[unborn dune]

so you can get exotic components

[wraith igloo]

can you guys tell me? i just been throwing them into the stash and they are taking a lot of space

[unborn dune]

to reroll exotics

[wraith igloo]

ok leason learned

do not select multiple exotics at once

so if i reach the max capacity of materials i just have make more exotics and then deconstruct?

[inner tendon]

Or use the mats you have to re-roll the %'s.

[mild oriole]

long time no see, Mam. how are you doing?

[inner tendon]

lol, uh yeah im doing alright. Yourself?

[mild oriole]

farm enough rivens to sell? LoL moving on to other games, since no content till EOY

[inner tendon]

Was never really into riven mods exactly, but yeah trying out other stuff too. Let's not clog up the newbie chat tho.

[mild oriole]

Yes, Mam.

[onyx hazel]

Anybody else hot a bug where you cant optimize items saying "item level to low for optimization"?

got*

[vast oar]

You can only optimize items that are level 40 if I recall correctly

[jovial badge]

is there a way to show my exotic mask on my carachter head or not ?

[jovial badge]

item need to be lvl 40 for that

[ivory sundial]

Go to your mask gear then click the left joystick

Then click on the always show mask tab

And boom now its on

[jovial badge]

yay thanks man !

[dull pasture]

do the variants "Military" or "Black Market" or "Classic" have any effect on the stats of an RPK?

[oak talon]

most variants of guns have very slight changes to the accuracy/stability/recoilpattern, its enough to be seen in a AB test, but not a real factor that matters as it always very slight.

one that can actually matters is that some variants will have different mod slots, like 2 of the aug smgs can take the firewall +10 crit mod, but one cant. as an example

for the variants like the m60 classic vs m60 e4/e6, or akm vs military/BM akm where the classic is 1 slot less, they get a base dmg boost that is usually less than the loss of a chc +5 , so those should be avoided unless you are good on chc

[dull pasture]

got it, thanks

so I have a Military RPK with max rolls on LMG and Mag size and I'm working on optimizing the DttooC. This LMG will basically do me well for any endgame PvE content?

[oak talon]

magsize isnt really a worthwhile 3rd attribute, for lmgs either go chc, dta/dth or rof as the 3rd attribute if you have the option

[grand nebula]

yea but could be slightly better with a more usefull 3rd

[dull pasture]

That's good because I haven't recalibrated anything yet

Thanks for the help

[grand nebula]

well depends on the talent too

[dull pasture]

ah, it's fast hands already

[oak hare]

Is the regulus worth the grind?

[unborn dune]

yes

[prisma whale]

Highest damage per shot pistol in the game.

[true siren]

is seeing enemies heads explode into peices worth the grind?

[prisma whale]

Do it with Dodge City Holster

WooW WOOW WooW

[lilac latch]

Can any1 help me with last dragov mission and then finish keener

[cerulean vale]

go for #lfg-early-game-pc or #lfg-end-game-pc, idk which one these two missions would be early or end game

[lilac latch]

I did lol its ded

[true siren]

this isnt a LFG chat

[cerulean vale]

eh, all you can do is wait, better then someone warning you or something.

[true siren]

^

[cerulean vale]

Btw, I have a question, is it possible for a sniper turret to hit for about 11M or 12M? (Body shot, not HS)

[true siren]

havent done the testing personally ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[prisma whale]

If you have a skill build for striker drone and assault turret, try it.

[cerulean vale]

I'm going to do it today, just can't right now. I made some maths, and it seems that it is possible, didn't test it out yet

[prisma whale]

Just gotta swap the assault turret with sniper and its gooolden.

Capacitor has made alot of skill damage things possible these days.

[cerulean vale]

My sniper turret does 6.4M damage just with the skill tiers, but I want to do the testing with both Combined Arms (30% increase) and Capacitator fully stacked (40% or 45% increase)

And it seems that it can hit up for about 10M up to 12M

[prisma whale]

Put wave form in there too

[cerulean vale]

hm, which one is this? The one that you move around to gather skill damage or something?

[prisma whale]

Naw, the one where you wait 10 seconds for one to fill up then it waves to the other

[cerulean vale]

I need to see which one is this, I don't think I have it, since I'm using 1 Serpe, 3 Empress and 2 Hana-U

But yeah, which brand is it?

[prisma whale]

Exotic

Exotic Holster with the black tusk symbol on a monitor.

[foggy needle]

keep in mind, Combined Arms will be an extra multiplicative factor, while capacitor and waveform will be additive to base.

[cerulean vale]

Oh, I think I have it. Gonna test first with the build I'm using rn (just not playing because homework) and then with Waveform

[safe gorge]

school can wait, testing the build is more important

[cerulean vale]

wait, so Capacitator and Waveform would increase the base damage 6.4M(of skill tiers), and then Combined arms would increase this amount by 30%?

[foggy needle]

correct

[oak talon]

for an extra super sniper turret, pair it with a artificer and overcharge

[cerulean vale]

Like:

Skill Damage x capacitator = Damage1

Damage1 x Combined arms = Damage2

[foggy needle]

Capacitator and Waveform get added to skill tiers

[cerulean vale]

something like that?

[foggy needle]

no

[cerulean vale]

I'm dumb, explain please

[foggy needle]

its (Skill damage stat + capacitator + waveform) x Combined arms

[cerulean vale]

Huh, ok. I will test this later, thanks for explaing

[foggy needle]

Np

[brisk pond]

Are there any guides for gearing up, right when you hit 40?

Just hit fourty, but have zero idea what I need to be doing to farm up.

[grand nebula]

check pins

[cerulean vale]

I'm gonna test the thing right now, let's see the damage

@foggy needle 10M damage, pretty near to 11M tho

(sorry for the ping btw)

[dull pasture]

can I ask why dth is a worthwhile attribute? Seems like 90% of my damage is to armor

[grand nebula]

damage to health applies to warhounds, tank guys, weakpoints, enemy skills, any objective

[dull pasture]

Got it

[oak talon]

what eph said and its a higher percentage than dta, but both are situational, and up to personal preference and what you are planning on fighting

lmgs already having dttooc already as their class bonus gives some freedom to put what you prefer as the third attribute

[foggy needle]

Np, grats

[dull pasture]

currently my guild is working on Iron Horse. We're stuck on Gray but we're hopeful once we get our newer members up and running we'll clear since we've gotten him down to 70% hitpoints a few times with 6-man.

Currently I'm running full skill damage but I was looking to put together a DPS RPK build so I can also hold a sweet dreams for the fight. DtA sounds better on paper but if DtH covers weakpoints and therefore helps keep his backpack down I might just run with that.

[oak talon]

for grey and IH in general go DTA, most of the things in there that need dps are armoured

[dull pasture]

hmm ok. I just got a ton of great LMGs to comb through, I'll see if I have a DtA one lying around.

[alpine bronze]

Is the Memento still good?

[foggy needle]

Always has been for pve.

It's meant for CQB builds though

[prisma whale]

ALWAYS HAS BEEN

[arctic tusk]

does ecplise protocol apply to pestilience's DoT?

[true siren]

no

[compact forge]

does anyone know how to do this SHD exposed event thing?

[narrow kraken]

@compact forge Open the season menu (esc then select the season on the right, and go open the details for the event in the season schedule. You'll find both a switch to activate it (check bottom of screen for hotkey, I think it's F), and a rough description of how the mechanics work.

[prisma oriole]

Anyone got any tips for killing those 4 hunters that spawn at once in NY?

[inner tendon]

you can do it on Normal if it's too tough.

[lunar wadi]

@prisma oriole riot foam and blinder firefly

[prisma oriole]

Ah thanks

I'll def try those out

[verbal topaz]

I have in game hints enabled but somehow it's not showing on loading screen? Not that I really care but curious to know why.

[prisma oriole]

No idea, might just be a bug on your end

[prisma oriole]

Failed miserably, I'm just too shit to ever beat these guys so imma just give up for another 8 months

[dull pasture]

Is the FAL good or nah? I saw like 4 build guides on yt using the SA-58 but it's pretty far down there on the sustained dps lists.

[willow gale]

fal is insane in pvp, kinda meh in PVE cuz of mag size

[oak talon]

its average on both pve and pvp, not great at anything but good enough to work, it get outdone by plenty of guns on the burst end for pvp porpuses, but most of those are high rpm with just barly enough dmg per mag to kill reliably, thats why its become a pvp staple, but it gets outdone by a carbine 7 on all fronts.

and on the pve end it doesnt have the best synergy with fast hands because of its -10 mag, so its near the bottom there.

[arctic tusk]

scorpio can drop anywhere technically right

[inner tendon]

yes, but your best chance to get it is Shotgun Targeted Loot.

[supple bane]

does/will the dz vendors ever sell system corruption gear?

[noble iris]

ive always wondered... is there a way to transfer credits between agents?

[grand nebula]

Not that im aware aside from buying from vendor stashing and selling on another toon

No way cross players tho

[noble iris]

i see

but doint you lose some value doing htat?

[grand nebula]

Indeed

[dull halo]

If you have more than 1 character, make sure to buy the "share" stuff to Inaya so your characters share most things. (don't remember the correct name)
If you have a Hardcore Character, you can have your backpack full so everything you get goes to the "DZ" stash that you can later open on your HC.

If you're thinking like between you and a friend, that's not possible, unless you drop him gear/stuff for him to sell later

[noble iris]

io have the share thingy from the crafting lady, but thats only for crafting recipes and recalibration stuff... itr doesnt share credits

[tiny granite]

Am I wrong or does the Carbine 7 and the Honey Badger have the exact same stats aside from that missing underbarrel attachment?

Muzzle*

[oak talon]

the honey has a higher base dmg at that same rpm

but for most build its not high enough to make up for the missing 5 chc

[foggy needle]

also honey has less handling and range too iirc

[oak talon]

no, honey has the same optimal, and a different but not worse recoil patern, the honey badger is basically a akm to mil/BM akm style version of the carbine 7.

[foggy needle]

Ah well then nm.

[willow gale]

i thought u were calling azur honey

i was dying

[foggy needle]

Hi Mr. Was Dying, im dad 😄

[prisma whale]

I imagine the Honey Badger to be a more closer type of AR than carbine 7 without being forced into overflowing 🙃

It does have some pretty nasty HSD burst up close.

[narrow kraken]

Is there a 10 round extended 7.62 mag or just the 20 round one? I don't have either of them so it'd be cool to know

[grand nebula]

there is yea

you can see all the blueprints in the table

[jovial badge]

Is it still possible to drop the regulus pistol ? Need it to try a build lol

[willow gale]

only while in the raid u/they obtained it in

[jovial badge]

Also how/where do you drop it ? 😅

[unborn dune]

do IH

and the first time you do it, you get two projects

[grand nebula]

Finish iron horse raid and do the projects you get from it

[jovial badge]

Thanks time to find a group

[unborn dune]

make sure you have a proper dps build and you'll most likely find someone to carry you

[tiny granite]

I got a weird question

Why are shotguns not displaying the right damage output?

[grand nebula]

wdym?

[tiny granite]

My Rock and Roll has 10% dttooc mind you and does "406,176" damage

Yet one pellet does 55,851

[grand nebula]

well its the damage per shot and each shot is 8 pellets

[tiny granite]

Times 4 equals 223,404

8???

[grand nebula]

yes

every shotgun fires 8 pellets

[tiny granite]

Everytime I shoot I only see 4

[willow gale]

ur eyes are decieveing u

[grand nebula]

turn on the chat damage numbers

[tiny granite]

I swear, I have it on random sphere

PS4 :'/

[willow gale]

cant u still do it on PS4?

[tiny granite]

Nope

[grand nebula]

well im not sure what else to tell you but they shoot 8 pellets for sure

[tiny granite]

The dps matches but I don't know what to believe

[willow gale]

shoot it at a wall and see how many holes?

[grand nebula]

i was testing crit on shotguns and every single time the chat showed 8 damage numbers

[tiny granite]

8 pellets at wall

[grand nebula]

so i assure you they shoot 8 pellets

[tiny granite]

Why does it deceive me with 4? Is this just a console thing?

[grand nebula]

likely the pellets are shots in 2 waves of 4 which obscures the numbers from 4

[silk parcel]

actually the game never displayed properly the number of pellets/bullets sometimes can be deceiving..with fast firing weapons sometimes i get some non rendered bullets

with shotguns having pellets wise you might get the impression it shots just 4

[prisma whale]

Tis true. Still accurate being 8.. also shoot into a wall and count the nice holes they make :>

[oak talon]

instructions unclear, shot wall while clipping shotgun into it, 1 hole, ricochet took left eye

😛

[prisma whale]

Ironically, thats still a hole.

:>

[compact forge]

is it possible to get crit chance and crit damage attributes on a fenris chest piece? ive only ever seen one or the other on it

[willow gale]

yes

u can get crit chance and a crit dmg roll

[gentle dome]

is the digital scope for bakers dozen best in slot or not?

[midnight osprey]

whats the difference between m1a qcb and socom m1a, or lightweight m4 and lvoa c?? are they essentially same gun with different name or something different in stats??

[inner tendon]

Minor differences in stats.
e.g. Classic M1-a, CQB, socom are all very slightly different.

M1-a has the most damage, but for some people, the firing feels somewhat sluggish

[midnight osprey]

i know classic m1a have better damage but slower rate of fire.. im talking about m1a qcb and socom m1a..

both of them have same rate of fire.. is the damage same too?

[inner tendon]

"minor difference in stats"

Last I recall, the cqb is better in close quarters (as you might expect from the name) and the socom is the balance between it and the classic.

personally? the socom is slicker in-use so it wins out. But none are really "worse" than the others.

[supple bane]

What is the best way to farm system corruption? Ik its a dz exclusive before someone says do dz but what do i do in dz. Is it better to go rogue and kill people for caches or farm landmarks?

[inner tendon]

Unfortunately, there's no Targeted Loot for it, so you kinda have to get lucky.

[obsidian leaf]

Hello.. sorry if wrong channel to ask..

PC Spec_
i5-8400
gtx 1070 8gb

i play 1440p.. low setting,
but still fps drop .. got lagging when play..

my cpu need to upgrade?
or what ?

[supple bane]

Does no activity on dz have a better chance?

[inner tendon]

Not really. I mean, can you find some kind of "Targeted Loot: gearssets"? apart from that i dont think so.

[supple bane]

Ik its best to farm when theres a general target like backpack, gloves etc

[supple bane]

Not anymore

Ill try doing landmarks bc then i dont need to deal with pvp gankers and tryhards

[inner tendon]

getting flashbacks to last time i tried to farm in there. getting ganked in Landmarks.

[supple bane]

Recently dzs have been pretty empty for me

Just wish that they reran the system corruption season

Ive only ever gotten 2 pieces of system corruption and 1 of the peices isnt useable for my build

[inner tendon]

They actually did re-run it. It was originally Season 1.

[narrow kraken]

They did re-run it as Season 5 just a few weeks back

[supple bane]

God dammit

[inner tendon]

it also included the 2 best gun skins ingame, so you missed out on 2 things

[supple bane]

Of course i decide to play division 2 again after

[inner tendon]

Murica Sawnoff and Dark Winter bling.

[narrow kraken]

The Legacy Season caches can still give you pieces, I've gotten several

[supple bane]

Heres to hoping for a re-re-run

[inner tendon]

knowing MSV, there'll be one.

[narrow kraken]

Hopefully they re-run Season 2 before doing a revisit to Season 1 though.. Iirc I saw Hollow Man as a reward in the old Season 2 track (didn't play then)

[supple bane]

I missed a few seasons. I think they might do something where they rerun the seasons in the same order they originally ran them

[inner tendon]

I'm assuming it'll be in order again, since they've already done 2 the second time.

[narrow kraken]

But the odds/time frame of that happening is likely lower than the odds of a Hollow Man appearing at a DZ vendor again this year.

[narrow kraken]

Hmm, second time? Season 2 has only been once, and they won't repeat it now (we're on Season 3 re-run and then it's S4 and then new content)

Maybe I misunderstood what you meant

[inner tendon]

I'll give you a sec to work it out.

[narrow kraken]

It's weird for me to use "2" instead of "two" when referring to count in a context where the items are literally named by their number but ok.

[arctic tusk]

what to do with duplicate exotic armor? deconstruct or sell?

[oak talon]

selling isnt worth it, so deconstruct

[fallow inlet]

Always deconstruct or put in storage

[oak talon]

it will get you a exotic component aswell for deconstucting, that you can use for reconfiguring other exotics

[fallow inlet]

Up to 20 pcs

[supple bane]

You could have 2 of the same and reconstruct the worst until you get godroll

[fallow inlet]

Correct

[supple bane]

So youre always assured a decent one if you arent able to max one

[foggy needle]

my b didnt fully read.

[fallow inlet]

Roflol

I do same thing

[arctic tusk]

right so, guess relevant moment: got 2 acosta's go-bag. one max skill haste, the other one with slightly less numbers. not sure if deconstructing the duplicate was the same as weapons

[foggy needle]

hey, my coffee buff isnt in full effect yet!

[fallow inlet]

By the way good morning Az

I'm still in lying in bed

[arctic tusk]

exotics are always gonna have the same attributes, just different rolls right?

[fallow inlet]

Correct

[foggy needle]

@fallow inlet 👋

[fallow inlet]

Best thing todo is reroll them to close to God rolled as you can

[arctic tusk]

last night ran a legendary stronghold, and almost failed because no one would shoot the named tank's backpack to stop him from healing despite me saying it twice to do so. got an exotic cache only to get an acosta go-bag but with worse rolls.

do exotic caches only give ones you have/can drop? or what?

[foggy needle]

exotic caches give you and RNG item, from the exotics in your target loot pool. So all exotics minus Raid and Big horn. And the crafted exotics you need to own the blue print 1st.

[arctic tusk]

any way to sort mods by numbers?

[foggy needle]

no, but you can sort by stat.

[supple bane]

If you replied to me i didnt see it bc i want on my phone

[foggy needle]

i did but, didnt fully read the post lol so nm.

[exotic olive]

Can you leave DZE and go to DZW to extract yer contaminated crap?

[foggy needle]

no, leaving deletes the gear

[oak talon]

any fast travel will, so you cant bounce around the same dz even once you have loot you want to keep

[exotic olive]

bleh

[willow gale]

u can re log

for diferent server

[exotic olive]

so you cannot go to the checkpoint with contaminated gear at all
including deconstructed ones

there are safehouses tho, those work?

[willow gale]

u cant fast travel at all

[oak talon]

you can go in, but fast travelling will destroy your contaminated inventory, so will leaving into lz

[exotic olive]

the checkpoint between LZ and DZ counts as LZ?

[willow gale]

if the server is full of rouges just simple, re log/join a friend to get on a different server and then go extract

[foggy needle]

yes because that is OUTSIDE the DZ.

[willow gale]

u can go in the checkpoints just not fast travel or leave checkpoint in LZ

[stiff cedar]

is there a way to see what server you're in?

[willow gale]

no

well u know what region

[stiff cedar]

that's a shame

[inner tendon]

Technically speaking, yes. Well kinda, as it'll just pick the best one for you. The easiest way to "change" it is to log on and off.

[narrow kraken]

I think you missed the actual question. The answer is No.

[inner tendon]

No, the question had already been answered, and I added the extra bit of info.

technically it is possible to see what server you're on, by seeing what other players are around you.

[stiff cedar]

is there any reason I'll deconstruct an item and then get a popup saying I got 0 of a type of material?

I assume it's just a minor visual bug

[inner tendon]

Well there are limits to how many mats you can store, so you're probably just hitting the cap.

[stiff cedar]

I looked to make sure, I'm not capped on anything

[inner tendon]

interesting, likely a visual bug yeah.

[foggy needle]

Deconstruction gives RNG amount of items. So could just be you got 0 on the RNG roll. (assuming you are not at cap).

[stiff cedar]

cool, cool. wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something there, thanks

[balmy ore]

what shade level is recommended to do raids ?

[willow gale]

doesnt matter

[inner tendon]

it's less about your SHD level and more about your build.
Can we assume a generic red DPS?

if that's the case, have between 50-60% CHC, north of 150% CHD and listen to what the Raid leader tells you.

[balmy ore]

alright thanks

[inner tendon]

best of luck. Maybe watch a video about the Raid before you do it, and deffo start with Dark Hours.

[modern wasp]

[grim wyvern]

anyone knows where cassie mendoza is currently?

[oak talon]

you would have to find the snitch first, giving you her location without you having found the snitch means she will not be visible

[grim wyvern]

well, where is the snitch then?

[oak talon]

here is a map of possible snitch locations : ~~https://rubenalamina.mx/the-division-weekly-vendor-reset/#&gid=1&pid=1~~ https://rubenalamina.mx/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Map-Snitch-Cassie.png

[inner tendon]

^
go to a big cluster and start checking. There's no fool-proof way of speeding it up.

[oak talon]

whenever you come near a position, he may spawn if you havent had him spawn recently, but its random so you have to check a bunch usually, or may get lucky on the first one

[inner tendon]

there is one way that used to work, but im not sure if it's still a thing. So just stick with that Kia said.

[grim wyvern]

well another question

can i farm the contractor gloves in summit

or they only spawn in dz?

[oak talon]

contractors isnt a dz item, so it will drop anywhere

[grim wyvern]

google ain't helping

and so is reddit kinda, there topics are old

ty

[inner tendon]

ignore reddit, there's a pinned message over in #td2-build-advice, open the spreadsheet. that is gonna be your best source of info about that kinda thing

[weak flume]

anyone having issues with connecting to the server when using stadia

[pulsar condor]

Guys what is going on with the SHD exposed event i am so confused

[true siren]

if you are in line of sight of a hostile, you'll gain "exposure" stacks, which increases the damage you take (more stacks= bad) BUT when you do a cover-to-cover move with full stacks, you'll transfer the stacks to enemies near the end of the cover-to-cover move. If you melee a hostile, you transfer your stacks to that enemy

[pulsar condor]

how can i view the challenges for this?

[atomic aspen]

If my friend buy Hunter killer Chest from Cassie Mendoza, can he share it?

[true siren]

no

[true siren]

should be where you activated it. escape, season panel, event

[foggy needle]

cant share store bought items.

[atomic aspen]

Okay then it's time for me get 8 off white keys

[placid hollow]

Was trying to help a friend get ridgeway. It seems like the Hard Shoulder pads floor 11-20 will not drop the component, is this normal?

[foggy needle]

the parts were floor changed in the last summit update, double check you are looking at the correct guide.

but its a 100% drop from the chest.

can also look at the part numbers and it tells you its floor IE 0110 Name = floors 1-10

Locations fyi
"Body Armor" floor 1-20
"Shoulder Pads" floor 21-40
"Hunting Knife" on floor 41-60
"Flag Patch" floor 61-80
"Dog Tags" floor 81-100

[placid hollow]

Im a dipshit, was using the old guide farming the wrong floor. Thanks

[foggy needle]

hehe

[ionic vector]

if i have already found the snitch and done his bounty last week to find cassie, do i still need to do it again this week or will she be open regardless

[grand nebula]

no need to do the bounty, just find him every week

[oak talon]

you need to refind the snitch every time cassie relocates after closing

and what eph said

[arctic tusk]

does the current global event about being exposed prevent you from changing skills?

also any way to fix the lighting in the game? at times the light just blinds me because of how bright and foggy it makes everything look

[prisma whale]

No. Are you trying to swap off of a shield?

[arctic tusk]

yea but it was not in use. happened with chem launcher too when despite full ammo wouldnt let me switch

[tame osprey]

does anyone have a skill based build i can take a look at for doing legendary floors on summit and hunters pls

[inner tendon]

You already posted it in the proper place, once is fine.

[grave python]

do heroic convoys with directives still give 1 level each about

[oak talon]

heroic, 5 directive convoys, give 660k xp each, and that will be usually 1 level per convoys as you need 700k, but you also get kills and accolades

[grave python]

alright thanks

@fallow inlet yes I do run, got game working again with s general fan pointed at my pc, just figured out that having room temp at 30•c (because heatwave outside) does not contribute to cooling lol

[oak talon]

classic m1a is considered the best, if you are ok with clicking a bit more, the m1a cqb, the acr ss and mdr are good too

[hallow niche]

where can i find the settings in the division 2 to place items next to each other and place the damage numbers somewhere else

[cerulean vale]

I've seen people using coyote mask as level 30 before, so yeah, I think it can drop on DC

[grand nebula]

no, Coyotes is level 40 only

the only way to get it to level 30 is reconfiguration shenanigans but requires DLC anyways

[hollow girder]

I swear, I get one answer and then another right after

[willow gale]

well

it depends who u get the anwser from

im normally spewing bull shit so just ignore me

[oak talon]

go with what eph said, coyote was a season 1 exotic and as such not available normally at 30

[willow gale]

Eph typically knows what hes talking about

[hallow grove]

Listen to eph . He knows his stuff (most of the time ) 😂

[balmy ore]

how i do disable directives from the summit ?

[foggy needle]

lobby elevator > select directives menu.

[oak talon]

quick question, all rof from talents, attributes and gear is also just one category right, so all additive to each other?

[foggy needle]

yup

[oak talon]

just double checking , a dude really wanted frenzy stats and i was considering doing it with a rate of fire and dta lmg, just never had more than one rof on a build before i think

[supple bane]

if i make a secondary character can i use the shd points as soon as i make them or so i need to do somethign first?

[inner tendon]

You'll need to finish WONY with your new (assumedly) Boosted character. As soon as you finish it, you get all your SHD points to spend again.

[supple bane]

i'll wait until i get a good build together to speedrun through wony

[oak talon]

you cant boost speedrun yourself really, others can, but your lvl 30 char cant equip anything higher lvl gear than its lvl

[inner tendon]

Actually I was talking about the option to go straight to NYC.

its commonly called a "character boost"

[oak talon]

nah, you're good, i shouldnt have used boost there

just common way of saying blasting trough content

going trough it yourself solo is 4-5-ish hours if you go as fast as you can, 3h40m if you know what you are doing

[narrow kraken]

Best way to get Lady Death? I'm on Challenging, solo at the moment and can't quite keep up with Heroic yet.

I hear SMG targeted loot and bounties are a solid choice, but would like to hear what other ways people have used to get it

[foggy needle]

Same way to get 99.9% of gear, farm target loot.

[noble iris]

can a hardcore agent play with non-hardcore agents?

[foggy needle]

nope

only with other hardcore agents

[noble iris]

i see i see

good to know

[balmy ore]

what is hazard protection ? is it protection from all kind of status effect or hazard as in contaminated gas/dark zone thingy

[foggy needle]

its protection from status effects. It reduces duration and damage of them, and lists the hazards in game on the stat tab (highlight hzd protection).

[balmy ore]

okay okay...thanks

[cerulean vale]

Targeted Loot would be my choice there, bounties in the same area would be also nice

[narrow kraken]

Thanks c:

[arctic tusk]

does stability affect like, how recoil works? like how much the gun moves when you hold down the trigger?

[inner tendon]

stability is kick, accuracy is the reticule blooming.

[arctic tusk]

so if using bullet king and my crosshair is flying everywhere, stability?

[foggy needle]

yes thats stability

stability affects how much the crosshairs moves. and accuracy affects how much the crosshair grows.

[arctic tusk]

also when on fire does dodge rolling do anything or am i just making myself feel better?

[tired condor]

can anyone tell me the best way to get dark winter?

[unborn dune]

target farming SMGs

[tired condor]

on summit or DZ?

[oak talon]

dark winter is a dz only drop, so dz or named/legacy caches are your best bet

[oak talon]

rolling does nothing when you are on fire sadly

[tired condor]

thanks, guess i better try to find some help lol

[oak talon]

you could farm some named caches from the global event that activatable this week,

[tired condor]

no idea how tbh, im new. what DZ location though?

[oak talon]

the global event (GE) will let you earn stars that you could spend to get named caches, and the GE is in the normal world so you dont have to dz

but the caches are offcourse rng and might not net you a dark winter, but for a new player like yourself, you will probably get somethings that are usefull to you

[tired condor]

i mean, i have a decent amount of god role pieces and a build that easily solos heroics with most modifiers, i just need the dark winter to complete it lol

[oak talon]

you can turn on the global event and read up on it in the season menu from the esc screen

your other best bet, is to wait for targeted smg's in one of the dz, but that will guarantee its going to be a very busy dz

[tired condor]

are the caches in the season pass or? i cant find the store but i have like 30 stars or whatever to spend in wallet

found it

[oak talon]

the season vendor is at the white house public area, when you fast travel there, go trought the gate leading towards the helipad, and its the first few ppl on your right

[tired condor]

what would be better, named item or exotic?

or do i have to get the exotic

[oak talon]

from the shop you can buy whatever you want aslong as you have the stars, i would recommend named cache, exotics are easier to farm for most

[narrow kraken]

Can someone give me high level stuff plz

[true siren]

Not how it works

[willow gale]

yes yes whats ur IGN

[supple bane]

how do i hop dz sessions?

[willow gale]

log out log back in, or play a conflict

[supple bane]

"or play a conflict"
KEKW no

[willow gale]

log and relog

[grim wyvern]

can you drop contractor gloves from summit?

[tulip fiber]

Yes. Farm Petrov.

[grim wyvern]

ty

[tulip fiber]

Sure

[dull pasture]

the MG5 is mentioned as one of the top Fast Hands LMG in the game, right? Is that also true for the Infantry MG5 even though it's somewhat low on the sustain charts?

[oak talon]

notice how it says -1 mod next to the normal mg5, its a bit of a clue 😛

the normal has higher base but is missing 1 slot for crit chance, in practical terms, it falls at almost the exact same sustain once you acount that you have to probably run an extra chc mod instead of chd on a lmg build.

now if you go coyote and sit at 54 chc and run the normal mg5 then it does have a few % on the infantry one, so kind of build dependant

[grim wyvern]

just got it dropped lmao

cant post pic here but thanks

[tulip fiber]

Nice man

You’re welcome

[dull pasture]

Hm, ok. So I assume I shouldn't sweat whether I have top or bottom of the DPS charts on my LMG choice if the difference is that slight. Thanks, I'll just stick with my maxed RPK then.

[tulip fiber]

At the end of the day, it’s up to you to run what you’d like personally. People diss the EB, but I still enjoy it.

[dull pasture]

I enjoy minmaxing, so it's nbd.

Can I ask another question? What are some safe SHD calibration point investments? So far I've been sending them all into a Fox's Prayer. I currently have a HF scorpio setup and a Waveform Force Multiplier skill build that I use quite often too.

[prisma whale]

A build that youj know you are going to use often is probably going to do it.

HF? Normal DPS? SKill DPS?

which one of those tickles the fancy?

[tulip fiber]

I’d save the SHD recal points until you get that one particular piece where it won’t cost a lot to optimize. In the meantime, grind it up to hopefully find those god rolled pieces.

[oak talon]

also if you are interested, once reddit is back up as its getting ddos-ed atm, on the division subreddit some idiot did a whole writeup on lmgs and talents, might be interesting for you, its one of the top posts in the r/thedivision subreddit still.

[dull pasture]

Skill DPS is what I end up using for legendary weekly runs so I guess I should work most on that. HF is fine but it's mostly for doing summit floors while turning my brain off.

[dull pasture]

oh no way. I speak fluent idiot. I'll give it a look

[true siren]

yeah i was trying to look @ reddit and got a whole lot of nothing, DDOSed explains it. thx

[oak talon]

well i dont know if it was a actual ddos, but on reddit status all the graphs for pageviews and such were at 0, indicating it being all the way down for everyone

seems all ok again now though

[dull pasture]

huh, didn't realize new reliable was so decent in pve dps.

So if I'm reading that right, if the added handling in the new reliable leads you to hit 1 out of 6 more shots than you would have otherwise missed, it'll compete in dps with a fasthands rpk, is that right? That's not unreasonable at all imo.

[grand nebula]

its hard to quantify, recoil can be negated but accuracy bonus means more rounds on target, but depends on range of engagement

[oak talon]

so for me the biggest surprise was the new reliable aswell, as how decent it is just on the sustain number alone, it wasnt really on my radar but these trails have made me reconsider it a bit. and as eph said, its going the be playstyle and situation based, but its atleast worth a consideration at that 8% sustain increase.

[prisma whale]

Reloading Faster, Easy to handle and easy to keep rounds on targets

Like it or not, Machine guns actually do jump around alot and are usually hard to keep in control on target, despite the accuracy being pinpoint.

New Reliable be like naw bruh, keep it on their faces

[dull pasture]

New Reliable is an AR cosplaying as an LMG change my mind?

[prisma whale]

And Chameleon is an SMG cosplaying as an AR

iKia is the king of England.

Eph is a goblin.

:>

[grand nebula]

king of em, that big one in The Hobbit

[oak talon]

wait, why do i have to deal with england, cant someone else take them.

😛

[delicate arrow]

where the heck mantis drops? I mean, I do for couple of hours the marksman rifle loot mission, but I get sweet dreams and nemesis..

[inner tendon]

Targeted Loot: MMR is your best bet. A few hours farming it is pretty quick, to increase your chances stack on Directives and just try your best.

[delicate arrow]

MMR?

[inner tendon]

Marksman Rifle = MMR.

[delicate arrow]

I am aware of that, but does it really drop there?

[inner tendon]

Targeted Loot just increases the drop rate of whatever you've "Targeted". Each Directive added increases that chance by a small amount.

[arctic tusk]

i feel stupid for asking this but why can't I find anything about the Scorpio? i can't find information on it aside from youtube videos, but aside from that, only way to get it iirc is from shotgun targeted drops?

[inner tendon]

Same as 99% of gear yeah, Targeted Loot and stack Directives.

[foggy needle]

^^^ Also all gear info is on the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice

[silent coral]

Is the Backfire really worth using?

[true siren]

I love it, but its got its faults.

[silent coral]

Okay so what is the 5 digit number under your clan insignia?

Is that the gear score?

[inner tendon]

Gear Score isn't a thing once you buy the DLC and reach NYC.

what number?

[supple bane]

I would not consider hf turn brain off. Legendary skill build fits the title more

[trail oar]

hello, new to Division 2, I was wondering if it make sense to spend time to improve crafting instead to simply level up and hope for a better drop ?

[inner tendon]

As you level up, everything below your current level is basically fodder now, so I'd honestly use the time while levelling to try out new stuff, different guns, gear, skills, etc.

[trail oar]

and once I reach the end game ? does it still make sens to do crafting ?

[inner tendon]

Oh sure once you hit Lvl cap (Gear Score if you don't own the DLC, Lvl 40 if you do own it) then Craft as much as you want.
However, the best stuff will still be found by looting enemies.

[lunar wadi]

Quick question, does the npc rogue agent appears in dz?

[willow gale]

no

[inner tendon]

the fastest way to get them for the Project is to either farm Summit or take over CP's.

they're +1 Group Size, keep that in mind.

[silent coral]

It's says 00710 with a type of circle inside and a pentagon with a tiny opening on top.

[inner tendon]

Oh that's your SHD level. No idea why it still says a Gear Score.

[silent coral]

Oh

Do I just have to level up my watch to get that higher?

[inner tendon]

what level are you again?

[silent coral]

24

My watch is at least

[inner tendon]

DM me a screenshot of your pause menu

[silent coral]

Alr lemme do something rq

[nimble spruce]

it's probably your commendation score

[inner tendon]

dw, all settled.

[nimble spruce]

...didn't check the timestamps

[inner tendon]

:p no worries, settled it though a PM.

[balmy ore]

what exotic component i am suppose to donate at projects ? i dont get any option to donate (ridgeways pride)

[nimble spruce]

what's the project for?

there's a few exotic projects that each require their own components (gunslinger, liberty, nemesis, regulus)

[inner tendon]

if it's just "an Exotic component", you need to check if you have 20/20 first in your Inventory, then if not go break down a junk Exotic you have.

[balmy ore]

i barely have few as i am new , so well i guess i gotta grind

[inner tendon]

Yeah Ridgeways is kinda intended for later on in the game. Just donate your first duplicate.

don't worry about it too much, after a while you'll be swimming in them.

[nimble spruce]

oh, I misunderstood the question. The generic 'exotic component' is what you get when you scrap any exotic

[balmy ore]

ohhhh alrght

[nimble spruce]

normally you use them to reroll other exotics

[spiral canopy]

hi guys.. I just killed my second hunter because I'm collecting masks and keys.. the second was Angel and he dropped the mask but not the key..

searched google and it seems quite common 😦 someone says missing keys appear on the box but I think I don't have that expansion, I don't even have the wall with masks on it

[oak talon]

it should appear at the box you open in the white house for the ivory keys. its the weapons crate if you head down the right hallway after entering the white house

the other ones with the dlc and newyork box are for the off white keys and the new york hunters

if its not there, try logging out and in once aswell

[spiral canopy]

wait.. I need the keys to open the weapon box..

how can the missing key be there?

[oak talon]

it will be in front of it on the floor for masks you have that for some reason, either didnt drop you a key, or when someone does not pick up the key by mistake

[spiral canopy]

oh you meant that sorry..

ok now I logged out but before I went to check and didn't see anything.. I'll check again tomorrow

thanks btw 👍

[oak hare]

Need help

If i have the hollow man mask in inventory can it drop in mask targeted loot areas?

[true siren]

nope

[oak hare]

@true siren why tho

[true siren]

because it is a dark zone exclusive

[spiral canopy]

same for exotics and other special gear?

not DZ?

[true siren]

depends on the gear

if gear is DZ exclusive, even owning it will not allow you to get it from LZ.

[silent coral]

Aspect may I ask something

[true siren]

i mean, this is the spot for it

[silent coral]

True

Uhh whats their name

Someone said to ask you about the backfire

[true siren]

Oh, backfire, of course.

What do you wanna know?

[silent coral]

Best set to counter the effects

If there is any?

[true siren]

There is no gearset to directly counter the bleed of backfire. But you can use a combination of brandsets to negate its effect entirely.

[silent coral]

Okay

[dusk iron]

dz items you can get from named item caches, so it is good to buy some during current global event. costs 8 stars per box i believe. That is of course if you are looking to get some, without farming in dz

[silent coral]

So I shouldn't have sold everything thing I have....

[true siren]

In the spreadsheet theres a build for the Backfire. Its not easy to farm, but it turns the Backfire into a capable weapon.

[silent coral]

I'm on the spread sheet where would I look for the build?

[true siren]

The hub tab.

[silent coral]

Alright

[willow gale]

fastest way to lv a spec?

[oak talon]

invasions first clear, daily bounties(the orange ones), cp's and dz, and just lvling

[supple bane]

what does the 3d electronics printer in haven do?

[grand nebula]

Gives you a trophy

[supple bane]

eh. wish it actually did something useful. like idk. printed electronics occasionally

[pulsar condor]

Anyone not able to progress in the WOFN manhunt ?

[narrow kraken]

Does difficulty affect rolls on exotics? I've noticed that it definitely does on regular guns, but I rarely come across bad rolls on exotics

Just want to know since I want to grind the summit but also not sweat my ass off. Also do directives affect rolls, or just XP?

Feel free to ping me if u respond c:

[foggy needle]

Difficulty effects rolls on all gear. Higher difficulty has higher on average rolls. Ie like
Hard 40-100%
Challenging 50-100%
heroic is like 60-100%

Directives don't effect rolls but they do effect target loot drop chance.

[narrow kraken]

I like to run challenging with 3 directives on and my rolls are usually pretty good, especially on exotics I get near max almost always

Thank you for the response :)

How about crafting? Is it possible to get a god roll or at least 2 attributes maxed by crafting an item?

[true siren]

possible- yes
probably- no

[oak talon]

to add, exotics dont use the same attribute scaling as normal gear for difficulty and are at all difficulty scaling like its heroic

so yes you would get good exotics still at challenging, but the rest will be better on heroic, and once you have somewhat of a build going, its worth making that jump to heroic

[narrow kraken]

Yeah I'm trying to optimize and perfect my build right now and once I get comfy enough with Challenging, I'll be sure to make that leap eventually

I returned after over a year of not playing and I used to play on normal, but a week or two later I hopped to Challenging

Considering that I think I'm doin alright

[oak talon]

oh definitely, take your time moving trough the difficulties at a pace you are comfortable with, and as you get better builds and better game knowledge it will be easier to make the jump up.

[narrow kraken]

Yeeee

Is there a certain blueprint/loot pool for certain weekly challenges and stuff?

They've all got different names so do they have item x for challenge y or a certain set of items for a challenge? I'm tryna get the 7.62 and 5.56 sturdy extended mags and I've been grinding control points for some time now and would like to know if it's just 100% RNG

[oak talon]

the general blueprint pool is just all the normal blueprints, so it can be a pain if you want a certain item, but they come from allot of sources nowadays aswell, so it shouldnt be too long before you have them all

so yeah, fully rng to be clearer

[narrow kraken]

So all the normal blueprints are in the control point loot pool? Is it the same pool with challenges/projects?

[oak talon]

yeah, they all use the same general blueprint pool

and then there are a few blueprints locked to the dh raid that are their own pool

[narrow kraken]

Ofc

So judging by my calculations (number of crafting blueprints-blueprints I already have), just 153 more control points and challenges to go. Lovely

[narrow kraken]

Every 5-6 control points I do, the enemies stop spawning during the defend/counter attack phase and the capture never completes, leaving the control point neutral. Is this common? Is there a fix?

I hope having this many questions isn't a bad thing, I just think this is much easier than digging through dozens of videos, especially if they're outdated

Do bounties and control points count a s "Activities" towards projects?

[scarlet knoll]

Sometimes the counter attack gets stuck. I usually fast travel somewhere nearby and walk back and it usually retriggers the counter. And yeah, pretty much everything counts as activities, even the random shooting ranges that pop up in areas

[oak talon]

you can fast travel out to a far spot to unload the bugged cp area and fast travel directly back unto the attack team, you will have to redo the defence though if its bugged at the end.

[narrow kraken]

Thank you very much c: both of u

how do i get my SHD level up fast???

[inner tendon]

First step: you grind the game until you hate it
step 2: then you come back here and complain how the game is too short/bad because you grinded it
step 3: yell at people then get booted from the discord.

[bronze berry]

Resource convoys on heroic world difficulty (or challenging if needed) with as many directives active as you can handle.

[zealous bloom]

thats so boringggggg but ok thank you

[spiral canopy]

so about the missing ivory key, I didn't find it on the ground near the weapon crate.. 😦

I wonder if I can do the hunter hunt again.. checked two fridges but still no lion eyes, maybe too soon

Yeah the Lions Eyes need the Daily Reset.

[spiral canopy]

[inner tendon]

@midnight osprey Maybe DM the Convex bot.

[midnight osprey]

Allright thanks

Hope the mods receive it fast

[inner tendon]

I'm sure someone will be able to tell you where it's supposed to go.

[narrow kraken]

does anyone know a fast way to get a lot of crafting materials?

[tulip matrix]

[narrow kraken]

@tulip matrix well, actually the control point solar farm seems to be much better to get a the resources Im looking for, but tnx for the idea 🙂

[supple bane]

Iirc you can open a ticket and the categorise it as a report for cheater/hacker

so for whc its at dcd hq. do i want to farm that for loot or should i do summit?

[spiral canopy]

do hex wrenches really exist in game? 😄

I know they do because I find one time and then sold.. now it's like two weeks since I can't find one 😦

[oak talon]

just skip that project if its taking you that long to run into one again

and at lvl 30 just dont sell trinkets, its barely any credits anyway

[spiral canopy]

yep lesson learned 😉

[supple bane]

for farming do i want to do a mission where the target is or do i want to do summit for it if it isnt lincoln memorial

[willow gale]

summit is more ideal but it gets kinda boring

atleast for me

i cant play summit for 3 hours

every looks to the same

[lavish onyx]

I can help with Hex wrench .. tomorrow

[supple bane]

mk. should i matchmake?

[willow gale]

can u handle leg?

[willow gale]

if u want to doesnt really matter

[supple bane]

i have a skill build that could probably handle legendary but idk about ppl i match with

[willow gale]

just dont matchmake

[supple bane]

i cant solo legendary

[willow gale]

then play heroic

farming solo is a little more efficent but it doesnt matter that much

[tiny granite]

@supple bane lol just matchmake

Some groups are good, some literally aren't ready, and some can absolutely steamroll through them. My advice is be careful if you see a group with people lower than shd level 200

[willow gale]

shd level does not matter

just check if they have a proper bulid

[tiny granite]

I have played an untold amount of legendaries and I can tell you without a doubt that people under 200 are more likely to be a hindrance than a good addition to the group

Nope even with actually good builds

They die a lot, think they are still playing Challenging or something and rush out, etc,.

[oak talon]

thats the player, not the level, ive seen just as many lvl 100- players suck in random matchmaking as lvl 2k+

[tiny granite]

Same but I would definitely have more faith in those lol

[oak talon]

plenty of low lvl players that go into random matchmaking with cautious play and trying to do their best harder than super "casual" 1k+ players

i have it the other way, a lvl 100 that plays badly may still learn to become better, a 2k that is an idiot is likely set in their way ,as they should have learned better by that point.

is there a best way to farm attachment blueprints or target farm them? Ive been trying to get the extended 556 mag but have no luck

[tulip fiber]

It’ll tell you on the right hand side of the blueprint. Most come from level 3&4 control points. Some from side missions.

[oak talon]

also the weekly invasion will give a blueprint per mission for the first time you clear it each week, and a bunch of projects will give them aswell

also summit challenges i believe

[supple bane]

for foundry bulwark is everything except the backpack and chest available outside the raid

[willow gale]

yes

[supple bane]

can i target it in summit

[willow gale]

yes

[jagged imp]

where do yall get the safety distance mpx

[inner tendon]

Targeted Loot: SMG. Stack Directives on.

[jagged imp]

stack directive?

on a mission?

[inner tendon]

no like, the more Directives you have active at a time, the higher your drop rate is for Targeted Loot.

[jagged imp]

oh ok

[inner tendon]

e.g. in Summit you can add 10 at once, that's the highest chance you can get.

[jagged imp]

oh ok

[onyx steppe]

Has anyone seen system corruption pieces drop in dz lately? Been farming for days, and not one single piece.

[noble iris]

whats cavs again?

[supple bane]

they just really rare

its best to farm when the targeted loot is a general piece like kneepads, backpack, gloves etc or farm for dz proficiency caches since those have a chance

[onyx steppe]

Thanks, I’ll just keep on farming then 🙂

[nimble spruce]

if you can get the legacy season caches from the season events, I think they have system corruption bits (I got one the other day, I think that's where it came from)

[onyx steppe]

👍

[oak talon]

yep, to confrim, sys cor will drop from legacy caches, but its offcourse pretty rng so dont get your hopes up to much.

[willow gale]

dark zone

[nimble spruce]

or named caches, if you're lucky

[graceful tapir]

Hey guys I am trying to follow a build online but he has a momento and a chameleon equipped. How do I do this?

[inner tendon]

You are able to equip a single Exotic Weapon and a single Exotic Gear piece at the same time.

[true siren]

1 of each, weapon and gear. Been that way since the start.

[graceful tapir]

not according to this build online

[inner tendon]

then that build is wrong

[graceful tapir]

oh wtf

maybe I just havent played this game in a long time

[inner tendon]

its been like that since launch

[true siren]

What do you mean "not according to this build"?

[inner tendon]

can i hazard a guess, Youtube vid right?

[graceful tapir]

wow my bad guys

all fixed now thanks for pointing that out

[oak talon]

im still curious what was even the thing anybody though was wrong in this whole discussion after reading it several times, he stated its a build with memento and chameleon, and then it went of the tracks with something being wrong?

[inner tendon]

long story short: the guide told them that they weren't able to equip an exotic weapon and gear piece at the same time.

[silk glen]

Isn't there an exotic desert eagle? I got a part from the capitol building and I don't know what it is for

[true siren]

Liberty

[silk glen]

It said it was a trigger and something else

Where are the other parts

[true siren]

Capitol, air and space, viewpoint, s.. i forgot the last spot

Its CAVS

Run any truesons mission (non invaded) that starts with an S, you'll get the last part eventually

[silk glen]

Ok

[oak talon]

space admin

[true siren]

^ that

[scarlet knoll]

Are shepherd levels static after the first? Like lvl 1 is 0/15 and level 2 is 0/7, are all of them after 2 0/7?

[oak talon]

yes, only the first has a higher req of 15, all the rest is 7

[scarlet knoll]

So…. 290 endorsements for lvl 25. Geeeeeeez

[oak talon]

thats just to make sure that it takes a bit to reach lvl 1, as at sheppard 1 you gain access to helping people at lower lvls

its takes some doing yeah

[scarlet knoll]

Good thing I have 9 weeks I guess

[exotic olive]

Ayo why is M1A so praised?

[oak talon]

there are ways of cheesing it aswell, but they require someone willing to give up some time, otherwise make sure to be on when each new manhunt comes online, as then there are allot of people that will just use call for backup as a way to matchmake the cp's

[stiff cedar]

is there even any point to the shepherd levels?

[oak talon]

because its the easiest rifle to use, and its decent in all stats

[scarlet knoll]

Feel bad answering a call to someone that’s generally needs help and then leaving them after endorsement because you can’t gain levels shepherding the same dude.

[stiff cedar]

other than looking cool the next time you respond to one?

[scarlet knoll]

I just want the commendations because I’m OCD

[stiff cedar]

fair enough

also responding to backups has a cooldown.. you have to wait a bit before the next one

[oak talon]

yeah, its the commendation, and helping people can be fun on its own

[stiff cedar]

so may as well stick around during that time if you really feel bad about it. not sure how long it is though

[scarlet knoll]

Yeah, if someone is nice and generally appreciative I usually forgo my own needs and hang out with them as long as they’re doing something

It also feels good to be the carry instead of being the moron that needs revived every two minutes.

[noble iris]

lol

[spiral canopy]

the opposite is worst btw

you respond to the call, fix a problem and they kick you out immediately after

[scarlet knoll]

I’ve never been kicked, but I have had two guys that were clearly friends talking shit about me like I wasn’t there. “See if (name) or (name) is on to replace this guy.” “They aren’t, so we’ll just deal with him.” That sort of stuff

[jagged imp]

components are farmed where again?

tryna donate to a project

it says components, then receiver components

[scarlet knoll]

I think they mean those cases with the gear symbol on the map.

[narrow kraken]

how do i change messaging settings in ubisoft connect

i need help baaad

[oak talon]

components are from the crates in the world, there are sites marked on the map if you zoom in with the same icon that will have a concentration of it, receiver components and protective fabrics are from deconstructing guns and gears

[oak talon]

is it the chat filling up with people without messages? if so then there are many that have that same issue and i do not think there is a way to turn it off yet.

[jagged imp]

ty

[narrow kraken]

yeah it says '' chat disabled for non-friends''

and i dont know to turn it off

[spiral canopy]

they should players you met in game

[jagged imp]

skill damage wouldnt matter for a firewall pyro build right?

using the shield

[oak talon]

yeah, its people you have matchmade with, as a recently played with list thing, but it probably shouldnt notify you like it does , i think they just borked something in the last update to ubi connect, it will probably be fixed soon-ish, sofar i havent seen anyone come up with a way to fix it ourselfves

[noble iris]

status effect

[jagged imp]

yea ik status matters im just recalibrating my armor

[noble iris]

i think skill damage does stuff, im not too sure tho

[jagged imp]

i use firestarter chem launcher

yea i dont think it matters

crit dmg headshot dmg or health?

maybe headshot

[oak talon]

for status effect skills, status effect the attribute add dmg and duration, and skill dmg only adds dmg

i actually dont know though what the firewall flamethrower scales with though

[jagged imp]

yea the chem launcher doesnt do dmg and my shield obv doesnt either

suprisingly i dont even use the flamethrower that much tbh

just pyromaniac and pistol to light up the chem cloud

[oak talon]

you can double tap the button its on to ignite it

[jagged imp]

really?

[oak talon]

once the cloud is deployed

[jagged imp]

sheeeee

[noble iris]

i was thiunking, eclipse protocol witch chem lauincher and firewall shield?

[jagged imp]

thats what im using

[noble iris]

yeah

max skill tier so big shield

[oak talon]

in your case for the firechem, skill dmg would add dmg to the fire, but get status first as that adds dmg and duration

[noble iris]

anyone know the best way to get a D50 pistol?

[jagged imp]

my options is limited but i got status as much as i could already

[oak talon]

stack haste as second stats and mods, but if you have to have a piece that has skl dmg then its still doing something.

[jagged imp]

hmm i dont really have an issue when it comes to chem launcher ammo recharging which is why i didnt recalibrate for any of that or slot in some mods

[oak talon]

also consider dropping the shield for a actual skill that can cc, shield isnt really usefull for EP

[jagged imp]

yikes idk id die alot more

[oak talon]

farm targeted pistols, either if its on the world/mission, or go to summit and target it there

[oak talon]

are you solo or in groups?

or bit of both?

[jagged imp]

bit of both

[oak talon]

with groups go with survivalist for the team bonus and get a second skill like stinger hive, shock trap or blinder firefly, it will make you allot more effective, solo stay firewall for the burn duration and put a drone or turret there to defend yourself with.

all those skills i meant alongside some form of fire

[jagged imp]

i dont really enjoy survivalist tho

[oak talon]

the group bonus of 10% to status affected enemies is very powerful, and its fire grenade can be usefull for area denial, and the crossbow can 1hit break the armour on black tusk heavies and dogs

[noble iris]

i dropped a godrolled rpk or something

kinda cool

ill reconfigure the talent to something useful

[jagged imp]

i'll do a survivalist build later but i probably wont even use it since i wont enjoy it anyway

probably for a raid or something if i even care to do one

[spice sorrel]

Is the summit a good place to farm for targeted exotics?

[tulip matrix]

yeh most of the time

[spice sorrel]

Wb gear sets?

I'm trying to get future initiative chest piece and backpack and they won't drop

[twilit otter]

They drop in Iron Horse only along with Foundry chest and backpack

[spice sorrel]

Bruh

Thankd

Can the mantis and nemesis drop from the summit?

I'm playing on heroic rn

[true siren]

yes

Well

Yes and no

Mantis yes, nemesis no

[spice sorrel]

Where does nemesis drop?

[true siren]

a multi-week quest, starts in Tidal basin in a secret room

Then you do the 3 invaded strongholds for pieces

Then finish out with grand washington hotel's first boss, who drops the blueprint

[spice sorrel]

Quick question, is it better to do discovery for raids or normal

For more loot

[true siren]

Discovery has matchmaking, but you cannot get the raid exclusive items from discovery raids.

...So normal.

[stiff cedar]

yeah what he said

also aspect is there any unlock similar to the nemesis that you know of that I should be working on?

wanna make sure I don't find out about something and have to spend another 4-5 weeks on it

[true siren]

regulus

Chatterbox if your rng is doodoo

[stiff cedar]

alright thanks

[true siren]

if you've got any more questions, dont be afraid to ask. Or do be afraid, idc

[stiff cedar]

that's so passive aggressive I might just decide to never ask another question again

not that you'll care of course

that is also satire please do not hurt me

[true siren]

98% of things i say are thinly veiled satire

[stiff cedar]

enough to fool the undiscerning eye

[spice sorrel]

Is the chest plate and bag a raid only drop so I need to do normal right?

[true siren]

Chest and bag of Foundry Bulwark and Future Initiative are both exclusive to Iron Horse.

Since the exclusive items dont drop on discovery... i'll let you figure that one out, champ.

[spice sorrel]

;-;

[jovial badge]

is there any exotic or idk that remove shield and you only play with health ?

[true siren]

Nope

If you want to just play with health you can always let it get shot off and then keep going, but you'll be squishy as fuck

[jovial badge]

oh interesting

thanks

[true siren]

You could go with system corruption, which replaces your armornkit with a cooldown based bonus armor-giving kit, but its not good and its hard to get

[jovial badge]

yeah so nothing fun to play haha

[tawny ore]

Do u get rewards lvling up after 40?

[oak talon]

once you reach the point where you have SHD levels, you will start first earning 100 levels of the season, and afterwards you will get a field proficiency cache every level once lvl 100 in season

[tawny ore]

ooof so many things to do… ty!!

[dull pasture]

are rifle dps builds useful outside of raid?

I'm setting up a full red glass cannon build and getting decent numbers, but I worry that I'm investing into something too niche

[foggy needle]

Rifle dps builds are meta, even outside raid (it's the same build for AR and lmg too)

[dull pasture]

Even the perfect focus variant?

I don't have decent providence pieces but I do have a good pristine example

[foggy needle]

Yup, same answer. Focus is amazing if you can stomach that 24/7 scope 🤢

[noble iris]

do i need to do cavs in order for liberty?

[true siren]

yes

[noble iris]

sadness

[true siren]

its just 4 missions

[noble iris]

yeah

[true siren]

You probably already have a part or two, check resources

[noble iris]

no sadly i dont

also, what project dop io need for the oterh pistol?

it says finish iron horse, which i did, and then do projhects. but i only see bulwark and future initiative ones

[twilit otter]

You have to finish those projects, then 2 more projects come up that you have to donate gear for and the regulus project comes next. For regulus you have to get 5 parts which are dropped by IH bosses, the 5th part is in the chest you open at the end of the raid

[tacit lark]

have there been any big updates since the release of iron horse stopped playing a few days after?

[hollow latch]

I’m in ps5 and I’m looking for a active clan where people are on all the time

[nimble spruce]

#clan-recruitment-ps4

[narrow kraken]

does anyone know how often the targeted loot on the map rotes/changes?

[stiff cedar]

daily. you can see the timer when you're viewing loot allocations on the map

[narrow kraken]

ahh ok, tnx

[supple bane]

what does stealing a dz drop give you over claiming it?

[exotic olive]

ayo are %s accurate? cos it feels like theyre wrong in practice...
ie. 56% crit chance yet it seems only 1/4 hits is a crit
50% chance for a crit to return to the magazine yet it seems only 1/4 do..

[foggy needle]

yes they are accurate. remember they are %s and RNG based.

[exotic olive]

but like............ shouldnt 56% crits be 2/4 shots...

[foggy needle]

10 hits in a row with zero crits followed by 10 crits in a row still = 50% chc.

[exotic olive]

i suppose...

ill go check in the shooting range again

[grand nebula]

Unlesd youre unloading 1000 rounds or more whatever you see is irrelevant

[true siren]

Sample size is too small

[exotic olive]

if the RNG is set to be 50% of 1000 shots meaning the first 500 might not be crits and then all crits
combined with the fact that the RNG probably resets when entering in and out of combat so the previous built up crit pool gets deleted and youre once again back to 500 shots that may not crit, meaning in this scenario you go 1000 shots no crit before getting 500 crits

you see how large samples are meaningless?

[foggy needle]

RNG doesn’t reset…..

[exotic olive]

are u sure tho

[foggy needle]

yes

because the game was confirmed to not have any "weights."

[knotty merlin]

Is that lords of Manhattan dlc any good?

[exotic olive]

in most games probability is altered ie. the more shots you take that arent crits increases the % of the next one being a crit

so in theory if set to 100 at 50% crit chance, your % would increase 10 shots (next one 60%) 20 shots (next one 70%) up to 50 shots where the next shot is 100% guaranteed to be a crit

and then the 52nd shot is 99% likely to be a crit etc..

[foggy needle]

That is called “weighted system” and most games do not have that FYI.

[exotic olive]

🤔 i see

i dont remember i know of 2 games i used to play that have that system but i dont remember which ones, i dont think warframe was one of em

[true siren]

When the game says "you have a 60% chance to crit", it means 60% of the time you will crit

Warframe was not, it doesnt have weighted systems like that.

[exotic olive]

of the time but what? in 1000 shots? 100? 1 milion?

[true siren]

Every shot.

Do i seriously have to explain probablility

[exotic olive]

nah i get it

but its confusing cos whenever i look back at the recording, on average theres 1 red for every 2 blues...

which is only 33% cc

[foggy needle]

Again, sample size plays a BIG part in %’s.

[exotic olive]

i will record it again in a sample of 1000 shots...

[true siren]

1 mag is not a good sample size. Better off looking at thousands upon thousands of shots, if you wanna actually test this

[exotic olive]

because it looks to be too rare.

[foggy needle]

IE: you could have 1000 shots in a row that don’t crit, followed by 1000 that do, and that still = 50% chance.

[true siren]

Or you could be, y'know, normal and take it as it is

[exotic olive]

nej we must get justice

[foggy needle]

It sounds like you don’t fully understand probability. If you want to know more in depth there are videos on youtube that can it explain it much better then I can :D.

[exotic olive]

i know what probability is
and its why i like weighted systems

Shit you know whats a really simple and straightforward example... Dead Frontier 1 3D

[foggy needle]

Knowing what probability Is and understanding it are 2 very different things.

[tulip matrix]

Any maths teacher will tell you that

[exotic olive]

theres a 90% crit chance cap but its split for each wep type that guarantees which shot will be a crit
ie for example rifles have a cap of 80% CC when your stats are maxed in CC
and every 5th shot will not be a crit

[true siren]

thats wrong as hell

[tulip matrix]

yeh ^

[foggy needle]

Also, you do know that weighted systems Make probability More complex right??

[foggy needle]

hehehe

[exotic olive]

its not, its a different system

[true siren]

oh my god

You have GOT to be trolling

Theres no way

[exotic olive]

you dont get what i mean

[true siren]

Alright, tell me.

If you say that crit chance can go beyond 60 percent, i'm gonna tell you that you are wrong.

[foggy needle]

That is an example of a weighted system, which is much much much more complex then just a normal crit system (ie like what Div 2 has).

[exotic olive]

Chances are based of each weapons description

[true siren]

Nope. 60% max

[tulip matrix]

I don't understand weighted systems, but even I know that you could play div 2 for 100hours and never crit

[exotic olive]

ie. an M24 has a High Crit chance
meaning when your stats are capped 3/5 shots will crit then 2 wont

[true siren]

Thats not how that works, either

[exotic olive]

whereas something like an M1 garand has Very High Crit Chance

[true siren]

Still not right

[exotic olive]

dont fucking tell me how a game you dont even know exists works -_-

im looking up the part of the wiki explaining literally that

[true siren]

Are we not talking about division 2 here? If we arent, why are we event talking about it?

[tulip matrix]

no your wrong, the weapon has nothing to do with Crit chance, it's the mods and the stats I swear?

[exotic olive]

#ask-td2-community message

[true siren]

Why the fuck are we talking about that?

[exotic olive]

heres the simplest chart

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/194389199305179138/859101446246891560/unknown.png

[true siren]

Regardless, thats not how div2 works. Every shot is its own seperate roll, theres no rigging that happens.

[tulip matrix]

@foggy needle Gave up on life

[true siren]

same

[foggy needle]

Lol I had to stop.

[oak talon]

@exotic olive just as i think you dont understand, everyone here understands weighted systems, crithitchance in div 2 just isnt weighted at all, there are other systems like that in div 2 for skillhaste and reload, but chance has been confirmed just a probability trough rng even at the code lvl from trusted sources that have been trough it all.

[scarlet knoll]

How come nobody pointed out to him that red is headshots and blue is armor shots and neither of those are criticals?

[exotic olive]

noone said anything bout headshots

unless i accidentally said red instead of orange that is a force of habbit from warframe

[scarlet knoll]

🦊Hi_im_Argo🍑 — Today at 10:47 AM
nah i get it
[10:47 AM]
but its confusing cos whenever i look back at the recording, on average theres 1 red for every 2 blues...

[exotic olive]

yea force a habbit

[true siren]

Habit

[exotic olive]

no the bunny rabbit kind

[true siren]

thats rabbit

Anyways its force of habit

[scarlet knoll]

Isn't a nun's hat a habbit? Or is that just one B as well?

[oak talon]

theyre taking the habbits to isengard?

[exotic olive]

hobbit

[true siren]

fuck off

[exotic olive]

xD

[silk glen]

Do you have to have Wony to play summit?

[ivory sundial]

Yes

[silk glen]

Fuck

Thanks

[willow gale]

aspect prefers his discord name

ik hes a hobbit but repsect the mods

[exotic olive]

He is?

Where'd that come from

[willow gale]

its cuz hes short

[exotic olive]

Lmfao

[true siren]

fuck off

[spice sorrel]

Hey guys I saw you talk about the M1A and how it's good, which M1A is good as there are a few variants of it

[grand nebula]

Classic is most popular, cqb is good in a way too

[inner tendon]

Classic has the most damage (but not by much), etc. Basically all 3 are almost even so just use which one you enjoy.
I personally like Socom the best as its a balance.

[spice sorrel]

Ok thanks

[noble iris]

do i need tto have a D50 equiped to get the liberty components?

[nimble spruce]

no but you need one to hand in for the project once you have them all

[noble iris]

i see

[true siren]

if you arent getting the components, look in your rescources for any exotic parts.

also has to be in order, and hard & above

[noble iris]

capitol hill isntt invaded rightr?

[true siren]

even if it is

[noble iris]

it only drops on non-invaded

[true siren]

you can switch it off

but seriously the amount of people that say "why am i not getting anything from the roof boss in capitol hill" & i have to say "do you already have that part?" is staggering

[noble iris]

thing is

i dont have that part

[true siren]

then this

[noble iris]

i know what my problem is. i tried doing the missions in invade mode before, sot ahts why it never worked

[noble iris]

finally got it

[true siren]

ggs

[stiff cedar]

is there any reason I can't open the secret weapon case in tidal basin?

[prisma whale]

Secret Weapon case?
