i bought the ultimate edition when its on discount 👌
i just love division series
cuz its really remind me of GRP
i like it because of the shooter rpg
Ghost Recon: Pants?
but now i feel like its a love hate relationship between me and d2
shoot was so sad the game was discontinued
the memento and lady death grind
happened to be the same damned mission
for the loot allocation
😂 repeat the same thing over n over
which was the jefferson trade center
fuck me i already did that mission 40 times for the merciless back when targeted loot wasnt even a thing
then i did another 20 times and did not get memento until some dude was nice enough to drop me one
and i kept getting random bullshit in the mission
like when there was smg allocation i got backfire and chatterbox
then i got coyote mask
then i got bullet king and pestilience
like what the fuck is this loot system ffs
i probably have better chance to get Lady death since I dont have chatterbox in my loot pool yet
perstilence i got super early too, but not bullet king
chatterbox should have remained a blueprint exotic
and not an easy drop
backfire is a literal double edged sword
but sweet if build correctly 👌
nemesis was annoying to grind for many people
back in the day when you had to get parts from the last boss in each invaded strongholds
got one when I'm still diligently doing invaded lul
except manning zoo invaded oh god the horror
so many wipe
i wipe multiple times
same dude
Is it different then non invaded?
but hey, got my memento, got my lady death, got ridgeway, life is nice
V E R Y
Hm i wonder
bruh the one shot emp turrets like wtf
I hope next week will have it
i hate the mortar
i hate everything black tusk has to throw at us lol
from explosive drones to their dog robots
once u down in mortar area, dont expect a revive unless someone got revive hive
u be damn wiped
well the stagger wouldnt be a problem
Emp turrets you mean that like pulse and destroys everyone if u r not behind something?
if someone uses the sawyer kneepad
well i remember the last time i played that
there was no cover at all
Tf
i didnt have sawyer yet that time, i probably could done it better now since i have one in my sniper build
and u had to run pass them to find the generator and destroy it
the half of the mission just hates u for camping
running pass them is kind of tricky since ur gotta time ur movement
u forced to move around or just bombarded
For me hard thing was RI manhunt (emp turrets) luckly I got backup from clan
legit running healer is not enough to keep my teammates alive, cuz repair hive just not too effective
bruh the mission is a big fuck you to the division but at least it has some sick music at the end
probably their healer build suck
im the healer
because most healer builds nowadays heal u instantly
FeelsBadMan
ye, thats why i said not too effective compare to just able to sit nicely
also they jsut mostly scatter around cuz avoiding get mortared in a group
well u could either get the high ground or find a bomb shelter
i'm mostly at bomb shelter n snipe with chems
it took freakin forever to finish one after many wipe
when using healer build teaches u how to become a top class sniper
by sniping chem launchers across the hole country
playing with random helps u a lot to do that lmao
at least 1 that love to rush at front, so expect some chem sniping
same dude most of the time they just stay at the back of the map
then somehow got armor broke
and i had to yeet some chemical fluid to them
but not complaining anyway, i love aggressive/active support
it kept me focus n entertained thru the run
das why i love healer role
i just like playing as a healer in every rpg game
mostly orientated around keeping teammates alive and granting them buffs
but once i'm in a proper team where they sit nicely in my hive range
Brain : blank.... bored af while spamming my opportunist
bruh i felt like nobody gives a shit about my hive
they just do a marathon around the map and kill everything
das why u snipe em
then they start chicken dancing to dodge ur chems
and throw hives in front of them before they arrive at advantage cover location so they kinda stays little bit lul
instead of expecting them u dropping it late and wanting them sit back
i just prefer to put hive somewhere
easy to pick up instead of having to destroy 36 charges of hive
i like to play soccer with it, just pick n yeet, pick n yeet, pick n yeet
thats not how soccer works
just kick my hives around lul
unless u can somehow kick the hive
no u pick that shit up and throw it
not kick it like football
lul
and if u do kick it u would be ruining the hive stems
i basically just juggle it around like a clown
u know what would have been better?
at least try have 2 inside the hive n 1 i can pay attention with my chem
if the hive could automatically deploy while not dropped on the ground but it hangs on ur backpack
das broken lul
imagine in pvp when ur hive can do that shit
i mean in pvp everyone is literally using stinger hives even now
they just run around u and drop stinger hives
its gonna be too broken
i mean if it were to make all hive variants auto-deploy then that would be way too broken
u basically a healing station
mobile healing station
ye, have like 3 dps shield and 1 healer
3 tank 1 healer, safeguard it
watch unbreakable bulwark lul
hm sure
u just escorting your healer to final mission
the romantic tension between a tank and a healer
no need opportunist, just safeguard it for infinite health lol
for now i run opportunist, so i can be more aggressive
i just go full heal
ye, i need to find a decent alps safeguard too
so i kinda can swap for speedy healer or extra dmg healer
cuz in average circumstance, most teammates got dps build that can easily 1-2 tick max heal with stem/chems
i burned my emergency ceramic supplies for alps backpack with safe guard
even bulwark shield could at least 3-4 tick it, since they tanky, i dont have the need to heal them super fast since they can tank it fine after 1 tick of heal
so i ditch safeguard
bruh i just loved dropping heals on bulwark users and they went from 10% shield hp to full shield hp
safeguard is overkill heal for me lul
i use safeguard to compensate for the lack of skill repair in my build
and kinda force me to lay back healer too
I do use it when I dont have FI chest n BTSU yet
but since I have both, now I go opportunist since I can go full skill repair mods
also u gotta improvise and use a chestpiece with empathetic resolve
I got FI chest instead
I mostly find ppl 3 crus shield and 1 drone turret guy or more turret drone and 1 dps, only 1 time i saw real tank and for healers only once i think on legendary
ye, i wouldnt want run healer outside legendary anyway, those people can shred the mission easily on heroic
^
Hm that's probably why
yea healers in heroic missions arent that common
since most people are running tanky builds with high armor regen
generally in heroic, if your dying, its your fault
lol
cuz their AoK n dps build is easily kept them alive
its the npc’s fault
lol
that made me die
I can just blindly run my HF build no problem without touching medkits
I use dps with nothing to help other then crus/hive and Unbreakable
for me in group heroics, depends on my mood, sometimes ill tank cause i enjoy it, others ill snipe, and others i play a different build
yea u should pair shield builds with vanguard
i never a tank user yet, i'm bout healer n Blind Run&Gun
total 180 degree personality
pfft, i play intimidate + AR in heroics
coz that 45% armor bonus can be really huge depending on how chonky ur armor is
doesn't affect the player
I have 670k armor and 270k health kekw
haha 1mil 1200rpm vector goes brrrr
eh, i find 5s immunity is overkill on healing (esp for heroics)
i still find that 5s of shield immunity gave me time for hive to shoot heals for my shield
heroic just count as "just speedrun the mission dude"
thats how heroic works rn
back in 500 gear score heroic felt like legendary content for division 1
but now it feels like a walk in the park most of the time
u mean cycling Lightweight M4 with tactical link n brrr thru the mission?
maybe
Yeah why is there no time trial for heroic only 1 for challenging
i was harder pre-wony, but the morons came a running and got it all nerfed
i felt like healing skills got a nerf or something
cuz at least the new peeps can do it and not limited their rewards
when i was tanky as shit with TP 400k armor build the seeker healed like crazy
but now it barely heals at 600k armor
it aint rare people dont wanna play with low SHD on heroic anyway, so that probably gonna be problem for them to get league rewards
seeker healer does get nerfed
I have 90 SHD and only got kicked once on Legendary... So ppl are not that bad i think
i never got kicked on legendary missions
i remember i just hastily slapped hard wired and some alps to get a healer build
my server kind enough to very rarely kick one
then go on a legendary mission at shd 70
so i leveled up my shd no problem till people doesnt bother kicking anymore
no one gave a shit lol
depends on the person. personally i feel like a person shouldn't be in legendary <100 SHD since gearing takes time unless you have some luck
but i wont straight up kick a person without inspecting first
I have one full gear already so i think that's lucky
i love when i have less than 100 shd lvl and people being so supportive n actually thank me for being a healer 👌 das the best feeling
well i mean for some people slapping 4 gearset pieces and 2 brand sets isnt a problem
this is random people btw
inspect can tell a lot about a person if you see if they been actually giving gear a thought instead of just slapping anything on
compared to last time i played the game pre-wony
im looking at shd 8k people with fully optimized dps build and im jealous lol
True
coz of how gold their gear looks
felt like build diversity was hurt in gear 2.0
when u dont have passive talents for ur weapons
no, theres more now then there was
and some other talent on gear if u played pre-wony
Is there any spreadsheet what did gear 2.0 change?
well if we can keep it short
passive talents were rolled into the secondary talents on gear
it would be the removal of passive talents on weapons
and lots of talent slots on gear
put it this way, you have generally the same number o ftalents you have now then you had Pre-Wony (clutch zerkers were an exception
well it felt shit to use them tbh since theyre just inferior
compared to many talents u could be better off using
like who uses protected reload on their chestpiece wtf
that could have been a good passive on a weapon
i mean that was a passive for weapons generally
i hated the holter talents
but yeah at least it removes the annoyance of having to find an AR with protected reload and allegro
then some decent active talent on it
not to mention whether its god rolled or not
Active talent what
well in 1.0 there was no such thing as a god roll
the talent ur seeing on most of ur weapon
due to budget system
well pretty sure theres a maxed roll value
someone even had a spreadsheet on how high a specific ar can roll for base damage
but ofc that was pre-wony
this time around i did find getting gear together was way easier than before
well ya but havign a high roll ment the other rolls would be garbage
well damage was the main focus here
other talents was also a pain to look at
if theyre not allegro and protected reload on the same tun
gun
and really most builds in Tu7 reolved about basically infinite seekers clearing every room
anything else was basically pointless as the seeker people would clear the room every time
i remember stinger hive chaos with ongoing directive from tu6 or something
in pvp and that was a disaster
not to mention tanky skill builds with tech
then my tanky/dps build cant deal damage for shit so i had to switch to ace and eight for that fat damage
What did allegro do?
er it gave u like 10% fire rate
on ur weapon
which was like a top tier passive talent to have on a AR
or literally any gun because it simply outclasses all of the other talents at that time
Hi there! I am busy with the Shepherd rank. On internet there are some sites that are talking about a gauge meter which shows your progress. Is this meter being removed durint TU6, because I can not find this progress meter.
its hidden under the season level
i never saw a gauge while i was shepherding
its a blue xp bar that would be right under your orange xp
So you can't see it you mean?
but since seasons came out, its been hidden
okay, thank you very much!
What's shephard rank?
its basically a "level" system for those that answered calls for backup to help others
Oh the things that show up on teammates with wings?
ya
Next to nick
its a royal pain to level
since people dont endorse you
Yeah i had it only time
And was like sure whatever and didn't even know what does it do
i did it once to get the level 25 commendation, never agiain
rather grind for god rolls or opti mats instead of that
Well I am busy with it now. And for sure, it will be the last time....
What do u get from it?
just a patch like all other commendations
if people actually endorsed, it woulnd't be too bad
but most people you help, dont even "know" about endorsing
Now a days you get auto endorsed
you get a 2nd if they endorse you
and one 'extra' if the person endorse you
but theres even times you dont fill up the xp bar so you get NOTHING
Most don’t endorse
true
I made a video montage with the song I’m still standing while shepherding . It’s crazy how much they just stand there
How come I can't see the rare gun from Cassie Vendor but I can see/buy the Hunter Killer chest piece? I've already completed the Hunters.
Is Cassie today?
have you opened the chest at the white house?
How can i change the Hive Skill without wating for 7 Stacks to Refill?.... Almost impossible to change it while in a Mission...Takes like 10min to Reset
basically can only wait for it to refresh
Have to wait for the refill, taking off skill tiers and the ammo mod for it helps speed it up though.
or die
Revive hiv on a tier 6 skill build 🤔
Best way to farm Imperial Dynasty Holster?
Ive heard its from a mission, but can also drop on targeted loot holster
Holsters
Cleaners Mission bosses (Kajika or Conley) OR Holster target loot
Ok so back to summit it sounds like
I reached WT5 in my hardcore character, should I go to new york or finish the side missions on washington and get to gear score 500?
I saw a video about maxing out the season pass fast by putting 5 directives and doing resource convoys.. Is that still a thing? or did that get nerfed
So it's still possible to max out in a day?
I just want to unlock waveform holster xD
i mean always has been even without convoys if you no life it
I am willing to no life it today any suggestions or is it 5 directives and CPs
only do 5 directives if you can clear it efficiently otherwise its a hinderance.
Okay so basically CP farm non stop
TLDR: do it on the highest difficulty + as many directives as you can efficiently do.
Okay will give it a go. I will just pick the easy directives xD ALSO I guess I should ask if this works also I think this was a recent video. What about the turning on 5 directives and then farming landmarks in the DZ since you get the XP for the directives but dont have to deal with them
fixed
Ah okay thank you
why is the invaded story makes you do capitol building before rousivalt island?
the invaded story the strongholds can be done in ANY order
maybe i was sleeping while doing the mssions XD
What happened to rxlyat youtube channel? He was great
Can the Apparel event box give duplicate item?
No.
Im Kinda dumb but can someone explain why it says you do not have Any elements to transfer into this item. I dont know bcs I dont really know how to use the recalibration station
Basically, you need to "extract" rolls from an item in order to be able to use said elements on another item.
e.g. you need to extract CHC on an AR in order to be able to re-calibrate the CHC on an AR.
As i Said im Kinda dumb but i think i know how to do that stuff
once something is extracted, you can use it unlimited times, but you can only ever re-calibrate that single slot on that specific item.
Ok but how do i extract XD Kinda like talking to a Neanderthal so ur gonna have to simplify XD
go to the White House > lady to the right of the Crafting Table > recalibration library.
Oh so thats what its for ok got it. Thanks!
what happens if I beat all invaded strongholds again when I'm at world tier 5?
You get some xp, bit of loot, etc.
If you're WT5, then do any commendations that require you to have Gearscore first.
hm why?these become unavaible later?
Correct, once you start WONY you go from Gearscore to Lvl 31-40. At lvl 40 you don't go back to Gearscore.
@inner tendon which are the gear score commendations?
It has been almost 2 years since I did them, sorry.
I only found one that told me to get gear score 500 with a hardcore char
yeah I only found one missable one that is exactly this one, gear score 500 on hardcore char. The others are not missable.
Are there any up to date build planners like the old divisionbuilder website?
try and post your message just once.
Ive seen people in videos with different looking damage numbers where in settings is that
@trim surge check #td2-build-advice pinned message
it feels like its easier to find a team by calling for backup outisde a mission than inside, and match making for mission never seem to success. match making is so frustrating in this game
Do the CP tiers mirror or mean the same thing as the four levels of difficulty?
1 = normal , 2 = hard , 3 = challenging, 4 = heroic
they say the difficulty on the points menu btw
why is it nearly impossible to find a raid group on ps4, i have been trying to run the raid for 3 days now
Are you using the LFG in this server?
yes and 6 communities on psn, also 3 other discord's
Try first day of Reset, might have more luck.
Or find a clan that runs it.
i can find people for any other content but the raids
All of the raid channels are more active around the reset times on tuesday. Try checking around that time.
i did and i haven't found 1 group
How do i get the EMP sticky bomb? The guides online are saying manhunt and the person isn't there...
unlock one from the season reward first
my season reward is 100... already done i though
i forgot if its Roosevelt or Tidal Basin, but its one of it u can get repair trap and emp sticky
press G twice on it to switch the mission to manhunt mission
Tidal Basin is the Repair Trap.
Roosevelt Island is the EMP Sticky Bomb.
Coney Island Amusement Park is the Shrapnel Trap.
ye, just double hold G on Roosevelt, u gonna fight Jupiter for emp-sticky
Hold G to go to Difficulty/Directive menu, Hold G again to change the mission mode
What you want is "Toggle Mission Mode".
lfg-end-game-pc is the place you're looking for.
can you infuse weapons like you can in destiny
Yes, if this was destiny
so no
Is DZ farming for exotics better then summit? Cuz i never did DZ in TD2
the trophy that memento backpack drop when killing an enemy, we need to go to the dead body and collect it ?
You'll need to collect the trophy to get the buffs, yes.
that is in the invaded while in the normal story you have to do hyena and then outcast and then true sons strongholds
u need exact exotics?
if u dare, cuz DZ adds are much softer
but the landmark got varies of difficulty, so the % arent gonna be consistent
Does incoming repairs affect the system corruption heal from the armour kit
It also repairs your armour by 20% Read the gear set
better wording is your friend
Does anyone know how to trigger the very first hunter introduction? I have a friend who is WT3 with me and it's never popped up for him.
I think there's one that's side mission at least i heard it somewhere
Yeah it shows up as a big question mark. Problem is, it's never shown up for him. So he can't even summon any hunters
agent edwards support is the mission that triggers the hunters
Yeah, I'm wondering if anyone knows what triggers that mission, as he never got it.
did he trigger the settlement computer? (it gives you shd tech locations)
it's a low lvl mission so he missed/skipped something
Yup he did all the settlement computers and has all the shd caches, and every side quest done.
i did the snitch's bounty the other day but i can't find cassie mendoza could someone tell me where she is please
You don’t have to do his bounty
Find him and interact and you will see a shopping cart on your map, that’s Cassie
oh ok lol, i interacted with him but i'm not seeing her icon in my map and i've looked over it 3 times
thanks tho
where do you get BP for system corruption? I'm missing backpack and kneepad BP and nothings dropping forme on CP'
crafting station should tell u where the bp dropped exactly
System corruption is DZ
if it said control point, then its on control point, if its from raid, then its on raids
its not even showing up on available BPs
its not craftable then
my friend only has th e chest BP and we both have 323/323 bps
It drops in the DZ
the BP?
if the blueprint arent listed in crafting station, then it cant be crafted
i just said i have bp for everything except kneepads and back back, while my friend only has cest BP and we both have 323/323 (all) BPs
No blueprint then
^ ye
like i said, if the bp doesnt exist, then there's no blueprint of it
if its only grey out, then it still can be aquired, if it aint listed, then u cant
yea but I have the BP and its not even showing up on my friends
not even greyed out on my friends
not there at all
i'll just launch my game to check it then
wonder if my friends game is bugged?
doubt
I'm opening my game to check crafting station real quick
cool, thanks!
@ember bobcat the non exist bp for me is on backpack/knee
ok thanks, odd why the others arent showing up on my friends game
do the ninja knee pads drop only in DZ ? is it confirmed that it is the only place?
some people get it from exotic caches but im guessing they already got a pair before that therefore it was added to the loot table for the caches
no, it can drop in open world now
Is the game worth getting into? I’m sick of destiny lol
I think yes I bought it this week and already at 75h good alternative i would say
how active would you say the community is? how long does it take to hit end game and what is the end game like,
Playerbase is plenty active. Doesn't take long to hit 40.
When you do, it's just grinding for builds you want to try out.
End game is when you get to find out just how much you learnt along the way...or didn’t learn 😉
what do you mean?
what does a memento backpack normally come with?
1 of each core.
To be specific, Exotics have "locked rolls", so they're always the same, the only thing that changes is the % value of each stat.
How hard are raids? can i succeed in one if im new and not very good at the game yet?
Yes and no.
You'd want a solid DPS build most likely for your first time, and to find a good experienced group to run it with that doesnt mind explaining the mechanics.
A bunch of helpful folks in #lfg-raid-pc took me through the first time and covered everything I needed to know before each encounter.
You can also try running the Discovery version, but I dont feel like those are great at preparing you for the Normal runs.
Thanks, also how long does it usually take?
With a newbie team,, my first run took about an Hour.
i just cheked lfg channel what does RV mean?
Raid Voice
Group Voice is GV
thanks guys.
Can you get exotics you dont have from targeted loot?
As long as it's not locked in some way, then absolutely.
Ok thx
You can't ever get a Raid Exotic outside of a raid, however if you unlock an Exotic via a Project then it gets added to Targeted Loot.
Ok thx
Can named DZ items drop even if its not the targeted loot for that item
Targeted Loot only really increases the chance for that specific thing to drop, it doesn't lock out other stuff.
Ah okay lol they are really rare then have yet to see the harmony or kardi in days of DZ farming
Inverse: when I was still farming for Orbit, got 3x Kard, 2x Liberty, not one Orbit.
It's all just RNG.
Best place to go for recalibration materials? Farm Gear Sets?
farm gear sets through targeted loot
So I haven’t played the game since tu8 and was using bakers dozen and bullet King with a lot of named items that I don’t remember the names of, I’m guessing this build is probably trash by now so what weapons are good now?
baker's dozen is a decent rifle, but you're betterment off with an cm1a with a damage talent imo
most weapons are good i think?
What exotics are good right now? I always used bullet King solely due to how well it used to suppress while I blindfired because the NPC’s were too aggressive and then when NPC’s were in the right spots I would use bakers dozen to finish them off
A lot of exotics are really good currently. Capacitor, Regulus, Liberty, Ravenous, Backfire, and more i'm sure are really good
lady death, chatterbox, chameleon, ravenous, pestilence are all great options
Scorpio sees a lot of use lately
Best exotic is BTSU Datagloves. 😄
It's everywhere. Since it's release I've yet to see at least 1 person (usually 2) not using it in a group. I sense a hard nerf coming.
Best Exotic is pre-change Dodge City, change my mind.
Is the Summit an all or nothing deal, or can you do it piece by piece?
Ok, thanks
fastest way to farm for specialization points?
Do you get summit caches at checkpoints?
Daily Bounties, after that just work on your exp.
Does increasing the SHD watch duration still screw the cool down of banshee pulse or has that been fixed?
Go around the other way, same Sewer.
I have killed the fat man of the cleaners 3 times and he does not give me the key, also they are supposed to give it to you when you open the door box and nothing
@mild pebble depending on your gear switch 4 directives on (all except ammo hoarder) and difficulty to either heroic or challenging, then go around hunting resource convoys
The elite ones aren't worth your time unless there is literally no other convoy on the map
That guy doesn't give you a key, it's literally in a side room in the same Sewer as him.
Just keep on going around, shoot a lock off if you gotta.
I know you don't give me the key, it's supposed to be inside a room, I go to that room and when you open the box where they give it to you, they didn't give it to me
Fixing and reparing the game
Oh this one... Took me days to completed it. The big guy didn't want to drop the yellow key. What I did was to join a friend's session (especially the one who already completed it), then go kill the big guy, he will drop the key.
i don' have any friends that have The Division 2
My Ubisoft Connect is stuck at Initializing, and I can't login to Epic Games. I suspect my ISP is having issue. If not, I'll bring you in.
Ty 😉
is your ISP working?
Something is not right with my ISP. For sure. Only battle.net works for now...
Is Cassie today?
I last played when the tower first came out. Have I missed anything of importance? Balance patches, major changes, new tools etc?
youll basically have to go read #patch-notes then to get caught up
Hello everyone, where i can start Bulwark Foundry and Future Iniciative Set Proyects?
I finished the Iron Horse Raid in Discovery but i dont find the Proyects talking to the NPC
Is needed to finish the raid in normal mode?
dont need to post in multiple channels. but has to be normal
Can you run DZ with 3 or 4 squads all friends?
You can, but it’s gonna be hard to get all 12 people in a server without transfers
Is the God Roll PFE mod super rare?
God roll mods are rare in general
To put it into perspective, I have 4.
I was an old player but left div. 2, I recently bought WONY, and finished campaign, now what should I do with my level 30 exotics?
Are they useless ?
Or is there any way I can bring them to level 40 ?
u can bring em to level 40 i believe
How ?
Crafting Table.
buy the blueprints from the Crafting Lady, then scroll down in the weapons part of the Table.
OK, is nemesis still good/in meta ?
Nemesis and the new(er) Mantis MMR are the equal best snipers.
2nd goes to White Death still, as always.
My acr does about 80k damage is that good?
Crit % and damage (CHC & CHD) are more important factors.
How to get improvised gear guys ? Still farming target loot or random drop in the world?
Improvised gear is exclusively crafted.
how man ? It's in crafting station ?
Go to your Crafting Table and have a look, everything you can get is in there, and it tells you how you get it.
np
are BTSU data gloves good in current meta ?
for healers, yes
Do directives only increase the amount of experience that you get at the end of a mission?
Increase drop rate of targeted loot also
I see
I just finished my first heroic mission post Warlords of New York and it was raining targeted loot so it doesn't seem like it's required to really get what you're going for
Anyone have longer load times lately?
What does the bullet with an exclamation mark symbol mean?
It seems to appear on enemies when I'm taking a long time to clear a room and I keep getting randomly set on fire
the npc has special ammunition like those fire bullets
Does it give all enemies special ammo if you take too long to clear a room? It's happened to me twice
No some enemies have like special ammo crate from where they get it
I think that's how it works
And depends on directives
That's strange
Twice now I've taken a long time to clear a room (Because I'm running solo heroic at the moment) and after quite a while it'll give them incendiary rounds
Can I finish the rigdeway vest quest killing the Hunters on the 100 floor or do i have look for them in NY (masks quests)?
you can use the hunters on floor 100 for the project
Thanks!
Hello everyone, at the time of the release I had played TD2 on PC until the first Raid and have now come back on the PS5 and got WoNY too.
I have now played a char on L30 and should now slowly start with the World Tiers. Does it even make sense (apart from the story) to continue playing here or should i switch directly to WoNY?
I also get the impression that you can hardly find people to play with.
Definitely go through the World Tiers at least once, you learn a lot.
That last point: there's an LFG if you scroll down in this server a bit.
the World Tiers is PART of the base game campaign. WonY doesn't naturally start until you reach World Tier 5
Don't mean to be pedantic but technically the Campaign ends at the True Sons stronghold.
however what happens in the World Tiers is Story
the ||invasion|| part is still part of the campaign
It's another chapter for sure, but the story can be considered wrapped up if you never reach them.
tbh it's kinda like WONY for me
Galain, you need a hand?
Thanks, i understand when it comes to story (which I had experienced back then on PC). But as you can start right away in the expansion I feel a little bit as i´m wasting time. Maybe that will change when you arrive in the World Tiers, but so far i feel quite alone in the world. At release you could do every mission together using the matchmaker. Now I do 9 out of 10 missions alone ...
reason i state is part of the base campaign is due to the cutsceen that playes after you clear CB, if it wrapped up then you wouldn't see the ||BTSU||in that cutscene which was there from launch
well its because peopel are max level now which is only natural
You can check out the lfg-early-game-ps4 channel on here and see if someone else wants to team up with ya too.
RE: story though, sure they are important, but to me it feels like it's something of a new chapter and not just another part of the same book.
even if you went to wony and started on 31-40, you still wouldn't find very many people in general MM as stated due to most people are max level
^
try out what I said about the LFG here. People start new characters all the time and are happy to speed-run through the missions if that's what you're after.
Thanks a lot for your answers. This time I try to enjoy the game a little more and not be under any time pressure. But still you are of course not so happy when you find nice loot, because in the end it is no longer "worth" anything.
Think of the pre-Lvl 40 stuff you find as you testing out different stuff.
How the hell do you guys pvp, even when I think my pvp build is decent I just get lazered ;-; My skills don't even affect them
how much armor u got?
DZ
ye, try 1.5m
Anyone know if you get more/less materials from resource convoys if you change the difficulty?
the same
ok thanks
each "box" gives as if you collected 1 of the world pickups which is 20-25 food/water/comp
I'm still squishy lmao
this guy has 10% hazard resist but still my jammer pulse don't affect him
50% base every player gets (with the specialization talen) and SC is 40% i believe
oh I thought that only applies to the normal pulse
i think it applies to all pulse effects as it states pulse resistance
yeah I guess you're right
I've always thought it only applied to the normal pulse
I'm using ridgeway and wicked as bp talent, I guess it's not so good lol
i could be wrong, i dont look much into pvp effects as i dont really take part in it
Makes it hard for me to farm dz for dz exclusive stuff
would the emp sticky bomb be better than the jammer pulse then?
Emp sticky takes more skill to use than jammer
Is normal raid to hard for a player who's average at best?
Define average
I mean, as long as you have a 50/150 dps build at minimum you’ll be just fine in raids
depends really
even if u pro at landing 9/10 shots with your sniper rifle doesnt always mean u can cooperate with your team/understand the raid goes
Can you:
Clear Heroic on your own with reasonable speed?
Can you follow directions and listen to someone else?
Can you understand and learn how fights work?
if you answered yes to all 3 above, you should be fine
use the lfg channels here in discord
people have done the raids with 6 people, but its easiest with 8
I see
IH has been cleared with 4 i believe
Sadly no Chad solo raid
well, u cannot really, the mechanic doesnt really let u solo it lul
Oh i see
and Dark hours HARD requires 4, IH hard requires 2 regardless.
probably can the 1st boss, but upon 2nd boss already a lock
Well i should start getting into raids now that I have bulids
my last raid last 4 hours
What do u get from it tho anything guaranteed that makes it worth spending your time?
u should be fine around 1 hour or less depends who the one that lead
If u don't even get exotic i think it's not worth
its not guarantee but
there's Future Initiative n Bulwark Chest/Backpack that raid exclusive
Are they any good/useful?
Also Ravenous n Regulus, exotic weapon
FI Chest/backpack is great for healer build
not sure about bulwark part, i'm not a tank person
Okay
bulwark is great for tanking
^ great for tanking, teh 2 chest/back arn't all that great however
but the FI pieces are both really good
ye, last raid I did healer
despite it was my 3rd IH
Nah i heard some ppl like it and that's about all about eagle bearer
eagle bearer a little overrated tbh
^^
its great, not best
I mostly see new ppl talk about it
Fast hands AR is the same as EB but with more damage 😛
its usually new people that want it
I assume it just adds more survivability AR
everyone wants an eb until you get it
the talent just seems to be mostly for survivability, it doesnt really add dmg anyway
Lady death is DZ exclusive?
its not
Oh good
so i guess it just let u use like PGC much easier
My dreams are not ruined
there are no more DZ exclusive exotics, are can be gotten from target loot now.
Nice
now that exclusive in DZ are just named gear n weapon
Do devs ever release new exotic outside of new season or only when new season is we are getting exotics?
its usually with every TU update
and TU's have coinsided with season starts
mainly its just when its new content
Is that true you can get exotic memento backpack just from farming backpacks? Can someone confirm that? I need to be 100% sure about it. Someone told I need to do bounties or something like that
yes
can confirm
you can do bounties if the targeted loot in the area is backpacks
gotcha
can u get the memento if you didnt unlock it in the pass?
ALL prior seasons exotics are in general pool
ok thanks
So I'm getting back into division 2 now and I haven't played since when warlords of new yorks first released. I was wondering what is the current meta right now and what are some top gear worth farming?
theres no straight up meta
arguably, high-end is kinda the best right now.
its mostly in terms of weapon, use what feels good to you and build a set around it
weather is a gear set or high end
If you want a good starting point, a solid go-to is a full red DPS high-end build. check out the pinned message in build-advice.
^ (rivens beat me to it)
Alright I'll take a look into that
ND gear set red dps is a much easier set to make FYI and still very strong
I genuinely have never even tried that.
ND?
Thanks
Sorry if I'm being a pain about this but is there a link for a build based upon that?
theres different ways to build it
i'm aiming for a grupo chest with obliterate and fox's prayer to use with ND
Biggest points about the set is: ND chest sucks and the ND backpack is pretty good but not must have (IE a vigilance backpack instead)
Alright and when red is being referred to its talking about the attributes right? Any of them I should prioritize aside from the usual crit chance, damage, and weapon damage?
when someone says “red build” they generally mean “all or mostly Red weapon cores with chc/chd”.
Fox Prayer with "8% DMG to target out of cover" is only dz exclusive?
okay cool
Pinned spreadsheet also tells you locations 😛 on named item tabs.
See if someone links something in chat, how do you view the item?
need to kill 2 rogue agents wheres the best place to get them to spawn?
Summit probs. Just go through and ISAC will make a noise when they're close.
has anyone experienced a weird glitch with the summit?
i continued my progress from level 41, got added into a random's session and we go from 41. the random leaves a 46 and when i return to my personal session, it seems i already can access level 100 even though this is my first time playing the summit
so i didn't actually get to play levels 47-99. is this like, a known thing or is my game bugged
So I haven’t played since TU8 and I want to try to get the memento backpack can I get it from locked faction chests in the backpack targeted area or is that only the GO bag?
You can get Acostas and Memento both from Targeted Loot: Backpacks.
I got like 50 keys so may as well spend em thanks
Those chests just contain random loot, they don't have a higher chance to get the Exotics.
So heroic checkpoints I guess?
Just an FYI, the Acostas can drop from the Lockboxes but it's a 3% chance.
Cleared out this area like 8 times on heroic and never seen exotics drop from things outside of missions
yeah there's a new thing called "Targeted Loot", where you have a chance to get an extra drop on top of your regular stuff, to increase the chance of getting said drop you add Directives.
the best way to farm out either of those two Exotics is probably for you to set it to Heroic, crank up the directives (as many as you can handle and stay fast) and then just get to farming.
does the above count for the "vile" exotic mask? cause ive literally been doing the american history museum all day with no luck. side question, does it matter if its the invasion version or not?
Yep, every Exotic that you can obtain from the Open World is available to get in the Targeted Loot, including Vile, Mantis, Memento, etc.
Either version works.
ok, guess im just terribly unlucky then. thank you
Does bonus armor apply to shields when active?
No, because shields have "health".
But i thought that shield health was determined by how much armor you have
yes, but no
shield health is determined by your armour or skill CORE attributes
the value doesn't matter, so long as you have an armour CORE
^
Oh well 14.7M shield health will do me fine, and the perfect intimidate will mesh well with my matadors perfect adrenaline rush when i finally get hunter-killer
you going for a regen build?
Foundry bulwark and liberty
Builds already great, i just thought the bonus armor would make it even better. But hey the matador/HK combo will mean i can be more aggressive with the damage buff, and base armor helps if i get flanked while doing it.
ah team tank
you may want normal intimadate or vanguard for chest instead
the 40% amp from HK is good and all but it doesn't seem to benefit you all that much
I have to get that chest open for the dye anyways
Vanguard is nice but it means i need to pop the shield up and down to refresh its bonus
its just like 1 second downtime for a lot a bonus armour for your team
Eh, my friends being the glass cannon DPS they are? The bonus armor would give them exactly an extra thento second of survivial
If you did not get the Vile mask from season 2, it goes into the exotic loot pool right? Like if I farm targeted "mask" loot areas I will have a chance to get it no?
It should be in the pool yeah
Hmm I feel like I'm getting gipped. Is there a particular faction that it's linked to like some exotics?
i think its just raid exotics and current season exotics that arent in the pool
an extra tentho is an extra tentho ¯_(ツ)_/¯
can u move talents from 1 piece of gear to another?
one last thing i forgot to ask about exotic drops. would it drop from the boss themselves or would it be an end of mission reward?
bosses drop it
Kinda, you need to destroy an item to pull a talent out of it, goes into your "Recalibration Library" and then you can add that once to as many items as you want.
When it's Targeted Loot, any enemy has the chance to drop it.
does moving attributes also destroy gear?
"extracting" anything from items always destroys it, but it goes into a re-usable Library.
be warned: once you "Recalibrate" a slot on an item, you can only ever Recalibrate that single slot on that specific item.
ok so lets say i extract a god rolled attribute i can use that as many times as i want on other items right?
Correct, but once you change a slot on an item, that specific item's slot is the only one you can ever change.
E.g. if I add Damage to Armour on an Assault Rifle, I can change that slot, but not the talent or the others.
so you can only change 1 thing on any given item
Correct.
You'll see a little crossed-tool icon on an item once you've changed a slot and the rest will be greyed out. Try it on a junk gear to see.
@inner tendon thank you very much
nw mate, happy Recaling.
thanks
yo if you extract something from a mask lets say , you can only use the extracted thing on masks or on everything?
Just the masks. The rolls you strip are only for the gear you strip it off of.
where are the bosses for the lady death exotic
New York, lots of locations, but just farm target loot
can you get it from bounties?
Yes
ok thank you
Is the virginian rifle still avalible from a secret guy or is it now in a targeted loot pool?
(caches) DZ, Named Item, Conflict locked.
Dark Zone, PvP area.
Oh boy....
Named Item caches can be purchased during Global Events using pink stars, just spam buy them, safest way.
Uh I think so, either Hollywood or Reanimated.
Anyone who knows the rolls on the Fenris Chest at Haven?
6.5% weapon damage
6.0% critical hit chance
16.9% repair skills
talent: empathic resolve
could be good for a hybrid healer
Thanks
what is the best way/place to farm shd levels?
open world activities on the highest difficulty and most directives you can handle
I was right about zoo being invaded time to see how fun it is
good luck 👌
Is there a better place to farm elite Rikers for Exposed? I've been using the Wall Street mission mostly, and killing everything except Dragov
cp4 that are riker taken can have elites
Oh nice suggestion, thanks
Anyone mind explaining what i should do now i am level 30?
progress through world tiers
strongholds if you didnt get the invasions cutscene telling you to do that
Once you get to level 30 and you've cleared DUA, Roosevelt Island, and the Capitol building, you move on to the world tiers.
i am now in world tier 3 should i keep going until i reach 5?
yes
Yep. Keep doing the BTSU missins until you get to the stronghold, each stronghold moves you up a world tier.
BTSU?
black tusk
Black Tusk Specialist Unit, the enemies you've been fighting since they took over DC.
okay i will return once i have done them
Can someone explain event?
I mean what to do in this event
Polarity switch?
Getting exposure or something
theres a details button in the season menu that kinda explains it
I guess
If they havent changed it, SHD exposed means that when you are in LOS to an enemy, you'll start getting a debuff that makes you take more damage.
When you cover-to cover you'll "wipe" all your stacks and apply them to all enemies around. A melee attack will transfer your stacks to that enemy, and if you kill an enemy with stacks those will be transfered to other targets in the area.
No clue if SHD exposed has been changed since it was last run
i dont think it has
When I transfer that debuff they take more dmg?
yes
Ok ty
Were do you find the Dz daily cache's?
That's exactly it, that's Exposed in a nutshell
It's a good check actually, to make sure you're running a decent tank build (or have the parts for one)
Tank? Just dps if u kill enemy before it kills u it's all good
is there any other method to get the nemesis blueprint other than grand washington hotel? been waiting for 2-3 weeks now for it to appear on invaded
tank builds workd good on this event since shields are not affected by the debuff
nope only way, and a month is the usual par time for it
could be anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks
Oh I'm using shield so yeah that's the only tank thing i have and unbrakable
3-6 weeks? that means at some point its guaranteed or just rng?
ya that was a few months ago wasn't it
damn thats just one week more than 6
yea was about 1 month ago i think
normal is about 4-5 weeks
rip, i have the worst rng in previous games, what did i expect to be different here
I've just hit lv40 what should my next step be or can I do anything
start planning a build, then farm for those pieces w/ the goal of getting godrolled stats
Okay thank you
anyone know how to fix change difficult, i did a main mission on story and now I would like to play it on higher difficulty but its not showing
ive logged out and back in
still doesn't work
You can only change difficulty once you complete the Campaign and reach Lvl 30.
Can I ask bout the ongoing event here or is there a different channel
here is fine
Anywhere's fine, #td2-general-chat message
^she linked to a summary of the event
Sweet, so 3rd task of Event: Expose Hostiles through a cover to cover discharge? How do I do that. I never have exposed proc for more than 2 secs max
stand in "sight" of enemies until the bar is filled, then do a cover-to-cover near an enemy
can someone help please
Sure, ask away Rei.
Ohh alright, ty I'll give it a whirl
When you click on a mission, hold G to open the directives+difficulty menu.
Send me a screenshot, i'd like to confirm something.
how can i do that in game?
the global stars u get from lvling up can only happen if u have the global event turned on?
you're on windows right? alt+enter to get out of full screen, then open up "snipping tool" (default program) and use that.
Correct, only if it's turned on.
Shift + S + Windows key for the snipping tool if you've enabled it
¯_(ツ)_/¯
if you literally just search for "snipping tool" in your windows bar it'll show up.
its the same thing
aspect check ur dm
its similar, but too apple-like for me.
Targeted Loot: Eclipse Protocol.
what map?
Open your map > press R. Do you see it? If no, open the other City's map > press R, still no? > Summit.
more like, check Lincoln -> check DCs non-mission areas -> check NY's non-mission areas -> go summit and dont look back
ite thnx
was more trying to get into the habit of how TL works lol
Targeted loot changes daily.
does lincoln have a higher chance to drop targeted loot in higher quality? or why is it always recommended to check that first?
there's 4 bosses in lincoln
oh i see, fair enough
small mission, 4 bosses, true sons
which means 4 guaranteed target loot drops i think
its just the perfect storm for loot
also with a good group you can clear it in like 10 minutes
bosses always have a guarenteed 1 target loot drop so hence why lincoln is so good
what spec do people run for legendary summit floor 100 farms?
Not sure about the first area, but in the 2nd if you run a well made Oxy build with a team of DPS, it's really good.
what gadgets are good against black tusk?
EMP anything.
emp anything?
Anything with the word "emp" in its name, special mention to the EMP sticky from Roosevelt Island Manhunt.
There was one posted in build-advice at some point, I'm sure you can find it by searching "hunter" or something.
Skills more depend on the build than the Faction.
mm but i need something to counter black husk, since fire aint really doing shit to robotics
so i need another skill to use
any recommendations
Theres 2. Jammer pulse & EMP sticky. You might not have EMP sticky yet.
With the Hound, shoot where the legs connect to the body, its very hard to miss as they're red.
Season 1's manhunt mission. You'll unock it at... level 58 on the pass, iirc.
is the new york dlc?
Yes.
Max lvl is 40, what Aspect is referring to is the Season Pass, separate thing.
whats the fastest way to get the season levels??
play the game
well clearly
Do you have a well made build? if you do just do open world activities at heroic + max directives
hmmmmmmmm
if you don't, just play the game, there is no real easy way
This event, what is the exposed debuff/buff doing exactly. Numbers wise
Its a incoming damage buff, meaning the more you have the more damage you take
So it like glass cannon but widespread
I could be doing this event wrong. But it definitely feel like more of a solo-y event. Simply for the fact that they're all focused on you so your always building expose stacks. For me at least in a group it's almost impossible for my to get full expose and then either melee or ctc before said enemy is dead.
what are expose stacks
It's for the event, whenever your in combat and an enemy is focused on you you build expose stacks. Once fully charged you can transfer said stacks 2 ways. First being a melee attack on the enemy, second being a cover to cover action.
oh ok ,thanks
The event is definitely easier to do solo since SHD exposed is based on if an enemy is looking at you.... If for any reason no enemy is looking at you, it is possible to lose the debuff when you complete the cover-to-cover action or melee an enemy.
Looking at the Hyena Engineer that stopped looking at me for a second the moment I completed the action... losing the debuff.. and regaining a full stack the moment I snap to the wall >.>
and then proceeded to melt to his shotgun.
how do I farm a set in a zone that doesn't feature the armor piece in a mission?
summit or wait and see if its somewhere tomorrow
I see, so there's no increase drop rate for fighting mobs at a harder difficulty?
But i'll try summit for now. Thanks!
wait, did you mean targeted loot in the open world?
yeah
oh, then stuff like control points, resource convoys, patrols, etc
also a great way to farm xp
Oh awesome, thanks!
Any recommended sets for someone who enjoys playing as a firewall?
Hunter's Fury is great for the close-range parts
^
Ooh ok, thanks so much!
Hi, need help. I bought warlords expansion. But I'm unable to access it. Does anybody know what I should do?
you need Lv 30 and World LV5
warlords is accessed via the helicopter outside of teh base of operations
I'm level 30, but I don't know how to check world level?
have you clear capitol building
I'm only seeing zoo, camp white oak, Kenly collage raids, the pentagon & coney Island.
ok you are wt5 then
as all that stuff only shows up when your wt5. then go out from the base of operations (there is a helicopter). talk to the guy there and he will take you to NY if you own wony
It's showing that I own the expansion in the store, but I'm only seeing a girl by the helicopter.
make sure its NOT the helicopter on the raised platform
thats the wrong one (that one is the raid one)
Oh, that's the one I keep going to XD
iirc you can also fast travel to NY through him viva the map too.
ya theres an icon for it
Thank you so much🙏🏾
Have you cleared all of the required missions?
i did the story yesterday
for it
tidal basic
i actually ran through it once
i need to do it again for a challenge.
Once you clear the normal strongholds, you need to unlock the invaded version by running the invaded missions first
If you click on the invaded Tidal Basin from your map, there should be a red line that's drawn leading to the prerequisite mission(s).
Are bounties timed? There's a 15 minute countdown starting when I completed the project
Or can I leave it and play it on my next play session?
You can re-enable the bounty in your next session
Also I found a sketchy guy named ??? Who offered me another bounty it seems
Ah, thats the Snitch. He shows you the location of Cassie Mendoza, the gunrunner.
Oh good to know, the bounty target killed me but my wife wanted to play AC so Ill try again next time
Awesome, looking forward to unlocking more bounties
what're some recommendd sets for gunner?
You don’t build around a specialization, you make a build first, and chose the best spec(s) for it
^^
Most builds maximize CHC, how often do you make a CH with the right gear?
60% of the time.
Wow, that's once every other hit on average
Is there somewhere I can see what the vendors have listed for sale?
So I’ve been gone since tu8 and the last build I was running was 2 piece providence with a vigilance backpack and perfect glass cannon/ in breakable chest depending on the situation, fox’s prayer, contractors gloves coyote mask bullet King and bakers dozen. What is a good run and gun build that I can use?
How to be 100% immune to bleed, for that exotic smg backfire I think
you need 94.5% bleed resist
check the pinned messages in #td2-build-advice
@cosmic ridge That's my exact build...I add Ceska for more CHC and Grupo for CHD
Yeh that’s right I got a ceska holster as well in this build
Build advice doesn’t even have memento or Scorpio shotgun so it seems a bit outdated
Wdym?
Just the spreadsheet itself in the pinned section of build advice and the hub tab only has builds for tu11 and no builds about using the new shotgun and memento
Those builds still work fine
Memento can be slotted into the HF build quite easily, and scorpio works in nearly any build
^
Nothing has changed about DPS between tu11 & tu12, too.
No need to change stuff that isnt broke
That’s just there for a simple template, you can just adjust and change stuff around to your liking
Ben, do we have the empress skill build in there?
I don’t believe we have that yet, it still says with murakami, but and quick edit can change that
Update that mofo.
o7
