EB 🙏
i give it two weeks till the divorce
Imagine they nerf it again and odder just cheats on EB for rav
If they nerf I quit
Leave the rav out of it😭
regulous 1 shot
they nerf eb again and its worthless . its already been nerfed into the ground .
Which is the best way for getting a good assault rifle? I got black market AKM with 18K but I need better.
farm assualt rifle taregted loot
in where?
Look for a famas
If not at Lincoln Memorial, open world, or Summit is best.
The ones with base mag size 33 and 25, forgot which names. the one with 19 mag size is ONLY good with unwavering talent
the 19 (tac 9mm) and 25 (0.45) are the good ones in my book, the 33 (9mm) has nothing on them except on beating them on dmg per mag, and for the 45 its barely
the 19 tac is great for what the vectors are only good at, super burst
but all of them are poor too ammo hungry for pve
some remember when we are using the Decoy skill? appears an hologram of agent that using a dark green shirt?
this apparel only appears on the trailer?
Id have to see the shirt but I think its not an apparel you can get
How much armor does a Challenging freeroam Rogue Agent have?
few million, no exact number
anyone know the drop chance of Future Initiative in the raid?
ok so maybe I'm wrong about the named backpack matador ....but I farmed DZ west pretty much all day (back pack targeted loot) taking down challenging and heroic landmarks and not a single one dropped .....leveld up like 70 shade levels just doing DZ landmarks.....does that backpack not drop DZ exclusive anymore ????
im assuming the same thing has happeend to me all comes down to drop chance
ah just great
hmmm ok I will keep farming
nope
rng is rng
pain
Did the dodge city holsters get changed? My talents look very different in comparison to what i see online
Does anyone know if you can disable a mission that is being replayed? I accidentally started a mission into replay mode but I need to get into the mission area to grab collectibles but I don't want to have to do the entire mission.
You're probably looking at a very old version of it.
yet another reason why using any guide but the one found in #td2-build-advice is a bad idea.
question, can you optimise stats and THEN extract them? ie grinding everything instead of waiting for god rolls
stupid q probably
you cannot
devs were 1 step ahead there
What uniform of UBCS looks better? Original or Remake, because I was trying to make a cosplay for my agent
thats up to you
What that means?
It means there is no answer to that question
but why male models?
yeah literally just a bug.
I mean is there anything that causes the bug? maybe something like bonus armor or unbreakable?
or does it just bug out
I don't recall there being any definitive reasons, but I've heard it has to do with fast travelling.
why kenly chapel is locked?
i have completed the kenly college but every time i teleport to white house, isac says "Agent, pilot Torres is cleared for transpo to Kenley College" how can i stop? this is so annoying
asked the same two days ago, seems it's normal even if it's not really
hey guys a question about hunters and keys.. I was playing without WONY and triggered 4 hunters but one of them didn't drop a key, it was Angel..
now I bought WONY, went to new york and find the Angel mask on the wall.. I thought hunters were different from DC to NY.. anyway still no key for the NY cache..
I checked often if the key was on the ground in DC but now more then a week passed already and I don't think it will show up.. I also tried to check for lion eyes but they are not there anymore..
I'll never be able to open that cache, am I right?
so, my frined has the entire sharpshooter skill tree upgraded but he doesnt have the pistol in his inventory. anyone know why? or how to fix this?
its in his stash...?
i would try to reset the pistol element maybe
we armani 😉
ok so i only just noticed this and correct me if im wrong but when looking at gear attributes the little arrows on the roll level does that point to your max % of the skill you have in your library and then the orange arrow means you've maxed that stat in the library???
Yes
Which is also explained in the guide pinned here xd
Along with the owned talent symbol
well as seen in my question i havent read the guide haha
skill duration affects status effect right?
no
nope
damn
foam is a status
i see
how do i farm recal matt blueprints?
also. whats the difference https://i.imgur.com/T4QvGMa.png
none
for mods that go to gadgets you could have btw two different mods for two different spots with the same effect..
indeed
is there a way to sort mods by the quality like say i have a 6% chc, 5.4% and a 3.8 % it would appear in order of worst to best
nope
welcome to half of your playtime now.
filter what? i have like 10 hsd mods and need to keep scrolling up and down to compare
if you filter them you can see where you have more then one and scrap what you don't need
you filter them by effects
ik. but i still have 10 hsd so i need to scroll up and down
thats why im sorting them
I don't know if you tried already but there's the option to sort by if you go to inventory / mods box
it's the X on PC
i don't know but that's a filter not a sorting
what effect should be first? or last? based on what?
The amount of the wffect they give
Say i have a 11.3% mod, 5.8% and 6.7% it would sort them highest to lowest
i never had 10 of the same kind but when I do the filter thing is already like that
of course of the same effect, otherwisde you need to spend some time 😉
how do weapon mods work? are they consumable?
nope and they are in common, you can use in multiple weapons, scrap the weapons and you still have the mods available
ok thank you!
in summit i just saw a convoy warhound for some reason. any idea why?
That's just a Warhound, not a Convoy.
They're a semi-regular BT unit.
they are extra loot if you kill them quickly, they will try to escape as soon as the fighting starts
they will also drop special ammo on death
that too
welp. it left as soon as i saw it
what's a good way to dump protective fabric and receiver components? i seem to keep maxing out
you only have a few seconds once fighting starts, they will first hunker down for 2-3 seconds and then hoof it to a exit, what you can do is disable them with a jammer pulse or tech grenade, or just have the dps to kill em quick
Basically, look at your recal table and see what you need to make your stuff better. I'm sure you'll start using them fast enough.
the weekly shd project uses a bunch, and offcourse crafting, but more than any other recourse, those 2 are the easiest to get, so most people are just full up on them most of the time
ok thanks guys, yeah was just wondering if im wasting it by being capped
how does one unlock different types of grenades?
some are locked to Spec Trees, most are just ingame as you level.
you access them by Inventory > then picking which one you want.
is the manhunt thing seasonal? seems awesome, basically like another wony
"concealed agenda"
Yes, it's a rerun of season 3, each season has a different manhunt
this game has so many things to do man. i am SWEATIN
How do I get a bunch of crit chance?
recalibrateeeeeee
does anyone know if any of the venders are selling backpacks with adredaline rust talent??
https://rubenalamina.mx/the-division-weekly-vendor-reset/ ctrl f in there for yourself
In the mentioned spreadsheet in the pins, what does the LZ mean?
In drop location next to the DZ, I know that's dark zone
It's a slang term for "not dark zone" basically.
"light zone", yeah kinda lame but it makes sense if you squint.
So LZ means they drop Form targeted loot?
Sure, also means they can drop from anywhere outside of that too, just more likely.
It just means it can drop outside of the DZ
ive seen a yideo where they had the effect that you restore x% of your shield while active every y seconds, but i cant fanind the video again, can you tell me where you get that from so i dont have to look through the whole spreadsheet since im level 29 noob still but wann aprepare for a build later on
Don't try farming for gear until you're Lvl 40. What ever gear you try and get now will be no real use later
no, i dont wanna farm it now, i jsut wanna know what exactly im going to farm once im 40
Honestly, I don't know what is is you're asking for. Was it a talent or a gear set?
its one of the skill called artificier hive.
That's the special skill for the Technician Specialization
but it's also a common mod for the shield called active regeneration, isn't it?
Active Regeneration, yeah
by common I mean no need for TS
does someone know if the guy running with a huge backpack and waving at you while shooting with a pistol a shot is some sort of ester egg?
he says somethinbg like I stole all your shit
The guy with the backpack was known with the xmas elf and they just kinda left him in game for a time to time surprise
At Xmas time he gives a special weapon
Obligatory: just the ones with the santa hat, the backpack weirdos are here all year round.
oh I got it thank you both 😉
nw, actually the minor factions in div2 are fascinating.
Anytime your near a sewer he might pop out
yea they all love sewer in TD2
like the Scav's in the DZ.
by any chance did he give you an smg called the sleigher
YUP
oh so that's where that came from
I've had a level 30 one with literally 0 on all rolls sitting in my stash
it was meant to just be a chiristmas meme weapon, but kinda stuck around.
Only way to get it
nope never.. I got the blueprint for that weapon with field research if I recall correctly
oh wait
all good, yeah they dont drop weapon BPs.
then it's a different weapon with siomilar name.. LMG?
Afternoon Rivens
if they had a santa hat on, it was (probs) the Sleigher, if not then could be anything really.
morning Saph.
i always get confused between Scavs and Underground, im pretty sure backpack ppls are Underground tho.
Oh don't forget the chainsaw dude
hey saph how are you doing today
Very sir and yourself
all good too ^^
I get to goto work in 30 mins
Test driving cars
Hey Eph and Rivens have you re-download all the rewards from uplay
They added some new stuff
neat, thanks Saph. I'll reinstall and take a look.
do you happen to know whats new?
for the striker shield, can u use only the flamethrower or also other weapons like with the crussader?
Striker is basically a better version of Crusader, identical apart from the damage buff.
thats cool cause im am not sure wether i wanna go tanky with the gunner for repair on kill, with the engeneer for healing the shield or with the upgraded shield ^^
If you wanna go tank do you have your bukwark
generally speaking, Striker shield is used for DPS with a couple of blue cores too. The buff is great and makes up for lossed Reds.
and do these exotics always have the 2 minors? ive senn a build where he had all 3 things listed there but in another video the person only had the red one
ah i cant send the pic for that ^^
the item is the momento with all 3 cores listed
minors? oh attributes? Yeah Exotics always have the same stats, just different %'s
Memento is unique.
unique in what way?
and no minor attributes
and if i kill another enemie in the 10 secs the buff is active for bonus armor does another pickup stack up or does that refresh the timer of the 10 sec buff?
they stack
dope, that build ive seen with it and true patriot looks cool
can i reg the bonus armor with evelines guard too till the duration runs out or is that not repairable?
Momento gives you two buffs. A permanent buffs that stacks up to 30 times and a temporary buff based on your core attributes
And no Emiline's Guard does not keep the bonus armour you receive from Momento. Emiline's Guard gives you bonus armour on kill where Momento gives you bonus armour from picking up your kill trophies
yeah but while i have 50% temporary overshields form that cna i repair the overshieds with the evelines gurad? and do evelines and the gunner 10% passive stack up to
22 percent
Emiline's Guard does not affect your bonus armour from Momento
and for momento i would farm targeted loot for backpacks?
It's a Season Track reward
but ive seen its season 3 and afterwards ive seen season 4 in a video
yes
but it's also this season's reward
so just farm to level 90
ah allright, how long is that season and how long does it take to get lv90? and od i need to buy a bonus battlepass?
I only play about 3 hours a night and I hit level 100 just a few days after the second target was released. That was this past week. We still have the 2 week global event and 2 more targets. So you have plants of time
i still need to do the dlc with my friends too tho ^^ hope im not late
All game play counts for your season level
and i get it directly with maxed stats and dont have to grund multiple to get the most efficient?
oh cool, i havent seen a seson anywhere ingame yet
so once i hit 40 i can get all the rewards already?
Once you get to level forty, you’ll start the season from the beginning. So the manhunt that are available can be done, however, you’ll need to start from season level 1.
You have plenty of time. At least 3 more months
oh, allright, ithought its the 2 weeks
all this requires season pass or something?
no you just need to get to level 40
the season pass gives you some bonus rewards like caches and cosmetics
The only bonus from the paid pass is extra crafting caches, faction keys for lock boxes and an extra exotic caches at the end
uhm.. so the 8 missions Fall of the DC from where come from?
I'm reading from the store the content of year 1 bundle
Yeah, year 1. However, the premium pass can be purchased separately in the store. Which will give you the extras as mentioned above. If you purchase the premium pass at any point during the season, you’ll get the rewards up to that point.
yea this system of dlc season pass year 1 definitive edition is already annoying to me 😄
Yeah, when I bought the game it was $3, and I just paid for the DLC separate.
same as me, just the bse game and then today the dlc
I got all my gear fine and then I went to NY and got to use a blue weapon instead of my exotic!!!!
Keep the exotics, because you should be able to upgrade them to level 40 when done with NY
yep of course.. it seems it doesn't let you upgrde to mid levels like 34 or 36 but yea I stored them
Better to do it all at once anyway though
for running healer, why don't most builds run revive hive?
because usually the dps players have them
and you can just reset them at need with btsu gloves
you can? how does the BTSU gloves work exactly? I have them and used them a few times but don't know how
When you break your hive, you overcharge skills, if at tier 6, and reset hives for teammates. It can only be done once every 2 minutes.
on lady death did it not use to be speed buff on melee kill?
if you used it accidentally then you must be running future perfection talent on gun
I'm sorry what?
future perfection causes overcharge if your skill tier is lvl 6
is FP from the gloves or?
weapon talent
wait so I'm confused. im just trying to understand how btsu gloves work
but people dont use it cuz you need a kill while your damage output is low and also because you dont accidentally wanna overcharge when your team needs it
there are 2 ways to overcharge in game, fp or btsu
oh i know about overcharge, i just dont know how to use thr btsu properly
doesn't that get rid of all your charges though? i only used the revive hive in summit since no one else does
Theres more
It does, but overcharge sends allies skills into overcharge as well (if you are skill tier 6) which regenerates your hive quickly
which one
Energize on backpack, acosta's
Wait is energize a backpack talent?
Well, energize regardless.
It overcharges, i know for a fact
how tho
does it overcharge in general? i thought they have to be at tier 6 for everyone else too.
as in say im tier 6, someone's tier 1, and i destroy my hive
i know acosta when you use a grenade, it doesn't consume it and overcharges but it has a cooldown
It'll overcharge you whole team, regardless of skill tier, IF you are tier6
Grenade damage
got it. figured I wanna be tier 6 if running healer anyways(dont have a build yet)
future perfection build then
also dumb question but skill damage doesn't affect healing right
yea
?????????????????
how the fuck is that regardless of skill tier if you need skill tier 6
regardless of your team’s skill tier maybe
@ornate juniper He means it will overcharge even if they are skill tier 0,1,2, etc.
ah fair
Same thing happens in pvp
Except instead of overcharging, everybody gets bumped up to skill tier 6
read again
does future initiative stack if u have multiple people running it?
Obligatory: Coyotes doesn't actually stack, however different people can "share" each different type of buff.
(e.g. one person gives the first, another the 2nd, 3rd a 3rd.)
ah so you can have all 3 different buffs simultaneously but not the same one multiple times?
As long as 3 ppl on your team are using it (and they're all proccing different buffs): yes!
Which is why it's so common in Raids.
last question, is there like an update google sheets or excel or something that has all the equipment pieces and brand sets and weapons? i remember there used to be one before Wony but im not sure if that one has been updated
actually yes! It's pinned in #td2-build-advice
thats huge
it is genuinely the only one you'll ever need, anything that's not on there can be answered on this Discord.
oh and there's a bunch of builds there too you can try out. Under "Hub".
this is actually gonna be a life saver thank you so much
you're welcome! Make sure you thank the ppl who made the thing too, it's basically the div2 Bible.
EPH is working on an awesome one
can you still save checkpoints in summit on another character
depends are summit checkpoints Character side or Account side ?
Regarding the season stuff leveling is that bount to the account or each character? Could I make a pre leveled char for the dlc and start with the farm and then continue once my main char reached 40?
You need to be max level to access the Season Pass stuff.
So Lvl 40 in your case. (and have finished the WONY campaign)
But is it for all lv 40 chars?
Season Pass tracking is account-wide.
Dope, then I start leveling up another char to unlock stuff and I think on lv 40 I can share resources and blueprints to the other one just as if I have unlocked them there too right?
uh it's been way too long since ive done anything like that, can't 100% confirm it, but it sounds about right.
just remember: you have to actually complete the WONY compaign in full to access the Season Pass.
If you buy the share blueprint at Inaya, on the secondary character I think.
How I can enable gear mods in new york? I can't use my gear mods.
Literally every single thing (Except for Exotics) that you looted before NYC is trash anyway, so dw about it.
mods, guns, armour.
Dead, gone, goneski, gone to meet their maker, pushing up daisies, nailed to the perch.
ded.
Will I be able to use it when I back to washington?
You’ll use level 40 gear when you complete NY
why will you use low end gear when you are lvl 40
true, i didn't think about that
Do Contractors gloves apply to skills too? (Damage to armour)
some of them
Hiya, when modding SMG, and I have to choose between weapon handling, stability and accuracy, which one works best for SMG's?
The stat called "damage to target out of cover" (mostly just called "dtooc") is your best choice there 90% of the time.
is there a mod for that stat? I haven't unlocked all weapon mods yet so I have no idea
the weapon mods slots are usually reserved for the 20mag, and full crit
shall i play through world tiers? or head to the dlc with my frineds? after hitting lv30 and doing all missions. do i unlock targeted loot after new york?
you can get some accuracy aswell but usually handling wont be too benefitian in smal amounts
for SMGs atleast
yes go through the World Tiers at least once, the story is great.
but jsut for the story?
do i have a benefit of doing them when i get to lv40 anyways afterwards?
If the idea is that bad to you, skip them and come complain here later that the game doesn't have enough content.
lvl40 has no world tiers
Thanks Eph, you made me realize I can adjust my equipment mods to get crit from weapon mods. There's just so many ways to adjust gear in this game!
do them once for story purposes
yea usually youl want crit chance, but sometimes crit dmage weapon mods are used
yo you are one of the main people the write the build guides yea? if its not to much to ask could you help me figure out evernote
tryna write a in depth dumbed down guide for one of my friends
sure, what do you need?
is the build guides on a special format or just custom made
well its ''custom'' in a sence
theres no special format to it
just some title font, screenshots and bold/underscored text
dope cause i want to make it look nice and professional like youve done
so i thought id ask the master himself
yea it should be up in the options
when im feeling lazy il copy one of my own and alter it instead of writing it fresh
haha i mean if you're the owner of the doc thats understandable
alright thanks heaps!
hey guys >I just reached level 40 and was curious to finally check how optimization works and if worths it (I read a few of you says that it doesn't) but I have nor alloies nor weaves!
LOL does it mean all the gears and weapons I scraped until now were useless for those?
I received them, I'm pretty sure by the scrap report you check everytime
and another question about the manhunt.. I see the first rogue is ended but from the season menu I'm still able to do it.. it only means I'll not receive the cache and special rewards? I'm talking about shade
from the current manhunt you can do the unlocked rogues at any time, you don't miss out on anything by doing them now instead of when they first released
only thing to note when they become available is you get double xp up to 15 levels that week, but that's xp from any source, so it really doesn't matter if you do the manhunt objectives or not
can't help you on the optimisation materials question, sorry - seem to work fine for me, but was in endgame long before the optimisation table was added
I think maybe scrapping yellow gear gives better materials than purple/green/blue, so maybe that's true of the opt materials too
alloies are only from yellow, I'm sure of it..
I think I got it.. you receive alloies only from maxed weapons, so mine were maxed at my level wehn i scraped them but still lower then 40
not sure at all.. but I just tried to scrap old weapons level 30 and didn't receive them..
well, optimisation materials are supposed to be hard to come by, I think the system is intended to act as a support for players who have bad luck with RNG - if you farm for ages and only get useless stuff, at least you can use it to optimise
bearing in mind that searching for better gear is one of the key things that keeps people playing the game, so they want it to be a slow process
I don't have a problem with that, I just wish I knew, they add all sort of warnings if you're capped, if you have them saved in loadouts, two more lines were fine
Can anyone explain to me why in the specialization menu - with three specializations (gunner, firewall, technician) I have only 3 points out of 165 needed? I have an active 1 year package with these specializations, but cannot get the points needed to upgrade my skills to 165/165. A few minutes ago I finished field testing for the firewall and thought the points would show up, but it's still 03/165 ... Help!
I think the year one was for sharpshooter, demo, and survivalist. Correct me if I’m wrong. You need to level up the specializations through XP grind.
you have to earn the points by gaining levels while the specialisation is active (various activities give bonus points: some bounties, invaded missions, daily/weekly projects etc)
the year one package just means you can start using the specialisation without doing the field testing (otherwise they start locked)
It's just a bit strange, because having an active firewall specialization, I hit over 400 lvl on checkpoints, missions, hunting ... and I didn't get any points ...? weird. Thanks for the suggestion - I'll try to change the specialization ...
Tactically speaking, what is the best way to take down machine gun heavies while running an SMG / Hunter's Fury build?
I'd rather not face tank them, even with a shield.
hide in cover close to them and blindfire, abuse cover-to-cover if they come close
probably other ways but that works for me. otherwise I just pull out my scorpio and it dies
Thank you.
how do i get optimization matt blueprints?
cp3s probably the easiest way
what world difficulty?
challenging cause that puts them all at alert level 3
only if you want
no reason not to if they don't slow you down too much. may as well make some exp at the same time
i turned off fog or war which is usually the only one i have on bc i wanna get though it quickly
no regen and fog of war shouldn't slow you down too much unless you rely on the minimap to find enemies
no regen just means you have to use an armor kit or fast travel to a safehouse after every cp
and if you're using a dps build I doubt you'll need skills so.. also cool skills
and maybe special ammo.. since that one's usually not too bad...
honestly pistolero is the only one that should slow you down. but do what's best for you
Is Protector a good talent? I'm not sure what to think of it
protector is the go to bp talent for most group tank builds, as its easy to proc, depending on what tank type there are better choices, especially going more offensive
Let's say it's a full Crit tank with 2.1 mil armor, all high end
if you want to go the dmg route, adrenaline rush and intimidate is the way to go
Actually I made the build to give the team the most amount of bonus armor possible
I tried Galvanize(my favorite so far), Leadership(best in raids), and Protector but I don't know if it's worth 3 sec
then galvanise is also one to look at, alongside vanguard chest that im gonna guess you already have
protector is decent, that short timer means also that its refreshing constantly as long as you are taking dmg, but galvanise just is alot more bonus but isnt "automatic"
and leadership means dropping shield, so not always usable while also tanking
yeah, no dont get me wrong, especially in raid leadership is fine where you arent always in full on tanking mode, so you can cover to cover inbetween wave and such, but if you go legendary tanking then its harder to find the time to procc it.
So if I were to go the damage route, wouldn't Protector be better than adrenaline rush?
adrenaline rush is allot more bonus armour, but just for you, and more reliable as even if they dont shoot you you have dmg bonus
and there are allot of things that dont straight up shoot, like huggers and grenaders, droners etc.
any dmg to your shield yes, but they arent continously firing at you, and adrenaline proccs and lets you kill them at within 10m, protectors only after they dmg you
but protector is the whole team, so its a personal choice which one you want
Guess I'll try it then, I prefer adrenaline rush anyways for just pure tanking anyways with bulwark
Oh that reminds me
Which is better? Gila and Belstone with Adrenaline rush or Belstone and Armor rolled Matador?
Point man for perfect vanguard, belstone backpack for the 1% regen if that's an option for you
Oh no Pointman not for this one
personally, i dont think gila is ever worth it, that 5% armour is only 100k at 2m, as such i would say belstone and ceska/grupo/dh brands for more punch
I was considering gila because it would increase Belstone 1% regen
Even if ever so slightly
also d&h over w&h (matador) especially on pistol, as its an even bigger gap of 5 wepdmg to 20 pistol, that are in the same pool
you brought up matador, my point on it still stands
Only considering it for the extra 9% bonus armor
also there are no real good second tank brands available, so go with belstone gila
Mm k
Are the bulwark chest and backpack worth a damn?
I've never seen anyone use it
theres your asnwer 😉
the chest can be ok, its just that HE talents are better and there is no good other item to use, at best you can go FB chest/bp and emp gaurd + bestone chest/backpack for a 3% regen tank, but there is no content in the game that needs that much tanking
If I can't tank 3 legendary heavies, it needs more tanking 
got a couple q's:
Does specialisation progress carry over characters so if i have a fully maxed firewall on my main will i also have a fully maxed firewall on a 2nd character
and
Do unlockable skills carry over? such as shrapnel trap
no and no
no
hurb
hurb?
bruh
what’s the advantage of creating an alt? am i missing something? i thought you can just switch specs and gear basically instantly
free matts from the shd levels
oh the scavenging thing?
mhm
that stops after 1000? i thought itd just continue
if youre shd 1k as soon as your character beats wony thats 200 instant scav points
no it still gives you scav points after 1k. its just that the time spent to complete wony vs time to get 200 scav points weighs heavily in the favor of new character
i think you need to buy the matt share first. not 100% on it but thats what i would to just to be safe
also, for those that play allot, it gives you more to do, and if you like builds, build slots
150 inventory space 🤣
basically storage wagons
oh yeah you’re right, they should make it 1500
nah its fine previously we used to have 100 inventory space
you can use loadouts to accomplish that by the by
but one of the main advantages of making alts is that once they get to 40, they share shd level; in other words, you get a bunch of scavenging points that you can then use to get materials for all of your characters (assuming you buy shared materials from inaya)
it's easily the best way to farm for shd calibration and field recon data used in optimization
oh someone else already said that lol I shoulda read
but hey two confirmations are better than one
yep, thanks sigg i appreciate it still
:^)
i think 50%+ is good enough
depends on what you sacrifice to get to 60%
probably, idk how to build man, im just flailing along and hoping im not total dog poop so i dont get yelled at
and as long as you're not going over 60% it's fine
yeah ngl i got too eager and went past 60 and then had to scale back, now im 58.8 and waiting for leveling up my shd to take care of the rest, im shd 26 now
it’s pretty hard to recalibrate things bc one change in gear or weapon is sometimes like +10% crit 😩
max out chc first on the offense branch btw, and make sure to pull back your build to follow
don't put enough points into chc to get you at exactly 60% and then focus on other things is what I'm sayin lol
but hey don't be afraid to ask questions about your build. you probably know this already, but there's tons of knowledgeable people more than willing to help in #td2-build-advice
not to mention the spreadsheet (which is in #td2-build-advice pins) is a great resource and has some builds you can work towards until you're more comfortable with experimenting
i wanted to go AR so i tried fenris first, but then somehow i got better stats on hunter set now im 4 set hunter, and i feel like i gotta go smg 😔
if you're running an ar with hunter then your build is definitely having an identity crisis
but you know what they say.. if it ain't broke, don't fix it
my build is constantly broken so im just... idk, chugging along
if it makes you feel any better, I'm shd level 221 and haven't even gotten my first build at 100% cohesion
running a red/yellow hybrid with chc/chd and one of my gear has hsd when it should have chc. it's very depressing
what's coyote?
coyote's mask; it's an exotic mask with a talent that increases chc/chd depending on your distance to an enemy
it's especially good for groups because each individual distance buff can stack and applies to all teammates
but even solo it's used in a lot of red builds
and support upto 3 player stacking
interesting
Dz pvp vs conflict pvp. Whats the difference if any in terms of builds/metas
conflict pvp is team vs team where as dz can be anything from 1v1 to 4v4v. . .
in other words there's a lot more flexibility in builds since stuff like healing is always going to be viable
Not much difference. You will still run into skill/status players and intimidate/adrenaline rush in both
But I see more fire sticky/stinger hives in conflict
Ik the diff in a general sense. I meant more about builds/meta
pvp is pvp. what's good in dz is unlikely to be worse in conflict
the only real difference is that conflict makes it so that some builds are more viable
In conflict are there 'unwritten rules' of the community?
idk but unwritten rules are unwritten rules
People hate mortar turrets and the status builds
Tiem to spam shrapnel traps all over the map
Jk thats glitching and i dont wanna get beanned
I have a friend who does that with rigger
Its a bannable thing iirc
if I've learned anything from other games, it's that bugs are actually features and should be abused to their fullest
It causes the server to screw up apparently
If you spam shock you can change your skill to shrapnel and then all the set shock traps will become shrapnel and shock
Good but takes some setup
Yea she showed me that yesterday, covered the whole damn area with traps
So if someone doesnt die from the shrapnel then they will be shocked
One build people hate in pvp (I think you're working on it now) is bulwark with regulus
Might try changing shock to healing traps
Not rn bc im just polishing off an eb build but after i will
You can test it out, haven't seen too many people use the trap though
Oh boyo boy. People will hate you if you use it in dz
I usually like playing a troll, so I might try it
So i do... if the rogues become toxic (not the haha funny toxic the racial slur toxic)
Yeah I'll play a toxic build if other players are getting toxic
Basicallly, china light mask, waveform and 4 pc rigger
I would teach you the spam technique but idk how mods would like that
I know how to do it, was playing around with it the other day
Nah, I wouldn't. Not my style
hardwire better
Like dont make it your main pvp build
Not to say youre wrong but.... youre wrong
I usually run systems as my main in DZ (I know it gets hate) but it works
hardwire best for that spam, for rigger you need that backpack
Why does my armor and shield feel so weak... my crusader shield has nearly 2m hp and yet it gets destroyed like its nothing
Systems?
System corruption
corrupt
Rigger is better because of the super secret forbidden jutsu
use an artifizer

Overall... rigger better
Also I can't seem too use my jet with crusader idk why
Jet?
i am laughing really bad cuz of that old meme
check your dm xD
Ooohh
Firewall gives a new ballistic shield similar too crusader...
@supple bane the flamethrower
you need ammo for that
@inner turtle if youre on tomorrow/later ill show you why rigger is absolutely better
i thought we were meeting today at dz
I need to slep
Bro how this player destory my shield so fast!

I hate rogues
wait till the manhunt hunter one shots your shield
My shield lasted longer when the wraith shooting it
This man 2 shot it and me
He didn't even have good weapons like wtf
the hunter will meele and your whole sheild + most health goes out
This game is bs regardless
Div2 is tactical, it doesn't present itself like that at first, but it really is.
using cover, moving smart, building smart, it's all part of it.
i feel like div2 presents itself as tactical, it doesnt seem to reward the 360noscope clutches as much as it rewards consistent smart positioning and using the environment and your toolkits
i meannn
on my second account ive been running around quickscoping people and it feels amazing haha
OK MLG
im out here strugglin to take control points LOL
honestly man nothing is more satisfying then hitting 5 headshots in a row
it's satisfying if they go down.. feels like ass for me if it takes like 2% of their health
anyway, gonna continue with the manhunt 😎
feels like ass for me when i headshot and they have like one strong breath of health left haha
goodluck buddy!
what's summit like? is it super difficult? i have to do it for the next manhunt apparently
No. Just put it on Normal and run your way through. If you don’t have the capacitor, put some challenges on as well.
i do summit on heroic with 1-2 other people just fine!
with directives
it all depends on what you choose
is there a time limit for the manhunt? how much time do i get to do these? i feel like ive been going forever and im only on 30%
The targets unlock after a certain time. You can choose to do them when they each unlock, or wait until they’re all unlocked. You have until the season timer ends. I’m not online, so I’m not sure right now.
we are week 4 of the season
if i start he dlc now, can i join a session of my lv 27 friend to help him finish the capitol? or cant i join then?
once you start the dlc, you are locked into newyork till you finish the dlc
so for your case you wouldnt be able to help him
Bruh I spent an hour doing summit challenges for the exotic ar and finally after my 5th challenge was done instead of giving it to me all my challenges reset is there a reason for that
8 weeks from now
Did you complete floor 100?
I gotta complete floor 100 for my challenges to count?
No. If you complete 100, the challenges reset.
Well I’ve never reached floor 100
It just randomly reset after I did my 5th challenge
I’m not sure then. My challenge progression is still the same.
Damn unlucky for me 🙃
Yeah. I know when I got it. I did a couple, then joined a clan mate on 100, finished it, then I had to begin again from challenge 1.
Is there a chance of lady death in summit
Yep! LD is in the general loot pool, so just hit Targeted Loot: SMG and stack those directives up.
Does anyone know if Tamper Proof is affected by Status Effects?
Can you get exotic lmg from the lmg targeted loot area
Uh, yes!
also, just post a question once. No need to spam chats with it.
Anyone who could help a newly 40 player wiht levels and items, to get a fast start? 😄
anyone use crafting? is it just me or is it the worst rolls in the game
it's often worse than farming normally, but the improvised stuff can be fun
keep getting error code “alfa-03”
this one? https://youtu.be/CyOgz8FXhRA
locked to if you pre-ordered Breakpoint, so kinda past that by now.
seems to be PC exclusive, but again, quite past the possibility of getting it by now.
Why is deconstructing exotics getting me nothing? 😮
Max is 20 exotic components
Well, crap. I guess I better sell any dupes I get then?
What can I do with the exotic components I have already?
Use them to reconfigure your current ones. I use the extra exotics to deconstruct later.
Thank you. Will try that.
so the guy who runs this site https://division2map.com hasent updated it in a while because the NYC map still has only to mask locations if anyone know where they can you suggest it to add it, itd help new players in the long run
what
think he meant to say only two mask locations, which it does, its just not well maintained, its missing allot of stuff
anyone know any good ways to efficiently farm for materials like ceramics, steel, etc. I want to make new builds but always burn out my ceramics when recalibrating pieces
will there be a resident evil re-run bc some of the outfits look cool
reeeeeeeeeee
No just re
🥲
i just want the blue beret
the only outfit i would have bought
how do you get the bermuda spray/dye?
You have to unlock all of the Seattle cosmetics from the heat wave apparel
There hasn't been an announcement so they shouldn't go down.
hey guys, a bit new to div 2, how do i complete "black tusk bounties"? i cant tell which bounty under the map tab which one is black tusk

So, how many of you leave a group the second someone shoots a dog?
🖐️ .
Thank god, I'm not the only one.
Gladly will leave, along with the fact that I feel instant remorse whenever I shoot an animal that gets stuck in the crossfire.
none of my bounties on the list has that icon @inner turtle . is there a way to get different black tusk bounty?
I think you should be allowed to use your revive hive on the animals that get in the way.
Have you gotten to end game yet, sxryn?
i think so? im maxed out on level and beat all of new york
bounties come and go daily. so wait for reset. alternative you can hit invaded hostage rescue
they each drop a bounty when completed
There should be Black Tusk taking hostages every now and again.
im trying to finish the weekly mission to do black tusk bounty i need to kill 2 more but there arent any
only have 4 hours left so freakin out haha
If you've already cleared BT out of DC for the week, you can head over to NY, there's usually a few of them over there. Or check around Tidal Basin.
got me thinking about the selfie i took with a deer ingame just after launch.
look for hostages in invaded areas
Tasks only spawn in specific locations, if none are appearing, clear some of them out.
ah, thank you guys!
jefferson trade center on heroic is how you get coyotes mask yea? can you still get it if you do it on invaded?
or from mask targeted
so it doesnt matter if i do the mission on invaded?
is coyote in the invaded version?
idk
go look at the boss list
Uber
ingame, there's icons on your map (can, bottle, screw) the Can has food crates you can open.
thanks!
i saw the talent on coyote and it just seems terrible
like… strong, but everything is situational and i hate it 🤣
there is. way to tell how far you are
its the buff icon
its got 3 "sides" the left side being colored in means you have the close buff, the middle means you have the medium range buff, the right means you have the long buff
if im using the crusader shield with my build what path in the watch should i be focusing on in utility
thanks a lot
ok weird question:
if you stack ND on an enemy
then Reg shot a different guy,
does the first enemy also have an explosive head shot or does the damage just transfer across?
just the first shot's damage
thought as much, thanks anyway
ND only transfers crits
reg explosion never crits
does world difficulty effect the amount of patrols are around
it seems like it
okay it 1000% does
What am I missing? Are you not supposed to shoot them?
Not the metal ones, the regular dogs running around the street.
if you shoot those your soul gets sent directly to hell, all the way down to the boiler room.
hey guys, does pistol stats contribute to overall stats? it makes sense for something like +1skill to contribute, but should i also be looking out for pistols with +CHD for example?
similarly with talents... fast hands on pistol =/= fast hands on AR, right?
Actually the Kard (Pistol that gives you +1 Skill Tier) only gives you that bonus Tier when you're holding it in your hand.
as for the rest: no. Talents only impact the weapon that the Talent is on.
ah ok, so all weapons give different stats, is there a way to check how much stats u have for each?
like... if i have 60% chc for primary and 50% chc for secondary
or something like that
if your stats work out as 60% on your primary, then you have 60% only on that primary. You can actually see the differences in-game by swapping the stats you're looking at, there's a key for it in the menu.
in the stat menu hand g
FOUND IT! thanks guys!
o7
best way to get high rolled gear mod stats? farming them or crafting them?
farm
guess im not doing that till next targeted loot or i can get a group for summit
you can do summit solo
just match make, you meet all sorts
is there an active global event now?
yea its time trials
another dumb q: if you deconstruct modded gear do u get the mod back
ah cool
good mods lost in the olden says T-T
How often is system corruption targetted loot in the dz?
Never, unless it's changed in the last few months.
rip so I gotta get lucky to get drop?
what should i do with my exotics? i already have 20 mats, maxed out one of each exotic piece. i have 52 marked junk and 19 caches
You've officially hit the endgame for Div2.
either store them on alts or have the customary existential crisis about deleting them.
🤔 idk like keep 2 of each type and dismantle the rest i guess
keeps stash space available and exotic component cap up
exotics arent rly something u recalibrate to suit different builds since u cant so even keeping just 1 of each is enough
my stash is almost full, 280/300 :c
you mean empty? lmfao
i also keep 1 of each max/good roll i could find
so i have almost every weapon and gear in the game as well
yep, endgame. It's why im on a break.
stash usually u wanna keep 1 of each named item ||minimum|| cos u never know when ull need it
i have all named items im pretty sure, been playing since day 1
what the fuck how much of that is off time
i play 1 session a week usually, but i stopped playing for about 2 months before season reruns
I understand that Summit auto-saves every 3 floors (when you enter an elevator). Can you leave Summit entirely and come back to continue later?
checkpoints save on your account
OK tx
u can leave on floor 30 and go to DC or NY
when u come back u start on floor 30
You can also matchmake and join someone on a higher floor, idk 80 and when you complete a floor its gonna update your checkpoint to there
good for rushing summit
bad for challenges cos they reset after finishing floor 100
Interesting...
only the completed challenges reset on finishing floor 100
all others stay un touched.
oh yea forgot to add that
vendor link anyone?
I miss my Urban MDR from TD1. Ended up pretty much being a veritable repeating laser-stable damage dealer. Anything in TD2 I can farm and mod that would end up similar?
You're talking semi fast fire rate rifle?
Yep
Mk17
Any tips on farming either?
Hit up Rifle targetted loot
K
and pray for the drop.
I use it. It does jump around at its maximum fire rate a bit but you can definitely see great mileage with some weapon handling stats.
At 16-24% weapon handling, its a laser.
Mk17 fires slower but more stable shot
you can see more DPS with the MDR but control and landing the shots is harder to do.
Got it. Tx
Hey, I'm getting incoming backup requests in the middle of the mission, does that mean they are also doing the same mission?
Usually not in my experience.
Could be different though, I've only tried to answer one once during a mission.
I see. Then I should not respond. Thank you.
any known hunter spawns around where i am rn bc im getting glitch effects which to my knowledge only comes from hunters or emp's
https://i.imgur.com/9mV0bnF.png
if you have a choice between a looted and a rewarded exotic which one will you keep? react with
for looted and
for rewarded
if one was max rolled the max rolled. if neither are maxed keep both and keep rolling the lowest rolled one until you get a maxed one then yeet the non maxed one
they're both god rolls and one of them must be blown up because manny said so
Manny ortega the coordinator
manny ortega? do you know? he's the real mastermind. the real rogue agent. he's telling you to blow stuff up and you blindly follow his orders
Man can't lead either, every squad he tries to command gets slapped instantly.
Lol
he did try to evacuate the white house so
what do you guys recommend for AR talent
insync, fast hands or strained
you can see where they are on the SHD map (and also see if it's story mode or endgame mode from the icon). If you're in an 'off-site' location (eg Pentagon, Coney Island etc) then you'll only get backup requests from the same location, but it's not necessarily the same mission if there's two at that location
what are the classified commedations? it just says explore washington to unlock
you need to have the year one pass to unlock the classified missions, and probably need to reach the endgame before they'll become available
the first one is northeast of the whitehouse
im like shd level 1000, done all of wony and dc, and the classified missions with both year passes
ok weird, I'd assume the classified commendations are tied to the classified missions
They aren't, I'm pretty sure you get them from around DC just not sure how specifically.
I'll have a look in my game, although if they're basically like hidden achievements I guess I wouldn't be able to say which ones they are (if I have them)
yeah I don't see any classified commendations in any of my subsections
which subsection are they in? @fallow zodiac
I put together new build and my crits are hitting for 1.3 mil consistently god damnnn
@willow gale I went with strained
all but combat
Hmm, difficult to say which ones they are then. Raid commendations maybe?
ive done the raids, i dont have all the commendations but like i have a few
thats what im saying idk what this can be
do they have a 'rank' colour (blue/green/grey bar on the left)
all green
eesh, there's too many to be able to narrow it down without going through them one by one, and I don't have the patience for that
yeah thats reasonable
ah i dont think ive done tidal basin on story difficulty??
which makes less sense cause ive done this mission countless times not including when it was first unlocked... unless they were all considered invaded?
Can I get dark winter from the summit
no
I'm gonna go cry then
bring tissues. You can get it from named caches, so theres your savior
I didnt really know how to do this correctly but whats the correct way to farm?
Like if im trying to get merciless and i farm jeff trade center
Would it be better to die after killing the boss?
Or something else
Is Ace & eights still the best gear set for sniper mains?@true siren
its up there
Whats the current best for sniper mains?
Optimal is farm target loot for it (for 99.9% of gear too).
Best target loot farming: Lincoln >> open world zones = summit >>> everything else.
Whats high end
Gear thats in gold rarity
oh, I thought their was a brand called high-end
bonus armor on legs
hello,
today i've met some very nice people on a raid, and was told classified builds are not worth compared to high-end (yellow) ones
which families should i go for if i want to have like a bunch of damage + crit chance/damage and what attributes should they have?
please tag my message so i can just check once someone replies to me... thanks! 
There isn't any Classified sets in Division 2. There are Gearsets however.
There are no classified builds (that’s Div 1 only). You mean gear sets and Some are not worth it but others are very much worth + compete with full high end dps. take a look at the pinned build lists in #build_advice, lots of builds there.
Do gear talents only roll on backpacks and chests?
yes
is eagle bearer still a big thing thats sought after at all with people ?
for fun yes.
Is it possible to join an existing summit? I couldnt find any 'join' function in the matchmaking menu
you can matchmake for summit or join/invite players
Ah i see, thought i could just join a random ongoing one, thanks ^^
you can. that's what matchmaking does
Oh lol, alright gonna try 😄
yes its the best AR in game ignore azur hes a poopy head
Lol best for. Fun
Hello, is daze and disorient the same thing? Does Banshee dazes?
well
Thank you. That explains why everyone is gunner now.
Disorienting someone does put them in a daze 🤣
listen here
Does intentionally summit wiping not work anymore? I'm killing the named and wiping, but the named doesn't drop after 1
so on ubisoft connect it says i can download division but when i got to download it it takes me to stem and it says i have to buy it on steam
same thing with steep, watchdogs 2, for honor, and others how do i fix
i linked my xbox account that already had the games and think i would get all those games buy i have to buy them all over again
is there a reliable way to find named enemies aside from main quests?
Missions, Cps 4, heroic summit all have named
literally every bounty?
Those 2
thanks
you bought on xbox, you play on xbox
you bought on steam, you play on steam
there are random bossess scattered everywhere as well as completing hostage takeovers
awesome, thank you
Not 100% sure if they count for what you need them for, but CPs at Lvl 4 also spawn Named enemies each wave as the boss.
After you've hit end game, there's a myriad of named dudes that always spawns just south of the White House before you get to the flea market. Spawns every half hour.
oh sorry i should've been more clear, i was doing it for the weekly project and i think it had to be in a specific zone
but thanks anyway, as always the community is super helpful
If I save a load out with another specialization, can I swap between them there instantly without going to the white house? Same as how I instantly take everything I need out of my box?
Yes, as long as you're not in combat. You'll lose all specialization ammo though.
im always out of that ammo anyways when logging in, porting or doing anything somehow ^^i mainly want to swich between ammo reg and the technician hive and survivalist bonus helaing, not the weapon
I feel like you only get enough when you are in some mission, or have that one gear set.
The healing difference between Technician and Survivalist is only 5% iirc.
The gearset Salty mentioned is Tip of the Spear.
is the apartment even that good?
like i know in Div1 the house was like OoOoOffffff
it is good enough
and you can get it from smg targeted loot cant you?
only if dz is smg targeted, gun is dz exclusive
aight thanks
measured depends on your gear choices
the more total weapon you have from talents the worse it is
Momento or Coyotes mask? (For a DPS build)
they are different builds
Coyotes = higher dps, memento = higher self sustain/ hybrid.
Also memento is only good for CQB builds.
Alright thank you!
Hi, trying to complete a subset, but the comms we are missing is no where to be found, even after using a map to find it. it just does not spawn, even after logging out and back in again. it is the "leader elected" one from campus. Any ideas? Supposed to be in a stairway at judiciary square
Try switching to someone else's instance. Whoever group leader is might have already picked it up in theirs.
whats the difference between skill repairs and repair skills?
just the wording
so the backpack talent that gives me 100% skill repair will just double my base healing??
Skill repair is still repair skills
total is multiplicative while the other is additive to base.
@prisma whale is safe guard total or base?
yeah thats why i said base, 100% added base is just basically doubling base heals right
wait its total
1 sec
im looking at it
it says "total repair skill" ?
"while at full armor, increases total skill repair by 100%"
okay so total.
thats crazy
yup
keep in mind its additive with other total repair skills talents if you have any.
yeah, i would take the healing number i see from my skill and just double it then yeah? except i guess it doesnt take into account other talents but whatever
would safeguard work with the tech hive?
no not double
well okay it IS double if you have no other total skill repair.
so it does affect your tech hive numbers?
for heal to shield, yes
Heal is:
Base heal x (sum of repair skill) x (sum of total repair skill) x amps = final heal.
what is base heal for artificer?
Starts off at 10% and gains an additional 10 every skill tier.
hmmm i actually dont know the formula for artificer. i do know all repair skill types increase it though.
Its not too different
You get the skill tier increases then whatever is 20% of whatever skill you're healing with it, you put in repair skills.
ah okay
Lets say 1 skill tier and its a 20% heal
200 being whats healed.. then give it the repairskills treatment.
so it gets the HP value of skill 1st.
quick question, does the regulus parts drop only after the weekly refresh when completing the projects?
Yes. If you got the project after you finished the current week's raid drops, you will need to wait until reset to get the parts for regulus.
yeah tought so, thnx
I've been doing the League missions with random groups (on heroic) but I'm not getting credit for it in the tracker. What's going on? https://i.imgur.com/g3GZ08B.png
Done a couple of them 2-3 times.
The league missions are only available on hard and challenging. It says that on the league menu when you click on it
standardizes the leaderboard
everyone can only do this on one difficulty, so it's fair
Thanks. Forgot that's a thing too. 🙂
is there anyone that has completed year 2 hunters and have a new character slot that they haven't started yet?
"Fair" except for people that miraculously finish them in 1 minute 12 seconds. lol
Welp... I can only hope they have normal names but I do know that there is this weird glitch where a mission can give the completion screen sooner than later.
its usually around that time in some missions.
I've heard that. I always just assumed someone started the mission, called for help on the final boss or something, and whoever joined them did technically finish the mission in a minute, they just didn't start at the beginning.
fair to as fair as it can be anyway
I do think it's weird, if you ever look at the leaderboards for like normal stuff, the people that have the most kills or similar are all level 30s. Like they set the record before WONY came out and nobody has beaten them yet.
I think there was more enemy volume in those missions back then too.
sounds like they abused glitches that existed prior to WONY/patches but the leaderboards never got reset
It's just funny, someone played their ass off for like a year, and then when the expansion came out they're like, "Nah, this game isn't for me."
I play another game with w/d/l leaderboard and for years someone had a 30-0-0 record and was at the top of the leaderboard and everyone was whining because their 250-50-25 record "should be better than 30-0-0" just by pure volume. So, they finally decided they'd reset the leaderboard every 6 weeks and added in some complicated as hell formula where playing more weighted your games heavier so you now see nonsense like 12-4-8 teams ahead of 6-0-0 teams just because the former played more games.
is the daily targeted loot random or a set rotation? im awaiting the day when fenris becomes targeted at lincoln memorial
I just wished there was a drop down menu in game for whatever you want and it'd tell you where it was if at all that day.
spend half my morning scrolling over the map, switching back and forth from NY / DC just to find out whatever I'm looking for isn't available that day.
Is there a point to being in a clan?
clan vendor, clan bounties, weekly cache
those are the standouts might be forgetting a few benefits
If you have an active clan (hard to come by) you have built in groups
And here I was thinking I wasn't active enough to be in a clan
I mean active like they have a separate discord or something for coordinating groups/raids/dz whatever. I've been in a clan for a couple of months and nobody has said a word to each other ever.
Funniest part is, the clan leader keeps advertising the clan discord in the feed, but the discord has like 75 other games on it but not Division 2.
Dodge city holster, it deals hsd to anywhere on the body but does it affect regicide meaning it also activates?
whats a hard wired G-component?
hard wired has different pieces that drop from different bosses to craft
its pretty stupid so just farm the pieces in targ loot
im farming Lincoln memorial atm
ive just never seen it before so didnt know if its important or not
so what is it? crafting material?
