The humble improvised gloves, knee pads and holster
Jk nobody uses those
I'm getting this:
I have the same, cuz I have all available blueprints
Nope, just wanted to see where you find the priority objectives
I didn't even know about that until today
Ah I see. Well that's nice!
Yeah you can craft them and they take a mod but they have no brand bonus
Is there even any application to that?
PFE maybe?
No idea, only reason i could see would be for some poor man’s PFE build or something
Only useful for PfE builds, yes
But it caps at 80
Are there other sources of PFE besides the mods?
And cool mask takes 2 gear mods but has an attribute less
Oh the seasonal thingy
survivalist perk, gives 10% too
Where do you even use a PfE build?
they nerfed 5.11 and removed the PFE brand bonus, never forget
I knew I wasn't going crazy, I swore there was a brandset bonus that was PfE
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
mine is just equipment
It says equipment after you accept it, compare the pictures above
But you still get the exotic at the end
Got a dread edict 
i picked the wrong oner
You can cancel it, but only once every 1 hour
yep already canceled it too 🙁
Just try again in an hour, you get 3 rerolls daily and one cancelation every hour
Like if all 3 options suck go for 1 of the 3 rerolls
can you do me a favor?
Or you can try completing whatever you got
What’s up?
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
Best place to do that at would be #td2-build-advice
Can I make new boosted 40 characters to put shd into printer filament to max my expertise that way and then delete them?
Nah levels are shared
rip
But 150 more stash space for each, just make them hold some extra exotics as you wait for that expertise surge event
Is the vault shared across characters?
Sure is
oh I've been dismantling
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)
How much proficiency does one exotic progress when you donate it?
Do not donate them as junk for proficiency if that’s what you mean. Otherwise it’s 10 levels like anything else
Mark them as junk
So what do you mean when you say hold your extra exotics for the event
Exotic components you need for like everything upgrade related later on after expertise 13
During expertise surge event, whenever it comes, 1 exotic = 2 components
Wait so even high end gear or just exotics require that?
Oh right
Everything, even skills, anything past level 13 starts needing exotic components
Now I see why they are so sought after
Save this for reference
Anything but past level 13 and that’s how you exactly get your exotic components
Might have to dip my toes into the Collab event and alt characters farm
So to prototype something you need 45 exotic components, a prototype core and to donate a liver
Jesus christ
I’ll be darned
That’s why it’s nice to save them on multiple chars and wait the expertise surge event
Yeah i did it, even got a hollow mask out of it with all the named caches
I haven't learned much about escalation, how rare is the drop for cores? I imagine it scales with the tier
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
No idea, i hear 5 is the best
Already got my weapons crafted but finding exotic components for one of my weapons that I’m using is hard to find
So i buy that every time on a new character, and I'm good
Yea costs like 17 lol
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?
That’s your choice to do so
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?
Did you ranked up to level 30?
I dont mean the specialization crossbow I mean the new exotic
The only crossbow in the game is the specialisation one
How do you do the new manhunt this week?
What's worth spending the red stars from the SHD exposed event?
Depends on the player and their progression
I'm around lvl 350, started playing 2 weeks ago
exotic compenents are always nice to have
Can someone pls explain how the SHD exposed event works
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 ?
Not really unless in PvP
Then not gonna waste time farming it
Is striker just the best gear set?
for raw DPS yes
and depends where you will need such damage
you can use eclipse to clear entire rooms even in heroic faster
Xbox here, can’t seen to connect to servers atm, was just in middle of escalation and got booted and can’t get back in, anyone experiencing this?
yk all the named items with camos, do you get the camos after getting the gun or?
@nimble spruce
KILL
the skins are tied to the named weapons, i.e. only Stage Left can have the Stage Left skin
awh, bummer
There are some that applicable to specific weapons and their named variant
but those are in the apparel shop I believe
So I currently have a striker dps build and I’m not sure what shd tec I should run with the shield any idea
So... its there any other use for Sakura keys after reaching the goal (getting the ronin "uniform") other than the caches?
Reviver
If you care about arm patches, the community cache, otherwise nope
gear caches ot see if you get some proto gear
In order to activate the new global event, the shd exposure or whatever. I can't use modifiers?
Correct, you get one or the other
So on a boosted character how do you go about getting all the SHD tech you need to unlock all the skills?
for a heartbreaker set, does Forge 50% shield health or incoming repairs help with HB bonus armor? or should i swap to fox/turmoil?
by knees i mean another holster
Forge only adds 50% BASE shield HP to things. It's pretty useless
Thanks
White House Quartermaster
Coop Dennison
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
Is it more effective then First Bloom?
I mean that's comparing apples and oranges
oh I thought First Bloom was good for chungas and dogs due to Dmg based on health pool
I mean it's not bad and those enemies do make the most of First Bloom
but first bloom plays like the AR it is, Ravenous's effect is more of a swift burst of damage
is M1A still BIS for rifle build (apart from HH build)
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
shield is not bonus armor, incoming repairs also doesn't help, cuz you're not really repairing/healing
do the proto gears on the blossom gear caches only appear when the player is 30 expertise or can they appear with out it?
Is there a good way to sort and search for gear mods? I want to filter out mods that have a low score but its a pain scrolling through all of them
do we have a list of the legacy season cache items for this event?
Every item from before this season can drop
Some items however seem to have higher drop chances over others
Was Sheriff recently changed? I feel like the crosshair is a bit larger than before.
Nevermind, I think it's the difference in weapon handling between my gearsets
It was bugged I think with being in cover or something, but should have been fixed this season
mission with big sattelites
is there really no way to one shot a hyena rusher?
I dont think you can oneshot any unit who has helmet plate in general. Mostly tanks, hyena rusher, and true sons heavy.
A bit pain in the ass.
you can oneshot them but you either lose headhunter, determined, or both
like swapping to shotgun
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
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 ?
CHC
the diff was that clear ?
the math on it is hard to quantify
It's not, really
not headshot brother, HEALTH dmg
DtH not HD lol
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
It would be additive with the Hollow Man mask, you gain more from CHC to increase CHD
currently with hollow man prototyped im at 31% health dmg total
something to chew on
youd think someone prob wouldve said something too if dth was the better choice compared to chc
the hollow man is meta for T10, health dmg is important, the benefits from CHC on lmg is obvious, and I know they both can clear T10's just trying to minmax the build
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
INF have you tried core strength?
Partially. Not a fan
i know hollow man is better, my statement was talking about the third stat on lmgs.
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
in any other content the choice is obviously CHC on an lmg to me
thats a very expensive test, I thought maybe someone had already done it
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
mine is hahaha
proto?
you can probably just plug the numbers into a calculator to get an idea
Like I see the appeal to it but compared to strikers it just doesn’t hold up
oh i mean if you want i can just hop in the range rq to give you some quick numbers
hmm how do u wanna do this? mirror builds ?
yea mirror
sure lmk how im down
yea just send a sc of your pieces
there will inevitably be some differences because of protos tho, something to keep in mind
not all stats may be the proto max
all we need is to remove all red cores
we dont need to be proto to test
It doesn't hold up in general to any clean build in PvE
sure just lmk what youre testing with
just need to calculate the Gun itself hitting health target
and ill see if i can get the same
join my session ?
They either need to buff the backpack or do something with it
I was even using the chest and it didn’t feel worth it like at all
whats ur ign
okay
Think ima try messing with it a little more to see if I can get more out of it
Thinking technician and Ninja but
Mostly a nothing burger for myself when I’m use to 400k a shot or even 800k-1 mil with crits
oh
Fun fact: the entirety of the WONY map is the little bit down the bottom, if you want some scale.
here's a clearer NYC map.
uh huh
thx for the tests
ye np, I learned some too
have gn sir
🫡
The chest and backpack just doesn’t do a lot sadly
Other builds have WAY better options for either and then has free access to Odogs as a cherry on top
The armor is there but being out of cover gets you killed in seconds
anyone know why i cannot recalibrate ?
and its not only that 1 armor, but all armor i cannot recalibrate
😂 true.
😂
my equalizer has 9.1% weapon damage, 4.1% crit chance and armor regen should i bother trying to salvage this or just painstakingly wait for another equalizer drop
Use it till you find a better one, wouldn’t optimise it unless you’re stacked on mats
also is the most efficient way to farm agitation doing like heroic strongholds or would it be faster to do something else?
daily agitations if not just strongholds
a stronghold a pop is like 120-140 bar from experience, 2 of those johns always overclock me to 3
ok thx, im trying to farm for eagle bearer and overdogs blueprints and my daily agitation is for true sons so thats kind of a miss 🥀
It’s time to spam tidal basin baby
I took a break from the game last month, is it possible I can finish this event completely still? 😅 (cherry blossom)
Yeah, it's still ongoing for another week or so I think.
alright sick, didn't think all like what 80 keys was possible?
dunno
So got the game and hit level 40- theres so much to do, what should I do next?
Check the pinned messages, there's a lvl 40 starters guide
How does the Cherry Blossom Event work in total?
Apparently the yee yee ahh strikers guide is already included in Level 40 starter guide.
smh my head
Why can't I get the lantern outside the attic safehouse in west end?
The squad is somewhere nearby.
You likely have a kitsunebi spawn due, go spawn & defeat them, then come back and try again.
hmmm, maybe im on the wrong side of the area? I don't see them
Travel to somewhere they easily spawn (eg solar farm CP or Jefferson trade centre)
oh they wouldn't be like right around the corner?
even a pending spawn blocks the interaction with other lanterns
so just run around until they spawn and then defeat or evade them
does anyone know a fix for the apparel dyes, i just tried a different color on my bag and unequipped it. everytime i log in or swap loadouts (gears) the bag would be dyed again
so I see, I can run around and get my lanterns roughly until every 10 mins they spawn
No, the 10 minute timer is for a different kill squad, but they can intervene with your "lantern" kill squad from time to time.
Usually the lantern kill squad spawns after interacting and running around for a few seconds and isn't linked to the 10 minute timer..
I see
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
this is what I mean by intervene, just run around a bit more until another squad that is tied to the lantern will spawn
after defeating/evading you should be able to interact with the lantern again
I don’t get it? I did, the kitsune squad spawned, I killed them. Still no lantern. 🏮
Am I missing something?
If you kill the kill squad from the 10 minute timed spawn, it doesn't count for the lantern, you need to kill the kill squad that is tied to the lantern interaction.
Visually there is no difference, just kill another one and you should be fine.
but if I can’t interact with the lantern how can I get to kill that squad?
there’s no E button
there is one waiting to spawn, which blocks the interaction
I had that issue and so I went into random activity matchmaking and done it on the persons world I joined
I get that but that’s where it says Kitsune squad spawned at the top of my screen no?
oh nice
No.
I had to do 3 like that for some reason 😭
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.
#server-status message
Could mine be bugged? I’ve done 4 before this and nothing has happened. Just interacted and left.
I did 2 accounts like that and it worked fine for all 40 lanterns, even helped out another guy. Just go back to the lantern you interacted last and run around in that area.
How should it look like? Just people walking around?
You know what pending means, right?
is there an actual menu thing for it?
sorry this is my first event
You can't see that pending spawn, you just need to run around in that area with the lantern you last interacted with and wait for them to spawn.
oh last interacted with mb
if I didn’t get a spawn at all should I go to the first lantern or last?
the last lantern you interacted with
if you want to force a squad to spawn, National Bond and Lincoln Memorial + The Shop safehouse have proven consistent spawn spots
@indigo arrow Chameleon has a high drop chance from any Bounty Named Enemy, regardless of Targeted Loot.
Do a bunch and you'll get some.
Anyone know how i can change this call for backup shortcut? Or get rid of the option completely
Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible, but afaik it's a temporary thing for the cherry blossom event
Yeh i dont want to change my loot button as it is the same and i call for backup by mistake all the time lol
i mean when im looting because its the same button it calls for backup
sometimes u dont notice it until its already happened
I mean, I always keep an eye on my HUD, for the Hunter fuzz.
its calling for backup on noobies not the hunters or the ronins
Yes but also I want to get all the lantern for keys. I need 125 keys total and all the lanterns I thought?
Oh the idea with mentioning that was that if you're at a lantern with a squad spawn pending, you force spawn the squad at one of the locations listed above then travel back to the lantern you were at
Oh. So I just need one to spawn in general
I get the VFX drops from the Ronins right?
I think it's the same key as your interaction key, FYI
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
It can wrap back around to being positive
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
It happens in longer missions with
So his is around 2.5b and mine 4? Not sure how it works
Oh I misunderstood
Lower negative numbers are higher
It counts back down to 0 not up
Explains why i heard some on escalation having their damage go back to positive lmao
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?
It's also all over Reddit
That doesn't usually mean much but it's reported often in general
All I can understand that since it's a new set it's not added as a Prototype drop or something is bugged.
it possible they were still finishing the set while working proto gear so it went through the cracks
If anything this is probably the case
Weirdly it doesn't seem to be affecting everyone, seen a couple of people reporting getting the usual number of drops in Bank today including Core Strength ones
People also said they gpt proto lex from sakura chests
Hahaha fair point
This is Manny's wife right? Isnt she supposed to be pregnant?
Question
Gears can be proto even if it doesn’t be max optimized, right?
ya
OK, thx!
didn’t she give birth
i thought manny was 56
What, and he can’t still sling it?
do any veterans have any tips for quickly sorting thru inventory for max stat rolls to not spend so much time at the tinkering station? like is there a filter option i’m missing
why do you have so many items in the inventory? i generally equip the item i am going to optimize and deconstruct the rest before start tinkering
i’m still new so i mean for when pulling stats off gear for my library. generally i play until my inventory is full and then find anything worth pulling and deconstruct the rest. it’s just kinda tedious to go through and look for all the max bars
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?
When you check via the library it will display your highest available roll to extract
ah gotcha ty
If you don't have better than what you already extracted, it will be grayed out
yeah i did find that out, just wasn’t sure if there was a sorting feature or easier way than clicking every category in my library that has a green arrow and seeing if there are any max stat pulls
Core Strength still not dropping protos?
I did a T6 and a T8 and nope. Others report that as well
nah you have to do pretty tedious menu gameplay for a bit while you fill your library out
you can just throw whatever in at the beginning and then only pay attention to pieces with crit chance/damage afterwards
You can check stats as you pick gear up and just memorise which categories you got a max roll in, mark everything else as junk
Hey! I've been out of the loop, can someone just tell me if you can recalibrate prototype attributes?
You can't recalibrate anything on prototype items
nope
only reroll augments
probably add some form of recal later from some PTS notes
i kinda figured haha, at least i don’t have to do it forever
i have only one proto (lexington) and im curious should i proto a striker gearset or weapons such as the mk46 first?
or even TS or other highend gear
Anyone knows how to unlock the legendary difficulty? I have already completed the story difficulty for this mission.
this is the manhunt not the mission
press G to toggle
this is what it looks like when I toggle the mission mode
what level are you?
You just need to complete it on story difficulty
looks like he did
Yeah, I already finished the story difficulty, it says mission complete on the top side of the photo
Well, I just need this mission for this journey 😢
Looks like it didn't count for some reason, I would try again (to be doubly sure, start the mission then open up the mission difficulty on the map and pick Story to force-restart it)
You can potentially finish the journey by finding someone else to join, but it'll be more useful in the long run to unlock the difficulties
this is the one I should re-run, yes?
Yes
Great - I will re-run and update here if it works. Thanks alot!
I have it now - thanks again!
You need a skill build for like later tiers right?
whats the best tier for proto core farming? Mostly play t10
Is the best xp farm the national bond armory even without 3x or 5x xp ?
I think it just goes back to control points bc of time
Can anyone confirm this? We have to grind the entire season with ridiculously unbalanced enemies for a minor gears stat upgrade for just nothing???
if he doesnt have a reliable souce for you hes lying
only escalation tokens expire
He looked up gemini AI 
Lol Reddit at it again
Whats the fix around not being able to expertise a piece of gear
There's no bug with that
No its BS
have you tried unequipping it
Wdym? My striker backpack doesnt show up for me in the expertise menu to be able to upgrade it?
oh expertise
Expertise or prototype upgrade?
Shove it down their throats
Thats only for proto it needs to be un-equipped
are you going in the striker tab or the backpack tab
Striker tab
and you scrolled thru and its just not there?
Well what level of expertise are you, did you reach the cap
Yea ive made my first piece proto (lexington) and was gonna do striker bp next but it doesnt show up all the other pieces do though (its not upgraded at all since I physically cant)
log out login ?
Tried that
I've seen several people reporting this. One said re-logging helped them
Otherwise Idk
I'll try again
Full log out or just character select screen
I understand it as logging out of your character and back in - so the character selection menu
Well tried logging out still doesn't appear
Well at first I thought they might not know that they can scroll down :p
But there indeed seems to be an issue about this, somehow
I haven't heard anything further about this, sry
All good i'll just have to leave the backpack for now
If youre carrying a lot of striker items it doesnt show all of them for you to scroll down. Put some into your stash, then you should be able to see the backpack on your list to proto. This worked for me.
yea i figured out it wont show more than 5
Even then… it’s only heroic scaled up.
I don't mind the token wipe, personally. It makes sense to me
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
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.
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)
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
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
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.
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.
Ok so they're just cheating good to know
Well, there are various talents and things that can increase firing rate tbf
Has any of you had issues where you’re launching an activity/logging in and your seasonal modifiers are deactivated even though you never deactivated it?
Is it just a random bug or is there something triggering it?
what's the best way/build to prepare myself for Ronin's? I didn't realize they were hunters and my Striker shield kind broke on me
That is intended. The modifiers get disabled for Countdown for instance or whenver you join a player who has the modifiers turned off. Need to turn them on again manually later on
Ah ok that makes sense! I’ve had that happening in retaliation and couldn’t understand why. Thanks !
can you activate seasonal modifiers and shd exposed at the same time?
No
I knew that being changed for the div1 crossover events would confuse people in the future.
i can hear Agent, Stuyvesant is under attack! even when im playing div 1
Hostiles are moving into Hell's Kitchen!
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)
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
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
Anyone know if the 500% melee damage would be increased on a Claws out holster if prototyped?
Well then maybe Escalations aren't for you just yet. Just a thought
Most likely 750% - always a 50% increase AFAIK
Ok thanks 👍
Not all missions I guess. I still managed to clear tier 5 last week a few times. It’s a bit trickier when you don’t choose the mission yourself.
But tier 5 is definitely my cap
Well, keep at it. Gain experience and get better gear over time and it'll be fine
does anyone know how to fix this its always like this
when i aim in
in conflict
turn off fog blur
my game also turns like that and when i turned it off it never happened again
thats been off
its only like this in conflict so idk
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?)
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.
not the community outfit?
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.
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
That sounds about right. There's also some store-only ones, but ymmv.
one more question, what did you mean by difficulty and the ronin spawn rate? what might I be able to do with just the level 40 guides striker build?
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.
It seems I get one key per squad, so I might get 50 keys ish if i've never changed my difficulty before. Maybe 60.
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
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.
Is NBA worth buying?
I'd suggest whatever edition includes the old Classified Assignments instead of 1-by-1.
On heavy sale it's real cheap.
For exp farm yes.
Cant remember what I spent 200 premium credits on back then but everyone seem to have it
It used to be only part of the Y1 Bundle
@hybrid fiber
I have 2 retaliations at 300% is one of them bugged lol?
Yeah
The other ones will likely disappear once you're done with the ones you can start
@wraith flare
is the proficiency lv 25+ just grind gear mods from count down and donate filaments ?
Most likely. Or just grind shd levels in exchange for resources.
God those scam posts are infuriating.
Are escalation bugged this week. Level 5 is crazy hard in some battles. Enemies push at you really fast in some cases
does he know
does strikers blue cores work? and i mean every piece of strikers with a blue core where as the rest of your other gear are red cores
Is there anyway to tell which lanterns you e done ? I’m 38/40 and maybe they are different colour or sound ? Think I already know answer
There is not
Yes
I kinda knew not sure what asking was gonna do
only way to check the lanterns if its not cursed since when getting close to one the music changes
Best thing you can do is to watch Rogue Gold's YT guide and re-trace your lanterns
or use the reddit map
That is pointless
Dj tickles I used to do it and best I found
There are several lanterns that are not easy to find
But what’s annoying me is how will I know that I don’t need to log in and out if I can’t interact
Maybe his is good too, Idk, but I can't listen to him. Alwasy sounds like hes chewing sth while he talks
thats because of the kitsunebi encounter near it
if you can't interact with a lantern, you need to do the kitsunebi encounter
I did it over the last 3 days with his it was easiest I found to follow . So I thought if I could t interact I had done it already and I started 12 /40
Is Bank bugged for anyone else?
Why dont you set up the chat trap channel like the one we have in Resurgence discord.
what’s the best way to get overdogs?
anyone owning an Elmo or Gearshift they dont need and might be willing to give me?
im running Countdown heroic up and down and hae no luck

What prototype targeted loot today
Years ago there was a hardcore server called DDMF, does it still exist or is there a replacmenet for a dedicated Hardcore mode server?
Is that a DPS build that this person is describing, with red cores only?
Sure, looks ok. I would argue that you don't need the bonus armor from Bloodsucker since you wouldn't get much since you're running full reds, and Striker backpack gives you so way more damage and in turn makes it so you don't need the survivability
More common that you use named holster Salvo if you want to run 2pcs Unit Alloy
Thanks

Im using the flamethrower to kill enemies, but the day 2 challenge "burn hostiles" is not counting, is this a bug?
why is there no way to see what crafting table yields? like it just says xxx mag but i had no idea there were +20 or 30 bullet mags .. anyway i can see those?
Weapon attachments are all from sidequests or control points
how do i know what are their stats its just says names?
have to google the stats, cant remember from the top of my head
i think the pin in #td2-build-advice might have them listed
thnx it drops from alert 3 Cps?
nvm its in the docs appreciate it
are healing builds scare or nah? thinking of primarily being a healer but not sure if i should drop my DPS build. i dont wanna go with a heal build and no one needs it.
are the kitchen noobies broken? None are spawning
in hard content they are quite welcome and are making a comeback in escalations, some are easy to build, less common in regular content not unappreciated
Is there a "best mode" to play in conflict? I know most games will be Skirmish, but is it possible that the other modes could reward XP, but simply take longer?
i have max out backpack weave, what should i use it for?
It's used when optimizing your backpacks
is this bellringer any good ?
i forgot about the augment
i didnt think so im clueless with the prototypes lol
Prototype or not, look at the talent and third attribute
LMGs benefit most from CHC usually
This is what it looks like, I got Delta-3 a bit after, but they are still there after relogging, cant open them either so they're just there now
I've not seen that before lol
Game was lagging while I was trying to open the caches, it took a few tries, i got my loot and these guys also appeared
Maybe try logging out again but wait a minute before logging back in
I'll give that a try, my Division or Internet, or both seem to be acting up anyway
When I first used the keys it said I got a hat, depsite opening the gear cache, it was really odd. Unfortunately I didnt have my clipping software up so this screenshot is all i have
If it doesn't fix itself by relogging or fast travelling to a DLC area you'll best create a Ubisoft support ticket via their homepage I'd suggest
Sounds like a plan, I hadnt thought abt travelling to another are yet. We'll see in a few moments i guess
I straight up respawned as dead. I think my game is cursed now
how often does Profiency Xp and SHD Xp events occur in a seaosn?
@left ravine Any reports of bank today not giving targeted loot? I wonder if it’s the mission or just the gear set
If I may - what are the apparel you're wearing? That whole outfit looks really good!
are the blueprints from manhunts 100% chance like the bluescreen one?
gear set, it was dropping before and no one said anything today
Figured good to know though just in case
You don’t get blueprints from manhunts you get blueprints from retaliation and they’re not 100% heroic is like 90% for a kill squad
this the thing
some older ones gave certain exotics as clear rewards, later they give the recal blueprint
not the construction blueprint
I did it but didnt get it
the blueprint is to recalibrate the exotic, not to craft it
ahhh ty
Thank you! Pretty sure the whole fit is Cloaked Recruiter Outfit, Walker Gloves, Theo Parnell Mask, some hat I got for textiles that I don't remember the name off but was some Agent something-something hat.
Huh. Thanks for the info! It's a good look.
Its the Agent Brenda Hat, Cloaked Recruiter Uniform, Theo Parnell Mask, Walker Gloves and Death Roll Backpack with full black dye. Just checked em all to confirm
Does Lefty's Perfect Sledgehammer DTA bonus apply to other agents? Mine has text that says "from the agent" that makes it sound like it's my damage only.
it never got fixed when Project Resolve was live, any group member will make use of P. Sledge
it's also not DTA btw, it's a unique multiplier that applies to not just armor but armor plates/helmets (the ones that chungas and warhounds have, DTA does not normally apply to these)
It does give TL
I got whatever the loot allocation was yesterday from Bank.
You did not get CS proto items tho
That's exactly what I got, they were purple with big numbers
If you got CS prototype items yesterday from Bank I had the Easter Bunny lay proto cores for me
I'm a special child, I remember getting a red core with skill damage and I got rid of it
Ohh but I remember a game before that I was complaining that I got 0 in the whole run, maybe it was in some sessions or even most sessions
you could get random proto gear, not core strenght
You guys are making me feel schizo
Does anyone know what mutator on escalation the Sandman talent on the sweet dreams shotgun cannot one tap? 🤔
Anchor
Is there any major benefits to proto gear that you would use it over gear sets?
wdym? Gear sets can also be proto
Ok thanks again 👍
If you are lucky enough sure, I am yet to hit a decent augment on them. I also mean just normal gear.
No clue what you are asking
Hi guys, what is the current most effective way to farm keys?
@brittle quarry heres the unlocks from completing retaliations
anyone having problems with escalation matchmaking, waiting above 10 mins to go into t5 no one playing t10, if i wanna join a group i have to log out and then log back in to be able to get into a group
Same here
Did you enable the global event for yourself?
yes
I found that having the GE disabled sometimes lets me find a lobby quicker
i didnt even know i did, nor do i know how to turn it off
But it takes ages in general
Idk how exactly you can disable it on Xbox but it can be found in the seasonal menu
yeah i just found it, i didnt even have it on
Lol then idk. Try turning it on maybe and see how that goes
@rose eagle You're looking for #lfg-playstation, GL Agent 
why isn't tidal basin main mission spawning for me
I have completed all invaded strongholds
the gatehouse mission has also been done, although it was a frind in my session that completed it, could that be the reason?
hold G over this to Toggle Mission Modes
anyone else using a crosshair overlay getting a ton of stutters, it was fine a few days ago

read the message please
oh i'm stupid
Thank you
hello guys are 3rd party software like crosshair v2 bannable?
not afaik
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.
I wouldn't put a ton of stock in the cherry blossom event right now as a new player, consider whatever you get to be a nice addition, beyond that, I highly recommend the Level 40 Starter guide that's pinned in the build advice channel
Don't stress over names and trying to remember the names of gear as there's also a spreadsheet pinned that gives all the information without having to be in game
Good lord, managing the inventory is a game unto itself.
Maybe I'll stick to solitaire...
It starts out that way, but soon enough, looting as junk will be the thing you do most often
You mean set looting to junk as default (I think I saw that in a video)?
Which skills can the hunters hack? Afaik they can hack drones and turrets but what about other skills?
Yes, you can do it when you pick it up
Any skill that lingers like seeker mines I believe as well
So...that means they can hack hives too? Maybe fireflies too but who even uses them??
Correct, fireflies I'm not 100% certain on but I'd imagine if they're not active they can't be hacked
I see I see, though I should probably add traps too but like the fireflies, no one really uses them so I'm not sure...
...wow we never really use them huh
I mean there's not really much of a reason to in most cases
true lol, hell I've only seen the sniper turret used in Countdown ONCE
if sniper turret wasn't so damn clunky, it'd actually be a solid skill because the damage is respectable from it
Fireflies don't get hacked. Just a bit unreliable
i place it at possible flanking spots to prevent flanks
but otherwise i don't use a single shot from it
What do you guys think about Huntsman? is it worth prototyping for high tier escal?
is the game still in Y7S3 ?
Y8S1
how many seasons are in a year
huh...
Hunters can, "hack" skills?!
yup, most of them at least. And they've been able to do it since the first game
I had no idea.
I'll have to look it up.
Man, people complain about games being boring and there is so much in these games it's overwhelming...
The can hack deployable skills
there's always that lvl 40 starter guide on the build hub
I looked at that stuff and there's so much info in there.
I know that skills could be disrupted, but they can be used against you since Warlords of New York or whatever?
nope, iirc even before WoNY Hunters can hack your stuff
There's a lot of "noise" in these games in regards to things available, take it slow, it goes from noise to an orchestra if you give it time
Hunters can’t hack anything 1v1 cause of pressure with drone and stinger hives, it’s doable with skill builds. Except the recruiter, too much scripted there to avoid the hacks imo
Whats the best way to get Big Horn? I saw a post about go to Summit 1 (on normal), reach level 10, leave lobby and then change to legendary. Kill the boss but leave 1 enemy alive, check drops (if no Big Horn), leave lobby and change to normal then back to legendary. Repeat process.
Is this still correct or there is another way? Thank you
So, I found a map on reddit with all 40 lamps for the cherry blossom event and somehow i'm missing 2. Anyway to find which specific two i'm missing without going on a wild chase?
this one in particular
no need to change difficulty once you're finished looting the boss, just repeat the process
Rogue agent is the biggest pile of shit ever implemented in escalation. 900trillions armor with 1 shot ability and 1k% explosive skills cool down. Have those fkn devs ever played their damnn game???
build issue
whats the maximum possible offense stacks
In the most respectful way possible this is a build/skill issue
atm i cant get the Big alejandro right? i searched for a bit and couldnt find anything
afaik yes you can
targeted loot or caches? (ie both)
Either or
nice one more thing where i luck will be sucking
You can grind for the blueprint from true sons retaliations if you want a more sure way
Oh sweet! Would you recommend to just reset or just keep climbing the levels since its just normal mode?
stay on floor 10
can i turn an exo/ gear piece in genral into a blueprint once i got it?
uhhh a crafting blueprint or reconfig?
yes
:starege:
??
you just replied yes, they're asking if it's a blueprint to craft or a reconfigure of an existing exotic you have
Yes was meant for both
crafting no, most crafting recipies are either world storylines (liberty, chatterbox, nemesis) or retaliation crafting blueprints
Reconfig is a case by case for the most part you SHOULD get one but the devs forgot to add some of em
and then there's regulus which Iron horse raid only
Ah okay
Has loot changed for today?
@calm harbor The reset is in about 20 minutes, check the 📌 for when it resets.
Does upgrading armor from expertise counts towards your character armor ?
@calm harbor Changed!
are there any other wiki out there thats not fandom im noticing thats outdated trying to find things
Not really but I'd recommend the spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice for a lot of useful info
@sturdy monolith no ai in the server
Hi, just a simple proto/augment question.
Do proto gear, example chest with echo augment (every bullet fired has X% to do double damage) applies to non-proto weapon?
Yes
Thank you stranger
is umbra good?
what days does danny weaver have stuff
Very good in PvP, in PvE there are better options but you can make it work.
is there any good way to farm keys now? I need 66 for the personal key donation and i'm not getting kitsunebi squad that often or it doesn't seem often and they don't always drop keys..
Hunt down the lanterns, every lantern you activate is a guaranteed Kitsune squad
once you collect all of them they refresh daily right?
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
are lanterns character or account based?
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.
I can check as well, i have an alt character i can try to run, every 10 mins just seems so slow. especially if the keys aren't guaranteed
Yeah if you are able to hijack someone's session who hasn't done lanterns, you can run this method
The shotguns, they fire 9 pellets per shot right?
8
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
@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.
does the 10 min timer reset based on when they appear or when they are killed / evaded?
Cool, so just check the clock when you kill them and then wait 10 mins
So basically once I’m down with lanterns set a timer and watch Netflix until I have enough keys?
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.
I’d probably sit in the national bond armory alleyway
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
i want those patches.
How works the new event shd expose?
how does SHD Exposed work? I'm moving in and out of cover whenever i'm at max stacks and it tags the enemies with the pulse debuff, when i kill enemies and it pulses again, is that pulsing more enemies or applying more of the debuff? or once they have the symbol is that it and any other further pulses are just to tag new enemies that spawn?
is there any way to know which lantern are left
Oh yeah, I want the patches lol
my big thing though right now is I went though this darn map of 40 lanterns and some how I have 2 left
Easy issue. Just go run it again in reverse.
Did the same, was on 39. Got lucky and found it within 5.
are echoes and collectibles character based or account based? i keep finding collectibles and echoes while running around on my alt 🤨
Hi +gu+ys how you get
hello guys how you get 40 lenterns patch in this event because I collected all of them and dindt get cat patch
Fr in reverse? I know for sure at least it can’t be Downtown West, West End, White House or 3, 4 in Downtown East as I back tracked there already. So I should check from Foggy bottom and back track from there?
It'll go faster than you think, and any that are purple but aren't it, will give you a free extra squad!
Check the commendation, it'll tell you how many you're missing.
no i have collected all 40 of them but i didnt get the patch so iam asking if there are more teps to the task
steps*
Go to progression > Commendations > Discovery > Herald of Spring
Any two lanterns that might be easy to miss in a pair on east side of the map?
why so many people are not using the global event in escalation ? it makes the game so much easier.
Are there open world hunters in new york and Brooklyn?
25 between dc and ny
How bout only new york and brooklyn
I already finished DC, got 8 ivory keys
look on yt, very easy to find
Noted
Hey all I have a question, can I still get the Lexington if I didn’t get it first time round ?
the current sakura event gear caches can give you a copy
I’ve opened so many and yet to get a single one , very disappointed
How do i get DIAMOND transceivers?
black tusk retaliations
i think its for exotics you can craft/have crafted
Is hyena retaliation thr best way to farm overdogs?
yep
Yup, those are the project exotics as Summy said.
Liberty, Nemesis, Dodge City, Chatterbox, Ridgeways, Regulus
umm what's the difference between an exotic and a project exotic?
Project exotic is just something you turn into a project to make crafting it easier to see what you need.
The specific ones I listed have a kind of 'quest' (sometimes a project on your project list but not always) where you have to collect all the parts in order to craft them for the first time. Once crafted, they'll start dropping in your regular loot (except regulus)
ah that makes sense now
They're also pretty much the only ones where you can't get the crafting blueprint from retaliations
So when I stopped getting blueprints from control points (such a shame) all that is left now is reconstructed caches/retal/descent/raid/DZ?
Got most of the retal as well
Just rikers and cleaners maybe
Safe to assume we wont get x2 prototype cores from expertise surge event (like exotics) whenever the next event comes, right? They have nothing to do with expertise correct?
yes
Ight thanks might as well scrap the garbage
Depends on the location. I was in a 10 meter squared kitchen in the Tomb with no way out. What they did was just throwing striker drones, turrets and we screwed up 20 tokens
Whats the total amount of blueprints you can get from control points? I’m just curious how long the grind is
It's long
legacy manhunts kinda pita bro
I am now on 464/698 and dont get any blueprints from control points anymore
Do you have any idea what the drop rate for blueprints is? Heroic obviously.
One guaranteed. For details check the guide I posted
One per cp? Alright, thanks very much!
EDIT: Oh it's 95% for kill squad and 50% per completion for heroic in retaliations.
well need to clarify if it was regular control points or retaliation
what legacy manhunt that worth to do?
Can someone confirm this is correct and up to date?
There are a few different infographics out there but I use this one
I’m at 410 ish so ig im almost done I’m just getting really tired of it tbh
why can't i get the community event items?
Weird are you sure you didn’t get them already?
yeah i didn't get any item
It’s all cosmetic stuff if u didn’t check there but if you did then idk
Oh classic Ubisoft problems :3
i guess
@warped ether
TY
@left ravine Screenshot 1 is before NBA, freshly levelled up augment
Screenshot 2 is combat only XP, completed NBA but didn't walk to the door to claim the mission completion XP
Screenshot 3 is NBA completed with combat XP
Mission completion XP thus must count towards augment levelling (that's why my assumption that NBA is the best place to grind augment levels was correct)
Just to bring clarity to this topic
5,300,000 XP per level (includes kill XP and other XP sources)
Are the escalation tiers permanent unlocks or do I have to unlock them again ?
They remain unlocked per season AFAIK
Are prototype high ends coded to be more rainbow rolls compared to normal high end drops? Or is it shitty rng from my end? Lol
It just gives you the impression because they drop rarely. You get the same bad rolls for other items as well
I guess so. Ive had more luck with the gearsets with the correct roll since it's only one you have to worry about... well, halfway optimized but that's a start I guess
Shit's gonna take a long time to get all the pieces you have replaced with prototype...
gets flashbacks to borderlands 2 rng
At least it's not BL3 rng 🤮
So im trying to get my expertise level up by farming countdowns, Its literally a case of running different guns and gear sets until they are proficient right? Or am I missing something
Don’t forget skills and signature weapons, you can also mark things as junk then donate them at the expertise. Can also spend materials to rank things up, too.
When you proto armour do you have to take the mod off first?
Yeah I've been rotating them too. This is one hell of a grind 🤣🤣🤣
I did because i heard things about bugs
Yeah somehow i hit 30 before 500 hours 🤣
Was Vindictive a choice for the lexington or did it just drop that way?
gotta get your attributes right
Just how it dropped
Whats right? What do i need to do
follow the Lvl40 Starters Guide and don't hesitate giving the entire guide a read
Ive been following that a little yeah
Whats better? This or using the memento, striker gloves and umbra plate carrier with obliterate talent
Kind of theory crafting a little bit
Define better, also why would you want 1 pcs umbra for?
+13% crit hit dmg and obliterate
not UI, Umbra Plate, it's the name for generic Grupo chest
ah sure, we usually name items by brand and not by ingame name but makes sense
Equalizer is strictly better, but Memento is good for solo play
i see, but i can have both, i'd just need to replace my overdogs with striker
Would the Memento be for survival's sake?
i havent got the slightest clue, im going all in for DPS
Not use BH for a standard DPS build.
so my build is perfectly fine as is im assuming?
a good DPS build should be able to melt targets.
I forget I should stop showcasing this one
your current build is the meta striker build, you don't really need to change anything except your main weapon
In this case yes, but really no point in running it when overdogs exist
best defense is offense
Memento is still very strong option.
I agree with that and I know that's the sentiment of the game, I was more curious for his case
This is why we always need context and or definitions
ye i recently gotten the memento yesterday and i wanted to see what kind of builds it would be implemented into
mg5
If you don't notice I'm not care for Overdogs priority.
yeah you just didnt care, less thinking more shooting lmao
kinda weird that i wanted to get the hollow man for so long and now that i have it, i dont really need it because my current build is just better
In escalation it's good you have to slow down so it adds up.
i see, thank you
It's all in the striker guide
Is there information on how many pellets each shotgun fires per shot?
p sure its 8
just shoot a target in the range point blank and see how many numbers you see
I swear I've only seen 4 on guns like Sheriff before.
currently wondering why you're using the MG5 compared to other guns
It’s a really good lmg, that and mk46
Memento is awesome solo, can fit in a lot of builds especially skill ones due to the skill efficiency
high rof and i think they buffed reload so it's kinda like an AR with extremely large mag
more than the RPK
Hey I can set my mouse DPI back to its original value and got no stuttering. Nice
Both points in that comment
Are there any specific ways to get assessment bundles, I googled it to show that it's more common in control points and I've been spamming those to no luck
Control Points have a 300+ blueprint pool
why can't I optimise my Gila Guard knee pads in Expertise more than 27%, while my Expertise level is 30? Anyone
send a screenshot
Like the tactical assessments?
Yes
Bounties and crafting them, the blueprints come from Control Points
Hello to all, can someone help me get the quick step please I got 🎂
why can't I optimise my Gila Guard knee pads in Expertise more than 27%, while my Expertise level is 30? Anyone
What happens when you try to hold the spacebar?
scroll down
I have them in two loadouts, but they dont show up in Expertise
the list has more than 5, you have to scroll down to find it, the ones you have equipped would have a checkmark in that list
no, not so...this is all that it shows
this is the scroll bar. it's showing you that it can be scrolled
if scrolling with mouse wheel doesn't work, try dragging that bar with left click
i see
thank you for your help by the way...
Are they in your stash
yes
That's why, pull them into your inventory
try getting them into your inventory
I meant they are in my Inventory
hey guys, can anyone point me in the right direction of a mission to complete to open the doors for the top right lantern (located in judiciary square)
https://youtu.be/x3S49a59M1E?si=l0jSCh9r_uecbIZp
Best guide IMO
yeah the door he looks back through for that lantern (29 in the video) is just closed for me, i watched another one last night where it was also open for another person
its closed for me and isnt interactable
Activate a bouny for that district but be far away when you do. Chances are you get one in that spot and the door opens.
ahh gotcha, and itll just be open after that?
For the duration of the bounty, ya
ty
Which is a commonly missed lantern, i'm going crazy finding this 40th lantern and i've swear i've ran through all 40 twice and still on 39/40
@wraith flare
whats the maximum possible offense stacks. i was able to get 65
I think it's 70, but there's a calculator you can use to mess around with combos. Make sure you max out the Active Mods to R5.
does prototype have 1.5 skill tiers yet
yes it does
Local' posted a Skill Tier 6 using proto the other day, looked like fun. Haven't had a chance to test it yet though.
whats the setup for 70 cause ive done enough trial and error. i have saturate offense +25, split defense +10, split utility +10, for 65 offense stacks
I'll post one of the charts I found, the calculator is really useful though.
oh there is a second page to the calculator, is has a way to find it
this might've been the one with 70 on it.
the calculator also says 65 is max
okay gimme a few mins to login, ill post the one i had.
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
hey there ya go.
fun buffs, right?
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.
really? how does jammer pulse kill
Hounds, drones, etc. Final area's biggest killer are those in my experience.
im using optimize for overcharge chem oxidizer. i just finished a DUA with -2000m dmg and 1b healing
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.
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
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
Ooh there is that one Augment that has a chance to lower cooldown on bullet hit?
paradox works with chem launcher too because... yes
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
I haven't memorised the names yet, paradox is weirdly meta and I love it.
Amalgam is nice too
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
@hollow widget Give it a day, 3 random will reset. I've heard that might fix it.
If not 
and by "a day", I mean like, under 6 hours.
I mean, i'd like my patch though 🙁
Doesn't this only happen if I did all 40 though?
Shouldn't matter afaik.
I see, ubi bug might break it anyways lol
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?
did the entire west side the other day and sweep east side yesterday, somehow i missed the one on judiciary square inside the national building museum and found it only after sweeping west side again xd
I apologize for how I reacted Riven, I ended up getting a reactivated lantern at the Lincoln Memorial. Thank you again.
is it just RNG for getting that last cosmetic from ronins?
yeah, that's what it seems. Each Ronin has had a random gadget for me.
what abt these challenges? do i need to donate keys?
1 key to the seasonal vender to the community chest and you can open it 3 times to get all 3 of those done
ty!
.
DSU?
what is dsu?
Sorry, district stronghold
DUA?
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
you have to kill his backpack, the red bag, once you get rid of it he won't become immune
there are certain strategies where you can one shot him but they require "ball knowledge" high knowledge
When the chainkiller is full stacked and the Nemesis is charged, War crimes happen
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)?
@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.
did all 3 bounties, activated from different areas and none of them were there. i think its something else cause the people in the videos dont have a bounty going on when the enter to get the lantern. there arent any enemies in theirs.
Question- are the blue refractor gear that drop in the Tombs locked Meaning you can’t use Tinker station on them ?
Ah, but doing missions and strongholds, does it give a lot of agitation? like worth the time?
and yes thank you, i completely forgot about bounties
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
5% for two, 1% for all three
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?
Are the NPC companions worth it?
@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.
oh interesting
@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.
The health link was the confusing part 😅 but I got some keys. Thank god for bluescreen…
If you focus fire on the tanks, the squad is basically dead if 1 or 2 spawn in.
I'm gonna miss these idiots.
And what happens after cherry blossom ends?
the world keeps functioning
Guys, why i cant start Hyena retal?
Try killing a hyena NPC
Ops
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
no
just crafting
only his head takes actual damage. his body takes no damage whatsoever and will not build striker stacks, shooting his body will count against your accuracy even. to prevent his healing and stop his pulse attack you can break his backpack, and like with other white tusk chungas you can break his chain to temporarily CC him
My thoughts watching the sniper try to shoot a drone
Watching the remaining Named Kitsu squadmembers get bodied by a random passing JTF patrol is honestly really funny.
@wanton mauve 🫂
Hot damn, would be nice if it maxed your chc
only downside is that I crafted it and all the attributes were halfway and there was no frenzy 💀
what's the talent
I got CHC on the other one, but I've rerolled the damn thing like 20 times and no echo
frenzy on both
Holy.
I aint made of proto cores bro I cant afford 26 cores per reroll 😭
I would go with Para even tho no echo
Like you can get echo on other gears tho
