I feel that, hence why I'm asking what I'd be missing without one. Considering just closing the one I occupy and get rid of the clan tag from showing in front of my username.
what Goose' said, it's actually rather useful overall.
Hmm, alright. Thanks for answering.
Hi guys! I am wondering if anyone knows why double space to roll is not working?
anyone know how rare it is to get an exotic drop on normal difficulty?
Just got some exotic kneepads after killing ridgeway on normal difficulty
Nah, there really doesn't seem to be a weight on Exotics unless you factor in Targeted Loot/special drops.
once got double NinjaKnees from a single normal Hyena Territory Control..
I got a BK on a normal run of tombs
Does a targeted loot area include it's missions as well? For example if the Civic Center has SMG targeted loot, does the mission The Tombs is included in SMG targeted loot, or just what it has displayed?
I presume that the mission are on a whole different loot table as it's displayed than the area it's located, but just want to be sure 🙂
Missions have their own targeted loot, for example, if Civic is SMG, The Tombs is going to be something other than SMG.
you can use the toggle at the bottom to find out where everything is
is it better to sell or dismantle? Just done the 30 floors of the summit for the exotic, now i have a load of legendaries and a few sets, dismantle or sell?
alright, thanks
Question- Do the Regulus parts drop from the Iron Horse bosses even if you've already cleared the raid once that week? (I haven't opened the chest at the end)
Bruh
Did Dark Winter appearance got chanced at some point ?
The one on the top is mine and the one on the bottom is one I found in a video
He’s using the gem, weapon camo
The Apartment is just a DZ/Conflict weapon right?
Or Named Item Caches, yeah.
thank you ❤️
its the skin from season 1
Can i Optimize every stat on a single piece of gear
Yes besides the talent
OK THANK YOU
OK GOOD LUCK
Lol
sorry ll cap lock
has anything changed since this april? took a break since then
gear/gameplay wise
you want someone to sum up 4 months of game time?
how can i get system corruption gear set ?
DZ exclusive gear set
What Odder said, or Legacy Caches/Conflict.
welp conflict it is , let the farm begin
Are you looking for using it in a specific build or?
i just saw a build of someone , looked pretty good so want to try it out
Well enjoy, just be warned that it's not exactly the greatest.
But fun counts for a lot.
what is not the greatest ? farm or the gear set
Sys Corr yeah, it doesn't really have any of the archetypes as a niche, it's more for fun than anything.
oh alright
is there a write up somewhere about multiplicative vs additive damage calcs in this game
idk still dont really know how to weigh/value - for example - dttooc vs dta vs rifle damage
or like… is it worth losing 3pc providence set to get contractors gloves and foxs prayer
i know there are the meta builds but i still wanna try to understand somehow
Azur posts about it whenever it's asked, next time you see him online just start talking about it lol.
oh ok thank you
game’s complicated as hell 🥴 im thinkin like damn isnt 8% dta preferable compared to yet another 15% chd added on top
Think of it like this: it's not just 15% CHD, it's also the other 2 bonuses and the stats you can roll.
If we're talking strictly about FMJ here, the build is Coyotes, Foxs, Grupo and 3x Provi.
DTA is actually less useful than you might think, since it only counts for enemies with a White Bar over their health bar. It does not count for physical plate armour that you can shoot off.
Yep, DTA only works on that white bar. So way less useful in PvE overall unless you're also using an LMG, but even then maybe.
where-as Fox's Prayer, since there's so few sources of DtooC you can safely add it on without worrying too much about diminishing returns.
base calculation goes something like: base weapon damage x (sum of weapon damage and specific weapon type damage) x (sum of total weapon damage) x (crit damage + headshot damage) x (damage to armour OR damage to health) x (damage to targets out of cover) x (amplified damage 1) x (amplified damage 2) etc
when it comes to things like contractors vs grupo, I prefer to test things in the range and see what ends up with the biggest numbers
DtA is useful for me as I main HH sniper, and it helps one-shot veterans/elites, which helps build HH stacks and therefore one-shot everything else, but in an AR build or something your priorities might be a bit different
I can never get into a high-end MMR build, just feels weird to me.
I've played most of the game like that, only recently started using AR builds, and only in missions
Aces all the way for me. Just feels cleaner.
I tried aces recently, worked well enough but I feel more comfortable in my usual build. Slightly less squishy too because Sawyers.
Oh I fully accept that Aces be squishy as all-hell, but that's half the fun for me. I want to be 5 miles away, removing heads.
also more crit (for backup weapon) and handling in high-end
Where-as Aces has literally 0 crit if you build it right. (beyond the default values)
however, WH is pretty vital to an Aces too. It's your "other" roll.
thanks for all the explanation guys i appreciate it
Guys can any help me I have some problems with the drop frame like crazy last two months it fine but today I down like 60fps I have rtx 2060 card
Does explosive dmg affect merciless/ruthless?
nope
Thanks
I've been trying to farm for an Eternal Gaze for a few days now, focusing on Rifle Targeted Loot. I looked up info beforehand but there's a lot of out-of-date stuff out there and I couldn't find anything reliable about it. Some said it was a Dark Zone only drop, some said it also drops in the Light Zone, which is it and is there a better way to go about farming this specific weapon?
everlasting gaze is a dz rifle which is exclusive to the dz. you can find it outside the dz in named caches but the chances are slim. you can farm the dz for it when the rifles are targeted, farm landmarks in the dz any time for dz caches or use named caches
I was afraid of that. Thank you. So another question then, where do you get named caches from?
you can get them from the events that happen periodically during the season rn you have about 1 week of the dusk league left where you can do certain stuff to get certain rewards
global events and some other events, and a few from season pass
Ah ok. Appreciate the answers
Starting tuesday there's an event running where you do "challenges" to get "stars". You also get a star every time you level up. With these stars you can buy named caches (cost is 8 stars each) from the "season vendor". Farm levels to get stars and buy those caches for a chance to get the wanted piece.
Event runs for a week. And the stars you don't use when the week is over are lost.
Oh that star thing sounds familiar. I'm checking the season page but I'm not sure how to tell how many I have or where to spend them.
At the season vendor. Run outside the white house and turn left, right outside in the public area it's on the right.
stars r for global events which starts next week
And you probably don't have any stars since the event is not running.
Oh okay, I misinterpreted the stars for those things in this weeks reward track. Those little star medal looking things. Okay.
No problem. Glad we got that settled for you. 😄
Appreciate y'all
Anytime buddy
And just to make it clear. When the event is "running" you need to activate it to get stars. You won't get stars if the event is not activated.
Does anyone know the player base of this game on PC?
only the devs do
lies, there's only 1 person moving very fast.
I want to get it but if theres nobody playing anymore then theres just no point.
Oh this is the "game ded" question again.
Game not dead, game alive. Getting more content before the end of the year.
im tempted to make a chat bingo but idk how
The centre square should be someone saying that they're tempted to make a chat bingo.
how do i type in chat on playstation?
Going from the RV channels right now there's at least 50+ playing it still 😄
Can badger drop on all pieces or only Chest backpack and kneepads ?
How do I matchmake and still be in my group?
All brandsets drop all pieces, any source telling you otherwise is outdated
Any tips for fighting free roam hunters? I’ve killed 10 of them in DC but that was before I took a break. I’m playing again and have a few half fleshed out builds but was wondering if there is something specific that works
Where are the other pieces of the exotic deagle at? I have the trigger mechanism
Thanks
can you clarify a bit?
some things are dz exclusives, some exotics can't drop until you've acquired them/gotten their blueprint
but without knowing what you're going for I couldn't tell ya
I mean targeted loot, I can't find the snipers targeted loot area on map today
ooh. yeah, map doesn't have enough stuff for every type of loot
make sure you check new york as well
if it's not on the map at all, you can always do summit
What can summit be custom targeted?
yeah
go to summit, open the map, and press r iirc
you can set it to whatever targeted loot you want, and it's playerside so everyone can have their own targeted loot in a group
Shit, I've been playing it as it is. Lol.
This game doesn't tell the important stuff
Thanks for the info
do we know what clothes the decoy wears?
it would be really funny to wear them to confuse people a little
@true siren bonk?
🔨
does it not just copy the outfit & loadout of the player who uses it?
I do like the idea of popping out in a DZ and just ADSing fixedly in one direction, see if you can get mistaken for a decoy that way. I suspect it wouldn't work well in practice though...
i just wanna have the same outfit
ah, so it is
I guess you'd need to create a new character if you wanted to copy the look perfectly, assuming those clothes are available ingame
i found the right shirt but its the wrong color
its the same style, sleeves and collar
if its not the right one its the closest i got
R6S Alibi strat in Div2 DZ, wat he doin
So... how much ammo does the bullet king give allies? 100 lmg bullets or...?
For every 100 bullets that hit an enemy, replenish one magazine worth of ammo to you and all your allies' ammo reserves. (For Bullet King, this replenishes 100 bullets since the hidden mag size is 100)"```
So, 100 rounds.
I thought it would've been a lot more than that...
afaik it replenishes the equivalent of one mag on whatever weapon they're holding
so it's not even 100, only 100 for the person using bullet king and other 100 mag-size weapons
There's a reason it's not a popular Exo'.

the fact that it affects allies is really just a bonus, that talent mainly helps the bullet king user
tbh, I'd much rather use something like an mg5 w/Fast Hands.
Reloads as fast as a quicker AR, big mag size, and way better usage/damage.
if you can find the same then lmk bc i wanna have a clone
no
not for you but people who already have crafted it can drop it for you
So need to craft it. 😩
You only technically need the Blueprint to get it from Targeted Loot,
however you might as well finish the Project cause' you get a freebie.
Yeah invaded mission gonna take weeks, thats why I was asking
welcome to the grind
And most likely I'm not going to be playing this game for that long. Just need a nemises build nd regulas build
you also get a bonus random part once you have another bit from Manning Zoo, worth nothing.
When does the invaded mission reset/change?
I've read the folowing in Eph's guide "some (named items) need to be unlocked by beating secret bosses named as Hunters, etc." is there a list somewhere, so I can see what items do each unlock?
id say its prob in the spreadsheet
how long until cassie comes next?
21 hours 41 min
post or pre reset?
Not sure what you are asking, I was just going to the vendor now and this is the timer I have, https://imgur.com/a/KGMQvYK
thats how long until she closes
Is it worth farming the DZ for the gift backpack
once dropped by hunters to these items are added to normal drops? or they drop there only?
they dont drop from hunters
you need to kill all hunters to get the keys for the items. after that the only way to get them is a new character or cassie
the chest that opens with the 8 keys in Haven?
I knew about them for cosmetic purposes. Pretty cool the items once unclocked you can get them once per week to the vendor
Appreciate all the help !
you also get 2 dyes
when you complete all the hunters and open the chest you can open it again on other level 40 characters. on the other characters the keys will be in front of the chests
nice !
I've got this annoying mode I cannot deconstruct/sell, not sure what's the deal with it
NEVERMIND
Press R
for whatever reason marking mods is on a different menu unlike most gear...
i usually run out of ceramic , is there a good way to farm them ?
If you go into your Inventory > Resources, you can see which Faction drops that material.
ohhh....ok nice . thanks
ive finished the game defeating aroan keener and now lvl 40. what the fuck do i do now?#
the guide is pinned
oh ok
@narrow kraken the game is now beginning
You've unlocked seasons,manhunts,raids,summit,
If you you have a decent Dps build get into raids
hey i just cameback to the game and wondering where i can looking at the build beside youtube ?
How do I ask the coyote mask?
Nicely, it's very sensitive.
Get
Targeted Loot: Mask w/Directives added on.
screw Faction bosses, 1 chance per mission on average and terrible rates.
the absolute best way would be either Lincoln 7+ directives w/TL, or Coyote herself with directives and TL.
Coyote isnt on hyena drop table, only coyote boss
General coyote bosses drop merciless
I thought that looked weird, but I'm half asleep so not really focusing.
you can't put more than 5 directives on unless you're in the summit though...
So, Ivory and off-white keys are not guaranteed drops from hunters? Concerning Ivory, I know we can spawn 12 hunters but only need 8 keys to unlock chest; But if I get this right:: even completing the 12 might not reward me with 8 keys. Is that correct?
they are guaranteed.
I'm doing Lincoln on heroic with no directives for coyote mask
Got some exotic kneepads from coyote boss
?? those are 2 different missions.
but yea Lincoln would be best place to farm coyotes if target loot mask. its best to farm all gear with correct target loot.
Better off farming West Potomac as that’s where masks are. Do all activities, then reset CPs.
not better off, as lincoln mask >> zone
What difficulty since I don't have the gear and power to do heroic
challenging and heroic are the best to do any farming on.
do the highest one you can speed clear with the most directives on.
^
can anyone help me i recently re joined and carnt remember alot about the game im a max level charicter with most exotics but carnt remeber what is good
look at the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice for a selection of different builds worth trying. Most exotics are situational - they work well in specific builds/situations, but not everywhere.
How do I check what world level I am? I’ve just got back into the game and for the life of me can’t remember
for base game it shows you on the map IIRC (world tier #) also WT5 is like gear score 490-515.
thanks saph
Thoughts on The Summit vs. Control Points for farming targeted loot?
CPs/open world first, then Summit.
Alright. Is that due to some sort of drop chance change or just with how quickly loot pops up? For instance I'm trying to farm for the Vile Mask.
You can keep resetting the CPs and farm the activities over and over. For both areas, if you add directives, the target loot drop chance goes up
No yeah I know that, just am curious as to why the cp's are better.
they are equal for farming, though summit can be easier.
also summit grants more opt mats, through its challenges.
just FYI Best target loot farming: Lincoln >> open world zones = summit >>> everything else
Alright, thank you both. Just to make sure I didn't miss anything, the only activity you can manually choose what you target is the summit, correct?
correct
Alrighty, thank you
Oh one last thing for now. Summit Access Key's aren't persistent, correct? I swear I've picked up multiple during a run and then later on I'll just not have any. Is this due to me dying or leaving the activity? Want to make sure I'm not crazy.
when its the 5 keys reset for raids?
1am tues PST
they are not persistent
hi guys, im dumb as f***, im sold my vile mask, is there any way to reset my season rank to get it again through season lv? or maybe with a new char? or does the new char has my main char season lv too?
Season level is shared between characters, just target farm masks and hope to get one again
oman 😦 i hate me... thx 4 the answer
since i havent gotten the coyote mask yet, is the only way to get it now by just farming the jefferson mission? i have been on challenging forever, and it isnt dropping
you can target farm the mask but if you ever find mask loot on lincoln please do it
you can also do it on the summit if your level 40
even if i havent received it yet? I was under the impression (based on the way it was explained to me) that you have to first recieve the item in the open world before being able to farm it in the summit
yes i got my first out of a random CP crate but you can get it on summit too you dont need the actual gear to get it again
its all just random
its been said like 10x today in every channel that it can drop from the JTC mission or any mask targeted loot
while I appreciate the response, you don't have to be a dick about it. I am not on the channels, and dont browse on my free time. Especially since it is much simpler to ask, and the response is also just as fast. So, again, I appreciate the response, but I also hope your favorite book gets turned into a movie and the characters are nothing like you envisioned them
..?
its funny how the people who never bother scrolling up or checking anything before asking stuff asked 2000 times before always get so offended
i hope your coyote mask never drops and if it does, i hope you deconstruct it on accident mate
Is it worth playing on Challenging for the better drops if I can't grind it as efficiently as Hard? Trying to farm for two specific things.
usually heroic with directives but if you cant handle it try out challenging with directives
I.e. is the better loot worth the increased time it takes to finish stuff.
That's what I'm doing. Challenging is just taking a bit longer and with the occasional death.
if challenging takes too long stay on hard
it doesnt take much to progess into challenging
worry about talents and brnds
and less about rolls
I can do challenging fine, my question pertains to if the drop chance is that much better.
I'm trying to get two specific drops, so if the drop quality or whatever is that much better I'd stick with my current plan, but if it isn't tangibly better I'm considering going back to hard for faster clears.
if you can do challening, stay on challenging
Alrighty.
I got a part for an exotic called "receiver and paintjob". What is that for?
iirc thats for the liberty
Ok
Is there an updated list of weapon attachments where I can see the what stats the locked ones give?
Hey, is 4 Piece foundry, A pointman and a gilagard backpack with orptunistic all rolled with blues a good tank build for IH raid
spreadsheet has it, as always
sure, if you have tier 6 shield nothing else matters much
How does crit chance % work with shotguns? Say I have 20%. Is that 20% per pellet or is that 20% divided between the # of pellets it fires?
each pellet has a 20% chance to crit
Great, thank you.
Hey, does anyone have a list of the story DLC content?
I heard about one set I. New York, episode 3 I believe, but I’m having trouble finding info about the other DLC locations
Please ping me when you reply 🙂
WONY is the only DLC for Div2, unless you're referring to the Seasons.
Someone referred to that as episode 3? Or did I misunderstand or something
Yes you did there are 6 seasons and they've been repeating them for right now.
I see, I’ve actually never played the games but I’m trying to decide if I should get them
So in Div2, can you play the campaign all the way through as a single player, or do you have to do co-op?
And the same is true for Div1?
Yes main story
Cool
Incursions are team based in div1
It’s confusing because Wikipedia says up to 4 players can play missions together
Can you play the main story in co-op as well?
Raids are team based for div 2
So it’s just the online content?
Yes you can run 4 people the entire time
How’s the experience differ for 4 players vs 1 player, like does the difficulty or number of enemies change or anything?
Both
Yeah I noticed the game was on sale, I think I might get it
If you want a solid experience run it thru alone then go back and get help
Try to stay away from epic
I’m glad I can play solo, I like to explore things in my own time, so it’s really a deal breaker for me if I’m forced to play in co-op
oh yeah I’ve heard about Epic causing lots of issues with other Ubi games
Yup
Make sure you get all the dlc for both games
In div 1 don't worry about gear until you finish the story
In div2 don't worry about builds until after keener aka lvl 40
not sure if I’ll want the year 1 pass
Underground is kool and survival is awesome
actually 4 seasons.
uh never heard of it, soz.
How could you have not heard of the best game ever created? 😱
I should've known it was an Isabel thing as soon as I read "cat". :p
😹
where is the best place to find the providence holster, chest armour and backpack?
im trying to do the meta red build in the guide apart form the guns
summit
ok
Should I do it on hard or challenging since I'm too weak for heroic
challenging. hard gives you some purples and challenging removes them entirely
make sure you set your targeted loot to providence
When you have the blueprint for the future initiative and foundry bulwark gearset, can the chest and backpack drop in targeted loot?
Thanks. Also is Providence good for full red build plus coyote mask onece I get it?
How do you change enemies polarity
shoot them with different weapon if i remember correctly
What is an enemy polarity?
its part of the season week
Oh you gotta punch em to change their polarity
yes, im using it now, i think it's pretty good for a standard AR/Rifle/LMG build but im not super pro or anything
I want to use it for SMG and shotgun build
Is unbreakable a good talent for full red build since armour is very fragile
I've just reached level 40 so I'm trying to do a full red build
for close quarters i think hunter's fury is better (?)
Hmmm
look at pinned messages in #td2-build-advice
I'm more of a SMG range and then shotgun when I need it
Not one close range
But I get what you mean
🤪
DONT BAN ME PLS!
I've got the banshee SMG that I got from araon keener
It does 90 something k damage and has good critical damage and chance attributes
I've got the SMG. I need the other stuff and the shotgun lol
anyone know how to change the polarity of hostile fireteams? for the global event
Melee them
oh god.
@narrow kraken I run Unbreakable on my 5 red 1 armor DPS rifle/SMG backup build with Vigilance on backpack to account for the lost damage.
Unbreakable tremendously helps when getting flanked and I think of it as an unending armor kit on a cooldown, leaving armor kits for only the stickiest situations.
The 1 armor piece helps since I run the striker shield as a slight bit of extra defense and a reviver as a last resort. Try it out c:
Most effective when in a group or with friendly NPCs around since you won't be the only target for enemies to shoot
So for control points this build is decent, but solo bounties and freeroam bosses can be somewhat difficult especially if there's very little cover
--
Do Exotics have locked secondary attributes? I have a Scorpio with godrolled damage and armor damage, but crit damage as a secondary attribute. If I reroll, is there a chance for DMG to target out of cover?
Oki
Does the coyote mask need a certain season level for it to be available to be dropped?
no
Nope, just Targeted Loot: Mask w/Directives added on for your best chance to get one.
Then that guy was lying to me wtf
Yeah accidentally finding out-of-date info about div2 is like 50% of our questions on here lol.
hunters fury doesnt use coyote but what riven said
the spreadsheet lists all the sources for all the exotics too
not that it will avoid anything but il mention it anyways
Is the summit good for chameleon? Apart from bounties
as with any exotic, any targeted loot farm is more or less the same
Ok
I'm using hunter fury: Mask gloves and kneepads and using Providence armour and backpack. Is that a good build?
I think I might be using fury kneepads I forgot for the set bonus
already told where the builds are multiple times
providence isnt very used with HF
I thought that's what the build was
its not
Either Sokolov, Badger Tuff, or Belstone, depending on weapon or if you wanna be more tanky.
Never the whole set, no.
Ok
ceska, sombra, badger, sokolov etc
Ceska and Sombra work just as well.
....that is what we are saying.
You will never use more than 4 pieces of a single Gear Set, and almost never less than 4.
so "4 or nothing" should be your general rule for Gearsets.
^
Ok thanks
I thought Providence worked well since it had like 15% critical and damage and stuff
crit damage is on the 3 piece
3 striker intensifies
and the 1 piece is near useless for HF
thats a pvp thing and you know it
boo. And yeah, PvP so it doesn't count.
3 striker?
just dont
Dw about it
Ok
Just a meme
odder is being contrarian
Why u use big words I don’t understand
small words arent much better with you either
Idk if I want to be full damage but fragile armour or half and half
Ok better
why use many words when few words do trick?
Generally, HF wants atleast two blues, 3 if you are unsure.
Wait. My brain stopped. What is HF
hunters fury
...Hunter's Fury.
Ahhhh
fure 
fure
Hunters failure
no
lmao we confusin the poor guy
2 or 3 of your HF should be recalled to blue core
yes aspect because he solemly refuses to check a guide
its been 3 days of people pointing the man to the place to help
oh my god oliver go look at a guide my guy
I can't look at the guide noooow since I'm in my phone and its old as fuck
he means the phone
not that guide
the spreadsheet is....too big for your phone?
he means the level 40 guide
oh my god odder can you do the favor and post the HF setup here please
I'm so confused
the spreadsheet is pinned in #td2-build-advice
Ye
I’m too slow ig
eww big links.
Chances of getting the Dark Winter without DZ being SMG targeted loot?
0%
Seems somewhat low 🤔
or, so low that the closest aproximate number to it is 0
just use Named Item caches like the cool people.
Yes I am trying with no luck :( at least this global event seems doable
i mean if you actually enjoy the DZ, go for it, but if you don't you've got options.
Do conflict caches drop it too?
yes
Yeah I enjoy it
Dark Winter: Conflict, DZ, Named Item, Season 1.
Was gonna ask the season for it next, thanks
theres so many named items in the DZ that without the specific targeted loot youd need to go thru all the targeted named items, then get a non targeted named and still have it be DW
it will just never happen outside of a select lucky few
and youre just buying lottery tickets
Yeah I figured, but every time I play I go do some landmarks as a change of air from the rest of the game since the XP to difficulty ratio is alright and I just love DZ vibes
Is there any way to check current TL without logging into the game?
Not that that's a problem but still
reddit has a daily post
Oh? Do you have a link for it
the subreddit with more users on it should have it, I know that there's 2 for some reason.
Many thanks :)
Im gonna copy that. Do I need those specific guns tho?
Is there a .45 crit chance muzzle other than the suppressor?
nope
Oki
When I start a new character, at some point it asks if you want to share crafting materials between characters. Where can I go to make sure I have that turned on? I don't remember what I selected when I made the character. The character isn't past lvl 40 yet.
Theres a buyable thing in the crafting lady's inventory, iiirc. Also, nice Nago. Also, goddamn how the hell do i fight him?
Buyable on the new character's instance? So finish Liberty Island and buy it back at DC?
I think thats how it goes? I cant remember if its buyable at Haven, but it'll be in the new character's instance, yes.
Sweet, that's enough of a lead for me. Thanks.
you can buy it after you complete wony when you go back to dc
how beat nago...
who tf is that?
lol he's talking to me
mk
Just in general, Leo just doesnt have many options. but if we continue i'd say bring it to #off-topic-discussions
wheres that one enemy you get by saluting and they can 1 melee kill you
I know you probably don't care but I've gotten 4 exotics including the chatterbox and have nearly finished my build.
ofc i care, chatterbox with Hunters Fury is dope dude
Thanks. I've got 4 red and 2 blue dot thingiee
So at least I've got a bit of armour aswell
I just need bloodsucker and another talent I forgot the name of
intimidate i suppose
I’ve been missimg around with Blood sucker recently. I like it quite a bit. I still use adrush for more dmg but blood sucker for tanking
For the current global event, how do you "Change the polarity of hostile fireteams" (and what exactly is a "fireteam")? And does having the opposite polarity of an enemy you shoot boost anything? Curious what that's about.
ik i've said it before but is dz landmarks really a good way to level your watch?
aside from convoys on heroic with 7 directives (bc i dont wanna hate the game more) what is a good way?
Do the invaded missions
Best way to speed run it
One tap npcs coming out of door
not that i would be able to make it any time soon but what would a regulus ad deletus build look like?
HH
Eh
what would a hh build look like ._.
full red but with chainkiller and headshot damage
borpa
Do u still not know how to build
no
I expect better of u
(:
i also expect better of i
real
real fake
its a shame here isnt one on the sheet
I expect him to better, smarter then me
afaik on solo heroic you don't even need to do anything special, as long as every piece has headshot damage and your chainkiller is stacked you'll oneshot everything with headshots
what 2nd skill and specialisation?
sharpshooter, skills don't matter

heck no that makes it harder for me to land headshots
at least when they're walking I know where their head is going to be
how?
but when they get cc'd they bob around
people with mortars are my worst nightmare while running headhunter because I don't get to play the game with all the screenshake
foam it's pretty easy but fire and shock is pain
build complete

yeah that's not gonna work for pve
you need all red cores
;-;
headhunter scales insanely well with weapon damage
what other brands and talent for backpack
vig on backpack, 2pc airaldi, 1pc prov, contractor's and foxes
Usual regulus build is headhunter punch drunk contractor's foxes providence backpack with vigilance and dodge city
Eh dodge isn’t really needed tbh
Too annoying to charge up
Useful for taking down yellows that don't go down in one shot or taking out bosses
dodge is good cause if you charge it up even halfway and get a headshot kill, you'll have full headhunter stacks
makes getting stacks back a lot easier
It's not, charge it up when going from room to room
30 seconds between rooms?
U don’t need full stacks
anyway the build ninja posted works great, I don't know how much flexibility you have with the cores but all red will give you the big numbers
yeah just enough to oneshot a red and purple and you're off to the races really
or just don't miss, and then you'll never have to worry about it
probably. you don't have dodge city?
no
might be a little tough but you can try it as is
the 1pc airaldi is pretty worthless
unless you're using mmr as primary, which you probably should to get hh stacks since you don't have dodge city
otherwise switch it for a walker
there we go

give it a shot and see how it goes
later. i gtg sleep and matchmaking isnt gonna be the greatest rn
best done solo tbh

Can you only get the Anarchist's Cookbook (named backpack) from new york? I read that is where you get it but I wasn't sure if it was farmable in the main game
No, it's a world drop so just farm it's target loot
Only exclusive drops are DZ items and raids and bighorn.
All else are world drops
Oh thank you. Man there is so much misinformation out there. I keep finding out of date info and old stuff everywhere.
Use the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice that is up to date
Def checking that out, thanks for that!
One more thing, for that backpack. Is there a preferred target? The brand or the gear-type to help increase the chances at all?
Always brand target loot. Gear slot is for exotics or DZ specific items
Ooh okay
what are some popular pistols/talents? just for general dps / red pistolero
im thinkin D50 looks good
is this kind of Matchmaking normal ? https://imgur.com/a/DQ01oxs
@narrow kraken Happens all the time
is there a guide to how much each optimization tier cost for core and second attributes?
mainly SHD calibration
not really, optimization is split into 10 tiers per item stat and each has a specific cost
no one has bothered documenting it
Is there a good beginner AR DZ build that includes both damage and survivability and doesn't take too long to farm for it?
I just got Mantis from my weekly donation cache, is it any good? And if so for what builds?
@ember finch It absolutely is good, it's one of the best 3 MMR's in div2 actually.
(other 2 are White Death and Nemesis)
for the build, hop on over to #td2-build-advice > pinned-message > spreadsheet > hub. The one called "Aces n 8's Sniper".
feel free to ask any questions you have about it.
need a little help.
how do i make a capacitor rifle ?
my bro deconstructed it 😦
hey mate, just post a question once.
someone will answer it if they can.
do you have to farm legendary mission's for the bighorn?
yes or legendary summit too. it only drops off legendary bosses.
and how can i get the nemesis?
nemesis you have to get the parts for it from invaded strong holds.
full guide on the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice > its hub tab> exotic guide.
nor a good AR either, just for fun 😄
2360 read it and you’ll see that I recommend famas or eb
Pvp it’s the best secondary in the game
Easy way to win a 1v4
you keep thinking that 😛
I mean I ain’t wrong
I already knew this
Both should be used
Famas is better for most situations. EB is better for 1v3+
I’ve been meaning to try sa 58 para
Ahh with the dmg it outputs it’s fine
to both.
what is reconfigure ? in crafting i have my waveform holster for reconfigure , what will it do ?
oh ok...thanks
Hello every one can some one explain me why my DYE is not getting apply on my entire Backpack is a bug or ?
Dye's only cover specific parts of gear, every piece is different.
it's not like a bucket of paint over your backpack.
yes but on other characters the same dye work on all backpack
only on this one is not same
i have same also transmog
as i said, its diff on each backpack.
Theres normal dyes and full gear dyes
Full dyes apply to a lot more of an item than normal ones
Destroy his backpack, then target his head.
nice ty, went down easy after his backpack was down
where can i get "the scrafice" chest piece?
targeted loot providence
ppl looking to get that now?
i swear i got 3 of them in 2 summit floor's
If your looking for a pointman there's a good one at the whitehouse
I watched a video earlier and they were going over status effects and what boosts them. They mentioned something about Skill Duration improving the status duration, but only in a specific way. I can't remember if they meant it only affected it if it came from the brand set or a mod, but can anyone confirm if this is true or not?
wat :|
What's confusing?
i dont get any of the things you say
Okay, I'll reword it.
They said that the Skill Duration stat improves the duration of the status' you apply from a skill. Like the Burn Sticky Bomb for example.
But they mentioned it only does that if the Skill Duration stat comes from something specific. Like a brand armor you wear gives you Skill Duration, or you put on a mod that does the same thing.
I'm asking if anyone can confirm if this is true, and if so, which is it.
i mean i never tested it but it can be true
That doesn't really help

No. That’s what the status effect attribute is for. Duration will make a trap stay out longer or make a chem launcher stay out longer but don’t make the actual shock or foam last longer
thats what i found in reddit
Okay so to be clear. They said and I'm paraphrasing: "Brand sets that have skill duration (Murakami Industries was used as an example, +20% skill duration) can buff the duration of status' that you apply, but gear mods you equip do not.". This is false? And are you 100% sure if you do answer. They went very indepth with their review and nothing stood out to me besides that note, so I wasn't going to write it off as wrong without asking first. Nevermind, tested it myself. Had to farm a piece of the set. It does improve status duration.
Is it not good for dps builds no more!?
i mean it is good but you gotta know what u doin
Yeah thats what im hesitating to farm for it
Because i could just use ceska with obliterate
yeah sacrifice makes you take 60% more dmg so if u dont have a healer or take a big enough hit ur done for
and if its for pvp its dumb to run it
i mean if u use it you do hit like a truck but you are a glass truck
i only use it for raids mainly iron horse
Hello, how do you get the BSAV samples for that mother teresa the Nun on the Ark contaminated zone?
Does it matter if I do floor 100 or legendary or heroic?
Whatever you can do fast and with as many directives you will be fine
I mean in terms of rewards
just reached 100 for the 1st time and was wondering if it give any extra loot or something
Directives and speed effect your drop chances
You can farm floor 100 for better/faster loot farming
Whenever I switch loadouts appearance nd colour mods revert back to the original look. Is this a bug?
Or intended, it be pretty stupid ngl
But some don't , like my chest piece, but it seems random
save the load out again when the colour mods are installed, that should fix it
I did but I'll try again
So I couldn't overwrite,
I had to save it as a new loadout, lol.
Thanks for the help
i just hit 40 and wondering how often do the targeted loot areas/missions reset? also can you reset strongholds to keep farming a specific set?
Once a day
Yes
Pinned guide has a section about targeted loot
That might help you
Any heartland news?
Nope
do DZ drops spawn in invaded DZs? Or how do DZ Drops event spawn?
While in the DZ, you can obtain DZ locked items. There's no special requirements.
Any dz loot can be any dz named
"there's no special requirements".
Regardless of where this dz loot is from
Dz drops spawn randomly in both dz’s @narrow kraken
Both the 3 dzs 
been camping an invaded DZ but the drop event just does not appear
Theyre on a timer
Both types of dz ☹️
You might aswell walk in, check and if no drop swap DZs
But those projects are 9 out of 10 times a waste of time
Im starving on SHD Calibration and dont have the crafting pattern for them
More farmers I can mutilate
I've done so many CP4, I get so many random nothingness, sometimes I dont even understand what I get, I presume they are level 30 patterns
Theres a lot of bps to get
But its still a better way than dz farming
You need most of those bps anyways
Crafting shd cal is hell. I’d recommend just getting to lv 1k then doing wony runs
250 shd cal every 5 hours
yeah once high level enough pretty easy to just level another char over and over
but getting 1000 in the first place takes a lot of time
To clarify, SHD Watch is account-wide.
Yessir it does
watching some videos, are the convoy mission XP still bugged ? 🙂
Do friendly Resource Convoy serve any purpose apart from fast traveling on their location?
There was a thing a while ago where someone claimed that helping them to arrive means that the place would have less lost resources when you had to restock, but idk if that's actually true.
my brain is drawing a blank: how do we 'shock' hostiles in game, other than scorpio or shock ammo?
oh wait, shock trap, that would do it
anyone know why I cant recraft the memento backpack I have everything I need but I cant craft it
did you disassemble your old Memento?
no i have it i have everything i need for it
Is it in your inventory?
yes
no clue then
weird
You have an exotic component?
yes
did u buy the blueprint from iya or wqhatever her name is
ye i did
relog
ummmm
you dont craft memento its a drop or season reward
are you talking about recalibration, but that isnt crafting its just rerolling the exotics in hopes of higher rolls.
ye thats what i mean
hm... okay can you send me a SC of that screen
no problem.
Guys, where can i drop/loot coyote mask ?
mask targetted loot, final boss of Jefferson trade
If you mean the Named Backpack from Providence Defense, it's "The Gift" and has Perfect Vigilance.
Gift is DZ only
The Gift, with Perfect Vigilance only drops in the dark zone, farming targeted loot outside wont help
youre better off getting it from named caches
oh right, I always forget that it is, since it's only really used in that one build.
Yes red to make every one dead lol
does aces n 8s buff apply to the wole group?
no
since when can i not target yaahl in summit?
Yaahl is DZ only
sadness
Or (very, very, very) rarely, the BoO vendor will sell a single piece of it.
not sure why, but useful to stock up on the mats.
what are some of the best stats for tanking? im dps but im wondering what blue mods i should be keeping.. like is ensnare resistance or blind/deaf resistance actually used much?
I'd just keep anything that's almost maxed out, anything low % isn't super worth it.
you mean general tanking or specific cases?
there's tanks build for regular content but certain raid bosses require specific mods
oh right, i mean regular content i guess
also, what exactly does "protection from elites" do?
seems super strong
protection from mobs with yellow health bars
it's probably your best bet for everyday use
cool cool
I would go with Armor Regen otherwise
Disrupt Resistance also useful when you get EMP
i see i see
your tanking will really be your shield
but say a stray shot hits you, regen comes in handy
explosive resistance is just a tad too specific imo
I personally use it in Iron Horse but otherwise I cannot say I feel it's such a big impact
far too specific, now granted armor regen is not a lot, but it's there
a steady regen
combined with say Foundry it can really help
I would say you have 2 ways to go now
what are some good backpack talents?
you could go with Foundry Backpack if you have it, otherwise Protector is the best
true patriot >>> Foundry for tanking
Patriot does benefit the team more yeah
but in specific cases Foundry is better
in cases where you really need your shield to hold up
as for tanking sub stats. Hzd pro only good if going for high amounts, Health garbo, explosive is decent, and flat armor regen is garbo (% is awesome though).
only specific case were foundry > TP tanking is with crusader shield tanking. other wise tech hive + liberty makes FB gear set a null point.
I use it in DH at the second encounter to tank the bosses
and the amount of group support TP tanking brings makes it a "no contest" in TPs win, between TP and FB tall shield tanking.
my points are for legendary fyi. For raids thats a different thing possibly (havent fully researched/tested TP vs FB in IH). though TP still brings much much more group support then FB can even dream of, while still having the same durability cause of tech hive + liberty.
Tp flags affecting raid + able to run coyote for even more buffs on TP tank.
we used TP at Fieser and it worked
even throughout the raid it works
but I felt much more comfortable in FB in certain encounters
Any tips on how to get the chainkiller armour? I need it for a pistol build
the answer for "how to get xyz gear" is to farm its target loot location (for 99.9% of gear). or Raid for the raid exclusives. and big horn is still legendary bosses only.
Is chainkiller exclusive or something or can I find it in summit challenging?
if im not mistaken targeted loot wasnt always a thing, if so, for those who played before that, do you think the game is better with or without?
Better with
I don't understand what I'm supposed to do when I reach the white house
go up the stairs into the office
I have
hear the man talk and then on you go to grand washington hotel
I can't find anyone to speak too
Go to the door, iirc
It dosent let me enter
Restart your console
is there a way to get yaahl gear from the summit?
The raid's rest is today or tomorrow?
Tuesday

Oh you can play IH anytime
Yeah ik I dont wanna farm the boss everytime

Have you done your DH for the week
Best AR in game btw

Talent was nerfd*
Yup it was way to op
accuracy buff went from 100% to 30%
it still gives reload speed sometimes
bug ig
no
my gunner isnt even leveled
Guys, I must ask, who the hell came up with the name of the DLC group "The Cleaners" thats the most non-scary name you could come up with
Idk something that doesn't scream that they'll run upto you and attack you with cleaning products?
You really ought'a look at the lore, to explain why the name.
might just be you
in 5 years thats the first time ive heard someone complain about it.
could be worse, could be 'The Weebs' or 'The Bronies' or something
Who woulda thought that sani's would be so deadly....
"the faith"
Dragon Reapers MC, an old GTA crew I ran with.
democratic republic of mid-carolina
and you're complaining about "cleaners" lol.
weebiest one ive been in was "legacy of devils" back in des2.
Weebiest?
it wasnt that, but i dont wanna out it.
That ain't even a word.
it has meaning, tho
im avoiding saying what it really is, but anyway lets leave this convo where it belongs. Out of the #ask-td2-community chat.
'containing the greatest concentration of weebness'
hey can the lady death drop anywhere smg targeted loot is?
yes
@true siren thanks for clearing that up for me
@polar tundra no worries
Yes
Keyword randomly
Before I had my nemesis sniper build I found it inside the shop outside in the White House
Like on the ground or you bought it?
It's just rng, you'll get one eventually
I bought but follow what eph says
Can I get a screenshot of the Sutton jacket?
If you have side missions left when you head to Wony, will those disappear after coming back to dc
nopers
even thou 2360 answered
but
we dont like him here'
Thanks
i would advise to clear the main map before going to wony.
Where can you get the mechanized infantry armor, and foundry bulwark armor?
Iirc the foundry armor comes from the iron horse raid
Yep.
Chest+BP for both FB and FI are locked to the IH Raid.
@silk glen if youve never done a raid do 1 before tuesday so when reset happens you can do a fresh raid and reget keys and possible chest and bp. this will also start you 2 new projects,with a total of 5 which the 5th gets you the regulos pistol
time for bed ngith rivens
Is Chem launcher ammo mod maxed at +1?
chem launcher ammo scales off your Skill Tiers. So 1 Tier gets you 1, 2 for 2, etc.
night Saph. 
Thanks
the mod is maxed at +1 as far as i know, as i havent heard anyone who has a +2 or more.
oh the mod, yeah +1 is regular.
Quick question: just got a 2nd character done with WoNY and in Scavenging on their watch, they have ~600 points to spend. I went back to DC and got the shared blueprints. If I need materials, just use these points from this character, right? The Scavenging watch points themselves won't transfer to my first character, so just use them on the character that has them and use the shared inventory?
The SHD level is shared between characters. If you have the shared blueprints, points put into scavenging will transfer to other characters.
Got it, thank you.
do you get more of those control point optimisation resources if you play on heroic global settings?
field recon data*
what are some exotics worth trying to get
Exotics are kinda on-par with high-end/gearset gear, so I'd just suggest getting one of everything and seeing what works for your build.
ok
Easiest ones are liberty pistol,chatterbox smg, nemisis sniper rifle
ok thx
If someone gets the memnto from the season thing when they already have one can they drop it?
as long as they got it in a session with you and the time to share it hasnt finished, yes
Nice
told ya 😛
Xd
is the mop better than six12?
no it depends on whether you need what the Mop offers
if you do not need the armor and instead you want to go full offensive then you are better off with a regular six12
i generally have a hoarding habit and now i'm drowning in gear with high rolls (been playing over 130 hours now)
i have multiple duplicates of weapons with high rolls and i don't know what to keep
i know it depends on the build but i have no idea what i need, there are so many different things you could do
i'm running meta skill build now with Capacitor, so that's pretty much finished
are there any guides or tier lists that people generally referring to? what are other meta build? what should i instantly trash, what talents considered good and bad?
it comes with experience
honestly you in general shouldnt worry too much about hoarding
keep weapons with dtooc as 3rd stat or with good talents
and keep items with good rolls that match the brand, like crit providence or repair alps
you can look at the spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice and go into the build section and check what talents are used often and etc
since when is the Rocket Launcher Skin from the field research locked behind "premium access" ?? What the fuck even is this
It's a cosmetic. That's how those work.
the "premium" tier has always been the paid one, the other one is free.
what is the paid one though? what do I have to buy?
the paid one is included in the Ultimate Edition.
often very, very cheap when it's on sale. It also gets you the 8x Classified Assignments, a few other cosmetics, access to an alternate (but otherwise identical) version of the Sweet Dreams+Merciless Exotics, and the WONY expansion.
So recommended to get it if you can justify it, otherwise nothing game-changing.
I just bought warlords of new york
id just leave it then, no big rush.
I used to play this via uplay + but I dont want to keep spending money on it monthly as Im not playing any other games
so I guess when I had uplay+ I had the premium version
and now I dont anymore
fml
I mean fair enough, you didn't actually buy it, was just renting it with Plus.
well fuck it, guess Im just gonna buy uplay+ again and refund my purchase -.-
that seems like a bad idea, more expensive in the long run.
how much is plus per month?
14.99, fuck it, I'm not gonna buy some fucking premium version of the game now
last time I saw it on sale, was 70% off.
im sure you can work that out for whatever it is full-price in your region.
for my region that'd be $20 as a single-time purchase.
You and buy all skins individually
wait, the deluxe edition skins are in the store?
They've always been just gotta look,when they added textiles
We're talking about the specific Rocket Launcher skin thats a part of the Spec Research. That one is in the store for textiles?
Not for sale as textiles gotta be coin
But yes
It's a pay to look pretty lol
Afternoon rivens
I'm 1 of those that has to get all that stuff
mornin'
I guess its a good thing overall, lets people earn it for "free" or pay for it.
on your breakpoint?
to me they're all incredibly not good looking.
they clash with my fashion, the default ones at least go with everything on a base level.
Roflol
