I'd stop than gambling my entire saving of proto cores
seriously though imma prob run one escalation each with both and see what one outputs more dmg atm
How lucky people are I only have Proto Bloom :((((
My luck sucks when it comes to proto rng 😔
what does the btsu overcharge gives to teammates?
Overcharge is 2 tiers above skill tier 6.
i mean its just skill tiers to teammates ? whats the point if they r full dps and not using turrets/drones?
I'm pretty sure it increases skill haste so much it instantly resets their reviver hive.
DPS only has 0 to 2 skill tiers at best.
yeah that might be useful
Overcharged decoy is awesome. Reviver hive temp gives seven charges or so
Hey guys! Trying to obtain the quickstep pistol, do anyone have the houndsman bounties?!
Look for someone who has it in your respective LFG channel or keep opening the current event gear cache.
Thanks!
gang should i keep spending 25 cores on this lmg in hopes of echo or do the rest of my gear proto then work on echo or get another lmg and pray? (idk how yall get so many mats to spam craft gear to make the reroll cheaper
Is rerolling proto talents bugged? I rerolled 2 TP pieces to echo, switched to the item card... no echo lol. Is this a Bethesda bug?
I swear the interns at massive ain't doing their jobs
I only wasted like 10 proto cores so not a big deal but still pretty shit that they didnt test this out
So, I completed tier 10 a few times but the game still doesn't allow me to host above tier 9, despite having the token amount.
So this mishun has higher chance of dropping ProtoTipping?
nah. it is something you reach by using special talents, more like a special state. don't think of it as "2 tiers above skill tier 6"
the cooldown refresh is something unique to BTSU gloves. other OC sources do not do this
targetted loot increases the chances to drop tipping scales as prototype gear
Do retaliation control points always drop basic BP regardless of difficulty or is it the same as normal control points were u need to be challenging and up
Im a little confused with skill mods. For example, the healing chem launcher. If i put a 4% heal mod, the stats of ally healing/repair over time goes red with -minus numbers. or if i do skill haste, the cooldown goes +time
Visual bug
oh ok, so if its + it should be -, and if its - it should be +?
I've just started getting back into TD2 after years away, I notice the equipment has red/yellow/blue symbols, can someone remind me what that's about please?
is the type of roll
stuff related to defense/survivalbility is blue, damage is red, skills is yellow
so I get the same gloves for example and one pair gives me +1 on the yellow, the other +1 on the red, what does the +1 do?
well you need to read the status it has actually is
it's just to give a quick glance of what it dropped with
if you were looking for an item with crits but got just 2 blues, then you know it's not what you are looking for
Ahhh I think I get it now, thanks
Guys farm Tipping Scales protos at american history museum
What if im tired of high magazine crit based DPS?
The cost of rerolling Proto items augments is absurd
Hello, somebody having problems with matchmaking in escalation. When i try to find somebody to join, it take ages to invite me. Or nobody is playing escalation?. Im on playstation.
ge is gonna split the matchmaking playerbase
I just started Hardcore, does Reviver Hive work in Hardcore?
are skill builds accepted by the community for escalation
If you play solo, why not.
arent you able to have multiple retaliations so you can do them back to back
On the same faction, not across multiple factions
u sure? i def could be wrong but ive done it to where i think it was a true sone zone one and a hyenas
they reworked them this season, only one faction can be active
if two somehow got active is due some weird bug so it might not work properly
i could be tweaking but it was for sure like i did one zone retaliation and another got proced i cant remember if i was with someone or not
delete?
Yes
Has anyone tested the contractors from countodown vendor to see what proto rolls?
which mission is the climax mission for whiplash
hasn't come out yet
day 82803725 asking for a good exotic rifle as Manhunt reward
Can you reroll a talent on a said Proto weapon?
Nope
Might be possible in the near future but we have no info on it
does anyone have a lantern map
i found it on reddit in case anyone else needs it later
This is the best key farm, you are guaranteed a squad every lantern.
yup, even if they dont spawn immediately their spawn gets queued so you can force it like the snitch
is this normal?
?
the map is dark. doesnt always happen
cuz many times at nights i open the map and it aint dark
Yeah it's bugged, I've had that too for a while
i see
When that happened my game was also crazy dark at night, regardless of neutral lighting or not
Hi, where to get stack broker shotgun? Is it available as targeted loot?
dont think you can get it at all rn
ok, thanks!
it was the second veterancy reward, it might follow suit with lexington and appear in future events like lexington, it might not
If you back out of the map, reposition yourself, then re-open, should fix it.
Definitely a 🐛
ok
I also hate that the default emoji for bug is a worm.
I'm level SHD 76. 2 questions, can you upgrade your gun? Also on my SHD watch, what should I spend my Scavenging points on? Thanks
I hope the Lvl40 Starters Guide answers your questions
also, what do you mean by "upgrade"?
Improve your gun.
I keep getting problem with file
download Google Documents
What’s the best augment for refractor proto ?
I was thinking Anomaly and Synesthesia
Ok great
Anomaly would make sense I'd say
Reducing skill cooldown doesn't work on already deployed skills I would guess but I have not tested
I also don't know how Quantum works, how it's triggered
Synesthesia - Idk the max value, perhaps mixed with Anomaly. Nobody really tested fully maxed out Augments yet cuz everyone scrambles to get the right ones first and then having to level them up
Which takes a while with those atrociously high re-roll costs
Atomize huge grenade radius at max 120%+ extra, best for healer buffing teammates via sledgehammer
hmm which of the darkzone has less activity? i mean .. generally
All of them are pretty empty
i see..
Just save the scavenging points until you need something, or until an expertise surge or another optimization surge event so that you can get double value out of them
I didn’t know sledgehammer debuffs them for everyone, that’s nice
Sledgehammer doesn't debuff for everyone. I believe it only debuffs damage from that player specifically.
Debuffs from, like, TP or Setup is universal.
wrong, ingame text is also wrong
When Project Resolve was live, devs changed it to what you said, but then people started complaining about the nerf and reverted the changes except the talent's description
So a lot of things have the wrong description, incredible
Correct
He already made it so easy for the devs but seems like it's not important to adjust
"it's not game breaking"
NEW CONTENT > BUG FIXING
This philosophy will bite them in the butt

@somber spoke
I stand corrected.
yall any recommended builds for the bighorn? just got it to drop
is the the salvo and equilizer?
that*
Both
ima try this
does the shd level matter
I hate the name of that build 
No, why? Any build doesnt require you to be SHD level 1000 you know.
ik i meant the power
What power?
i meant the crit chance and damage
Get as close to 60% then you can dump the rest to CHD. I forgot to tell you that build is for AR in general. Not specifically for Bighorn.
Strega, Elmo, Eagle, etc. Are good with that build.
thx for the recommendation jma try it and tell you my experience
i like using OD if you plan on using the sniping mode a bit more
Which prototype augments are best for what weapon/gear type?
OD mentioned
Depends on what you want for your build
Hi guys just a quick one. How do I unlock the modifiers?
I managed to unlock 3 passive modifiers but the rest they alwylocked?
Active modifiers are locked behind journey
The rest you're supposed to buy at the recombinant bench next to the quartermaster
Thanks
omfg. i just had manny tell me hostiles are invading west end for the last 6 minutes. how do i make it stop
Do you Retaliations or cancel them
Fully upgraded echo augment contractor gloves good ... Or overdogs ... These escalations ...red enemies hide forever ♾️
tier is based on enemy archetype not veterancy
how do you get the currency to buy the mods for the recombinant modifiers
Journey and scouts
Does True Patriot work with Turmoil? I am trying to make a support debuff build.
No, I don't think Turmoil spreads any debuff at all, only damage.
Does anyone know of any Rogue Agent Patches and Backpack charms as well as how to earn them?
DZ backpack trophies can be acquired through DZ actions
Don't think there are arm patches specifically
Manhunt
Seasonal journey too
Anamoly
Like @left ravine Said
Anyone know how to get the houndsman backpack?
How do you consistently do retaliation? with the constant and persistent random squads that immediately know where you are and are aggro?
This shit is worse than max level helldivers with their patrols due to keeping the aggro on you, god damn
do you run or do you constantly fight while going to the next control point?
It's quite difficult without the seasonal global modifiers. Try heartbreaker with memento backpack for solo runs.
i usually play with a team
For echo on weapons holstered do they count?
Depends what you wanna do in the team. If there is no healer, make sure to switch to refactor with capacitor. This will keep you and others alive and all else is a war of attrition
my main issue are the random, consistent, and immediately aggroed patrols when needing to move from control point to control point
what is the solution
or do i trade everything else for pure survivability
Eliminate them before they spot you. Riot foam also works well. Now, decoy would be best in slot for those pesky kill squads.
thats... kind of the issue no? they immediately spot you once they spawn in
This is the actual point of the game mode. The entire zone knows you are coming to try and take the CPs. Its the literal idea behind the gameplay.
Not really, make sure to stay close to your team. If you get stranded it becomes difficult, especially in open areas with less cover
i get that part, the part i dont get is that they know exactly where you are the moment they spawn in without the eye warning, at least make it seem like they're searching the area for the divison
What build are you running?
4pc striker, equalizer, overdogs / exodus (all red cores) | bighorn and mg5 (killer)
i'd usually trade my overdogs for exodus for better survivability and for that "2nd chance"
When retals were like that for me I had a couple of blue cores in my striker setup and changed them to red as I got more comfortable. Or try tipping scales you have more damage from start but not as much end of a fight .
You will be fine if someone runs a refactor build. You are doing fine in the damage department.
How do I get quickstep pistol in this month ? Tried lot of countdown with pistol target and numerous sakura gear caches but no luck yet 🙁
Am I doing something wrong ?
yes bc its not in the general loot pool
Oh no. I was hoping with Sakura caches I might get like they did by bringing back Lexington in these caches
No way to respond bloody houndsman? The quickstep pistol was part of that. I just recently got back to the game and missed this event 🙁
Respawn*
Find player that has it and make them host it for you.
Got it. Thank you 🙂
Has anybody been able to confirm if muting somebody in the chat is permanent? I've been muting Chinese for weeks now but I keep seeing more.
I dont think so.
@dusk oxide The Tombs - MMRs
Manning National Zoo - Brazos de Arcabuz
Bank Headquarters - Electrique
American History Museum - Royal Works
Space Administration HQ - Hotshot
Ty bro
thank INF I js copy and pasted his stuff 😂
Turn off public chat or whatever it was called.
Rip bozo's account.
One shot build intensifies.
Hotshot and MMR are up.
Just shoot them as you go, kill them quick and move on, unless they spawn out of the way and then you can just ignore them and keep running.
They tend to spawn in the direction you're looking, so if you're looking off to the side as you run they'll spawn off to the side, look straight ahead and they'll spawn straight ahead (roughly)
It is in the sakura gear caches
So i went to zoo to matchmake escalation and i ended up in the bank. Not sure if i did something wrong but if i try to host mine it says matchmaking disabled once mission selected. Very confusing system
Did you even read the question?
If you disable public chat, you won't see chinese text any more. Unless they join your group.
Again, did you read the question?
Did you read the answer?
I did. It has nothing to do with what I asked. Did you read the question?
Good luck with your muting then.
How do people get more than 9999 of some materials? Is it multiple characters combined?
how do i claim these?
Don't buy material share blueprint, claim shd points and then buy it. But it's kind of pointless now since you can't double dip shd points any more.
You will lock yourself out of natural material gains until you spend over capped mats.
Character 1 has x resources. Character 2 (after some independent farming or SHD point exchange) gain y resources. THEN character 2 buys resource share, if x+y> cap, you can overcap.
Ok. Not into creating another char. Was just curious how it happens
Go to seasonal vendor. The tab for the event challenge (the one to donate) should have a key listed to claim the stuff. It should be noted you must donate at least one key to be eligible.
so the trick is to look behind you as you're running, got it 8)
Are you talking about American Museum the Jungle section?
How do you quickly end retalliation when its done? its counting down over a minute, do i have to just wait?
i got too many optimization resource, especially the bag and kneepad. any idea how to spent it without optimization?
I was talking about retaliations, but there are various mission sections where the 'they spawn in the direction you're looking' thing is true. Eg the first inside room of viewpoint museum (with the big globe).
is armor regen fixed on liquid engineer?
Is the Catalyst mask only from Heroic Army Terminal / farming the named NPC near (Bridge Park Pier I think) or can one target farm masks for it?
I dont see it on the Blueprint-list for retaliations, so .. I think that is your options. I was not aware it could be "farmed" from any particular NPC though...
Supposedly Charlie can drop it but A - he has to be the one to spawn (1 of 2 I think) and B - he has to drop it, Ty either way
yeah, it's locked to brooklyn so far as i am aware
Is there a way to play 2 accounts in 1 steam account? I'm trying to get the referral rewards
@blazing rose ey frying pan.
or uh, @pseudo tundra birdie.
@wraith flare Aw man do I really have to ping you all one by one?
Finally.
You can DM modmail and it pings them all
Ah ok noted.
How do I do that?
DM @bronze monolith
I see
wrong Kettle 🫖
My bad.
The pot calling the kettle a frying pan
@nimble spruce do you like drinking Tea 🍵?
I am very British that way, yes
i read some guide about Line of Sight and how to play, but i forgot about the link, do you know where?
thanks, i thought it was other link
People who watch YouTubers who’s your most watched?
good old NGN
When do I get the Sakura Keys? It seems random, sometimes I defeat a bunch of Kitsunebi forces and get nothing and sometimes I get a bunch. Thanks
Random
ronins are the ones with guaranteed drops
Today is just a slow drop day for me.
how can i get the master difficulty for potomac event center to get the tinkerer mask i did one clear on heroic but didnt get the master difficulty or the mask
did you do the manhunt version of the mission?
What is the targeted loot for early level expertise ? Like around level 10+?
perfect timing... i keep dying on Master difficulty in the Manager Mission. Do you got some tips for me or maybe a group?
You can call for backup in-game or look in #lfg-pc
If you want to dedicate yourself to grinding expertise, focus on Gearsets and Brandsets first. Once they're all done except Yaahl and System Corruption since those two sets are rarely found, look for someone who can host Houndsman bounty farm for named items. Once thats also done, farm gearmods and deconstruct every single one of them to get Printer Filaments, use it to donate stuffs that are difficult to be proficient in. Like skills or useless exotics for example.
For the gearset and brandset, i just need to feed it right? And donate too? I dont have to use the gear?
yeh, loot them as junk then donate
Thank you!
idk how to do this
Cool ill start from the top
Find hostave activity in that area, the icon is the handcuff
Is it a low chance? Im having trouble getting it to spawn
There are short guides and videos you can find
Idk, mine was instant when i got that mission, tho my control point was all green in that area
Green open world activities spawn much more often when you have captured nearby control points
Anyone know how to get the houndsman backpack?
There are 2 versions, you can still get the Bloody version of houndsman mask, backpack, and gloves if you complete the Bloody Houndsman bounty version. As for the regular one, I dont think you can get any of those pieces I mentioned.
if i was to prototype my eclipse would i get max status rolls?
Can anyone help me with getting the quickstep or the birdies backpack?
Is there any other weapons than king breaker that have perfect flatline?
I love kingbreaker but the fire rate is so slow
i believe its on the lmg Dare as well
Yeah but it can't use the LLP
Use salvo and equalizer maybe? Both incrased fire rare and assault rifle boost
Did they announce what event is starting may 12th?
not yet
Hope it is proficiency event stuck at 26 forever
How do I get the quick step pistol? Someone please help.
Kill kitsunabi and open sakura chests
Any other way? The event ends in two days 😭
I have houndsman bounty . You can get it that way
ign?
well nevermind lol
I’m on Xbox. It’s the same as discord handle
on pc
havent played since launch, is there anything i should absolutely do before/during the time im doing the 2 dlcs?
Everyone on PC 😭
its a sign
Get a role to see LFG channels
I didn't know I could get a Prototype in the Sakura box.
wish id of found this when i was farming t10s... gains are gains i guess
Is crossplay out yet?
Nope
At what level should I start entering raids and incursion? Im SHD 383 and expertise level 4
Anyone know why my game crashes when I start retaliation
Right away
Whats the easiest to start on?
Dark hours is quite a lot simpler mechanically than iron horse. Recommend getting together a standard all red dps build such as strikers first if you don't have one already.
This is me currently @nimble spruce
Yeah that'll do for a basic raid setup, obviously more crit minors would be preferable
You can check in #lfg-raid-console for people running it but you'll have better luck on one of the discords that has voice channels (Community or GCRock) or using the xbox game finder thing
Thanks bro
Question- trying to run escalation 9 or 10 but it says it’s locked. I have over 900 tokens but can’t enter What am I doing wrong ?
I would use equalizer but this is my attempt at making heartbreaker usable so I need the chest lol
What do you mean it’s locked
have you done escalation tier 8?
No
then do 8 to unlock the others
Sweet thanks
what do i do with 14 quicksteps?
prototype until you get proto swap speed 🤣
Just keep one for each character
Still more RPM than my ACR
Report that loser
Yup
Create a ticket with this clip, more if you have
Send me a link on where to submit a report on web/pc?
is there a way we can filter who has modifiers and who has the SHD exposed thing going on??
its annoying af when u join up randomly and boom, the thing u want is no longer there
surely there is a way
cuz it would make 0 sense for 1 to cancel out the other randomly
You can only control that with global events. Not with seasonal modifiers
not interested in the SHD thing at all
Have people join you then
thats the only way? wow
Question, for countdown would red core heartbreaker be better than strikers? Ive heard its faster to get going with HB than with striker, and its hard to build striker stacks
Its the other way around and how is building Striker stacks hard? You just need to hit your enemy bruh.
cuz other players kill enemies too fast for me to build stacks
Something tells me you're using the chest piece so you think about reaching 200 stacks every encounter.
Happens a lot yes but sometimes you get players running whatever as well so its better to be safe than sorry I guess.
yeah, reaching 200 and maintaining is tricky, i get out dps'd
Replace it with Equalizer, named unit alloy brand chest piece.
gotcha, same for heroic? or should i go striker chest for that? i play challenging usually
No, Striker chest piece is only viable in higher tier Escalation.
Not necessary for any other content.
thanks so much for the help!
Yea and dont forget to wear the backpack.
yeah this is what i rock on open world + missions
Yeah go with that for any content.
If you can get a Lexington from the current event and give it the Back n Forth talent you won't regret using that, I know Leftie has good team synergy but in open world you're probably going to want something that helps you burst enemies as a priority.
lex better than elmo? i traded lefty for acs with more mag to build strikers faster
I mean as a secondary weapon, St Elmo works fine as your main gun.
gotcha, thx
When putting points into the SHd points (Offesnive defensive etc) is there a faster way to get the points in. Have to wait the animation of it adding points is painful
This is from making a new character adding the points in
Other than just saving them and putting multiple in at a time, not that I know of no.
i have all the points, from my main character but it has an animation when its adfding all 50 at a times it takes too long
play a movie on the side
Ive heard the fastest way to grind SHD lvls in open world, true?
nba classified assignment on all directives gives 1m xp per 2 min runs
SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN!
Oh no they took it seriously 
update: i have a 15th quickstep
Give them out to everyone who asks for the houndsman bounty in the general channel 
me? generous? just isnt possible >:(
i dont even have the houndsman bounty
ahem
le gasp
i just need to gain more expertise level, then cry once i realize it gets exponentially more expensive
Oh big time 
best emote for attracting the gamers
will farming shd levels for printer filament faster than countdown/retal?
I need to settle a theoretical debate, is CHC, or DTA, or DTOC the best on the Big Alejandro or any LMG?
dttooc is on there by default, chc is usually the pick, dta is situational on pesti
I meant DTH instead of DTOC
Does anyone have any bounties that can get me the overdrive pistol? I’m shd lvl 28 and I missed the event to get it.
Overdrive pistol? The event is still going and you can get the Quickstep pistol from it
Quickstep drops from the gear caches in the current Cherry Blossom event, go open a bunch of those.
Okay thank you !!
hello what is the easiest way to get backfire
Retaliations, the gun in the workshop will tell you what faction drops them. Pretty sure it’s Hyenas. Also SMG focus during retal cuz why not
i see thanks
is challenging worth doing if im not fast enough for heroic or no?
chances of getting the crafting blueprint are lower
But only moderately. Challenging is fine until you can work yourself to Heroic.
trueson turrets still havent nerfed???
I wouldn't believe everything I read on the internet lol
Reddit, indeed the highly reliable source, for sure.
What's today's escalashun drop pool?
pins...
Hasn't updated yet anyway
I don't get it some say the drops change every 24 hours and here I read it's weekly...
The missions change weekly
You tell me I had a week to farm proto Tipping scales? Ohh dang....
missions are every tuesday loot is everyday at 9am for you
they follow targeted loot just like everything else
Can't wait for LMG escalation 🙂
@zenith hull This is a person, not a bot 😄
He's been doing that for years, he deserves recognition just for this. Started out in a single discord and by now serves plenty of community discords
Apparently he uses a site for the daily Escalation loot infographic I might say
Can proto Hotshot piece drop with headshot attribute?
I'm asking myself the same questions cuz I only got crits today 😂 But yes, of course
Thanks, had no clue. just got back into the game
Imagine full proto Hotshot set with all maxed out HS rolls.
Won't do that much since you already have so much HSD
It'll not magically make MMRs in Escalations OP or so :p
The fun part about prototype items is: you cannot change anything but the augment on them
I havn't been able to login this week. Can anyone tell me if GWH is invaded this week? Last mission I need to get nemesis blueprint
Thank you. Hopefully it gets invaded on tomorrows reset
What LMG's am I looking for that are good. The ones ive been looking at when I seem them are the GR9 And the Classic M60
mk46
Mainly looking at Striker/Tipping Scales/Ongoing Directive
Slow firing is nice for TS, MK46/M249 are fast firing (for Striker's). GR9 is a good middle ground.
For OD the Carnage is nice too
I assume you'd run frenzy on them too? Just things ive seen other people say/seen on their build
why people hate bell ringer?
noise
oh 🙁
Just wondering, are raids considered hard content? I have yet to do them.
they sure need coordination for mechanics but do it a couple times and learn , won't be that hard .
first blind run will take a couple attempts to figure it out
Hello! How do i complete this??
Mission, I think space admin but don't hit me if I'm wrong 😆
My savior 🙏
@young stag Is it not long after you log on?
it is
Okay yeah was happening for me too.
What heavily reduced them was giving it a few minutes between logging on, and actually picking my Agent to play as.
I wait 5-10, but less is probably okay.
ohh
hey quick question. Is the new core strenght gear in prototype loot pool ?
nope, fix is planned.
what is special event exotic here?
It would just be the Big Al itself
just got this drop. If it was not headshot damage they would be decent, right?
is there a blueprint for the Classic M1A or just the SOCOM M1A?
So far, not to my knowledge. I know the named Classic's have their BP's. But yk, they're named
What is the current best way to farm for Sakura keys?
Best way is go open world. They spawn every 10 minutes
Free roam or do I have to logout login?
No need to log out. Just do some control points or something else in between spawns
You can also free roam without any activity but that would be boring
Guys is there a way to aquire the The Archivist? Is it available in the regular drop pool?
Well, true. That sounds easy. I’m just starting the grind for the keys so thanks for the help 🤙
New classified assigment
whats up with leg missions that there have been recently an influx of rookies here?
having them around makes the game more engaging, but 3 is too much
there is no yaahl gear?
yes, its exclusive in dz and conflict
Well, we have an influx of new players and nobody is telling them off because they're too young.
anyone got houndsman bounty on europe? my friend needs quick steps
It's in the prototype pool but you can't get it from core strength target loot
Gloves target loot
So i forgot to stash my build on my alt character before i deleted it. Is it gone forever?
Yes
Best way to get quickstep?
get keys from Kitchen Noobies then open caches only 18hrs left on event or so
Yeah that didn't work. That's why I'm asking
Houndsman bounty so good luck looking for someone who still has it in PS.
Sounds annoying
Sadly I’m not on PS but I have the houndsman bounty . Sorry bud
If only there was cross progression
There’s supposed to be cross play coming at some point . Then it would be possible
Some time this year allegedly.
do we still get blueprint drops from retaliations? I ran 4 and haven't gotten a single one
hey all, still having trouble getting this lantern. all the guides ive seen walk in the open door on the east side but that door is closed for me. none of them are doing missions or bounties that seem to open the door so im confused why its closed for me.
@left ravine this dude might be in here another TACO MAN!!!!! HAHahahah
THis is ok right devs..? Not name shaming more like name boosting. if its not ok Im very sorry
Stars aligned, Can confirm that Named NPC, Charlie (can) drop(s) Catalyst in Battle for Brooklyn if Army Terminal isn't working for you
There's a secret side mission called: Missing Wire Scavengers, there are videos on YouTube to find the mission giver.
Hi, does anyone know how to get the Ruin Hunter Mask? Turmoil doesn't work, we've tried several builds. Thanks in advance!
only known method is the turmoil one, there might be another
The turmoil method doesn't work at all. The boss takes no damage at all.
I do not understand the Cassy/Danny Weaver thing at all, I've gone to all the locations The Snitch is supposed to be according to guides with zero luck. Is there a resource for where he is each week that I am missing?
its rng, but I use this
https://division2map.com/
filter to just Snitch
@trail agate bear with me but is your global event switched on?
It is switched on, and that map is very helpful thank you
just saw a couple of videos of people doing it, so far it was the only reported way
had to doublecheck to be sure
almost every week I go here, one of these 3 locations ime
I've had mine refuse to spawn until I switched it off. No promises but that worked for me. found him in the first spot I checked afterwards
(This was not a one off experience btw)
most of them did it during the reanimated event for extra headshot damage, can try using another global event or proto gear to boost damage
The snitch has a chance (quite high I'd guess from experience, at least 50% or so) of spawning whenever you get near one of his spots. However, once you spawn him in one location, he goes on a 30m cooldown before he'll spawn anywhere else. This means if you've been running around DC doing other stuff there's a chance you accidentally spawned him somewhere along the way without noticing.
The usual quick and easy method is to go hunting as soon as you log into the game (or after travelling back to DC from another area), visit the spot where you want to find him. If he's not there, log out and in and check the same place again.
Yes we watched a lot of video too but we really tried every option we could end thank you
I wonder if it'd work with a hotshot/chainkiller build w/ Vindicator, if it highlighted their head with the scoped talent, or did you try that sorta thing already?
Aaaand just like that I found him, thank you so much!
We haven't tried Vindicator yet, but I don't think it will do enough damage but we can try. All build variations so far have included Chain killer, now we're trying whit the Pristine Example.
thank you!
ahh nice, hopefully something works 🙏 I can join and help if you want/have space
I hope thx the advice!
I checked the upcoming manhunt scout. I know the first too , how to complete. The third one is rather uncomon. Challenge. Its has to do with retaliation so im not sure how to complete this
I just need to check, ninjabiker's backpack it only affects stats from brands/gearsets that one have equipt right? Kinda of a dumb question, but I just want to make sure I understand it right
yes
alright, cool
so 2 pieces of a brand, 2 pieces of another and a single piece from a third will result in the equivealent of having the 3 piece bonus from two different brands and a 2 piece bonus from a single brand
Idk if im just unlucky but i can never get this to spawn
Yeah, read the talent on that, just if it affects every single gear or brand that is equipt or exists, that I needed clarification on
just have more green control points
Is this why Manny keeps shouting at me every 3 seconds?
yeah, they kinda beat the fact that you have a retaliation ready like a dead horse
every time I kill an enemy he vocal stims: agent, hostiles are taking over [location] 😂
They really don't want us to recalibrate prototype items, huh?
Nope, recalibrating would mean you don't have to sink time, no sunk time is bad for shareholders
Shareholders are f'd anyway
100% agreed, but no business = no game
MSV seems to be acting more autonomously than other branches of Ubisoft tho.
how do i do this
Tbh, Massive has a solid track record of games compared to other UB studios
Is there a best way to farm blue attributes for my library ?
Ah. Just farm preferably items with a blue core as those have a higher chance to drop with blue attributes
Got it thanks 😁
Hello! i was wondering if this journey mission is bugged. I have 65 offense and none of my kills are counting. Re-logging fixed it 😄
Do i need to play with my invited friend to get the referral reward?
What’s the best way to farm Hollowman?
That's a tough one to farm since it's a DZ drop
DZ/Conflict caches, named item caches and Houndsman bounty still
IKia's builds - yay or nay?
Best
yay, he was a very good player 🥹
yeah. i remember he didn't like prototype (for good reason). is there anyone else with an extensive build repo as his? the further we get from S7 the more his builds will start being a little bit out of date and that scares me
There is not. The next best thing would be the community spreadsheet as great source
we have the Spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice but it's way different
A few people are trying too fill his shoes but the shoes are too big or they're not made for it in the first place
life would be better with iKia here
I miss iKia
It's still odd seeing a "live" notification and seeing him play a game other than Div2
Unless there's a massive shift in the game, most of his builds will still be solid templates that are easy to work with
Correct
It would likely be "replace X piece with Y piece that's now the new BiS"
i do not plan on doing PvP at all so i guess i can rest easy
but considering today's builds haven't changed that much unless something new gets added, then i guess i'll keep using his builds and then ask here if there's anything i can improve upon it
That's pretty much what I do, especially in build advice
i don't hope someone takes on his mantle, but i do hope the community at least continues his legacy until he decides to return (if he ever does)
The people who are currently trying hard just try it for clout
we do our best here. we answer questions a lot here, mostly in #td2-build-advice
as an average player i really appreciate when people grab my hand and walk me through t10 escalation
Honestly, I doubt someone will take the mantle, but the spirit lives on with some of the folks I've seen
community-driven this time around! ikia's builds as base and then we build it upon there
and if they ever grow outdated then we're wheelchairing the hell outta them ahaha
wait no i shouldn't be using ZZZ terms here i'm sorry
There are definitely knowledgeable people around that help others.
What I meant earlier was the people who publicly want to "replace" iKia now are the false ones
it certainly applies here too tbh
sir
eugh. posers. not a fan of them
alright, since i'm here - how does once determine which to shoot first with Overdogs? Kitsunebi as an example. atm i go Assault > Sniper > Supporter > Heavy Weapons > Tank
Made by @strange harbor
sometimes i go straight for the Tank by damaging his armor and then dumping Mop once he gets close, but Heavy Weapons seems to tank a lot of hits if i aim for him first compared to him being the only one left
ooh! i'm not that far off then! nice
warhound i'll ignore the reqs for it. that thing needs to be downed first amongst everyone else
not even far off, your order was good in the first place
i much prefer dealing with the sniper warhound than the one that keeps galloping around
aye. thanks. i do take out the sniper first as much as possible tho. he goes does faster than assault (but also bc that guy keeps running away to god knows where)
i'm not even annoyed at the phosphorus atp. i look away and look back and he's 3 blocks away already
yeah you don't have to strictly follow its priority. even with less than 100% uptime it's still stronger than other options for most situations. it's only in some situations where the strat demands it like in legendary due to set spawns and such where it's less competitive
hey does anybody still have lanterns because i have the 39/40 glitch
yeah. Striker is still crazy and i wish it was my first build when i first played
everyone else from the looks of things. happened with the gift hunting in december too
Ubi should just add an extra one for cases like this
is there anyway to fix this
sadly nada. either you make a new agent or join someone else's game and then get their lantern
if i just pick up one other persons lantern will it complete
yeah
or do i have to collect all 40 in their world
just like the gift hunting back in december. hypothetically you could get 80 if you wanted to
ok thanks
Why does no one do raids? Sat in a raid party for 45 mins waiting and the most people I got was 4 lol
Did you use matchmaking for a raid?
Yeah discovery one on DH
Yeah that would do it. That's the Discovery mode, not the actual raid.
There is your reason. Nobody does discovery mode. You won't get the actual raid exotics and not the entire raid experience. Look for a group in #lfg-raid-console
Ah ok there we go i learn something new everyday
One final question. Who we watching on youtube for videos to help a noob?
iKia - he is not actively playing anymore but his videos and everything he created about this game are still pretty much invaluable
This is also a good place. #td2-build-advice for one also has a really great spreadsheet pinned
I follow that spreadsheet like the bible atm haha
ikia was our all seeing eye, the grandmaster, the legend. legends arent forgotten... theyre just missing in ac... oops wrong reference
Best way to farm for hollowman mask is houndsman bounty farm . Can also find a double red attribute roll as well.
I have bounty if you need
Have a great question it’s is about expertise how to get to lvl 30 the fastest and most effective way
Starting from 0, there's not really a fast way to get it done, Expertise is quite a grind
can anyone tell whats the broken shield buff?
Survivalist speciality
Ok
I think it's the 10% dmg to status effect targets
The best thing you could do is farm targeted loot to donate, you can donate materials but it gets quite costly very quick, using weapons and gear also contributes but is rather slow
Ok bet
if you see an expertise surge event, that's the best time to donate materials as you'll get (3x?) the progress for the same amount of materials
are prototypes not dropping from the zoo
CS still bugged as prototype
what does it do
I think it's called Survivalist Link, it gives teammates +10% DMG to status affected enemies
Btw is not event is there
But I get it
@frozen bone since links can't go in general https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/the-division/the-division-2/news-updates/5PN6SLK0yjpG6s3ajepwCd/tuy8s12-new-escalation-vendor-classified-assignment-fixes
Anyone know why when i take off dye from a backpack it reverts back when i load back in? For example I dyed the bloody houndsman backpack and when i try to remove it and log back in, the dye is back on
whats worth farming from escalashun? apart from the bugy drop? contractors?
Tip of da spear?
?
Depends on what you want
6 piece 5.11
jking, jking. today probably nothing because targeted loot is crap. maybe just contractors but id rather use overdogs
does anyone know if CORE STR is droppin PROTO today in manning ?
Negative
Where do I get the bighorn?
Black Tusk completed retaliations grant a Bighorn blueprint (through RNG)
Thank you
bt retail or just retail/raid/... exotic boxes
Does difficulty matter for the RNG of the keys? I turned my game down to normal and did like 6 kitsunebi squads rn and got 0 keys from it
so, I interacted with all 40 lanterns and the counter got stuck at 39/40, I redid the route thinking I hadn't interacted with one, and they are all activated, is there a bug with the lanterns?
Yeah, it does.
A lot of people report the same. Just join someone and interact with any random lantern.
All the videos say to switch to normal so I figured that’s the best method
Ronins now guarantee a key drop regardless of difficulty. For Kitsunebi the difficulty still matters, tho.
Ohh I guess those videos were for the glitches
I just defeated my first Ronin. They’re the only way to get those skill visuals right?
How do you get tinkerer
Yeah, each Ronin drops a certain type of VFX.
The Manager master mission at Potomac or BT Retaliation for the blueprint.
is oxpecker shield healing affected by incoming repairs or repair skills?
i dont enjoy dark zone. and all(?) specializations have 50% pulse resistance. surely i can dismantly any pulse resistance mods
If you don't care getting pulsed, go on
In Tom Clancy's The Division 2’s Escalation mode, the group leader having to spend all the tokens alone really needs to be patched. It should be split equally as N/1 among the party members instead.
Using tokens to buy chests is a good idea, but this system just makes people not want to be the party leader even more. Honestly, this feels really poorly thought out.
whats the recommended difficulty for Legacy manhunts?
You can pick whichever difficulty you want to play on
i have a dumb question. can i get dz exclusive named weapons from the countdown named item chest
Yes
prototype gear used to drop being expertise 30 did they change that and why
you can also farm their blueprints from Retaliations
no and no
yes it did
i have a super 90 from when it did and its maxxed expertise
im only expertise level 12
It still drops exp 30.
oh is it just a chance ?
All prototype drops are expertise 30 by default.
oh my ui is bugged then
Probably… Do you have a screenshot? Also, relog and see if it fixes itself.
im soloing t3 rn hold on
The only proto that I have that has anything besides the expertise 30 symbol is the First Bloom AR I got from the Event
@wraith flare

it fixed it thanks
is the core strength targetted loot still bugged for escalation?
Yes for now, will be fixed after maintenance today
when we the last time we had a proficiency xp bonus the was not the last one. ie 2 times or more ago. as i caught the last one. and i was curious if there is a set time between them
We had a Proficiency XP event last month, in the beginning of the season.
and the one before that?
Some time during Y7S3. It's usually once per season, so you probably won't see another one until Y8S2.
is it a bug or just how manhunts go, but the reviver hive dont revive and only got 1 charge
What grants the most progress on prototype augment levels?
My loot beam from the caches is gone, what’d I do?
Does the tinkerer aplly if one talent is a perfect version of another talent?
@hollow spoke Read the description, it says no named or exotic talents work.
Doesn't apply to talents that include Weapon Swapping.```
Crying
Trust me, it's plenty powerful without having Named Items in the mix.
The thought of a lexington with perfect frenzy terrifies and enthuses me
Perfect Unwavering and Fast Hands: reload so fast your hands fall off.
I was actually running good times with the max weapon handling seasonal buff, the reload was comically fast
The reload flat-out breaks even when I'm using frenzy+seasonal buff sometimes.
Honestly recommend it, it's really funny watching your Agent move slightly too fast.
I guess the real question tinkerer or over dogs?
It sort of depends on the build.
red symbol on ui means not working
orange means working
Feel like salvo is a little worthless without strikers am I right?
Anyone have the houndsman bounty ?
Salvo is only worth it when the fire rate plays into your build
@graceful totem I’m still looking for people who has it
Ok
I believe it’s cross play now
Cross play hasn't come out sir. Most likely late 2026.
Oh didn’t know just started playing 2 days ago I searched it up it said it was
domino effect of AI article feeding google AI false information
if im making a one shot prophet build should i put hs dmg, dttooc, or crit dmg
Does anyone know if the Ronin guarantee drops a VFX for the skills? I’ve got all 3 except for the hive and killed the Ronin 3 times with no VFX drops. Do I need to restart the game or something or is it also RNG?
did you kill the hive ronin? or just a ronin 3 times?
Ohh that’s how it works. I guess I’m get to kill the hive one
Yeah, It took a several spawns worth of ronin for me to get through all of them. There's two variants, Fox and Red Ronin, the one you want is the Red Ronin
Though unless you're absolutely pressed for time taking out a fox ronin would be worth it for the key, even in the last hours of the event.
is this worth keeping
Yeah
I’m at this location to interact with one of the lanterns but the gate is closed? Even restarted the game. It’s a bounty location
I believe the second one only spawns if you’re in a group. If you’re solo only 1 spawns and I’ve only seen the red ronin while doing solo
what can i use it in
jsut got my last lantern and im at 39/40, can i join anyone and get a lantern to get the bug fixed
How do I find Cassie Mendoza?
Anything really
Find the Snitch, her shopping cart vendor icon will appear on the map
okok ill try it out
Any solutions for this??
Basically, you always keep that frenzy gun empty. Take it out when there are juicy targets, empty the mag then swap back to the other gun. It takes some time to get used to but it's very powerful when used correctly.
pretty sure you go up and around through the windows
Anyone know where I can find Birdie’s Quick fix Back Pack
anyone have a lanntern i can collect for the 39/40 bug?
I saw a couple of videos and they both show through those gates from the picture. Unless there’s an alternate way
can you join a vc i can stream and show you
Burden of truth manhunt on master.
Yes should we do it through DM?
Why are people only running petrov today for escalation good lord
I’m not but I can join if you send me an inv
I also DM’d you
Contractor's Gloves can work for some proto setups, and it's a quick mission with a decent amount of spawns.
Unless there's a really good Proto option available, people tend to just run the shortest one they can.
I love how strikers was up 1 day, still no hunter's fury, but multiple gear sets have appeared back to back. One reason i hate this new rng change.
You'd rather be locked to the same one for a whole week at a time?
The current system makes it so that it's random, which means every day you have an equal chance for Strikers. There's just a lot of options.
Prefer to be able to choose what I wanna go for like countdown. People aren't available every day. You could be waiting a whole month for a gear set to appear again and it happens to appear on a day you can't play.
Game's got too much gear for this tbh but that's my opinion.
Fair points but it's against what they're doing with prototype gear
summit countdown retal target loot has spoiled us too much
No, that is actually a genius way. By now everyone's accustomed to it, sure
I love the idea of grinding harder content for better endgame gear, however highly disagree with current state of it but I won't get into that as it's beating a dead horse at this point.
same opinion with prototypes. granted i haven't been playing for long but i can only imagine how terrible it would be once i do reach that point. grinding now is already bothersome as it is
to the point where i'll stash most gear i believe is good enough bc i'll never know when i'll get it again
grinding now is already bothersome as it is
What exactly is "bothersome"?
It's a looter shooter. Farming/Grinding can be expected. Division has a great way and balance for this - at least before prototype gear
The main gripe here is the material commitment to a piece of gear that cannot be changed and ultimately could turn out to be not what you need is my problem with prototype.
I totally agree. What I wrote above was in regard to André's statement, underlining that their current state is before prototype gear
You're looking at potentially spending over 20k exotic components if you're unfortunate enough to get what you need each item to get 1 fully optimized build. Not to mention the countless recon data and crafting mats. It's a ridiculous commitment that should just not exist.
I meant to reply to him not you, sorry.
They clearly don't want you to upgrade, cutting the costs in half was kinda just eye-washing. The intention with prototype gear and drops is clearly to play for it instead of upgrading/tinkering
The missing recalibration/opimization is the biggest flaw in all of this
And now the declining players and flawed matchmaking system leads to more people not being interested much in prototype gear
I dunno, my grinding fatigue is catching me. Kudos to all the players willing to put up with this but I'm reaching my limit on how big of a commitment a game like this is requiring of me. Not even Destiny went this hardcore with it's build optimization.
Understandable
Another thing i hate is escalation is not even new content, we need to continue to grind the same missions we been playing for 8 yrs, joy...
I know I'm talking smack but don't get me wrong, love the game still. I think I'm just ready for 3.
Also, valid point
If I personally wouldn't love this game I would not be here anymore either
*SEASON PASS XP X5
May 19 – May 26
You will earn increased Season Pass XP from Priority Objectives, the Seasonal Journey, Weekly Projects, Manhunt Scouts, and general world activities…* I wanna make sure I’m reading this correctly this is just for seasonal xp not over all xp right? This isn’t gonna help me gain my levels on my shd xp …
yeh
SHD exp level event has passed
Still waiting for double material gain and countdown surge. Those two havent appear yet.
i gave a boatload of Nemesis. what should i do with them?
Dismantle ofc
ah. alright. thanks
Keep one and dismantle the rest for exotic components
yeah. got it. thanks
i'm gonna do the same for my dupes. i like keeping named items in my cache... tho i probably shouldn't be doing that
Most are useless
figures
i'll dismantle named items from guns i won't be using. particularly just the SMGs
for my SMG fix i'd probably just use Ouro, but i'll stick with Stack Broker if i ever get St Elmo
Dark Winter/Vectors is/are nice, Converted SMG-9 is nice, Chatterbox is nice, Backfire is nice.
You do have options
Is it not possible to buy Sakura keys after you’ve opened all the apparel caches? I need a few for the badges and probably not gonna be able to farm them before the event ends
The patches beyond donating 20 ain't worth it anyway imo.
I like the waves one tbh
I like the one for donating 20 and finding all lanterns. Got them both and a first bloom with dteoc unfortunately not proto'd but I opened like 100 caches this event and no luck so I'm over it lol
Are some of the things available through gear caches not available anywhere else? Like even through DZ?
Nah, just first bloom far as I know.
Huntsman as well, right?
Yea that drops there too but it's not exclusive to it. You can get Hunstman from the brooklyn hunters and then named caches afterwards.
I kinda didn't care for donation patches, but somehow I had 80 keys to spare just from playing everyday and I already got every gear I need
love the wave one too
Ohh, I see. Thanks for letting me know. I think first bloom will eventually go in the loot pool as well so I’m not worried
The way I see it the gear will come back in some way or another but the event cosmetics (especially badges) won’t
Same, but unfortunately I was out of town these past few weeks and only just got time starting yesterday so probably no wave badge for me
Can i skip all manhunt scouts without high value targets? Future manhunts or?
To play manhunt mission?
Once the final target is ready you only need to two the two HVTs and the rest can be skipped.
Do them anyway for a stretch goal event end of season if you want a nice boost
Ok nice
pls refresh my memory: was St. Elmo available to grab back in Krampus event?
its anywhere
not in Cherry Blossom it seems like
wait actually hold on let me the cache content rq
ah yeah. knew it
yeah. St. Elmo not in Krampus event either
St Elmo isn’t a special exotic tho, you can just.. get it
@left ravine Does it mean i can skip the most , prioritize HVT? And main manhunt mission. I read that scout 3 today is a retaliation quest so im kind of stuck. The rest i manage 🙂
Look at the manhunt timeline. You'll notice two squares. Those are the HVTs that need to be done in order to unlock the final climax mission - when it's time
when is the climax?
There are 2 scouts left after todays
damn
Countdown/Summit/True son retaliation with targeted loot set to AR any exotic cache/reward can drop it for you as well including primary objectives. Not a hard AR to get at all these days.
i'll keep that in mind. thanks
Any new exotic type after completing manhunt there or not
Whiplash pistol
how hard is escalation
tier 0-3?
tier 0 almost has no players so i feel like im gonna solo it though
Can you easily complete any heroic mission with ease? Then the answer is "somewhat easy". More annoying that hard at places.
May 26th.
Can prototype armor pieces drop with maxed out attributes like normal armor pieces ?
Like crit hit chance or damage
Of course
Could it not be a regular black tusk quest, why a retaliation. I cant complete scout 3. I will do all others but retaliation i cant. To hard
So they've finally brought it back as well. 😍
Hey, for some reason I cant access my inventory stuff, is there a mission I need to do? Or im I just stupid
wth it just fixed itself nvm
Mb
Call for backup or ask for help in #lfg-pc or just lower the difficulty
Oh lol another exotic from Div1
Probably good AR for Healer.
Probably gonna be modified a bit since theres no such thing as Skill Power in Div2.
Maybe it'll be based on Skill Tier.
sounds to be another funny weapon that may or may not be stash filler depending on implementation
Does anyone if the group leader of escalation getting the lowest amount of tokens has been raised to devs?
Did raise it on the bug tracker. But needs 5 people to upvote it.
Especially with the new token chests, there is no point in being group leader anymore. No reward for doing it
They're server-side.
You change where you are with a VPN for example on PC, it's the same "save file".
i started playing on a Singaporean version on the game, realized i can't buy in-game currency but i fear if i get the US version i have to start again. if they're server side then that's great at least
It's based on your account you use, basically.
As long as you've logged on the same ubisoft-connect account, it'll work.
ah, alright. my account's based on Canada so i can't view any credits on the SG copy of the game
Region shouldn't matter. Im in Australia, my game is from the US, and I regularly play all over.
i reckon you can still keep playing as usual in the event you buy the AUS version of the game?
I've been playing it fine since 2019, so I think I'm good.
It's based on your ubisoft-connect account, you don't need to buy a specific region, as long as it's not the other version of div2 that's entirely based in China.
oh nice then. thank you!
Just saw this idk much about it but wonder why it’s there and not released lol
Well things get added to the Expertise Menu before they're properly in the game. It happens all the time.
That's just how the game works.
If an item already exists in the game as a proper item, the Expertise Menu will pick it up from the general item pool.
Is everyone else also getting Delta'd since the update? 🤔
lol someone in the dev team really lieks Fallout
How is that fallout related?
gamma ray guns
You saw "alien ray guns" and went for the post-apocalyptic game?
Cmon, at least go for Men in Black.
Ok ok I can see where you are coming from there but..
when that gun goes bang..... waanaaagaaa LOL it dont go bang, it shoots out a blast of gamma that is in a ring like the new ora ora skin
Im not saying its a bad thing Fallout 4 is prob the best game ever made hahah
I mean yeah the games have ray guns, but it's a weird 1st choice as a reference.
It's like going "oh yeah a deagle, like in warframe".
(not even kidding, that series got weird)
buuuuuut fair enough, fallout ray guns!
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I mean for me when I look at the new skill it just screams FAllout 4 gamma gun
but I can see where you coming from.
again not saying its bad i love fallout 4 I always get getty when I see FO4 reffs in other games
I always go for the fallout 3 one, but that's my fave so each to their own!
Im sorry but... I facking love it!!! FO3 is great also took place in DC haha
Ok ok sorry back to div thing
yep div!
although to tie it in, I think we would do well with a fallout cosmetic collab. Could do with some more "made of old cars and doors" outfits.
yes that would be so bad to the bone I would so rock that haha
Prototype vendor: was it intended to be as many as you can buy?
why wouldnt it
Is delta 3 error happening every 5m normal?
no.
@SynConfluence We're aware of increased reports of Delta errors and are currently investigating it.
Thank you for you report!
They knew today was striker so they destroyed their servers, what a move.
the rotation is automated; I am sure they were focused more on the update and less on what set was where to be honest, but you know, definately a conspiracy.
is no one having crash to desktop or gettring there PC restarted from this ?
How can bad server stability crash a PC to restarts 😟
Sounds like skill issue to me.
It just really got bad with the new season update, I never had this problem before
Skill ?
What skill, I have been working with pc's for 20 yesrs, and this is not a skill issue.
Hey anyone know about this Caduceus Exotic AR that was just put into expertise?
@hearty sparrow It's based on a gun from div1, if you want some possible spoilers.
Many people in my clan report lots of Delta 3 today, I had 5 already lost tokens on escalation and failed retaliation when it happened. Time to play sonething else till it gets sorted
Could see this being an option with full red core strength, if it functions the same way
this is like the third time ive asked cuz of adhd, but whenever i do get exp level 30 and upgrade my equalizer, will all of its stats be randomized to potentially no longer be all red, or will they all stay red, and theres a chance they get increased
All stay the same attribute. One is guaranteed to be at max. Rest have a chance to increase. But very slim
To get the ultimate god roll, would be to farm unit alloys on tier 10 and hope for a max roll equaliser with your attributes. But very very rare
yeah im not doing all that, i thought about it but i got strikers to get anyway
those odds are millions to one, id rather just accept a small stat bonus, its still something lol
When every other person is asking for t10 in chat - why did we change escalation at all?
how do i send invites or add ppl?
Yeah, i did that to start. Which allowed me to farm the higher tiers. Then got better pieces of what I had
where can i find the event pass
its in the outfits section of the store
its weird i just did roll and first roll becomes echo, did on 2 proto gears, same happened
Delta in all missions
server broke?
Servers are having issues, there was a tweet to say the team are aware, no ETA, imo don't do escalations otherwise risk of losing tokens.
im new - let me farm Summit :D
Hello what about lullaby and ruthless why I don't have option to dissmantled?
Can't dismantle any more, presumably due to core farming.
So I need to have this weapons on lvl 30😂🤣it's just stupid move.
Yeah you will need to play the game
Are there skins that are time limited or is there indicator for it or something
Just be happy you farmed the glitch while you could
I'm sad for my friend who is new to this game.... And bought this.... For farm...
Retaliations are both good for exotic farm and getting weapons and gear that newer players struggle to get
It clearly was not intended so buying into that was always a risk.
They need to add something to farm exo....
There are multiple sources for exotics to junk, play the game and it rains exotics.
thats a vast overstatement
I have almost every exotic in the game and ive been in endgame for only like a month now
I think if they make escalations reward +1 exotic comp per tier, it would be even more worth it.
I agree there is no effective exotic components farm worth the time.
we're talking about the sheer number of exotics you need to upgrade to proto, getting specific exotics themsleves is easy
Does Amalgam's 0.5% chance to apply a status effect apply per pellet with shotguns?
t10 is prob best bang for buck exotic farm now
since you get cores and frd and shd cali along with everything
If only there wasn't a looming delta threat right now, I just got booted as I was typing
i see but tbf the game is a mmo so like farming is the point no? although i can get that the expertise farm is quite long for what it is worth
yes ofc farming is still the point, but right now the fastest way of purely getting exotics is like 1 per 5-10 min IF you get lucky
and it takes 45 components to upgrade from expertise 0-30 for prototyping
i guess im just to new to understand what the problem is. im kinda lost tbh
They've patched the long standing method to farm them so now they're excruciatingly slow to get
Which isn't inherently a problem id just like to see them give us more/easier ways to get more components
It's easy enough already.
Or rather more components
Even if you're spamming prios or countdown or retals or whatever the gains are quite slow
I had a bunch stacked from the expertise surge a while back but dry out now
quick silly question, when i switch loadouts.. I assume i can store some items in stash or do i have it on my inventory?
Inventory iirc it will show symbol when in stash
And you can pull from stash automatically if in a safe area usually.
It would be silly if u could switch in raid from stash
How many tokens do these new proto caches cost?
5 for random and 10 for targeted, very cheap
Wow that's not bad
ahh gotcha, makes sense thanks
indeed 😅
I'm all for the alternative way to use the tokens but it seems very cheap to get the pinnacle tier of loot now 
For people who regularly grind it yeah
Most players won't have big stockpiles of requisitions
I drained about 800 and got maybe 3-4 pieces I kept, rest got crunched
I'm sitting at like 120 tokens or so just from sticking to T1 and 2.
Ehh it's not a whole lot
If you're hosting as well the token gain sucksssss
Really needs to be buffed so people hosting actually have a reason to
Still trying to figure out what to do with this. I am only running strike and nothing else so this is pointless
That's some cores.
That from the key farming bs I just stuck to the missions
Mess around with augments and prototype other stuff, mostly
I got up to 25 per re-roll pretty quick
What the heck is Mike 01 ? Either that or Delta this morning
The servers are down, you're not getting in.
Okie Dokie thanks
Nothing better then striker
Ehhh for escalation perhaps but a case can be made for a lot of other sets everywhere else
In escalation there's also future initiative
Are master missions easy ?
With a group that knows what they're doing, they're not too hard
@forest apex sorry but we have a rule about AI 'art'
Why Amaru look like that
so when this game eventually falls is there anything else holding ubisoft up?
div3 probably
how i can unlock like a lot of bounties available? i see on yt people has like 20+ targets in page but i do have like max 5-6 always and most of them are normal difficulty, i play on heroic world lvl
Hit up the snitch and also do hostage/ execution events.
Complete public executions /hostage rescues, daily and weekly projects, talk to the snitch
do you need to play together for the friend referral thing? or is it just the person i invited?
also, i can't just send the referral link to anyone, no? it has to be a new player?
So how's the server running rn?
Oh, Im blind, never saw that channel before 
this is scary. i don't have PS+ 😵💫
somehow back when I was on console (Xbox in ye olden days) my XBLive ran out years before, but my dad at the time still actively paid for his XBLive. I guess MS thought that his XBLive extended to me? Idk... Very odd though. I was able to still claim XBLive related rewards/items and play multiplayer without issue.
How much are the caches from the new vendor? Is it like 100 tokens per cache or something higher? Lol
5 for random 10 for the gear & weapon
We did it team SHD lvl 1000
That's so generous lmao. I expected something crazy high haha
is it cute?
This looks like a high schooler's blender modeling project ngl
indeed
Are you kidding me...
At first i thought you play the game at 30 fps lol
change you change the games ui colors, like the raritys and the orange and stuff?
Colorblind modes
the colorblind modes can affect it, but I'm not sure how much it affects
i see
chc or chd on proto pieces in terms of like what would be best to be boosted to open up more flex slots on weapons etc?
imo, start with CHC, if you can hit 60% with 3-4 pieces or even less, then the rest can be dumped into CHD
Can the slingshot drop in countdown ?
Yes, targeted SMGs
PC. of course
anyone know whati do with these i dont really understand the prototype stuff
They contain prototype cores, which is the material used to craft/ roll prototype gear (at expertise 30).
oh ok
Think of them like exotic cores; material gained when junking exotics.
fudge!!!! LOL i need skill dmg or status plus haz LOL
Is the server still unstable even after the emergency maintenance?
no its unstable becasue of the influx of players
That would be assumption; it is neat to see an uptick in player count tho
Left of the escalation menu @ BoO.
Left side of the escalation area in the white house
Wow. I really am blind
Good luck with the caches, agent. Also guess your name is historic, now.
