[inner tendon]

Now it just looks like they're weirdly into that one Death Stranding character.

[craggy solar]

anyone else just get delta 3 and not being able to get back in just getting constant echos

[glossy drum]

can be worth closing the game down; wait a couple minutes, then try again, it'll help properly disconnect from the servers and should solve most intermittent issues like that.

[civic junco]

Verify files

[arctic epoch]

does anyone know why my aaron keener mission is bugged

[paper hill]

should i run this lmg without an echo augment or a regular mk46 with frenzy
for tier 10s

[bleak oracle]

regular

you can keep this for when they add recal i guess but we dont know how its gonna be implemented

also augment is the last thing you worry about, after the right third stat and talent

[hollow reef]

Does the -50% Threat will always active as long as I dont switch to Agitator?

[bleak oracle]

yes

[hollow reef]

Neat.

[ember hawk]

what if you sue those one knee pads that allow you to gain i think 25 percent less threat aswell

didnt realize it was +50 percent

[bleak oracle]

not worth damage loss

[ember hawk]

i was just wondering since i dont have that gun yet

[bleak oracle]

you can just use scorpio or sweet dreams

[pseudo tundra]

blue build avoiding aggro

[left ravine]

Don't use it in Escalations lol

[pseudo tundra]

man thats some heavy griefing

[ember hawk]

anyone know why this is even on the map

[rugged stratus]

someone's ocd kicked in

[rough trench]

Because you can see it from the other side of Tidal basin.

It's actually the Thomas Jefferson memorial.

[ember hawk]

so its just there to look "pretty" basically

[queen glen]

is there a way to move the notifications on the lower-left of the screen? i saw GROCK's higher up but i can't seem to change that one on console

for context, i've put all the UI elements closer to the center bc i play on a 4K screen but also bc i'm not really a fan of UI elements being so close to the edge of the screen

[inner tendon]

The joy I feel over this is way higher than it should be.

[queen glen]

can't change it. shame

[calm harbor]

What is better extra 7.5% weapon dmg or extra 5% dtoc?

On 1886 1 shot build if it matters

[left ravine]

Build?

For advice check #td2-build-advice

[queen glen]

is it possible to like, trick the game into keeping Kard's +1 tier?

[strange harbor]

Sort of, you drop a revival hive with 2 charges, it revives someone. You switch off the pistol, you still have one hive left.

[quick orchid]

I mean if you wanna troll one you best gaming buddys…….. hahahahahaha we still loling about that 🤣

[quick orchid]

Use the bread box luncher you will always have 1 extra charge but remember you can have 100 charges as soon as it drops for you it’s bye bye it breaks

Aka technician missile launcher

[queen glen]

i'll keep that in mind

[rose abyss]

Is it better to just change my lexingtons talent when I need to then to have multiple expertise 30

[jovial wind]

is there still a way to get Houndsman bounty?

[hollow reef]

No

[jovial wind]

pity, alright thx

[hollow reef]

The weakspot is removed?

[left ravine]

HIs weakspot is the chain

True Sons grenadier has the explo box on his back

[queen glen]

is The Snitch supposed to be out here in broad daylight?

[dapper root]

It's normal for random enemies patrols to force the snitch to run out of their usual spot

[queen glen]

out here blasting everyone with the minigun like damn Jared i wasn't aware of your game

he's considered a friendly NPC too so the control point was successfully taken over even if the reinforcements got stuck in traffic. shame he despawned afterwards

[robust fog]

for the oxidizer mod, would you radius, skill haste or duration?

[queen glen]

oh yeah, where can i find hyena snipers?

[dapper root]

NBA is a good area

[queen glen]

i'll check it out. thanks

[dapper root]

Skill haste, and duration is chill

[queen glen]

wait, NBA is what again?

[dapper root]

Oops wrong place go to the District Union arena

[queen glen]

oh lels. got it. thanks

[young stag]

anyone know how to get alot of steel?

[vale tiger]

uhh how do you do weakpoint kills? anything i do doesnt count

[young stag]

been using the GE to buy the recab cache for steel

[hollow reef]

Thats odd, I vaguely remember Hyena tank also has weakspot at the back.

Eh nvm you're right.

I was just tripping hard.

[left ravine]

https://youtu.be/6arT8HuuPis?t=125

[hollow reef]

Yeah I was watching that video

[robust fog]

is it worth finishing the stage 5 research specializations?

or i should rephase, does it give any gameplay benefits, aside from cosmetics

[hollow reef]

How the hell he missed the butt portion of Black/White Tusk chungas. Everyone who played Dark Hours knows this.

[hollow reef]

err... I'll take free cosmetics anyday.

[rapid jetty]

what should i be working towards after getting a striker set? I also got a refactor set. Should I be trying to get max roll stats, optimize, farm xp/expertise?

still having trouble doing heroic retaliations

[hollow reef]

SHD Level 1000 and Expertise. You can do both simultaneously.

[warm salmon]

max roll stats, library

[hollow reef]

If you want to dedicate yourself to grinding expertise, focus on Gearsets and Brandsets first. Loot them as junk everytime they dropped then donate them in the expertise. Once they're all done except Yaahl and System Corruption since those two sets are rarely found and only available in DZ, 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.

[hollow reef]

That too yeah. @rapid jetty

[warm salmon]

i'd wait for expertise surge before focusing on expertise ngl

[rapid jetty]

ok

i will probably work for max stats, my library is already pretty close as well

[wispy merlin]

this is unique to the chungas during razorback. normal BT/WT chungas do not have this direct health weakpoint

[winter mason]

Hello fellow Agents! What's today's escalashun drop Table?

[rose abyss]

I have a few lexingtons that I kept from the event, I put my killer one to expertise 30 am I just better off changing the talent to Ranger/Measured or whatever else I need to in the moment instead of having multiple expertise 30?

[hollow reef]

Gotta try it myself again later.

[sturdy monolith]

13.05

[somber spoke]

should i switch this holster for salvo with max stats?

[slim elk]

no

[wispy merlin]

time to farm for proto 5.11

[rough trench]

I gotta make a proto-version of this build, ngl.

[mellow trout]

When will you prototype this sir

[wispy merlin]

now that you mention it, core strength backpack is a direct upgrade over ninjabike in this one if prototyped

[mellow trout]

Upgrades

[paper hill]

did they fix tinkerer for prototype?

i wanna run a non prototyped frenzy lmg alongside my prototyped one with measured

[rough trench]

Yeah, it works.

[paper hill]

nice thx

[vital nest]

For yaahl and system corruption i just donated excess materials on them but honestly you don’t even have to bother as you can completely ignore up to 42 things to hit level 30

[winter mason]

Since Escalation targeted loot rotates daily, is it possible for Yaahl to appear in there?

[glossy drum]

Yaahl is DZ, so not likely, no.

[robust fog]

How do you do the Technician stage 4 "Kill Raven by first destroying his ammo pack". The ammo pack on his body right? you shoot it and raven goes on fire. ive tried twice where i kill him in the fire animation, and one after. i still cant complete it

[civic junco]

I have seen System Corruption and Yaahl drop in Escalation under specific gear piece TL

There are also people who said they dropped a proto Dark Winter but I haven't personally seen that

[glossy drum]

Check if it needs to be a certain difficulty level, some of those targets may need it to be story or hard to work correctly (it'll say if that's the case).

[robust fog]

omg, its normal or higher... so story mode doesnt count. THanks

but its weird. i vaguely recall when i first read it, there was no difficult requirement

[nimble spruce]

The UI thing that appears when you 'track' the field research tasks doesn't mention the minimum difficulty requirement, you have to check the full task description in the progress menu or at the specialisation desk to see it. Catches quite a few people out.

[robust fog]

Ah ok, thanks!

[tame sequoia]

Easiest Escalation mission this week you guys reckon?

[civic junco]

All of them? None of the ones this week have anything in them that is particularly difficult

[tame sequoia]

Yeah Jeferson Trade isn't bad but there's a few sticky spots where you can be flanked if you aren't onto it as a team

I think I like bunker the best if people know the spot at the end

[stiff canyon]

more important question, what the heck is that outfit

[rose abyss]

Just came to mind, with the double dismantle event (idk the name of it) do you recon it will work with prototype cores?

I currently waiting for it for a bunch of exotic components

[carmine dove]

Hello. I’m still getting disconnected (Delta) and I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue? I’m on PC-EU

[nimble spruce]

Unlikely. The events tend to only give double of the materials specific to the event type (eg optimisation event only doubles optimisation materials, not all crafting ones)

So unless it's a Prototype event, it won't give double proto cores

(and proto events don't exist yet afaik)

[hollow reef]

Proto core is needed to craft prototype gear isnt it? If yes then it should be doubled.

Though at this point in time, we're definitely still far from it. I could use the event to push through the remaining 5 levels of expertise by spamming countdown, deconstruct printer filament, then donate it towards expertise.

[zinc fable]

I have houndsman bounty. If you need just dm me

[jovial wind]

Thanks for the offer, but it's not really important.

[lyric dove]

anyone know if it's a bugg with the library of congress comms? I only have 5 out of 6 comms. All youtube videos have only 5 comms buy in collectibles it says 5/6 comms.

[wraith flare]

I ran through it earlier and there was nothing so I would assume a bug

[fallen island]

Does the last guy in the Federal Bunker have some weak spots ot just aim the head?

[keen horizon]

Just aim for the head, outcast chungas don't have a weak spot but they're easy enough to kite

[left ravine]

It's an Outcasts chunga, gotta break his armor

[fallen island]

Thanks

[left ravine]

Survivalist crossbow is your friend

[spare atlas]

Hello, been away for a few weeks - did they fix the bug with some objectives not counting while you had a retaliation ready to go? Nvm found it in patchnotes, just had to look at an earlier one

[pure bone]

So seen this graph for escalations- does that mean a T10 host would deposit 87 to only get 94 tokens back? Or do they receive the deposit back too? Surely that means been host is just not worth it?

[oak gazelle]

net gain of 7, right
tbh I pointed that out on the PTS, but it got lost in all the Escalation bashing 😄

[keen horizon]

They would profit 94, meaning they get the 87 back + 94

[pure bone]

That’s what I was thinking but so host would receive 181?

[oak gazelle]

no

you gain 7 atm, while your group members get 25

[pure bone]

Ahh right so absolute pointless been a host for escalations then haha

[oak gazelle]

alex (beeerzi) said on X that he is looking into changing that in the future

[keen horizon]

I wish I could've been in the meeting where this was proposed, because good lord

[nimble spruce]

Host gets all of the risk and half of the reward.
Imo all group members should pay the same token cost, and get the same reward

That way you're all as invested in the success of the mission

[narrow echo]

the health of the game has been battered by the proto and esca system. a little common sense from the lead dev wouldve gone a long way.

[oak gazelle]

I'm fine with that, when the system is more robust
but the least thing they could change is giving the leader the same or more tokens than the group members that didn't contribute in any way right now

[oak gazelle]

a completion reward would fix that as well (other than just tokens)

[nimble spruce]

Tbh the current cost/profit ratio doesn't seem good to me as it is, you'd need to succeed in over 13 t10s to recoup the cost of 1 failure, that's rather excessive

(if you're hosting/soloing every time obv)

[oak gazelle]

yea still tied to the high risk low reward for the leader

[mellow trout]

Leaders certainly need a lot of extra incentive

The state of some of these builds has got me losing faith in my abilities to prop people up

[idle jetty]

Is there an exotic acs-12?

[junior sequoia]

No in the second game

[unkempt mulch]

for farming the Unit Alloy kneepads, is it better to target kneepads or UA??

[dapper root]

UA

[silk granite]

what's the best way to farm library?

[hollow reef]

Keep track of them one by one I guess, loot every stuffs that has at least one god rolled attribute.

[hollow reef]

None in Div2, though theres one in Div1 called the Showstopper.

[silk granite]

i only have lmgs and pistols left so im just running count down with target loot on lmgs or pistols im just curios if there is a better way to improve my odds. i do loot everything i come acrost and check after

[hollow reef]

Countdown still the best place to farm yes.

[hollow widget]

What do people mean by donating items? I’ve only known library > tinker > (I think it’s called experience table) > dismantle

[idle jetty]

Expertise

[hollow reef]

Expertise is available in the tinkering station.

[idle jetty]

Press I to view Inventory > Press M to open Workshop menus > Select Expertise on the far right > donate items to max proficiency 10

You can either donate materials or copies of that weapon/nameditem/brandset/gearset

[hollow widget]

Expertise = donating?

and what exactly does it do. I think I saw I get a perk at max rank?

[hollow reef]

There are two ways. Using the item itself or donate a copy of that item for you to be proficient in that item.

[pseudo tundra]

Become proficient with an item, you can upgrade it to your expertise level

Profiecient with more items = more expertise

Its a slow grind

[hollow reef]

For weapon, you get +30% Weapon Damage and for gear, you get +30% Armor.

At total max level 30 in Expertise.

[hollow reef]

Btw, is it true that +30% Weapon Damage for expertise is equal to 2 red cores?

I heard rumor its actually just 16% Weapon Damage.

[hollow widget]

Oh that is awesome, my St Elmo’s is probably close since I got it with the level 40 guide

[wispy merlin]

it is still 30% weapon damage, but the overall increase in damage is just around 16%

[hollow reef]

So technically speaking its equal to 1 red core?

[wispy merlin]

no... 1 red core gives even less increase

you need to think of it as in "how much does my overall damage go up"

[hollow reef]

The boost is massive then.

[pseudo tundra]

it's a slow grind you dont rush unless you want ot hate the game

[hollow reef]

uh yeah I dont really care about expertise

or even prototype

I'll get there sooner or later.

[wispy merlin]

let's just reduce it down to 2 things: base damage and weapon damage.

i have 100 base damage and 0% weapon damage. then my damage per shot is 100 × (1 + 0) = 100, same as normal.

if i have 10% weapon damage now, it's 100 × (1 + 0.1) = 110. 110/100 = 1.1, which means you increased your damage by 10% compared to when you have 0% weapon damage.

if you instead have 20%, then it's 100 × (1 + 0.2) = 120. but 120/110 = 1.09091. around 9% increase. so it becomes smaller.

if you continue adding 10% weapon damage like this the increase actually gets smaller and smaller. same thing happens with the 30% weapon damage from expertise.

[hollow spoke]

What does increased threat do?

[hollow reef]

Enemy will most likely shoot you first.

[hollow reef]

Ah ok thanks.

[hollow spoke]

So it’s meant for more tanky builds

[mellow trout]

Yes, but because of how threat works dps players end up having the most of it anyway

[queen glen]

how does one get a perfect +6.0% CHC mod?

[hollow spoke]

Is ninja bike in the general loot pool still?

[hollow reef]

Yeah well getting a godrolled gearmod has always been a pain in the ass so good luck.

[strange harbor]

13% 💀

[wispy merlin]

depends on expertise sir

[idle jetty]

Legendary summit usually. I’ve had some lucky drops in Escalation 5+

[queen glen]

figures. most of what i have are sitting around 5+ so i figured there's a better chance of getting a perfect roll. thank you

[noble ocean]

Does someone know of a fix for not getting the option to Upgrade my L30 prof gear to Proto
I did it for my Stoner a few weeks back, but can't upgrade my Vedmestya, Nego or Grupo

[north pier]

Try unequipping them.

[noble ocean]

Ah, tysm! I've been lost for a while 😅

[crimson dagger]

Can the catalyst mask drop in countdown ?

[idle jetty]

Is there a way to know if Overdogs buff is applied other than “number get bigger”?

[pseudo tundra]

nope

[crimson dagger]

🫩

[lusty ocean]

Server issues again

[winter mason]

Im downloading Ubiconnect update rn

What's worth farming?

[finite oriole]

between overdogs and hollowman, which is considered better for escalation, generally?

[winter mason]

I think it's Overdawgs

[finite oriole]

probs federal, for backpacks I reckon

[winter mason]

i might be wrong im not a big connoisseur

[slim elk]

both

[winter mason]

Can a proto Stricker's backpack drop there?

[finite oriole]

technically yeah

[pseudo tundra]

yeah

[fast light]

With the new ar leaked, anyone have any information on how it previously worked. Was it any 2 talents in the game or just specific to ar talents?

Obviously we won’t know anything until the official drop but just curious

[fleet jolt]

Hey everyone quick question

im trying to get regulus pistol and sadly i missed 1 boss drop and 1 key
if i played again this week can i get the regulus's piece and the 1 key?

[pseudo tundra]

caduceus? it was crits would heal everyone based on your skillpower

[idle jetty]

Yeah, both will still be there. Reset was Tuesday, so you may be able to get all the keys.

[fleet jolt]

yea i played after today's reset

can i still get them this week?

[idle jetty]

Did you kill the boss that drops the piece you need?

[fleet jolt]

yeah but i'm guessing cuz we got delta -3 so didn't count or smthn

but we finished the raid afterwards

[idle jetty]

If you saw the loot on the ground, then it should not drop again.

Until next reset

(Specifically applies to the exotic parts needed for regulus)

[golden geode]

is this new

[fleet jolt]

welp thanks tho

[pseudo tundra]

this season gimmick

[golden geode]

how many classified assignments are there ment to be

[idle jetty]

That’s classified.

[winter mason]

Do you buy these with Escalashun tokens?

ty

was looking for Federal Emergency why did the game decid to take me here

[idle jetty]

If you matchmake it’s kinda random which map you get.

[left ravine]

It matchmakes by tier, not by mission. It tells you this with a big red text in the main menu

[novel root]

What's the fastest/most efficient method of leveling up my expertise to 30?

[slim elk]

reading is hard

[vast socket]

What is a mission with a skull symbol?

[glossy drum]

Escalation.

[vast socket]

how can I do that?

I wanted to try this new difficulty

[glossy drum]

The same way you do any other mission, you'll start at tier 0 and unlock higher tiers as you go. The level of difficulty spikes considerably however.

The full list of available escalation missions can be seen at the Whitehouse, next to the countdown vendor in the courtyard.

[tawdry meteor]

I'm trying to do the Manhunt Week 1/9 Objective 1, at United Ironworks and the last boss seems borderline impossible as a solo player, what's the best difficulty for me to matchmake on?

[vast socket]

And how do I start the mission? I dont have the option to do so

[left ravine]

What is your SHD level?

[vast socket]

4000 shd

[left ravine]

Then you should not have issues. You need to unlock tier after tier, starting with T0

[vast socket]

do I need a currency to do that? or something like that

[left ravine]

Yes but you start by farming the lowest tiers

[bold tiger]

yes, T0 need nothing, but each tier costs escalation currency to run

[left ravine]

Wtf did I write that got blocked?

[ivory vale]

hey fellas, what's your go-to spot for the global event challenges? invaded tidal basin or something?

[left ravine]

Earning?

No that works

[vast socket]

but what is tier zero?
playing normally at heroic?
Because I have no prompt or anything to start scalation
I did heroic once and nothing happened

[left ravine]

So Escalations is meant to be the newest endgame of endgame content. T0 is pretty much heroic

[bold tiger]

you gotta check the panel by the countdown vendor to see which missions are escalated. think they change daily?

[left ravine]

You need to escalate a mission if you stand in front of the mission panel or deal with that via the panel in the WH

[vast socket]

I thought the missions with a skull symbol were escalation

[left ravine]

They are

If you can't figure that out yourself you might wanna watch a guide or something on YT

[vast socket]

omg the UI for that is so weird. OK
I found it

thank you everyone

thank god something hard other than legendaries lol
I did those for years

[left ravine]

You cannot compare legendary to Escalations

[vast socket]

why?

And do enemies change their AI? or its just hp/damage?

[left ravine]

You will see yourself when you read the contents of the Escalations board.
Also, Escalations use heroic NPC AI

[bold tiger]

t1-10 they get extra modifiers

[vast socket]

oh yeah true, I saw that

[bold tiger]

oh and t1-t10 they get more health and armor i believe?

[vast socket]

thank u all again

[wooden shell]

how do i have 3 prototype caches, is there an event or something
I don't really follow this game's news

[winter mason]

Its was a compensation from the devs

[wooden shell]

oh, did they mess up?

[winter mason]

Connectivty isssues

Ton of Deltas

[wooden shell]

oh okay, that's cool

the compensation i mean

[nimble spruce]

'start earning' - it's a really common phrase in scam posts

[left ravine]

Ah the combination of words. Makes sense

[fast light]

Says it also rolls 2 random talents? Or was the phrases different in division 1 and talents mean attributes?

[nimble spruce]

Division one guns all had three talents

[pseudo tundra]

kinda how on release we also had 3

[tough marsh]

Holstered talents my beloved

Just kidding, I don't miss any of it

[pseudo tundra]

i mean secondary talents were just extra stats with a name

at least hte memory of some of them live in descent

[fast light]

darn the talent of having 2 random talents sounds way better lol oh well guess we will wait and see

[pseudo tundra]

it was nothing like that but sure

[elfin gyro]

is there anything i should know before doing escalation? like the etiquette or something i have to bring in?

[pseudo tundra]

a good build

you need to be able to breeze through heroic

everyone needs to carry their own weight

[earnest harness]

is she bugged or

[livid bear]

Are skill build accepted by escalation players

[slim elk]

Refactor up to T4 and FI/EP above T5

[rugged stratus]

ep really?

[slim elk]

maybe mortar

idk, I've seen CC players in RMM

[rugged stratus]

but does the build perform?

[slim elk]

only if the team does too

[rugged stratus]

ep sounds trash for status immune npcs*

[slim elk]

it kinda is but helps a little bit, I would rather have an FI player

[bleak oracle]

ep just wouldn’t spread at all

[mellow trout]

It only works if you have a coordinated group

[rugged stratus]

even then, idk

[mellow trout]

Good EP with creeping death can foam rooms from the get go and ideally it proliferates to new spawns

[restive fog]

Just tested out my OD build in t5 and its crap. The bleed does proc but just for a split second which means sadist is almost ever active. Switched out to TS after the first encounter lol

[hearty fractal]

Need some help. My shd watch level used to show up but now it’s not showing up in my menu. I’m still able to level up. It’s annoying to see the exclamation mark blinking

[wispy merlin]

it does actually if you kill them fast enough. even when the status "disappears" when they get cleansed by the mutator, its duration is still running in the background, and when they die it still spreads

[bleak oracle]

ohhhh I see

[wispy merlin]

though more importantly i still like having EP because trapping NPCs when they spawn is still really nice to have. foam is nice, just like how fire nade is nice. but on the same token you can just run foam as well on FI

[rugged stratus]

didnt know that 😍

foam mortar eclipse incoming

[rugged stratus]

is it worth expertising/proto a frenzy gr9 for striker or is* the other lmg ppl been using kinda better? most likely only for escalations

[wispy merlin]

imo you can't really go wrong with it. the biggest downside gr9 has is its rpm outside of frenzy which makes it take longer if you have to empty a non-frenzied mag so people recommend the other ones. but if you're okay with that then go ahead, i don't think it's a wrong choice

[rugged stratus]

good deal, still have to dump components into it

didnt want to waste

[wind flax]

So i built/crafted the Waveform from a blueprint i got from playing retaliations, but i got a crap roll on it. i cant find where to reconfigure it. Inaya isnt selling the reconfiguration BP for me. am i missing something? edit: i just logged out and back in again and it seemed to have fixed the issue.

[junior zephyr]

Anyone knows how do I get the sheriff shotgun? I target looted it for very long no luck. Must I really do the master manhunt mission?

[slim elk]

Retaliations for the crafting blueprint

[clever ocean]

Wow

The prototype augments are so boring

I understand that they had to add bad ones into the pool to dilute it

But they probably could've done stuff more interesting than your bullets do double dmg

[snow cargo]

Wait till you see players not figuring out builds and just throwing on proto gear where they can. I call it proto slop....

[daring steeple]

Which mission this week is the goto farm for escal?

[pseudo tundra]

well depends on the daily loot, but the short and sweet ones are probably bunker and jefferson

[daring steeple]

ah okay... I've been doing bunker. I guess I can try jeff some tomorrow. think I'm done for the night though, just got delta'd.

[ivory vale]

speaking of escal, what's the strat going in as a first-timer. run the same stuff over and over and dump coins in for higher tiers before spending on crates?

[daring steeple]

first-timer but how strong is your gear? are you soloing heroic on the regular, etc?

[snow cargo]

Do heroics and learn normal first.

[ivory vale]

i stick to challenging on usual content, but i have a fairly competent striker (and i guess a refactor) build so i've been matchmaking t3s

[strange harbor]

in addition to what Dien said, Gr9 frenzy active also has higher dps than MK46

[icy delta]

anyone know a good way of getting the tinkerer exotic?

[viral crown]

something tells me it shouldnt look like this lol

[fickle ravine]

working as intended

[left ravine]

I'd say so, otherwise it would already be fixed, right? Just going by the amount of times it has been reported

[inner tendon]

The devs forgot to press the "fix all problems instantly" button again.

Really should be automatic.

[left ravine]

Just a focus on things that annoy the community a lot would be a good start

[rugged stratus]

looks good from my house, you musta broke it

[left ravine]

I was more referring to the backpack skin not being saved properly

[bright jolt]

Does open world scale with players too?

[tame sequoia]

I hope there's something worth farming in Escalation for my day off tomorrow

[jovial wind]

I can't log into Ubi Connect, what things should I try?

[left ravine]

Nothing you can do AFAIK

[jovial wind]

I see it's not just me. That sucks

[robust fog]

Is there a guide on what passive modifiers from the recombinant bench to buy first?

[jovial wind]

thx a bunch

[robust fog]

im so confused, how do you overcharge a skill

[nimble spruce]

You use a talent that grants overcharge (eg btsu gloves, future perfect, Acostas bag, etc) or the seasonal active modifier that gives overcharge

[robust fog]

Oh so i cant complete the journey stage 6 without those. rip

[nimble spruce]

Journey tasks often require you to use the season modifiers, yeah - you only need to 'turn in' journey 3 to get everything you need to complete the rest of the journey though, if you're trying to hold out for stretch goals

[slim elk]

now I can understand why people think Chow is agressive

[viscid iris]

Please tell me which attributes are best to leave on this bulletproof vest?

[snow cargo]

SIR....

[inner tendon]

That reminds me of the knock-off Raucey I once found.

[snow cargo]

The normal Talent with a better brandset better to have... well easier since most the time you need to DPS for the talent to be good so you need CHC/CHD. The P. version that comes with armor core and not a useful brandset bonus is worth.

[hollow reef]

So thats the secret. He always angy

[tough marsh]

Chow no-Fun

[inner tendon]

Be nice, or I'll take your fish away.

[wraith ridge]

are you not able to prototype weapons with perfect talents?

[tough marsh]

you can

[lusty ocean]

Did they fix the Lullaby/Ruthless farm when creating new char?

[somber spoke]

Yes from what I’ve heard

[lusty ocean]

But they can't give me my 1000 watch levels that I didnt earn last 5x XP event

[hybrid fiber]

ok im not sure if i somehow missed a collectible in library of congress, or if they added a sixth one with the release of capitol globe

did it always have 6 collectibles

[nimble spruce]

Several others have asked the same thing so I suspect it's just 5 for now

[calm harbor]

i thought they fix delta 03

[zinc hemlock]

I am missing only one of the Danver's Network cards. Is there a specific one that is not in the open world? I have killed SO many open world bosses in Brooklyn.

[nocturne siren]

His character accuracy is spot on. Really captures the horrors he's seen as an agent and whatever gear people tend to run when they ask for help with content

[full granite]

each card is tied to a specific open world boss

just gotta keep teleporting to different spawn locations till you get the one you need

[zinc hemlock]

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks. I will work my way through them all.

Hopefully RNGesus graces me.

[full granite]

just look at which one you are missing, no need to kill them every time

[zinc hemlock]

They all must die.

😂 okay maybe that was a bit dark.

[calm harbor]

holy moly open world is boring without kitchen noobies

[zinc hemlock]

Okay, that took me a second. 🤣

And yeah, must say I miss them kinda. I am just back on commendation hunting now.

[mellow trout]

I believe it's bugged

Both have 5 Comms and an echo

[covert escarp]

Which chest is better with obliterate - Fenris or Walker Harris Co?

[zinc hemlock]

Really depends on what precisely you are trying to do with your build. Both can be good, but Equalizer is best since it has Perfect Obilterate.

But I assume you already know about Equalizer.

[covert escarp]

Im trying to do this build

https://youtu.be/xYYGasEY6Ss?si=F_uVHfQnUAtCbqCe

[mellow trout]

Lemme stop you right there

Neither walker or fenris is much good on a striker build because your weapon damage stat is already inflated by red cores and your gun

[ivory vale]

that build seems flawed - suggesting streamline on the m4 should be a big red flag

[zinc hemlock]

Interesting build with the Bloodsucker. My route is just more damage, but if you are going that build just for the fun of testing something else out just go with what you like.

But like they ^ just said it is flawed if you want to min-max

[mellow trout]

Rock and roll is a strange choice given they're not running the striker chest either

[zinc hemlock]

Also weird not going with the striker backpack. It is the strongest piece of Striker IMO

[mellow trout]

Eh in any case the video is engagement bait, nothing new

[zinc hemlock]

So i guess @covert escarp the build is kinda flawed in general. It really won't matter much what you go with on the chest. Just go with that you like.

I can suggest some stuff if you want a better build, but if not just run that build if you want. The game is about having fun in the end.

[covert escarp]

Yes, please. Id appreciate it. Pretty confused 🤣

[zinc hemlock]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt2umV5LL_M

Taking into account that I have been a Rogue Gold fan for a while now. He makes some very good builds.

just choose one of those, but the St Elmo's Striker build is the good one for damage. You are a bit of a glass cannon though. Make sure to use the shield and cover a lot.

Also I personally don't run Overdogs, the gloves. I run this

Excuse the washed-out screenshot. HDR and screenshots don't mix well.

[warm salmon]

Overdogs is still a big buff even if you only hit the lowest tier half of the time

[zinc hemlock]

Yeah, I just liked the Salvo and Equalizer more. I will probably switch to Overdogs soon if I get bored.

Just such a mission to switch gear when it comes to the Expertise cost to upgrade it all etc.

[warm salmon]

what kind of build do you want anyway?

[covert escarp]

@zinc hemlock Thank you I will check him out

[zinc hemlock]

Np any time 👍

[warm salmon]

Youtube is rarely good for builds

[covert escarp]

Tank dps one, I have realistic expectations for the damage output. But I run around non-stop and need reasonable survivability

[warm salmon]

😌 i'm not gonna ask but a techtank might work, doesn't trade much damage for survivability

[zinc hemlock]

Agreed to a certain extent. Builds by nature always vary, but I feel Rogue Gold gives me a good starting point. From there you learn and adjust. Better than learning it all for myself.

[warm salmon]

basically just take a dps gearset and use memento, technician spec, shield, and artificer hive

[zinc hemlock]

I second this. What I just advised @covert escarp is really VERY DPS focused. You can't take at all with it. 😂

[warm salmon]

At best, youtube just repeats what we'd say here. At worst, they're terrible builds that only seem good because of global events

[covert escarp]

What is a techtank?

[warm salmon]

^

[covert escarp]

With technician?

[zinc hemlock]

True, but I prefer to watch a video while cooking or something. Tons of reading gets to me and I am reading so much at work already in tech docs. 😂

[covert escarp]

Thanks once again, ill get my instruments

[plucky hawk]

He really doesn't...

[zinc hemlock]

Who would you recommend?

[plucky hawk]

iKia has a long backlog of a ton of very in depth build videos. Or check the pinned spreadsheet in the build advice channel. Rogue is just a typical clickbait guy

[zinc hemlock]

Eh, he works for me, but definitely not perfect.

[modest trellis]

can matador drop from retaliation?

or matador BP

[pseudo tundra]

blueprint from reconstructed caches

retal doesnt give named items blueprints only exotics

cant remember if matador is DZ locked so named caches might be the best approach

[mellow trout]

It is

[modest trellis]

what are reconstructed caches

i see it now

did their used to be a DZ cache or am i mistaken?

[pseudo tundra]

Named item caches can drop DZ items

[junior sequoia]

It's a cache that gives you a random named + random named blueprint.

@wraith flare ROGUE AGENT DETECTED

[wraith flare]

[queen glen]

it's stuck like this :')

oh nvm tp'ing anywhere completed the bounty. strange

[spiral thistle]

Yes named caches include all nammed weapons in the game except for a few that are loocked behind certain progression paths like specialisations

[junior sequoia]

Specialization and event related nameds like Lexington, stack broker, first bloom (I think).

[wet swan]

Will we see a "open multiple" on regular apparel caches in future updates as the current method of opening caches is slow and clunky thanks

[heady stirrup]

Does the dialouge for (new mission spoilers) ||the Capitol Globe mission change if you get all the collectables before the shutter? If so, how does it change?||

[worn cypress]

Could we get a ui mark for the lowest tier enemy in combat for overdogs gloves it would definitely help

[tawny wagon]

What was the fastest way to get BT retaliations again?

[pseudo tundra]

Invaded missions or.bounties

Just make sure you dont have another faction retal active

[tawny wagon]

Or leg Tidal basin, right.

[pseudo tundra]

i think just heroic is fine

but it's any BT activity and usually longer means more retaliation bar

[supple girder]

Yo guys how to farm Max mod in the game?

[keen horizon]

Targeted loot gear mods

[spiral thistle]

Invaded and any open world activities my favourite is low difficulty bt bounties

[supple girder]

I can’t get max like CHC 6%

[pseudo tundra]

there is no magical trick, it's just luck

[restive fog]

Yo bros has anyone gotten the claws out named holster to proto? Does it gain 750% melee?

I need to know pls

[pseudo tundra]

it should be getting the pistol damage upgraded no?

well both

you know what i'm going to open the game and upgrade it to proto to check

[restive fog]

Thanks bird shot, you da best

[novel root]

Do higher Escalation tiers increase the quality of attributes?

[pseudo tundra]

yes

[restive fog]

Thank you bird!!

[dreamy quest]

търся българи за помож ако има

[brittle ledge]

What’s the best way to grind expertise level 30?

[keen horizon]

Farming targeted loot mostly, it's not a quick or easy grind though

[ivory vale]

targeted loot for things you don't have and donate to the proficiency grinder

[keen horizon]

Donating materials is also an option, but it drains your mats quickly

[brittle ledge]

proficiency grinder? sorry im a returning player but also im kind of a noob rn cuz im not caught up on a lot but i do wanna learn more about everything there is to know

[keen horizon]

basically it just means donating junk to proficiency for progress

[pseudo tundra]

server is usually in english but you can use other languages to matchmake in #lfg-pc

[ivory vale]

you can designate gear as junk and then donate said junk to the proficiency expertise library, which increases the rank of those items/gearsets

(i'm also still a fresh player don't judge me)

alternatively, wearing/using the gear in your battles will also grant some modicum of experience to each piece

[plucky jewel]

is t5 escalation solo-able? or just stick to 4 or so? i dont mind the grind tbh

[keen horizon]

Depends on the build, I'd say if you're having consistency clearing T4s solo, you should be okay for T5s

[brittle ledge]

i also heard about grinding printer filament so i just wanted to know if there were other strategies

[plucky jewel]

alright,. just tipping scales and striker. from the spreadsheet linked in build chat. Ill just refarm those 2 sets

[ivory vale]

you can selectively contribute materials to do so, but i don't know that that's worthwhile

[pseudo tundra]

printer filament is teh thing with the best cost benefit of all the mats, but only worry about that if you ran out of items to grind and level up properly

[keen horizon]

Filament, receiver comps and protective fabric are usually what's recommend

[pseudo tundra]

if you see that you have spare, sure donate to items that you dont think you will get like some old event weapons and so on

[ivory vale]

maxing out my festive delivery with filaments expeditiously

[analog chasm]

Anyone played around with repair skill vs incoming repair mods in a pvp sense? Is there a clear winner in regards to self healing?

[left ravine]

You should ask that in #td2-pvp-discussions

[spare girder]

Anyone know what the TTRPG Division thing is?

[left ravine]

You can find more info via Google. Kickstarter lists all infos

[plucky jewel]

thought on the new LMG?

[spare girder]

Is the Kaduceus exotic weapon good?

[idle jetty]

Does Oxidizer break Achilles Pulse Weakpoints?

[left ravine]

It's not even in the game yet lol. We don't know anything about it in Div2

[wispy merlin]

yes

[spare girder]

Afaik, it's in Division 1 but I wanna know if it's a good weapon in the 1st game or not

[left ravine]

It wasn't meta if you're asking that. You're asking confusing questions tho

[silk granite]

so im trying to start the long road to expertise 30 and i was curios whats the fastest way to do that? my though was to get all the skills first and go from there

[keen horizon]

skills and named items are the hardest parts imo, but don't expect it to be a quick grind

[wraith flare]

donate all your junk items to expertise

[wraith flare]

if you've got the credits to buy them you only need to donate 20 of them

[tacit plover]

still got serial delta 03s today) nobody wants to be group leader

[silk granite]

oh ya i forgot u can do that

[restive fog]

It was really good when it came out. But got nerfed hard later on. Unless you sacrificed the damage talents for crit talents on it, it wasn't really good. Wasn't worth losing damage talents which affected skills at the time.

[winter moss]

need help with Manhunt:General Aderson on Master 🙁

idk try to do the first time for Sheriff 🥹

[royal cypress]

In my experience, keep track of what vendors offer in terms of named items. Like .drib said you need less of them compared to normal items, it should be relatively quick since the resources needed to buy them (e-credits, countdown tokens mainly) are easier to obtain. So you can buy multiple of them and donate them via junk.
Global Events also help a ton since you can earn stars via level-up and challenges so you can focus on buying named items caches (which also drop difficult to obtain named items) and donate bad rolls.

Brand and Gear sets are also easier to farm since you can just start a game of countdown, select the targeted loot and pick up everything as junk and donate at the end of a session.

[fair vigil]

If you dont really need materials, donate all the trash loot you get while playing, other is Countdown to shot down brand by brand.

Also try to lookout for Expertise events, people usually just wait for them because is waaay easier to get more than a few levels during those.

When Kenly College is open, you could go with a friend that has an infinite oxidizer build, theres is a loot cave there, while it doesnt yield that much exp, it does make your proficiency go up quite fast, hoar all the brands youre missing and just soak up the proficiency while the enemies die.

[little haven]

I would like some advice on how to get to expertise 30 quicker if possible, I'm at level 26 and I basically just have all exotic weapons and gear left and most skills. How can I get there faster?

[rain mulch]

You got anything better to do?

[junior sequoia]

Does the first bloom drop from houndsman? Or it just fall on the category of Lexington and stack broker.

[rain mulch]

AFAIK, First Bloom is gonna be locked for awhile. It'll likely join the seasonal named item rotation eventually.

[fair vigil]

You could try donating resources or wait for and Expertise event.

You must be past the point were you can level up passively by just playing and donating junk, so is gonna take some time...

[rain mulch]

I mean you can always passively get the Expertise XP so long as you have the items to level up. It's more that it gets harder to find those unleveled items as you advance.

[little haven]

Okay thanks for the help.

[idle jetty]

What’s the calculation for Special Weapons? Or are they the same as everything else?

[wispy merlin]

signature weapons are also calculated the same way, the main difference is in the SWD. signature weapons only receive "signature weapon damage" (for example tip of the spear has this stat), this is not available from most other sources. AWD from red cores and expertise, etc. still apply

[mellow shale]

From the looks of it keep the Armor and Regen. Roll handling for Hazard. Those 3 (Armor “core” and sub attributes) are the general recipe for a regen or tank build. To be honest with enemy scaling, this kind of build is generally a PVP solo type build.

[mellow shale]

Yes and no. The modifiers used to unlock via completing journeys. This season only a few unlocked via the journey and you can earn the credits to purchase additional modifiers via that vendor. For example there is one modifier in the vendor that trades the modifier for skill damage to skill repair but can only be equipped if you purchase it from there.

[idle jetty]

So Sniper Rifle Special Weapon does not get MMR damage bonus?

[wispy merlin]

nope.

the game also hints at this to you, the weapon type for it is "Signature Weapon"

[mellow shale]

You can go to your expertise, select the gear or weapon you want to level up and push the button for “view donation materials”. From there you can select from any materials you have that will upgrade your level. Typically printer filament is the fastest bit use whatever you’re in abundance of. You can also replenish many of the materials from your SHD resources “on your watch”.

[idle jetty]

It can still get all the other bonuses from the Graphic though right? Headshot/crit/Overdogs Amp?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[mellow shale]

The Caduceus is a throw back to D1 that boosted the repair of your reclaimer or healing build. I recall it being used but on higher tier content like resistance most players used high end weapons with multiple talents. The Caduceus hasn’t been released yet for D2 so there’s no way to know what its attribute rolls and talent will be.

[nimble spruce]

please use #lfg-pc when looking for players to join in-game

[tacit plover]

Wonder if it could be delta issue, ppl've been just aggressively afraid of being escal leader since yesterday

[nimble spruce]

Maybe partly that but also the shop means players are chasing that higher token reward (and no risk of token loss). I was also finding leaders dropping group/ passing lead even before the start of this week though, the token shop has just made it worse.

[misty nymph]

heyo

[teal orbit]

If you’re at 26 with exotics and skills left - it’s a grind.

Equip 2 skills and the exotics - one gear, one weapon that need proficiency.
For the rest of the build use something that clears content fast.
Do countdown with the targeted loot set to any gearset -
Break it all down to materials.

Countdown has the highest number of enemies, which will level up the gear.
Anything you break down will give you receiver components or fabric, depending on what it is.
But gear sets will also grant you titanium, electronics and carbon fiber, which you can also donate towards proficiency.

[idle jetty]

Is it better to just target mods and scrap them for printer filament?

[green pendant]

-1080 million damage means what ? It’s post mission summary

[left ravine]

Means that person topped 2.14b damage and due to an integer overflow the damage is displayed negative afterwards, then theoretically loops back to positive

[green pendant]

I did that lol 😂

[civic junco]

So even if you get back into game with the same group before an Escalation ends you still lose your ante on the mission. . .

This crashing since the last few weeks need to be fixed

[fleet saffron]

How to count dmg when it's negative?

[civic junco]

don't

It's a worthless stat

[slim elk]

in what? stats final screen?

[fleet saffron]

Yeah

[slim elk]

also, count dmg for what exactly?
it just means you went over the integer cap (2^32)

[fleet saffron]

To normal numbers, like how much is -1,4b in positive numbers

[slim elk]

It's simple math, just get the number of 2^32 and sum positive 1.4bil

[fleet saffron]

Hm ig

[bleak oracle]

yes but you dont know how many times it loops

[civic junco]

If I did the math right 7,189,934,592

[fleet saffron]

It's 2^31 btw

Not 32

Seems to be just under 3b tho

[civic junco]

5,042,450,944

[fleet saffron]

Huh

[civic junco]

2^31+((2^31)-1,400,000,000)

That's assuming it only looped once in the mission, it can loop multiple times

So worthless stat

[fleet saffron]

I rly doubt it's looping more than once

Under escalation idk 7

[slim elk]

it's very difficult to reach two complete loops unless you look at the dmg dealt in the detailed stats screen

[civic junco]

if it is 7 then it looped multiple times just by the amount of HP mobs have

[fleet saffron]

It was 3

I said if it was 7+ it maybe could've looped more times

[slim elk]

you just did huge amounts of dmg, don't overthink it

[fleet saffron]

I was still 1,4b dmg from another loop

[analog chasm]

Ya if it was T3 you just hit integer cap and came back down

[reef token]

Hey guys ! Gotta get myself a Ceska Vest with specific talent & attributes. How should I farm it ? By targeting Ceska loot or body armor ?

[fleet saffron]

Tbf can't you inflate your dmg if you want to hard on plates?

[civic junco]

tanky boys have a loop in themselves it seems like at tier 10 sometimes

[analog chasm]

Target Ceska and run countdown or retaliation

[pine magnet]

Again problem?

[reef token]

Thank you, just wanted to be sure about that

[civic junco]

When is Caduceus coming out?

[pseudo tundra]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[civic junco]

Think that is the master mission this time?

[pseudo tundra]

People are guessing the brroklyn event

[left ravine]

No, that is Whiplash

[pseudo tundra]

No master mission is the whiplash revolver

[civic junco]

oh

I want my old faithful back

Running Pier with Caduceus and Classified Striker was fun

[misty tapir]

is there a way to mute the sound of that weapon its very annoing for the grp members ?

[onyx lance]

Trust is blind

[reef token]

Is it possible to craft ceska gear ? I got 999 ceska materials so I'm asking

[left ravine]

You should consult your crafting bench maybe to see yourself what's craftable and what not

[reef token]

Oh I wasn't able to find any ceska body armor but I can see the mask

So can't craft ceska body armor ? I can't even see the greyed blueprint

[left ravine]

Yeah certain pieces are craftable while others aren't

Think it was chest, gloves and holster aren't? Double check to verify

[brittle sandal]

hey everyone. Not sure how much this is asked but would it be a good time to come back to the game? Haven't played in years and i'm wanting to come back but i'm worried that some people are already too advanced compared to me and there's no way i can catch up in terms of gear etc

[left ravine]

Sure you can catch up lol

Not sure why you'd think that

[fleet saffron]

Actually you can have best gear in few runs, well if the rotation allows it for escalation

[open ether]

Anyone know about Relay Ready Main Missions at New York? I can't find this.. I put track but not shown where is the location. Help me? /Invite GalaxyAngelz or add ubi: GALAXIA15

I'm behind myself and I don't feel the need to catch up to anyone, as long as I can play to have fun and enjoy myself, I'll be glad, and you should to

[brittle sandal]

Great then, i'm about to restart a new character from 0 lol

[onyx lance]

Oh I see, have fun hahahah

[pure estuary]

I just came back about 5 weeks ago to a fresh start from PC(previously on Xbox). It is extremely easy to catch up to Heroic/Legendary missions. I do recommend learning about the expertise system, its the only true grind in the game now, but you can level it up as you play normally if you are not in a rush. The playerbase gets a little snooty around high tier escalations, but other than that, they are extremely helpful. Massive amount of quality of life improvements since I played WoNY.

[brittle sandal]

ANd regarding the expertise system, does it give you a lot of bonus?

[pure estuary]

30% weapon damage and 30% armor bonus, per piece at max. and then once you hit 30 you can prototype your current gear(in a nutshell, turns it into level 50 gear, just not called that).

[brittle sandal]

yeah so it's still a huge difference but good to know, it's a good objective to have in mind

[pure estuary]

I recommend ripping all stats and talents first to fill your library, then just mark things as junk that you dont need. when you clear out inventory just donate junk to expertise first, then deconstruct. when you fill up on any material, just donate some to expertise. You will level expertise at a decent pace that way just leveling and killing things. Also theres always an event going on, recommend focusing on that for whatever rewards it gives. usually helps to boost you

[left ravine]

Total Weapon Damage

One of the many sources of damage in the game

[astral bolt]

AOUBA

[fathom agate]

Trying to piece together a spreadsheet of blueprints I'm missing. Just for my own sanity so I don't go and make mistakes before I even start...

Completion Rewards = Non-exotic BP pool
Kill squad rewards = Faction-specific exotic BP pool
BTSU9 = Same faction pool as Kill Squad, better odds (If you're in an outcast retal, will still drop outcast kill squad rewards)
Reconstructed caches = Any non exotic blueprint

[hot portal]

Quick question: Which augments do you consider best for prototype weapons? Just for damage boost?

[fathom agate]

Everyone and their grandma (and I do mean EVERYONE) has been going for Echo.

[hot portal]

I have seen echo and amalgam a lot

[keen horizon]

So I like Amalgam, but I recently got a gun with Paradox and I see potential in it for sustained DPS

[copper crown]

Echo and Amalgam but paradox and quantum also has a lot of viability

paradox on an LMG is a monster of a augment and having quantum on a build is just plain OP. I cannot count how many times it saved my ass and allowed me to dive back into cover

[keen horizon]

Quantum feels like edging the line of just outright cheating haha

[copper crown]

I mean it is pretty bastard I give it that. Being immune to damage for a short time really makes the difference

[fathom agate]

Can anyone confirm for me?

[copper crown]

I have 3 of them on my TS build and I cannot count the number of times that augment kicked in for me and saved my ass.

[wispy merlin]

awd

[keen horizon]

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

Basically will cover everything you're looking for

[fathom agate]

Yeah I had found that as well. Ty. It doesn't say you get anything from completion rewards other than the exotic BPs listed, for some reason I could have swore you could get other BPs for completion as well.

At the end of the day I'm just trying to make a plan;

• Do exotic BPs first since they are faction tied.
• Then farm faction x over and over again for recon caches.

So I guess if my thought on the completion reward was wrong, above would be the only logical way to do it.

And it really wouldn't matter what faction you chose to farm because at the end of the day they'd all end up giving mats for recon caches.

[wispy merlin]

the control points themselves give blueprints if you mean that, the "completion rewards" are unique to the whole retaliation's completion

[fathom agate]

nah minus any CPs, already got all those ones.

[wispy merlin]

also not sure if you were thinking of it but the completion blueprints are also faction specific, not just the kill squad ones

just reading from your first message

reconstructed caches give named item blueprints, which if you exclude everything above should be the last "big" group of blueprints you're missing, definitely worth prioritizing

[inner tendon]

Reading from the message, has anyone told them that Team-9 have their own pool?

[fathom agate]

Feel free to correct me, I didn't read it when it updated most recently.

[wispy merlin]

team 9 doesn't have their own blueprints, but idk if they drop blueprints of the faction you're in the retal for

all that team 9 does afaik is drop comms

[fathom agate]

That's what I believed to be true as well.

[inner tendon]

I'm like, 60% sure team 9 drop more than comms.

but regardless: You can open the Crafting Table and see what exotic crafting blueprint drops

[fathom agate]

They do have more than comms but they drop the same blueprints as any other kill squad you would have faced in that retal... with higher drop %s of course.

[inner tendon]

I have no way of checking as I'm at 70-whatever out of 70-whatever.

[wispy merlin]

i have all blueprints so i can't really test it either

but in any case i have no reason to doubt

[inner tendon]

But yeah, just open your crafting table, scroll down, and see the drop location for what you're missing.
(and play on Challenging or Heroic, not lower).

[fathom agate]

In all honesty, I'm just looking for the best way to finish my blueprints as well.

Did you guys just randomly complete whatever or did anyone have a method to the madness?

I have enough to where I don't want to specifically look for one over and over again.

[wispy merlin]

i just see which method gets me the most blueprints if i just grind it over and over and then do it, ad nauseam

i don't really bother spreadsheeting it

[inner tendon]

I just ran them until I got bored, took a break, then did it again another day.
I don't like making a video-game I'm enjoying something I hate.

Ended up capping it out after like, 30 or so Descent comms.

[fathom agate]

Copy. I'll just keep grinding random factions until I get to so few that I have to specifically pick the right faction for then

[inner tendon]

That's a good way to do it.
It also lets you vary up who you get the retal faction mats from, making that Reconstructed Cache grind more fun.

Best choice I made, to go for those as a long-term goal. Way less reliant on DZ/named item caches going forward.

[novel root]

How do you get a Hostage Operaction Activity to appear?

[copper crown]

you mean the green handcuffs activity? Usually, take all CPs in a district and do one or 2 activities there, they will spawn eventually.

[novel root]

Thanks! ❤️

[modern elm]

Anyone wanna do dark hours raid 6/8 ps5

[wraith flare]

#lfg-raid-console

[late trellis]

looking to get a copy of the Closer named chest piece. chart has its source as LZ but i got no clue what that is

[left ravine]

#lfg-pc

[oblique escarp]

If you die right after Boss dies ... At last stage in Jefferson trade centre .. respawn will be different area .. than timer ... Lost proto there

[bright trail]

LZ : Light zone. Any PVE area. it is a named piece, you can target loot or open named chests

[mellow trout]

They drop blueprints and diamond transceivers

The blueprints are all the normal BT kill squad ones

[vale tiger]

which ar feels best for you guys? i've been farming dtoc ARs to test them (how they feel, long/short range) before proto, so far i'm loving famas for short range and p416 in general. mostly for solo play with killer, i do have a lexington proto with measured for group play.

[copper crown]

I would say police M4 with killer. P416 is pretty bastard way back in the day but it was nerfed pretty badly, Famas is good but the base dmg leaves it kind of lacking, at least in my opinion. Carbine 7 is a good one as well with killer

[vale tiger]

cool yeah i could agree with police m4 but i haven't used that as much, it honestly feels too light like famas. also carbine 7 yeah i use it with heartbreaker/flatline for heroic sweeps instead, pretty smooth gun

[copper crown]

Tbh, if you want to run heartbreaker, kingbreaker AR is a bastard weapon to use. Perfect flatline is just plain OP.

[vale tiger]

it unfortunately has a lower rof. i want enough shields for heartbreaker so i went with carbine. kingbreaker (and tkb) is the coolest looking AR for me besides exotics but its just too slow xd

[copper crown]

i mean it gets some getting used to tbh. That's why I run the ACS-12 shotty to build stacks up quickly then switch to the kingbreaker to dish out dmg.

[warm salmon]

Kingbreaker handling just isn't worth dealing with for the p flatline

[queen glen]

does Steamline still proc if the drone is deployed but not destroyed?

[warm salmon]

No

[queen glen]

oh that's odd

[warm salmon]

Streamline turns off if you even acknowledge the existence of skills

[kindred pecan]

Few thoughts concerning escalation - I really think that players that spent their time grinding lvl 30 experience should be rewarded, so when prototyping (spending resources) they should get full maxed rolls or at least have an opportunity to get it rolled to max stats using additional resources. That will be rewarding. What do you think?

[queen glen]

oh.

[vale tiger]

yeah that too, the handling is ridiculous even with mods xd

[warm salmon]

Upgrading to prototype already guarantees one max stat

[kindred pecan]

I guess you didn’t read my message

[warm salmon]

the one guaranteed max is the reward for upgrading

[vale tiger]

there needs to be rng or else everyone will just have the same exact gun

[warm salmon]

otherwise 30 expertise guys can just get full proto builds right out of the gate

[kindred pecan]

After some time playing this game as a veteran player you really don’t see the point of prototyping gear, wasting all that resources when after 1 run of tier 10 you literally can pick a gear piece that better than yours, that you spent all resources on

My point is to give players with lvl 30 experience a chance to minmax gear for additional resources

[warm salmon]

i mean that doesn't sound like much of a problem, you either upgrade to get a proto now or grind and get a perfect proto later

[ivory vale]

whatever keeps the hamster wheel spinning

[dire comet]

Right

[kindred pecan]

Idk guys, with all respect all this prototyping story is faaaaar from perfect. It will be cool if you figure something that will feel rewarding for all the time people spending enjoying this game.
For example I got 5 chainkiller chests and maxed stat is weapon handling on all of them😂

Maybe for example person prototypes the same gear piece 3 times and got weapon damage on first, chc on second and chd on third, and there is a possibility to squeeze all that prototyped gear in 1 piece. In that case it’ll take some time, and will be hugely rewarded, players will see light in the end))

[glossy drum]

brother it's designed to be a slow burn, not "please give me everything I want in two runs, thank you".

[kindred pecan]

Much love, keep doing great thing, not bothering anymore)

[warm salmon]

i do think there should be proto recalibration and such and the entire system not being that good is a very common opinion, but you shouldn't be able to just crap out 3 prototypes right after reaching expertise 30 and mash them together

[dire comet]

Should've just giving us a level 50🤷🏾‍♂️😂

[glossy drum]

There are certainly improvements to be had, but prototype isn't supposed to be a shower of loot, it's a thing to work towards.

Also the level cap being boosted would have just made everything trivial. It would in fact have made the situation much, much worse.

[warm salmon]

you can still use your old pre-proto gear in escalation but a level cap boost would make everything you have worthless

[glossy drum]

all existing level 40 gear would become instantly irrelevant, only level 50 gear would matter; game sees massive power creep, forcing massive amounts of rebalancing, making it even worse for newer players. Proto gear gives something for people to chase and the current loot pool daily rotation also creates a sense of excitement. Existing gear can also be rolled if desired. Makes good use of previous hard work to collect gear.

I actually think it's in a great place at present, and having caches available as an alternate source is also good. More could be done, but as it is, it's offering people a pretty sizable improvement in return for a bit of effort.

[queen glen]

i'm gonna assume i can only get Cleaners data from NYC?

that means i can't get to upgrade my Overdogs. ouch

[warm salmon]

They're in summit too

[queen glen]

oh nvm then

[inner tendon]

Also Brooklyn!

(which is technically different from NYC, as the maps aren't connected)

[queen glen]

did ikia remove the s8 thing in his docs? i swear it was there before. i can't find it anymore

[inner tendon]

iKia has retired from div work, the doc will slowly go out of date over time, but right now it's still fine.

[queen glen]

no i know it's just - in his docs there was this one page that had s8 stuff

it was strikers and had different striker builds in it but i can't find it anymore

[inner tendon]

If you check the strikers page in the builds section, it's updated for this Season. (despite having the wrong season name next to it)

[warm salmon]

he never made anything for this season

[queen glen]

oh huh. who made the one i saw? ik i'm not going schizo

[inner tendon]

If it's in the spreadsheet, it's someone in here.

[queen glen]

it was right next to these

[inner tendon]

iKia retired from div basically just after this Season started, so any guide that may have existed, would be rudimentary at best, and likely deleted, if it existed.

[warm salmon]

could be in the folder, he does have striker builds from last season

[queen glen]

iirc it had Striker Obliterate, Striker Memento below it, then some other niche Striker builds

[warm salmon]

sounds like the one in the sheet

[queen glen]

found it

[left ravine]

That sounds like the Striker's guide from the sheet indeed

[inner tendon]

Which is updated, but perhaps not 100% yet.

Has an Esca section and all.

[queen glen]

this one has a different CHD/CHC positioning tho

i used this first but went back and used iKia's which gave me even higher values

crisis averted. thanks

[left ravine]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/16HdKj8x-LlXJCcVPAWNZWIb0SXcQOmAfAh1cHYYsxwI/edit?tab=t.0

You wanna save this tho

The ss you shared is from that guide

Make sure to "star" the guide so you'll find it again easily

[queen glen]

got it. thanks

[queen glen]

may i ask: should i follow this one's CHD/CHC layout or should i go with iKia's? or should i stick with the one that gives the bigger numbers?

[left ravine]

I'm not sure exactly what you mean the only thing that counts is the overall crit distribution

One has a piece with CHC and puts a CHD mod in it, for others it's vice versa

[queen glen]

the one from the guide gives lower values than iKia's

tho thinking about it idk why i'm even asking about it in first place

[left ravine]

They should pretty much be identical ultimately

[queen glen]

yeah

[inner tendon]

By "lower", are you asking about Coyotes vs no coyotes?

[queen glen]

here's what i got so far

[queen glen]

i have Overdogs. i haven't gotten around to swapping things around for Coyote

[left ravine]

Are you wanting to set up the Equalizer/Overdogs variant or which one?

[inner tendon]

I wouldn't TBH, overdogs has kinda overtaken it in the meta.

[queen glen]

yeah. i can feel it haha

[left ravine]

Oh

[inner tendon]

Actually question: do you have the SHD Watch bonuses for crit both maxed out? 10% CHC, and 20% CHD.

[left ravine]

Well then you can't compare the builds really because Coyote's isn't featured in the guide

[queen glen]

i already have it

[queen glen]

so far not yet. i'm still getting around to that

so rn i'll just chase for the higher numbers for now

and it's working well so far

[hollow reef]

Dont mess with mr boooooze

[hollow reef]

why the hell your mask has blue core

[fallen island]

can you somehow climb up to that balcony in the red dragon CP?

[hollow reef]

dont think so

[left ravine]

NPCs spawn up there sometimes but you can't get in there yourself

@wraith flare Hi there

[wraith flare]

[sturdy monolith]

15.05

[wispy merlin]

you guys can probably type it up, i'm too lazy

[obsidian ibex]

do demolisher fireflies do explosive damage?

[wispy merlin]

literally just posted at the same time xD

[strange harbor]

Is it at the same time or are you late?

[wispy merlin]

look at timestamp broski

[gentle sparrow]

hello everyone, is there a guide to fast farm Automated Defense Parts?

[wispy merlin]

black tusk retaliations

[gentle sparrow]

oh everything from black tusk retaliations @__@

okay thank you for the info

[compact furnace]

Did anyone just suddenly have this happened to them right exactly now?

[slim elk]

wtf what for?

[clever fjord]

Compensation

[nimble spruce]

For Tuesdays server issues presumably. Curious if I'll get any as I wasn't able to log in until after the second downtime

[compact furnace]

For?

[nimble spruce]

Lots of people lost a load of coins failing escalations due to delta errors on Tues, since striker was targeted

[young stag]

same

[oblique escarp]

Today escalation loot allocation??

[nimble spruce]

Check the pins

[fallen island]

can Hollow man drop in summit if I target masks?

[robust fog]

Is there some type of cooldown for headhunter? i noticed once its proced, and once i lose, it takes a long time to come back

[nimble spruce]

Nope, it's an old DZ-exclusive (but does also drop from named caches and Houndsman bounty mini warhounds)

[nimble spruce]

No - Headhunter procs on headshot kill, so it'll reproc as soon as you get another headshot kill. Can take a few kills to stack up to max value, though

[robust fog]

yea thats what i thought. i can keep it until i dont get a kill (or it runs out). but then once the perc is gone, i get 2 headshot kills, but the perk never shows up again

[nimble spruce]

Sometimes the icon doesn't appear but the talent still works

[robust fog]

oh its a visual bug? the buff doesnt show?

[nimble spruce]

Yup. Should be pretty obvious if the buff itself is working or not by looking at the damage numbers you get

[robust fog]

was testing at the firing range, and the damage numbers disappear really fast sometimes. Thanks

[queen glen]

does summit have savepoints?

i wanna finish it per difficulty

rn i'm down to Normal just to get a feel for things

[nimble spruce]

It's got a checkpoint at the end of every floor ending in 3,6,9,0

[queen glen]

ah. multiples of 3

i reckon we can change diff midway too?

should i go return to washington DC or the lobby? idk how to save it exactly

[nimble spruce]

Yeah just change difficulty by going back to the lobby, then it'll take you back to your most recent checkpoint

[queen glen]

ah. got it. thanks

[nimble spruce]

You'll also get a difficulty change option at the end of every boss floor (ending in 0) so can save a trip to the lobby there

[queen glen]

first impressions so far: basically endless enemies with no strings attached

[queen glen]

ah, can only change difficulty after every 10 floors, y'mean?

[nimble spruce]

Nope, it's just slightly faster as you don't have to go to the lobby to get the options

[queen glen]

ohhh. alright

[nimble spruce]

Main thing about summit is the rate of loot drops is a lot lower than the alternatives for target loot farming (countdown and retaliations). It is easier though.

[queen glen]

anything else i should remember when doing Summit? or is it pretty much just endless enemies + a bit of special events here and there?

[nimble spruce]

Note the challenges in your map menu and activate them for extra loot, keep an eye out for the cache keys (there's a big cache near the exit of every floor ending in 3,6,9 and the key is somewhere on the preceding 3 floors)

[queen glen]

oh i got the keys but not the caches. thanks for the heads up. is that all? go up to 100 and that's it?

[nimble spruce]

Yup, pretty much.

There's various commendations to chase too if you want

[queen glen]

ah. alright. thanks

[magic orbit]

Is there an easy way to access specialisation quest objectives other than the quartermaster and pinning them from there?

[quaint igloo]

When will measures be taken against lagswitches on PlayStation? The situation is critical: every second battle in the conflict encounters a lagswitcher, and in PvE countdown, we regularly encounter lag switches who fire shock traps and crash the server. @heavy pebble @sand pecan @silk knoll @soft zodiac

[austere wren]

only way to get regulus through raid?

[hollow reef]

The crafting project yes.

[inner tendon]

Yep, it's not in the Retaliation Blueprints, as it's a Crafting Project.

[hollow reef]

Or from seasonal cache if you're lucky.

Wait no, its not seasonal cache.

I forgot the lootbox name.

[austere wren]

hmm?

legacy or exotics?

[inner tendon]

Jayko is trying to remember the Stretch Goals.

Regulus/Ouro/Rav/EB/Bighorn will never be in legacy or exotic caches, the Stretch Goals are special though.

[hollow reef]

Yeah the strech goals event cache.

Everything is available from there.

[inner tendon]

Well, Vindicator.

maybe this Season, who knows.

[junior sequoia]

Since he asked about this, just confirm something to me, eagle bearer and ravenous BPs from BT retaliations are only for this season? Then after that, who wants it, needs the raids?

[inner tendon]

That is what I've heard, but you know what they say about rumours.

Until I see an official post in say, #division-tweets, I'd keep checking.

[nimble spruce]

They're listed in the progress menu iirc

[fallen island]

can anyone explain why is a Random Brand Vest blueprint a thing? Is it only to get a chance for yahl mats?

[nimble spruce]

That's the main practical use for it these days since target loot was added. Not all brands have crafting blueprints for every piece and the random brand one doesn't consume brand-specific materials, so it was occasionally useful in the past when farming was harder.

[fallen island]

ah right

[rugged stratus]

Dont tag ubi staff, its not allowed in this discord. Consider this a warning.

[winter mason]

Speaking of Ravenous, i carfted that exotic rifle, but i need the main BP to reroll the attributes. how can i aquire it?

[junior sequoia]

I could be wrong but you usually get the reconfigure BP when you obtain the exotic, if you don't have it, then I think the game only gives the reconfigure BP if you obtain the gun on the raid and not craft it.

[winter mason]

You are telling me that im stuck with these attributes? :/

[warm salmon]

Try restarting the game? I hear that puts the reconfig BP in inaya's shop

[junior sequoia]

Honestly this gun damage is not that important for the builds, the reason we use it usually is because of the blue stack bonus on armor plates.

[winter mason]

thank you guys for your replies its here 🙂

First reroll 🔥

[junior sequoia]

I would go for CHC but ok. DTTOOC doesn't apply to it's dmg talent

[teal orbit]

The return is likely about the same but I feel gearsets with fabric plus blue materials, gives you a little more.

[thorny steppe]

Anyone can help with shd farming

[minor ferry]

When is next major update?

[hollow reef]

err... new season is in 1 and half month i think

or maybe less

[nimble spruce]

Some kind of new event happening in a couple of weeks though

[winter mason]

This exotic rifle needs a talent rework tbh

[tawny wagon]

What is wrong, I'm not getting blueprints from CP's, not from retaliations or kill squads, where do I get the the rest from?

[green wyvern]

probably alot from reconstructed caches

but theres a few you cant get anymore im pretty sure

[tawny wagon]

Figured that reconstructed caches are the way to go. So watch farm it is.

[warm salmon]

in a theoretical build that doesn't rely on headshots it'll probably be good

[sacred echo]

@undone copper i got it just last week

[pseudo tundra]

honestly they should rework to give a +1 to achilles pulse and have the talent be around that skill

[warm salmon]

actually yeah, guns having synergy with skills in mind would be cool

[hollow reef]

The only weapon that does it is Elmo isnt it? With Shocker Punch holster.

Oh wait nvm thats just exotic holster.

But yeah, I suppose theres no other exotic weapon that works in-sync with an exotic gear other than Elmo and Shocker Punch.

[pseudo tundra]

well capacitor is bland generic and mantis exists

[novel root]

Which Escalation tier is the most efficient for farming Escalation Tokens?

[inner tendon]

The one you can do quickly.

And a lot of it is also down to the specific mission. You want a quick mission, lots of enemies, and your team to be very good at it.

Tier 5 is generally accepted to be the "top end" of the lower tiers, without too many annoying Modifiers.

[hollow reef]

Why are there like only 5 escalation missions everyday?

[hollow reef]

Perfect spot yeah.

[novel root]

I wish that Escalation just had targeted loot.

[pseudo tundra]

missions rotate weekly, and the loot daily

[hollow reef]

Hmmm i have mixed feelings for that.

[inner tendon]

@novel root It does, you probably mean selectable Targeted Loot.

[novel root]

Yeah

[hollow reef]

Most likely because it'll skip a lot of grind towards regular high-end and gearset builds.

[novel root]

I can kinda see that, but for me personally, if I don't care about a certain thing I'm not gonna run it anyways. If there's nothing I care about I just log off for the day and check again the next day.

[pure elk]

me and a friend are getting d2. we have new york. do we need brooklyn?

[astral bolt]

noice

need

[novel root]

Personally I'd say no, only really get it if you enjoy the story.

[inner tendon]

There's no reason to rush to do the Brooklyn story, if you want to wait for a good sale.

[hollow reef]

Hold up, you're getting Division 2 but you already have WONY? Last time I checked Battle for Brooklyn is already included in gold edition.

[pure elk]

i got them separate on accident. is bfb necessary ?

[inner tendon]

It's not mandatory unless you want to experience the full story, start to finish.

What BfB gives you is a skill with 2 variations, and a new map to play with.
A few other new items, but nothing "required".

[pure elk]

i dont really care for story, i just wanna do missions and raids and after story content with my buddy

[inner tendon]

Oh then yeah base game is fine.

You don't need any DLC's to hit the max level anymore.

[pure elk]

wait u can be lvl 40 without new york wtf

[inner tendon]

Correct, over a year ago now.

"one division" update, or whatever it was called.

[pure elk]

damn ive been away for a while

[inner tendon]

tl;dr You can go from 1-40 in DC, and then visit the White House skills vendor to get your special "post lvl 40" SHD Watch.

[pure elk]

thanks alot. last time i played i remembered the summit was my favorite and the rogue like gamemode with hunters. trying to collect exotics. then i remmebered they updated it to ubisoft 5 or something and now i wanna get back into it but i cant keep track of all of the updates and where to start fresh again

[hollow reef]

Aw, no more gearslop.

[undone copper]

Wait do you always get a blueprint for completing escalation missions?

[left ravine]

Yes. Which doesn't make sense since the devs advertise that game mode as total endgame 😂

Instead it's a new player incentive

[desert thunder]

So who messed up at Activision?

[hollow reef]

No sir thats the compensation for last Tuesday massive server issue.

[left ravine]

#server-status message

Pinged the wrong person

[hollow reef]

🕺

[vale tiger]

we'll all have free access to the classified assignment? is that a new thing?

[hollow reef]

No. They're paid contents.

[vale tiger]

what's free access mean then xd

[mellow trout]

Where are you getting this from?

[hazy violet]

Hello everyone, the server is not working?

[vale tiger]

their tweet

[mellow trout]

Which?

[mellow trout]

Ah

Yes looks like a new thing, temporary free access to the mexican embassy

[hazy violet]

And the game is closed, is the preparation for the Brooklyn events going on? Anniversary, right?

[livid bear]

does armor on kill insert mod have any value at all? since its not a %

[mellow trout]

No

[tiny flint]

Has yaahl gear been removed from regular vendor rotations?

Only dz vendors will sell it?

[mellow trout]

It's popped up in the clan vendor in spite of being "fixed" so

[tiny flint]

How recent? Do u know

[mellow trout]

Don't remember the last one

[spare girder]

How many backpack trophys are there in the Embassy Crashsite?

[mellow trout]

Each assignment only has one

[stable snow]

Is there a way to get my exotics from one character to another?

[left ravine]

The stash is shared across characters

[stable snow]

there are some exotics I have on one character that don't appear on my current one

[left ravine]

Did you move them into the stash so your other characters have access?

[stable snow]

lol I guess not, i'll check in a bit, thanks

[nimble spruce]

it's never been part of most vendor rotations, clan vendor occasionally sells it though

[bleak oracle]

What escalation caches are up today

[fiery atlas]

Other than CD/retal and Houndsman is there any other effective ways of getting named items? Just left with named items, yaahl and some exotics for expertise 30

[hollow reef]

Houndsman is the best one to farm named items.

If you're at level 25 expertise I'd say start farming for gearmods and deconstruct them for printer filament. Then donate said material.

[lapis dragon]

I need to ask about this

So...those Commendations that come out during special Events

How is it that when you do them you get your score but then when the event is over you loose the score again...why even have the score there to begin with?

I went back to 8015 score from 8045 twice now

[hollow reef]

Uh... im not sure.

[fiery atlas]

Yeah, I’ve been killing the Warhounds, fast traveling to the capital archives assignment then restarting the bounty and repeating, I think I’m at 24 atm but have been using my watch levels to grab the printer filament anyway 👌🏼

[fair vigil]

yeah i think it discounted the 30 points from the Cursed Lanterns commendation

[hollow reef]

Hold on to your watch level points.

[lapis dragon]

Yeah it did the same thing on the Christmas one too

[hollow reef]

I feel like they're too precious.

[lapis dragon]

I Imagine they can't add commendations without score since the game doesn't allow it or something

So I guess the score is like a place holder

[fair vigil]

there goes ma dream of farming the last 500 points i need for the Byzantine mask...

[tiny flint]

I see

[lapis dragon]

I got barely over 8000 myself haha

At least they fixed that one commendation in Combat now

I just redeemed it

Now I'm up to 8045 again I guess xD

The one that stills bothers me is that they added the Paradies lost commendations after I did the thing 50 times

And now the game tells me to play it 10 times for one of the commendation bruh xD

[hasty pewter]

quick question
can i buy the Bug Mask Pack again to get to credits ?

[fiery atlas]

I believe the pack with the mask is a OTP per season

[lapis dragon]

Like look at this one...I have the Wright mask but the game never registers the commendation after they added those into the game later xD

[hasty pewter]

i know but i still somehow have it as a option

[idle jetty]

I did

Not sure why it let me, but I definitely bought it twice lol

[fiery atlas]

That’s strange, I bought it towards the beginning of the season and it’s still gone from my screen, I mean if it’s there it’s there tbh 👌🏼

[hasty pewter]

might be coz i boughi it as DLC through steam

[fiery atlas]

Ahh that could be why, as I’m on Xbox so it uses the same marketplace on both whereas the ingame market place is different from the steam marketplace on PC iirc

[hasty pewter]

thanks for the info agents

[mellow trout]

They're two separate achievements

Wright mask is no downs, commendations is no downs AND no medkits

[lapis dragon]

Interesting

Seems like I missed that part

[vale tiger]

where can i farm weakpoint kills fast and easy?

[tacit plover]

will hot foot and bullet fire go way by the end of this season?

[left ravine]

It appears those modifiers remain. There is no info on rotating Escalation modifiers that I know of

[plucky jewel]

so if backpack is filled and u get an exotic cache u lose it?

cuz for example, warframe they mail the items u lost due to instancing or something to u. i guess div 2 is different

[wispy merlin]

where did you claim the cache?

[plucky jewel]

retal. 2 exotic caches

[wispy merlin]

or was it given by a project?

yeah it drops on the ground, so if you get a retal started right after you lose it

only way to prevent this is to empty your caches before starting next retal

[plucky jewel]

jesus christ. alright thanks

[idle jetty]

It drops on the ground - you can go back and pick it up

[plucky jewel]

Oh k

[craggy solar]

dont change difficulty or reset the map or anything tho cause if you refresh the map it will disapeer

[indigo remnant]

what can i do with SHD Calibration and Field Recon data ?

[nimble spruce]

They're used mainly in optimisation and expertise upgrades

Note that you don't need to spend your scavenging points as you earn them, better to just let them pile up until you actually need something

[indigo remnant]

alright thanks brother

[clever ocean]

howdy, quick question about expertise progression

once I have all my normal weapon types and brands + sets maxed [tldr the easy stuff]

and i'm just missing exotics + named, what is the recommended way to max those out? is it just farming filament or is there a more effective way to do named

[ivory vale]

if a vendor happens to be selling the named, that's arguably easier

[idle jetty]

Houndsman bounties, stretch goals, and special events dropping exclusive named weapons & gear.

I would keep a copy of each and run challenging countdown (with targeted mods for printer filament) to grind out levels

Same for exotics

Are there any green set worth stacking in full ?

Most of them are only good if you have the 4 piece set bonus.

Not all of them are good.

These tend to be some of the fan favorites:
Strikers
Future Initiative
Tipping Scales
Refactor
Measured Assembly
Negotiators Dilemma
Ongoing Directive
Hunter’s Fury
Heartbreaker

Hi, I'm new here! I'm looking for the Quick Step and I'd like to get it. Does anyone know how?

[idle jetty]

You can post in #lfg-pc for the “Houndsman Bounty” or just ask for help getting the quickstep! Usually NA central times in the evenings there are some groups that run it.

Lot of other good gear drops from the bounty too
