[spiral blaze]

yes tahnke lock for pvp, raide, dz, and pve

but thanke a loot

[edgy shard]

Best source of optimisation resources?

[grand nebula]

shd points

[edgy shard]

Damn

[mystic lodge]

Does high tier commendation help you get better loot?

[grand nebula]

has nothing to do with loot

[willow gale]

does skil vanity mods acutally do anything at all

[mystic lodge]

I thought he was speaking nonsense but at the same time I wouldn't been surprised if that was a thing

[grand nebula]

by definition its for vanity

[willow gale]

i genuinely dont even know what that means

[grand nebula]

https://bfy.tw/RI3q

[twilit otter]

It's just for appearance

[willow gale]

but they do nothing for appearance?

[edgy shard]

Just cosmetic

[willow gale]

also where do i acquire this for re use.

[edgy shard]

Abandoned concept it seems

Like many others

[grand nebula]

https://bfy.tw/P5Ug

[twilit otter]

For shield and drones it gives you the division symbol, seekers get some sparkler cosmetic, I think there's one more I can't remember right now

[willow gale]

thank u sir

[narrow kraken]

Quick question, whenever I try and do the demon mask hunter for some reason this guy never flipping spawns in any idea what to do? (I've finished the edwards side quest, shooting them from top to bottom, etc.) hes spawned in for me once but I haven't been able to get him to spawn back in a second time.

[grand nebula]

did you kill him the first time?

[narrow kraken]

No I got slapped because I had a lag spike for some random reason.

(Also I've tried this like 3 previous nights so this is the 4th time of me trying to spawn him in since I died to him the first time.)

[timid lava]

if you fail, you gotta redo everything

[narrow kraken]

The demon mask from my knowledge is just a one step thing.

You just shoot the targets all over again, unless I'm missing something.

[timid lava]

try logging off and on

might be a bug

[narrow kraken]

I've tried that a few times. Just did it a minute or so ago.

[mystic lodge]

Hey I'm trying to make a status affect build. Is hana-U corp brand best for this or is there another brand?

[narrow kraken]

And I know I'm hitting the targets because I can see where I hit them if I look at them well enough.

[grand nebula]

are you doing this at the right time of day?

[grand nebula]

theres a status build in the spreadsheet

99% of them use eclipse protocol

[narrow kraken]

Yes if I'm not mistaken the time period is between 19:00-5:00

I've done them probably at all hours between these times quite literally.

[mystic lodge]

Its too complicated fod me to navigate tbh, so I don't use it

[grand nebula]

its after 21:00

[narrow kraken]

Yeah I've been doing it for the past few attempts 19:00-5:00

A few minutes ago It was sometime after 21:00 and I was still shooting the targets and he wouldn't spawn.

[grand nebula]

no idea then

[narrow kraken]

Hm alright, thanks for trying to help.

[narrow kraken]

^ This was resolved by the way, sorry for wasting anyones time during that small chat. (ended up having to completely move to another part of the little area even though I've moved spots multiple times shooting at the targets and even though my last bullets were showing up as hitting the target apparently none of them counted.)

[grand nebula]

noob

[narrow kraken]

My apologies again, I thought it was something I was doing wrong but it seemed like I had to move to an area that I never shot from before.

[grand nebula]

im just fucking with you dude, no need to apologize

loads of people who do stuff they actually should apologize for never do

so dont even sweat it

[narrow kraken]

Lol I understand the joke I just feel genuinely bad and also feel dumber than a rock. Lol

[willow gale]

everyone starts somewhere

[timid lava]

even me with 1100h ask things, nothing to feel sorry about

[mystic lodge]

Just too make sure, incoming repair is for receiving repairs from other players right?

[willow gale]

any repairs u recieve

anything but ur medkit iirc

so ur own heal hive, chem launcher etc

also other ppl's

[mystic lodge]

Ok cool

[oak talon]

any repair from skills, to clarify, it wont affect heals from talents

[willow gale]

does it work with foundry or no?

[stiff cedar]

probably not

[oak talon]

as i understand it,it should no longer apply to any gear ability or talents

[willow gale]

interesting, okay

[foggy needle]

Incoming only buffs heals from skills, to your agents body

[willow gale]

so doesnt work for art hive

[foggy needle]

Correct

[willow gale]

ok, cool thanks guys.

we not cool

because ive been using incoming repairs on FB

[foggy needle]

Lol

[willow gale]

i was thinking it buffed Art hive and FB talent

[foggy needle]

Neither.

It was nerfed to what it is now back in TU 9 iirc

[willow gale]

pain good reason why u shouldnt listen to youtube videos

[foggy needle]

So about a year ago

[jolly shell]

whats the fix for the fragile armor directive in summit ?

[tulip matrix]

armour kit

[inner tendon]

There's a glitch where it doesn't repair it properly.
The current "fix" last I checked was just relogging. Annoying I know.

[tulip matrix]

errrrrrrrrrrrrr probs, but honnestly just don't take damage

[inner tendon]

"just dont die" is certainly a fix lol

[tulip matrix]

I just always have it active and well only armour kit when I can't pick the dropped ones up and thats fine

[narrow kraken]

hey does anyone know that the little screens in the NOA HQ do?

[tulip matrix]

not a lot

look good

[narrow kraken]

so theres no easter egg?

[tulip matrix]

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr'

[narrow kraken]

I just want to know if my efforts are worth it, even a little bit

[tulip matrix]

there is a hidden room

[narrow kraken]

sweet, thanks

[tulip matrix]

want to know the solution?

[narrow kraken]

sure...?

[tulip matrix]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW39mvIhW6U

google is an amazing thing

• I love this guy

[narrow kraken]

thanks

[inner tendon]

hah, Terry Pratchett reference. Nice.

[narrow kraken]

if i go to the dz does it also level my base level? or just dz level

[foggy needle]

Both

[narrow kraken]

that's only if you survive long enough

[foggy needle]

Only pvp experience applies to DZ level aswell though.

[narrow kraken]

i was extracting then all of a sudden it says disconnecting any action will stop this, and i killed 2 rogues and then i was disconnected from the server? any explanation?

[foggy needle]

Internet issue on your side. Double check your internet

Or restart it

[narrow kraken]

idk i reconnected back instantly and im not lagging at all, maybe just a bug idk? it was weird atleast i got my loot

[marble shadow]

what gun is pyromaniac? im trying it out at the moment and the stability/accuracy is insane! but im a bit sus about the talent surely there are better?

[narrow kraken]

police m4

and yes there are better talents

it does 25% extra damage to enemies on fire

im sure dttooc or something else would be better for a talent

[random sapphire]

what floors do ridgeways pride pieces drop

[narrow kraken]

all of them

[random sapphire]

ive already got the body and shoulders

but i was told they drop around certain floors

[narrow kraken]

each set of floors has a specific part

[random sapphire]

do you know the floors by chance?

[narrow kraken]

"Vest: Normal Body Armor" on floor 1-10
"Vest: Hard Shoulder Pads" on floor 11-20
"Vest: Challenging Hunting Knife" on floor 21-50
"Vest: Heroic Flag Patch" on floor 51-80
"Vest: Legendary Dog Tags" on floor 81-100"

why yes i do

[true siren]

^wrong

[narrow kraken]

???

[true siren]

1-20, 21-40, 41-60, 61-80, 81-99

those are the old numbers

[narrow kraken]

kek

my bad then

[random sapphire]

thanks aspect

[true siren]

the ones i posted are the new ones, changed a couple weeks after summit release

back when you couldnt change difficulty

[narrow kraken]

change deez nutz

[true siren]

.warn

[narrow kraken]

you wouldn't 🥺

[true siren]

say something warnable

dont

[narrow kraken]

how about rhianna lyrics

[marble shadow]

thank you!

[mystic lodge]

Hey, does skill damage attribute increase status affect damage from skills or no?

[grand nebula]

yes

[marble shadow]

does completing all of the weekly invasion give you something special at the end

[grand nebula]

1 named item per invaded mission and 2 named items at the end of tidal basin, if you do it all on heroic

and backpack trophies and wtv if its your first time doing it outside of story mode

[marble shadow]

nothing on challenging?

[grand nebula]

dont think so

[marble shadow]

guess i gotta git gud

[brave cairn]

Is there any news about cross save possibly coming to this game?

[grand nebula]

Doubt

[prisma whale]

Press X to Doubt

[inner tendon]

Actually yes. Bad news tho.
They have confirmed that "future Ubisoft games" are getting proper crossplay,
however Div2 is not.

[edgy shard]

Can anyone confirm that ep backpack no longer works without ep 4pc

[inner tendon]

I can. was changed a while ago now.

[tulip fiber]

Seconded

[edgy shard]

Thanks

Ah I'm an idiot I see they changed the description

Hadn't checked

That's a shame

[burnt pine]

Does the Repair Skills mod affect repair hive healing?

[marsh holly]

yes

[tulip matrix]

Repair skills effect the amount of hp each healling skill will do per tick, so the amount for hive charge or the amount per tick you stand in a chem ect

[crisp crow]

Has the game died?

[ivory sundial]

Nope

[inner tendon]

Yes, everyone's still here talking because the game is dead.

wooooo, we're ghosts, boo!

[tired aspen]

Hello! I bought warlords of new york recently. I completed it and then i came back to DC and saw that i have more rogue agents to hunt. I need to complete bounties to collect data. I completed bounties but it didnt give me any data. Can someone help me?

yea about the manhunt

where can i find those bounties?

ohhhh okay i will try to find those specific bounties

thank you!

yep

okiii tyyyy

okayyy

It worked, I just did a bounty

Thank you!

[narrow kraken]

how do i unlock a hunter? i wanna fight one, all i been doing is bountys and DZ to level up

[grand nebula]

theres guides floating around the web, you need to be at max level

[inner tendon]

You gotta do the mission called "Agent Edwards support" after you are at max level.

[green yacht]

Glass cannon or obliterate? (Talent)

[grand nebula]

chocolate ice cream or vanilla

[edgy shard]

Chocolate

[foggy needle]

@green yacht don't spam multiple channels with same question. Re-read the #rules.

[edgy shard]

Whatever happened to b3nden or something like that

[inner tendon]

Best I can tell is that he left, I quite liked him.

[green yacht]

Sorry about that… it won’t happen again

[grand nebula]

hes away to see some family from what i know

likely no time to deal with us people

[foggy needle]

He's been very busy with RL and school. Still lurks though lol

[marble shadow]

how difficult is a raid compared to legendary DUA? bc i just did that last night and that was INTENSE

may or may not have been carried 😬

[grand nebula]

diferent dificulty origins

[marble shadow]

elaborate pls

[grand nebula]

legendary has fucked mobs that eat your ass

raids are hard because they need people to follow mechanics

and cooperate/coordinate

[marble shadow]

ah ok, makes sense, but what about enemy scaling? are they similar? like health etc? and are there different difficulty settings for raids? or just one?

[grand nebula]

theres discovery, aka tourist mode

and normal, which is heroic equivalent in terms of mobs

but by the time youre in a raid, youre expected to not struggle with the simple task of killing trash

[narrow kraken]

are clans important or no

[grand nebula]

A bit

Free loot and a vendor

[marble shadow]

what do you get at the end of summit?

[narrow kraken]

ahh okay ill look for one then

[olive forge]

hello, I need some confirmation - is there a guaranteed Eagle Bearer drop after 5 raid clears? Does it come from the box or is it a drop from Razorback?

[true siren]

It is not guaranteed

[olive forge]

ah that sucks. do we still get a chance for it to drop from the bosses even after the first weekly clear?

[true siren]

Not from the bosses, but from the final chest

[olive forge]

ah ok, thank you

[oak talon]

bosses only have that 1% drop chance for eb on the first clear of the week

but that is so unlikely as to be not worth considering

[fallow inlet]

That's where I got mine 1st boss dropped it for me

But now it's all from the box

[tulip fiber]

I was in a raid with a clan mate and he got a triple god rolled one off Buddy and Lucy

[verbal topaz]

How do you enable loading screen tips lol. Never appeared since day 1 of the game. Hints set to on in gameplay settings

[tulip matrix]

Pray to our overlords to fix their game

[fallow inlet]

@tulip fiber nice very nice

[narrow kraken]

should i get the division 2?

[grand nebula]

if you think youl like the game

[supple bane]

what is the best way to farm yhaal gear within the dz (yes i know its is only dz). im trying to get a very specific chestpiece but the random brand crafting approach seems like it would require the start to align... all wars to end and etc etc. in other words its just too unlikely. what would be a better way to either get yhaal chestpieces or the yhaal crafting material?

[twilit otter]

Not sure if there is, most of the yaahl gear I've gotten were from conflict caches saddly

[foggy needle]

Best way is to farm gear slot target loot at DZ

Can also sometimes buy yhaal at vendor and of crafting (using all 3 methods is best).

[supple bane]

ig i'll be waiting for reset to see what vendors bless or curse us with

[willow gale]

fuck off

any moderators

[narrow kraken]

since i already beat the first game and i still play it idk if u should buy it

[grand nebula]

up to you entirely

its more division

so if you liked 1, chances are youl like 2

[narrow kraken]

yeah litarlly all i do in now in the first game is just to the last mission of the game like the LMB mission where u have to kill Charles Bliss lmao

[sweet meadow]

So i went in summit through match-make. 3 guys from same clan UDT, cleared the first floor which was level 90, Bighorn dropped for me. i went to loot. and they returned to lobby immidiately, then kicked me from party, lost the loot. got the screenshot though..

[grand nebula]

sorry that happened

but is there a question?

[sweet meadow]

there is no way to get it, don't think giving screenshot gonna help me anyway.

[fallow inlet]

@narrow kraken div2 ties up a lot ends and a surprise or to

Make shure you get warlords of ny with it,you'll be able to make gear and stats out

@sweet meadow wow udt clan FUCKED tou

But sorry to say you'll have to go for it again

[grand nebula]

it wasnt his clan saph

[fallow inlet]

Oops miss read me bad

All fixed👍

[sweet meadow]

its not mine. i mean i m not in UDT. They were from same clan except me,

[narrow kraken]

ight thxs

are gearsets still in the game? i dont hear abt them often

[inner tendon]

Yep!
They're about on par with High-ends and Exotics, in terms of usefulness.

[narrow kraken]

okay thanks! i hope theres a gearset like nomads for self res

[inner tendon]

No Nomads anymore, but there's a skill for that called "Reviver Hive".

[fair trench]

guys im missing 1 last branded blue print for each mask knees backpack etc, anyoone know how i can get it?

the yellow item blue print not the green gearsets

[inner tendon]

Not every item has a craftable blueprint, go check your Crafting Table and see what you are missing.

[fair trench]

it just says 13/14 but there is no blacked out item

[broken canyon]

Sorry wrong channel

[unborn tide]

anyone know how I can get a d50 blueprint easy?

[inner tendon]

There is no d50 Blueprint. Just gotta farm a pistol.

[inner tendon]

It might be from the Season Pass.
Tactical .308, is my best guess.

[unborn tide]

any easy way to get one?

[inner tendon]

Targeted Loot: Pistol. Same as most gear in div2.

best of luck, rng can be tricky.

[narrow kraken]

I have a Hunter's Fury Memento build that works really well with the Lady Death, but I'm trying to get the Dark Winter as either a replacement for LD or a backup.

My backup is the Savage Wolverine, but I'm trying to find a better alternative AR to replace it. What talents go well at close range? I've been thinking of running either In Sync, Optimist, Killer or Breadbasket but I just don't know which one I feel works best

[placid lake]

bois how to get the 20+ mag for 5.56? and also whats the gear that you can only get from raid?

[stiff cedar]

20 round 5.56 mag is a blueprint, it will tell you in the crafting table how to get it if you hover over it (projects, cp3s or cp4s, etcetera)

the future initiative and foundry bulwark chest and backpack are iron horse exclusives, alongside the exotic ravenous rifle
dark hours' only exclusive is exotic eagle bearer iirc

[placid lake]

ok cool thanks

[willow gale]

Eagle bearer

[keen stag]

hey guys got a quick question for y'all? where is the best place to farm for big horn?

[inner tendon]

Current popular meta seems to be Lvl 100 Summit.
but any named enemy on Legendary has a chance to drop a copy.

[keen stag]

a copy? i havent unlocked one yet and have been running summit on legend with 4 directives for a week now and nothing :c

[inner tendon]

it was just an expression.
RNG can be a pain, but it's either do that or just farm out any named enemy. Remember, the drop rate is real low.

[keen stag]

okay and thanks!\

[young stump]

How long time I should plan for the raids to complete ? Haven't done them yet and thinking about starting to do them but have no idea how much of a time commitment that would be.

[willow gale]

45mins to 1 hour. Is a slower raid, ~20 mins is easily done if ppl know what they’re doing

I’d say max hour and a half

[inner tendon]

^
+Depends heavily on the team and the Raid Leader

[willow gale]

I’d start with DH

[inner tendon]

the best thing you can do to speed it along? Listen to the person giving directions.

[willow gale]

DH is easier then IH so it’s a good one to start with

Just bring high DPS

[inner tendon]

I genuinely can not stress enough the whole "listen to the Raid Leader" part.
all the DPS in the world is just gonna cause wipe after wipe if you don't.

[willow gale]

Plus u can get eagle bearer from DH , and eagle bearer is best gun in game

[narrow kraken]

]

[upbeat rock]

the best gun in the game is pestilence

[inner tendon]

stop, stop, it hurts.

[willow gale]

I’m saying bring DPS cuz it’s easy to play and doesn’t require much to get.

But yea listening is good to do

Or u can not listen and get kicked in 2 mins

That’s always fun

[upbeat rock]

what gun are u using, rivens?

[inner tendon]

im in Australia, so we mostly just throw redback spiders at ppl.

oh ingame? I'm the MMR weirdo.

that being said, not against a HF setup/skill/FMJ, im not that picky.

as long as its not pvp, ill try basically anything twice.

Most of them are harmless, but i do have a St-andrews cross living outside my door.

i dont mind them, they eat mozzies and flies.

plus the poison would hurt the maggies + geckos that live here and they have no problem with me.

geckos here are kinda tiny lizards, about 3-4" long, they eat bugs and couldnt hurt humans if they wanted to.

the see-through? i actually had a pregnant one on my windows the other day, could see the eggs.

theyre so cute!

thats just australia. There's lots of wildlife around.
my old place had kangaroos sleeping on the front lawn during the day.

ooookay someone purged their messages.

[ivory sundial]

Welp

[upbeat rock]

rivens loves to talk about geckos n bugs

[inner tendon]

that'd be a funnier joke if i hadnt screengrabbed.

😉.

[willow gale]

Geckos are cool

[narrow kraken]

guys in the ironhorse raid, what do you need to do with the 3 buttons?

[inner tendon]

#td2-raid-discussions someone might be able to help you down there.

[keen stag]

whats mmr?

[tulip fiber]

Marksman rifle

[keen stag]

ohhhh yeah i run mericless with 3 peice striker aswell as braced composure to make that thing a laser it's awesome

[inner tendon]

3 pc striker, of course.

of course its a 3pc striker.

[keen stag]

reload is less than a second

[inner tendon]

I'm not even gonna bother anymore.

[keen stag]

rivens what would you recommend

[inner tendon]

4pc Striker or a different set entirely, but yeah 4 or high-end.
3pc is apparently good for some niche raid strats and maybe pvp but thats it.

3pc Striker is like 3pc Aces, it looks pretty with big numbers but the maths works out to be worse.

im sure someone who has the maths already typed up can help, probs ask Azur if you see him.

[keen stag]

yeah i figured with 3 peice i can run coyote with 1 gs and 1 ceska to min max build im not worried for stack from striker

[grand nebula]

literally not possible

[keen stag]

you sure about that

[grand nebula]

very sure

[inner tendon]

<1 sec does seem very low, any proof?

[grand nebula]

no thats not it

game caps reload at 1 second

very few things go below that cap

[inner tendon]

he send you a vid too? There's no way im opening a random .mkv file.

[keen stag]

its a screen cap

i do twitch

[inner tendon]

i havent survived online for this long by opening files from any random person.
no offence, im sure its safe. but im just not.

[grand nebula]

you can count frames, i guarantee you its not below 1s

[keen stag]

okay eph count frames then

riven i can stream my current game to twitch and show you

[grand nebula]

ive counted frames when i was looking into this, and im not doing your homework lul

ive told you the info, you do as you will

[keen stag]

okay you sound defensive that i just proved you wrong its okay take the L and keep moving forward

[grand nebula]

xD

you reload isnt below 1 second princess, you dont need to act out

[keen stag]

okay .824 of a second just counted frames

not replying to you anymore eph your what the kids call a hater

[grand nebula]

youre a bit dense, reload is counted from start of animation to bullet fire, if you only counted the little bar going up then youre incorrect

[vivid swan]

hi all, trying to finish the foundry project, Donate ironworks base materials, its that only IH raid as i have 32 and need 40, any advice?

[twilit otter]

Yea you only get the base materials from the bosses, you get more once you complete the foundry and future project

[vivid swan]

thanks, so just keep doing the raid till u get the 8 pieces i need to finish

[grand nebula]

wait a week

[vivid swan]

lol next tuesday

[twilit otter]

If you still need the chest/backpack for future or foundry you can try running the raid again on an alt if it's setup but if not yeah wait a week

[vivid swan]

might try run it and beg for a piece lol

[twilit otter]

That works, I asked a crew to drop the pieces I needed

[vivid swan]

Thanks for the advice👍

[twilit otter]

No problem

[delicate blaze]

can you only reconfigure gun exotics?

[grand nebula]

and optimize

@keen stag https://imgur.com/a/mpUmUF8
I took pitty on you and helped you out with counting frames. Animation starts at 5:25, 6.24 its still not done as the hand isnt correctly placed on the grip and only at 6.25, exactly 1s after does it finish. And that doesnt even count time to fire

numbers are hard

[flat veldt]

hello, if I am trying to farm targeted missions for exotics do I need to add directives or is just running on heroic enough?

[ivory sundial]

Directives increase loot

If you want

[edgy shard]

Only in summit no?

Or did they make it global

[ivory sundial]

It goes with every mission

[flat veldt]

thank you!

[edgy shard]

Are you sure

[grand nebula]

Yes its global

It increases the chance a piece of loot is targeted

[chrome pivot]

does anyone know if an entire team uses negotiators does it cancel the other persons ability of tagging an enemy?

[glacial walrus]

What’s the best way to farm for exotic loot (looking for memento specifically but also want other items) how is summit targeted loot vs open world or mission farming

[willow gale]

Get to lv 90 in season pass iirc for memento. And target loot farming

Lincoln>open world>summit>missions

[glacial walrus]

I thought it was a previous season pass reward

[willow gale]

No this season.

[glacial walrus]

Oh nice thanks 👍

[keen plinth]

How do i get points for the specialization

[inner tendon]

Just by levelling up you'll get points, and there's extra activities that mention extra points on top of that.

[balmy ore]

can you get sweet dreams with exotic caches or its only limited to outcast bosses

[inner tendon]

Sweet Dreams/Lullaby is in the Targeted Loot: Shotguns pool, like almost every Exotic.

[balmy ore]

oh alright

[inner tendon]

gl farming!

[unborn tide]

How easy is Iron horse raid? I'm looking to get the bullwark backpack

[edgy shard]

Need good coordination and communication

[unborn tide]

How easy is it to learn/fight in though? Like would just setting up a raid in here be good enough for me to go through it to get the pack?

[stiff cedar]

get a decently rolled red dps build, wait for someone to post "LFG IH" in #lfg-raid-pc, join their voice channel and let them know it's your first time

with any luck your group will know what they're doing, help you figure it out, and it'll be a breeze

[unborn tide]

How possible is it to learn with a tank build?

[stiff cedar]

there are a few roles in the raids that want a tank build but generally they require knowledge of raid mechanics to run them

in any case your group will welcome you with open arms if you're red dps

[unborn tide]

If I learn them before hand via videos is that something that's decent enough? I ask because I want to learn to tank end game eventually anyways.

[stiff cedar]

sure, maybe? just make sure to let them know you're new

[unborn tide]

Alright

Thanks!

Also what are some places I can farm the tartagrade armour exotic?

[stiff cedar]

anywhere with chest piece/body armor targeted loot

[unborn tide]

Awesome thanks

[tiny granite]

How come I don't see drone/turret builds with the Memento?

[stiff cedar]

because there are better options

[narrow kraken]

Does the division battle pass work like other games? Where you can make your $ back and buy next one?

[grand nebula]

it does not

[narrow kraken]

Do I need to do anything specific for The Dark Winter SMG to drop, it's SMG loot area on the south dark zone area and no luck so far after 4 hours

[grand nebula]

rng

clear landmarks nonstop and luck

[narrow kraken]

can I craft perfect mods? or are they drop specific? crafted a lot with no luck so far

[inner tendon]

Same with Dark Winter, it's all RNG.
Players with thousands of hours don't even have more than a couple of perfect Mods.

[grand nebula]

you can, its just extremely rare

like, giga extremely rare

[burnt pine]

Do mortar turrets draw aggro just like assault turrets?

[grand nebula]

anything that damages enemies can draw aggro

[burnt pine]

So it's a good idea to throw it somewhere away from you to improve your survivability, yeah?

As opposed to mounting it on top of the cover you're shooting from?

[grand nebula]

well it will rarely draw aggro fom you if youre shooting since it shoots very slow

the damage profile is very spiky

so it doesnt keep aggro very long

so it doesnt really matter much

[burnt pine]

About the stats screen at the end of missions: in a scenario where you have multiple team wipes, does it count the damage done pre-wiping also in the final damage tally or only from the bit where you didn't wipe?

[grand nebula]

it would count all the damage

but dont rely on the end stat screen, honestly outside of mission time, all the numbers are kinda irrelevant

[stiff cedar]

^ I wish people listened to this more often

[burnt pine]

Asking because I had a theory about a certain confrontational person who had team wipes and yet posts stats screens as evidence of invincibility.

[grand nebula]

anyone who posts stat screens as evidence of anything is a cringe lord

[stiff cedar]

nah man check out my K/D

[grand nebula]

you can do 99% of the damage and a teammate kills the dude and takes the kill

[stiff cedar]

skill issue

[marble shadow]

is there only one difficulty for raids?

[stiff cedar]

well, there's discovery and normal

[grand nebula]

tourist mode and normal

[stiff cedar]

normal is basically heroic difficulty.. discovery is probably normal or hard, haven't played it myself

it's not really worth playing them on discovery

[inner tendon]

obligatory: Discovery mode also removes the options for the fun loot, some of the challenge, but does have matchmaking.
Think of it like a "i dont know how to google a guide" mode.

#lfg-raid-pc for when you wanna try a real one.

[stiff cedar]

discovery mode changes a lot more than just add difficulty but I can't remember the changes exactly

I know that IH is kind of seeded

on discovery

[inner tendon]

Yeah that was the "some of the challenges" part.

[grand nebula]

it completely trivializes most fights

[stiff cedar]

yeah lol

[grand nebula]

removes nearly all if not all mechanics depending on fights

[marble shadow]

oh ok

thanks for the answers again, i just did my first iron horse, the train one, seemed ok, good group i guess

[grand nebula]

on discovery or normal?

[marble shadow]

normal i believe, i got a ravenous is that from normal

[inner tendon]

yep! Discovery mode can't drop the exclusive Exotics.

[grand nebula]

congratz

[stiff cedar]

first raid already huh? grats

[marble shadow]

was high key scared honestly, i joined the group and people were like SHD 4000

im here at my 135 ✌️

[grand nebula]

youre leveling crit chance on the watch right?

[marble shadow]

sure am

[grand nebula]

good man

[marble shadow]

just moved some things around, now i have 3 providence, 1 ceska, 1 grupo, 1 overlord (to try with ravenous) 58.4% chc 162% chd

just looking at the ravenous talent like huh!? gotta play in some weird left right left right rhythm

[inner tendon]

Yeah its weird, you gotta shift the way you play to get it to work, but it's interesting.

[marble shadow]

my previous: bullet king ratatatatatatatata but sadly it doesnt seem like it's gonna cut it in raids, so im trying to "git gud"

[inner tendon]

As always, I'mma just throw out the "FMJ is nice" thing.

[tulip fiber]

I understood that reference. Even being on Xbox.

[marble shadow]

does health keep going up with SHD?

[inner tendon]

It's helpful in the same way that technically speaking, stapling a tissue to your shirt makes it waterproof.

[marble shadow]

and also is it actually significant because - oh

yeah i saw mine was only at.. +4k ish

even if it was 40k... not too significant

OK another question: what's the diff between MG5 and infantry MG5?

[inner tendon]

The usual difference between the same model guns with different names is mod slots/minor stat variation.

[stiff cedar]

the mg5 has very slightly more damage whereas infantry mg5 has an additional mod slot, I think?

[marble shadow]

oh shoot! didnt even realise

[inner tendon]

It's to the point where you barely notice though, and I'd take the more mod slots over it.

[stiff cedar]

oh yeah absolutely

[inner tendon]

its underbarrel right? 100% Infantry in that case.

[stiff cedar]

that additional mod slot is an easy +5% chc

[marble shadow]

damn, the good one i have is normal mg5.. already has fast hands and max dtooc

SIGH

[stiff cedar]

what's the infantry got?

[marble shadow]

i'll dm

[inner tendon]

hey its so minor that it's not worth throwing away, just use what you like.

e.g. I use the socom over the classic because I like the firing style more.

[stiff cedar]

^ personal preference matters more than a slight statistical edge

[marble shadow]

how does reload speed bonus in fast hands work? 4% reload speed, up to a max of 40 stacks so 160%... im so confused

the infantry mg5 has 5.2sec reload time which is pretty hefty, but is fast hands gonna do a lot for that? because strained is lookin real tempting

sorry if this is more build advice

[stiff cedar]

out of curiosity do you have any reload speed mods or reload speed watch levels?

[marble shadow]

oh, yes i do, not using it though, i have +20% reload speed for the ammunition belt but i opted for +50 rounds

so the 20% gets it down from 5.2sec to 4.4sec

none on SHD*

[grand nebula]

After 1k it's only 3 hp per level

[marble shadow]

ew that is disgusting

[inner tendon]

it is infinite.

[stiff cedar]

I'm wondering why your mg5 has 5.2s base?

[marble shadow]

is that not normal? is my mg5 a bit dumb

[stiff cedar]

to answer your question yes fast hands will do a lot for it, it's generally a better dps talent than strained (mg5 has a small mag for a lmg)

with the +50 rounds mag you could go strained reasonably, though

[inner tendon]

oh if you're gonna use the mg5, make sure you throw on the biggest mag you can find.

its from Gunner, iirc. +50 rounds.

[stiff cedar]

I don't have an mg5 myself but according to the sheet the mg5 has a 5.6s reload time

[marble shadow]

yeah i think bringing it to 100 mag sounds amazing tbh, yep gunner spec, but see i think because they're both stacking talents, either way i'd cap the stacks i think? but what the hell does 160% reload speed mean

[grand nebula]

Reload caps at 1 second

[marble shadow]

also i just realised strained is "for every 0.5s you are firing" - doesnt even need to hit a target? lol

oh my god, you're telling me i could bring down infantry mg5 reload time from 5.2s to 1s by just using fast hands!?

that'd be HUUUUGE dps

[stiff cedar]

no, your reload speed at 160% with 5.2s base would go down to 2s I think? eph will tell me if I am wrong

[marble shadow]

in my head im like... 20% mod gets me 0.8s off, so 160% should get me 0.8s x 8? 🤣

[grand nebula]

Cba doing the math on mobile but reload speed works like haste

[foggy needle]

yup this, reload speed would be 2s (5.2 base reload / 2.6 reload speed = 2)

can also use steady handed (not with mg5 though) to remove reload totally or use Ninja bike, and use a dps weapon talent.

[inner tendon]

still, 2s on a gun with 100 rounds isn't half bad.

[foggy needle]

yup 😄

Ninja Bike my absolute fav with LMG though 🤤. that feeling of Mag dump, then vault into more endless daka daka from instant reload 😄

[stiff cedar]

so if that was right, then tell me if all this is right:

100% reload speed reduction = half of 5.2 [twice as fast] = (2.6s) (2.6 difference from 5.2)
200% reload speed reduction = 1/3 of 5.2 [three times as fast] = (1.73s) (0.87 difference from 2.6)

which is why higher reload speed/skill haste has those diminishing returns @marble shadow

[marble shadow]

what is ninja bike?

[foggy needle]

exotic knee pads

[stiff cedar]

they're exotic kneepads that reload your weapon when you vault or do a cover-to-cover

[foggy needle]

Yup those are correct (just make sure you are using BASE reload speed of weapon, since reload speed is additive). IE Fast hands + watch + xyz source of reload then factor in base reload.

[foggy needle]

this BUT also grant 25% bonus armor too.

[inner tendon]

MSV needs to give us a Div3 so we can finally complete half of the Ninja set.
my vote: NinjaBoots. Give you extra sprint speed at the cost of no armour regen during movement.

[marble shadow]

ok that makes sense to me, definitely worth it to basically halve the reload time from 5sec, and also confirms it’s well worth it to do +50 mag as opposed to 20% reload speed

[grand nebula]

Very nice sigg, youl pass your 10th grade exam with no sweat

[stiff cedar]

thank you I try

div2 the only reason I've ever used anything beyond basic addition and subtraction in the entirety of my (short) life

outside of school anyway

[grand nebula]

Indeed

Its the last time i had to employ statistics knowledge

[foggy needle]

Mag pouch for LMG depends on build and LMG. ROF pouch very strong as well as reload speed, and of course bigger pouch too of course; just depends.

[stiff cedar]

I never want to look at another null hypothesis again

gluca, what's your chd at for your mg5?

[marble shadow]

ninja bike sounds amazing though, is it a red exotic?

[stiff cedar]

or sorry gonjon

[foggy needle]

yes its an exotic

[stiff cedar]

exotics are always red

unless you're colorblind

in which case best of luck to you

[marble shadow]

nooo i mean stats

[stiff cedar]

yeah, all red attributes

[marble shadow]

also i go with gluc for most of discord but its ok whatever works

[foggy needle]

its WD + chc and chd on ninja bike

[stiff cedar]

gonjon hits different

[marble shadow]

i think my chd was at 150ish with it

i just hopped into bed bc apparently time is a thing and its now 2am

[grand nebula]

Wow

Imagine not being in gmt +0

Best time zone

[nimble spruce]

eh, BST is the place to be

better weather than GMT

[grand nebula]

🤔

[marble shadow]

is +0 UK?

greenwich

[nimble spruce]

yeah, but only in winter

[grand nebula]

Uk and some other cooler countries

[inner tendon]

imagine being 10 hours behind the best timezone.

how's it going, past-boy?

[marble shadow]

past boy 🤣

[narrow kraken]

what happens if my inventory mail box is full and i keep extracting items in DZ ? do I lose them? to I get them back after I make space?

[tulip fiber]

It won’t let you extract, if you’re full in the mailbox.

[vague onyx]

Hi. I read that "exclusive Exotics do not drop in Discovery mode." in raids. Is that true? So I need to complete Iron Horse normal for the regulus pistol I assume.

[foggy needle]

correct

Exclusive raid drops ONLY drop in normal mode.

[vague onyx]

I don't know why we can't matchmaking in normal raid mode but allowed only in discovery mode.

that'll be pain.

[edgy shard]

Neither

A lot of backlash against the idea of it too

Probably because people who have done it like the increased exclusivity that a lack of matchmaking gives it

[grand nebula]

because its high level content intended for coordinated teams

[edgy shard]

Yes

Though introduction of matchmaking wouldnt affect this

While it's not ideal there is no harm in a matchmaking option

[grand nebula]

its not about affecting, its just a part of how this should work, its part of the effort of raiding

[edgy shard]

See what I mean about this exclusivity thing

[vague onyx]

So, for the first timers, which build I should pick? I have couple builds I can choose of;
a skill build around turret and drone +capacitor,
a crit build for chameleon and dark winder,
a headshot build for mantis,
EP + Vile mask status build with scorpio shotgun.

[grand nebula]

world is your oyster

[grand nebula]

its not about exclusivity, its about maintaining aspects of effort to atleast some part of the game

[edgy shard]

Depends on your preferred play style haplo

[vague onyx]

I feel safer with skill and headshot build since I can cover in distance; EP +vile shines when you know where do they spawn and I don't feel safe with that. Crit is fun, still cover is needed from mid distance. I watched couple videos and all people were running with "reviver hive" so I think picking a reviver hive is must. And giving up the turret for the reviver hive would drop my dps but with the marksman rifle, it wouldn't. I guess I'll take the headshot build.

[grand nebula]

if youre looking at a first build, either the drone turret or the normal red rifle/AR setup will get you thru the game

reviver is a hit or miss

if you start using it as a crutch, get rid of it

[foggy needle]

Also dropping 1 skill for reviver hive on a turret/drone skill build not only drops your dps but also drops your safety as well since both those skills acts as personal tanks on top of their big dps.
Even with going Headshot damage on the side, its not enough to make up for that massive dps drop.

reviver hive works best on NON skill builds, but even then IMHO its very meh.

[vague onyx]

so, "gitgud enough to not pick a reviver hive" is our motto I guess.

[foggy needle]

well yes and no

can also do crusader shield on dps builds too 😄 very strong for extra defense. not meant for tanking though (unless in very niche group tank build)

[edgy shard]

I run reviver solo for a dps build

Not because I suck but because I have a free slot and it's a nice failsafe

Especially when there's directives like special ammo

[foggy needle]

decoy, shield, heal chem are all better imho

also turret

[edgy shard]

I run shield for cheesing scope if I'm doing legendary

[narrow kraken]

is the legendary difficulty something you can carry? 😄

[grand nebula]

reviver is great as an agressive option to know when to push in and kill some important dudes and backup or when youre doing really hard stuff as a failsafe
always running it as a crutch is yikes

[grand nebula]

yes but if you have to carry, youre in a terrible place

[narrow kraken]

yeah just recently started and was wondering if I can find someone to carry for weekly exotic chest

(to carry me)

[grand nebula]

if you make a drone turret build you can afk thru it just fine

via simple matchmaking

[vague onyx]

I've tried the one shot pistol build that runs with headhunter talent but hollywood event wasn't good to try that out imo. So I thought I could try with regulus pistol which has explosive thing that can disable hollywood event protection. But raid thingy seems hard to find a group, so I don't know how long it would take to get my regulus. I'll try that build later.

[grand nebula]

it takes atleast 2 to 3 weeks to get regulus on a single character

[narrow kraken]

If you collect all 40 items from this past event (items that seem now are in the store?cannot confirm they are all in the store tho...) can you still get the diver uniform ?

🤔

[willow gale]

lul

[foggy needle]

wrong button..... >.<

[willow gale]

nice one azur

[foggy needle]

nothing to see here... move along 🤣

[narrow kraken]

that was awkward 😄

regardless anyone got any idea on my question?

[foggy needle]

since i was rude and messed up. any one know ^^

[shrewd orbit]

I've gotten old event rewards when buying different cosmetics with textiles if that's what you mean.
I can't speak for this specific outfit though.

[marble shadow]

oh no…. so which drone? just the normal shooty one for even more dps?

[grand nebula]

for what build?

[marble shadow]

dps

im trying rifle / lmg now

[grand nebula]

i personally use pulse with hive, using hive to burst stuff down agressively and then when they down you revive and play passive
but if you want to learn how to play without it, you could swap to shield or a turret or decoy for aggro

demolisher drone is galaxy brain move too

[narrow kraken]

can i completly hide my mask?

[marble shadow]

demolisher drone oml, that’s huge galaxy brain

[shrewd orbit]

Yes. Go to your mask, under options it'll have an option for always off.

[unborn tide]

Where would I get a summit acsess key?

[foggy needle]

It's random hidden in each section of 3 floors. So look for yellow beam on floor in those 3 floors. Never on boss floors

[unborn tide]

Hmm, I wonder why I didn't get mine then. I wen't from 21 to 26 and grabbed every bit of lute but I can't seem to open the boss. I coulda swore I even grabbed the key too

Hm yeah I guess it wasn't a summit key I grabbed

[foggy needle]

Some times door to chest room is locked with yellow box, shoot that to open room.

If your at box but cannot open it, it's cause you didn't find key

[unborn tide]

Do I need to open them for those exotic pieces?

I don't want to know what the exotic is I'd rather just find out myself but I want to check that I'm on track

............ why would you tell me?

The name I mean

I just said though that I wanted to find out what it was on my own.

That's fine, I'm sure I'll get it eventually

It's all good

At least it wasn't a major spoiler and I'm still just going to not look up whatever that is. Just gonna go through summit

[slender garden]

So if i buy caches with stars i cant share contents of said caches even if i buy them while in group?

[unborn tide]

Do watch levels carry across characters?

[willow gale]

kinda, youll be at the same watch level if u make a new character but u get to re put them in

wow does that sounds werid and kinda sus

does that make sense?

[unborn tide]

Lol. Ok, so once I re get the watch I get all my levels at once?

[willow gale]

yes.

[unborn tide]

Aight bet

[edgy shard]

Worth

[balmy ore]

How to do u get hard wired mask ? I don't seem to it from anywhere

[edgy shard]

Farm hardwired

[balmy ore]

Well then I guess I am unlucky cause I M farming targeted loot

[edgy shard]

That's your best bet really

If you don't have the blueprint

[fallow inlet]

@balmy ore check to see if there's a requirement for it

[edgy shard]

There is not

[fallow inlet]

Ok wasn't shure

[vague onyx]

Hello. Is it possible to increase stability over the max? I have two assault rifles; one (Glory Daze) has "perfect near sighted" talent (+100% stability at the cost of -35% range) doesn't even move an inch even without any single mod. And I modded another assault rifle (Invisible hand) and maxed it's stability with mods (because it had more damage) but it's not stable, keep moving to right as long as shooting.

[grand nebula]

100% stability only removes vertical recoil

horizontal recoil will always remain if the weapon has any

and the aug line has a lot of it

[marble shadow]

omg. TIL

[solid sky]

i’ve just finished the warlords of ny and was wondering if anyone could suggest a support kinda build? preferably with some sort of smg (sorry if that sounds dumb my div2 game sense is terrible)

[grand nebula]

Depends on what type of supporting youre looking for

Smg builds dont really mix with support builds

[solid sky]

probably like a healing type build, i don’t really mind what gun if smgs dont work

[grand nebula]

If you like healing, #td2-build-advice has a pinned spreadsheet, in the hub tab theres a guide for healing 101

It will tell you all the pieces and you just gotta hit up the targeted loot

I advise going for the high end variant of the build, the yellow one

[solid sky]

gotcha, i appreciate it!

[marble shadow]

is healing difficult? vague question i know but like generally in terms of high APM / awareness / etc

[stiff cedar]

kinda depends, restorer hive healing build you just pop the restorer hive down and it's up to your teammates to go get heals

chem launcher you need higher awareness to shoot them with it

[marble shadow]

and also, do people solo content as a healer? or is it like interchangeable with an offensive skill build and you just swap out the skills or something

[inner tendon]

if you really are desperate for healing, just use Heal Chem yeah.

[inner tendon]

Soloing really doesn't need a healer, you just need to play more tactically.

[stiff cedar]

you can't swap loadouts mid-combat so "interchangeably" is meaningless

I'm not gonna change all 8 pieces of gear and skills to heal up real quick

[inner tendon]

cover-to-cover, shields, or just not being where the bullets are. It's all part of Soloing.

[stiff cedar]

oh I think I know what you mean

on certain skill builds sure you could use skill damage and skill repair as a secondary attribute and swap out one of your skills for a chem launcher to heal up real quick if you wanted to

[marble shadow]

no i mean like if i had a character and went full heals, do i need to gather up a different set to solo decently?

or can u solo content with the same gear

[stiff cedar]

depends on the content.. generally speaking yes, but it's not worth it

you could solo challenging/heroic with a combat medic build but it would probably take nearly twice as long

[grand nebula]

Nah, its pretty chill and fun

[marble shadow]

thank you!

if it’s chill and fun i might try to make that my second set, will once again refer to ✨ the pinned messages ✨

what does it mean when you look at your weapons list in the inventory, and the ammo type symbol is coloured orange instead of white?

[stiff cedar]

pretty sure orange just means it's the same type of ammo as your currently equipped weapon

or, in the case of the inventory screen, the weapon you selected

[marble shadow]

yeah, ok, seems to check out 🤣 im so sorry for these dumb questions

thank you again

[stiff cedar]

well honestly I didn't even know there was an ammo icon until your question made me look

[marble shadow]

that's how i figure out what type they are quickly without looking back and forth to the details section

another Q: is there such thing as raid lockouts? can you repeatedly do raids as many times as you want back to back?

[tulip fiber]

Yes, on the second one

[inner tendon]

he means yes to the 2nd one.

[marble shadow]

damn, i bet burnout is a common occurrence in this game

[inner tendon]

It's certainly a common enough drop.

ba-dum-tish.

[balmy ore]

test subject or capacitor ? which one is better

[tulip matrix]

Capacitor if you can keep the stacks, test if you can't

[foggy needle]

both are great. test subject lets you run scorpio though.

[fallow inlet]

@marble shadow today is the day to do raids

It's reset day

Morning AZ

[marble shadow]

damn its already midnight for me 😭

theres only IH and DH right?

[inner tendon]

Yep, just the 2.

[narrow kraken]

If I make a 2nd character, will I have the same watch level on it?

[tulip fiber]

Once you complete the final mission, yes.

[edgy shard]

Ez mats

[maiden anchor]

i deconstructed Bighorn by mistake. can i farm it again?

[edgy shard]

Of course

[inner tendon]

Yep! From any Named Legendary Enemy.

(includes Summit bosses that have names and Floor 100 final room)

[maiden anchor]

uh alright. since i bought the blueprint is not be an issue right?

[inner tendon]

The blueprint is for reconfiguring it's % rolls, so you still need a copy.

[maiden anchor]

ya reconfigure, ok thank you

[violet fog]

Whats the best alternative to The Hollow Man?

[edgy shard]

What build and what content

[violet fog]

Savage wolverine DPS build, heroic and legendary

[edgy shard]

Crit?

Your only other alternatives really are coyotes or a brandset more useful than yaahl

[violet fog]

Have a coyote so will give that a try, thanks

[foggy needle]

hollow man isnt meta so any mask

depends on what build you are running too but Coyotes is best in slot for crit builds (99%)

[hallow grove]

the old hollowman was close to op. the new one meh

coyotes i agree is great for dps

[unkempt oxide]

I got a question

[foggy needle]

ask away

[unborn tide]

Can sets change what their 4 stack bonus is?

[edgy shard]

No

But the backpack and chest talents enhance it

[unborn tide]

Ok so I'm really confused then

[edgy shard]

What you see is what you get

[unborn tide]

Because yesterday it said ongoing directive was a set that replaced my armour kits with a infinite use item on 20sec cooldown that restored bonus armour. Today however Ongoing directives set bonus changed to do something with hollow points

[edgy shard]

That was system corruption

Different set

Easy mistake

OD symbol is circular whereas SysCor is a bunch of hexagons I believe

[unborn tide]

Can you set that as targeted loot in summit or no?

[true siren]

OD yes, SC no

[edgy shard]

Been meaning to try syscor

[unborn tide]

Aah ok, where is sc found then?

[edgy shard]

DZ

There are blueprints but you'll need to wait until a season 1 repeat I believe

[unborn tide]

Just any darkzone chest then?

[edgy shard]

Or boss

[narrow kraken]

Does anyone got a lower level character with worlds I-V and have the following missions active :

• Capitol Building Invaded
• Roosevelt Island Invaded

Just need an invite to your session. Pretty please.

[edgy shard]

Out of curiosity what for

[narrow kraken]

to get the mats for Nemesis

[edgy shard]

Whys it gotta be low level char

[narrow kraken]

you get world tiers I-V only at 30?

arent they gone at 40?

[edgy shard]

Yes but why does it matter

[narrow kraken]

The thing is world tiers afaik can get different invaded strongholds

so instead of waiting weeks for the rotation for mats for Nemesis

Just find someone who has it

I might be wrong on this but seen this on Widdz, he is legit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLz-e8f7_a0

[willow gale]

its 2 years old

[narrow kraken]

if world tiers have different invasions ,it does not change anything

[edgy shard]

I see I see

Won't you need every world tier

[narrow kraken]

afaik you can adjust world tiers?

[foggy needle]

Just FYI only the 1st part can be looted during world tiers 1-4 as its any difficulty. The other parts require at least normal+ so WT5 or level 40. And you have to wait for invaded rotation which is RNG.

[narrow kraken]

WT5 si the equivalent of normal?

not sure I follow -_-

[foggy needle]

Wt5 is endgame of base game, so you can put it on difficulty normal or higher there.

[real kernel]

Guys my d50 is dealing the exact same amount of HS damage wether i have 160% or 250% hs damage, why is that? is it capped or its a bug

[foggy needle]

no cap, no bug, and without seeing you testing conditions, hard to answer.

[supple bane]

on the first character what is the minimum weeks required to get regulus? i assumed 3 because 1 to get the fi and fb donate project, the 2nd to get onto the high end donation and the 3rd for the parts but today i finished the fi and fb donation and it immediately went to the high end donation even though reset had already happened

[marble shadow]

what is this regulus i keep hearing about

[narrow kraken]

how many times you can optimized a weapon for example? Only once?

[supple bane]

a sniper disguised as a pistol

[marble shadow]

exotic pistol with huge optimal range?

[supple bane]

you can optimise every stat but once done you cant recalibrate that slot

[supple bane]

idk the exact range it just does so much hsd

[marble shadow]

oh shit i didnt know this, thanks

[narrow kraken]

can exotics have stats recalibrated, like memento , can I remove armor for example into something else?

[supple bane]

also you cant learn the optimised stat so dont optimise thinking you can full out your library

[supple bane]

no. only optimise exotics

[narrow kraken]

just oen more question, the exotic reconfigure, what does it do?

I presume it re-rolls stats on your weapon?

[supple bane]

it rerolls the stat values but doesnt change what they are

on the first character what is the minimum weeks required to get regulus? i assumed 3 because 1 to get the fi and fb donate project, the 2nd to get onto the high end donation and the 3rd for the parts but today i finished the fi and fb donation and it immediately went to the high end donation even though reset had already happened

[tulip fiber]

About 2-3. Depending on how long to get the high end items

[true siren]

the projects just go on if you finish them

[supple bane]

so i can get the regulus parts project today if i really tried but i wont be able to complete it because of weekly boss loot

[true siren]

the "time" is usually the ironworks materials, which are once a week

[true siren]

yes

[supple bane]

i had them as soon as i started it because of farming summit for the non ih exclusive gear

whatever i already had i deconned

[true siren]

ironworks mats not FI and FB materials

[supple bane]

ig i got lucky on my first ever run because its only been 1 week since my first run

ok so at minimum i have 1 week left

neato dorito

and the regulus parts are guaranteed on first run of the week (week starting on tuesdays) right?

[true siren]

yes

[supple bane]

ok

[grand nebula]

quests arent weekly locked, just as aspect said, the limiting factor is ironworks

[supple bane]

mk. dodge city and regulus. is it just me or does it seem a little too op?

[grand nebula]

once every 30 seconds

[supple bane]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[silk glen]

How do you buy stuff from the vendors outside of dzs

[supple bane]

Get dz resouces. Can be found in blue boxes within the dz and deconstructing contaminated loot and then extracting

[lost cape]

Hunter related question, recently I've killed all hunters but i doubt its all. to the best of my knowlodge I should be done with all the DC hunters (non DLC) because i got every mask (besides the death mask, weird bug) and have opened the Ivory crate. I've noticed though with the Warlord hunters a lot of the mask are missing on the wall and I only have 6/8 keys. I don't know whether or not this is just related to RNG or if im missing any hunters.

Heres my current mask list though (Only warlord masks/the masks that show up in Haven)
Angel, Camo, Carbon, Divide, Drama, Drip, Psycho, and Weirdo

Any info would be great as im trying to get all the hunters I can

[fallow inlet]

@supple bane as far as the regulos goes once you've done all 4 projects for Iron horse(donated stuff),then you get the 5th project which is the pistol.That has to be done on a fresh weekly raid.

Hope that helps

Do you really have to press three times to launch a sticky bomb in PvP, is there a faster way?

[stiff cedar]

I just double tap? unless it works different in pvp for some reason

[soft fjord]

You double tap but then the bomb doesn't explode

It just sits there

[stiff cedar]

double tap will shoot the sticky where you're aiming without needing to pull it out and aim

one more tap will detonate it

[soft fjord]

Exactly, so three taps in total?

Real annoying

[inner tendon]

is 3 taps really an issue?

[stiff cedar]

"real annoying" lol

you can reduce it to two taps if you pull it out and aim so be my guest

[soft fjord]

That's still three taps in total

[inner tendon]

As far as we know, there's no way to quick double-tap it, the game is automated enough already.

[stiff cedar]

tap sticky key -> lmb -> tap sticky key

[inner tendon]

in all my hours ive genuinely never heard of someone complaining that 3 taps is too much.

[stiff cedar]

it's actually kind of baffling

[soft fjord]

In other words, there's no faster way, I thought all the PvPers rebinded or some shit

[stiff cedar]

I mean you could rebind it

[inner tendon]

I guess you could use a scroll wheel.

[stiff cedar]

yeah, or a side mouse button and just spam click that or somethin

[soft fjord]

Is macro banned in this game

[inner tendon]

They are not "banned" exactly, but their inclusion is up to the devs.
So one allowed today might be banned in a months time.

this sounds more like something that'd veer towards playing the game for you tho, which is a big no-no.

[stiff cedar]

technically they are.. something something cheating and macros give unfair advantages

you're probably not gonna get banned for em though

[inner tendon]

its deffo a grey area, same as changing crosshairs.
I'd just avoid them.

[supple bane]

You can set it to instant cast iirc.

[inner tendon]

Self-promotion really isn't allowed here, the most you can do is maybe try a different server or just promoting only in-game maybe.

[narrow kraken]

On heroic, out in the world , I'm getting a lot of purple items, a lot more compared to Challenging difficulty, for example...is this normal?

most chests I open on Heroic in NYC, in the world, are full of purple items

[willow gale]

chests are always dog shit

[edgy shard]

Open world chests don't scale iirc

Unless they changed it

[inner tendon]

That is correct, the LZ chests do not scale.
the reason is that if they did, people could just go open a bunch of them with barely firing a single bullet.

[rigid pier]

How do raids compare to legendary missions in terms of challenge, fun and reward?

[inner tendon]

Oh Raids are Heroic diff.
as for the rest, they 're great fun! Quite tricky if you're new, but just have a decent DPS build and listen to the Raid Leader (and tell them you're new) and you'll be solid.

[foggy needle]

Rewards from Raid are only for the raid exclusives exotics and FB + FI chest and pack. Since its not target loot, its not for loot farming. As for the challenge, it depends on your group. Can be a cake walk or complete pain in the but with bad group.

[rigid pier]

so the most challenging PVE content is legendary missions?

[stiff cedar]

no, that would be kenly college

the challenge there is to not fall asleep

[edgy shard]

Raids are more difficult than legendaries

[foggy needle]

kenly college pretty tough yea but loot sucks QQ

[edgy shard]

There are mechanics, they just require a lot of communication and coordination

[stiff cedar]

raids in a decent group are miles easier than leg

of course the same can be said for leg..

[foggy needle]

yea leg with good group is miles easier then raid.

[rigid pier]

yeah I get how that can complicate things 🙂

[edgy shard]

I would say raids are more difficult for sure

For a new players

[stiff cedar]

they don't even really require communication and coordination, if everyone knows what they're doing the most you'll need is a few sentences in chat

[edgy shard]

Many will say they're 'easy' or whatever but these people have done them multiple times with good groups

[stiff cedar]

some people do raids perfectly fine with 0 talking lol

[edgy shard]

Yes some people

But sounds like warbll is not one of those people just yet

[stiff cedar]

the reason they require communication is because there will almost always be newer players who don't fully understand it

[edgy shard]

Exactly

[stiff cedar]

so they'll need help learning the ropes

[edgy shard]

Whereas legendarys are just killing the enemies

Are we not on the same side here

[foggy needle]

Id say overall Raids are harder. Legs can be afk cleared with 4 turret/drones while Raids cannot be afk cleared 🤣

[edgy shard]

IH more difficult than DH too imo

Less room for dead weight

[stiff cedar]

if you can afk clear leg with turret/drone and not want to uninstall the game afterwards you are a stronger person than I

[inner tendon]

Can confirm, Raids are 100% doable with no talking whatsoever.

[edgy shard]

With the right team comp

[inner tendon]

nah, using LFG.

[edgy shard]

You know what I mean

New players need help

Though you can carry a couple through DH for sure

[stiff cedar]

DH you need at least 4 people who know what they're doing for razorback

[edgy shard]

I assume its a new player who originally asked the question anyway

[stiff cedar]

so.. theoretically you could get through the raid with 4 people

would it be painful? probably

[inner tendon]

not really, just need to explain what they're doing before the encounter starts.

[edgy shard]

Not sure why you're fighting me on this

[inner tendon]

lol wat

"fighting you"? Are you feeling alright?

[rigid pier]

thx - I'll have to give raids a try some day - sounds like it could be fun. Need something other to play than summit and legendary missions anyway

[inner tendon]

maybe take a peek at a guide before you do, and hop on down to #td2-raid-discussions to ask any questions you need.

[stiff cedar]

the best thing you can do for your first raid is finding a patient group who don't mind helping a newcomer along

which ideally would be every group, but most will have to suffice

just don't join raids that ask for "exp only" or "kwtd only"

[foggy needle]

Fun fact, DH has been fully cleared with a 5 man team lol 😛 razor back was a little tough for them but they did it. They posted a YT while back (was WONY time).

[stiff cedar]

no key no loot are also good to avoid for your first time lol

was it only possible with 5? could they have dropped it to 4?

[foggy needle]

they didnt try 4

[inner tendon]

hacking the terminals and the turrets, seems like you'd need 5.

[stiff cedar]

ah

[edgy shard]

Does anyone remember the guy who used to solo the div1 incursions

Back in 1.3

Or solo them as far as he could

[stiff cedar]

you might be right rivens

maybe if they can kill boomer fast enough they'll avoid the phase where it asks for all 4 computers

[inner tendon]

actually there seems to be quite a few ppl that did it. There's a few threads if ya google.

[edgy shard]

Probably

But I remember watching his videos back then and being amazed

[balmy ore]

Do I have to do random bouties or area specific to complete manhunt

[inner tendon]

Gotta do the Bounties that have the yellow "Manhunt" icon on them.
it's easy to see.

[balmy ore]

Okay

[jolly shell]

can TDI Kard Custom pistol drop in summit if i target loot pistols ?

[true siren]

no

[jolly shell]

where can i farm it

[true siren]

its a dark zone exclusive, so dark zone

or, if you dont like PVP, named caches can drop it

it might be in this season's pass, too

[jolly shell]

named caches from where lvlin up ?

[true siren]

global events are the easiest, level up/do challenges to get stars, use those stars to get named caches

[silk glen]

Can you upgrade gear score on armor

For masks, chest piece, etc.

[vague onyx]

Can I get "Providence - The Gift" backpack from any providence targeted loot location?

[foggy needle]

Nope, it's a DZ drop only

[vague onyx]

that is...

[foggy needle]

Also a RNG reward from named item rewards, like all other items.

[vague onyx]

I didn't like the idea of forcing people to pvp.

I'll just pass

[foggy needle]

Yes for base game, viva increasing the rolls value for WT 5 items. But fyi gear score was removed in dlc

[silk glen]

Ok. Thanks

[jolly shell]

what invaded drops the barrel for the nemesis its the only thing im missing

i assume that landmarks in DZ drop the TDI Kard CUstom pistol right?

[silk glen]

What is endorsement? I got a notification after leveling up.

[jolly shell]

i just googled and it says capitol building stronghold on google

ight and the TDI Kard Custom pistol drops from DZ landmarks right?

what lol

[willow gale]

@true siren boonk

[narrow kraken]

okay i think something is wrong with my game....? i queued for every mission and not a single one i got a player after a few minutes

is this normal?

[willow gale]

yes

normal missions are always dead

[narrow kraken]

oh

[willow gale]

the only one ur gonna see ppl is lincoln

[narrow kraken]

oki ill try that

[willow gale]

youll want to start farming for a decent bulid

[narrow kraken]

i doo but i played literally the whole game solo and i wanna experience co op

[grand nebula]

missions are dead, thank the devs for the exciting oportunity to spend the rest of your play time in summit

[narrow kraken]

oh damn so ig ill just solo everything again haha

[marble shadow]

is DCD headquarters in white house or constitution hall..?

need 2 named enemy kills in white house but i have no idea how to get

[edgy shard]

White House is base of ops

[marble shadow]

i mean the white house zone* sorry

[edgy shard]

It's just the area around the white house

Got like 2 control points

[marble shadow]

yeah, i know where it is, but the DCD HQ mission is like right on the border, i was wondering if it counts as the white house zone or the constitution hall zone

[grand nebula]

the mission isnt in the WH area

only the entrance

[marble shadow]

oh... damn, ok thank you

is "mask" the correct targeted loot to set to get coyote's mask? or is it a particular brand

[twilit otter]

It's an exotic, it doesn't have a brand

Mask targeted loot is correct

[noble owl]

so i just reached level 30 on my account wt1, what now? i have the wony expansion should i do that? or farm wt?

[foggy needle]

Still at mid game. And have to be at wt5 to even goto wony

Power to WT5 then head to wony asap

[marble shadow]

^

[noble owl]

Thanks!

[narrow kraken]

where do i extract my gear? as in like taking talents out and stuff

[edgy shard]

To the right of the crafting station

Should be called the recalibration station or recalibration bench or soemthing

Where Inaya is

[narrow kraken]

whats it called? i only see optimization,recallibrate and recalibrate libary

whats it called to extract it to put it into my library i mean

[foggy needle]

Recal library

[edgy shard]

I'm sure it shouldnt take you too long to work it out

[narrow kraken]

omg thank u

i got it 🙂

so is 17000 armor the max on a gear?

and should i only extract max?

[icy depot]

@narrow kraken you can extract upto max

if you extract max once then you dont need to extract again

extract it from gears that are useless that you feel

[narrow kraken]

ohh okay

[foggy needle]

Finding max takes time, extracting high rolls until you find max is fine

[narrow kraken]

okay because i have max armor and max explosion resistance on 4 pieces of armor already

[foggy needle]

Also the table tells you what the max is.

[icy depot]

@narrow kraken do you want to fill library quick ?

[narrow kraken]

when the bar is like glowing yellow?

[foggy needle]

Yes. But it also lists the max (number on right of bar in library

[icy depot]

follow these steps

1. Switch to Legendary CP5 which gives you more gears and mox stats

2. Go DZ and kill every agents you see and extract

3. Go to Raid kill every Hunters

simple steps devs dont want you know

[edgy shard]

If you look at your screen I'm sure you'll find a lot of information

[narrow kraken]

not so easyy i just reached lvl 40 so i dont think im kitted out for any of those haha

[edgy shard]

He is trolling

[narrow kraken]

ohhh

uhm what exactly is a expedition? never did one

[icy depot]

@narrow kraken useless one

[narrow kraken]

wym

[edgy shard]

Is it kenly college?

[icy depot]

expedition is kenly

[edgy shard]

It's the least fun content in the game

To answer your question

[narrow kraken]

ohh

also is the side mission for the president worth doing?

[edgy shard]

Sure that's not bad

[icy depot]

yep

[narrow kraken]

oki doki

[icy depot]

did you done the secret mission yet ?

@narrow kraken the is a secret mission where you can find the audio log and Eagle bearer exotic in DZ, go to the Invaded DZ and find 3 named boss near the Drop box

they will give you quest talk to them u get corordinates for cache

[edgy shard]

Just ignore everythjng this person says basically

[icy depot]

These are best secret things it took me days to find these things

[wind solstice]

if anyone doing the hunters on NY apartements please invite, thanks. (I miss 1 from the 3, and hard to find group doing it)

[edgy shard]

Could always drop the difficulty and solo

[fallow inlet]

Eaglebearer is dark hours raid only

Ravenous and the regulos are Iron Horse raid only

Bighorn is legendary locked

[broken canyon]

Yes

[fallow inlet]

Yahall is dz only

It's a yellow gear set

[mossy apex]

are there new build requirements for DH now that the cap is 40? Returning player here
