Does a Manhunt/Retal exclusive exotic go into regular lootpool if you crafted or looted it once?
what exotic is in retal that's exclusive?
Don't think any
But you can get manhunt exotics in retal as blueprints, that's what I meant sry
Too bad it doesnt go into lootpool
the only lootpool the manhuts goes into is stretch goals. diluting the exotic loot pool even further for those that don't want to raid or do incursion 😹
I'm just salty because I farmed up 50 diamond retal things to craft Tinkerer, and now I apparently donated it to expertise without realizing right after crafting it 🤦♂️
The BTSU-team 9 blueprints are locked to only this Season, is probably what they're thinking of.
Unless that's been changed since I read it.
no clue if they changed it, but wasn't sure if any exotic was exclusive to retaliations. blueprints i can see being only for this season though 🤔
Does prototyping a weapon lead to all weapons of the same kind lose their mods and skins for anyone else?
Have to re-attach everything again
you know i never looked at it after i prototyped it. i should check the next time i play 😹
Hello!
is it still possible to get the tinkerer? the potomac event center cant be played on higher diff anymore
you gotta run the manhunt on normal to heroic once to run it on master i believe. plus the mask BP is in BT retaliations
Sure you can. But it's required to do what Toothless told you
so if i beat the mission on heroic, i can play it on master?
yes
Can even be normal
no escalations is for the base mission (different faction) though would you want to run it on escalation? 🤔
if i leave to NY will classified assignments / side missions be completed?
via boosting? just the main missions i think and side mission. you'll still have to run the classified missions i think
not boosting i just finished cooney island and all the rest in DC which are the main missions but i left classified / side missions etc
then you should be good, if you boosted it'd take you to NY with some funky build with DC stuff done minus the classifieds and hunters
yeah got u thanks time for NY then :d
Enjoy your NY tour
ty i saw the pinned and after NY i need to go back to DC finish manhunt missions then go brooklyn?
believe there's a pin here for general order of things concerning DC/NY/Brooklyn
yeah that one seems in order thanks
I think it's applicable for the normal killsquads as well
Speaking of which, why r the Team 9 killsquads easier than the normal BTSU killsquads?
Ok just got another Tinkerer from master manager, after accidentally donating my first one I crafted 🥴 Master isn't as hard as I thought, good to know for future manhunts
I mean based on the comm, I would say : Coordinated team < Uncoordinated team
i just completed the potomac event center on heroic and i still cant play it on masters
@cold root You need to do the Manhunt version on a difficulty, not the base/invaded. Double-check.
if you did and it's not working, try re-logging.
id say master manhunts are endurance and patience tests, not really hard but mega time loss if not hitting the boss checkpoint
why does the rat queen just sit on the bridge where her laptop is this mission is ridiculous
I did the mission... yesterday I think? I didnt really see her movement but I do know for 4 of us being there at the end, there was an absolute assload of enemies just pouring out of all the doors even after we killed her lol. Like legit 5 minutes straight of spawns running around that stupid roof top
just got oubo and sherriff bp,s but only have mats for 1 at mo which is better
do you want a short range burst monster smg? or a (one of a kind) long range shotgun?
at mo im runnin 4pce HB with chameleon as main and lefty bach up
then Ouroboros for sure, you need to build stacks
ty
Always the brand
keep it at lengmo. Also it will be a NIGHTMARE if you're farming it. Don't have materials to craft a few... hundred?
never target type for HE pieces, always the brand
i crafted like 250 pieces to finally get that lengmo mask with CHC/CHD
been trying to do ts solo for an hour least amount of fun ive had in this game ive had no problem shredding any other mission but her immunity + her camping the laptop to shut it off is making it literally impossible i get through 2 phases and die
Is it better to just craft them?
its all up to RNG. if you don't have a ton of resources to try crafting it, farming is your only option. Down to your actual luck
of course i come in here to cry about it and then beat it next try 💔 it be like that sometimes
Thata sick dude lol
hey, is bittersweet in the drop pool now? :D
Yea it was like me with the Patriot hunter. Kickin my ass, kickin my ass, even on one run with Scorpio he was literally a limp melee from dying and his drone killed me. Running that damn mission over and over on progressively easier difficulties. But we got it no problem lol
That it is
YIPEEEEEE
Is it better to farm escalation 6 or as high as possible?
it has better chances for loot, but... you need a good coordinated team to farm it efficiently
I beat 8 today on matchmaking, someone decided to wait til last room to be healer tho
How does one acquire dark winter
Named caches or dark zone
Can be dead but ur just better off farming named caches
Best way to do that other than countdown? Or is it only countdown
Countdown or wait for a event with event shop
found a bit of a misplaced solar generator in battle for brooklyn
Did they do FI or Refactor?
for tier 8 i hope FI for the damage buffs
do you need to host the retaliation to have a chance at getting the raid exotics?
how ?
anyone know how to fix weapon swap glitch? whenever i press y it goes to my sidearm sometimes. cant switch back to primary sometimes cause im busy fighting it? it started after patch? I play on pc through ubisoft with a razer Wolverine controller.
Yeah, it deosn't have the skin slot.
Can you use specialization skills on other specializations? if it makes sense anyways (ex. banshee pulse while on technican)
...
Is there a way to know if an echo on your map has already been collected?
At what point do u unlock retaliations?
atleast SHD 1 iirc
Idk what that means lol
Does all gear and weapons attributes move up on their own as you use them?
you get a so-called SHD Watch after finishing the Warlords of New York campaign, if you have that and are LVL40 you start getting SHD levels instead of character levels (I assume being lvl40 and having WONY completed unlocks retaliations)
No longer require WONY to reach Level 40
I guess then it's just level 40 for retals 
Ooo ok thank you I just got to 40 so I’ll check now
SHD is like prestige after reaching max level (40)
there's a tab on the top of the map for retals
What's the best way to farm for overdogs gloves?
hyena retaliation would be your best bet
is there some build like basically you shoot 1 guys and it hit other people or apply some poison that spread and deal lot fo dmg ?
ricochet / spreading effect that kill mob over time in range
we need an #apparel / #store channel for the weekly store resets please.
Pestilence LMG kinda has that effect, could try and look up builds for it (idk how good it is currently)
"shoot 1 guy and it hits other people" -> negotiator's dilemma
"apply poison that spreads" -> there isn't really a method to apply poison specifically, but eclipse protocol is pretty close to your description
pestilence too
@fickle ravine you use pulse or decoy with iron lung?
Or you can just log in and check yourself. Who would take screenshots every week reliably?
the weapon doesn't really matter, i usually just use emp sticky and decoy
emp is not as effective for staggering enemies compared to banshee but often im just too lazy to switch off of it
whats the best place for escalation
No revivor even when solo?
It's a weekly selection, you can't pick locations freely
cus some have jobs and would want to see them on their phone? cus theyre so excited to see and they cant log in early in the morning because they have to prepare for work and come home in the afternoon????
only time i run revive hive solo is in escalation and retaliation
Then simply wait until you're home. You have a week time to check it out
this week uh Grand Washington hotel is a fast one
otherwise i live life on the edge 
and would want to see the previous ones that I missed
Not Conley
Who would take the screenshot every week reliably?
is it possible to make pesti dot spread with eclipse protocol ? like a build using pesti and eclipse so you shoot a guy , when it die it spread to multiple enemy
pesti effect is NOT a status effect and is unaffected by eclipse protocol
oh rip
the game could have done a better job at conveying this 
You can make a so-called "triple dot build" but it's not effective.
do you guys know how do I get the blueprint for overdog reconfig
Apparently there are still issues between the Overdogs and Blacklisters. AFAIK you just need the Blacklisters in your inventory and you can reconfig them
The weird thing is I have two overdogs in my inventory but whenever I go to the crafting station I just cant reconfig them because I guess the game tells me I dont have that blueprint yet. But I do have the crafting blueprint one tho
crafting bp and reconfig bp are separate
Have you talked to the npc next to the crafting station?
yeah its simply not there? When I navigate to it it just say the blueprint drop from hyenas retaliation
She gave him the Blacklisters reconfig blueprint most likely
Odd I'm out of ideas
Try having the Blacklisters kneepads in your inventory when you want to re-roll your Overdogs
will prob trynna get that exotic first dont think I have it yet
BTSU 9 kill squads can drop the crafting blueprint now I think
Or do Tidal Basin climax mission on master difficulty
hey folks, new to endgame player here. still low shd tech level but i've assembled a very starter striker build to tackle bfb but the expansion is kinda kicking my ass. the enemies spawning behind you and overall tankiness of the bosses is significantly more brutal than wony. is it recommended to dip into bfb when i've assembled a more able build/leveled up my shd tech level more?
No, but proficiency does.
ill have a look in a sec, thx
whats everyone's opinion on how tipping scales stacks up aginst stiker sets?
Prototype is so bugged atm. Did few gear pieces and it showed 20,5 dmg and 13,5 chd (striker mask) other was 18 and 16chd (gloves) then i log out and in and dmg is back ton15 on both and the chd is now maxed....
Imo it can compete with striker with the right builds
TS is slightly behind Striker, but the main problem with TS imo is that it's too annoying to stack and you lose stacks very quickly
The first time your prototype it's wrong you have to relog to get the correct stats
So its always the second stat that then is max same for lexinton even named items (salvo/contractors) maxes the special attribute rest is normal
Well anyway atm i call bs on how it does what it does so i will be just hoarding the cores from now on until something changes/gets fixed
No, it's random, and there's a small chance that more than one stat will be increased
yall reckon i can max 18 skills in this prof event to have them all proficent
No... when you first prototype a gear/gun the stats are wrong because of a visual bug you have to relog to get the real stats. When prototyping one attributes will always max roll but the other attributes have a chance to get a better stats
Yeah this is very strange
but I couldnt progress further because it will simply say crafting condition not met
I get that but all my pieces as of other i know all maxed out 2nd stat others were normal so that to much to call rng imo but like i said ima just go hoarding em now untill something changes
Yeah idk, there were issues with Overdogs last season already. Perhaps report this on the Bug Reporter platform or upvote an existing post
Is anyone having a problem where when you tap weapon switch it goes to sidearm or just gets stuck?
I sometimes cant even get to the sidearm with two taps. Tried low latency mode and v sync and repaired files.
I use controller on pc
Really frustrating haha
You need to have Blacklisters in your stash/inventory.
anyone have the graphic for modifier combos hanging around?
Any tips for the 4 hunters in East Mall?
play on low difficulty, and run a dps build with some cc and pay a lot of attention to where they are and move when you need to
Protection from elite build does wonder if you just want to tank them out
Does anyone have any good farming material methods?
Im currently running a Strikers with pestilence and Overdogs, all red cores(?) if thats the right term. Started playing this game a week or so ago and dont have all my terms down yet 😂
Can armor roll with pfe or is that mod-only?
mod only
Mod only
If you are really desperate you can call for backup and ask someone to help you out
Tried that but nobody answered lol, but ill look into a pfe build and go from there. Thanks yall!
Also Scorpio and iron long exotic weapons will be handy
Riot foam is also a choice
@pseudo tundra ^
Ty much love
The chatterbox talent it’s the closer you get the higher the fire rate?
No it’s the more you reload the higher the fire rate right?
"When you reload, rate of fire is increased by 25% for each enemy within 15m for the duration of that entire magazine.", Max Stacks 5, kills refill 50% of the mag
Does the Optimize/Overload modifier only level up if youre using it in combat?
No it also levels up just having it equipped and playing content with it
Think hunters fury or striker is better for it
Hey can someone help me get The Ravenous blueprint from retaliation? Im on ps5
looking for testers for my gear maker/dps calculator if interested DM me and i will give you a 1.7.4 alpha build it is free and OS with a github if you wish build it yourself it will never cost a dime.
anyone wanna boost me to lvl 40, im lvl 24 rn?
also any feedback/help will land you in credits with links to SM should you help
oooo this looks good
thank you DM me if you intrested
What is the maximum amount of HazPro I can get from the modifiers ?
How do I get gear mods that are maxed? Mainly looking for maxed out CHC and CHD gear mods?
I think legendary summit is a good place
I’ve been grinding for HOURS and still can’t get them mainly countdown and retals
Legendary summit
If you value your sanity, do not chase them. It's nearly impossible. Play heroic and legendary content and they drop over time
It's more of a weeks/months thing, just do it from time to time and take the best ones you get, hitting the absolute maximum isn't that often unfortunately
That's a good answer
So...does anyone know ?
No, sry. I just go with WH or HSD
I heard it's possible to reach 55%
Just heard tho...
I'm aware of that one yeah
You could try Convert 2 Defense, Compress Defense and Nullify
Still 45%
Yeah but you also get Weapon Handling and Skill Damage that way.
135% HSD, 45% Mag Size, 22.5% PFE, 45% HazPro, 45% Skill Repair, 45% Status Effect are the max when it comes to Convert 1/2 things
Just that 5% is kinda annoying but whatever
I'm a DPS player so I just went with the 135% HSD
Just playing with the backfire striker these days
Tons of armor and tons of damage
so with this new update i need to level my table to 30 then start the proto gear farm?
Nope, Proto Gear drops when you're at any Expertise level.
but if you want to upgrade your gear to Proto, yes you need to be at Expertise 30.
for printer filament does gear mods and skill mods drop the same amount of filament?
yes
How do we earn BTSU firmwares?
is the higher tier the better chances for prototype gear?
Journey and Manhunt Scouts.
Anywhere else?
Don't think so. But finishing all of Journey and Scout should give you enough to get every modifier iirc.
Thanks!
Find someone with a Houndsman bounty they can share with you. Ask here in your platform's LFG channel, join the GCROCK discord or the Division 2 Community discord to LFG there.
I have 2 True Sons retaliations, like the overclock has 2 red rings, and like 1/3rd of a white one. I don't have the option to initiate a retaliation though. Can you not just do the two that are ready? do all three rings have to be filled?
nevermind, yea, I think a bug. I found and killed one true son, didn't move the white ring, but I got the "moving into.." message and it's availible now.
can you get regulus from retaliations?
@haughty pike No, as its a crafting exotic.
Is turmoil not obtainable?
no, only in stretch goals
is weapon handling better than headshot damage?
"weapon handling" is actually 4 separate stats in 1. Reload/swap-speed/accuracy (reticule bloom)/ and stability (vertical kick).
damage is king as usual, but weapon handling does help you actually land headshots
ohhh thanks! I should have gone weapon handling than headshot damage
don't worry, you'll max out both eventually.
(i assume the SHD watch)
usually it's hsd then weapon handling as the 2nd attribute for the 2 attribute gear
yes and also the recombinant thing
so I am ONLY level 9 expertise and this is a levevl 30 expertise weapon. is this a bug or am i just lucky in getting it?
prototypes always drop at 30 expertise
gotcha, thank you
how do i get the big al if i missed the anni event
@real cypress General loot pool.
can i get the lexington and ACS variant when opening rise up cache?
thanks then ill use all my tokens buying the exotic cache
Heyo, ive got a couple exotics with bad rolls, whats the best thing to do with them? Expertise lvls?
- Do you already have a copy of each? If no, keep. Else, deconstruct.
- Don't donate to Expertise, deconstruct.
@kindred mason had to rephrase that, sorry lol
Thx for the help!
oh nice thanks
anyone else having trouble with weekly project, doing true sons bounty and they don't count towards the goal of 5 bounties (sometimes)?
Forfeit or complete your retaliations
all/any retaliations? i dont have any true sons retal active
Yeah
thx that worked. had to cancel it again while in the bounty because the retal spawned again during it
Guys, is the best place to get Emperor's Guard kneepads in the DZ, right now?
yo is the lexington still farmable?
Named item caches, DZ if you really want to but it doesn't drop often. Best is to get the blueprint from Retaliations (Reconstructed Caches)
can someone explain me how core strenght set works, is it like for every core that i dont own i gain 40% of it so if i have all red core i will get 40% yellow and blue from it?
Yes and and with its chest piece 75%
ammo/striker stack bug... had to swap gear pc back and forth to fix it... i died tho and rez... went back to normal
How do i fill my retaliation meter the fastest?
ive seen striker stacks disappear. then swap back and forth pc to fix. not the ammo visual bug tho
Escalations change tomorrow or Thursday?
fastest is the daily agitation project, but you can't choose the faction and it's once a day
tues
Increase expertise level list me fastest methods so I can rinse and repeat it xp expertise takes effect tomorrow ?
countdown
Keep Donating junk only should do it ?
dono as you rank them up when using overtime
Use non proficiency gear and weapons and donate junk?
yes
wait, you were in the red zone of one of the enemies, procs a seasonal debuff, does that have anything to do with it?
it randomly happened in the beginning of mission. am not sure what caused it
this was mission before. happened to me 🤣
is core strenght good to pair with investor?
Question: is it better to finish the legacy manhunts before starting battle for brooklyn dlc?
if you care about lore, yes
what skills give me more rounds for my mag
none unfortunately
will any thing give ammo 4 my mag
brandsets and certain gearsets, you gotta know what to use and basic build knowledge
tyty doomz
for example:
this build I use for solo content has 3pc UA for the mag size bonus
it makes strega have a 60 round mag which is pretty nice
its fun and doesnt require much stacking
@slim elk i can sol ecvery thinh with tank build but its slow i need a heart braker build
I hate tank builds in general bc it makes thing slower and tedious unless I run ONE build which is a Support Tank rather than a selfish Tank 
45mins to take a cp in to slow
Anyone completed the weekly project??? I've completed 6 true sons bounties but it doesn't show as complete.
What would be the optimal way to farm expertise? Countdown with doing gear sets in order or something? Library is complete, but expertise level just won't rise.
Craft everything you can and donate as junk
Same with buying items from vendors
Is the best way to level prof countdown/ retal?
CD
Finish/fail/cancel any active/full Retaliations, then try again.
Wait what, craft and donate as junk? Isn't Countdown essentially the same thing.
Not really
It's way faster to craft
For stuff that doesn't have a blueprint yeah ofc you need countdown
Hmm.
why do people wants to do floor 99 on heroic is it wroth it and why?
That's weird, usually it's floor 10 or 100 on legendary
What does expertise surge do exactly?
If its the the same as the last one 3x expertise gains on all things with proficiency levels
Hello new here
So everytime I donate something, the exp is tripled?
Correct

I have a question what’s the fastest way to get the quickstep pistol
Look for someone who still has houndsman bounty in your respective LFG channel.
Doesnt matter which one.
Thank you been trying to get it
i mean 100 srry
iirc it's for the tempest exotic that drops on floor 100, higher chances on higher diffs
Do retaliations spawn more enemies aka more targeted loot when in a group or is there no "bonus" in not doing it solo if I'm not struggling? Aside if you just enjoy group play obviously
I dare say ditch strega and use Bighorn
I was like who tf is this guy but its you lmao
ah
What would be the correct order to play things lore-wise? Base, WONY, Legacy Manhunts, Brooklyn?
ah yes keeper of keeps
iirc it's base, wony, manhunts up to burden of truth, brooklyn, manhunts up to current one
Thank you!
Hi guys l came back to the game a few days ago , lm shd level 498 , l did get the new st assualt exotic and overdog , kinda want to knew the meta or what are the top 5 gear sets to chase. Also what new mechanics did l miss since season 5 , l have a skill build for dps with waveforms and capacitor , l kinda go all over the place , right now running striker but my last build when l logged was memnto kingbreaker heartbreaker 6 blue core build .
My stash always shows 450 now instead of 500 even after logging in and out
Stash bug is back again. You'll need to fast travel off-site and check the stash. Log out and log in also fixes it sometimes too
Is striker half blue core not worth it any more ?, hybrid?
each blue core you add will hurt your damage more
the survivability you get from each blue core isn't all that much
is providence builds glass cannon not good anymore?
that named providence piece is still used, but there is a better option for dps builds that doesn't need you to deal with the 60% increased damage taken
Is eagle bearer good ? Or hollow man ? , also skill builds .
you know what, basically a lot has changed since then. i suggest to not rely too much on what was considered good back then and just check the spreadsheet for recommended builds
✅
Got lucky when came back to the game in that I only had to farm the Striker pieces and most other build stuff could be upgraded with relative ease.
Hello peeps, I was wondering as a new player what’s a faster way to level SHD levels ? I’m at 473 atm
it's in the pins but here #ask-td2-community message
Ty
do escalation on 10 with all directives
Inaya now sells overdogs reconfig bp
Where can i contact support, need a solution for my drops back days, havent got it yet
Should be on the ubisoft app/websiten then go to support and pick div2
I did 2 hyena bounties and ZERO of them counted towards the scout task, any idea why?
There's a couple of links near the top of the #rules channel
Active retaliations can block them from tracking
Thanks
Is there a new way to add weapon skins? I unlocked it can't equipped it.
think it's just another bug
Is the expertise boost up?
You mean the proficiency event? Or when they reduced the amount of materials you need for expertise upgrade
the event yeah
Ye
Where you donate stuff and gets double or triple exp?
yes
Yep proficiency event
Alright here goes.
i need crossplay now 😓
That was a let down
we are not getting one ?
Is there a lore reason I’m killing these hunters? Since I technically didn’t go rouge or anything
they're bad because they hunt people
We getting one is like the bugs to be fixed lol
fr what a let down convinced my brother to buy it on console and we cant play
does playstation accepts refunds ?
30 days
I thought the good part though was the "eliminate agents if they become a problem" part of hunters though? or did they start just doing it willy nilly
the problem is that problem agents is decided by the guy who's literally working with the russian lady trying to take over dc
oh-
I knew it wasn't going to happen because they weren't going to do cross save
I'm assuming Ellis being bad also has something to do with it?
I just beat the Tidal Basin part of the story if that helps
(I also just got touched by the downtown east Hunter because I didn't know my rigger build could be hacked)
Okay I got a question....I just unlocked the Skin for the Agitator at rank 100...but there is no skin slot...like is that a oversight or does it just plop it automaticly onto the weapon when you unlock it?
It's bugged
Classic xD
I put in a ticket with UBI
It's funny how they put a exotic skin at rank 100 and you can't use it...what a bait xD
It's funny how you need Xbox pass and Playstation plus to play with people in order to get the last three raids done for the rise up journey
Ah yeah....I just decided not to do it...since there is nothing exclusive for doing journey 8 anyway...I only did up to journey 7 for the blueprints
But it's funny that the developers didn't think of this for people who don't have or won't pay the $200 plus dollars for both systems to play with people and people rather just play solo instead of in a group
I would pay pay the money if they had cross safe
i mean most games assume you can play multiplayer
But with Xbox and Playstation it's not worth the money to play with friends like to pay to play with friends like come on. But on warzone you can play with friends for free. There's a couple other games that you can do that
The Investor mask is only obtainable through the pass for this season right?
Are there still holstered weapon talents?
Anyone knows how I can get the blueprints for crafting golden components, for example hyena components etc. It said by clearing outposts. I have cleared over a hundred but I still only receive Grey blueprints.
Nope, Exotics are never just locked to a Season Pass.
So after unlocking it I am able to target loot another? I never got the blueprint after unlocking it and I just deconed mine 
why am i not able to get rid of the breakable stack if i use an armor kit? was stuck with 4 for an entire mission
Division 2 things
so i need to wait for ros island to become invaded for the bolt and there's no way to make it invaded
You'd need to get downed once for it to work
Yes, for now it is. Will be added to the general pool next season.
Pain. Thanks for letting me know 
It might drop during the Spring Event or through Stretch Goals at the end of the season, tho.
But usually, seasonal exotics are locked to the pass during the season and only get added to the general pool in the following season.
That's what I thought, I'll have to keep an eye out for the both of those.
Any known fix regarding the scout bug? I dont have any hyena retaliation active.
It's not just having Hyena specifically, it's having any active that was causing it for me before.
cancel/finish/fail all retals that are at max/red, and then try again.
so it's niot just me that cant progress this weeks scout
yep, fixed it! Thanks! I abandoned all my retaliations.
Such a waste though, it was black tusk.
It's literally one message above...
same for me but with outcast's
Eliminate Hyena Snipers
Jefferson Trade Center
Grand Washington Hotel
Hyena Bounties
i mean the hotel might be a better option here since they may have more snipers here
GWH is the best choice, two snipers in the second room.
there is also just after entering DUA
Hello, in this proficient event, if I equip 6 pieces of the same set this speed up the process?
that told me how to do all scout 2
Ain't it Judiciary and not Downtown East?
Holstered weapons still gain pxp right?
Yes
I ran a Hyena Retal for the 2nd Scout step, it worked and worked especially well for the Snipers.
well i was able to do it
What is the best way to get advantage of proficiency boost?
Same as before: run a Countdown and donate everything.
You'll get it done much faster with this Event active.
You can also donate resources.
Can investor mask have multiple of the same attributes eg 3 crit chance ?
nope
scrap max rank items and donate the rest and resources
cd is good but imo retal is better
Retal is good to get gear you use, countdown for expertise. imo
forgot where to get lexington lmao
Not obtainable rn
thx
also don't forget abt btsu blueprint drops too
what's a good replacement
Police M4 is identical with a different model and very slightly lower base damage
k
also just found i have one lmao i think i got it from the lvl 40 boost thing
idk if the one it gave me is max lvl probably is though
With this prof event is there any materials that would be on par with printer in its base donation xp form
I need 4 levels lol I feel like just slamming every material I have while wearing certain items for passive xp
@vale token Buy skill mods, have auto-deconstruct on.
your credits are easily replacable.
guys is there any way to reset secret misions to farm exp right now ?
Okay
They are no longer limited, you can just run them over and over again
Ohhh thx alot
Wait, so instead of fixing the cheese they made it even easier? 💀
NBA farming has essentially been legalized
They nerfed xp by like 10-20 percent but otherwise yes
You can run it over and over as you please without ge cheese
That's insane… I thought it was completely fixed, smh.
skills give 6 filamant and you need 1000. buying is too costly imho
and operationally long
you can use the shd levels to get filament or other materials though
It's more cost effective to spend shd on credits then buy/crunch mods
how much credit per shd level?
Downtown east 0/25 activities hyenas it’s bugged?
Cancel active retals.
34.5k
that buys you 7 mods. 7 mods give 42 filament
the issue is that does not move a needle for proficency and doing it is boring
So its better to just buy PF anyway
Its best to just target mods in countdown, use levels for PF, breakdown the mods, sell the gear. Buy named item caches and just repeat til event is over lol
and depending how much you play you should net a good chunk of levels
1k PF per item, its i think 9 items per level (for me anyways)
yeah it was 3k now 1k. and post 20, 9 items per level
i am at lvl 20 but can't countdowns anymore
If I just grind and I dont include wearing items to get passive XP. I will need 306 countdown runs to go from 26-30 lol because i need 36,720 PF in total
120 PF per run on average is what I am mathing lol
wearing is extremely slow imho but maybe faster. with promo. i am full on all gearsets etc.. only obscure exotics and named items and some skills
I will just put a weapon on and a skill on
and then with 306 countdowns thats 306 levels so 306x45 PF or whatever lol so I guess I can do it in like 150 CD runs lol
either way it sucks, but I am going to cram all I can
37.5 hours worth of countdown if they average 15m each lol
thats the grind
allll of that just to go from 26-30 lol how crazy
been there done that pure hell
No pain, no gain 
i just can't do countdowns after griding them for exotics 2 weeks ago. may take another 6 months to reach 30 but that is fine. stocking cores meanwhile is fine
I switched from Heartbreaker to Strikers. I don't know why i even went with Heartbreaker back then. Maybe i didn't want to go meta, idk.
Survivalbility is better with HB.
HB has both damage and armor its a good side option for survivability while also wanting damage
It's very good for solo play.
it is indeed
In a group i just use Strikers.
Striker is still king sadly
There are good options to Striker's in terms of DPS
The spreadsheet says about the standard red build "...they mean this build" ? Why this and not Strikers btw ?
What build helps the most for Paradise-Lost with Randoms ? I don't have the Ouroboros yet.
Striker with chest and backpack, backfire
Equalizer chest and Memento Backpack ?
striker chest and striker backpack
Ok. 2 pieces Strikers. And the rest ?
2 more pieces of striker and not sure about the last two
Probably overdogs and a UA or ceska piece, I'm not sure what the absolute meta is this season
Spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice probably has a section on incursion builds, I know bloody knuckles was a top choice but likely displaced by overdogs in some of the fights
So at Ex lvl 30 when you convert existing gear into prototype, does it still randomize the stats or does it keep what that piece has and just enhances it?
it does not randomize. in most cases enhances one and keeps others same and adds an augment
in rare cases enhances more than one
it keeps it and one stat will always max roll (1.5x) while the other stats have a chance to be higher
It might look like it randomised the stats when you first upgrade though due to a visual bug, have to log off and on again to see the real stats
Ah ok cool, thanks for the answers. ❤️
I'm not at 30 yet so wasn't sure. Sitting at 25 right now, plan on maxing this event.
Legendary is really hard lol
Why is this a thing? WHY?!
More than 7 minutes of searching how to reach them with no result.
Would be hard to restrict them to spawn only on ground level?
lol is that the kill squad?
I've had that happen too in the same place lmao
i guess that is how you evade them
Why is the manhunt stuff so vague
which is worth crafting first ouroboros eagle bearer or big horn?
one way of preventing this is using the fact that they spawn where you look, so if you don't look underground at these potential spawns, they won't spawn there
but otherwise, unless devs fix this, there's nothing
Are you serious?
yeah you haven't noticed?
...That actually makes so much sense
I did not
time to learn how to moonwalk
I've seen like 2 people do this and am perplexed every time
me and my mom?

I usually aim a bit lower so I can see better what's ahead of me. But they only spawn underground in certain areas for me, such as in Downtown East where that dude took his screenshot from (on my way from MLK Mem Library towards Red Dragon)
Basically every.single.time.
Halo player spotted
I altered my route through downtown east to avoid one of the spots where they usually spawn underground, that seems to have worked so far
They usually spawn right away if you exit MLK, I tried that. You going back westwards?
never happens to me because i have that setting where you always look centre
Do anyone knows the chances of a second stat to upgrade to max in proto?
1 percent
i saw it in reddit so not sure if true
Third is 0.5% or so then?
5 percent
third is 1 percent
Gotcha
ah makes sense
I'll never hit that jackpack again, ever
garibaldi backpack is on sale at clan vendor
OH right, almost forgot. Thx
Yaahl mats time
🤑
I normally get the issue if I head due east from demolition site a few blocks before going north to MLK, so instead I've been going immediately north from demo site first, then east
you can't craft this one i think so also good. i get one of these in dark zone with terrible stats
I'll keep that in mind
normal route for me being fallen cranes - demo site - mlk - red dragon
The talent sucks bad tho
It's all blue, too
damn do this info was in patch notes?
yeah but at least 170k armor
the one i got was like 85k
Yeah the drop quality in the DZ is god awful. Also then drop frequency
Are the abandon retaliations option is new?, last time i didn’t see any option
nope
Unfortunately this is false.
They spawn in the vicinity of your character using all available spawn point randomly which is an obviously dumb way.
is it recommended to change difficulty when reaching 40 even if doing main quests?
move to challenging
uh I would recommended trying hard but try not to go over to challenging as its a big jump
thanks what about directives?
I wouldn't worry about them till you feel comfortable with the difficulty
but a good one would be fog of war
they work the same way as the ambushing NPCs, and those spawn where you look too
thanks im gonna try hard/fog of war since i dont have a set build yet
Sound like a good start good luck
Hello guys is there a way to get the turmoil knee pads somehow? Would appreciate any help 🙂
there is no current way to get turmoil knee pads right now
^Lexington and Turmoil are both not available right now, you'll have to wait for a special event.
Anyone know if u can prototype a gear mod
You cannot
Unfortunatelly this is also fake.
They can spawn behind you as well and they frequently do it.
are you in a group?
in a group all of you guys' cameras will matter
Guys, I want to do Black Tusk Retaliation, but it gets stuck at 99% and doesn’t progress at all. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
Do you have another one ready?
yes true sons ?
That's why
Thanks
OK, so where are the Hyena ringleaders at? not in Heroic District Union Arena, that's for sure...
is clan recruitment only for clans to post or people who look for a clan can also post?
@inner tendon any idea?
im coming back to division 2!
- reading patch notes ect to get caught up
saw that they are going to be adding crossplay, is there an ETA? or is it something we know is coming but just not sure when?
No eta but it will be this year
I'm doing solo runs many times as well so its not really matters.
well, i urge you to try looking to the side whenever you move from control point to control point. you'll see the ambushes don't really spawn behind or in front of you that much. it's a way to get them to not be in your way
Will check it next time. Thy.
Btw, do anyone knows how to contact with Ubi about this problem?
Before the current season I got a Ruthless for whatever reason and all 4 of its attachments in my mailbox.
Only the gun was obtainable but the mods are stuck in there. Found no any way to get them out and the notification is always up. Realy frustrating.
How to get rid of them? Already have the Ruthless for years.
what escalation mission this week would be the fastest? i been thinking space admin HQ but idk
I'm the only one that have audio bugged in countdown, Manny Ortega keep repeating the same thing about retaliation..
Does donating materials still get the 3x expertise xp
When is cross play being implemented?
This year.
Sometimes this year
Why my crit chance and dmg dont change in stats after all procs ??
awesome ty
Thanks!
does anyone have any tips on how to deal with kill squads solo when i'm using determined headhunter but don't have headhunter stacks?
Is crit damage capped?
nope
Is there a bug with this weapon skin? I can't apply it.
It's bugged
Why you recommend that? Genuine question.
DIVISION COMMUNITY I HAVE RETURNED WITH ANOTHER QUESTION I NEED ANSWERS FOR
I need recourses BADLY like titanium and stuff like that what’s the best way for me to get them? Like fastest and a lot of it
How to farm alot printer filaments for my expertise
Countdown set your targeted loot to gear mods and destroy the gear mods it gives printer filament
Sorry I didn’t tag you in it but i explained above
Thanks it’s for the event
Why my crit chance and dmg dont change in stats after all procs ??
on what
what is procing?
does being behind the shield count as being behind cover according to the game?
no
being in cover counts as being in cover or preforming a cover to cover move
Mmm i mean stacking heartbreaker set piece and crit dmg from chest
I will send photo, give me a min
heartbreaker doesn't increase crit
heartbreaker increases your damage to pulsed enemies
idk why it's related to crit
Yea yea wait sec, will send photo
shoot things in the head to pulse them or run the technician laser to pulse things without heads
OH
but when i shoot i dont see changes
you're talking about coyote, coyote's crit increases don't show up in stat screen
stats stays the same
well thats not how the mask works
it only gives you those buffs at a specific range
and cyote does not show up in the stat
Ohhhhh
but the crit increases are working
yeah game is inconsistent on things that do and dont change those numbers
obliterate also doesn't increase crit either, it increases twd
I see, ok thx cause i was thinking it is not working
very important note about this game
there are what as known as "amps" and whats known as multiplied total weapon damage
Btw u guys have any tips where i can farm kingbreaker ar ??
countdown
By seting target loot for AR ?
yes
for most things or named items countdown will be your best bet
K thx man
Are prototypes not shared? Across characters
Prototype should be since its gear
Proto cores appear to be per character at the moment
You have plenty of crits to run bighorn despite it having 0 crit mods. Plus, the damage is immediate because bighorn relies on hitting headshots which builds stacks for more headshot damage. Your damage will come from the crits themselves and the boosted damage to headshots. Unlike strega requiring you to get kills and have enemies nearby killed enemies to get those stacks
I dub the build "Crithorn" frequently and run it whenever I'm bored and need a change of weapons/gear
how do i change targeted loot? i keep picking up the same item somehow
Thank you appreciate it.
You can only change TL for Countdown, Summit and Retaliations. They all share the same selection.
You cannot change TL for Open World as it does on its own everyday.
Also another question. Suppose three enemies have the strega mark already. And then I apply the Negotiator mark too. So when I shoot one enemy, the other two ads who are getting damaged from the nego mark, that damage will also be amplified cause of the strega mark on them?
very chill
Anyone know the drop rates for the completion blueprints for retaliation? I only have four blueprints left and have had no luck for the last 10 runs
if i would push this weapon to lv30 and convert to proto without max out the core attributes, does it impact the chance to get a 2. or 3. max stats?
Why is System Corruption gear set not in Countdown?
because it's exclusive to pvp modes
Ohhhh, thanks!
Just give it a try, that's all I'm gonna say 🙏
Somebody else would've said it's protomac. Iykyk 😂
Good times, good times
lmao
so ai am doing maning zoo legendary and all my group is invisible
any idea how? i cant see them but they rip through the enemies
it was so strange
do we need to optimise gear before we prototype it?
nope, not anymore
Why is the nemesis looked at as bad?
it isnt, it has its uses but not hated at all
I just keep seeing people say it’s bugged
It was last season. The scope animation was broken
I'm having trouble with the boxes in the new extra missions; it won't let me open them. I have the radios that are there, but it never lets me open the charm box. Does anyone know why this is happening?
I tried to capture the checkpoints/flags in the mission zone, but it wouldn't let me. I activated all the yellow boxes, as if I were doing the mission normally. But it doesn't work.
duplicate exotics that are not fully proficient - deconstruct, donate to proficiency, or use them to rank them up?
keep a copy of each, the rest deconstruct
Ok thank you and if I do or don’t optimise will that affect the rolls in any way or no?
after takin Black Tusk base in DC where i get 3 canister of antivir shold i begin mission where i will fight keener in statue of liberty i want go linear
Can I get memento by targeting backpack in countdown
Yes you can
Deconstruct for exotic components. It's a core material that you will need
after tidal basin you have zoo, camp white oak, both pentagon missions, both coney island THEN the NY dlc
qq, was Pakhans reconfig bp bugged?
new late april fools modifier
so if i get that from you i will go all side main mision then i go visit keener after him its brooklyn withe kendel from D1?
is this just two hyena bounties?
Correct
sick
Anyone know if prototype caches are shared across characters
anybody willing to help with letting me farm houndsman bounty im willing to pay
Or if they are seperate
is it possible to get the lexington from target pool loot or houndsman?
No only possible from stretch goal caches
sheeesh, hope i get some good luck then! thank you for the answer
i know i asked this before but what did it mean if there is a negative number in front of the damage you dealt?
Pretty sure it's separate
Try #lfg-pc
Is headshot dmg fine on bighorn or once again gamble for dttooc
its always dtoc
you dont know about gambling until you learn about Prototype stuff 
We don't talk about that
I did a control point and it didn’t progress
Refer to the above video #ask-td2-community message
it means you dealt more than ~2.1 billion (exact number is 2^31-1)
it then wraps back to negative 2.1 billion
4th try dttooc on bighorn, 33 tries so far and still not got it on eb☹️
May rng be with you
did they fix Concentrated Company bug?
Should be fixed yes
countdown ran out of hyenas at the extraction point wtf? lol. BUGGED! PLS FIX!
do we have any info on the upcoming incursion besides its existence
What do you mean ran out of hyenas?
Nope we know it's going to at a water dam but that all
okok. not even a release date?
Nope nothing
;-; rip
Coming this year tho
do you realise this channel is not for bug reporting, right?
hyenas chopper not coming lol we were waiting
You mean hunters?
Best attachments for a prototype LVOA-C??????
can I get prototype gear even tho my expertise level is only 5?
If people are unaware of how to mod guns and are getting Prototype Gear, I think we need to lock off Prototype Gear to a later level.
Prototype gear drop isnt linked to your expertise/proficiency
I think instead of hating you should help.
Prototype Gear is a system for Escalation difficulty, nothing below it. It is well beyond needing to still be learning the basics of this game.
I got the attachments perfect thank you for your help
You wouldn't say, join a Raid and ask how to cover-to-cover move.
Why is it so difficult for you to just answer a question?
This isn't your first question that's felt like a troll account.
Well I’d have you know I’m a returning player I returned like 1 month ago after not playing for like idk how long
So spare me the “let me take the mick” and how about you help when needed?
I'm still mildly convinced you're a banned user trying to dodge it with a new account, the platform change doesn't help.
but sure. Crit mods go for crit weapons.
I’m not? This is my only dc account?
Thank you wasn’t that hard was it?
Like pulling teeth with rusty pliers
Are you a real person or AI?
You may have an active retal going on, cancel that or win it, yhen kill 25 hyenas
If you dont mean the scout, then uh idk
Full fledged human being
What if you're partially fledged?
Countdown good place to farm named items?
Why are you giving me an Optimist talent icon?
if you have houndsman or krampus bounty that will be better, otherwise yes
the Scount 2 Obj. 1, does liberating hyena control pt. contributes to the progress? I have cleared one but the progress stays 0/25
its also bugged, need to abandon all retals
Or do them if you don't wanna cancel them
yes just wanna test if this is also a workaround (only have outcasts retals earlier)
since they are updating anti-cheats, is that why i dont see chinese farming hackers anymore??
well i got one chinese hacker yesterday, oneshot all no reload lol
yes those are farmers/level up service people
so thats why there are two of them, one of them is supporting the hacker one spamming emoji
😂 thats sound so dumb but funnny. i dont know the details but the shooter uses side arm shotgun, hidesd behind the wall and one taps everything
Would it be faster getting st elmo from doing countdown with assault rifles targeted loot or black tusk retaliations on hard?
if you can't do BT retals on heroic, do challenging countdown
?
Using a skill or weapon will go faster than just having it equipped during this event eright
yes
okay cool
As someone who doesn't ever want to do pvp or raid, what should I spend printer filament on for the proficiency event? I'm guessing exotics I'll never be able to get
What are the sub attributes aside from CHC and CHD?
yes this one its funny if you saw it, they're running heroic with all directives
So as of this season, they have added the exclusive exotics as possible blueprint drops from blacktusk team 9 kill squads that rarely appear in retaliations. I think the only missing one is the regulus however there is a chance they bring the actual exotics as a super rare drop in end of season caches again. But other than the reg all the other former exclusives can be gotten via retaliations now!
And black tusk retaliations*
hmm
For 3 red subs, would be double crit and weapon handling since it can't roll headshot iirc
is there a list of the rarest or the pvp/dz and raid exclusve items?
i already have the yaahl backpack i'm leveling
Eagle Bearer, and Ravenous can come from both Raid and Dark Zone. They can also be crafted now.
ok i'll spend my printer filament on those to start i guess
The ones you could focus on expertise though would be: eagle bearer, ravenous, regulus, ouroborous and optionally the master mode drops like sheriff, tempest, birdies quick fix, tinkerer, provocator. As for DZ most of the stuff will be named items you can get elsewhere but stuff like emperor's guard, dark winter, hollow man, matador, liquid engineer are dz "exclusives" along with system corruption or yaahl unless a vendor gets them
Regulus remains the rarest weapon. There are 2 ways of getting it, crafting through Iron Horse raid project or from Anniversary cache which also contains other unique named items like Lexington, Caretaker, Turmoil, etc.
ok i will write down all those names. thanks
i just read you don't have to make everything proficient to reach 30, i thought you did
back to the grindstone i guess
430ish roughly
which is worth crafting first ouroboros eagle bearer or big horn?
is it a good AR better than the smg ouroboros?
I'd say EB
Big Horn is mostly used in PvP iirc
Different types of guns. Ouroboros is a decent SMG, Bighorn is a great AR for PvP and it's OK for PvE
the oreo fires really fast and that's basically it
i heard its talent was meh
yeah its talent is basically useless
it's one of those exotics where you use it for the gun, not for the talent
the one thing that i dont do lmao
It has some use for PvP. In PvE it's kinda useless indeed. The talent I mean
another one is tempest. people use it because it's an automatic pistol. its talent is generally left unused
yea i see tempest on tank build
Tempest on tank build would be pointless
yet 99% of Bulwark tanks use it
why not use mosquito and become marginally more useful smh
Peashooter. It needs WD and crits to be decent
i just use tempest when someone has their ammo-related directive on 
Summit 9 directives, my go-to build for that lol
chatter box or ouroboros for smg hunter build?
Can't top Chatterbox IF you can keep its stacks up
mine fall off if its a chungas
or in a cover because of too many enemies supressing you
Hey does anyone have an idea why I cant buy a reconfiguration bp for my capacitor?
I got one looted but its not showing up
is your capacitor level 35
No its 40 I got it recently
try relogging
Ya still not showing up idk
You did check if Inaya sells it, right?
Ya not showing up in her shop
Idk then, sry
Ya ill figure it out thanks for trying though man
where to get core strength BP?
Blueprints or backpack
The blueprints are obtainable through journey VII
sorry i mean blue print
right, retaliation is blocking my scout missions
Best place to farm receiver components is just going to countdown and deconstructing everything right?
Been trying to reroll this exotic and it won’t budge even after 10 rolls
Store
okay thank you
is overlord not in the general pool or something because i just got one and i had to craft it
Once one acquired every drop from countdown whats the best way to get the items I still need for proficiency?
Mayhem bundle, have to wait for it to come back in the store
It is
i've literally never seen it drop
Thats called an RNG issue, trust me I have it so I would know
600 hours and i've never seen the damn thing, thank god it was that one and not an exotic that's actually good
me with overdogs: 😭
What retaliation does eagle bearer bp drop, just surprised to see EB in my crafting table just didnt know where it came from
I linked you the sheet in #td2-general-chat ?
Unless ur discord didnt take u to the message for some reason
Yeah, all good 😂
when you see the # thats usually what it means
When you see the little chat icon bubble at the end though its pointing you to a message
Okie okie thanks lmao
I heard somewhere there is gonna be a spring event? Is that true?
if its true it better not be during the expertise event 😭😭
bra i didnt know they made eb drop in lz modes now thats nice lol
Saved me from having to do 500 raids
Didn't really care for the other exotics that u can get from them anyway that arent included in retal
reminds me of when eb dropped for me in lv30 dz, i gave it away since i had it already. probably have a screenshot here somewhere
Yeah I was lucky enough to get it on my first and only raid 💀
I still have it in my stash somewhere
it took me i think 6-8 runs for it
If it makes u feel any better, whatever that other raid is that doesnt drop EB I didnt get crap on 😭
I've only done both raids once just for the comps
I'm friendless
🤣 i did them from this server as well
does prototype drops on mr30?
Yaahl gear only drops in DZ isnt it?
what?
yes, but the drop rate is abysmal
sometimes yaahl gear appears in the clan store, you can buy a bunch of them and decon them so you can craft yaahl gear yourself or donate to expertise
pretty sure a yaahl backpack is currently in the clan store
It is, I bought 10 of em.
does it drop when ur still not lvl 30 expertise?
yes
on what tier?
any
The drop is also a abysmal. Tier 10 drop rate is 1.50% iirc
That's per NPC.
ok tnx
Question, im trying to unlock scout 2 but for some reason, it's not letting me do the tasks for it. I've compeleted scout 1 but i cant proceed
holy crap, nevermind 😭
i figured it out, mb
When I have mod auto-dismantling active, will it also deconstrct duplicates if the mod is in my stash rather than my inventory?
it decons every mod that you pick up that has a lower % than those that you have
Wait you can do that? How?
go to your mods tab
wai-wai-wai-wait
guys is sgt wade from TS or BT ?
TS. BT named enemies dont have rank in their name but nickname or callsign.
Then?
tks
is getting profiency on exotics slower xp than regular gear?
Is the eagle bearer skin in the shop actually the eagle bearer? Looks like the exotic sniper
Question: What's the point of the retaliations? I've tried a couple of them, but they only give me 5 minutes to cover an entire area and capture all the control points. It takes me two to three minutes just to reach the first one and another two or three to clear it. By the time the leader appears, the time is over. It's literally impossible; I barely have time to even start.
Have to basically ignore everything on the way.
Having a quickstep pistol helps alot, also ignore the enemies that you encounter on the road
Except if its a kill squad
Unless its a Killsquad
how do you upgrade to prototype? ive got cores and 30 expertise on the gun
I said mods tab, not inside an item
So it will automatically deconstruct any mod thats not max rolled?
no, that is lower than those that you have
ohh do you need 3 prototype cores to upgrade...
Im currently using max rolled CHC and CHD mods.
Try matchmaking for groups, target rich environments get you lotsa extra time. You also get more time for capturing points and completing the manoeuvres it gives you along the way
Unless you're really low on damage you'll end up with lots of time to spare on Challenging at least
no it's only one, what the hell am i doing wrong
try unequipping it first
yeah managed that just a sec ago thx
very nice
If a game lets you create any build you want but forces you to play DPS, then it's bad design. If I'm forced to play with random people who might not even speak my language or treat the game like work, then it's bad design. And time limits as a mechanic should be eradicated from any game that isn't exclusively a racing game; they're excessively stressful and add nothing.
Okay 👍
the things is: nothing is forcing you to do content that requires a meta-dps build.
There's plenty of content and difficulties in the game to pick from and you don't really need to do lower than Heroic (especially solo) to run almost anything your heart desires.
But its always the "my nbb hazpro skill hybrid can't clear the hardest content reeeeeee" right...
na, keep the timer.....it keeps and prevents players from sitting and camping for hours in 1 room
Pffffff sucks no one is doing raids
but...but...but... it's a cover based shooter, I should be able to sit in cover as much as I want without being hurt 😭
na, there is a difference in cover to cover, when camping in a room not intended for combat or engagment.
how can it be a "cover based shooter" if me using cover doesn't create a protective forcefield that prevents me from dying 😭
It would be nice if the timer didn't start until someone left the safe house though, gimme a moment to quickly check loot in back to back retaliations
Huh? Retaliation isn't meant to check loot
In back to back retaliations you get a load of items, fills up quick
it's pretty active across the community and streamers.. it's just that xbox is kind of downer right now.. hopefully the crossplay combines us all which will be great.
It's a good idea to make sure your inventory is empty enough to handle a timed mode before you start it.
Same with Countdown.
Yeah, I do, but you get like 40-50 things per retaliation
Keep going... you empty out space before you even start the retaliation lol. I just either don't pick it up or I keep going (Been max expertise for a while)
But any exotics I immediately deconstruct and keep on moving
Keep in mind it's like a speed run... forget that loot
i keep 60 slots free for countdown but with all the stuff i have that's not really possible anymore lmao
Yeah I'm not max expertise so it's an entirely different experience for me, you gotta remember that
True, that's why I said to empty out space for it
As I said, I do, but with 3 back to back it's not possible to have space. Some stuff has to go
And honestly, don't even pick up anything fr. You have to prioritize your timer
The 90 seconds at the end of one retal is barely enough
There's plenty of time in the actual thing, I end up with loads of time left over, but that doesn't translate into extra time at the end to quickly sift through things. And it is quick, check library, skim items, drop into expertise. But it'd be nice to have a bit longer
I always just donate and deconstruct junk between control points
Hey I needed exotic components one day and kept it pushing, I know I'll get it some other time lol
If you really want Exo Comps over anything else, open the CP chests mid-run, they also count for the TL as well.
In div2, you have to be ruthless with your inventory. Otherwise you overload incredibly fast.
I actually skip those as well. I just move onto the next cp
usually this.. but I got into habit of just skimming through items, then dismantling them all if I don't need anything.. I just take what I need and dismantle the rest on the ground.
Each CP chest has a chance to give you an Exo Comp, just for the record.
Think of loot in div2 like this: can you make it perfect with 1 recal, and a few optimisations? If not and it's not an Exotic: junk it.
Best advice I've always given is to divide your build archetypes across the 4 characters to maximize keeping your inventory around 85-105 at all times.
It helps because I can pick up a lot and delete it if I picked it up during the retaliation back to back runs
Almost all of my characters are at 145/150 inventory bc I have so many useful builds but not enough loadouts slots.
UBISOFT ADD MORE BUILD SLOTS PLEASE, NOT MORE STASH SPACE 🙏
Yeah always just deconstruct the loot if you dont really need it. Ik you aren't max expertise like you mentioned, but you don't have to pick up stuff. Save that for countdown
Both would be nice
that didn't really workf or me.. I got overwhelmed so much when I had 4 characters. It got worse LOL.. now I'm back to 2 and much more managable.. and build swapping is also a pain.
Builds with shared pieces can cut down a lot on your inventory space.
but even so: you have to be ruthless with pieces. You do not need 150 slots taken up at all times in your inventory.
That's just bad management lol
We have 500 stash space now, which is more than plenty. We need more build slots
How? Every single piece on my character slots all have a purpose and make a difference in the battlefield. I also have other pieces on those characters that make up into different builds because I don't have slots for them due to all 16 slots being taken up. It's not bad management, it's lack of slots lol
Lord Aizen of all people would know what that's like 🙏
It can definitely work, you just have to make it work
I have
Main dps and only dps (6 builds)
Defense builds (4 builds)
Headshot only (3 builds)
Skills (5 builds)
And I literally have no more than 90-100 stuff on each character
You can just use one build slot per gearset
No offense meant to the game here or anything, but a lot of the gearsets in div2 are.....not great.
Wait, define "defense" builds.....
But then I can't have 5 different version of striker.. haz pro, dps, generalist 🙂
You do not need 5 different versions of Striker.
It can work, you just cannot make every character pick up everything
And not every gear set is good. About half of them need reworks... Most of the players don't even know what Ace and 8's is lmao
😌
Me who use nothing but the good gear, still chilling at 145/150:
To be 100% honest: if I join a Retaliation and someone stops every encounter to inventory manage; I am bailing.
Tank builds and hybrid tank builds
Simple
Yup I'm checking out of this convo 😂😂😂😂😂
just messin'.. I never felt I need more build slots in fairness.. more stash space is always welcome though
Well if its there's yes, but if its mine I'm going to continue it lol
If I start a Retal with a maxed out inventory, I am emptying out at least 50 pieces into the stash before i leave the safe house.
And the more Retal's you play, the better your inventory management, since you get Reconstructed Caches, and you don't need to keep as many pieces.
For me, if it's not better than anything I have, it gets deconned. I have basically everything in the game. I can't remember the last time I picked up loot and kept it to use it
you know.. now when I think about it.. what would be a nice QoL improvement, like they are doing now with compare after update.. To pull build items not only from stash but from other characters.. that would be nice. Right now, you kind of have to send the build to stash and pick it up on the other character.
I hardly use the stash unless I'm dropping guns or gear for another character
Once I spawn in I don't even look at chests lmao.
But I speed run mine. I do hate when ppl try to pick up loot every kill in retaliations
Mostly the same, but I recently decided to jump into the lengmo/habsburg red train.
It's a long train.
You finally on your unicorn arc? About time! Give 2 Habs + 2 Airaldi a try. Chainkiller and Overdogs too. Works great as an alternative to hotshot (just slightly lower damage but way more handling)
Please tell me if you got the ultra unicorn Habsburg backpack 🙏
to be fair... a lot of people have possibly newer accounts so gear for them is everything.. most of us went throught that at the start. Pick up everything so you don't miss something good.
Yes, that's my situation
Ngl I didn't, it it wasn't better for what I had back during the gear score days, I didn't pick it up
I've got an absolutely flawlessly tweaked up Airaldi bp at this point, it's going to be hard to overcome that one.
For me I already have everything good. It's all just free resources for me at this point
Yeah once I managed to craft my Habs backpack, I realized "well damn, I'm never gonna use this thing except for the Dark Hours 1 shot build"
should i gamble away my spare lexingtons to try and get a full max roll prototype or just be content with this one i have that is min/min/max?
But from what we said earlier. If it isn't better than whatever you have, something you need, or an exotic...always deconstruct and keep it pushing
I like not having absolutely everything done anymore. I didn't need to loot anything for about 3 years and it felt like I was "done".
gotta have that goal to chase.
I just let my friends carry me in Retal
What do you use?
I get it, I'm just saying what I feel people feel if they are newer accounts. For me personally it's completely irrelevant at this point, I have most of the items in blueprints too.. and you basically have everything.. but for them, gear drops and getting good stuff or better stuff and they don't have the muscle memory to quickly check cause they don't even know until they go to white house to compare if that makes sense. I get folks like that. The amount of loot Division 2 has is sometimes overwhelming for folks.
My current goal right now is eventually making some of my gear prototype. I don't care much how it will roll, because meh it doesn't really apply anywhere besides open world and escalation. I just can't be assed to constantly run escalation in hopes of prototype and farming exotic comps isn't an ideal thing to me either
I just don't do Retal 
Halibutbreaker dps/tank hybrid.
Sorry, that one floundered.
That's what penguin uses?
They said they just let their friends carry them so I was wondering what build they use
Lol
halibutbreaker.. that's a first one I heard 🙂
I had a trout about it, no hake on what you use though.
