[magic sandal]

u the goat

[bright trail]

this is just great. thank you !

[somber spoke]

Insane

[lament beacon]

Help! It started acting like this after the update. I was playing fine yesterday.

[buoyant narwhal]

okay guys this is my first time on for the event where should i go to start looking for keys since the farm got fixed

[echo sapphire]

try puting it in windowed fullscreen

[shadow isle]

goddam the delta-3s...every 10 min or so

[magic sandal]

lower mouse pulling rate.

I was at 8k and it happend lowered it 1k and its been fine.

[left ravine]

Depends on mouse manufacturer. 500 is fine for me personally

[magic sandal]

That's part of it but its also your hardware.

[lament beacon]

I've already ruled that out. Yesterday I was playing just fine, today I want to play, it updates, but with the server problems it wouldn't connect and now it's like this.

[left ravine]

Couple months ago when it happened first to many players updating your GPU drivers helped lol

Could crank up the polling rate again

[fickle ember]

Is there a resource available to see which and what order the global modifiers need to be put in for what effect?

[mental terrace]

Google

[fickle ember]

I have only bing

[cloud harness]

I cant kill the seasonal mobs

[mental terrace]

skill issue

[cloud harness]

So should i dropnit to normal

[hearty sparrow]

Yes

[cloud harness]

Do i still get keys

[hearty sparrow]

Probably at a lower rate, but higher than if you can't kill them

[left ravine]

Sorry, they're out of keys

[cloud harness]

So i shouldnt bother with the event eitherl. (Btw i couldnt get em on nornal either

[left ravine]

I was joking. The higher the world difficulty, the higher the drop chances

[cloud harness]

They clapped me on normal anyways so whats the point

[left ravine]

If you want loot you'll find a way to beat them. Group up, maybe

[cloud harness]

Dont trust people. Been kicked a lot

[left ravine]

Again, if you want the loot you'll have to find a way to defeat them. You can use the #lfg-playstation channel too if you dislike random mm in-game

[glass talon]

how we feeling about first bloom. bad? meh? or good?

[left ravine]

How do you feel about it?

[cloud harness]

Honearly id prob get kicked from people in this discord also

[glass talon]

dun feel terrible tbh but def not as god as frenzy lmg imo

[left ravine]

Give it a try. Don't be shy

[hearty sparrow]

I like it, will try in escalation when I finish prototyping it

[left ravine]

That's not really a fair comparison lmao

[glass talon]

true im still new so idk what to comp[are it too i also havent gotten a lex so maybe once i get that ill have a more fair opinion

[outer mountain]

Im running the national bond armory rn and for some reason I dont have my seasonal buff when im in it

[left ravine]

Disabled intentionally

[outer mountain]

ah is there a reason

[cloud harness]

Yeah this is hard

[daring ocean]

do yall game just feel laggy because whenever I look around it just feel kind of laggy like when you moving your mouse is it just my problem or anyone have encountered something similar

[left ravine]

#unofficial-troubleshooting message

[daring ocean]

yeah thx ill look for it over there

[left ravine]

I linked you the bandaid fix

I did not mean for you to post there, just click on the link

If I were to link simply a channel you would not see the little speech bubble at the end

[daring ocean]

oh yeah right

[deep ingot]

@digital adder

[bright trail]

What do lanterns drop?

[left ravine]

Idk but during the Winter Event the presents dropped loot

[deep ingot]

they spawn squad ambushes

[slate thorn]

Can anyone help me with the quick step

[civic junco]

What is this? How do I find that?

[void fossil]

Yall do the event squads spawn in retaliation/countdown or literally just open world. Should I just be farming control points?

I’ve done 5 squads and have gotten 1 key and no Ronin

[hollow reef]

Good question, I want to know as well.

[void fossil]

Was so excited to finally get my hands on a Lexington but the dream may not be fulfilled

I got the Nemesis tho is that any good? Hold trigger to do more damage?

For a hot shot build?

[hollow reef]

Dunno, I dont use mmr build.

[analog quartz]

It drops from gear caches during this event. To save to the hassle of finding someone with the bounty, mate.

[bleak oracle]

Nemesis is worth to keep but not used much in open world or missions

[void fossil]

Rip

[slate thorn]

Ahh thankyou

[void fossil]

Ive just been hopping between sos open world requests to find the event squads

[analog quartz]

No probs 🙂

[void fossil]

I’d love to get the infinite spawn glitch this grind is so slow

[bright trail]

Escalations?

[vale token]

I got a quickstep from a sakura key and its prototyped lol is that because mine is? or they can come prototyped?

[mellow trout]

Very rare chance for seasonal gear prototypes in the caches

[vale token]

Oh thats cool lol it came with echo on it

[cloud harness]

You think i can work with this

[left ravine]

Yeah, change talent and optimize WD first

[fluid mountain]

Open world only

[void fossil]

So cringe

[bright trail]

Prototype candidate is probably left over from original ideas where only certain items could be prototyped

[fluid mountain]

Well I dont think hunters AND ronins would be fun

[void fossil]

Our opinions differ on that aspect lol

[sudden elk]

Do Ronins not spawn if you are solo?
or when you are in Control Point?

[fluid mountain]

[fluid mountain]

They do but sometimes theyre bugged out or smth, happened to me

[sudden elk]

when I am alone in Overgrowth or Riverside Gas Station I never get Ronins

[bright trail]

They do spawn when you are solo

[left ravine]

They're unrelated to CPs

[cloud harness]

Killer right

[sudden elk]

Then my game is bugged. I don't get Ronins at the end

[fluid mountain]

Matchmake into world Exploration, lots of people are doing Ronins

[eternal edge]

why does it feel like max armor heartbreaker pieces dont drop

[naive mirage]

Does levelling up an augument on prototype gear make it a universal level or only for that gear piece?

[mellow trout]

Per piece

[naive mirage]

So there is no point levelling up auguments really until you have either a max roll or really close to max roll piece

[left ravine]

Killer solo, Measured in group (or in general if you don't want to rely on crit kills to proc a talent)

[cloud harness]

Ok good news is im loveing longer on challenging

[void fossil]

I’m at 8 squads 1 key I’m losing my mind

Yall im losing it im taking a break i cant figure out how to get them to even spawn in my world. Is it really on a 10 minute timer?

[warm salmon]

yes

[void fossil]

I’ve just been hopping from backup request to backup request

Why does a $60 game have free-to-play player retention mechanics

Who is paying for cosmetics In this game. The only item worth buying is the cat backpack if it ever comes back

[inner tendon]

Why does the always online game want to keep people playing with extra content, and charge for it?
Servers cost money.

[void fossil]

Brother you need like 300 keys to get everything

[inner tendon]

Artists are still humans that require money to live.

I know, we're trying to work that out of them.

[void fossil]

I’m a single father with 5 kids I can only play for like an hour a month

Are they human tho where’s the proof

[inner tendon]

You're a member of the Gorillaz, you'll be fine.

[void fossil]

Big facts wagwan my brother

You listen to the mountain literally a 10/10 album

I bump the song machine all the time tho

They should add a Gorillaz collab

I’m literally 2D

They should add a Del the funky homosapien skin

If I got one Lexington I’d put another 500 hours into the game

[fluid mountain]

Killer or strained on lex for everyday use ?

[inner tendon]

Killer for Solo, Measured/Strained/Back+Forth for groups.

[vale token]

Im finally free lol got like 5 lexingtons

[novel mica]

With the Darpa mission, will the striker that potentially drip be prototype?

[vale token]

Nah whatever target loot is doesnt apply to prototype drops

[inner tendon]

If it's in Escalation: yeah items can drop pre-Proto'd.

[lucid axle]

Is there anyway to stop the game from being jittery other than turning down my polling rate? had to turn it down to 500 after the maintenance update

[vale token]

Washington first week had a day of strikers TL and no prototype drops were strikers lol

Its possible to get it randomly from any mission but the TL daily doesnt effect it at all

[novel mica]

Brilliant, thank you

[mellow trout]

Yes

Daily TL functionality was added to escalations with this update

E.g

[vale token]

So all the prototype drops will be strikers?

[mellow trout]

No

Assuming you hit a prototype drop, there is a chance for that drop to be TL

[vale token]

Then how is it targetted loot lol

[mellow trout]

Chance increases with tier

[fluid mountain]

Does tinkerer work with lexington ?

[mellow trout]

Doesn't work with named or exotics

[vale token]

Someone said T5 and above they were getting lots of protos with this update which is cool, but they added the daily TL for protos also? because I didnt see that

[inner tendon]

Yes, there's a daily targeted loot rotation for Escalation Missions now.

To clarify: Targeted Loot works as a potential extra drop on top of what an enemy normally would already drop.

[vale token]

So its one daily TL which applies to all the missions or is it each mission has its own?

[inner tendon]

Different for each mission.

resets the same time as your daily projects.

[vale token]

Okay and strikers is on one of the missions today?

[fluid mountain]

I thought maybe cause lexington doesnt have a fixed talent but whatever

[inner tendon]

With how popular DARPA is in the LFG's, I'm going to assume it's DARPA.

[vale token]

Sounds like ill be doing that

[inner tendon]

Not all Named Items have a perfect Talent, some have a bonus attribute instead.
e.g. White Death would also not work with Tinkerer.

[naive mirage]

Should I save all my scavenging points for the next event coming up, so I can use that for the printer stuff for expertise?

[vale token]

YES

i just finished exp due to lasrt events and that helped lol

[deep ingot]

when i farm retaliations, i target farm mods. and trash every single one for printer filaments during those types of events aswell. it all adds up

[mellow trout]

^

[inner tendon]

You can also turn on auto-deconstruct for duplicate skill mods, can save you some time.

[deep ingot]

^^ true forgot about that i just always had it on

[mellow trout]

Art museum - Murakami
Manning - Exuro
White oak - Habs
The pentagon - Zwia
DARPA - Striker

[cloud harness]

Good news the lexington helped me a lot and im surviving eooo

[deep ingot]

welcome brother to the lex life

👁️ 🫦 👁️

[calm harbor]

Do we need to put in at least 1 key to the community cahce to get all the rewards?

[vale token]

It says something like that so I put one key in lol

If I dont get anything its okay but I put my 1 key

[blazing ruin]

i cant interact with it

[deep ingot]

i believe a squad should be nearby, kill it then you can "cleanse" it

but, the event has had a few issues so i wouldnt be suprised if it was just bugged.

[calm harbor]

i have crashed 3 times in 10 mins wth game?

[blazing ruin]

hmm no squad nearby at all i have check

[deep ingot]

might be cooked

[calm harbor]

you have to clear nearby enemies first i think

[thorn kettle]

You need to kill a squad, then you can interact with the lantern. For every lantern

[deep ingot]

map of laterns if anyone needs it

[blazing ruin]

i have killed the closest but still cant

[inner tendon]

Do a nearby activity. Just clear the area until it works.

[buoyant narwhal]

do the paper lanterns give u keys

[hollow reef]

damn that was fast

[deep ingot]

no

[hollow reef]

No
#division-tweets message

[lucid axle]

how long do I have to stall for the kitsunebi bosses to spawn?

[mellow trout]

They have a ten minute cooldown

[lucid axle]

Do I just kill the group to get the bosses to spawn?

[mellow trout]

The primer says kill kitsunebi squads to spawn ronin but I've seen people kill a bunch and not get any spawns so I'd imagine there's an rng element

[lucid axle]

ohhh

[fringe lintel]

what is the best tallent for lexington

[deep ingot]

solo-killer group- measured

[cloud harness]

Retallations are still tough solo

[deep ingot]

they are meant to be a challenge

[slim elk]

OD Tinkerer disagrees

[deep ingot]

first T5 escal of the day very first enemy, 2 proto drops 👁️ 🫦 👁️

[jagged meadow]

fyi for anyone trying to get the Lexington or any other event item, your friend can drop items for you if you're in the same squad as them when they pull it

[civic junco]

Who was saying that you can't farm Striker gear in Escalation?

[deep ingot]

Targeted loot now can drop in Proto in escalations.

[bleak oracle]

literally nobody

[serene sky]

ah is the rogue agent music suppose to play when Ronin appears?

[eternal edge]

i cant seem to interact with one of the lanterns

[deep ingot]

yes

[fluid mountain]

No, but every 10 you get a patch

I think

[serene sky]

bugger he disappeared

[deep ingot]

they can get "stuck" and if they dont move they despawn

[serene sky]

oh. is there a guide on how to trigger them?

[deep ingot]

not really, i stay NW of the map though

SW is buggy

matchmake>open world exploration>hopefully you find a squad farming the event.

its what i did, i got a bunch of keys hopping in and out of groups

[dusty wolf]

how does the salute the flag hunter work, i tried it but he never spawned

i made sure it was the right time

[pseudo tundra]

try moving around a bit, i remember being very finnicky

[lusty stream]

got some keys 🫩

[somber spoke]

is the lantern at the bottom right of west end bugged? Cant interact with it

[sour mortar]

19 more expertise and you can prototype your gear

[somber spoke]

cant interact

[lusty stream]

yeah, its a lot...

[sour mortar]

Try relog, if not work, restart game

[lusty stream]

got my first named prototype :O

lol i think i finished the event in 1 day, got everything from the caches' pools and donated 80 keys 😂

[outer mountain]

is this seriously 1k levels for 1 cache

[late bronze]

true sons not showing in map is it bug?
since yestarday

[left ravine]

Report this via but reporter platform

[bleak oracle]

caches just meant to be the bonus anyway, the 3x exp is where its at. if you want exotics there are better ways

[outer mountain]

yeah its just odd

[bleak oracle]

i forgot if they had the cache at the end before

[fickle apex]

I just had a question. Was cross play added yet for PS and PC players to play together? Because I have a friend on PS and they show up on my friends list in social. But, when I click on them it says status unavailable and I can't invite them to group. They don't see me at all as online or anything. Is this a bug or is cross play between console and PC even a thing?

[dusty wolf]

i spent the entire night and he didn't spawn 🥀

[calm harbor]

proto gear set piece

[hollow reef]

Crossplay is not even out yet. In the last stream its simply confirmed its still in development.

[fickle apex]

Okay thank you, I had heard the wrong news then. I heard it was going to be released on april 2nd. Thank you

[pseudo tundra]

Someone wrote an article using AI so google gulped that up and is now spreading fake news

Such is the new world

[dusty wolf]

i sure do love generative slop

[tacit flame]

Hey im in dire need of a quickstep on psn was wondering if anyone here has the houndsman bounty?

[vale token]

just do the event you can get it from the caches

[tacit flame]

The new event, really?

[deep ingot]

Rare chance to obtain Prototype Gear Set and Prototype Seasonal Named items.
Special Named Gear
Lexington

Handbasket
Seasonal Named Gear

[vale token]

Yeah I got 3 of them today

[deep ingot]

for the non readers^

[tacit flame]

Daaaamn awesome thanks so much dude

[open moss]

anyone have the houndsman bounty?

[vale token]

if you want quickstep just do the event brother

[edgy scroll]

what i do for most possible xp in fastest way , I NEED SHD LEVELS

[serene sky]

why did I get kicked

[deep ingot]

If you have National bond armory classified mission, farm that with all directives on. If you don't have access to it, farm control points with directives

[tacit flame]

Cos

[deep ingot]

If you get good at NBA farm 2-3 mins for 5 levels on repeat. It's a bit braindead but amazing xp

[sudden elk]

which of these do I need to keep an eye on? I know lexington is good. What else to save?

[mellow trout]

Any that you don't have

[deep ingot]

lex , turmoil, caretaker, harvest, chill out, quick step, main juicy ones

[summer harness]

I'm rolling for quick steps after I finish the apparel set. But since I specifically want it, it'll probably never roll for me 💀

[bleak oracle]

ngl its prob better to ask for houndsman than gamble on caches if you want quickstep

but you got 3 weeks

[hollow reef]

My first ever proto drop, can you optimize this?

[deep ingot]

nope

[indigo wraith]

can you get a proto Lexington from the gear caches?

[hollow reef]

RIP

[bleak oracle]

its already higher than base stats and you got it for free, its fine

useless augment tho lol

[deep ingot]

you have to get lucky enough to get a god rolled stat for proto's (higher tier higher chance of the god roll of course) but still very rare

[hollow reef]

alright thanks

[hollow reef]

Whats the best one?

[bleak oracle]

echo, amalgam are good for general ar/lmg dps

[earnest pawn]

Can i get sakura key with normal mode as same as heroic?

[warm salmon]

yeah

[earnest pawn]

so no needs to play with fricking hard mode

[warm salmon]

shhhh

[bitter mango]

👍

[earnest pawn]

so is this event plays kinda Krumpus like kicking Ronin's trooper's ass and get the bounty, then just farm the keys without killng Ronin?

[warm salmon]

no bounty, keys drop from killing ronin

[earnest pawn]

i see then how ronins spond to D.C.?

[pseudo tundra]

they will spawn after you defeat enough ambushes

[earnest pawn]

Ahh i see, appreciate

then all i need to farm it is just defeating ambushes with ronin, is it right with my understanding?

[pseudo tundra]

y

[earnest pawn]

thanks, love this community

[eternal edge]

why in the hell do we do reduced dmg to these stupid event enemies

[mellow trout]

Read the patch notes

[pseudo tundra]

the damage is spread between all of them

it's like turmoil x5

[mellow trout]

They have a special modifier that links their HP together

[pseudo tundra]

you shoot one but it's hitting 5 people

[eternal edge]

thts dumb

[bleak oracle]

its easy

[pseudo tundra]

if you just have enough raw damage it just means you kill one and the rest are either dead or one shot

[mellow trout]

It malfunctions occasionally, but you don't really even need it to

[deep ingot]

its like there a new weapon thats made for farming the event (not that i know if its good or not)

[pseudo tundra]

alos skills and stuff that stuns enemies are you friend

[bleak oracle]

just aimf or the heavy gunner or chunga and they all die

[mellow trout]

Games got so much powercreep you can burn one and kill everything else by proxy

[pseudo tundra]

they added a new named AR for the event, deals more damage the more HP an enemy has

[deep ingot]

👁️ 🫦 👁️

im contemplating on making mine proto for the heck of it.

[inner tendon]

It's honestly really funny, that if you kill 1, the rest of the squad get melted by a passing JTF patrol.

Elite threats these are not.

[livid bear]

why is my jefferson trade center hyena box not here

[jovial wind]

if crit chance is maxed at 60%, does crit dmg also got maxed at some percentage?

[left ravine]

No limit but something like diminishing returns

[slim elk]

diminiajdnhaksidbvsosnding returns will haunt you

[jovial wind]

currently, i have 55/116 with a killer weapon that increases crit dmg by 90%. So in theory I would get 200%-ish crit dmg right?

Meh, worth a try. Thanks for the info

[warm salmon]

yeah, it's only diminishing returns in the sense that going from 1% to 2% chd is a much bigger leap than 101% to 102%

[mellow trout]

Are you on the invaded or manhunt version

[livid bear]

invaded

[fast light]

supposedly i have not out of like 400 keys lol

[mellow trout]

That would be why

[livid bear]

ic

[edgy oxide]

Feeling lucky.
First box opened on the event.

[radiant coral]

I cant interact with one of the lanterns I've found. Are there different things you have to do?

[inner tendon]

@radiant coral Kill all nearby enemies/activities. Should trigger.

[radiant coral]

Ahh ok

[hollow spoke]

Farming these new event guys is more a matter of time than anything right?

[deep ingot]

W moment

[late bronze]

Cassie Mendoza location this week?

[bleak oracle]

talk to the snitch and youll find out

[late bronze]

where i can find the snitch

[deep ingot]

north of Golf CP at DZ South, theres a lil roundabout that usually has it chilling

[bleak oracle]

he spawns randomly in a lot of places but my favourite is dz east echo checkpoint. tp there, exit cp, go right, go up the ladder on your left, and the snitch should be beside the whiteboard in the room

[late bronze]

ty

[deep ingot]

(random spawns for it but i find it 80% of the time there)

[bleak oracle]

if not i just log out and log in again

[late bronze]

ty guys

[late bronze]

here?

[deep ingot]

yeeee

that's old reliable for me

[late bronze]

no luck sadly , iwill try to logout and in

[deep ingot]

watch it not be there

👁️ 🫦 👁️

[late bronze]

i will try carte spot

[late bronze]

wait is he the snitch

[deep ingot]

yes 👀

[late bronze]

LMAO i thought he needs help

i ignored him lol

[deep ingot]

lmaooo

[lucid axle]

do ronins guarantee drop keys?

[hollow reef]

National Bond Armory is still god for level farming? If yes how many level you get with the current triple exp boost?

[deep ingot]

65% chance ronin, 6% squads

[lucid axle]

thank you

[deep ingot]

5 levels 3min runs

[late bronze]

i did logout and in , and i accept his request it gone?

[hollow reef]

National Bond Armory?

[deep ingot]

all you do is interact with him and you'll see the vendors on map

[hollow reef]

Someone said its nerfed.

[weary wedge]

You still get like 5 lvls per run.

[deep ingot]

people have been running it all day that i know of.

[real cypress]

is there a specific spot for black ronin spawns?

[late bronze]

this?

[hollow reef]

@broken dagger How's this?

[deep ingot]

anywhere but some areas they bug out and despawn before getting to you

[late bronze]

tyvmmm

[real cypress]

huh ok i was wondering coz i kept getting red ronins

[deep ingot]

ohhh wait you need to be in a group for the 2nd one to spawn in

[real cypress]

i was in a group

[deep ingot]

welllll

[hollow reef]

Nevermind, this is just Control Point farming in general.

I'll invite you.

[broken dagger]

yeah, 3x xp is pretty good. national bond armory gives 1m exp per clear and average clear time is around 5 minutes. 4, if you tryhard. with the 3x xp boost, u get around 3.1m xp. or we can go capture Control points for around 2.2m xp per CP

[hollow reef]

Dont have NBA so control point it is.

[late bronze]

thats overkill 3h for npc 😵

[bleak oracle]

you can def clear in less than 3

chill clear

[deep ingot]

theres 2 vendors cassie and then danny, both have same iconn

[broken dagger]

damn, what build do u use?

[hollow reef]

Come on lets go.

[broken dagger]

i been using the hotshot headhunter determined one

[bleak oracle]

hotshot but replace 2 pieces with overdogs and turmoil

1886 + switch to sr1 determined for boss room

[broken dagger]

ah oke

[bleak oracle]

i start the first encounter with foam so nobody moves and you get easy headshots

[late bronze]

ty they are both closed

[robust vortex]

What’s the best way to find gear

And weapons struggling rn

[slim elk]

Lvl40 Starters Guide

[elfin carbon]

did they fix the infinite ronin glitch?

[pulsar sparrow]

I see this question asked a number of times, but see no definitive answer. Has anyone successfully purchased Brooklyn DLC on Steam while owning the base game on Ubi Connect -- and have it work?

[left ravine]

Yeah that should work AFAIK

[pulsar sparrow]

side note, steam forcing me to add the base game to the cart because friend bought base game thru ubi 🤨. only a few bucks more, but still.

[hollow spoke]

Just farmed for the first time got like 65 keys I think my goal is 200-250 by the event of the event, I want the new weapon, wanna get like 5-10 lexingtons so I can prototype them all and get the best rolls then donate 80 and perhaps get the apparel I’m not sure yet

Think it’ll be enough keys for all that 250?

[hollow reef]

Who's this again? And what does he do?

[broken dagger]

that's the snitch, he can give u a bounty iirc

[hollow reef]

Anything special about his bounty?

[bleak oracle]

nah but talking to him unlocks cassie and danny

[young stag]

for early game should i deconstruct or sell?

[broken dagger]

deconstruct high end, sell the named ones

[north marsh]

can spawn infinite ronin on solo or group only?

[cedar stag]

you should donate to expertise if level 40

[desert furnace]

The skill effects from the new event, are those from the challenges or from the apparel caches?

[inner tendon]

@desert furnace Skill Effects are paid in the store, but the Ronin have a chance to drop "corrupted" versions of them, which are similar-ish.
tl;dr free via Ronin, paid via Store. Both different.

[desert furnace]

Ah I see.

[somber spoke]

Is this event annual or a one-time thing?

[left ravine]

First time

[inner tendon]

There will likely be a different version of it next year, since last time we had an Easter-themed one instead.

[unreal solar]

1st picture is an expertise 13 first bloom, maxed out Weapon Damage (15%)
2nd picture is an "expertise 30" first bloom, with 19% weapon damage

i don't feel like the numbers are right, are they?
or am i just too dumb

[left ravine]

What is your problem with the base damage?

Screenshots of all stats are preferred btw

[unreal solar]

first 2 pictures are the prototype

[inner tendon]

They're asking if the increase between the two is the actual amount increased, or are the totals bugged.

[unreal solar]

yes!!
sorry if i didn't made myself clear

I feel like the total is bugged..like the expertise 30 isn't properly applied

[inner tendon]

All g, we get a lot of people who think Expertise 30 is a flat increase of 30% damage, and not a tiny overall boost.

[unreal solar]

I tried doing the math myself and it gives 164k or so, and the proto weapon for some reason gives 147k
...
or im wrong and it's just right the way it is

[mint charm]

I was fighting red ronin but he suddenly smoke bomb and disappeared

[calm harbor]

ooh yes gear cahce gave me max roll turmoil kneepads

[earnest pawn]

where's the spawning point of kitsune? same place with hoarder?

[inner tendon]

@jagged meadow Rule 6, can't discuss it.

[jagged meadow]

LMAO also sorry wrong chat my bad

[keen pelican]

cant interact

[feral bronze]

anybdy got the 3 content creator patch codes ahving to jump through hoops for some of them when watching them

[warm salmon]

fast travel away then back

[somber spoke]

fast travel, then try again

What's yalls best builds/weapons to kill the ronins?

[north pier]

You're not gonna believe this, but it's Striker.

[somber spoke]

what gun

[north pier]

Sounds crazy, but Lexington.

[tough marsh]

literally anything with damage. I did mine with a IA Regulus build

[inner tendon]

@indigo wraith It's an exploit, can't be discussed on this server.
And I'd recommend not LFG'ing for it on here either.

[indigo wraith]

ahh dang

[keen pelican]

not worked

[slim elk]

relog until it lets you interact with it

[keen pelican]

hmm

[twilit dragon]

think i should prototype lexington? (would be my first prototype id actually use) or just wait till until they make protos not miserable, if they even do

[calm harbor]

mmm hmmmmm

from gear cache

do they come as rank 10 already?

[keen pelican]

not working 🙄

[near kite]

am i suppose to get this at expertise level 9?

[topaz forge]

hello why can't i grab this lantern is the agent stupid?
edit: i relogged and could acquire it

[slim elk]

you can use and pickup proto gear regardless of your Exp lvl

[near kite]

thanks, didnt know that

[grave quail]

How rare do proto gears drop in the caches? I opened 50 and got none

[compact furnace]

From which cache does the Lexington and Sidestep drop in the new update?

[mossy geyser]

The gear cache

[near kite]

i got two in a row but both first bloom

[compact furnace]

Thanks!

[grave quail]

But still lucky tho

[compact furnace]

What do you mean by first bloom?

[near kite]

looks like a p90 i think

[slim elk]

if anyone wants to know, no, NBA is NOT king XP wise
I don't consider it an exploit anymore so I think this shouldn't be removed by any means and if it does... rip ig

Math just busted NBA in XP earned as 2nd best after the nerf was made.

[trim ivy]

can the Lexington roll with different core attributes?

[slim elk]

no

[trim ivy]

ah

[grave quail]

What build are you running?

[inner tendon]

You don't want different attributes anyway, that's the godroll.

[trim ivy]

I thought you would want to replace health damage with damage to armor?

[slim elk]

nope

[inner tendon]

You can't replace the 2nd attribute on guns.
The first 2 attributes are locked to that weapon type.

[slim elk]

plus you cant replace cores

[trim ivy]

oh

[inner tendon]

e.g. crit chance always on SMG, health damage for AR's, etc.
dw, you'll get the nuances after a while.

[trim ivy]

now I am wondering if I want to put streamline on it or flatline (I usually run heartbreaker)

[inner tendon]

Flatline would be better, Streamline is less useful than it sounds, especially if you're going for a red focused build.

[slim elk]

the latter

[desert thunder]

So I am doing the camp white oak mission and this was in that little shed I thought purple gear drop from enemies

[inner tendon]

It's part of targeted loot within the mission, so any source in there can drop targeted loot.
Same as any normal mission!

[desert thunder]

but prototype in a box?

[slim elk]

it is possible

[calm harbor]

anyone elses game crashing often since the update?

[onyx swan]

Hiii,
kannst du mir sagen warum die Darpa Labor Mission bei mir gesperrt ist ? Beim Eskalations Terminal ? . Was muss ich da machen ?

[indigo wraith]

are we sure lexington can drop as a proto from the event caches just opened like 450 boxs and nothing

[north pier]

I got a Proto First Bloom so assumption is that any named can drop I guess?

[indigo wraith]

yeah i got like 5 of those

[calm harbor]

How have you opened 450 boxes lol

[mellow trout]

Only first bloom

[north pier]

Ah, gotcha.

[indigo wraith]

and a few random proto gears but no lex

[indigo wraith]

so no proto lex?

[mellow trout]

The only items that can drop prototyped from the crate are first bloom, gearsets and seasonal named items

[indigo wraith]

Shhhhh

[mellow trout]

No lex, no caretaker, turmoils, stack broker

[indigo wraith]

i got proto sleigher tho and a buddy got proto bell ringer

[calm harbor]

delta 03 - 3 times already in 5 mins ;/

[indigo wraith]

how is lex not counted as one of those thats lame

[mellow trout]

It was an exclusive one off drop

Same as the other special named items that aren't considered seasonal

[indigo wraith]

i mean ig but still lame

[mellow trout]

You can always just make your own too

[desert thunder]

Ich habe keine Ahnung

[indigo wraith]

only lvl like 19

[mellow trout]

Don't worry about it then😭

[indigo wraith]

wasnt worried abt making my own lol

just someone said lex could drop as proto so ive been trying for it guess they were wrong

[onyx swan]

Ok danke trotzdem. Zu deiner Frage , habe gestern bei einem Streamer gesehen das Proto auch in Kisten dort droppt . Viel Spaß noch

[desert thunder]

Du musst mit dem Polon sprechen.

[onyx swan]

Pilot meinst du ? Ich schau mal nach . Danke 🙏

[desert thunder]

Du musst mit dem Piloten sprechen, um die Petagon-Mission zu starten.

[onyx swan]

Achso . Okay sehr gut . Danke dir

[narrow pier]

HI chat, anyone can tell me how can I have 2 attributes like on this photo? is not the named version of unity alloys, right?

[wise void]

one is the prototype augment, the other is obliterate no?, otherwise dont all equalizers have 2 slots?

[north pier]

Tons and tons of luck.

[somber spoke]

fourth attribute could be a mod?

[woven herald]

hello, someone know where to buy the modifiers plz?
The game told me to check the Recombinaison shop but it's empty.

[narrow pier]

I have the same set as him and I do not have a fourth attribute, can you get a second attribute in a pro item?

this is the build he is using

[carmine coyote]

Dropped 140 keys , got prototype first bloom , harvest , core strengh . Non proto ,Got lex, turmoil, hunter killer and more , didnt get pro lex , should l keep farming keys later or just move on to outfits because lm trying my rng too much ?

[jovial wind]

what's a good dps heartbreaker? should I get both body and bag?

[sturdy geyser]

What do you get from turning on all lanterns

[formal idol]

is the maintenance done? why i still got kciked out

[jovial wind]

laterns doesnt give anything, it triggers a kitsunebi raid, if I'm not wrong.

[fallen island]

any idea what item is it? I could not loot it

[fickle ravine]

chest only, bag only gives you more bonus armor

[woven herald]

a part of a exotic weapon (i think its a pistol)

[fallen island]

I mean it says Holster. But I wonder why I could not loot it

[woven herald]

btw, someone know where to buy the Global event modifiers? My shop show nothing:

[woven herald]

maybe its a quest

[formal idol]

guys why my division 2 keeps disconnecting? ytd i played it was okay

[nimble spruce]

Part of the Dodge City exotic holster, likely you already have that part in your inventory.

[jagged meadow]

i got 2 lexington's in 100 keys. just some perspective for anyone else trying to go for it

[tough bear]

are ronin spawns entirely rng? i've only gotten one spawn

[formal idol]

anyone can help me?

[narrow pier]

so, anyone knows how can I get the two attributes in the chest? and the backpack?

[nimble spruce]

The second one is the augment, only on prototype items

[glossy drum]

close game, give it a couple minutes, launch again.

[formal idol]

ive been doing it since yesterday

[glossy drum]

The servers are up, so it'll be something local to you potentially.

[formal idol]

i see , thanks for the info ,

[woven herald]

up.
I cannot buy any modifiers since the update

[supple bane]

was there not a teaser or something for the upcoming incursion. i remember seeing a drone footage or something of it.

[fast light]

I probably got 15 or 20 😑 lol

[nimble spruce]

@autumn kindle this would be a breach of #rules 6, as it's clearly not intended

[muted lance]

how to fix ?

[somber spoke]

Did you login somewhere else?

[muted lance]

no

[cedar stag]

secure your account

check emails see if passwords changed on ubi

[muted lance]

not be penetrated

Nothing happens when I leave the launcher running in this interface.

[shadow isle]

where the hell is the 2nd lantern? That map people are sharing isn't drawn well

[bright trail]

Is proto lexington ın the chests?

[carmine coyote]

Possible , but l got a few proto , they are very low chance

[autumn kindle]

my bad

[vale token]

100+ keys and only 1 proto lol so dont expect much

[fallen island]

what woud be the fastest way to gain shd levels during this 3x xp event? CP, retal or maybe missions?

[deep ingot]

national Bond Armory 2-3 min runs for 5 levels each.

if you cant farm NBA, controls points is good aswell.

[fallen island]

thanks!

[woven herald]

up. where can i buy the global modifiers please?

[deep ingot]

theresa a laptop next to the Specializations guy in the white house. to the Right, you can buy all the mods for the season

[woven herald]

it show nothing since the update

[deep ingot]

i would try relogging, or deactivating the event and reactivate.

[woven herald]

relogged. it shows the shop nowx thanks 🙂

[glossy drum]

Check you haven't had the modifiers disabled.

Nice.

[hollow reef]

Can someone show me a max rolled prototype striker piece?

[calm harbor]

guys why is the weather miserable in game 90% of the time

[tough marsh]

didn't know clear skies is miserable

[novel mica]

Not home atm so can't check until tonight so was wondering if there is any escalation missions in the Unit Alloy section?

[glossy drum]

I dunno, the petals are pretty nice.

[glossy drum]

Missions have their own loot rotation.

[novel mica]

Ahh okay so is there any escalation missions that have Unit alloy as targeted loot?

[calm harbor]

Unit Alloy is allocated at Constitution Hall

Tip of the Spear, Golan Gear, Grupo, Shotgun and Ongoing Directive are the Escalation prototype Target Loot.

[deep ingot]

shhhhh #rules 6

[dusty wolf]

is the wraith hunter bugged?

no matter how many times i salute he won’t spawn

[urban surge]

gotcha

sry

[deep ingot]

Matchmaking>Open world exploration>Jump between groups already fighting ronin/squads>Leave and repeat. the best advice i can give for people, its the method i used.

[dusty wolf]

i spent a whole ingame night just spamming the salute emote 🥀

[deep ingot]

have you relogged?

[dusty wolf]

that was yesterday so

technically yeah i’m getting on now

[deep ingot]

hopefully its fixed for you, i have heard of people having issues with wraith before

[dusty wolf]

crying watching a video of a guy do it in 15 seconds

[glossy drum]

Check game time. Believe most hunters it needs to be after 9pm but before dawn. Not that I have done them all yet either.

[calm harbor]

Whats the best way to get Overdog Gloves? Asking for a friend

[glossy drum]

Retal. One of the factions drops a blueprint.

[calm harbor]

Do you know which one?

[deep ingot]

target farm gloves while running it, theres a chance to get them as a Raw drops instead of BP's

[dusty wolf]

21:00 to 5 i think, i made sure the time was right

[calm harbor]

ty

[remote elbow]

Is the underground faction considered one of those 6 or do they have no drops?

[fallen island]

Anyone knows what does a corrupted petal do? Ronin dropped it and I equipped my reviver hive with it. But I must be blind and no info what it does

[glossy drum]

Cosmetic? I mean to equip it either has to be a mod or a cosmetic, so.

[fallen island]

Ah ok

[deep ingot]

makes the pellets the shoot out of the hives have a cool effect

[dusty wolf]

yeah they're just cosmetic trails, ronins drop those for skills

[compact furnace]

Is it down again?

[novel mica]

Damn, thank you

[dusty wolf]

wth is a rogue agent, dude clapped me

i know what they are lore wise i meant one spawned in

[tough bear]

the "rogue agent" npcs or the ronins?

[dusty wolf]

it was an npc called rogue agent

[tough bear]

yeah, you just gotta clap back harder

[glossy drum]

They are what they say they are. Rogue agents. Basically us but with cool red watches.

[hollow reef]

Rogue agent encounter. Often spawns in mission or after you took a control point outside retaliation.

They always outnumbers you btw. If you're alone, there'll be two. If you're in full team, there'll be five.

[dusty wolf]

i only saw one of em

dude exploded me with his mind

[hollow reef]

What?

[glossy drum]

I'm trying to work out which skill you could possibly be referring to and I am coming up blank..

[dusty wolf]

hive probably

[fathom raptor]

I want to be able to craft this backpack. but it's a season 11 reward. I'm running retaliations and random control points but is there any other way to get the blueprint?

[cobalt sedge]

Reconstructed caches from descent, same as the ones from retaliations

[blazing ruin]

hmm why i cant see any press F

[ionic dome]

is first bloom a good AR?

[blazing ruin]

i have clear everythign near by

[dapper root]

its solid

[winter elk]

how do you get the really high ronin spawns, just matchmake for open world?

[ionic dome]

does it also use striker set?

[fathom raptor]

Thanks!

[dapper root]

in general striker play not really but ill use it for for escalation imo

[ionic dome]

what set for it ?

[dapper root]

striker

using first bloom for a striker build in escalation is feasible

[ionic dome]

for ronin hunting?

[dapper root]

you can

[slow cairn]

does the report button even work in this game? so i know if my reports actualy goin thru or nah.

[paper pier]

So tired of this bug!
they just sit there and 'hiding' from noone

[real cypress]

what does donating 20 keys into the community cache get you? is it a skin for ur weapon?

[dapper root]

its a patch

[real cypress]

oh, thats nice

[slow cairn]

my rng luck is so bad it's funny tbh.

[deep ingot]

on the surface theres a lil gated area with crates that NPCs get stuck at, try looking up there

[mint charm]

how many keys do we need to get all the event stuff

[dapper root]

about 110 (30 for apparel, 80 for patchs)

[mint charm]

ahh okay thankies

[paper pier]

and the drop rate is total bs
just completed 6 or more patrols and got 0 keys

[tranquil tide]

I finally got "Lexington". It rolled with Assault Rifle Damage, Health Damage and Damage to target out of cover with Overflowing trait. Should I change anything?

[dapper root]

I got everything day 1 so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[paper pier]

not asked you

[dapper root]

didnt need to ask

[paper pier]

and the game is not only for you

[dapper root]

same to you no one asked for how many keys you got XD gl with the grind

[paper pier]

I said drop rate is BS
read carefully next time

[dire creek]

guys how do i get dark zone keys?

[paper pier]

in dz

[dire creek]

bruh

i know but how do i get it in the dark zone

[dapper root]

and right after that you said you got 0 for 6 or more patrols XD you should read you own text XD

[paper pier]

this is called logic - google it

[dapper root]

lol such a child

[paper pier]

now you are trying to personal attack me because you just lose

[inner tendon]

I don't care who started this, the next person to continue it is getting an hour timeout.

[dapper root]

you get them from completing monuments aka the little zone around the DZ

you can also get them from DZ caches in the Momuments

[tranquil tide]

I'm just gonna bump this.. 😅 lol

[dapper root]

just the talent everything else is perfect

[tranquil tide]

What would I replace it with? In your recommendation.

[dapper root]

Killer for solo and Measured for group play

[paper pier]

like any other Lexington
just roll any talent, which fits your build

[tranquil tide]

I'm completely dumb when it comes to making builds. I've mostly been running a striker.

[dapper root]

striker is fine as it is

[inner tendon]

Just to give you some good base info about changing stats on guns:
you want dtooc (damage to target out of cover) on everything except LMG's, because they already have it, on them you want CHC (crit chance).

[paper pier]

if you dont use skills then Streamlined is best option

[inner tendon]

Streamline is not as good as it sounds, it's hardly a meta Talent.

[warm salmon]

Streamlined isn't that big of a buff with how damage is calculated

[paper pier]

for general "I just got Striker' it is best

[dapper root]

Streamline isnt good... the stats is only a 15% buff

[inner tendon]

No, no it is not.

[paper pier]

which is better then?\

[warm salmon]

Killer for solo and Measured

[inner tendon]

"i just got striker"'s meta Talent is Killer, 100%.
its the best choice for solo, and works fine in a group if you are a kill stealer.
For less kill stealing, yeah Measured is good, as is back+forth, and I still like Strained.

For Killer though, I tend to go for Caretaker. It's a fun combo.

[paper pier]

Killer? how do you know which CHC he has? Maybe it's just 20%
If he able to say his build - then I can give better advice
if it's just general "striker" - then STreamlined

[inner tendon]

If they have 20% total CHC, then no Talent is going to be solid on a gun.
because the gun is going to be firing nerf darts.

[deep ingot]

Solo play - Killer Group - Measured Strained is a good option aswell.

[tranquil tide]

I can keep changing out talents, if that's the only thing I change, right?

[magic sandal]

You need to be able to do CHD do anything unless you doing HSD

[warm salmon]

If you use skills like shield and revive hive, using either means losing the already little WD Streamlined gives

[inner tendon]

Correct, and yeah since Lexi' always comes godrolled, it's the only thing you should change!

[tranquil tide]

Okay! Thank you

[inner tendon]

gl Agent, and welcome to the striker portion of div2!

It's really addicting.

[torpid herald]

run killler on my lex with striker n momento build and secondary the scoprio its quite nasty

[paper pier]

Killer is bs without CHC
and STrained is lol without CHC and at fast RPM

[inner tendon]

Any reason why Scorpio in particular?

[real cypress]

does higher difficulty affect kitsune squad spawn rates

[torpid herald]

just for the status effects or if i need use sum close range i just like it

[deep ingot]

i use killer in all tiers of escalation and im carrying 80% of the time, idk what else to say

[tranquil tide]

I'd like to think because of the talent of it. The stunning effect is very nice.

[inner tendon]

it does affect key drop rates, but not the squads themselves.

The thing about Striker, is that it needs stacking up to be really powerful.
and scorpio just isn't fast enough.

[paper pier]

It only shows the quality of your team
and totally irrelevant to what I typed

[stray cobalt]

Hello! I have to go on holiday tomorrow for 3 weeks. How can I best farm the new Ronin and Kitsunebi , best in a group via matchmaking? Any tips? Thanks!

[warm salmon]

#td2-general-chat message

[deep ingot]

people that also have good builds, yes i do check whenever i join a new lobby. such a negative nancy 👁️ 🫦 👁️

i just run-n-gun and banshee pulse on cooldown. allows me to make use of killer and fry rooms very quickly.

[real cypress]

so is it better to just play on challenging at least?

[deep ingot]

just speakin' from experience

[paper pier]

play heroic

[torpid herald]

true true i build some stacks swap use scorpio swap back and im chillin

[inner tendon]

Yeah think of Challenging as your new base difficulty for div2.
there's a jump up to Heroic, so you can practice on Chall.

[torpid herald]

heroic all directives youll have a blast

[real cypress]

guh someone said just do normal coz it does not affect key drop rates smh

[inner tendon]

That person was.....let's just say wrong.

difficulty does affect the drop rates.

Directives don't!

[torpid herald]

a know

[real cypress]

its like 50% chance on normal and somewhere around 67% on heroic right

[paper pier]

I think it is way less ><

[dapper root]

50% normal 65% heroic

[tranquil tide]

I've been playing max directives all the time because some mentioned they did... xD
Pure suffering... lol

[torpid herald]

pure fun imo mostly

[paper pier]

should wait YTers for best and fastest farm strat...

[real cypress]

oh damn huge difference

but normal is just boring to play idk i like to challenge myself for no reason

[torpid herald]

you dont even need YT bruh just go about doing things capture points etc they will show when they show and hope you Lucky

[dapper root]

Lol yeah I just play hard for it

[real cypress]

oh sweet i matchmade into a dude on heroic with 3 directives, fun

[torpid herald]

i use 3 lol

[dapper root]

I need to do escalation for that OD loot

[real cypress]

overdose loot

[formal idol]

best specializations for solo ? and im a beginner just entering lv l30

[paper pier]

that's too slow
I want literal nonstop

[paper pier]

gunner

[torpid herald]

[formal idol]

the best?

[paper pier]

it depends on your preferences and combat style
for me - yes

[formal idol]

wdym by combat style ? what if im focusing on gun fight only

[tranquil tide]

Does the current x3 xp multiplier affect weapon proficiency xp?

[dapper root]

No

[paper pier]

maybe you prefer sniping - then it's sharpshooter

[dapper root]

Depends what are you looking for each specialization has its quirks

[formal idol]

im the type that only use smg and ar , whats the best one?

[dapper root]

I believe gunner would be your best bet as it give your armor on kill

[paper pier]

still gunner

[formal idol]

thanks both of u guys

[mint charm]

is the patch worth grinding for

[dapper root]

Uh up to interpretation of its a limited time patch

[warm salmon]

If you want it sure, I'm just going for it for completion's sake

[tranquil tide]

Same

[urban surge]

so i have defeated about 10 kitsune groups, however i have not seen any ronin

[dapper root]

It's weird It's rng the more kitsune group you kill the higher the chance

[vale token]

Yeah it is weird lol because someone said they got it after 5 groups a ronin so like idk what the chances are but pure RNG for ronin is poopy

[tranquil tide]

Do equipped weapons get the same proficiency xp? Or do weapons that I actively use get more xp than the not in use?

[paper pier]

seems like latter

[vale token]

using gets more xp from what i remember

[dapper root]

You got to use it

[vale token]

if you dont use it, itll get passive xp but it will be very slow lol

[stray cobalt]

Do I need to roam free world to find the groups and ronin?

[dapper root]

Ye

[vale token]

Yep

[stray cobalt]

ah ok that explains it. I only have done missions

[dapper root]

Now go murdering

[stray cobalt]

for retaliation I encountered two times groups, but at the end of retaliation so I got teleported out of the group before we could kill. Is this intended?

[desert thunder]

This is so cool

[dapper root]

Indeed

[left ravine]

All murals in the game are awesome

[real cypress]

looks like someone got hacked

[nocturne siren]

technically wouldnt you say their System is Corrupted?

[hollow reef]

shush

[nocturne siren]

[real cypress]

hunters got within 2 miles of their pc

[blazing ruin]

hmm i cant find this

[hard hound]

Does the enemies this event have unique abilities or fighting behaviors or nah

[dapper root]

Standard hunter ai from what it seems

[hard hound]

Ah so hunter with a reskin , lame

[dapper root]

Yes

[hard hound]

Do we get any good drip?

[dapper root]

The skill VFX

[left ravine]

They don't use melee tho

[dapper root]

True

[hard hound]

Damn no clothes? Lame

[hollow reef]

eh, not to me. I still prefer the look of OG Houndsman and Covert Hunter.

[hollow reef]

We get the Hunters clothing by donating 5M keys.

[nocturne siren]

would agree with this. this event is a bit too out of scope for my taste

[winter umbra]

Mb

[hollow reef]

aight

[desert thunder]

Why can i not interact with the lanterns

[left ravine]

Apparently it can be buggy, try fast travelling somewhere and run back

[nocturne siren]

how many keys you got?

[left ravine]

Idk, I just run that event for fun

[nocturne siren]

i genuinely cannot be assed and I wanna get my investor mask back lmfao

[urban surge]

well, after 3.5hs of running around and killing kitsune groups i got 0 ronin and 6 keys, i think it is not worth the effort

cant make it since none spawned

[hollow reef]

Rip, and uh perhaps I shouldnt said that. Maybe look for it in #lfg-pc

[urban surge]

will try again tonight maybe

[slow cairn]

is there some free exotics event or tf is goin on lol

all i am gettin over and over.

[deep ingot]

noooo my steak its tooo juicyy nooooo

[slow cairn]

is there anythng rare in the drops or just materials?

[limpid agate]

And my lobster too buttery

[slow cairn]

that is impressive ngl. i just ran around lincoln memorial and got aorund 100+ keys in 20 min or so

[stray cobalt]

what do they mean with cleansing lanterns?

[slow cairn]

thats the random lantern in the world you slap for a group to spawn

[hearty sparrow]

Anyone else having their attachments removed from their guns randomly?

[indigo bison]

I opened around 20-30 Event Weapon Cache's without a single lexington in sight? Bad luck or am I misunderstanding something?

[slow cairn]

that is purely bad luck. i got like 20 of em so far back to back.

[indigo bison]

Thanks for letting me know, with my luck I won't see a single one in those 3 weeks...

[slow cairn]

idk if i can open some and drop em to you? or does that work

[formal idol]

why i still cant use?

[indigo bison]

I really appreciate the offer but you don't have to, it's a grind game so I'll continue to grind :>
Just wanted to make sure I'm not actively wasting my time ^^

[nimble spruce]

'view field research' - if you don't own the year one pass or ultimate edition, you have to complete the field research to unlock it

[crude bison]

can you get the prototype lexington in the event gear cache crates?

[kind cove]

Can I earn the raid blueprints on any difficulty retal?

[nimble spruce]

Yes but drop chances are lower at lower difficulties

[kind cove]

Oh its only a 50% chance on heroic?

[urban surge]

teach me master

[nimble spruce]

Completion blueprints are, yes - killsquad blueprints are a higher chance

[kind cove]

Yeah Im talking completion

[slow cairn]

jump too the mission and run around it. they spawned 24/7 for me. there

[kind cove]

Does that affect difficulty?

[urban surge]

k, will try later

[slow cairn]

kinda pain when you had to fight 4 rogues + 3 groups extra lol

[nimble spruce]

Difficulty affects drop chances for both competition and killsquad blueprints, yes

[blazing ruin]

🤔 quick question:
i have alejandro + striker + equalizer + overdog

i want to swap LMG to AR (not sure bighorn or chameleon) .. should i change to other set/gear?

[pseudo tundra]

nah striker works well with all 3 main automatic weapons

and so does equalizer and overdog

[slow cairn]

ST elmo most common combo with striker

[deep ingot]

Big al is good, but comes with no mods so you need to compensate for the CHC

[blazing ruin]

yeah my CHC is 60% already actually

[deep ingot]

probably sacrificed a bit of CHD

nothing crazy though

im at 55% chc 140 chd before buffs

[blazing ruin]

hmm so seem like i dont neet change gear.

then big horn or cham? i dont like ST elmo hahaha

[deep ingot]

you can stack alot of headshot dmg with the seasonal modifiers and bighorn, kinda fun

[bright trail]

iron lung

[slow cairn]

why don't you try the new weapon? first bloom.

[blazing ruin]

not get it drop yet

🥹 🥹 .. been try to farm this ronin thing

[deep ingot]

dont sleep on the lexington aswell. such a beautiful gun for strikers.

[slow cairn]

teleport to licoln memorial they spawn quite often around there :p

[deep ingot]

Matchmaking>Open world Exploration>find a squad farming event>repeat

[blazing ruin]

i heard they do this endless spawn bug .. but i play solo 😂

[bright trail]

and normal difficulty. for some everyone is doing it in heroics

[slow cairn]

for that to happen in solo simply relog each time

[indigo bison]

How does it work exactly? Do I have to let one live before relogging?

[slow cairn]

not sure tbh. i beliv after killing em you relog - tp back to where they spawn and should work?

[indigo bison]

Oh okay because that didn't work for me

[slow cairn]

when i farmed em i got a whole group and one guy kept tping back n forth from safe house to licon and they never stopped spawning lol

one point we had like 6 rouges and 4 groups of these kills squads.

[indigo bison]

Oh I was using another spot maybe that's it

[slow cairn]

then if you wlak more towards truman safe house (forest area) they spawn alot there too.

[indigo bison]

I'll remember that, thanks a lot!

[slow cairn]

to be exact. we ran around this whole pic. from - water safe house up too the line back n forth / licoln.

[formal idol]

which one do u recommend , sharpshooter ,demolition or survival? i wanted to pick gunner but its not available

only these three are available for me , cuz the game keeps asking me to choose a specialization

[nimble spruce]

Doesn't really matter, over time you'll max them all

[deep ingot]

i believe survival gives a bit of protection from elites which is helpful if your new.

[formal idol]

alright thanks both of you

just to make sure to pick the one that makes my progression easier , or rather fun

[humble rose]

any good loot u can get with this event?

[slow cairn]

check the event chest at white house.

[humble rose]

alr

[deep ingot]

like 5-6 good weapons that you'll stick with and chance for rare exotics

[slow cairn]

but most coommon is all the exotics n stuff

[humble rose]

[humble rose]

ooo might sound dumb but how do you get gear keys

[slow cairn]

kill the ronins they stroll around

[humble rose]

alr cheers

[slow cairn]

aka rogues with japanese masks

[deep ingot]

farming a unique kill squad/hunters that spawn in the open world. Matchmake> Open world exploration> find a squad already farming event> repeat

[humble rose]

does it matter which global difficulty

[slow cairn]

i'd recommend nomrla for quickest

[deep ingot]

^^

[humble rose]

alr thx

[full kestrel]

I'm currently doing the field research for the Gunner class but I'm stuck on the defeat bleeding enemies. How do I do this? (note I've returned to the game after a long break) Thanks.

[hearty sparrow]

Just so the wording is clear here, you will not get a prototype lexington

[deep ingot]

no, other guns yes

[humble rose]

any particular place to go around to find ronins or just anywhere

[hearty sparrow]

One spot I've found working the best is 2205 4375, an alley with multiple spawn doors, you run up and down the alley and as you kill ronin or squads, they will instantly spawn again in a different place in the alley

[humble rose]

alr thx

[slim elk]

drop the difficulty to normal and equip Stinger Hive

[lean hare]

what are these ?

[slow cairn]

you donate keys and earn a badge on ur arm

[full kestrel]

Thanks

[hearty sparrow]

Goes towards the community event where if enough people donate we get some cosmetics

[lean hare]

do i need to donate 80 ?

[hearty sparrow]

If you want that specific badge, yes

[slow cairn]

if you want all rewards yes

[hearty sparrow]

I like the 20 donation badge, I stopped there

[slow cairn]

doin these 40 lanterns are such a pain. each time you gotta wait for the slow kill squad to pop up ,_,

is there any tips to make em spawn faster?

[deep ingot]

10 min cooldown

[slow cairn]

per one?

oh neat we reached the 1m keys donated lez go

[lean hare]

is this even good. i keep gettin it

[humble rose]

i keep seeing the kill squads but not the ronins

[tall scroll]

does anyone know how to cut the pizza in div 2 aka target limiting via cover?

[left ravine]

Cut the pizza? Lol

[slow cairn]

is there a bug with the lanterns? i cant interact with em. looks like already are pressed but i haven't even been here?

[left ravine]

Fast travel away and run back. Supposed to help I heard

[tall scroll]

how to not die so easily and not let the whole room shoot you

[left ravine]

Positioning, utilizing high cover is key

[slow cairn]

gosh i love pestilence build. kill 1 you kill the whole kill squad lol.

[tall scroll]

Yeah i have none of that and just take all the damage. Execpt for high cover but i get flanked

[slow cairn]

didnt work. sadge ig i lost one or two lanterns.

[left ravine]

Then find spots with high cover preferably. Use decoy or turret when solo to distract

Be aware of your surroundings

[lean hare]

whats the prototype loot pool in gear chest ?

[tall scroll]

be honest, I did that stuff and I still get killed doing it.

[left ravine]

Do it again but better. Practice

[tall scroll]

yeah practice and no improvement :/

[left ravine]

Just keep at it. Did anyone link you the DPS guide yet?

[tall scroll]

my theoretical dps is not bad [12-20mil at best]. I mean i have multiple dps builds including a standard striker build and I do look the SPREADSHEET. My positioning is just garbage and i usually die/get surpressed before reaching such heights. Yes all the cores are red

[humble rose]

farming ronins in matchmaking feels bannable atp its so op

[indigo bison]

Dayum joining a group is SO much faster than solo, joined a group half an hour ago and got 50 keys now

[left ravine]

@fickle ravine You think you can link your guide for this dude?

[fickle ravine]

ignore the first section, just skip to the "not get hit" part

[left ravine]

Thx

[bright trail]

even with that i have 0 prototype

[humble rose]

yeah i just wanted lex, the prototypes i got are unbelievably bad

like <1% better than the non prototypes

[tall scroll]

thanks that is exactly what i looking for

mostly i need that garbage diagram

[fickle ravine]

the garbage diagram™

[left ravine]

Lmao

[indigo bison]

Killer is the go to perk for Lexington right? For a classic striker build?

[left ravine]

😭

[deep ingot]

yes

[fickle ravine]

killer for solo
measured for groups

[atomic barn]

proto cant optimize?

[paper pier]

+anyone noticed reducing the max amount of the stash slots?
I have just 450 now, was 500

[pseudo tundra]

you joined someone who didnt have brooklyn

so game bugs out a bit

you still have the items, just might need to fast travel to another zone like NY or brooklyn then back

[paper pier]

ok ty

[fickle ravine]

yes, can't optimize

[last jackal]

So I’ve done all lanterns but it still gives me 37/40. anyone else having this issue on Xbox?

[junior zephyr]

why can't i interact with the counter measures console in countdown😭 anyone with the same issue?

[atomic barn]

so my first bloom will stay at 50% of the stat huh

[fickle ravine]

yes

on an unrelated note, interesting pfp

[stray cobalt]

hello you cant donate the 80 keys anymore? I dont have the option anymore

[left ravine]

Yes you can donate keys to the community

[tall scroll]

would you believe me that i was able do heroic and Master mission with some leggy content with my garbage positioning? Also this would likely boost my survivability (mostly the positioning thing)

[atomic barn]

so you like armpit huh

[fickle ravine]

I only noticed the character

[junior zephyr]

why can't i interact with the counter measures console in countdown😭 anyone with the same issue?

[atomic barn]

https://giphy.com/gifs/dexter-suspicious-aniflicks-21VTFJTEr1x9ortvO3

[fickle ravine]

heroic is, to be blunt, piss easy
as for the latter two idk

[atomic barn]

i did retal heroic solo, for me its kinda hard. i got problem with the ambush when trying to take the CP

[fickle ravine]

I just use iron lung. makes heroic retal boringly easy

[tall scroll]

who is retal again?

[atomic barn]

retaliation

[fickle ravine]

john retaliation

[atomic barn]

yea i was thingking i should use some CC gun or something

[tall scroll]

I can usually destroy them with my striker build or some other bs build i have. I just got hit a lot. I think clear them. cannot remember. Honestly, I do not do them as i find them kind of meh. good loot though

[atomic barn]

iron lung work with striker?

[atomic barn]

i can clear them just hard to do it lol. i need to do retal since i dont have all the mod bluepritn

[fickle ravine]

iron lung is basically like st elmos but better and in LMG form

[atomic barn]

well time to reroll then

[atomic barn]

cdc or chd?

[fickle ravine]

LMGs want CHC

[summer harness]

Anyone know how to unlock the doors to the National Building Museum? Trying to to tag the latern in there but the doors are closed

[manic reef]

i added my low level friend but i cant see him in the social tab is there anything i should know like anything he needs to complete? hes lv 2

[full kestrel]

How do you get event keys? I've been taking down Kitsunebi squads but I've had no event keys drop. Thanks

[sick stream]

nope. in a dev stream few months ago yannick said any bug or exploit we find we're free to abuse it till it gets patched because ultimately its their fault not the players. i can try to find the exact stream and exact timestamp if you dont believe. (this is my paraphrased wording not yannicks exact words)

[main viper]

current best way to get field recon? Im thinking either retaliations or shd farming but not sure

[bright trail]

no way they are banning RogueGold

also this is not an exploit imho. People just playing how they supposed to play

[deep ingot]

yeah yeah, everyone clearing all of the event within 2 hours of a 3 week event isnt an exploit in anyway yeahhhh.

theres many takes on it, at the end of the day. all that matters is that you are having fun.

[bright trail]

clearing ? this is a continous grind. opening a protoype is 0.5 percent chance. That is 1 in every 200 keys

[deep ingot]

bro. they buffed prototype drops in missions i ran 1 t5 mission and came out with 12 protos.

[bright trail]

so. what is the problem?

[hearty sparrow]

Well the obvious conclusion is if your goal is prototypes escalation is the resounding better option

[deep ingot]

words cannot explain if that's your mindset

[bright trail]

you are killing your own argument. the stuff they gave in this event most people already have.

[deep ingot]

go off king, keep grinding that 0.5%

[hearty sparrow]

Sorry if I missed some messages, he's getting banned? for what

[bright trail]

what i meant was if they will ban people who are farming keys, they would ban him because i learned it from his stream

[hearty sparrow]

Ahh

Well I think it would be disastrous if they started banning players over something that is achieved through playing the game normally.

[bright trail]

exactly my point

[lofty arrow]

Ironlung is the lmg just sets everything on fire right

[cosmic marsh]

Hello guys
can anyone help me get the quickstep pistol please?

[vital nest]

Hey my friend got a prototype oh carol, worth

[fickle ravine]

yes

[sick stream]

nobody's gonna get banned. I'd argue hard wired tempest glitch was much worse than this and i dont think anybody got banned for it

[vital nest]

Btw do we know if difficulty matters for key spawns?

[lofty arrow]

What ban are we talking about

[deep ingot]

i got snow machines and the sleigher, both turned into cores instantly lmao

[sick stream]

some people feel farming keys glitch could result in a ban

[vital nest]

Still waiting for that legendary prototype cooler

[vital nest]

Should have waited for double materials next week to scrap them

[deep ingot]

👁️ 🫦 👁️

[deep ingot]

they buffed the escalations so hard i couldnt be bothered. almost 10 a run now

[vital nest]

Oh that’s great

[bright trail]

no, normal is the way to go

[lofty arrow]

Judging by the messages above I’m assuming getting banned for this is unrealistic
So what’s the key grind method

[deep ingot]

#rules 6

[lofty arrow]

Bollocks

[deep ingot]

wont get banned, but talking about it in discord in a no no.

[lofty arrow]

Dm it if possible

[rugged stratus]

Yeah just drop exploit shit

[deep ingot]

Matchmaking>Open world exploration> find a team farming the event>have fun, enjoy the event.

[lofty arrow]

I guess that’s the safest way you can say it
Alright thanks

Is there a setting for joining a event farm group or do I just keep hopping open world explorations until I find one

[deep ingot]

just keep hopping

[lofty arrow]

Just keep hopping

[oblique fjord]

So far many ppl are doing it, even joining low shd groups they know how to run it

[supple bane]

with the new 1.5 skill tiers if is a range (1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5) or just either 1.0 or 1.5?

[lofty arrow]

Does the difficulty level matter

[oblique fjord]

Doesn't seem to matter much

[lofty arrow]

Aight bet

[dapper root]

to a degree from 50% on normal to 65% on heroic for Ronins

[oblique fjord]

For that 15% it ain't worth it

[dapper root]

just 1.5

[oblique fjord]

On normal they are so easy to kill

[supple bane]

okok. so skill builds handle proto upgrade better then?

[dapper root]

so it seems
