[runic hazel]

When u have everything from ultimate pack from any Game It shows the other editions as "owned" or "not Available"

[subtle grove]

No, it SHOWS I own the gold. Not the ultimate.

[runic hazel]

And the ultimate?

[subtle grove]

No, I have bought ultimate, but I can still buy ultimate. I "technically" only own gold.

[runic hazel]

Thats weird, maybe is related to the changes but idk

Ubi supp sucks sadly, try contact a mod from the server or a dev, dont refund since u got the credits and that can make a weird thing

[orchid totem]

I saw agents doing zoomies using the quickstep pistol. Is it possible to farm it using a Pistol targeted loot on countdown/summit?

[inner tendon]

@orchid totem Nope, only available via the special bounty, you can ask if someone is farming one down in #lfg-playstation

[bitter cargo]

I already fixed it this morning, even the best make mistakes and I’m far from the best.😂 https://shorturl.at/oSun8

[ionic dome]

any reason to farm on Countdown heroic when they have the same drop rate as challenging?

besides big exp?

[fickle ravine]

heroic countdown is simply not worth it

it technically has higher exotic drop rates and higher minimum rolls, but is a lot more difficult in exchange for very little

also, countdown is trash for XP

[hot sundial]

How does one obtain quickstep 🙁

[dim pewter]

Ask for Houndsman bounty in LFG

[pale wasp]

I was interested in buying The Division 2 for sale on steam. Will I need to purchase any DLCs to enjoy the game fully or 5o enjoy endgame?

[junior sequoia]

Missing texture, I'll put it as my PC wallpaper.

[shrewd charm]

guys why do i keep getting kicked from the game after the main campaign or realism page?

[subtle grove]

What happened to the superior apparel caches? And legacy caches?

[frail depot]

Yes

[pale wasp]

Yeah i looked into it, looks likthe Gold Editions would cover it though

[frail depot]

Enjoy the grind

[late mesa]

anyone have extra st elmo and willing to drop? been farming two days now and no luck

[pseudo tundra]

Doesnt work like that

[frail depot]

It would have to drop in game when your in a group with others to share

[late mesa]

ok

[calm harbor]

how do i reset a mission im already inside want to go back to start cahnge difficulty

[subtle grove]

Either die and walk to the start, since if you die once on heroic you go back to the beginning of the mission (only works on heroic) or tp away, and go back to the mission

[thorn echo]

Hey, is anyone having auto trouble when it comes to LMGs ?

[sturdy geyser]

Whats the best attribute to target when reorolling st Elmo's

[calm harbor]

i cant not kill this basilisk guy at roosevelt island without breaking his armor first i do too much dmg even with pistol killed him too fast

whats the trick

[pseudo tundra]

use something like demo grenade launcher or oxidizer that hits all parts

or take your time and aim

[tough bear]

breaking armor and then hitting fleshy spots always require at least two instances of damage between them, so really you just have to be careful

and also set difficulty to something lower

[sharp osprey]

Oxy

[pseudo tundra]

#lfg-pc

[calm harbor]

im using a pistol on heroic and just killing him too easily lol i dont get it

[tough bear]

you... just have to be careful then

[tough bear]

make it easier for yourself, set the scaling to normal, run oxidizer like the other recommendations above, or just be more careful with aiming and trigger control

[calm harbor]

how does normal make it easier

[tough bear]

his armor pieces have less health??????

get checkpoints for restarting the encounter????

right mb, im about to get condescending, sorry

basically, use some high powered pistol, d50 revolver whatever, you play normal so you can get to basilisk faster, have a checkpoint for intentional wipes, and his armor pieces are easier to break

the last step is to simply be careful with your aim or use oxidizer

[frail sierra]

Does anyone know how to get the Hunters Fury Blue Prints?

[quick orchid]

Go back in time

Flux capacitor in action

[jagged meadow]

what does reset happen

[quick orchid]

Come scoop me please I need bellstone also on my alt lol.

[quick orchid]

Happened this morning at like 3am EST (dc time)

[quick orchid]

fun fact, Napa parts store sells flux capacitors HAHAH

Edit, used to I guess they ran out LOL

edit edit- Ok napa lost the deal for the FC but O'reillys carrys it now LOL

[vestal flax]

i just bought the game and im planning to buy it for my friend as well, and i just realised there are dlcs, are they required for the game or are we just fine with the base game

[quick orchid]

you can just base game it now. but brooklyn is really fun. not having the 2 DLC though you miss out on a hand full of skillz though

[sour idol]

@calm harbor blinders firefly he stands stil then shoot weak points, rinse repeat

Blinder firefly

Demolisher firefly destroys weakpoints

[calm harbor]

k will try

[jagged meadow]

thanks

[ivory stratus]

Guys equaliser drop from countdown still? Done 10+ on chest piece targeted and not ONE drop

[quick orchid]

you have to target Unit alloy. "UA" is the logo. farming for generic "chests" youll be there all week

[pseudo tundra]

usually brands have very named items, while the entire gear category has many

so better go for the brand over the gear slot

[ivory stratus]

Gotcha thanks

[quick orchid]

unless you are farming for exotics, you always pick the "brand" you want. if you are farming for exotic XYZ peace you pick the peace like- ridge way you pick generic chest peace

[dense whale]

so how was the PTS?

[fickle agate]

if I have all the parts for the nemesis, why would this be locked?

im assuming since it shows the nemesis in my crafting bench that i already have the blueprint, but maybe I don't?

[quick orchid]

you have the gun you need to convert. "PinPrick"

[fickle agate]

But that gives you The Tally which i already have

[sour idol]

Scale part from Prime in Capitol Building Stronghold.
Shutter part from Shorty in Roosevelt Island Stronghold.
Bridle part from Klutz in District Union Arena Stronghold.
Obtain the Blueprint: Once you have the 3 parts from the strongholds, the blueprint drops from the boss Puck in the Grand Washington Hotel mission while it is in an Invaded state.
Craft the Nemesis: Visit the crafting table at the Base of Operations

[fickle agate]

the screenshots i shared shows i have all the parts

[magic sandal]

You have the blueprint?

I think its like Duck's or something

You get it from the invaded grand washington hotel from a boss

[fickle agate]

well thats what im unsure of based on this image - it shows as locked but does that mean i dont own the blueprint or does the nemesis showing up in this list indicate i do already own the blueprint

[pseudo tundra]

you can get a random part from doing zoo if it's invaded i think you might have gotten the last piece from there instead of puck in the hotel

[fickle agate]

so are you saying i don't have the blueprint and should be farming GWH?

GWH is currently invaded and im farming puck but still haven't seen a blueprint drop

[pseudo tundra]

huh thats odd then

puck should be the one dropping the blueprint and last piece

just chcek if there wasnt a project that needed to done for it

[quick orchid]

ooo you have to buy it from Inya

iirc**

[nimble spruce]

Do you have a completed nemesis in your stash or inventory? If so, move it to the inventory of a second character, and then you should be able to get the blueprint from puck (should drop first time given you have at least two other parts)

[fickle agate]

yeah i do have a nemesis in my inv - let me try that

yes it worked! thank you

that 5/6 bothered me for so long

[void fossil]

Hey y’all quick question

When I open the Manhunt tab and look through all the legacy hunts, the reward tab shows what rewards I will receive, including the new skills they have.

How can I tell which ones have a Master reward available? Or is it literally every single one gives you something unique on master difficulty?

Second question actually, when should I feel comfortable doing master difficulty? A fully optimized build? Haven’t even done legendary yet! But I can somewhat comfortably do heroic 5 directives with a one shot build I have.

Control point farming that is

[terse olive]

blueescreen been available as a blueprint this whole time?? from a manhunt

[mellow trout]

Every manhunt including and after Parnell has an exclusive exotic that can be a guaranteed drop on your first master clear

[void fossil]

Gotcha Parnell forward that’s what’s up

[mellow trout]

As for when to do master you'll only really know when you try it tbh

Significant step up from heroic but not as straight up difficult as legendary

Though it can be difficult in other ways via added mechanics + all enemies are elites

[spare girder]

U mean Tinkerer ryt?

[spare girder]

Or the Coyote's mask

[pseudo tundra]

they are talking about nemesis sniper

you get blueprint from puck in invaded version of grand hotel washington

not related to either of those exotic masks

[unborn plank]

can someone tell me where to get the turmoil knee pads?

[vale token]

For the demo mortar do you have to control that yourself or does it just auto target enemies

[fickle ravine]

you can't

[pseudo tundra]

event item not available at the moment

[dusty frost]

can someone tell me where the crafting station is? I've looked for it everywhere and i may have forgot D:
(white house please if possible)

[bright trail]

turn left after you enter the white house, on the left. you should see Inaya sitting there

[dusty frost]

[ivory stratus]

Whats the best talent for the ksg shotgun?

[urban surge]

hey, i just reached lvl 40 playing with my brother, we are both at 40, however i unlocked the SHD levels and he did not, we both didnt finish the main storyline nor played WONY, why did this happen?

[river vigil]

is this good

[urban surge]

also while playing toghether he sometimes wouldnt get xp when finishing a mission or activity while i did get it (we werent far away, always in the same place)

[strange fox]

Was it possible to prototype a named high-end piece? Thx in advance in the latest pts❤️

[warm salmon]

Yeah, they showed a proto lex and equalizer

[strange fox]

So since some of its roll is granted better chance for a god roll

[patent maple]

Him not having dlc maybe

[urban surge]

we both bought the ultimate edition on steam

so we have the exact same

[burnt mulch]

@urban surge after beating Keener in the warlords NYC dlc go back to DC and talk to the quatermaster

He will give you the watch

[urban surge]

but we didnt even enter WONY

thats the problem

[burnt mulch]

Oh. I don't know lol

[urban surge]

yeah, now it will be a problem because i will skyrocket in dmg difference while he wont get any xp

ok, after he restarted the game twice, then joined my session and left he got the watch

[ionic dome]

where can i find more elite scorcher enemies?

[pseudo tundra]

roosevelt island

[winged swift]

Can i get tactical assessment Bundle BPs for Rikers and cleaners without WONY?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[winged swift]

thanks my g

[regal epoch]

@median jay the reward track you're referring to is highlighted in both menus you need to interact with

you literally can't start the GE without seeing these

[median jay]

Thats not even the menu drharmS

[regal epoch]

yeah, you're referring to this one, I'm guessing

you know, the menu that's highlighted in bright orange

[median jay]

I would wager 50% of players have no idea that menu exists

Want to put money on it?

[slim elk]

(Space) View Rewards...

[regal epoch]

if all you did was press space when you get to the activation menu, you would get to this reward track
it even tells you there are rewards to get for doing the GE

[median jay]

Yes and I assumed it meant the anniversary event

With the page that has 40 so items

[proven otter]

from where i can farm for this fast ?

[left ravine]

Try Solar Farm in East Mall

[regal epoch]

the problem seems to be that you started the GE to earn stars, but ignored the reward menu that was already highlighted

[vale token]

Is there a cap on countdown credits

[slim elk]

nope, can keep collecting them

[vale token]

Perfect

[lilac forge]

Do I receive aim assist while using a controller on PC?

[slim elk]

ye

[regal epoch]

go to the National Mall, the zone in between the Capitol and the Washington Monument
run through and look for these black boxes

[vagrant pilot]

when does the shady mask promo thing when buying premium credits expire?

[left ravine]

Possibly end of this anniversary season. But maybe it remains in the story, we don't know

[sonic hamlet]

i heard that if you get the nemsis blueprint it adds it to your loot pool is this true?

[pseudo tundra]

yeah

[bold tiger]

one reason i tell people looking for it. pray Grand Washington Hotel is Invaded. they can get the 2 parts needed to get the blueprint. Tidal basin for the Adrestia, break it down. then whatever stronghold is invaded and get another part. then Grand washington Hotel for the blueprint

[oak siren]

is there any chanse to get Turmoil ??

[dapper root]

As of currently no

[lucid mural]

What do completing maneuvers in retaliations do?

[ionic dome]

whats the best place to level firewall specialization?
i count down is fine?

[left ravine]

Add extra time to your counter

[lofty arrow]

Is there a way to speed up my movement or fast travel to specific locations that aren’t safe houses/control points

Lugging it from point A to point B for 5 minutes sucks

[nimble spruce]

You get spec points from leveling and time-locked stuff (daily and weekly projects, daily bounties, weekly invasion). Don't think you'd get much from countdown though

[left ravine]

Quickstep pistol

Also leave all your control points "red" so you have some entertainment while roaming the streets

[lofty arrow]

Why is red in quotation marks

Can I still fast travel if it’s hostile

[left ravine]

Because there is probably a better term for it I just could not come up with, but you still know what's meant

[left ravine]

No

You can teleport to missions and classified assignsments tho

Good enough for me, personally

[bold tiger]

i was hoping we'd get a glimpse of the new classifieds in PTS 😹

[lofty arrow]

Damn

[left ravine]

Not as relevant as the rest

[bold tiger]

anyone buy this?

[left ravine]

I have PTSD about those things ever since the Halloween drone SFX came out. I need to know if they also have a soul-crushing SFX effect

[bold tiger]

😹 read my mind

[left ravine]

I believe most sane people are this way

[muted ether]

the bat drone hurts my ears man

woe upon anyone who uses it

[bold tiger]

unequips bat drone

[left ravine]

I leave groups where someone is using it

[bright trail]

nice. i may

i need one for stinger hive

[bold tiger]

drone and seeker mine is all you get from the bundle

[bright trail]

yeah it is always the seeker mine. no love for hives

can you use the drone one in all types?

[bold tiger]

this not good enough for hive?

or this?

[muted ether]

what’s it do
is it just red?

[bright trail]

i want it scary not funny

[bold tiger]

the rogue ones? yeah like a red cloud follows your skills

the rogue skill vfx

[bright trail]

yeah that looks good. i am game

[left ravine]

Stuff with sound needs a warning 😂 There is like zero info on this stuff

[bright trail]

is this on sale for a week generally?

[left ravine]

Will probably stay in the store like the rest

[bold tiger]

uh, yeah.....

[left ravine]

Sound effect?

[bold tiger]

no sound, just everything gets bright

[left ravine]

Hey man, no need for pistol flashlight anymore

[bold tiger]

before and after drone 😹

uh, mines does jack it seems 😹

[late mesa]

sigh been tryin two days now and st elmo wont drop lol and i havin no luk with the cache my rng is baddddddddddd

[left ravine]

Keep playing, just a matter of time

[dreamy sentinel]

5 hours of countdown and no memento : (

[late mesa]

🙁

[left ravine]

Buy the exo caches instead of relying on drops only. You don't get many exo drops in CD usually

[dreamy sentinel]

and what do you think is the best way to farm those stars

[left ravine]

I was talking about the CD vendor, not the GE vendor

[dreamy sentinel]

there is a countdown vendor??

[left ravine]

Yes, next to the helipad in the WH compound

[dreamy sentinel]

holy W, thank you

[left ravine]

Seems like many new player don't know about it

[dreamy sentinel]

i dont know many things in this game... just the other day my friend opened up a whole new game when he explained this tinkering thing

[left ravine]

Yeah, this game for sure has various learning curves

[lofty arrow]

I didn’t really understand the tinkering part besides dismantling gear to save their talents/attributes to put on other gears

But when I unlocked it said my slot level was too low or something and idk if it’s talking about my gear level or my character level

[left ravine]

Not sure exactly what you mean. Been a while since I dealt with fresh character things

[lofty arrow]

I can’t dismantle my lvl 15 high end gear on the tinkering workbench

I’m starting to assume I can only do that stuff with lvl 40 gear

[bold tiger]

you can, gotta change it to 1-30

[lofty arrow]

Change what

[bold tiger]

see where it says G Switch levels?

[left ravine]

Correct

There is a library pre-40 and one after-40

[lofty arrow]

I ain’t never looked at that thanks

[slim elk]

does pointman come with crit?

[opaque wasp]

should I go straight to the new york dlc after reaching lvl 30?

[slim elk]

if you want, you don't need WoNY to reach lvl40 anymore

[acoustic lark]

just played leg capitol building. some guy had this loadout. what type of gear is that? he was doing quite some dmg

[slim elk]

uhhh that's just lvl1 gear

I think your UI got bugged

[acoustic lark]

must be

[slim elk]

FK

[opaque wasp]

why does it say my campus settlement is locked down by black tusk? any way to solve it?

[left ravine]

A fraction of players does this for fun

But might as well be a bug, hard to tell

[slim elk]

look for a blockage around it and liberate it

[bold tiger]

sighs lost motivation on the journey for assault. not dropping to normal to get 30 melee kills 😹 got the div 1 mask anyways though

[magic sandal]

Don't think I've ever done the challenges on purpose only ever leveled during the event

[bright trail]

dont you have "sweet dreams" ?

[bold tiger]

not everything is going to be purples and reds to utilize it

[bright trail]

also 20 stars is easy. you will get it with 0 starts from the event

[bright trail]

yes. go to washington hotel. kill the 3 dudes at the start, walk away come back do it again. 30 kills is like 5 minutes

they are my buddies for all kinds of random activities. burn, shock whatever

[bold tiger]

i got my div 1 mask, no need to do more for a small amount of stars, but go knock yourself out

[tawny wagon]

The melee is easy if you happen to have Sweet Dreams.

[bold tiger]

i'm a broken record player here. i only wanted the stars fro the div 1 mask. i don't care to get anymore stars. got most everything in game, have absolutely no reason to grind the stars

[tawny wagon]

That's understandable.

[lucid axle]

What exotic weapons can I not get from countdown?

[bold tiger]

first things comes to my mind, Eagle Bearer (dark hours raid), Ravenous (Iron Horse Raid), Regulus (iron horse project), Big Horn (legendary) probably a few more not coming to my mind

[lucid axle]

thank you

[cold merlin]

are there any weapons or gears that are unable to obtain through common means? for example the lexington, is there a link or document which I can look at?

[pseudo tundra]

#td2-build-advice has a list of gear, i'm not sure if they specify those event weapons

[cold merlin]

Ok i got it, thank you

[fickle agate]

is the stack broker still bugged where you can switch the talent?

anyone willing to share their houndsman bounty to help me get the outfit? thank you!

you dont get the outfit only mask gloves and backpack

what about the hood/cape?

[left ravine]

Logically unavailable

[wide patrol]

^

[livid violet]

sorrry but i'm a recently returning player. is there a way to get the outfit now?

[wide patrol]

bosses right?

[left ravine]

Explanation: the mask, gloves and backpack were/are rewarded from defeating the Houndsman hunter. The suit was available via an event pass and is now unavailable

[livid violet]

that helps clear it up a bit. I'm going to take that as a no and wait for halloween to see if it reappears

[lucid axle]

what are the drop chance for each piece of the chatterbox?

[left ravine]

In addition to this, the OG Houndsman outfit was made a store bundle and has been in the store recently. It's also not available ATM but it might make a return. Keep checking the store weekly

[left ravine]

I think so but not sure. Google can provide more accurate info

[dapper zephyr]

is the chameleon AR good?

[left ravine]

It's alright but it's really more an SMG

[dapper zephyr]

should I invest into it or are there better AR's?

[left ravine]

There are. Idk what you mean by "invest" tho

[pseudo tundra]

it has a strong talent and limited range, so if you plan to play close range and are able to keep tha talent up, it's strong

[wispy flume]

I am dumb it was my patch amd 50

Crazy I never played the division 2 when I bought my ryzen 5 2600x when it came with the game

[somber spoke]

St Elmo's engine is often considered the "best" but it depends on what you're looking for

[fickle ravine]

it's not the "best", it's a comfy and very good AR, but even a police M4 will outperform it in terms of DPS just because of the damage talent

[wispy flume]

Lexington or bust

[fickle ravine]

lexington is only like 4% better than the police m4

[wispy flume]

4% is 4%

I suppose I will use a police m4

[fickle ravine]

a lot of people get really worked up about the 4% for some reason

i chase the lexington because police m4 is ugly

[left ravine]

M4 with Resident Evil skin is awesome

[strange harbor]

3.8% to be exact

[left ravine]

I guess my info about 5% is obsolete then

[strange harbor]

I think it was nerfed once

[fickle ravine]

ha, i am only 0.2% off

[wispy merlin]

nerds

[left ravine]

😂

[fickle ravine]

but you're the bigger nerd

counting enemy spawns in the aviary

[wispy merlin]

that was just a phase ok

don't judge me by my past

[desert furnace]

Is there a way to reconfigure the Nemesis rifle without having to make an entirely new one?

[surreal orchid]

anybody know this players name in discord?

[slim elk]

yes, you need the blueprint that you get from Invaded Washington Hotel

[desert furnace]

Do you mean the reconfigure blueprint?

[slim elk]

yes

[left ravine]

No, if you wanna be friends with them ingame just look them up via Ubisoft social menu

[surreal orchid]

no im looking for their name here so I can block all communication from this MF'er

[slim elk]

🤣

[desert furnace]

@slim elk So if I'm understanding you correctly, you get the blueprint original from Grand Washington, but then you need to wait another week to get the reconfigure blueprint?

[slim elk]

that shit made me laugh
welp, nothing you can do ig 😂

[left ravine]

Hahahahahahahhaha fair

[slim elk]

?

[desert furnace]

Basically, you have to do invaded Grand Washington Hotel twice?

[left ravine]

Just block them ingame, should be good enough

[slim elk]

wait no

[surreal orchid]

the noob lower rank tards be really blaming veterans for their stupidity.

[slim elk]

buy the Reconfigure blueprint from Inaya

[surreal orchid]

i did already, im just being thorough

[left ravine]

Yeah just block them ingame. I'd recommend you be careful as "witch hunting" is prohibited in here

[desert furnace]

I'm confused :/

[left ravine]

Chances are they aren't even in here anyway

[slim elk]

relog

[surreal orchid]

fasho, im just trying to block the toxic 🙂

[left ravine]

All g

Thx for the unexpected laugh tho

[slim elk]

:pepe_laugh:

[desert furnace]

Is this worth keeping? It's going to cost a fortune to optimize/

Also, is there any information on how long you need to hold the trigger to get max damage?

[hollow spoke]

Why does the police m4 feel better even tho it looks like the stats are shit

Is it just the health damage?

[pseudo tundra]

better than what?

[slim elk]

better than what

[pseudo tundra]

lmao

[hollow spoke]

Oh any weapon I’m using

[slim elk]

oh yeah Police M4 is better than Mosquito

what is your fastest way to farm tactical assesments guys ? for example i need lots of true sons tac assesment,,how do i farm it effeciently

[pseudo tundra]

You can craft if you have the blueprint

[north compass]

i do not have it yet

[full crown]

Oh I see season 8 coming out in April nvm

[pseudo tundra]

Control points lv3 or 4 should give them, otherwise i think true son named enemies should drop them, like bosses and i cant remember if bounties will also

[lofty arrow]

game keeps saying journey rewards available but I see nothing to claim

[north compass]

same as mine lol

[lofty arrow]

how does meeting the snitch unlock the vendor locations I see nothing new on the map

yes I got the bounty and for good measure I finished it too

[inner tendon]

You don't even need to actually take the bounty, just make them drop it.

[lofty arrow]

yea I know but nothing was showing up on the map so I went and did the bounty thinking it would show up eventually

[dim pewter]

He won't see it till Black Tusk invades DC iirc

[lofty arrow]

damn

[dim pewter]

Gotta do the Strongholds first. Maybe even Tidal Basin too

[lofty arrow]

confound it all

[dim pewter]

Yeah.. Snitch n stuff is basically part of end game I assume, just like Black Tusk

Ya know, why aren't they doing Legendary global difficulty and have White Tusk patrol/roam the map instead?

for St elmo striker firewall is a good specs right?

[inner edge]

Don't circle the building endlessly, there's a tarp with a hole. Jump in it

[thorny drift]

and what i do there

[inner tendon]

Most missions have a fairly straight-forward path, or you have to shoot a big yellow box, or a padlocked door. Just look around for a bit.

[left ravine]

Gunner

[ionic dome]

doesnt ST elmo uses shield?

[inner tendon]

Firewall is good if you want the shield, Gunner is good for the Banshee Pulse+Armour on Kill, Tech if you want to use the special underbarrel laser, you have a lot a of build options in div2.

[left ravine]

Not necessarily. If you wanna run a shield, it will most likely be Tier 0, to be used as last resort.
You want the Striker shield on a beefy build

[inner tendon]

@left ravine Striker Shield is good at Tier 0 too, for the buff.

[ionic dome]

noted

[inner tendon]

one of the best things about div2 is the sheer amount of different ways that you can set up builds.

There's usually a "meta" way, but small tweaks can be made for your own playstyle.

[left ravine]

Uh I respectfully disagree, ma'am. The shield will break too fast at tier 0 to have any use of the damage boost in my logic.
Not to mention that it's a CQC shield and Striker's is a mid-long range build

[inner tendon]

Your shield breaks fast at Tier 0 no matter what, you may as well get a tiny boost from it as you are going from side to side without a c2c move.
Strikers can absolutely be played at a closer range, actually one of the more popular variants of it is using the smg-9

[vapid nest]

First Countdown run of the day instant Delta on final objective. 10/10

[left ravine]

Yeah but you don't get into CQC situations with an AR build usually. Shield is just last resort and used as temp cover, not to deal any damage with it

Hence you'd need some blue in your build to get a real benefit from the Striker's shield

[inner tendon]

Disagree, but this is a matter of opinion and not really a "right or wrong" thing.

Oh thank God

[inner tendon]

That symbol is the Season Pass XP icon, think of it like that.

you can see it in certain Project too.

[south mica]

are the bonuses you can buy with the descent currency only for descent or do you get them everywhere?

[wispy merlin]

only for descent

[slim elk]

only in descent

desent

[proud marsh]

is all mission on the devision 2 online and must search group with 4 poeple?

[fickle ravine]

no you can do most of the content solo

even if some of it is either highly impractical and difficult to solo, or outright impossible

but that's all endgame stuff, if it's just the story it's perfectly doable

[wispy merlin]

before we go any further, if this question is because you don't know that you can just walk into the mission to start it and you thought you have to matchmake... yeah just walk into it

[proud marsh]

ahhh... i see... i just get the devision 2 yesterdey, and i start mission must wait to search group and it's preaty take a long time to find a group, my friend say to search on the devision comunity but it's hard to find new player hahaha

[fickle ravine]

wait i forgot sometimes people have that problem lmao

[wispy merlin]

yeah bro just walk into it lol

you don't have to matchmake

oooooooo i can read minds ooooooooooo 👻

[subtle grove]

Is it possible to so a legendary mission solo?

[fickle ravine]

you walk through the floating UI for the mission and it starts immediately

[fickle ravine]

yes. you will have a very fun time, trust me. it's very easy**************

[wispy merlin]

yes, all of them can be soloed

[proud marsh]

owh.... i don't know about that 🤣 i am standing infront of mission and search matchmaking for an hour

[slim elk]

Zoo easiest leggo

[subtle grove]

I... i slightly doubt that, but sure

[slim elk]

first time ragebaiting, very nervous

[proud marsh]

thanks for the information guys

[wispy merlin]

(it is the hardest one)

[subtle grove]

Lemme guess, dua easiest?

[fickle ravine]

by the way watch toastey's guides on legendary, even if you don't plan to solo any leggo stronghold it's a very good source of info of spawns and tactics and stuff

[slim elk]

ye

[subtle grove]

That makes sense, zoo is cancer to do normally

[slim elk]

and yet I cant solo it

[subtle grove]

get a good build

[slim elk]

I have one... three actually but I need more practice

[wispy merlin]

i die instantly, this difficulty is $#!?@@$#

[fickle ravine]

if your first solo leggo isn't with PVGC Striker can you really say you soloed it

[subtle grove]

stay in cover then 🗿

[fickle ravine]

exceptions will be made for any sniper/rifle/pistol build with HH and no determined

[vapid nest]

mfw when the hardest difficulty is actually difficult.

[wispy merlin]

jokes aside it took me a LOT of time to figure it out and know what the limitations the AI has, it's just a lot of practice, basically don't be afraid to die

[slim elk]

this is what I rock now

[subtle grove]

What the hell is a pvgc striker

[wispy merlin]

perfect vigi + perfect GC

[vapid nest]

The most epic gamer build there is.

[fickle ravine]

I feel like PVGC Striker would be a bit more effective in legendary because often you need to kill that drone operator or marauder ASAP and you don't have time to give a shit about archetype tiers

[wispy merlin]

soloing zoo on full red was my hardest achievement for some time... ||until the pact came out||

[subtle grove]

Overdogs my beloved

[slim elk]

he never used overdogs. the average player doesnt

[fickle ravine]

i think dien mentioned overdogs almost killed him when doing solo pact

overdogs is very good. if the marauder is literally the only enemy in the room, or the only other enemies are 3 chungas

[wispy merlin]

overdogs just didn't help for boss

i only used overdogs on sniper build and that's it

[slim elk]

@fickle ravine what do u think? can I brag if I did it with this shit?

[fickle ravine]

i mean technically it's pvgc, just not striker specifically

[slim elk]

[fickle ravine]

:(

you bring me to manning national zoo again, i'll throw fire grenades at the door

I'll also shoot the barrels of the tanks

[desert furnace]

Is this any good as a sort of starter Striker build? I'm still not sure if there's a really good named chest to get, or what unique gear piece to use.

[left ravine]

Equalizer

[fickle ravine]

Striker guide

[left ravine]

Or, Ceska w/ Obliterate

[fickle ravine]

ditch fox's prayer

Striker chest is only good when you're dealing with enemies with comically large health pools, which is usually never

[desert furnace]

What's wrong with Fox's Prayer?

[fickle ravine]

powercrept with options we have now

[left ravine]

Nothing, doesn't fit in this build well tho

[fickle ravine]

or that

[left ravine]

The Striker's chest only has a very niche use to reach its full potential. You will deal more consistent damage by using the two chest pieces I named above

[desert furnace]

Even if I have rock and roll?

[fickle ravine]

yes

enemies on anything that isn't master/legendary or in specific situations like raids and incursions will die too quickly for you to take advantage of the 200 stacks

[desert furnace]

I was thinking about the super tanks with miniguns and the like.

[left ravine]

Still too niche

[fickle ravine]

those tanks die quickly even on heroic

[vapid nest]

^

[fickle ravine]

especially if you can figure out how to stunlock them or bait them

hyena tanks and black tusk tanks have an ammo belt that you can shoot to force them to stop and fix for several seconds

true sons tanks can be melee baited and also they have a red box on their ass that will neuter them instantly once destroyed

and as for outcast tanks, just run

[vapid nest]

The only enemies you can take full advantage of the Striker chest are the spongiest ones. All others die too quickly.

To illustrate Corrupt's point: I can only think of two situations this works in. Countdown on Challenging, and very especially, Heroic.

The other is Master/Legendary, especially if you have an Eclipse Foam user.

Escalation might be a third to add to that list soon on the higher tiers.

[fickle ravine]

challenging countdown still isn't a very good case for chest striker imo because yes, each enemy is tanky, but you also have like 7 other players, a lot of the times at least one other person is shooting what you're looking at

it's only on heroic where it really makes a difference

[desert furnace]

So if ya'll had to say what goes away first out of my build, so I know what to look for in targeted loot modes, what would ya'll choose?

[vapid nest]

^ Aside from that, Striker's chest is rarely going to be useful because most enemies will either die before you build to 100, or you fail to reach them before your shit falls to like... between 0-50 stacks. And they're almost dead anyway.

[fickle ravine]

striker chest raises stack cap to 200 btw

[left ravine]

This and two messges below:
#ask-td2-community message

[vapid nest]

Exactly. So imagine killing an enemy and your just perpetually stuck at 100.

[fickle ravine]

i would suggest first getting striker kneecaps then focus on unit alloys for equalizer

or if you already have kneecaps then focus on UA directly

[desert furnace]

UA?

[fickle ravine]

unit alloys

[vapid nest]

mfw

1. Equip chest
2. Run to enemy
3. Reach 100 stacks
4. NPC dies
5. Run to other NPC
6. Stacks collapse to 50 during travel time
7. NPC dies faster and you repeat steps 3-7 every time

Is this insanity?

[fickle ravine]

[vapid nest]

What if the chest didn't increase stack size and instead just doubled stack speed so that each bullet/pellet just added two stacks instead of 1?

[west lance]

is the assassins creed loot from the event last month gone forever?

[vapid nest]

Maybe. We don't know. Event stuff has come back in the past. Depends on Massive.

[west lance]

darn

[vapid nest]

There was a Resident Evil collab, and they did have all the event times from that event sold in the store. Or at least the outfits anyway.

The only reason it got removed was because the license expired.

[desert furnace]

Gonna move my question over to the build advice channel.

[vapid nest]

Officially part of the 6K club. 😎

[hot sundial]

If I'm going for skill medic/support build. What would be what im looking for

[fickle ravine]

better ask in #td2-build-advice

[hot sundial]

Oh wrong channel. My fault

[dreamy sentinel]

how long have you been playing?

[vapid nest]

On and off since release.

[muted vale]

someone had to message me through discord as i couldnt see their in game messages... is there a setting i need to flip or something to see those messages?

[dreamy sentinel]

depends on which chat no?

like white house chat is muted by default?

[muted vale]

i ahve them all unmuted

pretty sure they were trying to message through group though

[inner tendon]

I would recommend muting the general chats ingame, they are.....not good.

[muted vale]

cant help but wonder how many people have tried talking to me but cant

[inner tendon]

As for the rest, are you within the UK? I've heard those aren't functioning right now.

[muted vale]

the UK aye

weird, any reason?

[inner tendon]

I think it's to do with that new law.

[muted vale]

which one? O.o

all im aware of is stuff surrounding pronography

[inner tendon]

Yeah this is more recent, some new "protecting children" law, that requires you to provide your ID.

[muted vale]

urgh

[inner tendon]

it's hit Aus too.

[vapid nest]

Disgusting, honestly.

Love all the government control of the new age.

[inner tendon]

A VPN entirely bypasses the issue, just letting you do with that information what you will.
(just don't use a free one)

[vapid nest]

Turning into real life Division 2 slowly,

[muted vale]

i get that social media and stuff is unhealthy but wish theyd stop flailing around like inept idiots over it, nothign theyre doign helps, its jsut causing unnecessary issues

i personally use tor browser, dont even need a vpn

[vapid nest]

Imagine a future with Gen Z and Gen Alpha as the next people in office. Better or worse? Make the call. lmfao

[inner tendon]

If you add the "Salute" emote to your emote wheel ingame and use it at the end of an activity, it's come to mean our unofficial way of saying "gg" without text chat.

[muted vale]

recently started clamping down against all this data collection stuff, even switching over to linux soon

[inner tendon]

As someone who is incapable of using voice-chat, I have a vested interest in getting around the restriction of no-text.

[stray cobalt]

Someone knows when the season pass is ending? I have finished the season pass but I forgot to claim almost all items

[inner tendon]

@stray cobalt You have until the ned of this weekly reset, so another 5-6 days.

Just finished mine today too.

[muted vale]

i feel ye rivens, though my needs are lower, im very involved in accessibility concerns myself

hearing people preach voice communication as some holy grail of problem solving in game design is one of my biggest gripes, lol

[inner tendon]

I feel that one.

[tacit plover]

is handsbasket still obtainable from the dogs in houndsman bounty?

[fickle ravine]

yup

[muted vale]

wooo

can finally run with the pack in countdown ^^

[muted vale]

man, quickstep makes doing countdown feel a hundred times bettter... i know it wouldve been a great enhancement but i never knew id appreciate it this much

[storm rapids]

I got st Elmo engine is it good

[slim elk]

yes

[muted vale]

hmmm... is there some way to use weave so its not wasted once you hit cap?

[slim elk]

optimize stuff, but leave it as it is

[muted vale]

figured that much from description, was just hoping i could do something with it like i can dump excess mats into proficiency so i dont have to deal with the deconstruct warning anymore

[hasty sentinel]

does anyone know if there are anymore one strap backpacks that don’t cost money?

[storm rapids]

Where can I see the drop items for exotic chest

[vapid nest]

Pretty much everything that isn't a Raid/Incursion/DZ/Master Mission reward is in the Exotic Cache.

[storm rapids]

Is it on wikiHow

[vapid nest]

Idk.
I use the Google Docs spreadsheet.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nrPBmOrtpkEW1j5fbcRT7L-AXgsGOqMqxXoVtopsiGM/edit?gid=1380412817#gid=1380412817

[storm rapids]

Thnx

[vapid nest]

Go to the Weapons: Named + Exotics and the Gear: Named + Exotics and the drop table tab will tell you the sources.

[dreamy sentinel]

how does one up the retaliation % on hyenas when it not even on the map

[vapid nest]

You do any number of things from killing Hyenas, to doing Hyena activities, or attacking Hyena CPs.

[calm venture]

How can change/add and increase attributes?

[vapid nest]

The percentage increase depends on the activity done.

[dreamy sentinel]

yeah but i dont see them on the map anywhere where they could be found

[vapid nest]

Go to the tinker station to recalibrate attributes to difference ones.

You can only swap attributes you have saved in your recalibration library.

Once you recalibrate an attribute, you're locked out of changing any other attributes and you can only keep changing the one you rerolled originally.

To increase an attribute, you can optimize it, but it's resource-expensive and not recommended unless the item is already almost maxed out.

[dreamy sentinel]

its just true sons and outcasts at this point, and hyenas are stuck at 94% :/

[vapid nest]

What exactly do you mean they can't be found? Like... no Hyena acitivities are spawning?

[dreamy sentinel]

everything i see on the map is either one of these 3:
Black Tusk
Outcasts
True Sons

[vapid nest]

Have you tried just reseting the map?

[dreamy sentinel]

oh but so much progress : ( but no i havent

[vapid nest]

Progress toward what?

All you do is refresh the world by resetting the CPs.

[dreamy sentinel]

but muh control points : (

[obtuse frost]

returning player question, why are retaliations so heavily farmed these days? As we can craft the assements and i guess all the players have all the exotic BP?

[vapid nest]

Generally anything in the White House/Judiciary Square/Downtown East district is Hyena controlled.

[dreamy sentinel]

anyway i reset the map this done it 🙂

[dreamy sentinel]

im doing them to get the memento backpakc or at least the blueprint for it

[obtuse frost]

i just started like few weeks ago again and last weekend was doing retals...and i have all of them already

[vapid nest]

They're basically the best way to farm exotics as Heroic difficulty guarantees one named item cache and one named exotic cache + they're the only way to get exotic/named item blueprints at the moment via crafting reconstruction caches from the exclusive material rewards through Retaliation.

Also each Retaliation match doesn't typically last more than what a Countdown match lasts. Usually anywhere between 7-12 minutes.

That's pretty much why Retaliation is so popular, and it's going to get much more popular with the added quality of life changes coming in Y8S1.

[obtuse frost]

yeah the exotic cache make sense.....yes if team is decent it takes around 10mins. But also met few 1000+ players who folded at first CP....So i wondered why just not farm challenging

[vapid nest]

Because challenging does not give you an Exotic Cache on completion.

At least not to my knowledge it doesn't.

[obtuse frost]

it does not, you are right

[vapid nest]

Also player skill is subjective. If the best players say it's the best way to do it, then it's the best way to do it.

If you're not in that same bracket either because you're just not as good at the game or your build is too poor for the difficulty, that's a personal issue the individual player would need to rectify. Not a fault of the game mode.

[obtuse frost]

tbf i dont understand your last comment

[vapid nest]

Think about it like this.

If you are the common denominator in every failed match where other players are excelling, then you are the problem and the reason the timer keeps hitting 0.

I'm not saying you specifically, I'm just giving an example.

That's not the fault of the game mode if people are eating the pavement on the first CP they run into, that's them being careless, reckless, or otherwise overconfident, and then wiping. And then the entire team suffers because of it. SHD level doesn't really have anything to do with individual skill or how good a build is per se.

So in regards to your question "So i wondered why just not farm challenging" it's because, aside from Challenging not giving an Exotic Cache, Heroic can be just as fast, if not faster than something like Countdown where'd you need a minimum of two matches just to buy one cache, and that point you might as well just farm Control Points, even without Retaliation. And that makes attempting Challenging pointless to even begin with, even if it had a higher drop chance, say 80% of dropping an Exotic cache. Cause it's still not guaranteed.

[obtuse frost]

you just worded it like i was complaining that every team i meet ended at first CP. I even said that if team know what they do its quick work. You dont need to be that offensive right at the start lol. Of course they were reckless or half asleep or whatever, but that was still retal lost (i was starting it).

[vapid nest]

What? No? I get text doesn't do a good job of getting attitude across, but that's not at all what I said. lmao. I have no idea how you came to that conclusion, I was being informative.

You also mentioned SHD levels so I thought I'd mention that it doesn't really matter what SHD they're at. They could be SHD 50K and still play like dog water. All those levels mean is how much XP you grinded, but that's about it. The bonuses from those levels save for like... a few are fairly negligible and not very impactful to gameplay.

[obtuse frost]

i said that because it seems everyone is heavily SHD focused. Some people even said they dont want to players under 500 to join. Im just 375, but i have already like maxed elmo with almost maxed gear and i can definitely hold my own in heroic, so im quite often offended 😄

or just guys have the need to explain basics of combat to everyone who is under 1000

[vapid nest]

Get in line, buddy. I'm SHD 6K and got booted once for playing Eclipse Protocol in Countdown because everyone else was Red and the new guy who was the Lead thought: "The hell is this idiot doing. Why's he not all Red?"

SHD 1.3K btw. lmfao playtime of like 24 days btw.

I should be first in line for being offended for what that guy did to me right then.

[sturdy geyser]

Guys

[vapid nest]

I can't name him either because no witch hunting rules.

[inner tendon]

@vapid nest @obtuse frost It's time to take this to a DM if you want to continue from here.

[sturdy geyser]

This wont disappear right?

[vapid nest]

We're not arguing if that's what you're implying. But we do have shared grievances in how we're being treated based on either our builds or our SHD levels, it seems.

[somber spoke]

memento or overdogs for damage?

[vapid nest]

Overdogs 100%.

[inner tendon]

Other people playing online games will insult you based on your playtime, that will just happen.
If someone does it on this server, you can report it to us.

@sturdy geyser What exactly are you asking?

[vapid nest]

Memento has to build for damage, and it won't even come close to what Overdogs has to offer. The trade-off is better survivability and skill effectiveness with Memento.

But if you know how to prioritize targets and can play a mean DPS, Overdogs will be far, far more beneficial to you in the long run.

You can even pair with Glass Cannon and increase your Amplified damage to 60% total, which is insane. Those are big ooga booga numbers. And even Legendary/Master enemies will not last when taken full advantage of. Like even more so than with a other DPS builds that don't use either.

[sturdy geyser]

Activation bundle if its gonna disappear

[inner tendon]

@somber spoke Don't feel like you aren't allowed to play a specific build because it's not as effective as something else, or it's "not meta". Div2 is all about that build experimentation.

[sturdy geyser]

Was gonna get the dlc upgrade to ultimate edition and activation bundle but im gonna go way over my budget if i do that so i decided to sideline the activation bundle

[inner tendon]

The Activation Bundle's current cosmetic bonus will be replaced by a new one next Season, most likely.

but the bundle itself will remain.

[sturdy geyser]

If i get it now, will it disappear?

[inner tendon]

It will remain there, but you can only get the bonus from it once.

[sturdy geyser]

Dang

I'll just wait for the next season outfit, the ghillie suit doesnt feel gucci for me

[inner tendon]

You can buy a new one next Season, when it has a new cosmetic addition.

If it helps, the last outfit that was included was also a ghillie suit, with a different colour scheme.

[sturdy geyser]

Yeah I'll do that, thanks. Im gonna upgrade to ultimate edition for now

And shady pack

Is the season pass gonna be 1000 credits? Next season?

[inner tendon]

Unless it changes, should be the same cost.

[sturdy geyser]

Gonna drip out my character

[vapid nest]

I believe it's always 1000 credits, no?

[sturdy geyser]

Would be nice to keep the season pass level we have now

[inner tendon]

Actually you're in luck, as since Shady comes with 2600, and each Season Pass gives you 500, that's an extra pass out of it at least.

(season pass cost's 1k, gives you 500)

[sturdy geyser]

Neat, so i only need to spend half next season

[inner tendon]

Well you spend the full 1k, but get 500 back

[sturdy geyser]

How long do each season last, heard next season is 8 and game came out like 8 years ago too. Im assuming its 1 per year?

[inner tendon]

what's the outfit included in the current Activation Bundle?

Oh like 3-4 months.

Game is 7 years old as of this month actually

[sturdy geyser]

Unless the season passes started years later

[inner tendon]

and Season's didn't start until year 2.

We had a weird period of about 4 per year, then a break where they re-ran some, then it continued. Now they go by "year 8, season 1".
you get used to the slight weirdness.

[dreamy sentinel]

how do i start the bounty that gives the quick step pistol

[vapid nest]

You can't unless you actually have it.

[inner tendon]

@dreamy sentinel You'll need to join someone who has it down in #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[vapid nest]

If you didn't get the bounty when the event was active, you're not going to get it. You need to find someone who has it and do it with them.

[dreamy sentinel]

one of my squadmates rn has it, what then?

[vapid nest]

They start the bounty and you just join them in taking down the mini hounds at the start.

If you don't get it in that first encounter, exit the immediate area and reset until it drops. And that way you can keep farming the bounty.

This what people have usually been doing to help others get their own Quickstep.

[dreamy sentinel]

i see, thanks

[vapid nest]

You can keep going further past that initial encounter, but you need to be careful in not killing the Houndsman himself. If you do, the bounty will complete and then it's gone for good this time.

[dreamy sentinel]

you say that but i met a guy who was cheesing that, if you dont actually leave the place he and the little robots respawn

[vapid nest]

Do they now? That seems a bit of an unnecessary risk, if you ask me, but hey, if it works, go for it. I prefer the leave/reset method since it's surefire.

[rough trench]

I heard there's a small specific area where you can reset the bounty without having to go all the way back to the monument. But I didn't manage to find it (not that I really tried, lol).

[north compass]

Please help me with this..
As i am getting mad as a returning player i need huge amount of tactical assesments.
What is is the fastest way other than bounties because it is not fast enough as the optimization requirements need huge amount and also i did not know what to do yesterday after all bounties for true sons was over and i havr no more.
I did tons of tier 4 control points and countdown and retaliations

[sturdy meteor]

how does one aquire the lexington ar?

[fickle ravine]

you cannot right now, wait until christmas or the end of a season

[sturdy meteor]

is it a end of the season award?

[fickle ravine]

no, random drop from stretch goals caches

[sturdy meteor]

oh okie thank u

[inner tendon]

@carmine basin you have any idea?

[dreamy sentinel]

this part of the stairs

you dont go down the stairs but you hug the furthest wall before going down the stairs and wait like 2-3 minutes and they both respawn

[subtle grove]

Couldnt you just fast travel away and then activate again like with krampus?

[dreamy sentinel]

i dont know, we really just killed everything, ran out there and it reset itself after 3 mins

[rough trench]

Never managed to do it, but I'll try. However idk, waiting 2-3 minutes is longer than running up to the monument and then back.

[dreamy sentinel]

You have the bounty? 🤔

[rough trench]

Yeah, loads of them.

[dreamy sentinel]

wdym loads of them

[fickle ravine]

you can have several copies of the bounty

I have 8 copies of the bloody houndsman bounty

[dreamy sentinel]

oh okay. if by any chance you guys will do the thing, mind if i come along?

[fickle ravine]

i would but it's like 4 am for me rn so sorry

[rough trench]

Yeah, why not. I'll let you know if I decide to do the bounty.

[solemn river]

before i upgrade my gear is there anything about reducing expertise upgrade cost?

[sturdy geyser]

I thought

Year 1 unlocks gunner tactican and firewall specialization

The specialization is usable but only 3 stat points?

[onyx folio]

Yes, it's unlocked without having to do the research path to unlock them, but you still have to level them up like the others

[sturdy geyser]

Damn

[subtle grove]

You also get some extra rewards

[sturdy geyser]

Welp gonna grind gunner

[dreamy sentinel]

i think you get 3 points per levelup

[jovial orchid]

That probably do something at easter. St elmos is very good as is carbine7

[quick orchid]

What you need. Kill dogs or whole bounty?

[runic kernel]

Hold on has escalation stuff released?

[dapper root]

Nope

[sturdy geyser]

Damn that's

[runic kernel]

Whatbhappend with the shatterd hunter bundle?

[dapper root]

Gone for now

[runic kernel]

Danm. The ONLY time I would spend for Ubisoft skins XD

[dapper root]

It will come back into the shop eventually

[dusty wolf]

trying to get st elmos engine, what's my best bet for doing that?

[dapper root]

Countdown or summit set targeted loot to ARs

[dusty wolf]

bet

currently rocking the chameleon since that ones pretty nice too but i heard the engine is the preferred gun of choice

[dreamy sentinel]

well that was easy

the very first little hound gave me quickstep, W maxxprotocol

[dapper root]

Lol

[obtuse steeple]

is there a way to see quest we currently have ?

[dreamy sentinel]

@steep compass

there you can change it

[quick orchid]

[dreamy sentinel]

well not anymore sir, a good gentleman already shared his bounty with couple people and i got it already 🥳

[quick orchid]

nice!!!!!!!!!

[feral bronze]

hi all asking info for a friend he bought the game and dlc lastnight but he doesnt have the 30th anniversary advent stuff on the menu i told hime its cause he needs to have completed the pass to level 100 and since the season pass with modifers is turned off he has no access to the 30th advent stuff or is it a bug

i know the devs in the 30th advent stream said u need to be pass 100 to unlock it

[inner tendon]

@stuck river You're looking for #lfg-playstation, GL Agent

[stuck river]

Ty

[feral bronze]

@inner tendon hi is my post correct should i tell my friend he is lucked out

[eager wraith]

I'll post proof here of the 9 blueprints I have as well as the proof I have never done the DH raid

[inner tendon]

@feral bronze If I'm reading that right, I'm pretty sure they need to be Lvl 40 to access it.

[feral bronze]

@inner tendon yeah he is 40 i boosted him lastnight and see his screen grab no 30th advent in the menus

[inner tendon]

No idea, soz.

[feral bronze]

no probs tks

[obtuse steeple]

is there a way to get caretaker g36 atm ?

[inner tendon]

I don't believe so, you may have to wait for a special event, like the Lexington.

[rough trench]

Or probably the Shepherd Event. I think we have one at the start of each season now.

[sturdy geyser]

Weird question, how do you walk straight or at least make your character stand normal and not like someone who had spinal problems since they were a child

[rough trench]

There should be a doctor at the Medical Unit on the second floor of the Base of Operations.

[slow cairn]

is there a way to turn off the annoying af flashlight on your drone? i bough the new Rogue drone skin. and the flaslight is just so brighter then my own future.

[inner tendon]

There was, but|| Kelso shot him.||

[rough trench]

Ah yes, that might be a problem... 😂

[junior sequoia]

He was also the Barber, but our agent learned barbering on his own.

[meager nest]

does difficulty affect how many kill squads you can get in retaliation?

[junior sequoia]

The game doesn't seem to get past three I think. Once I got three on true sons regions.

[oak gazelle]

nah you can get more

[junior sequoia]

Technically if we have time to spare, we can like, roam around until they appear and complete the last CP just later.

[sturdy geyser]

Will the faye lau bundle come back?

[dapper root]

Eventually

[sturdy geyser]

I wanna get her backpack

[dapper zephyr]

In the option to modify the aspect of the gear, can I make the gear look like exotic gear if I have it? I have some exotic gloves that look really cool and I did not see the option to choose that skin.

[pseudo tundra]

no exotic transmog

[dapper zephyr]

Thanks for answering, is there a reason why?

[pseudo tundra]

exotics are meant to be special and identifiable

that has changed a bit because there is cosmedic slots for backpacks and other slots

but not to make other gear look like exotics

[dapper zephyr]

Okay thanks

makes sense now

[elfin hound]

guys why cassie and danny not in my map?

[dreamy sentinel]

is there really only 50 tiers to the battlepass?

[inner tendon]

@dreamy sentinel It's a special Anniversary Pass for the franchise's 10th Birthday.
The actual full Season Pass gets added and will be 100, next Week.

[dreamy sentinel]

i was asking because even tho i got all 50 levels the game every now and then still gives me this message

[fickle ravine]

season levels exist but are completely useless atm

you'll see it in use around next week

[dreamy sentinel]

i assume its gonne be 1000 premium currency?

[inner tendon]

That's the standard Season Pass price so far, subject to change of course.

[crimson kraken]

best way to get darkwinter rn?

[weak finch]

Been seeing lots of posts about account bans this last couple of days, scary stuff... do we know whats going on?

[inner tendon]

I've not heard it mentioned a single time in this server.

speculation: It's possible that MSV are getting around to work on the cheaters.

[weak finch]

Hope thats the case, its all over on the several Division subreddits, in different languages. They all make it sound like they have no idea what it was for...

[inner tendon]

Cheaters often do.

and well, let's just say that people who cheat also tend to cause other kinds of problems, so it's possible they are....not on this Server.

[rotund grotto]

does anyone know if having the backpack and chest of a green set gives both of the extra set bonuses?

[inner tendon]

@rotund grotto Backpacks and Chests of a gearset give a specific bonus that is listed on the item itself.
you only get set bonuses if you have enough total pieces of a single set.

[rotund grotto]

im whereing mask backpack chest and holster for the set bonus im wonding if im getting both the talents fron thechest and backpack or if they dont stack

[inner tendon]

If you have both on, you'll get the Talent for both.

[rotund grotto]

thank you

[crimson kraken]

is it in gen loot pool

[inner tendon]

@crimson kraken Nope, DZ locked.

[crimson kraken]

😢

[inner tendon]

so either the DZ/named item caches, or you can try to farm Reconstructed Caches (Retal is fastest) for the blueprint.

[weak finch]

why is everyone not farming Retaliation for all of the reconstructed caches? I will never know

[inner tendon]

There's a few hundred for most newer players.

@crimson kraken One other weird source is that sometimes Countdown's Vendor (but NOT Countdown itself) will have it in stock, or other DZ items.

[crimson kraken]

cause don't you only get like one watch per retal?

[inner tendon]

you can convert an amount of the faction resources into 5 watches..

[crimson kraken]

Oh yeah true

[weak finch]

Question: do the Quickstep gun drop from the mini warhounds on the bloody houndsman bounty? Or do they drop from the hunter himself?

[inner tendon]

Honestly, Retal is the best method overall.
because after you win it, you also get a Named Item Cache, which has a a chance to drop Dark Winter.

[crimson kraken]

dang I have enough watches, not enough creds lol time to farm

[inner tendon]

Time to break out the cowboy cosplay and go farm those Bounties. 🤠

[fickle ravine]

btw slightly unrelated, a gear set's chest and/or backpack are not always the best option in a build

for example, ongoing directive backpack is completely useless

[dreamy sentinel]

you can only optimize and reconfig exotics, not tinker with them right

[nimble spruce]

From the mini warhounds

[trim gyro]

Both of them can drop it. Its just matter of rng.

[limpid sequoia]

haven't been on d2 in a good bit how do i go about completing the event pass as fast as i can

[weak finch]

yeah whenever someone asks on the general in-game chat about the bounty, I just activate it for them and leave. I was feeling bad thinking in all of those under 300 SHD agents fighting the hunter on Heroic good thing is from the mini warhounds then

[nimble spruce]

it's not guaranteed drop though so if you stick with them, just clear the first area, then deliberately fail & restart the bounty you can just keep farming it with them until they get it

[delicate tartan]

The new season wil not be relessed next week? But the week after ( 2 weeks) ?

[inner tendon]

Currently it's set for April 2nd, #news-and-announcements will have any updated info.

[delicate tartan]

Thursday nice

[weak finch]

well, grind like your life depends on it, you have 1 week. Do priority objectives, specially missions and strongholds, with as many directives as you can handle. Always call for backup or matchmake, always people helping

[inner tendon]

@weak finch Directives don't give Season XP, sorry to say.

[weak finch]

ohhh scratch that last part then

[inner tendon]

The rest was good though!

[limpid sequoia]

i was on div 1 farming the ge there

missed the cool mask from last week here
damn

i'm only lvl 13 in season pass i am so cooked

[inner tendon]

You probably are, but you can get a LOT done if you follow the "priority objective stronghold" method.

just factory line it.

[lofty crater]

Hey where is the best/fastest way to level up the SHD rank?

[compact furnace]

Is there a cap for CHD?

[limpid sequoia]

no

[compact furnace]

I know CHC is 60

Is there like a safe number? Like, a number where it wouldnt matter anymore if it goes above that number?

[limpid sequoia]

no cap for chd, you dump into chd when you reach a good enough chc threshold

[compact furnace]

Thanks!

[inner tendon]

@sudden valley You're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[amber snow]

Do I need to unlock the big al from the track to get the blueprint?

[left ravine]

The reconfig blueprint, yes

[stable summit]

Anyone here with some knowledge of the character creator that could help me make my female char not look goofy? (I want it to look good) would be very appreciated if someone would be up for it

[livid smelt]

Do the double upgrade material drops on the 27th include exotic components?

[split matrix]

is overlord a good shotgun? it seems good but maybe that is just me

[stable summit]

It just gives move speed no? Did i miss something today as I read over mine...

[left ravine]

Stash item/exotic component

[marsh forge]

hey for countdown what's the best way /optimize way to farm the currency ? and what's change in the difficulty like to we get more currency ?

[inner tendon]

Go for Challenging, and farm with a pre-made group if you can.
otherwise just matchmake.
but: always Challenging.

[amber snow]

so whats the actual drop loot for anniversery caches cuz it gave me the tendrils skin and tendrils wasnt on the official list

[left ravine]

Did you maybe visit Danny Weaver recently?

It's not uncommon to mix up caches

[amber snow]

No but thx for reminding me

[left ravine]

Then I don't have an explanation

[wooden shell]

where can i find the firing range please

[dapper root]

you need to unlock the NPC Charles Douglas from the Theater settlement

[wooden shell]

thanks!

[marsh forge]

hey i just bought the ultimate, what's do i get, i don't understand x) expect acces to new york and broklynn a direct acces to lvel 40 and 1000 credif the two other things : the season pass year 1 and the ultimate pack i dont't understand, could s1 help ?

[dapper root]

you get 3 new specializations, some weapons and cosmetic from Season 1 and you get access to Classified mission located in D.C

[marsh forge]

do i need to dl something, how to get i get those ?

[dapper root]

weapons and cosmetic will be sent to your stash Classified Mission you have to locate around the Map of DC

[marsh forge]

which specialization, the gunner technicien and firewall or other but then when do i get them when i go to NY or brooklyn ?

[dapper root]

gunner, technician and firewall yes

[dapper root]

they are avaliable once you reach level 30

[marsh forge]

i mean we already had them without the extention thought

[dapper root]

you no longer need to do quest to unlock them, ultimate pack auto unlocks them for you without needing to do the quest to unlock them tho you still need to level them up

[marsh forge]

i mean i already did the firewall and gunner just need to complet the level 4 and 5 for technicien, and it still not completed do i need to do something ? sy for all the question

[dapper root]

wdym do something?

dont worry bout the question this what this channel is here for

[marsh forge]

it is not yet unlock, the technicien, while i already receive the weapon and skill

[rose thicket]

how rare are overdogs compared to other exotics

[dapper root]

same odds try setting targeted loot to gloves and gl

[wooden shell]

Is there a way to roll back my progress
I mistakenly started battle of Brooklyn and now I am level 30

[dapper root]

other then deleting the character no its a one way trip

[wooden shell]

Oh no

[dapper root]

ah so those are just for the people that didnt buy the bundle and want a free way to get it the only benefit for you is the named weapon and skin

[marsh forge]

but i bought the bunbdle so it should finish no ?

[dapper root]

no

its just extra stuff

[marsh forge]

it does say instantly unlock of season 1 specialization thought so that why i don't understand ):

[dapper root]

so how it work is for a player that doesnt have the bundle they need to do all the quest to unlock technician with those quests. For someone like you that bought the bundle you skip the whole progression of the quest and get technician immediately

so those mission are useless for you unless you want the rewards from the quests

[marsh forge]

ok so i did understand correctly thought now i still can't activate the technician

[dapper root]

you have it active

[marsh forge]

nope

[dapper root]

ah then you need to do the last quest to unlock it

[marsh forge]

xddd the scam thought i would have still done it x)))

anyway should i buy the anniversy pass with the 1000 credit i got ?

[dapper root]

I would for the 50 extra space for your stash

but if you planning to get all the rewards from the reward track then no

season ends next week

[desert furnace]

Does anyone know if it's still possible to get the Sheriff shotgun? I didn't come back to the game until the anniversary event.

[lofty crater]

Hey where is the best/fastest way to level up the SHD rank?

[marsh forge]

where do i get that ? and i have almost finish the pass so i don't know

[dapper root]

yes Just got to do the legacy Manhunt mission on Master difficulty

[dapper root]

it auto gives it to you no notification if you got the premium track

[dapper root]

Heroic world difficulty with all directives on and go do control points

[dim pewter]

#ask-td2-community message Read this

[dapper root]

you can check by looking at your stash it should be either 450 or 500 depends

[marsh forge]

450 rn

[dapper root]

You good

[marsh forge]

but if i buy the bundle that is 2000 credit yeah i get 50 space thought it gives free level in the pass thought i am readly lvel 47 so kind of uselles no ?

[dim pewter]

Kind of? Unless you want the extra stash pace, alejandro skin

[dapper root]

Well yeah that's up to you if you want the 50 extra space

[marsh forge]

do we get 50 extra space the other season ?

[dapper root]

No this is the first time this had happened

Up to you not gonna tell you how to spend your premium credits

[marsh forge]

any way to get 450 credit without paying 😅

[marsh forge]

i was asking cause i saw that execpt skin there was nothing else

[dapper root]

Fair

[dapper root]

Base is 400 you get 50 from the Brooklyn dlc and now 50 for the 2000 premium pack

[marsh forge]

no i was asking how to get credit not space x) + it's 350 base space

[dapper root]

Right new York gives 50 now

[dim pewter]

I mean Brooklyn is in New York, so.. I guess?

[dapper root]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[warped quarry]

Hey all, trying to finalize my Refactor build. I have all the gear I need but I need to switch the core attribute on either my knees or gloves from Armor to Tech, but I can't recalibrate it. Any idea what's going on?

[slim elk]

does your gear have this icon?

@warped quarry

[left ravine]

Manhunt Climax Missions with Master Difficulty

Alani Kelso - Roosevelt Island

[warped quarry]

No, unless I'm looking in the wrong spot

[slim elk]

have you extracted Skill Tier to your Library for kneepads?

[warped quarry]

Yup

[slim elk]

i dont get it

[weak finch]

good taste agent, Refactor is the best

[warped quarry]

Might be a better screenshot. Reclibrate is grayed out in the bottom

[slim elk]

you dont have enough Printer Filament

[warped quarry]

Isn't that for optimization?

[left ravine]

Printer Filaments, before you ask

[slim elk]

right above that it says Cost to Recalibrate

[warped quarry]

🤦‍♂️ I totally missed that. Thanks.

Been pulling my hair out for 3 days trying to figure this out.

[slim elk]

😂 don't push it, keep it up

[warped quarry]

Thanks again!!!

[marsh forge]

how do i start a conflict game with my friends, it start without me and where should i find good build to play on ?

[desert furnace]

Just to be clear, Striker gets stacks per shotgun pellet hit, right?

[slim elk]

yes

[queen umbra]

Hello fellas, I am new to the game. I would like ask some question.

I bought the game from steam, but it was required to make ubisoft account to be able to play. Then i was 12 hours game time only, when suddenly i got kicked out of the game while playing. I checked and i apparently got logged out from the ubisoft account, but i couldn't login anymore. It says "You're blocked from logging in from repeated failed login attempts", it's weird because i only logged it one time and checked the remember login data. Tried to change my password of the ubisoft account thought it might work but still doesnt, says my account got suspended because of said above.

Does anyone experiencing the same problem? is this temporary problem with the ubisoft connect or should i contact ubisoft support for account appeal?

[dawn hornet]

Are Priority Objectives the quickest way to level the Event Pass?

[cold swan]

So im getting a error bravo-09 searched for a fix all the vid were from 7 years ago 💀 tried everything any idea

[dim pewter]

yes

[dawn hornet]

Thanks!

[dawn hornet]

If you haven't already I would absolutely open up a support ticket regarding your account. If you manage to get a live chat you could probably get help in seconds.

[silent monolith]

best way to get the chameleon AR? is it hyena retals?

[slim elk]

bounties

[silent monolith]

any specific or just bounties overall?

[slim elk]

any, doesnt matter which

[queen umbra]

thank you, i will do that. i guess my problem is not general

[silent monolith]

perfect thanks Doomz

[tall scroll]

does anyone have a counter for leggy drone operators as they always play way back from LOS and have really fast drones

[gaunt idol]

Stupid question but is it possible to get the houndsman outfit anymore like by buying it or doing the houndsman bounty or is it just gone and I missed out?

[twilit dragon]

I see lots of back and forth on pestilence being great/mid with OD, but im not able to get a definitive answer as to whats more true, and why

[coral crest]

Pesti stacks doesn't count as status effects, and inturn won't activate hollow points

[tall scroll]

it quite decent along with bluescreen

[sharp osprey]

OD is more of a killing enemy with a status effect applied and you get hollow point bullets, pestilence is not a status effect it’s a debuff . Carnage. Or blue screen work good

[tall scroll]

now I still need find a way to kill drone operators in legendary

[twilit dragon]

I get that its not a status, but whats stopping you from using something to apply a status, and using hollow point to keep the ball rolling? Does the poison not benefit from the damage amp from OD?

Does the poison not proc hollow point on kill?

[sharp osprey]

No, the pestilence does not hollow points on kill, now if the pestilence has hollow point bullets, that’s another story

[modest elk]

Is anyone able to play on Xbox? Anyone still getting the Bravo-09?

[twilit dragon]

I mean like
Disorient an enemy or something, kill them, now you have hollow point
Some external method to get it rolling

I understand pestilence by itself cant apply status

[pseudo tundra]

Skills or grenades are usually enpugh

And then loading your secondary also as backup to get it going again

[twilit dragon]

But its more does the poison (since its weapon damage and not a status) benefit from the damage amp of a status afflicted enemy? Will an enemy that is bleeding from hollow point proc hollow point if it dies from the poison?

[tardy bramble]

is there anyway to unlock this?

[twilit dragon]

Thats a lvl 40 thing

[tardy bramble]

im level 40

[pseudo tundra]

Not at the moment

[sharp osprey]

An enemy won’t proc hollow points, unless your pestilence already has hollow points ,that creates the bleed which inturn gets more hollow points.

[pseudo tundra]

Season stuff goes tgere

We are in the middle of a fake season/anni event

[twilit dragon]

When they die to the poison?

And not the gun itself

[tardy bramble]

You talking to me?

[sharp osprey]

They’re not dying to the poison per se, it’s killing a status affected enemy

[twilit dragon]

Yeah thats what I was saying
An enemy dying to the poison whilst they have a status, like the bleed from hollow point

[pseudo tundra]

y

[coral crest]

Yes, I imagine this is true. The thing is, if you don't build into wpn dmg your poison won't do that much dmg

[pseudo tundra]

if they have the red tag from OD not matter what kills them will give you ammo

[sharp osprey]

Sticky bomb equals hollow points

[twilit dragon]

Ive not actually looked at what blue screen does tbh and I probably should
Cuz im likely to just throw on memento and a few armor cores anyway cuz im typically solo outside of legendaries and countdowns etc
Meaning that pest will prolly fall behind anyway

[pseudo tundra]

if oyu hit an enemy and they get the tag and the poison and dies, you get ammo, if the poison jumps to an enemy you didnt shoot no tag no ammo

[tardy bramble]

Whats the best way to farm levels for my SHD watch?

[hot sundial]

i just got a gun called merciless out of a exotic cache. is that good?

[slim elk]

nah

[zealous night]

when lexington becomes available, through season strech goal caches, is there anything i need to do to prepare myself to obtain those caches? i read that you had to be season level capped, but i thought 50 was the cap, however, ive been going over 50?

[dim pewter]

This isn't a traditional pass

[cedar schooner]

Won't happen this season, since its a special season.

Next season you'll be able to hit 100, and they'll likely do stretch goals

[zealous night]

so no lexington til end of next season?

[cedar schooner]

Probably not. They could do something spontaneous.

Don't sweat it though. Its a good AR, but its just a Police M4 with a little extra base damage

[slim elk]

Lexi is just 4% better than Police M4

[mossy horizon]

I want to do the Manhunt mission that gives you Tinker Mask, but currently my only complete build is a red striker build, is that good for Master difficulty or should I go for a different build for Master tier difficulty?

[cedar schooner]

Thats what I run, just try to find a good group

[past vault]

High difficulty content such as master or legendary difficulty mostly boil down to knowing where to position yourself and know which target to prioritize

[cold frost]

Hey gang is there any good use for unlocks with premium credits? I see that premium battle pass thing is available for a few more days so assuming I wouldn't get anything out of that. I'm level 18 or so

[mossy horizon]

thank you both

[hollow spoke]

What do yall personally do to farm control points? I look at YouTubers all the time but what do yall do personally sniper build? One shot pistol? Strikers?

[subtle grove]

Anything you feel comfortable with

[subtle grove]

But for me personally? My only build I have, Striker ODs

[hollow spoke]

OD’s?

[vapid nest]

Overdogs, presumably, is what they meant.

[hollow spoke]

Ahh

[subtle grove]

Over dogs, meta currently, due to it being able to amplify your dmg 30% i think

[hollow spoke]

I’ve been running this build just changed the drone to reviver hive

[vapid nest]

You just need to prioritize targets to take full advantage of the gloves, do that and your damage will blow up fast.

[subtle grove]

Memento is good for survivablity

[leaden sparrow]

Does anyone know how to get the “The Quickstep” gun?

[subtle grove]

Houndsman bounty, halloween, ask in pc lfg if you want a bounty

[vapid nest]

You need to join someone that has the Houndsman Bounty.

Limited event bounty from a while back.

[subtle grove]

Ngl, I shoot a tier 3 enemy sometimes, and then it amplifies against other t3s. Is that how its supposed to work or am i going insane?
