Only useful for PfE builds, yes

But it caps at 80

Are there other sources of PFE besides the mods?

Oh the seasonal thingy

wispy merlin

Where do you even use a PfE build?

they nerfed 5.11 and removed the PFE brand bonus, never forget

probably brand deal with 5.11 ended xD

Currently next to inventory there is the cherry blossom event, you click that then you go to priority objectives and aim for whatever has exotic item (i prefer open world, lucky i have one so i can send a pic. Before and after i decrypt it

#

Like that’s so free, i can literally go do target practice with a minigun and earn an exotic

crimson portal
#

mine is just equipment

true dawn
#

But you still get the exotic at the end

Got a dread edict petter

yep already canceled it too 🙁

can you do me a favor?

Or you can try completing whatever you got

Can i in some what show you my gear and tell me if its crap I just want to know if i need to keep farming or if i need to stop or something else

Can I make new boosted 40 characters to put shd into printer filament to max my expertise that way and then delete them?

bright jolt

rip

vital nest
# bright jolt rip

But 150 more stash space for each, just make them hold some extra exotics as you wait for that expertise surge event

true dawn
left ravine
#

Sure is

vital nest
#

All 4 characters share SHD watch levels and stash, they also share blueprints and materials if you buy the corresponding dirt cheap blueprints from inaya

Also you can redo the events open world projects for mad exotic components with each one (and named caches)

true dawn
#

How much proficiency does one exotic progress when you donate it?

vital nest

#

Mark them as junk

true dawn

Exotic components you need for like everything upgrade related later on after expertise 13

vital nest

Now I see why they are so sought after

vital nest

#

Anything but past level 13 and that’s how you exactly get your exotic components

true dawn
#

Might have to dip my toes into the Collab event and alt characters farm

vital nest
#

So to prototype something you need 45 exotic components, a prototype core and to donate a liver

true dawn
#

I haven't learned much about escalation, how rare is the drop for cores? I imagine it scales with the tier

vital nest
#

Just remember to buy blueprints for shared blueprints and materials from inaya, sadly you need to craft weapon mods again for each char but just do the ones you want

harsh edge
#

Already got my weapons crafted but finding exotic components for one of my weapons that I’m using is hard to find

true dawn
vital nest
true dawn
#

Do you know how many exotic components the Collab event gives in total? And the average time it takes to complete them

#

I can't even remember what you have to do but I think it's just doing open world activities or control points?

harsh edge
#

That’s your choice to do so

keen horizon
#

it's just open world activities in specific spots iirc

Does anyone know if the deadlock crossbow was actually added to the game and if so how to get it?

Exotic components are useful, you also might still miss some exotics. Legacy season caches are good for certain items in terms of expertise that are hard to get otherwise, Named Item Caches are the same thing, basically. It really depends on what YOU wanna do, all those caches are great and useful

is measured assembly set any good ?

left ravine

Not really unless in PvP

green pendant
#

Then not gonna waste time farming it

hollow spoke
#

Is striker just the best gear set?

pseudo tundra
#

for raw DPS yes

#

and depends where you will need such damage

you can use eclipse to clear entire rooms even in heroic faster

So I currently have a striker dps build and I’m not sure what shd tec I should run with the shield any idea

winged epoch
#

So... its there any other use for Sakura keys after reaching the goal (getting the ronin "uniform") other than the caches?

keen horizon
winged epoch

Already got the patches.

#

Thanks ill just use what I have left lol

pseudo tundra
#

gear caches ot see if you get some proto gear

winged epoch
#

In order to activate the new global event, the shd exposure or whatever. I can't use modifiers?

So on a boosted character how do you go about getting all the SHD tech you need to unlock all the skills?

noble jackal
#

for a heartbreaker set, does Forge 50% shield health or incoming repairs help with HB bonus armor? or should i swap to fox/turmoil?

Ravenous

#

What’s so great about it

keen horizon
#

It deals amplified damage to armor plates with one side and a high damage explosion with the other, makes it great for speedslaying Tanks and Dogs

#

and the effectiveness is doubled at max stacks

#

so it shreds armor plating

serene sky

#

oh I thought First Bloom was good for chungas and dogs due to Dmg based on health pool

keen horizon
#

but first bloom plays like the AR it is, Ravenous's effect is more of a swift burst of damage

serene sky
#

is M1A still BIS for rifle build (apart from HH build)

keen horizon
#

I think so outside of breaking point, the build advice channel gurus would know better than I would

it might even be BiS for BP

do the proto gears on the blossom gear caches only appear when the player is 30 expertise or can they appear with out it?

Just trying out a core strength build

It feels like nothing compared to strikers lol I know the point is like being a hybrid build but damn I do like only 100k to 400k in crits

I guess I will forever be a slave to the striker stacks

tiny flint
#

question for the sweats in T10 escals, im torn between rolling Health Dmg or CHC on my MK46, who tried both and got more value from one or the other ?

left ravine
#

CHC

tiny flint
left ravine
#

Yes

#

You can use the HSD seasonal modifiers if you want HSD. LMGs need CHC

tiny flint
#

the math on it is hard to quantify

left ravine
#

It's not, really

tiny flint
left ravine
#

DtH not HD lol

tiny flint
#

acronym not important, just want the math behind T10 meta

#

feel CHC will open up my build to add so much more crit hit dmg, but health dmg is so good where it counts

left ravine
#

It would be additive with the Hollow Man mask, you gain more from CHC to increase CHD

tiny flint
#

currently with hollow man prototyped im at 31% health dmg total

left ravine
bleak oracle
#

youd think someone prob wouldve said something too if dth was the better choice compared to chc

tiny flint
#

I have also seen ppl with both rolled on their fully optimized striker proto builds, Im just trying to see which one edges the other or maybe they are almost equal

hollow spoke
left ravine
#

Partially. Not a fan

bleak oracle
#

i mean this is with 2 of the same weapons with a diff third stat anyway so if you want conclusive results just craft one to prototype and test in the range

tiny flint

no matter, its not that important, again its just minmaxin

maybe you can ask some of the ppl you see with dth rolled on their lmgs next time then

def odd but I killed the Kitsunebi squad that JUST spawned and still can't get the attic lantern but who knows. This map I found on the D2 reddit isn't accurate it seems

oak gazelle

after defeating/evading you should be able to interact with the lantern again

Am I missing something?

oak gazelle
#

Visually there is no difference, just kill another one and you should be fine.

hollow widget
#

but if I can’t interact with the lantern how can I get to kill that squad?

#

there’s no E button

oak gazelle
#

there is one waiting to spawn, which blocks the interaction

lone haven
hollow widget
lone haven
hollow widget
oak gazelle
# hollow widget I’m more confused now.

You interact with the lantern, it triggers a kill squad, but it doesn't spawn right away, it awaits an opportunity to spawn, based on the zone and view direction of the player, as long as this pending spawn isn't cleared by spawning and defeating/evading it, you can't interact with the next lantern.

#

We've seen reports of lanterns not being interactable. This usually means a Kitsunebi encounter is still active or pending nearby. Complete that encounter before activating another lantern.

How does this negative damage work again? I thought his negative being higher than mine would earn them the star but i guess not. Does it start high and go back to positive? || third guy was trying his best ok? ||

Oops thought i hid the name. Reuploading

mellow trout
#

At which point it forgets previous damage which is why other people can have the star even if they actually do less damage

the lower negative getting a star means they're further along in the second lap, so to speak

Explains why i heard some on escalation having their damage go back to positive lmao

copper plover
#

Core Strength not dropping from today's targeted loot is it because it can't be farmed as Prototype and can only be converted?

#

If it is bugged that means if it shows up another day it won't drop there either? Like the set itself can't be dropped as Prototyped?

mellow trout
#

?????

#

What tier are you playing on

copper plover

Tier 7, 6 , 5 tried all these

#

friend also confirmed it

It's also all over Reddit

#

That doesn't usually mean much but it's reported often in general

copper plover
#

All I can understand that since it's a new set it's not added as a Prototype drop or something is bugged.

pseudo tundra
#

it possible they were still finishing the set while working proto gear so it went through the cracks

mellow trout

If anything this is probably the case

also why do some stats have the orange arrow at the end but the bar isn’t full?

because they are better than what you have in the library but not max?

The token cost/reward thing is annoying though, starting from zero tokens, if you're playing solo, you have to do each tier in turn from 0 in order to unlock the higher tiers

pastel rampart
#

Hey, yall is there such a thing as a division 2 tester or am I being gaslit? A tester on the official version not the public beta testing version.

nimble spruce
#

There's an 'elite task force' you can occasionally apply to join, think they maybe get some early access to test stuff.
Mostly no though, just the public test server that is occasionally available (usually just a weekend before a new season drops)

pastel rampart
#

So it's a separate version from the official game? Not one already tied into the main version where they can see player loot chances, prevent drops, or have increased shooting speed? @nimble spruce

nimble spruce
#

Yeah never heard of anything like that

#

The pts runs as a separate game, uses a copy of your character save, gives you access to a few handy caches full of blueprints, crafting materials etc but that's about it

pastel rampart
#

Yeah that's about what I know about the pts. Wasn't sure if there's an actual separate thing part of the official version.

nimble spruce
#

Nope, if someone is publishing loot drop chances that's usually a result of data mining (against the rules of this server and the game TOS). Increased shooting speed would just be cheating in some form.

pastel rampart

Are there any missions that are recommended to do or avoid for escalation?

Just got into the bank headquarters and the last bit was pretty aggro, they all rushed us and we wiped (only tier 4). The missions last week felt much easier (the ones that I’ve done at least)

left ravine
#

Well assuming you finished all main missions you should know the rough layout and what to do. Then you could estimate for yourself which ones to run or not

muted dew
#

Yeah fair but some missions I’ve only run once or twice so don’t remember the layout well.

This one didn’t have a lot of options to fallback/rotate when they all pushed us at once. The mission where you have to disable the rocket launcher at the end (can’t remember the name) from earlier this week/last week was more forgiving in that way. I probably need to re run all missions to get more familiar with them

What's going to be my best/fastest way to get 100ish keys from the cherry blossom event solo? the hunters are my most troublesome part.

#

(I haven't done ALL the lanterns yet, like 5 so far but will that help?)

inner tendon
#

You actually need 110 in total to get both the Community and Apparel Cache's maxed out.
As for spawns: squads drop rates are buffed by difficulty, ronin's have a 100% no matter what.
So doing the 40 Lanterns are a great start, and a squad also spawns every 10 IRL minutes.

#

Don't stress too much over the community cache, you only need to donate 1 key to open all 3 tiers of reward, which you can right now.
Donating 80 gets you literally just 4 arm-patches. Nothing else.

hollow widget
#

not the community outfit?

inner tendon
#

Only need 1 key to "unlock" the community cache.

#

the reward goals have been met by the community overall, so just go open it, then if you can't again, give it a bit, relog some, and try again.

hollow widget
#

so 5 outfits from the apparel cache, 6 including the community one, then 4 patches from the milestone? then 4 gadget skins from ronin drops

#

I think if I looked at the site right

inner tendon
#

That sounds about right. There's also some store-only ones, but ymmv.

hollow widget
#

fair enough, oh! and the creator projects

#

oh man, i'm going to have a busy 5 days

hollow widget
inner tendon
#

The kitsu-squads that spawn, their drop-rates for keys are buffed by what difficulty you're on, but not Directives.
Ronin spawn after every couple of squads, and are basically Hunters that guarantee 1 key drop.

hollow widget
#

I've encountered I believe two Ronins but got destroyed by a seeker mine one due to the emp taking out my shield for striker

inner tendon

The kitsu-squads actually share a health pool, they're much easier to nuke out than they seem.
If a tank spawns, focus fire on that and you'll kill most of the others, or at least nearly kill them.

Any tips for getting the most out of the Cherry Blossum event?

I'm kind of a newb/casual gamer so I barely know what is going on.

I got the costume, and donated 03/80 Sakura keys.

I probably won't have time to grind for that much more before the end of the event and the option to buy keys seems to be gone.

Also, trying to manage my inventory/stash.

I vaguely remember from years ago that exotics are good and Striker is a good set.

I feel a little overwhelmed by looking at crit, gear, skills, named, levels, etc. and I get confused by what means what or pouring over all the names of what I should look for, etc.

Sorry to hear that bro, you'll either have to get lucky and find someone willing to do lanterns on their session that hasn't completed the lanterns, or do a squad every 10 mins

That exact question is what I'm thinking about right now, I'm gonna give it a test. I'll join someones session and try to see if I can activate a lantern and get a squad, I've completed the lanterns already but it might be character based. If you have another character you can go test that but I'm not sure if you can transfer keys between accounts.

What’s the best way to farm keys right now? For Sakura? Or am I just running around for 10 hours over the next 4 nights for the 60ish keys I need

inner tendon
#

@hollow widget The kitsu-squads spawn every 10 IRL minutes, with a Ronin spawning every few squads, about 5 for me but ymmv.
Squad drop rates for keys is based on difficulty (not Directives), Ronin have a 100% drop chance.
I'd suggest you pick a spot where you can consistently fight them at an advantage, and use that area. To guarantee a win on Heroic, for your highest drop chance.

half karma
#

does the 10 min timer reset based on when they appear or when they are killed / evaded?

inner tendon
#

Killed yeah.

#

I set a clock and its pretty consistent.

half karma
#

Cool, so just check the clock when you kill them and then wait 10 mins

hollow widget
#

So basically once I’m down with lanterns set a timer and watch Netflix until I have enough keys?

inner tendon
#

If you're playing on PC, you can set an actual timer via the windows clock. Just start it when the last one dies to give yourself some leeway for game hiccups.

#

Remember to focus fire on the Kitsu-squad tank(s) if one spawns, since they share a health pool.
and Ronin are just Hunters.

hollow widget
#

I’d probably sit in the national bond armory alleyway

inner tendon
#

I prefer Final Epiphany Safe House, but yeah whatever works best for you.
Just make sure you're on Heroic, and nearby locations are all green. Will speed you up overtime since less enemy patrols.

#

Just to be clear: you don't actually need to max out the Community Cache to get the cosmetic rewards. Getting to 80 keys just gets you 4 patches.

#

You can open it for the whole outfit in bits right now if you donate 1 key

half karma

inner tendon
#

okay gimme a few mins to login, ill post the one i had.

livid bear
#

i lied. i had the optimizer set to 65, so it was only finding +65 builds. once i set it to +70, i was able to get one. Saturate defense, invert offense, saturate offense

inner tendon
#

hey there ya go.
fun buffs, right?

livid bear
#

well the saturates make me get no bonuses, but being +70 offense stacks my optimize/overload is at a cooldown of 20 seconds with an uptime of 9s

#

and since i have no saturate utility, im getting +20% skill damage on top.

#

ty for the calculator

#

I used that combo to nuke the entire final area of Tidal Basin Leg' with my Jammer Pulse the other day.
basically wall to wall, was magical.

livid bear
#

really? how does jammer pulse kill

inner tendon
#

Hounds, drones, etc. Final area's biggest killer are those in my experience.

livid bear
#

im using optimize for overcharge chem oxidizer. i just finished a DUA with -2000m dmg and 1b healing

inner tendon
#

Yeah the damage loops around a few times in the high-end stuff these days. It's pretty fun.

#

Just in case you didn't know, the star on each stat at the end screen says who actually did the most of any stat, but as long as people actually trying it's all good.

livid bear
#

yes i knew, i just saw a video where the guy had echo or sum on his prototype gear which gave him infinite oxidizer ammo. looked so cool

inner tendon
#

Echo is just a chance for extra damage. Infinite oxidiser sounds a bit like maybe just the cooldown Modifier maxed out.
pretty great, seasonal stuff is a lot of fun,use it before it's gone!

that's paradox

inner tendon
#

Ooh there is that one Augment that has a chance to lower cooldown on bullet hit?

wispy merlin
#

paradox works with chem launcher too because... yes

livid bear
#

sorry i dont have prototype so im not sure of the augments. shooting your gun has a chance to return a bullet to the mag

inner tendon
#

I haven't memorised the names yet, paradox is weirdly meta and I love it.

i've now walked through all 40 lanterns 3 times, and i'm at 39/40. What could I be doing wrong?

#

Could be a bug

inner tendon
#

@hollow widget Give it a day, 3 random will reset. I've heard that might fix it.
If not div2shrug

#

and by "a day", I mean like, under 6 hours.

I mean, i'd like my patch though 🙁

Shouldn't matter afaik.

Yeah I'm done with this.

Sorry. I'll try it again tomorrow, thank you.

is the boss in DSU immune to status effects and restores health on application?

I apologize for how I reacted Riven, I ended up getting a reactivated lantern at the Lincoln Memorial. Thank you again.

Sorry, district stronghold

slim elk
#

DUA?

livid bear
#

Yes. Idk how I managed dsu

#

We spend like 10 minutes on the boss and he just sits at full health. And idk if its because he has armor plates we have to go through, but I matchmade for a run and this guy kept saying that we need to stop applying statuses because he heals

slim elk
#

there are certain strategies where you can one shot him but they require "ball knowledge" high knowledge

i was wondering if I want to increase BT agitation, i just do BT stuff right (on heroic/challenging), control points is best for most gains. but what if there are no more BT control points (even after resetting)?

inner tendon
#

@robust fog Invaded Missions and the Stronghold (and Tidal Basin) increase the Agitation meter for BT.

#

Also, just doing any other faction's stuff will gradually increase BT as well.
(if you want to focus on Activities though, nearby Tidal Basin will consistently respawn them, and don't forget about Bounties.

One of my newer friends seemingly hasn't unlocked retaliations and we can't play them. Group is disbanded immediately. He cannot see a Retaliation tab.

I've just joined his session and every mission seems complete or on replay, he's level 40.

What should he do?

EDIT: He hadn't picked up his watch after finishing the game LOL.

Question- are the blue refractor gear that drop in the Tombs locked Meaning you can’t use Tinker station on them ?

Yup

#

Prototype items cannot be recalibrated. Good stuff, huh

Thx INF. Haven’t found anything worth keeping yet. Maybe I’ll put them in my mule for a while

Yeah apparently they're looking into a way to let us recalibrate. No info how nor when

Chance to get more then 1 max attribute from prototype upgrade is supposed to be this low I upgrade like 10 Lexington not a single one of them give me more then 1 max attribute

What’s new with this current event? I’ve been away for a few months

Just curious is Meret Estate for the orobourus a once a week farm?

covert escarp
#

Are the NPC companions worth it?

inner tendon
#

@covert escarp You're a season or so late, they are gone.

#

@rose abyss Yes, but you can get the Crafting Blueprint right now from running Black Tusk Retaliations and winning them, gives a chance.
Lets you craft it with Retaliation Materials.

rose abyss
#

oh interesting

inner tendon
#

@worldly escarp Special squads spawn every 10 real minutes, or 10 minutes after you kill the last one, and are "health linked" together. They have a difficulty-scaling chance to drop Keys that you can use to open caches back at the BoO (White House).

#

There's more to the Event, but that's the main farming part.

worldly escarp

#

If you focus fire on the tanks, the squad is basically dead if 1 or 2 spawn in.
I'm gonna miss these idiots.

@flat lake

#

can anyone clarify somthing for me about farming

#

if i farm retaliation for a blueprint lets say the ravenous for example and i get the blueprint for it from that could i then farm it in countdown instead of having to craft it or is the only way i can get it by crafting it then

Watching the remaining Named Kitsu squadmembers get bodied by a random passing JTF patrol is honestly really funny.
