

[next temple]

there are talents like that in the game?

[bold tiger]

realism will be gone probably the 27th i'm guessing as it's a temporary thing, people want it permanent but it's not in their plans

[limber dove]

Yes, determined is in the game

[restive bramble]

determined makes it so that once you get headshot kill, next shot is guaranteed headshot also. if that shot happens to kill, itll chain again.

[tall scroll]

i have a build with determined and still half ass. if anything with helmet shows up. you are kind of done. it just not there for me

[next temple]

besides the campaign, anything else to do in realism mode?

[limber dove]

Yes, you have to shoot helmeted enemies twice. The horror. Use foam or smth

[next temple]

also thank you

[bold tiger]

i'm not interested in it so i haven't played it. heard you complete it you get 2 specific weapon skins

[tall scroll]

foam may work but also 2 shots is a big difference as you lose chainkiller stacks and you have reaquire determined. can be done but in chaos it is very very annoying

[next temple]

are hunters in the DC overworld and if so how do I find them?

[bold tiger]

some are days, some are nights. you gotta do various things to make them spawn. one in particular is bugged and you gotta shuffle and try again

you got 8 in DC, 8 in new york and 8 in brooklyn btw

[next temple]

can they be farmed and are there any reputable guides on how to make them appear?

[bold tiger]

from what i understand. a 1 time thing per agent. can't confirm as i've gotten all 8 and other agents the keys are in front of the caches to collect so i don't know if htey'll spawn again

[next temple]

damn, are they at least in the darkzones and repeatable?

[bold tiger]

far as i know there are video guides, think there's a secrets discord for division 2 that tells how to make them spawn

no dark zone hunters far as i've heard/read but you do have 1 that follows you in DC anyways

[bright trail]

They are only doable once but there are detailed guides all over youtube

[valid bough]

i have the same issue, game is kinda hard

[formal frigate]

Need to know where I can farm exotics such as the chameleon

[uneven marsh]

countdown would be my best guess for you mate, it's where most people go... I think lol

since u can select ur targeted loot on it, or summit if you'd like

[void fossil]

Hey y’all. Not home rn when does the 3xp proficiency event end???

[faint glade]

1day 11hours~ from now

[void fossil]

So all of Monday frickin sweet dude

I’m only gonna have a few hours to play 😭

Countdown grind here I come 😈

[faint glade]

Can someone tell me whats the fastest way to obtain / farm Cleaners Tactical Assessments?

[bold tiger]

sometime later there'll be an expertise overdrive event

[void fossil]

What is it like 30 pieces of donated equipment to max a level out???

Might pull a late nighter 😳

Are there any etiquette rules for countdown??? I’ve been in a few lobbies where the team goes straight for the hunters, other lobbies where all 8 players go to the same objectives, and others where it’s only 2 of us on an objective!!!

It’s 2 hunters at the start and then 2 after the objectives are done right?

[bold tiger]

havne't ran it in a long while. vets goes for the hunters at first to swap the forget the term, but 3 directives that harms agents in there then they pick 2 objectives (not vip) that'll make the run faster to finish then go fight the last phase and extract

[gilded berry]

Is the exotic weapons at bench reconfigure suppose to show 39/40 or am I missing somethinf?

I currently have 36/40 and im missing lullaby / shroud / rav reconfigure blueprints. I just got big al.

I checked all available exotics with reconfigurations and Im suppose to have them all. Its still 39/40 unless vindicator reconfigure never made it into the game and game reads it as that?

[bold tiger]

20k new bros joining probably don't quite understand that those directives has to be swapped over to speed up your countdown run so they just do it the slow hard way

[void fossil]

Awesome appreciate the info. Yeah I’ve noticed the directives turning green make the run much easier. I’ve only lost 1 run so far.

Can’t wait for cross play

[bold tiger]

so you end up with a hacker that'll make countdown a joke? 😹

[limber dove]

Move in a group of 8, clear the outside first (kill all 4 hunters and green the debuffs), choose an objective to do as a group

[void fossil]

When you grind the same thing over and over again sometimes you look the other way for an easy run 😭

[void fossil]

Word. No one talks on console and idk how to use text chat, not sure you can???

[limber dove]

It’s manly just milling around for like 10-20 seconds until someone picks a direction and everyone follows them

[bold tiger]

probably won't matter as most probably has it "muted" as there was a time think mostly chinese were spamming "power leveling services" or "exotic drop services"

[void fossil]

I think because my shade level is kinda low no one follows me 😭 I’m assuming 200 is extremely noobish

[limber dove]

Don’t think anyone checks

Except for weirdos

[bold tiger]

maybe heroic?

[void fossil]

Someone on reddit posted a level 200,000. I assumed XP exploit!! I do get into lobby with a level 14,000 tho

[bold tiger]

many and many xp exploits

[limber dove]

There’s an xp exploit every so often

[void fossil]

I mean when I’m in the lobby I quickly hover over each name to see everyone’s level. I like Commendation score more tho. That seems like a better indicator to me.

[void fossil]

2000 is the technical max right?

[bold tiger]

1k as beyond that you only spend points for materials

[frail solstice]

There is currently no way to get the Lexington right? - I Started too late and missed the Stretch goals :/ - I have to wait for another event right?

[void fossil]

Word

[limber dove]

1000 is when you fill the watch

[bold tiger]

i'm guessing 3-4 months

[terse olive]

how difficult are the hunters you fight for the masks in overworld

[limber dove]

Yeah

[frail solstice]

St Elmos will have to do for that time then 😛

[bold tiger]

brooklyn was soloable. DC and NY bring friends

[limber dove]

M4 or famas will do more damage 🙃

[terse olive]

yeah elmo is cool but it lacks a dmg trait

[terse olive]

ok thank you

[frail solstice]

Famas with 2 Pieces of Unit Alloys right & 4 Piece Striker? | I've seen people say to use Equalizer and Backpack - Is that better than running Salvo?

[limber dove]

You can do equalizer and salvo if you don’t want to use an exotic

[bold tiger]

i enjoy hte eqaulizer/salvo combo with lexington but you can go for pretty much anything

[frail solstice]

I have Overdogs on currently and only 1 piece of Unit Alloys

[limber dove]

Equalizer chest?

[frail solstice]

Yeah full red slots on it

[limber dove]

Equalizer + overdog + 4p striker is the “meta”

[stoic palm]

why cant i find enough people to do dark hours

[frail solstice]

Okay yeah I thought so - Sweet, So now I can just adapt and build from here. Thanks for all the help! - I was checking out other builds they need things like Turmoil and say to use Lexington etc etc - All things i can't get currently

[left ravine]

If you matchmake ingame you will end up doing "discovery mode", nobody plays that. Try in #lfg-raid-pc or join the GCROCK discord if you want to play on normal difficulty, which is the only way to have a chance of getting the raid exotics

[bold tiger]

<-got the eagle bearer and found no reason to play it again unless i'm feeling generous to help someone to run it

[proud dock]

is this good?

the level 40 ones

[limber dove]

Whenever you see Lexington just think Police M4

[left ravine]

Velo = Shroud, good sniper

[stoic palm]

could you DM me a link

[winged kiln]

can you pvp on realism mode

[left ravine]

Search "hotdog" in this discord to find a build

[left ravine]

You can use google or discord discovery to find it 👍

[pseudo tundra]

no

[limber dove]

And turmoil is niche, not sure where you’re seeing them beyond specific sniper setups haha

[frail solstice]

Was a Pestilience build that had insane Regen, It just used it to spread damage - I'm fairly sure there are alternatives for it

[proud dock]

thx

[bold tiger]

Ruin Hunter mask 😹

[midnight rivet]

how long does matchmaking take for the desent

[left ravine]

Descent is not played much, try #lfg-pc or join the GCROCK discord to find others

[bold tiger]

after retaliations introduction people would rather do retaliations for reconstructed caches, otherwise it's more for the lore audio files

[steel siren]

Is extra 50 stash slots from Anniversary Bundle is permanent or only working while this season event lasts?

[left ravine]

Permanent

[steel siren]

@left ravineThanks

[proud dock]

is this good? i just got it

[left ravine]

Not much use in PvE, there are better alternatives

[marsh forge]

which ar and which talent should i have on it for the striker build ? on hte guide it said any but is there any recommandation ?

[left ravine]

Killer solo, Measured in groups

[fickle ravine]

people usually go with police m4

other options work, but police m4 is notable in that it is really easy to control its recoil and spread

[left ravine]

Yeah Police M4 and Carbine 7 are really good overall ARs

[fickle ravine]

now that I think about it i haven't tried carbine 7 yet

[marsh forge]

and this one it's an exotic ?

[left ravine]

Niche, not first choice for DPS builds

[fickle ravine]

It also claims to be an AR, but has SMG range and accuracy

[left ravine]

Currently also broken with its talent indicator - talent works but you cannot see which parts of it are active

[marsh forge]

i see and yeah that is what i saw too

[left ravine]

It's indeed a modified Vector SMG with adjusted values, not a full AR

[buoyant narwhal]

Just checked my inventory, now what the hell is this 😭

[fickle ravine]

christmas item

it can also drop from mini warhounds

[left ravine]

It's a special item that is sometime part of event loot pools

[marsh forge]

and this one xxd water rifle xdd

[left ravine]

Also has no real use

[marsh forge]

btw do we lose anything if we die in dz ? like expect contamined loot ?

[left ravine]

Yup, only the contaminated loot you pick up while being in the DZ

[lofty arrow]

are there any suggested gadgets for clearing the main story and other things before lvl 40 a youtube video I watched suggested the revive hive grenade but I'm stuck on story difficulty so I barely take any damage

[left ravine]

If you don't die you don't really need skills I'd say. Pick what you think you need. Later on you should unlock a few skills tho because you will need them. Decoy and EMP sticky, for instance

[lofty arrow]

I get decoy for taking aggro off me but whats the emp for

[marsh forge]

that is the one to get right (even tought the stat are low i know)? for the build cause it said i need a chest and then unit allow is it another chest ?

[left ravine]

You can use it for now until you find a better one

[marsh forge]

ok thanks and what does it say with the "either ceska, chest" ? i don't really understand i look dumb xd

[left ravine]

Either Equalizer or a Ceska chest with regular Obliterate

[marsh forge]

oh i see thanks

[limber dove]

It’s a typo

Unit alloys is supposed to be between “or” and “for”

[austere turret]

My mods inventory has a notification for a new mod. But I check and I have no new mods. Is there a reason why it's still persistent?

[left ravine]

Did you - scroll all the way down?

Well, "scroll" you know what I mean

[austere turret]

Any more down and my TV might open a portal.

[left ravine]

Idk, haven't heard of a bug with mods and notifications

[wicked pasture]

I had it too but it just dissapeard after some time

[austere turret]

Went to the vendor. Think I may know why. My current character profile hasn't done WONY so I can't access WONY skills or mods, but I have WONY mods I can only see through the vendor

[lofty arrow]

how do I claim journey missions it keeps showing an exclaimation mark but idk where to find it

[sweet gulch]

You need to be level 20

[lofty arrow]

ah

[strange tide]

guys where the assault rifle location this time >??? i can only see shotgun and rifle and armor ?

[pseudo tundra]

there are more brands than there are missions it might in the DLC or one of the missions outside of the map

[marsh forge]

what do i need to use to kill enemy with bleeding ?

[pseudo tundra]

otherwise do countdown

[strange tide]

tryna get elmos engine

[tawny wagon]

Just got mine from Countdown. Selected loot was assault rifle.

[lofty arrow]

are there guarenteed cosmetic drops and if there are whats the fastest way to get a face mask

[pseudo tundra]

Really depends on what item you are talking about

[tawny wagon]

Question: how are we supposed to get enough vendor points to get an exotic chest every two Countdown runs when it seems to deactivate Assault mode?

[pseudo tundra]

Countdown vendor is not the same as GE vendor

[lofty arrow]

literally just any cosmetic that covers up my entire face or at least my mouth

my character looks mad ugly

[tawny wagon]

Oh, I've been wrong this whole time then. Where can I find the Countdown vendor?

Ah, found the requisitions table.

[austere turret]

Question regarding the Assault Week. If I play a retaliation with a teammate, and they get any kill from close range, does it count for everyone on the team regardless of range? Or just the teammate?

[minor ferry]

Is Snitch anywhere rn?

idk how that trader works much lol

[austere turret]

Randomized

[minor ferry]

how do i find em

[austere turret]

Best tip I can give you is to return to the white house, logout, log back in, and then teleport to Dark Zone East- Charlie CP. Then leave the checkpoint from the exit behind you, and go East from there, up the nearest building. There should be a green arrow to indicate his presence. And if you don't see him, you repeat the process till he spawns. Better tip than "walk around till he spawns for you"

[rough trench]

Any of these locations:

[visual current]

To Kill All 16 Open World Bosses in Brooklyn do I have to do this on Heroic to get the card ? Thanks!!

[desert thunder]

How am I supposed to gain a shepherd's level or eliminate an enemy in a group of two or more players when I'm on PlayStation and I don't have PlayStation Plus which doesn't allow me to join anyone's game. Did the developers not think of this when they were doing this?

[lofty horizon]

Just do the hoarder one then ig.

I'm surprised youre even able to play division without ps plus, you never used to be able tom even go on always online games

[serene wharf]

decent?

[eternal edge]

which method is fastest for earning seasonal exp?

[desert thunder]

You can play the games that you purchase you just cant play with friend or join groups except free games like war zone and fortnight

[proven otter]

What is the shotgun high end and not from DZ meta ?idk his name lmao

[visual current]

Why is my map not like other I see on youtube ? Looks like I'm missing something on the south west side 🧐

[pseudo tundra]

just play more of the DLC and you will unlock it

[visual current]

This shows it better

[sleek snow]

is there a way to get rid of or minimize screen shake on pc

[eternal edge]

did the bounty cheesing get patched?

[vale token]

Is there anyone here who has a level 30 expertise leveled striker backpack

Can you show me a pic of the armor total on it

[dry tendon]

when it says something like this, with no markers what am i supposed to do?

[pseudo tundra]

probably one random enemy is still alive

[left ravine]

Priority objectives, strongholds/missions

[limber dove]

It’s basically never worth expertising armor

[vale token]

Okay thats why I see a lot of people at like 12 on armor but 30 on weapons

[left ravine]

Turn around. There is a group of NPCs behind from where you're facing that you have to take out. Then turn around and take out the NPCs that spawn around that monument. Its a bit of running back and forth with that bounty

[limber dove]

12 is the highest you can go before needing exotic components to upgrade

[vale token]

Understood, so ill just do the same then

[limber dove]

If you want, don’t think it’ll make any meaningful difference to survival

[bright trail]

Acs 12

[fickle ravine]

with Brazen for DPS

[proven otter]

what is the best talent and Attributes ?

[eternal edge]

if a friend didnt have the global event active when he completed journey missions, can he get the stars back

[cobalt apex]

Can you get the quickstep pistol from Legacy Season Cache?

[left ravine]

No

[cobalt apex]

Gotcha, ty!

[forest grail]

is td2 crossplay with xbox to pc now? if so how is it done?

[left ravine]

No, at some point during Y8

[left ravine]

It depends on the session host. If they disable a GE it's off for everyone in the session for as long as they're in the session

Then it has to get re-enabled again manually afterwards

[slim elk]

I beg for it to be a thing next season I BEG

[cold hearth]

Anyone else having issues with Global modifiers? Mine says they can't be activated under these conditions

Currently not running the global event

[cold merlin]

anyone knows what the 28 is for?

[left ravine]

Idk, that's the response from the AMA. Maybe they make it exciting, make it really takes longer

[left ravine]

Event pass levels, usually season pass level

[eternal edge]

will he be able to get the stars back that he had the event turned off for when he claimed them

[left ravine]

No, when a GE is off you don't earn global event stars

You can't get them retroactively

[vale token]

I just noticed in expertise at the table the number below your level changes, does that mean each level is quicker to go up in?

like i just hit level 20 and it says 0/90 but i thought earlier levels were much more

[lofty arrow]

has anyone been having issues where the audio is super crackly when using headphones on steam

[next temple]

is crossplay a thing atm or no not yet?

[pseudo tundra]

Not yet, it was just announced

[eternal edge]

so even if he turns the event back on he wont get them?

[cold merlin]

alrighty, thank you

[left ravine]

No...

[eternal edge]

ill be sure to let him kno ty

[cold merlin]

do you get exotic bps from reconstructed cache?

[inner tendon]

@cold merlin No, never.

Just named items.

[cold merlin]

alrighty, thank you

[lofty arrow]

should I be buying legendary weapons/gear from the shop if I'm under lvl 40

[inner tendon]

@lofty arrow Anything you get below Lvl 40 is trash anyway, so experiment away!

[lofty arrow]

bet thanks

[civic junco]

Anyone know how to turn off all the zooming the UI does now since the update?

[next temple]

after I finished the DC campaign, how do I find the next story beat?

[pseudo tundra]

check the pins

[rare flicker]

If I'm wanting to farm the Force Multiplier backpack, do I wanna set it to backpacks or Hana-U?

[pseudo tundra]

the brand always

each brand has very few named items while the entire backpack category is full of named items

[rare flicker]

👍

[next temple]

thank you

[lofty arrow]

I can't track this on the map is this something I can do at lvl 11

[left ravine]

You need to play Descent mode for this. No actual need to track

[tender dome]

do i need to start global event for 3x proficiency?

[left ravine]

No

[vapid nest]

@fickle ravine I found the list of dumb arcade directives I made.

[fickle ravine]

Reminds me of how I make up random new gear sets

[vapid nest]

I did have this idea for a gear set, actually.

[lofty arrow]

do I need to be lvl 40 for it or something

[vapid nest]

I think you need Lv. 40 for all late game content, and that includes Descent along with Countdown and Summit, I believe.

[lofty arrow]

damn alright

[left ravine]

Possibly, IDK

[left ravine]

Make a wish right here

[fickle ravine]

making tanks actually usuable

well except for the total armor being set to 0

[left ravine]

The threat generation I could see implemented

[vapid nest]

I like how this is essentially D3-FNC again. Nice.

[left ravine]

100% from 2pc IA is weird and actually a little low

[fickle ravine]

lol

[vapid nest]

My idea is far too weird to implement properly, I think.

[fickle ravine]

Wasn't exactly subtle when the stacking effect is literally called "Frontline"

[vapid nest]

Yeah.

[fickle ravine]

Also thought of an exotic gun

The stats are just random numbers except for the mag size

[vapid nest]

Kinda functions like Ravenous.

I also had one that I dug through.

[fickle ravine]

By the way it used to be even more obvious because I wrote "You can now use a submachine gun with the Bulwark Shield" before I removed it

I remember when I first played Div 2 I was annoyed that D3-FNC didn't come back

[vapid nest]

I found it.

[fickle ravine]

Also the 100% armor decrease was from when I played Anthem, where one of the classes had a big shield but in return they lacked an energy shield which every other class had

I remember making a gear set that was just "What if Vigilance and Glass Cannon had a child"

[vapid nest]

I did make one a long time ago that was also kind of dumb but it really made no sense. I don't think I can even find it anymore, lmfao

[fickle ravine]

+70% damage taken lol

[vapid nest]

Want to see a gear set that makes no sense? Here's a random as fk one I came up with years ago and is absurdly dumb.

[fickle ravine]

[vapid nest]

I don't know what's funnier. The amount of effort I put into making that sheet or how awful the set actually is, lmao.

[fickle ravine]

The Momento if you could equip it

[vapid nest]

In every single slot.

[fickle ravine]

Oh I just noticed that all the other pieces except for the chest and BP give 5% weapon damage

That's worse than trying to DPS with Capacitor at 6 yellow cores

Wait nvm I think it's still technically better

[trim nacelle]

Uh oh What do i do

[strange harbor]

I think I saw this in a Japanese movie once

[inland sapphire]

Yeah something “ you’ll die inna week “

[next temple]

just to double check, emp nades stun players right? Similar to what a Hunter does to imobolize a player?

[knotty wave]

No---

Those are shock/electric nades, similar to White Tusk Rushers', or Hyena Assaulters'.

All emps just simply disable skill usage and make your UI fuzzy for a good couple seconds is all----

[next temple]

do we get shock/electric nades?

[knotty wave]

I don't think so.....

[knotty wave]

Yah, couldn't find any in my list of grenades; there are skills we can use that shock I believe, but not sure either---

[lofty arrow]

what are the best offensive gadgets I been using turret and drone

[lofty arrow]

also has anyone been experiencing issues where the audio is all crackly when using bluetooth headphones

[fickle ravine]

There is no matchmaking for any raid on normal difficulty

[knotty wave]

O yah, St. Elmo's exotic assault rifle also ofc-- Has a talent that can load shock ammo into your weapon and all.

[left ravine]

I've had that with Razer headphones. Took me a good while to find drivers that work

[knotty wave]

That's Div 2 in a nutshell. 😌😌

[lofty arrow]

I'm using the latest amd drivers

[left ravine]

I'll never buy another Razer product 😂

[inland sapphire]

thats sad

[fickle ravine]

You're guaranteed to fail the raid anyway if they enabled matchmaking

[left ravine]

Just do what I suggested to you in the other channel

[fickle ravine]

Even if you know all the mechanics, I bet the other 7 will just flail around Boomer, not knowing what to do yet not listening, and fail over and over
