[pseudo tundra]

rolls on heroic are a bit better, just a bit and you get some extra countdown credits, but if you are not in an efficient team it takes longer so it's less worth the grind

[kindred mason]

Is there a way to remove the annoying "recommended activities: projects" popup permanently?

[unreal solar]

Nope

[trim ivy]

do diamond transceivers drop from any retaliation? does one group drop them more?

[slim elk]

they only drop from BT IIRC

[trim ivy]

ah, yeah I thought that might be the case

[bold tiger]

you can also turn SHD watches into those and those back to shd watches

[trim ivy]

I didn't see an option to make the diamond transceivers but I did see the other options

[pseudo kindle]

yall where is the thing for manual override on this propaganda broadcast

[bold tiger]

it's there it looks like one of those mobile street lamps

[bleak oracle]

are you maybe looking for the yellow key

[bold tiger]

they did an update where it doesn't glow yellow anymore, you just run over to something and pick it up

[pseudo kindle]

i give up lmao, i cant find a thing

[bold tiger]

well, that picture doesn't tell us anything really

[trim ivy]

yeah you are looking for a yellow key that an enemy dropped

[quaint dock]

Best place to farm for Rock n Roll? I've never touched the DZ and would prefer to stay out of it

[bold tiger]

named caches, reconstructed caches or be patient waiting for Mendoza or countdown vendor to sell them

[winter elk]

whats the elite distribution like in retaliations? is it the same as heroic?

[bleak oracle]

a lot more elites

[winter elk]

pfe is worth it then?

[bleak oracle]

i would still go just straight damage tbh

[bold tiger]

still get them reds and purple bars that'll just come one tap you 😹

[somber spoke]

What’s better for group healing/support: future initiative, refactor, or measured assembly

[earnest harness]

gotta love this shit update

[hollow reef]

?

[deep ingot]

👁️ 👄 👁️

[deep ingot]

FI with scorpio shotty and The setup backpack

love the combo also BTSU gloves

[somber spoke]

Better damage than refactor?

[deep ingot]

you dont deal dmg, you buff everyone else by a bunch

[somber spoke]

Isn’t the benefit of refactor that you can heal and deal damage?

[bold tiger]

yes, but how often is your turret/drone doing to damage things especially if they take cover?

[somber spoke]

I mean the drone can go around cover

[bold tiger]

still gotta travel around that cover to finally hit them....so not always going to be healing

[deep ingot]

would you rather have a refractor afking in the back or a FI, BTSU, setup, scorpio demon debuffing/ccing/and resetting cooldowns on repeat

[bleak oracle]

drone also gets swatted like a fly

[bold tiger]

awww, you told them 😹

[calm harbor]

i got a guy stuck in the building in this retaliation and i cant complete the control point any tips?

[deep ingot]

oxidizer chem launcher ability

its the go to to kill stuck npcs in walls/doors

[calm harbor]

aoe not big enough to get them

[deep ingot]

uhh, rip

[bleak oracle]

swap on some skill tiers?

[calm harbor]

cant change in combat

[bold tiger]

hot swap

[bleak oracle]

not loadouts but you can change individual pieces manually

[calm harbor]

yep did that still cant hit him

the last control point with the last enemy on the 3rd run lol

[pearl pasture]

OC oxi?

[bold tiger]

about only OC i can think of is acosta bag

[calm harbor]

yeh tried it all it was the chunkga guy too

[pearl pasture]

The overdrive modifier works for a few seconds too

[pearl pasture]

Rip

[bold tiger]

overdrive modifier?

[desert thunder]

Any one know where I can craft sun glasses? Or how about a talent call "not so bright" where is gives you 5 minutes of no light blinding ya with a cool down of 60 seconds

[bold tiger]

the active right? then we gotta do something to get those stacks don't we?

[leaden crag]

So the game took away my remaining krampus missions I had stored

I would use it to farm loot I never completed it and now they are gone

[pearl pasture]

Yeah and yes but don't worry about utility just go red and blue stacks, one does cooldown other does OC time

[desert thunder]

No because you collected more bounties. If you don't do them, the older bounties get deleted

[leaden crag]

Well damn .. I had no idea, well that stinks

[bold tiger]

wait, they took them out?

[somber spoke]

For FI healing build, wouldnt it be better to run the FI backpack than the setup backpack for the healing?

[desert thunder]

No still got them. It's just if you collect too many bounties. What ends up having this? The older ones get deleted. So I'm going to have to clear out those four bounties if I want to continue keeping my Krampus

[cobalt sedge]

No, you get enough healing, the damage boost from opportunistic is invaluable

[bold tiger]

ahh, was thinking game is buggy as is, i wouldn't be surprised if they got removed 😹

[pearl pasture]

No and yes, for more healing sure or safeguard on an alps bp but FI is ideally a buffer set with healing to boot. The setup + scorpio is a huge boost to teams dps while you will still heal plenty with a hive and chem launcher

Scorpio + setup is (i think) 35% amp damage on target. Plus the 25% total WD/SD from FI set. Huge bonuses when stacked.

[somber spoke]

For FI healing is it better to have a repair or a reviver hive

[bleak oracle]

repair

[pearl pasture]

Honestly sort of depends on the content but most of the time just use repair hive, ideally you wanna stop people going down.

In some cases of end game stuff people will go down so you could argue reviver in that situation but probably 90% of the time use resto

[hollow reef]

How do you make the damage appearing like a list?

[bleak oracle]

when would you ever use revive hive on fi healer

dps supposed to run their own anyway and with btsu you give them their cooldowns back

[somber spoke]

Did they nerf healing? I feel like healing hive and foam are not healing as much as they used to with FI

[bleak oracle]

heals the same for me

[deep ingot]

heals are the same

ive been using the FI build for years

[hollow reef]

damn it my settings got reset to default

[deep ingot]

👁️ 👄 👁️

[hollow reef]

How do you make the damage appearing like a list?

[deep ingot]

uh gameplay, UI

idk off the top of my head, im on another game atm but its set to Damage (centered) on default

gotta change that setting, i forgot the name

[deep ingot]

Scrolling combat text, change it to floating

settings>UI>scrolling combat text

[winter elk]

what combo of passive modifiers gives the most max armour? is it double saturate and converge?

[hollow reef]

Theres no UI category

[deep ingot]

oh, your on pc arent you

[hollow reef]

yeh

[hollow reef]

@left ravine

[deep ingot]

someone help this man, im a console pleb

😭

[left ravine]

Bro you gotta be logged in

[hollow reef]

fml

[deep ingot]

👁️ 👄 👁️

[hollow reef]

Bruh moment indeed.

[left ravine]

This game's menus are something else, I know

[hollow reef]

Thank you.

[deep ingot]

i was about to say, i googled it and it just said the same thing to me xD UI>combatscrolling>floating

[left ravine]

Your game's a bit dark, man

[iron zinc]

Anyone know if repair skills work on decoy ?

[rugged stratus]

repair skills work on healing skills

if you are using an artificer it will repair a decoy better when you have repair skills on a build.

[iron zinc]

Thanks

[wide patrol]

whats a good way to get exotic component?

[bleak oracle]

priority objectives

[desert thunder]

retaliation

[wide patrol]

do they drop as components?

[bleak oracle]

they drop into you rinventory as gear or wepaon from priority obejctives, retaliation is from a cache

[desert thunder]

You get an exotic cache that you can crush to get a component on top of it. You can make it like gloves or knee pads or whatever loot and there's a good chance that an exotic will drop when you do it as well

[bleak oracle]

but retaliations suck since it takes too long and you need to agitate enemies

[wide patrol]

it sucks alot i wish we can use resource that tied to the faction to agitate them oh well. ty guys

[desert thunder]

Or you could do countdown as well buy the caches

[bleak oracle]

cant even buy 1 with 1 countdown

[final cove]

Is there any workaround for the "put out the flames" bug in federal bunker?

[desert thunder]

Yes, I agree. It takes a long time to get an exotic cache but they lowered the components to upgrade and stuff

[left ravine]

It still takes too long to get an item to Exp. 30

[restive hill]

anyone know where this AA-12 'Tendrils' skin came from? unsure how I got it or when. It's not in this current season

[hollow reef]

Is "The Gift" unique named or something?

Named backpack with Perfect Vigilance from Providence brand.

[bleak oracle]

its part of the dz loot pool

[hollow reef]

No wonder why Im not getting it in the past few countdown runs

[bleak oracle]

yea doesnt drop there

[left ravine]

Maybe Danny Weaver caches

[restive hill]

maybe..??

[left ravine]

He sells two caches a week with old seasonal skins

[left ravine]

Yeah, season 10 season pass reward

[restive hill]

ahh that explains it

[somber spoke]

How do you get the equalizer chest plate now?

[left ravine]

Same as always, targeted loot. Technically also named item caches but not worth it

[hollow reef]

Target loot Unit Alloy.

[mellow trout]

It was in the anniversary cache pool

Think Danny also can have it as mentioned

[hollow reef]

Did anybody realize the Blacktusk is using Chameleon?

[lofty arrow]

does black tusk retaliation have a chance to drop overdogs or is it just hyena

[slim elk]

if you're talking about the item itself, it's in the general loot pool
if it's about the crafting blueprint, only Hyenas

[lofty arrow]

got it
so farm hyena retaliation for overdog bp and countdown with glove tl for the overdog item? or is there a better mode for farming the drop

[slim elk]

that's it

[lofty arrow]

damn alright

can I change my tl mid run

[slim elk]

ye

[versed harbor]

Just saw some dude with a proto upgrade to both core and 1 other attribute on his backpack? I thought you were limited to either the core or a minor attribute not both?

[left ravine]

"Endgame activity"

Why do ppl who didn't even finish the campaign play Escalations...

[lofty arrow]

can I shoot down grenades shot by a grenade launcher

[left ravine]

Yes

That's why they're marked during flight

[warm salmon]

it's possible to have all 3 stats prototyped if you're lucky

[cloud topaz]

what does it mean when people talk about stretch goals

[slim elk]

it's an event that takes place when a season comes to its end, it involves leveling up the Season pass past lvl100 to get Stretch Goal caches which have very low chances of granting Lexington and Turmoil

[cloud topaz]

cool. i was afraid it was related to the season journey, which i don't really want to finish

i'm pretty far in the season pass tho.

[rose abyss]

Is the reason I cant optimize a piece of gear that isnt an exotic I dont have it in my library?

[slim elk]

When you don’t have a max roll extracted your item cannot be Optimized to max. You’ll have to find a higher roll, extract it and then optimize it to its max.

[rose abyss]

Okay thanks thats what I thought ty

[austere wren]

how do i start the new season manhunt?

[nimble spruce]

Map menu, manhunt tab, activate scout

[hollow reef]

Who's this painted?

[violet cypress]

A fallen agent. Dont remember his real name but Massive decided to add this to the game.

Edit:
John Arnold aka A-john.

[high mauve]

best way to farm for coyote mask?

[wise void]

hyena kill squads in retaliations for the blueprint

[high mauve]

ok thanks?

[cinder shadow]

is this going to be the new master difficulty exotic ?

[slim elk]

ye

[cinder shadow]

is there any info on what its going to do ?

[hollow reef]

Any idea on the talent?

[slim elk]

not that I know of

[cinder shadow]

ok thanks

[mellow trout]

It's in the patch notes

You get increased damage when you draw it while it's primed iirc

[winter mason]

What did they fix with the chameleon?

[hollow reef]

I dont remember they fixing anything.

[somber spoke]

Weapon UI was broken

[rose abyss]

Are kill squads in the DLC's less common?

or difficulty based?

[slim elk]

rng based

[novel shard]

Yup

[leaden crypt]

Do we know if the gold/ultimate edition will include the new DLC when it comes out?

[vale token]

I am pretty sure its not included

[sterile echo]

I have 16 prototype coins but cannot level up augment. How come?

[edgy scroll]

@bleak oracle brother i have to buy that national bond armory right for that xp farm

that 1m xp farm in 2-3 min , you talked about it

[fathom agate]

Is anyone else getting Mike error codes while trying to log in?

[tiny flint]

deadeye event is kinda fun

[pseudo tundra]

Did you use the item enough to get XP.for the augment bar?

[hollow reef]

Heh, I keep forgetting GFL 1 used to collab with Div 1 years ago.

Anyway, are there unique SHD skills that arent available to us other than Lockdown Seeker mines that belong to Major Williams, and Riot Foam trap used by the True Sons?.

[pseudo tundra]

not sure if lovebirds use any special ones since it's mentioned they got access to SHD tech

i remember the sniper turret

and i think also use mortars

but the mortars dont seem to be a SHD tech stuff and just cleaner stuff

[bleak oracle]

Yea that’s right

[edgy scroll]

brother thanx a lot 27 levels in 30 min

crazy 😄

[wintry plover]

Hi, is the osprey 9 suppressor still available? I just finished the missing scavengers mission and i got a scope instead

[past socket]

anyone having this bug? planning to invite people but ui not showing up. cannot press "esc" or any button. the only solutions is "alt+f4"

[odd condor]

their defender drone gives total immunity until you destroy it, but that's about it

[hollow reef]

Oh yeah that.

[steep void]

good thing we base game players also can buy it with free 200 credit now

[pseudo tundra]

tho that seems more of a weird experimental hunter tech i assume

yes i know the implication but it's not just regular SHD tech jury rigged like the other stuff in iron raid

[tawdry kelp]

Hey guys, I have a question I'm gonna right now attack Tidal Basin and I don't know what to do after it, there is a lot of content and I don't know in which order I need to play it because I want to follow the story and I haven't play the game in like months

[pseudo tundra]

#ask-td2-community message

[tawdry kelp]

Thank you ^^

[pseudo tundra]

tidal basin, year 1 missions, WONY, manhunts pretty much

[tawdry kelp]

Okay thank you! ^^

[tiny flint]

is the exp to profiency a 1 to 1 ratio ?

[sterile echo]

Raucy explained indeed, no I didn’t. Thanks!

[tawny wagon]

Oooh there's so much to do when you've been away for years. After getting expertise to 30 I will need to start doing the story missions (manhunts and such) which are IMO the most interesting ones. This is wonderful, there's more stuff to do than I anticipated.

[lean hare]

can exotic att be changed ?

[pseudo tundra]

elaborate

guns can chance their third attributes

gear usually no

buuut, investor gimmick is being random everytime you reroll it for the talent

and i htink another kneepad has random 3rd roll also then recalibrating

[pseudo tundra]

if you use recalibration blueprint on the crafting table you can change all the values and what the third attribute is

it will reroll as if it was a new item

[hollow reef]

err... thats quite disturbing. You think other BTSU Team 9 member is like this?

[lean hare]

i think shes over reacting

[leaden crypt]

if i'm looking for a specific backpack should i targer for the brand or the backpack

[dim pewter]

That "farm" is gonezo

[atomic barn]

how do i find elite patrol?

[tulip folio]

Does extracting stats for library effect the stats you can pick from when recalibrating?

[blazing ruin]

hmm how to do this
i saw that handcuff icon .. but once i FastTravel there it disappear

[tawny wagon]

How does one go about doing the journey mission 7 requirement?

Ah shit this one wants to go about messing with stacks and modules.

[mellow trout]

It's one of the easier journeys as it's mostly just get X kills with Y modifiers equipped

[wraith niche]

you’ve gotten further than me, I’ve been trying to get that for 2 days now, ready to give up on the Manhunt stuff entirely
.

[slim bone]

Hello, I just came back to the game after a long time since I got told it’s crossplay now but how do I invite my friends ?

[hollow reef]

Crossplay is only confirmed, dont know when its going to be released.

[blazing ruin]

i try relog still no

[slim bone]

Ah okay thanks

[wraith niche]

You need to reset your map, then look for green handcuffs until it pops up again.

I’ll add, I’ve re-set my map 11 times now. Still haven’t received that bounty.

[weak finch]

Is the beacon exotic chest working or still bugged?

[desert furnace]

Is it every possible the devs will release Lexington into the named item pool?

For stuff like named item caches, targeted loot, etc.

[mellow trout]

Wouldn't know, but safe bet that even if they do it won't be for a long time

Just wait for stretch goals and it'll drop like hotcakes

[left ravine]

Doesn't look like it and no info on that

[nimble spruce]

they're more likely to spawn when you have lots of green CPs

[wraith niche]

Oh no - I was just following advise, from Reddit lol

I AM getting the hostage rescue’s, and bounties, just not for the Draugr.

So I do you suggest I do all 3 CPs, and just watch that zone, until they pop up, do the mission & bounty, then wait for more green handcuffs to appear?

[nimble spruce]

if you did the previous 2 manhunt tasks for week three then the draugr is guaranteed to spawn, check Constitution hall for a bounty called 'the unquiet'

the hostage rescue part (second task) can be done anywhere on the map

[wraith niche]

I did do the previous 2 weeks.

Hostage rescue information is brilliant, thank you!

I’ll check Constitution hall as soon as I’m online 🙂

[pseudo tundra]

the bounty has unique scout simbol

[wraith niche]

thank you, I didn’t realise, only been playing a short while

[sudden elk]

❓

• Is there a way to hide your skills (shield, drone, hive) on your back pack?
  They are clipping with other stuff visually.
  Looks crowded.
  ❓

[fluid mountain]

Yes

[real cypress]

nope

it looks crowded because ur running memento which has alot of accessories

[fluid mountain]

Not as far as I know, only your specilization can be hidden

[fast light]

Um cool i suppose??? lol

[fluid mountain]

Whats the fastest way to level specilization ?

[zinc aspen]

Bighorn hits hard with this Global modifier

[warm salmon]

level up normally, some bounties and projects also give points

[steep void]

with this event one shot on t4/t5 works, it feels nice not shooting millions of bullet

[pseudo kindle]

why does it say i boosted my character? all i did was go to the wony expansion after i hit lvl 30 which is what is required???

also what achievements are unavailable for a boosted char?

[lone haven]

doesn't affect them

[robust sedge]

Is there a way to cheese the boomer fight? Trying to get the rapid response merit but having trouble finding people to do it

[shadow isle]

just make people use the minigun only once, and use the double-down method to speed up the process.
There's a trick with the Negotiator set where you can dmg the boss even when technically he's invulnerable, but that may have been patched out. Haven't seen people use that method in a while

[wispy merlin]

it's still there

[blazing ruin]

man this is so stupid quest ... i saw the handcuff icon but when i about to arrive .. it disappear

how to even complete it

[nimble spruce]

If you go to NY before finishing the main story up to tidal basin, it counts as a boost and auto-completes the story that far, along with any remaining side quests

[nimble spruce]

You can do the hostage rescue activity anywhere on the map, capturing lots of control points will increase the chances of them spawning

[blazing ruin]

not work .. i try do the rescue not the right one

[nimble spruce]

Public executions don't work, has to be the green handcuffs icon, if it still doesn't count then complete/abandon any active retaliations you have

[blazing ruin]

hmm this is the third time just now ... it appeared but when i was aboutto be there it gone

[lone haven]

is there a chart that shows what the max % of the prototype augments are once gear is fully levelled?

still helpful thanks

[left ravine]

Hang on, this is the updated version. Scrap the other one

[lone haven]

yeh 50 proto cores was crazy

[deep ingot]

spent 16 cores yesterday in hopes of rerolling my augment to echo, nope another grenade augment 👁️ 👄 👁️

[west wren]

alrighty folks i figured I'd ask just to be sure:

it is PURELY rng that the raid/incursion exotic blueprint(s) drop from finishing black tusk retaliations, yes?

just to clarify, I have done both raids but not the incursion, managed to get EB, Rav and Ouro blueprints

my friend hasn't done either and got all three

and we've taken her partner, a returning player, through 3 3 in 1 BT retaliations and nothing.

so I'm just asking to confirm that it is in fact just a case of RNGesus needing to feel nice instead of the fact they are SHD lvl 160~, right? 🙏🏻😭

[left ravine]

Is

there

a

reason

you space out your text so much?
It's just RNG

[pseudo tundra]

it's just RNG

[final cove]

Do you need to be "holding" the weapon in order to get it's prototype effect? I have a pistol with Anomaly and I'm wondering if I'll get the healing from it if I'm not "holding" the pistol.

[left ravine]

Augments are only active on your equipped weapons

[final cove]

Damn, thanks!

[wispy merlin]

just like how normal talents work

[final cove]

Yea I guess I could have figured that one out... Silly questions are silly.

[sour mortar]

How to beat RNG 101:

Step One: don’t worry about it.
Step Two: get what you wanted unexpected

[bold tiger]

we need this pinned 😹

[left ravine]

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.

[bold tiger]

i'm surpised we don't have this as a pin that we can just point people to 😹

[left ravine]

Ppl don't read pins either

So you would need someone to point at the pins, lmao

[bold tiger]

oh i know, but it'd be nice to have it pinned. so i can click on pin, grab the message pin and post it and say click this

[sour mortar]

People is more than likely want the answer given to them on the dot…

Than someone look for it, can’t find it. Then ask… can be blind seeing the answer front of them

[atomic barn]

do we know what inside the exotic cache?

[left ravine]

wat

[bold tiger]

Exotic components for most people

[left ravine]

Do you mean the loot pool?

[atomic barn]

yea

[bold tiger]

Think that's what they were hoping a list of it

[left ravine]

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

A tad outdated by now

[atomic barn]

i feel like i mostly got duplicate

[left ravine]

Yeah that's RNG for you. Go do Priority Objectives

On average it seems you get exotics you don't have yet

[bold tiger]

I just believe all exotics minus raid exclusive, incursion exclusives and now climax mission exclusives as well

[atomic barn]

doing the main mission feel too long haha

[bold tiger]

Longer than countdown spamming?

[atomic barn]

atleast with countdown it 2 in 1

[bold tiger]

i feel with countdown spamming it's too much gambling. you queue and might have to wait for that 1 player as people get tired of waiting they leave so you're always in taht 1 player bit or you get all 8 but leader is afk or clueless about being leader so you sit even longer 😹

[plush cedar]

Is the ravenous good? 🤔

I just got it's blueprint, i also got the bighorn.

All from heroic bt retaliations

[west wren]

as long as you keep swapping shoulders when the corresponding stacks are full, yes

[elder snow]

What’s the best high end chestpiece to put obliterate/ perfect obliterate on for my striker build?👀

[plush cedar]

Ohhh i see i see 🤔 thanks.

[bold tiger]

you realize perfect talents are on very specific brands and pieces right?

[blazing ruin]

💀 hmm ok i take it...

[plush cedar]

Big Alejandro? 👀

[blazing ruin]

yeah

[plush cedar]

Niceeee

[elder snow]

Perfect obliterate or obliterate I said

[blazing ruin]

12 tried ... but the dttoc gonna take a while to fill

[plush cedar]

I got mine with 12% dmg againts out of cover

[bold tiger]

yes, perfect is on one specific piece so you'd use that. pretty sure will say stick to the perfect because it provides 4% more damage fully stacked

[west wren]

Well, "The Equalizer" has perfect obliterate so that's what you'll want

[blazing ruin]

what i dont understand this ... when i press optimize it didnt go up from 8% ... unless i press second time... why

[plush cedar]

Damn 12 tries? It took me like 4 to get the god rolls. 😭

[west wren]

however, if you don't have it, it's your choice, depending on what you're running.
ARs for example? Fenris, Grupo or Ceska are the key three

[bold tiger]

ceska being #1 since strikers lacks chance

[west wren]

true, true...

[elder snow]

Yeah I’m using st Elmo’s

[bold tiger]

also not accounting you have full chance on watch or 1k+ shd level ceska would be ideal until you're up there

[west wren]

true²

[elder snow]

I think ceska is the way then

[bold tiger]

even more so Ceska as you can't change the mods on elmo's so you're stuck with needing ceska and/or coyote's mask

[plush cedar]

Weird, the first opt of every piece is always a smaller percentage than the next, maybe that's what happened?

[bold tiger]

yes, when you optimize the first can be a tiny spotch, then it jumps up in higher say like 1/4 until you maximized it

i don't know how much they go up, could be in 5's or even 6's? never really counted it

[north compass]

how do we check damage numbers and stats after retaliation ?

[west wren]

i knew something was missing from retaliation...

[bold tiger]

on pc there's usually a small window to hold Y or Z
wait, it's not there?

[west wren]

yeah, i don't ever recall it popping up with anything, tbf

then again, i play limbus so i can't read lol

[bold tiger]

well, we're on limited time too so maybe it wouldn't be a great idea to check that at the end anyways 😹 imagine how much loot you lose while you're obsessed over how much damage you did compared to others 😹

in case you decide to run in to loot the boxes in the control points

[west wren]

tbf, depending on your time, i believe it's best to leave the control points loot room since they'll be lootable after the retaliation is finished

[bold tiger]

yeah, but the control point loot room would be based on the world at that point, not your targeted loot

[elder snow]

The thing with ceska is, I don’t need the crit chance so wouldn’t grupo or something be better for me?

[west wren]

yes, i was about to mention that, hehe.
got caught up working lol

so that in mind, i am more leaned on the idea of looting but sometimes i just don't see the point. the unicorn im looking for just doesn't wanna show it's beautiful face

i just get it's ugly, still usable friends

quite literally a needle among threads of hay im digging for

[bold tiger]

i know that feeling, i got a 3pc Palisade i'm hunting for 2 pieces with chance, damage and the chest with glass cannon 😹

[west wren]

i mean my luck has been quite good but in all the other ways

always happy to welcome MORE max crit mods in my life but holy hell, can i PLEASE get a 10% pulse res already lmaoo

[outer mountain]

at what point am I ready to run Legendary right now im shd500 with the pestilence cc build

[slim elk]

you can do Legendary anytime you want, you just need to be patient with yourself, practice a lot and study NPC behavior a bit better

what's your build?

[slim elk]

do you prestack CoCo?

[outer mountain]

No

[slim elk]

you gotta if you're solo

go to the Range and prestack it, just fast travel to the stronghold after that

[west wren]

damn! 22 expertise at 500? cracking job!

[outer mountain]

I was doing 16 hour shifts during the 3x xp week lol

[west wren]

fair enough haha!

[deep ingot]

im 1900, 30 expertise with fully capped builds and people still kick me without checking my gear in seconds of joining, its quite the experience.

[west wren]

happens, mate :/
people are strange

[paper hill]

i’m only 475 and got all the legendary strongholds done yesterday first time playing just need to be lucky with matchmaking tbh

does anyone have any clue on when the next proficiency events going to be?

[left ravine]

If it't not in the Event Timeline in-game, we don't know either

[abstract canyon]

is there any way to speed up the expertise grinding?

[daring ocean]

do crafted high end gears usually have bad stats?

[left ravine]

Yes

The quality of rolls ranges from normal to heroic and on average they're bad

It's meant to be a material sink

[daring ocean]

for real

[earnest birch]

what is blackout pulse? thank you

[shy surge]

how do I get up there??

[left ravine]

You don't. It's a one way drop down

Gotta find another way

[outer mountain]

thanks for inspiring confidence I did like an hour of practice solo and then matchmade and finished

[cloud harness]

Is challenging worth farming on the overworld?

[slim elk]

for what?

[cloud harness]

Uh gear xp retalations?

What ever yall farm it for

[slim elk]

I mean if you dont feel comfortable doing Heroic content then yes

[amber snow]

I don't need to max the attributes to prototype anymore right?

[pseudo tundra]

dont need to do that anymore

[toxic light]

Just gotta get that item to expertise 30 to be able to upgrade it to proto

[slim elk]

@weary wedge whatchu doin

[weary wedge]

Existing

tryna level some more expertise because idk what else to do with my boring life

[slim elk]

make tons of useful builds

[weary wedge]

I could but I've alr spent a week grinding out my PVP build and I wanted to... do things

Only time me and RNG get along is when it comes to crafting.

[ivory stratus]

anyone got any ideas on what to do at the end of escal and an invis detonator wont blow up are we just screwed?

[blazing ruin]

💀 i am using striker + big alejendro + perfect obliterate + overdog

i feel big alejendro crit chance not hit as much dmg as Head Dmg (both max), i have 60% crit and 100% crit dmg

[glossy drum]

Check to see if bluescreen works instead. It's also great in LMG builds.

[bleak oracle]

Healer swap to oxidizer

We had it, I swapped, no problem

[glossy drum]

Oxidiser on high skill build would do it for sure.

[cold kindle]

LF help Paradise final boss /join Rasier0713

[fluid mountain]

Am I ready for Dawn's Early Light guys ?

[slim elk]

idk about EB being there

[regal prawn]

It's best one to use that build st. Elmos and the Lexington

[fluid mountain]

Favourite gun + higher base damage than elmo's + Tenacity ❤️

[fluid mountain]

sigh alright

[slim elk]

don't use Elmo's, use a HE AR instead

[regal prawn]

Elmos and the lefty is good too

[slim elk]

not generally

[fluid mountain]

Lefty is useless, 0 value talent, you mean the Rock n roll dont you ?

[slim elk]

well not useless but only useful in certain situations

[fluid mountain]

I prefer the mp, gives fire rate and damage on switch

[slim elk]

having two weapons of the same type isn't great

[fluid mountain]

Unless with tinkerer

[regal prawn]

But it's good for damage though

[slim elk]

Elmo's doesn't have a dmg talent, careful

[fluid mountain]

Just ... reload your main gun ?

[regal prawn]

Ok

[fluid mountain]

I like the survivability of EB thats why I prefer it over elmo's, I dont have a lexington and killer isn't that viable for harder content as in escalation/raid

In my opinion

[slim elk]

you're right in the last part but there are better weapon talents and builds for survivability purposes

[fluid mountain]

Its just a little added survivability to run on striker without missing out too much

[slim elk]

ever tried Memento?

[fluid mountain]

Im trying out heartbreaker w memento and a killer m4 rn, yes I've tried it

[coarse geyser]

is it possible to craft exotics in div2?

[slim elk]

use Strikers instead of HB

[fluid mountain]

Yes with blueprints from retaliations

[regal prawn]

Yes if you have the blueprint

[fluid mountain]

Im litteraly doing that dude, im building a techtank 🥀

As backup

[coarse geyser]

i have the blueprint for the blue screen but its no letting me craft it

do i need to upgrade the bench?

[slim elk]

is it High End already?
do you have enough materials?

[coarse geyser]

yes, its high end

[fluid mountain]

Yes to level 40, you need the actual blueprint btw not recalibration if you have that

[slim elk]

Reconfigure and Crafting blueprints are totally different things

[regal prawn]

@coarse geyser do you have the bluescreen with you in your inventory

[coarse geyser]

i dont

[slim elk]

that's for reconfiguration...

[coarse geyser]

can it be because im on other player´s match?

[regal prawn]

I know I'm just asking if he has with him

[fluid mountain]

Are you at the reconfiguration tab in the bench under weapons?

[slim elk]

Look in your crafting station for Exotics category, then check if you have Bluescreen's crafting blueprint, if you don't then you are confusing it for Reconfiguration.

[fluid mountain]

If yes thats not the "crafting" blueprint, its the "reroll stats" blueprint

[fluid mountain]

Which is better in practice coyote's or overdogs ?

[hollow reef]

Overdogs for Solo, Coyote for teamplay.

[pseudo kindle]

So I need a new agent to do the rest of the sidequests?

[fluid mountain]

Damage wise overdogs give me around 300k more as coyotes within 15m ... coyotes is going in the stash

[hollow reef]

Suit yourself.

[fickle ember]

Does event deadeye overdrive work in escalation?

[hollow reef]

Anywhere.

[coarse geyser]

for some reason even if i already completed the legacy manhunt for the drop i cant craft it

[cloud harness]

I die easy on challenging also lol

[slim elk]

big Al is not a Manhunt exotic

[cloud harness]

So i dunno what to farm on lol

[coarse geyser]

Its the bluescreen the one im targeting mb

[slim elk]

that one is in the general loot pool, its not locked to anything

[cloud harness]

How do o get optizmiztion mats

[steady sparrow]

Is there any way to turn off the slower sensitivity when ur running on PC

[left ravine]

Wdym by that?

[bleak oracle]

you can change your look sensitivity seperately from aim sensetivity if thats your question

[sour mortar]

@placid pier

They tried, cuz people asked. So it came to this conclusion

[placid pier]

Tldr: spaghetti code

[steady sparrow]

I have both my look sensitivity and aim sensitivity equalized, what I'm saying is that my sensitivity when sprinting feels slower than when I'm walking/in place

[sour mortar]

Ehhh. I mean, it’s easier to be safe than sorry. Rewriting code for the entire thing, for any game. Not only div2. Is a very high risk

Also a lot of work/time to do so

[lucid axle]

are there any 9mm muzzles that give it crit chance?

[sour mortar]

For smg?

[left ravine]

Increase "mouse sensitivity"

[lucid axle]

yeah

[steady sparrow]

Osprey 9 suppressor right?

[sour mortar]

Tbh. I run chd attachments on smgs. Chc if needed from gear mod/set bonus. Smgs have a 21% ish chc already off rip, plus watch chc

[lucid axle]

oh, thank you

[sour mortar]

It does have a chc muzzle, yes

If you have high chc with the smg of 55-60% rest of attachments goes to chd.

[lucid axle]

ok

[slim elk]

@smoky gulch I use this for PvE

[unkempt solar]

can you farm the chillout mask right now?

[slim elk]

not without houndsman bounties

[unkempt solar]

What the f is this weapon, Kelso?

Man, it's so weird how my PC freaking freezes when I alt tab.

[rugged stratus]

#lfg-pc

[blazing ruin]

🥹 .. solo .. and get 4 prototype drop in T7 ... but i had to say .. prototype drop is trash

not even 50% stat

[cloud topaz]

I'm so confused. I killed ||Theo Parnell|| in warlords of ny and now ||he's alive in battle for brooklyn||

[strange harbor]

The NY mission was a psyop

[hollow reef]

#division-universe

[blazing ruin]

how i get these? which side mission

[steep void]

u needed to do the manhunts before that to understand

[atomic barn]

what the different between retaliation at 100% vs 300%?

[slim elk]

each 100% is one stacked retaliation

[atomic barn]

just stacked? no increase reward or difficulty?

[slim elk]

I think chances for BT9 kill squads to spawn are higher

[blazing ruin]

i got many BT9 but what is the benefit kill them compare to other kill square

[hollow reef]

No

[junior lark]

New player here. Anyone know the best way to farm exotics?

[nimble spruce]

Unfortunately yes, that's the only way for most of them. Can maybe just find video walkthroughs if you only want to see what happens in them

[atomic barn]

you get exotic blueprints

[worldly fjord]

You get exotic blueprints from every kill squad. The only exclusive thing about team 9 is just five audio comms

[atomic barn]

oh

does coyote always have chc and chd?

[slim elk]

any exotic gear has fixed attributes except Investor

[obsidian hill]

@junior lark what level are you

[hollow reef]

Priority objective

[obsidian hill]

If low level don't rush straight for exotics enjoy the game they will come naturally here and there the early game is the best

[junior lark]

I'm level 40 SHD level 92

[obsidian hill]

But countdown, summit and retaliations are the best way set targeted loot to whatever type of exotic you want you can use countdown credits to buy exotic cashes or broken watches and the materials from retaliations to craft nyc kill sqaud cashes at the crafting bench to get a blueprint

[atomic barn]

how to make the target in shooting range unlimited hp?

[hollow reef]

press the button on your left

Keep pressing until it changes to invulnerable

[atomic barn]

oh i thought it was only till veteran thanks

do you guys optimize exo gear or just keep re roll?

[slim elk]

optimize if theyre high enough

[zenith torrent]

Hi just got to level 40 recently and am following a guide that recommended to

1. do summit till floor 15 to get a striker set and a decent AR
2. then to do countdown

as a beginner to the endgame whats a good difficulty to start with and since my build isnt well optimized whats a good way of supporting the team beyond damage?

[atomic barn]

i do countdown on challenging, the other 7 will handle the damage, i just need to survive

[hollow reef]

Challenging difficulty for countdown.

People might kick you for being low level if you enter Heroic but if you dont mind you could just keep looking until you find one. Personally I dont care about level, just try not to use drone and turret against Hunters.

[blazing ruin]

i only use retaliation to farm my gear haha

cuz in asia server ... countdown so many mean people. even watch 200 they not allow to join

[vital nest]

Not sure where to ask this but does anybody know what shepherd rank really does? Google doesn’t help with how old the game is i get mixed answers. Cant find anywhere the rank up rewards in game

[blazing ruin]

💀 .. i dont understand why my Gear Bag has closed to 40/100 while my Skill Attachment: only 2 used
and Gear System only 3 used.

[vital nest]

You receive mods for skills you haven’t unlocked yet, and only way to see them is go to sell

4 of them being from new york and one from Brooklyn

[blazing ruin]

tha pay wal? trap and decoy?

[fickle ravine]

iirc it just gives you a patch at i think rank 20, some other apparel pieces, and a number on your nameplate

[vital nest]

Trap, sticky bomb, decoy and from Brooklyn the uhhh cover something i forgot

[vital nest]

Sounds like something to do once and never again, thanks

[fickle ravine]

smart cover

[blazing ruin]

thank thank .,.. time to sell them off

[vital nest]

Yeah might as well. Don’t understand why people who don’t own them get them 🤣

[fickle ravine]

responding to backup used to give you a caretaker named AR (enhanced G36 w/ perfect killer) at some point, dunno what was the requirement but not like it matters since that event ended and you can't get caretaker anymore

only way you can get caretaker now is from stretch goals caches or christmas, it's basically in the same category as the lexington

[blazing ruin]

if it is ubisoft ... it means to force us to buy DLC

[vital nest]

You are right

[vital nest]

Is the best way to increase it to just leave after you get endorsed and look for another game btw?

[fickle ravine]

technically yes

[zenith torrent]

Im on asia too 😭 Ill be trying countdown later hopefully they are fine with it

[zenith torrent]

Ohh noted thx! Should I focus on heals and self-revive then with a skill build then?

[hollow reef]

Instant use skill and reviver hive for yourself.

[blazing ruin]

💀 me after deconstruct my exo cuz i always save them LOL

[hollow reef]

Right, I'd wait double material gain deconstruct if I were you.

But I don't think it'll come anytime soon.

[blazing ruin]

yeah i saw but i am in need them to try craft new exo

[hollow reef]

Sure thing.

[vital nest]

The amount of chameleons catching dust in my stash waiting for it

[nocturne siren]

Anyone know if division resurgence rewards are still available?

[stuck iris]

Hey everyone, throwing this out there, is there anyone who is using Crossover on Mac that could help me set it up please? I got the game on steam with all the DLCs but I can't play it unfortunately

[nocturne siren]

Wouldn't steam proton work better in this case?

[rose abyss]

Is the best way to farm equalizer from the hunters from countdown?

Does it like weigh the named item?

[stuck iris]

it's for Mac?

[nocturne siren]

Considering mac also uses Linux stuff, I'd assume so. Just have to check under compatibility on steam

Mac is kinda the black sheep in the tech world since they try to be so different they hold themselves back

[hearty sparrow]

Should I cash in on an all yellow Investor mask? Does it improve any of the best skill builds or is it just a meme piece?

[strange harbor]

5% more status effect than electrique iirc

[pseudo kindle]

I'm just worried about the xp to get to lvl 40 now since I can't do the side missions from before

[robust fog]

Wheres the weak spot for the turret on tank treads?

[hollow reef]

The Black Tusk mini tank? Yea the treads are the weakspot. Wont be able to move if one of them is destroyed.

[robust fog]

Ah yea those, thanks. For the elite version, its also the same right?

[hollow reef]

Yeh, different tier just makes them move faster.

The fastest they can go is in Legendary difficulty, looks funny when it runs away.

[robust fog]

ah ok thanks

[hollow reef]

You know if you kill the controller, the mini-tank will self destruct?

[remote elbow]

doesnt it still stand around shooting their own people until everyone is dead or am I thinking of the turrets?

[hollow reef]

You're thinking of Hyena and True Sons turrets.

The unique named mini-tank that appears as part of BTSU Team 9 kill squad, wont self destruct when the controller is killed.

[mellow trout]

Mini tanks don't explode when their operator dies in general

They just stop moving

[hollow reef]

Im pretty sure they self destruct after sometime.

[mellow trout]

Only when you kill everything else

[lofty arrow]

What are the chances of getting overdogs Bp from hyena retal

[robust fog]

Oh? this also works for elites?

[hollow reef]

Yep

[robust fog]

damn... ok, i killed the tank first lol. thanks for that

[hollow reef]

Eh its alright, if you destroy the treads, the controller will try to fix it.

[mellow trout]

^

[hollow reef]

ah ok

[mellow trout]

50 percent to get a blueprint from that pool on heroic, divided by how many are in the pool

[lofty arrow]

Where do I see the pool

[mellow trout]

So you have a 50 percent chance to get any one of those 5 one of which is the overdogs

But there's no dupes so you'll get it eventually if you play a few

[hollow reef]

Wheres Catalyst?

[mellow trout]

It's a Brooklyn exclusive

[hollow reef]

bummer

[lofty arrow]

10% chance at the start and it slowly increases to 50% the more blueprints I get?

[lofty arrow]

This is great info I feel like a thousand elephants have been lifted off my stomach

[mellow trout]

More or less

[lofty arrow]

300% retal just means doing 3 of the same faction retal back to back right

[hollow reef]

yes

[nimble spruce]

Xp isn't so bad, you'll get plenty from the Warlords story and the other new off-site missions like Pentagon, Manning Zoo etc

[ivory stratus]

what do yall reckon my first expertise 30 thing should be? so far current ideas are: overdogs, pesti, elmos, the sacrifice or equalizer

[hollow reef]

didnt someone tell you to get PC role first so you can access PC player LFG channel?

[lone haven]

Been a while since I raided, does nd still transfer to boomer?

[late nimbus]

I hate myself, I activated the level 40 boost out of curiosity when my main character was already 38, I'm someone who enjoys playing the story mode of games, so am I just completed done with all the side missions and Main missions?, no other way to do them again aside from on a new character?

[left ravine]

I think so. Also you'd be unable to get certain recommendations or something

[dapper root]

@left ravine Can I get the chart with the enemies hp increase per player

[left ravine]

[dense glen]

Returning player and kinda lost as where to find the skill points needed to unlock the NY stuff, completed all the main missions and tried searching for shd caches but some of them I can't interact with,

[paper basalt]

been doing the scout missions, do I just spam the hell out of public execution missions to save the informant that has info of the draugr?

[odd notch]

Need help why tinkerer is not showing and its already 4/4 but my friend has it

Finally

[knotty ruin]

Hi all new player looking for help to get quick step pistol

[livid violet]

Can someone help him with getting the quickstep pistol on PS5? I would help but I’m on PC

[dapper root]

#lfg-playstation

[knotty ruin]

Boppa-4

[gaunt quiver]

finally 1000 after 5 years of an on and off relationship

[left ravine]

That's better than Yannick, I think he's still not 1k

[desert furnace]

Is there something up with Ridgeway's Pride project? I can't increase the named Rikers and named Cleaners count no matter how many bounties and lvl 4 control poitns I do/

[stable summit]

can anyone tell me what i have to do to complete that objektive i dont get it

[left ravine]

Possibly related to the Retaliations bug. Shandong or finish any open Retaliations if you have

[wanton mauve]

make sure you don't have Hyena retaliation on rn

Or hell, abandon every single retaliation.

[alpine sedge]

i have a schema for crafting the bighorn is it a big deal ?

[left ravine]

The blueprint is not a big deal. If you play PvP it's great for that

[wanton mauve]

Trying to get an actual weapon from the summit might hurt you physically the materials can be obtainable in no time.

[pseudo tundra]

Hearing how hard is to do one of the easiest grinds sure is something

[full granite]

@trim kraken yes yes

[north compass]

guys,,how do we check our kills and damage after each retaliation ?

[wispy merlin]

you don't

[grim pumice]

i had a doubt
did they remove the thing where if i finished the WONY campaign on my alt character i would get those SHD watch points on my main character

[knotty fiber]

Hey, my friends and I just bought the brooklyn dlc and we cant seem to access it, the pilot just redirects us to the shop where it says owned. Enyone know a way to solve this?

[eager kindle]

Fellas Returning Player here but Basically new to the post game content. When farming for gear sets/weapons, is it generally advised to raise the difficulty AND add the directives for increased loot quality or do you only benefit from raised difficulty?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[pseudo tundra]

difficulty for quality, directives for quantity, countdown just drops so much gear that it has become the default way to farm pieces

[grim pumice]

ahh sad

[eager kindle]

I did hear about countdown and i think Retaliation? Im still getting my bearings so i havent tried those modes yet. But thank you for the info. Would you say doing the open world control points and missions arent the way to go anymore?

[hollow widget]

instead of deconstructing all my junk what should I do again?

[slim elk]

Library > Expertise > Deconstruct or Sell

[devout mica]

Can anyone help me get the quickstep pistol for a new/returning player?

[hollow widget]

awesome ty ty

I did donate all junk but it did nothing?

nvm it did lol

one more question, I set my countdown to challenging and AR focus. How many runs is it likely to be until I see my first St. Elmos? I've never had one before

[slim elk]

it's rng, can't tell, but at least two

[hollow widget]

ah im on my third so just unlucky but ill get there

I paused my strikers grind shortly for elmos and overdogs

Then I’m trying to copy this

[indigo bison]

Heya people, I'm kinda new to the game (Watch lvl 170/Expertise 4) and struggling with the first part of the incursion thingy, any advice?

[slim elk]

Incursion is meant to be a group activity and not really something that you can solo

[haughty pike]

After collecting 16 Danver Cards, is there anything else I need to do to spawn "Charlie" boss in bridge pier? I've been resetting for a quite a while now, I still have yet to see the boss

[amber snow]

Did we get 50 stash this season? Swear my stash limit was 450 now it's 500

[indigo bison]

Oh- that explains it xd thanks!!

[cedar schooner]

They gave an extra 50 stash space from the anniversary pass. If you bought it. Otherwise it may be a visual bug that eats your items

[hasty sentinel]

got my first ever prototype drop!

[indigo wraith]

in your guys opinion what is the best high end ar non named

[hasty sentinel]

either police m4 or famas but i just like fast fire rates

[dim pewter]

Police M4, CTAR, Famas, P416 are all decent

[cedar schooner]

Carbine 7 and honey badger additionally.

[amber snow]

Didn't buy it

[indigo wraith]

yeah seems like the general answer is carbine 7 was just making sure

i miss the g36 meta ngl

[cedar schooner]

I wouldn't recommend it over Police M4 IMO, but they're all pretty close, just find what you like

[cedar schooner]

Its all right too, but the handling sucks

[indigo wraith]

yeah it used to be one of the best guns in the game in d1 or early d2 idk it all blends together at this point

[eager kindle]

how good is it?

[pseudo tundra]

honestly very few weapon choices are bad if you just choose to use an AR

[hasty sentinel]

kinda buns but im stashing it

[eager kindle]

oof

[upbeat steppe]

does anyone have the exotic vindecator reconfi bp?

[ivory stratus]

what should i make expertise 30 first yall reckon?

[upbeat steppe]

the main weapon you use

[left ravine]

Depends on your build but usually weapons over gear

[ivory stratus]

i use a few

main contenders: elmo, pesti, overdogs, equalizer and sacrifice

[left ravine]

Can't prototype exotics so I'd go with high end and named items first

Thinking of the next step

[ivory stratus]

wasnt for prototype

but yea i know

[ivory stratus]

so equal or sacrifice?

or just do the same as everyone and do striker set first lolll

[indigo wraith]

do we know if dz will be crossplay when it comes out bc im so bored server hopping between 15 different empty lobbies man

[left ravine]

For instance. Don't you use any high end weapons?

[ivory stratus]

i mean i use police m4 but thats only until lexington other than that not often no

[left ravine]

Apparently it's optional for console players but generally PvP will have crossplay to AFAIK

[indigo wraith]

afaik?

[ivory stratus]

well and acs but only to build stacks

[left ravine]

Upgrade the Police M4, believe me

[ivory stratus]

even if lexington might be out soon?

[left ravine]

Of course

[ivory stratus]

my police has killer on it currently

which is also what i'll want on lexi

[left ravine]

The only difference between a Police M4 and a Lexington is 4% bad weapon damage, so basically nothing. And you'll be able to use the high end weapon with Tinkerer at some point

[ivory stratus]

oh i also use military m60 fir escal

[left ravine]

M60 too slow IMO

[left ravine]

Killer is great on one

[ivory stratus]

should i change the police talent if i want killer on my lexi?

[edgy oxide]

Mf with a comically large belt for his M60.

[indigo wraith]

those bullets are NOT coming out of that gun lmao

[left ravine]

You can leave it but it's your call

[ivory stratus]

hmm

but you think police should be my first 30?

alrighty i suppose

well i'll wait to see if lex is in this event if not i'll do it

[left ravine]

I'd say so. It's still a while anyway until stretch goals might be a thing again. Happens usually end of season

So, plenty time

[ivory stratus]

tlso?

[left ravine]

Typo

[ivory stratus]

gotcha

well tmr we see if lex is in the event i assume on the stream if not i know i'll have weeks till we see it again

[left ravine]

Yeah we shall see

[smoky gulch]

Is the p416 the division 2 version of the hk416

[upbeat steppe]

no

does anyone have the vindicator exotic reconfig bp?

[livid smelt]

what’s the most efficient way to get resources to donate for expertise

[upbeat geode]

anyone know if the houndsman bounties would come back at some point?

[left ravine]

Probably yes

[fervent citrus]

Is the unit alloys set not in the gear rotation? I don't see it anywhere

[ivory stratus]

it is

[fervent citrus]

Where is it?

[ivory stratus]

on the last row of the gear brands its the left one

question if i dont max the attributes of a weapon before prototyping it will they become the max anyway (in terms of base not new max)

[vale token]

correct

[civic junco]

So the Agitator doesn't have a skin slot?

[cloud harness]

So do people leave/kick people from doing the legendary mission

[steep maple]

People almost certainly leave, don't often see kick votes unless it's right at the start of a mission really.

[cloud harness]

Then how am i spossed to do the legendary to get the exotic cashe

[dapper root]

people most often leave instead of getting kicked

@pseudo tundra smite it

[steep maple]

Depends on the players really, most just send the run and if there's any wipes leave and queue again for a new group.

[cloud harness]

Sounds like i anot ever going to do any high end conte t .eh

[dapper root]

just got to get lucky and find a good group, or ask someone here for a carry 🙂

[cloud harness]

Idk yall might also kick me

[steep maple]

I don't kick anyone unless they're being insanely racist or just literally AFKing

[dapper root]

idk about that never been kicked by any fellow here

we all here to help

#lfg-playstation

[gritty steeple]

Oh ok thanks

[civic junco]

Any idea what this is about?

[dapper root]

desync with server so some actions wont work till everything is synced

no action needed

it will self fix

[civic junco]

Yeah I've seen the poor server message just never seen that one before

[dry tendon]

after army terminal is battle for brooklyn done?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[fervent citrus]

Anyone have a good idea on how to get the equalizer chest piece? I've been grinding summit heroic for like 50 floors now and still nothing

[wispy merlin]

do countdown on challenging, target unit alloys brand

[fervent citrus]

I'll give it a shot, thx

[fickle ember]

Can you craft ongoing directive and also what colour core does it come with before changing??

[dapper root]

yes you can craft it, it starts with red cores

[fickle ember]

Ok thank you I don’t see it in crafting bench any thing I gotta do to get it available

[dapper root]

it was available from a pass season if you don't have it you need to either grind for the blueprint from reconstruction caches or target loot farm it

[fickle ember]

Ok cool thank you 😀

[haughty pike]

I rerolled an augment, did I need to accept somewhere? I esc too quickly, and look like it didn't save?

[fickle ember]

I think when you reroll you have an option to keep existing or move to new roll

[haughty pike]

ahh dang, ok thank you

[plush cedar]

I'm torn between Eagle Bearer or Elmo's engine for striker...

Elmo has amazing damage, but Eagle Bearer helps with how squishy striker is.

[slim elk]

have you tried it or are you assuming by what's "on paper"?

[plush cedar]

Tried both

That's why i can't decide.

[slim elk]

in practice EB is mid, you're better off with a HE AR tbh
but you decide, I'd go HE

[plush cedar]

Which one is that?

[slim elk]

high end

[inner tendon]

@hollow reef Did you post that for a reason?

[mild dune]

It was for me.

[hollow reef]

Yeh

He wants to do Wooden Horse raid for the first time.

[fluid mountain]

EB is a great pick

[rancid trail]

Is it possible to get the Salvo BP from somewhere?

[left ravine]

Reconstructed Caches

[rancid trail]

ah okay ty

[left ravine]

@dapper root Just Steam tho, other platform numbers aren't officially available

[dapper root]

Ofc

We at the low peak rn half the playerbase is asleep

[left ravine]

We shall see what happens, so far just a trend

[twilit abyss]

how do u unlock master mode alani kelso ?

[dapper root]

You have to first complete the mission on any difficulty first before its unlocked

[fallen island]

is this a negative damage? I see it first time

[bronze idol]

Did over 2 billion damage so it counts backwards now

[rough trench]

Integer overflow. If you want to know their real damage, just add 2^32 to the number shown in the stat screen.

[somber spoke]

are retals bugged or is that just a really dumb feature? I got killed at a retal cp, with 6 mins left, and the game just ended the retal

Like I def coulda made it back and cleared the thing in 6 mins

[tough marsh]

Dying during the Defending phase will end the Retaliation.

Outside of that, time will just be taken off and you will respawn at the nearest safehouse

[somber spoke]

ok so it's just a dumb feature

[tough marsh]

I guess, until you figure out a way to not die during the Defend phase

[inner tendon]

@somber spoke It's mostly down to practice+build. You'll get better at Retal's, until you're at the point of "farming" them.

The game does tell you that no respawns are allowed during the defend phase.

[somber spoke]

I mean I've done plenty of retals. Im just using random stuff I wanna level up and i was being dumb, thinking I culd respawn since I had 6 mins left

[torpid yarrow]

When upgrading a named weapon to prototype, is it supposed to randomize your attribute as well? I just prototyped a Rock N' Roll that had DTTOOC, but now it has health dmg, and no stat was maxed out 🤔

[obsidian hill]

No log out and back in visual bug

[torpid yarrow]

Awesome, thanks!

[slim elk]

starters guide is looking fantastic, any more suggestions? ||God, please put me out of my misery||

[rough trench]

"Obtaining blueprints" needs to have my guide linked to it.

[slim elk]

I didn't know you had a guide on that 😂

[strange harbor]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQZF6R-PYMsz9UeqCRCktZ3GW05T60Tru_BCU0J4VGSDrsB_ipKCPBNDmeSwOuQ-vigsh8h73d8Kcso/pubhtml

[slim elk]

I'll add it asap

[rough trench]

Is there a link to the new version of the guide somewhere?

[slim elk]

Lvl40 Starters Guide

[rough trench]

Is that the new version of that agitation pic? It doesn't have BT activities.

[slim elk]

would appreciate it if you could share it

[rough trench]

Now, BT have their own Kill Squads called “Black Tusk Team 9” and those are the only ones that can drop Manhunt and Raid crafting blueprints. BT9 Squads will be removed after Y8S1 is over, get the blueprints while you can.

Incorrect.

[slim elk]

now this is what I'm talking about

[rough trench]

CCC.

[strange harbor]

Retaliations (upon Completion and by defeating Kill Squads).
-> Retaliations: upon Completion and by defeating Kill Squads; you can also craft Reconstructed Caches (which grants named item blueprints) from resources earned in Retaliation

[rough trench]

The only thing exclusive to them is five BTSU T9 comms. Blueprints they drop come from the same Kill Squad pool and have the same chances.

[gaunt ember]

Hello everyone.
Does prototype gear tradable? or account bound? came back after long pause. last time played last year i think. Prototype loot color is different or same as high end? does it show on radar?

[strange harbor]

if you get it as loot in escalation together, they are sharable

[slim elk]

fixed

[slim elk]

added, much appreciated

[gaunt ember]

i could not find in game menu Escalation matchmaking, only from main base, near season vendor. or i can't seem to see it? Tried yesterday tier 0 escalation. just same as heroic. and nothing new.

how to upgrade season mechanics? it gave vague explanation. don't know where to go

[slim elk]

added too

[nocturne siren]

Yeah the devs double backed on their words and it was kinda glossed over in the patch notes thanks to prototype

But yeah as dog here mentioned, they're not exclusive. Only the comms are

[slim elk]

I admit it, I shouldn't have read the patch notes on 2 hours of sleep

[nocturne siren]

I don't think many of us here even cared to read the patch notes since we all knew what was coming

[formal idol]

guys can help me im seem to stuck here

[nimble spruce]

Have you destroyed all the boats? There's one each side of you that you can just shoot, and a bigger one behind you where you gave to blow the two red tank things in front and back of boat. The exit is ahead of you at top, on the right side. Might be an enemy stuck in a spawn closet or something, pulse can help find them

[formal idol]

yeah did everything

i see no enemies in the minimap ,and i used the drone to locate , did roam the whole sector but seem to not work

[nimble spruce]

Might have to down yourself with a grenade or something to reset to your previous checkpoint

[dusty wolf]

how exactly does expertise work i feel dumb, do you just research every piece of gear and that bumps your level up?

[slim elk]

Lvl40 Starters Guide
read the Expertise category from here

[dusty wolf]

pins?

[slim elk]

the guide i sent

[dusty wolf]

oh i’m blind there it is

so yeah you just donate everything then

[formal idol]

thanks it works

[stable summit]

the main reason to play the ravenous is for the armor dmg isnt it?

[jovial wind]

Currently I have this BT retal without any other number. I've seen people say 300% and 100% thrown around, what's that for? Do I need more number in the middle of the retal circle?

[boreal lintel]

Any idea where to go from here, 4 days in

[jovial wind]

you could maybe farm more, if that's a dps you can ramp the crit numbers up even more

[boreal lintel]

Bro I can’t find good gear mods for the life of me

And I’m not sure abt what 2 piece goes perfect w striker

[jovial wind]

that's what retal and countdown for 🙂 don't worry I also struggle for good mods

[jovial wind]

this is mine, pretty general purpose dps from YT videos. The body is the Equalizer. If not that, I would go for Fenris (AR), Sokolov (SMG), or Petrov (LMG)

[boreal lintel]

Is it better to have high end chest instead of anything else?

[rough trench]

Yeah, Equalizer is the best in slot for Obli Striker.

[jovial wind]

tbh, for me at least, I don't like Striker chest since we rarely get to 100 stack, much less 200

[jovial wind]

btw, my question about retal. Do I need to rapid farm more while retal countdown is active before I use them?

[nocturne siren]

I believe so yes

[hollow reef]

Awh thats a good one

[jovial wind]

So I need like 1/2/3 in the middle of the circle to maximise retal efficiency?

[hollow reef]

level 40 starter guide

How the hell did you end up with a Prototype weapon while being level 66 SHD.

[nimble spruce]

If you want to run up to three in a row without a break then yes, but that's up to you

[obsidian hill]

You can after level 40 in escalations

[jovial wind]

I see, good to know. I'll get more before LFG

thank you

[hollow reef]

Probably got very lucky drop while doing lower tier escalation yeah.

[obsidian hill]

Ye most likely me not so lucky so I break them down

[jovial wind]

say... what's escalation? I just returned to this game yesterday after a year and a half

[hollow reef]

Endgame mode where the enemies are even more spongy than they currently are.

[nimble spruce]

#news-and-announcements message
More details in this season's patch notes ^

[jovial wind]

I found it on the menu, ty

[jovial wind]

Thanks you again mod 🙂

[nocturne siren]

Kettle always has the Tea on all things Division 💯

[formal idol]

when do build gets serious ? after lvl 30 or 40?

[hollow reef]

40

[hollow reef]

level 40 starter guide

[formal idol]

thanks

[formal idol]

so before level 40, i can just put in any stuff i like? and with the highest stats?

[hollow reef]

yeh

[formal idol]

alright thanks

[hollow reef]

Striker's Battlegear is for every single mode the game has to offer. Thats why everyone should at least have one.

Is Lefty the only ACS-12 shotgun that has 3 mod slots?

[remote elbow]

Looks like it

[formal idol]

whats a strikers battlegear, is it like a set?

[hollow reef]

Gearset yeah.

Now dont get confused between Gearset and Brandset.

[formal idol]

whats a brandset

[hollow reef]

Gearset bonus starts taking effect when you're wearing 2 pieces. You need at least 4 to activate its base talent. Gearset talents are fixed and cannot change.

Brandset bonus starts taking effect when you're wearing a piece. Brandset only has maximum 3 bonus effects. Brandset talents can be changed and they appear on Chest and Backpack pieces.

Oh right, forgot to mention you shouldnt be wearing more than 4 pieces of Gearset. Because theres no further bonus to be added by wearing more.

[formal idol]

wow thanks

gearset is a tier right

[hollow reef]

Gearset chest and backpack pieces grants additional talent but yes, they're fixed and mainly to enhance their base talent.

[hollow reef]

Eh different rarity.

[formal idol]

i see

[hollow reef]

I dont remember the rarity names for brandset but the best one is High-End.

Gearset is just a different rarity but still on the same level with High-End brandset.

On top of both gearset and High-End brandset is Prototype, newest rarity introduced few weeks ago. Both brandset and gearset can be upgraded into Prototype rarity. Which has higher max stats.

[formal idol]

but i shouldnt be worry before lvl 40 right? anyways u helped me alot by those infos , kudos

[hollow reef]

Yep, take it easy for now. Cuz the real grind starts when you reach level 40.

[formal idol]

alright thank u very much

[boreal lintel]

I have abt 10 prototypes so far

[hollow reef]

lucky you

[ornate hornet]

whats the targeted loot selector if i want to farm for overdogs, gloves?

[hollow reef]

Yeh

[blazing ruin]

just add a bit ... make sure use 4 gear for set effect but also choose the gear in that 4 set that come with extra bonus/boost to talent. example: in striket set ..

• Backpack Talent: Risk Management
  Increases total weapon damage per stack from Striker's Gamble from 0.65% to 0.9%
• Chest Talent: Press the Advantage
  Increases max stacks of Striker's Gamble from 100 to 200. 3 stacks lost per second between 101 and 200 stacks.

[dapper root]

.65 to .90

[sour mortar]

BP worth using, chest…. Not so much

[fickle ravine]

1% is like the old value it got nerfed

[blazing ruin]

copy paste forget the change 🤣

[winter elk]

what tiers of escalations are the same/closest to heroic/legendary, does anyone know?

[hazy tendon]

I'm a returning player and just crafted the capacitor and I noticed that all it's stats were maxed out. This is my first crafted exotic and it got me wondering of crafted exotics always drop with maxed out stats. Was going to craft a few more exotics I have materials but thought I'd ask first in case I just got lucky. So are crafted exotics always maxed?

[dapper root]

I think tier 3 or 4

[dapper root]

No you were just lucky

[bold fulcrum]

how do i get the prototype gear here

[dapper root]

Play escalation or get a gear to level 30 expertise and upgrade it to prototype by using a prototype core

[bold fulcrum]

level 30 expertise? holy hell im 20 levels behind there

[dapper root]

Gl

[bold fulcrum]

ill just take the escalation since it's just the normal missions here that i play on heroic

[winter elk]

wait until a triple expertise event, there was one last week, not sure how long the gap between them is tho

[robust fog]

Question, for brand sets like Unit Alloys/Ceska, it says a set of 3. But do those sets drop in any slot?

[dapper root]

Yes

[winter elk]

yes it just means you need 3 in any slot to get the max bonus

[robust fog]

And is there a site/doc that shows all loot and stats? the wiki isnt very good ><

[winter elk]

its pinned in the build advice channel 1 below this

[dapper root]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nrPBmOrtpkEW1j5fbcRT7L-AXgsGOqMqxXoVtopsiGM/edit?usp=sharing

[robust fog]

Cheers for the info ❤️

[austere wren]

is there any point in keeping copies of exotic? i know the 3rd stat is different so just look for good ones or is there a pinned for exotics to keep / rest to dismantle or donate

[dapper root]

Not really unless you want it with different stats to play 2 different load out with the same gun

[hollow reef]

I'm hoarding exotics for the double material gain event.

[austere wren]

oh then i will save it til then thanks

[austere wren]

thats the thing i have a capacitor with 9%chd and the other with stability and so on

3 ninja bags

[dapper root]

I would just scrap them for exotic components imo

[austere wren]

yeah but if theres double material gain then save it

[dapper root]

I would yes

[blazing ruin]

holy ... first time i saw max stat (almost like this from prototype drop)

[dapper root]

did you relog?

[blazing ruin]

no .. this is pure drop just now in escalation ... (u mean reroll?)

[dapper root]

oh then nvm

[bold fulcrum]

so which bundle do i buy to get access to tghe classified assignments?

[dapper root]

the new one or old one?

[bold fulcrum]

i already have the yer 1 assignments, just5 the new ones

[dapper root]

you can either buy the 30 usd for both of the new assignment or use premium credit to buy them stand-alone

[bold fulcrum]

isn't there also a 50 usd one too ?

[dapper root]

yes

[bold fulcrum]

and what does the 50 usd one give?

[dapper root]

uhh i dont remember

[inner tendon]

5000 premium credits and everything else the slightly cheaper one does..

[bold fulcrum]

so it's just the 30 usd version but it gives you 5k credits here

which is like 5 season passes owrth

[dapper root]

ngl the 30 usd is the best deal imo

[dry tendon]

does anyone know how to get to this bottom corner to the east of the bridge settlement? im at 99% fog of war and i think thats the last 1%

[bold fulcrum]

well i guess ill save up till then cause i actually might be the first pass i buy just for the classifdied assignments

[bold fulcrum]

try and run around it till it counts it

[dry tendon]

theres a bus that blocks the gate over there since its not part of a main road. i dont even know if thats the 1% i need or not

[dapper root]

most likely not

[junior zephyr]

anyone facing a bug with unable to interact with the gear stash from territory control ? or the countermeasures in countdown

[dry tendon]

great

[austere wren]

i just did tidal basin on heroic and got 0% retal on BT?

shouldn't it increase ?

[sour mortar]

I can’t wait even longer

[inner tendon]

You can only rank up 1 Retal to "red" at a time.
finish/fail/cancel the other one, then try again.

[austere wren]

crap 🙁

[tiny flint]

hey guys how do I get regular gear bps and named items bps consistently ?

[tiny flint]

oh shit when ?

[inner tendon]

April 21st - May 12th.

[sour mortar]

^ 3 weeks long

[tiny flint]

so well be able to get hte lexington before season stretch?

[spare girder]

Yes

[dapper root]

yes this event will allow you to get the lexington

[tiny flint]

thats based af

am I losing new keys or they get added ?

[inner tendon]

The image caps out at 99, you keep gaining them.

[tiny flint]

beautiful thx

[formal idol]

what do i do now ? the main quest is too far away from my lvl , do i finish all control point , side missions until lvl 28?

[dapper root]

Side mission and control points

[formal idol]

alright thanks

[nimble spruce]

District Union arena (hyena stronghold) is lvl 26 iirc, that would be the next option

[formal idol]

alirght thanks , im still 24lvl rn

[dapper root]

Kettle ima boil some water in you

[cloud topaz]

Double optimization materials, is that the time to dismantle your extra exotics?

[dapper root]

I would yes

[cloud topaz]

I have so many extras, I saved every exotic

Usually there is one with some max rolls and then the rest all have bad rolls

You can't recalibrate exotics?

So I should just keep the best one judging them as they are now

[dapper root]

No you can reconfigure (reroll stats)

[cloud topaz]

I thought you had to craft a new one

I thought there was some kind of limitation

[dapper root]

It's takes your old one into the crafting

[cloud topaz]

It just rerolls all the stats?

[dapper root]

Yes all of them

[cloud topaz]

So if you were going to reoll it, it doesn't matter which one you keep.

[dapper root]

Nope

[cloud topaz]

I'll just try to keep the best ones. I can't always judge so I'm a bit anxious about saving the best one

But I'm sure I'll figure it out

[dapper root]

The best one is one with damage to target out of cover, for lmgs you want crit damage or crit chance. Gear exotics can't change there preset attributes

[cloud topaz]

I'll just have to make a judgment on each one. When it's not obvious

Mostly it's obvious. All low rolls

That's going to free up a lot of my stash space

[velvet holly]

Is paradox supposed to work with chem launcher? Unlimited oxidizer unlimited foam

[formal idol]

what skills would u guys recommend for solo run?

[left ravine]

Depends on your build mostly, also your playstyle and what activity

[formal idol]

where can i access this?

[formal idol]

i see, what would u recommend for beginners?

[weak finch]

can i reroll the core of an item that has been upgraded to prototype? like changing it from skill tier to weapon damage?

[left ravine]

Depends on how much of a beginner. Drone and reviver hive maybe

[dapper root]

I can alway recommend an reviver hiver

[pseudo tundra]

not that we know

[formal idol]

thanks both of you
