[fallow inlet]

Time to goto work

[gentle yew]

the spec research skin is not in the shop.

[inner tendon]

either way, you're really not gonna be using it that much.

spec weapons for the most part are kinda niche.

[gentle yew]

I know, I need it for my look though lol, anyways... I got it back now with the uplay sub

[chilly grove]

I've seen a fair few players roll CHD and strained on a vector sbr. Any reason for that?

[grand nebula]

yea, theyre bad players

[willow gale]

They are miss informed, or they like big stat sheet numbers

[grand nebula]

you can understand the chd?

[chilly grove]

So i have chd and optimist on a clean sbr. I should roll dttooc?

[grand nebula]

you should farm a new one

[willow gale]

Good

[grand nebula]

if optimist was amp it would be literally busted

[chilly grove]

For a different talent? I alr have a natural godroll that i can put any talent on

[grand nebula]

if it was TWD it would be almost super busted

[willow gale]

Best dmg talent in the game thou?

[grand nebula]

twd

[grand nebula]

depends on weapon type

[willow gale]

High fire rate I would assume

[chilly grove]

Whats twd? 2 wheel drive?

[willow gale]

[grand nebula]

you want dtooc and as talent youd like fast hands likely, perhaps killer, optimist is average, in sync would be best if you could procc it

then again vectors for pve are yikes

[willow gale]

I’ve been loving a banshee with killer recently

[grand nebula]

killer is only marginally better than optimist anyways

[willow gale]

I was wanting a mpx considering I still don’t have a good one

[grand nebula]

still depends
the status talents are likely the best, rifleman is top tier, ranger is up there too, etc

in sync if you can proc it

[willow gale]

Runs turret just to procc insync

[grand nebula]

some try hards run drone for it

[willow gale]

Idk

Insync to hard to use

Wish strained was better

[autumn path]

I find it quite easy

much easier with turret, but drone has better uptime

plus even if you're on a DPS build the turret or drone takes aggro off you

[chilly grove]

I just tried vector sbr with fast hands. Highest stacks i could get was 25. Still worth it?

[grand nebula]

yes, because you reload ofetn af with it and reload is capped at 1s aswell

it covers the vectors biggest weakness which is its god awfull sustain

[sweet hatch]

I'd say vector's biggest weakness is it's range tbh, you don't need sustained damage when you have high burst

[grand nebula]

its an smg, it has average smg range, and you couldnt be more wrong on the other thing lol

given how youre gonna stand within 15m anyways for HF or even less for intimidate its a non factor

[willow gale]

Less reloading=better dmg

More*

[sweet hatch]

so 5.5million damage in less than 2 seconds is not considered burst in your eyes? 15m is on the low end for SMGs in terms of optimal range

5.5 million is with 4 blues can be higher

[grand nebula]

and? thats literally not the point
and yes, its on the lower end, but most are withing 14 to 16m with a couple at 20ish and 1 at 18m
Burst is good, burst on its own is not particularly worth

this 5.5 in 2s metric is hilarious

just showed how you missed the point completely

and its part of how people keep getting baited into using vectors in pve

[gentle yew]

what are the best talents for Police M4 and Famas, pure dps build?

[willow gale]

Fast hands or Insync

Killer is okay

[marble shadow]

strained?

[grand nebula]

strained is dope too, better on the m4 but famas still benefits

[ivory sundial]

Is it possible to make a custom conflict match for yourself and friends?

[fallow inlet]

Yes

As long as there on the same system

[willow gale]

you can play split screen bassically

[last dagger]

I launched my division. the screen size is super fucked up and its 2701 x something even my screen is 1920 x 1080. tried to find a folder on my pc that saves my games resolution settings but i can't find it. please tell me where I can find it. wasn't in graphics config

usually I can just change my screen size in game and apply it but the apply button is out side of my screen so I can't even press it

[marble shadow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/46kifp/fix_for_the_resolution_problem/

does that help?

[gentle yew]

so I just saw someone with 13000 SHD Level.... how?

[restive snow]

theres people with around 30k as well

[uneven kestrel]

is the summit checkpoint account or character based?

i'd like to know if its possible to keep floor 100 checkpoint across characters

[tulip fiber]

It’s account based, I’m pretty sure

[grand nebula]

dlc has been out for a year and a half, people were 10k shd months ago

[narrow kraken]

The polarity event has only 4 days of challenges?

[grand nebula]

all events have 4 days iirc

[zinc pike]

They do indeed

[supple bane]

Account

[fallow inlet]

Correct but they go for 2 weeks

[dawn quest]

whats the fastest lvling method for SHD ?

[inner tendon]

Heroic Resource Convoy w/Directives.
be warned: you'll hate the game fast.

[nimble spruce]

yeah if you rush getting great builds and high SHD, then you're rushing to that 'what do I do now?' point too

[gloomy crag]

Where can I get outcasts materials fast as I dont have the blueprint for recalibration

[hallow raptor]

Outcast missions and bounties. They drop for final boss.

[gloomy crag]

How much do I get for one mission

[hallow raptor]

heroic drops 4 I believe, 3 for challenging, etc.

[gloomy crag]

okay thanks

[narrow kraken]

Farm holster target loot, either somewhere on the map or in summit

[hallow saddle]

just coming back to division stopped playing before the release of i believe final bastion or wtever that first add on after it went live. I see this hardcore mode and wanted to know if it was actually worth it REWARD wise for actual game.

[nimble spruce]

probably not IMO, a few commendations (and arm patches), but not much else, and there's a fair chance the game will bug out and kill you at random anyway (and devs never give anyone their dead HC characters back)

[polar bluff]

How do I get optimization material like the faction assessments and where do I get the blueprints to craft them?

[marble shadow]

can someone explain to me how the true patriot debuffs work? when the colour switches does the previous debuff get removed? how many stacks does it get to? when do they expire?

[inner tendon]

Enemies you shoot receive stacking debuffs of Red/White/Blue.
Changes every 2 seconds.

Red: Amplifies the enemy's damage taken by 8%. 
White: Hitting the enemy restores you and your allies' armor by 2%
once every second
Blue: Decreases enemy damage dealt by 8%.

Full Flag: Enemies that die while under the effect of all three debuffs
create a 5m explosion, dealing damage equal to their total health and armor. 
Explosion strength is reduced on Named enemy deaths."```

[marble shadow]

yeah so like... lets say you're shooting a big tanky boy, does it mean ur first couple of shots does the 8%/16% damage taken debuff, and the 3rd shot 2 seconds later does 2% allies armor? or does it count as the "third" stack so you get 6%a/s

or does it go back to 0 every 2 seconds

[inner tendon]

An enemy can have all 3, hence the "full flag" part.

[marble shadow]

one stack of all 3

that never expires until they die?

[inner tendon]

It doesn't mention a timer, so I have to imagine that it stays on them for a little while at least.

[narrow kraken]

anyone knows when the new invasions will come/reset?

[zinc pike]

Tuesday is reset day

[zinc pike]

There is a timer but it's so long you probably won't notice

[narrow kraken]

does this x2 XP multiplier

https://imgur.com/a/c80aSn2

applies to all activities , such resource convoy?

or control points etc

[grand nebula]

all xp, for 15 levels

[ivory sundial]

Is it possible to destroy a black tusk helo while it’s deploying its troops?

[inner tendon]

No, best you can do is shoot the troops on it.

[ivory sundial]

H E L I E D T O M E

[inner tendon]

cool

[ivory sundial]

Sorry

I was just wondering but my friend said it was possible

Welp off to fight yannick

[plush horizon]

how do i farm a specific weapon?

[ivory sundial]

Farm target loot

[plush horizon]

whats that

i just recently reached max lvl

[ivory sundial]

What weapon are you trying to acquire?

[plush horizon]

vector sbr 9mm

[grand nebula]

Check the pinned guide

And go to the targeted loot section

[plush horizon]

oh ok

[ivory sundial]

How am I supposed to bleed bloodhound?

I can’t seem to do that with him

[tulip fiber]

Stinger hive

[ivory sundial]

Oh of course

I forgot

Thank you

[fallow inlet]

@grand nebula DUDE AWESOME GUIDE

just read thru it

hey aspect

[true siren]

eph is awesome

[grand nebula]

thanks saph

[odd ether]

How can i farm for the exotic chameleon

[ivory sundial]

I got mine from challenging or hard bounties

Maybe add some directives in there too

That should help increase the chance if I remember

[grand nebula]

same as any other loot, targeted loot for the thing you want

[willow gale]

any math men bored and wanna do some math for me

[true siren]

1+1 is like 3 or some shit

[willow gale]

i thought it was 4?

[true siren]

Idk man

[nimble spruce]

what's the math? If it looks easy, I'll do it @willow gale

[hallow saddle]

Thanks I'm a diehard division fan had to stop playing due to internet issues

I'm amazed that I still have my sniper flicks I did in division 1

[grand nebula]

its odder, how hard can it be

[nimble spruce]

my bet's on 17

[narrow kraken]

Does the scorpio drop from targeted loot?

Yes

Thx been farming summit for days no sign of it.

[foggy needle]

RNG is RNG

[inner tendon]

Have you stacked on Directives like I suggested?

[narrow kraken]

Yep most of the time.

[inner tendon]

Challenging or above?

[narrow kraken]

Heroic

[inner tendon]

(or above lol)
how many Directives?

[narrow kraken]

Lol depends sometimes 3 or 4

[inner tendon]

Each one added on boosts your chance to get a TL drop.
might wanna add a few more with Summit. There's a couple of freebies.
apart from that, the other best option is to run in a team and ask them to drop a copy for you.

[narrow kraken]

No worries ill keep grinding.

[inner tendon]

best of luck out there, Agent.

[fallow inlet]

evening rivens

[marble shadow]

where was the place where u view your raid lockouts

[narrow kraken]

The leaderboards?

[hallow saddle]

Are raids soleable (I played during alpha etc just csme back from final bastion released and stated over)

[grim rapids]

I can’t interact with the burn guy in the appartement n23 for the school hunter is it a known bug ? All steps before are correct

[marble shadow]

raids are not soloable it takes 8 people

[hallow saddle]

Hmm ight I compared it to division 1 I was able to solo everything that COULD BE SOLOED

[hallow saddle]

I even had a person join just to hit the button with me in dn and soloed it technically 🤣 🤣

[marble shadow]

legendaries are soloable but i’m pretty sure raids arent

[hallow saddle]

I saw a lot of people fail at the raid tried looking for widds Marco style and noskills but couldn't find em doing raid solo vids

[inner tendon]

Incursions really shouldn't be compared directly to Raids, they're more than just longer missions.

[marble shadow]

oh maybe incursions are more like strongholds then(?) idk i didnt do any

[inner tendon]

Incursions are kinda closer to Strongholds, or the Pentagon.
they were just longer missions with some niche-ish mechanics. But that doesn't matter in div2.

[plush horizon]

where can i get dark winter? can i just get it anywhere or does it have a specific drop

[narrow kraken]

I believe it’s a dark Zone only drop but I can’t remember

[plush horizon]

oh ok

[narrow kraken]

Dark Winter is available only from DZ, Conflict caches, Legacy season caches and Named caches

[plush horizon]

do people still play conflict?

[willow gale]

yes

thou it is awful

[plush horizon]

damn i keep on getting spawnkilled in dz

[narrow kraken]

Conflict is alright

[willow gale]

dont tell yourself lies

[steep heart]

is there any other way to get memento other than drops?

[foggy needle]

Exotic caches, but that is much much much more RNG then just farming target loot.

[versed pumice]

Get it from current season reward track

[steep heart]

oh ok

[marble shadow]

what's the difference between an AR and an LMG? like.. in general, not specific to the game; how does a gun get classified one way or another?

[grand nebula]

the ammo mostly, is my understanding of it

[plush horizon]

what smg attributes should i be looking out for

or like in general

[worn ether]

I just got back into the game what should I be doing I know I am not too far into the game

[grand nebula]

3rd atribute damage to targets out of cover

[plush horizon]

oh aite

[grand nebula]

talent wise, killer, fast hands, unwavering, in sync etc

[ivory sundial]

Question

[grand nebula]

Answer

[ivory sundial]

I got my friend the tally scope yesterday

Since Roosevelt is invaded

Can he still do it to get a part?

I don’t think he’s done his invasion on his side

[grand nebula]

nope

it can only drop on the first clear of the week

[ivory sundial]

Ooooooh

[grand nebula]

so his first part from a stronghold will be next week

[ivory sundial]

Okay

[strange prairie]

For Field Research: Tech stage 5 will doing tidal basin count as an invaded stronghold?

[vague onyx]

Hi, how do I become host and start matchmaking to allow people to join? Everytime I start matchmaking, I get an invite, I ignore it but then matchmaking drops.

[ivory sundial]

Change your group privacy to open

Go to social then go to group privacy

[vague onyx]

I couldn't find it. Oh I found it. thank you

[narrow kraken]

You can also try going into your social menu when you recieve an invite and instead inviting that player into your group

I find it works sometimes since they are also looking for a group, and once you have more than one player in your group the game will only look for solo players to join you

[vague onyx]

I've changed it to open group but dut does it recognize what I'm doing, like if I'm doing random activity or open world exploration, or bounty, main quest etc? Or should I still start a matchmaking for specific things?

[inner tendon]

No, because it's their Stronghold, it's not "invaded" exactly.

[strange prairie]

Thank you.

[winged canopy]

how do i get the scorpio and contractors gloves?? and if so what are the drop chances?

[tulip fiber]

Scorpio: target loot shotguns
Contractor’s: target loot Petrov

Not sure for drop chance, but it’ll increase with directives added

[grand nebula]

targeted loot

[ivory sundial]

Question

[true siren]

Answer

[ivory sundial]

If a person does not have WONY, am I able to activate them since I have it?

[true siren]

...huh?

Activate them?

[ivory sundial]

Oh

[willow gale]

activate them ?

[ivory sundial]

The hunters I forgot I meant them

I forget too early

[willow gale]

not the NYC ones

idk about the DC ones but for sure not the NYC hunters

[ivory sundial]

Aw crap

[true siren]

DC ones you can activate

[ivory sundial]

Alrighty then

[true siren]

but not the NYC ones as far as i'm aware

[ivory sundial]

Sorry about the first bit

[true siren]

its cool, happens more often than you'd think ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ivory sundial]

How do some people get to the off site exploring area

I’ve seen people on very flat grounds

Which makes me wonder how they got there

[inner tendon]

They glitch out of bounds.
as such, not really allowed to talk about it on here. I'm sure there's other places where you can tho.

[heady storm]

Hey guys im wondering. Hox hard is the legendary difficulty?

[autumn walrus]

Not very hard when you have good build , team and know what to do. With all that its not that hard, its just longer than usual missions

[robust dagger]

Hey , everytime I change directives and difficulty on the summit, it resets my progress to floor 1 again , meaning I have to grind it all again. Is this normal? Is there a way to avoid this reset?

[heady storm]

How about in solo tho @autumn walrus ?

[autumn walrus]

Never tried it solo yet

[heady storm]

Oh right

Thanks for the answer :D

[dim gust]

@heady storm If you are playing a build you're comfortable with and understanding the weaknesses, and how to cover those weaknesses, then legendary is fine solo. You have to be able to identify the biggest threats quickly and eliminate them before they become a real problem.

[heady storm]

Okay so I need to try it! Thanks

[faint plover]

I haven't seen mine reset on difficulty or directive changes.

I change the directives all the time

[grand nebula]

Solo strongholds are extremely hard
And solo summit is just very hard

Summit solo is doable in many setups, but solo strongholds it doesnt matter how "comfortable" you are with the build

[heady storm]

Hmm,thanks :o

[fallow inlet]

Solo strongholds no prob ,but I still need help with legendary lol

[twin forum]

Am i the only one Who doesnt like doing solo legendary content? I prefer doing it in a group, that way i can be more flexible with my build haha

[narrow kraken]

I'm sure out of all the players who have ever played div2

You are not the only one

[inner tendon]

Legendary really isn't meant to be solo'd, last I checked it doesn't even scale down to 1 player from 4, it's super not meant to be solo'd.

[autumn path]

with the type of gear we got lmao, even duos got doable

as in, quite easy if you are careful

[inner tendon]

Never said it was impossible, just that it's not meant to be.

[autumn path]

ah true but my point is I think they kind of made it easier now, compared to what they intended at launch

with so many good weapons

Capacitor by itself turned the tables

not to mention Scorpio

I remember getting Harmony and being impressed, but the gun itself was just a conduit for the talent really

now with Capacitor I am a semi-dps also while doing even more damage

[grand nebula]

Depends, sometimes likee soloing to take stuff at my pace and sometimes i like grouping

[grand nebula]

It scales, not much but it does spawn less

[timid vessel]

for 100 # of hunters is based on grp size?

[narrow kraken]

Yes

[hot hearth]

fastest way to get contractors crit dmg or hs dmg and foxes too

[willow gale]

farm overloard targettd loot and petroc targetted loot

[hot hearth]

is summit gewd or wait for overlord/petrov to be in open world zone

[willow gale]

summit and open world are exactly the same in terms of good for farming

[ivory sundial]

2 sadges

[narrow kraken]

There area a total of 4 skills I need to unlock from main Manhunt missions correct?

[inner tendon]

Yep, each final mission has a Skill.

[narrow kraken]

Alright, thank you, was more worried about the number of skills so I dont miss any.Four it is 🙂

[inner tendon]

Think of it kinda like the WONY ones, only you get these before the boss, not after.

[sacred kraken]

It's good to craft that set gear or pass it?

[inner tendon]

Which gearset?

[ivory sundial]

I think he means the HF set in the pass

[inner tendon]

Oh, bit vaguely worded but alright.
in the case of HF, deffo work on making a decent set for yourself. It's incredibly good for close-range DPS builds.

[fallow inlet]

Morning rivens

[inner tendon]

yo

[hot hearth]

is there a way to hold floor 100 in summit without 2nd persons account

[inner tendon]

Yes. Kill all but 1 Hunter and then die.
rinse and repeat!

[hot hearth]

will they drop loot still ?

the next time

[inner tendon]

The loot should still be there when you respawn, but maybe take turns in picking it up if with a group first.

[hot hearth]

if u kill hunters next time would more loot drop or they wont drop anything i wonder

[inner tendon]

More loot will drop, however make sure you don't leave the drops there for too long. They'll eventually despawn.

[hot hearth]

yeah oke ill try that later

[twin forum]

Im usually doing that in a group, where 1 leaves when there is only 1 hunter left, rest finish the hunter. Then repeat the entire 100th floor again, but this time smn else leaves and Just keep doing that rotation. Yesterday we were doing that in sub 10 mins while wasting too much time checking what we got since most of the times our inv is close to fill (mine is around 100,but a friend is always 140+)

Sometimes its longer since hunters can be rly annoying and almost never Rush lmao

[hot hearth]

im trying to do it with 2 players cuz dont have more friends unless i find some ppl in cord for it

[karmic trail]

question about buying the game, if i enjoyed the division one would i enjoy the division 2? is it similar to the division one or is it completely different?

[hot hearth]

imo pvp is way worse in d2 but pve is pretty gewd

[narrow kraken]

^

[karmic trail]

i was never a pvp person in the division so thats a good start

[hot hearth]

but i would say if u can get it on sale i wouldnt pay full price theres not much devs do anymore

[ivory sundial]

No I don’t think I will

[twin forum]

Same with me

Never was a pvp person, i enjoyed div1, now i enjoy div2 few times more

[karmic trail]

well thats good to know

i'll probably pick it up

[narrow kraken]

Div2 steps it up in the pve department for sure

Got more content coming at the end of the year too

[karmic trail]

is the loot system the same as one?

[narrow kraken]

Pretty much

Worth noting that you will need the warlords of new York dlc to get the most out of the game

[hot hearth]

@sullen ridge not rly u do high end builds mostly but fiew gear sets are good

[narrow kraken]

You will be seperated from most endgame players otherwise

[hot hearth]

true

[fallow inlet]

If you get the game go allthe way thru before going to warlords. Then with your 2nd character jump directly to warlords

[unreal wagon]

Hey everyone! Currently searching for "Chainkiller" to make a proper "headhunter" build, and i just got one in the summit, but the rolls are aweful, skill haste and health - so i was just wondering if more could drop while i have the chest in my inventory already, or it counts as "okay, he has one already, so he wont get another until he stashes it, sells it or salvage it"

[inner tendon]

There's no limit to the amount of Named Items you can have. Farm away!

[unreal wagon]

Always here with a response, thank you so much! i'll keep farming!

[vague onyx]

I guess loadouts can't save different elements from same specialization tree. I had two build that uses same specializations tree but different weapons, I guess I have dump one of them.

[grand nebula]

They dont but theres no case where this is a big deal

Most times you can just pick the most common 3 and be fine

[inner tendon]

another option is to do a few of them at "mostly" done, gets you some bonuses while being able to cover more ground.

[narrow kraken]

I got bit of an issue. I cannot run the Faye Lau manhunt, it doesn't appear when I toggle the different mission options for Camp White Oak. I have completed all the prior manhunts, and I played during Season 4. I am currently rank 100 in Season 6. Any ideas why it doesn't appear?

[inner tendon]

Have you completed the base version of Camp White Oak?

[narrow kraken]

I've ran it through on story, normal and invaded normal

[inner tendon]

On that same character?

[narrow kraken]

Yes

[inner tendon]

hmm.

[narrow kraken]

It seems odd as I have the other manhunts like Jupiter and Hornet, but Faye Lau at Camp White Oak doesn't change to manhunt variant like Tidal Basin and Rosevelt Island does

[inner tendon]

I haven't done it since Season 4, so it's a little hazy, but are there other steps that you have available to you?

[narrow kraken]

I ran it in season 4 and completed it. Whenever I join someone that can run the mission I get "progress locked" and the mission appears as locked to them so they can't start it either, as long as I'm within their group

[inner tendon]

That is very odd.
I'd offer to test it out with you, but ya know, wrong platform.

[narrow kraken]

Yeah, appreciate the thought :)

[narrow kraken]

Which is better between the first half of a measured mag and the first half of an optimist mag

[willow gale]

measured is better then optimist

there both still shit

[narrow kraken]

Ye but I was just interested

I see 45% or spotter players running on and 45% running the other

[grand nebula]

optimist is more dps, measured is more damage over an entire mag
as far as your question, first half of optimist mag is more damage but firs half of measured is more dps

[narrow kraken]

Ok

[pulsar osprey]

Older player coming back after a year, is the community still active enough to still run into people?

[willow gale]

yes

[pulsar osprey]

Sweet, thanks!

[ivory sundial]

What does reconfig do for exotics?

[grand nebula]

rerolls all the stats to new random values

[fallow inlet]

@narrow kraken look and see what you have to do to unlock that mission, I think you might have missed something( small)

[narrow kraken]

It's part of the season pass level 53 or 54 prime hunt (the manhunt itself) but it still says locked

[fallow inlet]

@narrow kraken sorry you misunderstood I mean her personal manhunt

Not season

[narrow kraken]

Ohh, yeah. That means I have to wait until season 8 to redo her whole manhunt. But I'm not sure where I would check the progress of her specific manhunt

[fallow inlet]

Ok there we go yup that makes sense, look on YouTube,that should help,but still gotta wait

🙁

[narrow kraken]

Yeah, haven't had any luck with Youtube or anything. Thought I'd give it a shot here to find the solution. Appreciate the help :)

[fallow inlet]

No prob the big miss is normally the bounties ,you get everthing done and you miss a bounty and get locked out or for get to donate something.

[narrow kraken]

Yeah, I'll probably fly through every bounty I got on the maps and hope that sorts it, if not, I gotta way until the season it reappears and sort it out there

[vague onyx]

Hey, in the manhunt page, it says "Reset the Manhunt to replay the activities and earn additional rewards." I thought we could get past rewards like "Achilles Pulse" or "Repair Trap". I did all of them again and I was wrong. So I'm guessing, we have to wait for 3 months to get another reward if the target comes back again, right?

[fallow inlet]

youll have to wait for those manhunts

[vague onyx]

rip

[ivory sundial]

Can’t you earn the skill variant by replaying past manhunt missions?

[vague onyx]

No, I did it and I did not get another skill.

[fallow inlet]

its bad guy specific

[ivory sundial]

Yea hornets manhunt mission earns the repair trap

[vague onyx]

But I dropped a Devil's Due from Shade which should be a "DZ" drop people say but I dropped it in New York.

[autumn path]

you unlock previous manhunt missions in the season track

[twilit otter]

It is a DZ drop but there is a chance DZ drops can come from Manhunt targets

[grand nebula]

^this

[narrow kraken]

I saw some people seem pretty anti honey badger here earlier

Is here any particular reason why?

Looking to make first AR build

[willow gale]

It’s a c7

With 1 less mod slot

And I’m pretty sure slightly less dmg

It’s a downgraded c7

It also sounds like a few cloth

[narrow kraken]

Still worse for pvp?

C7 got lower burst

[cyan coral]

Hey, stupid question but can you still change the targeted loot pool on summit?

[ivory sundial]

Yes

[willow gale]

Yes

C7 is also more accurate

[narrow kraken]

Okok

If I had to pick out of ctar, m4 and honey badger which would I pick

Or would I fuck them all off and get a c7

[willow gale]

M4

[narrow kraken]

I'm trying to avoid fsmring a c7

[willow gale]

Ctar is unfortunately the Famas’s shit brother

[narrow kraken]

Damn

Feels like it handles so nicely

[willow gale]

It does, but unfortunately the dps is quite a bit lower

Still useable thou

[narrow kraken]

I'll use the fucken

Big horny

[willow gale]

It’s pretty good for pvp on a hazard regen bulid

[narrow kraken]

I was not expecting it to fire as quick as it does

[willow gale]

850 rpm is very nice

Especially with the HSD mod it has

[narrow kraken]

Even better than the EB perhaps...

[willow gale]

Depends

EB is extremely bad for certain situations and extremely good for certain situations

[narrow kraken]

I'll get round to an EB build next

[plush horizon]

how long until the season ends?

[narrow kraken]

Would 12% CHD on a crit capped build make up for the difference between the AK M and the next highest dps AK

[robust dagger]

Final part for dodge city holster not appearing for 5 days now at noon 😓 anybody know why

[shy pawn]

anyone know the max number you can reach in the Commendation please?

[inner tendon]

Noon in-game time?

[inner tendon]

as of 2 years ago, it was 4850.
I'd assume that it'll keep going up as they add more content.

[shy pawn]

hehe yes, its over 7000 now (no its not over 9000 😉 )

[gentle yew]

is there any faster way to get the Scorpio besides just farming shotgun target loot?

[fallow inlet]

Higher lvl w/ directives

[grand nebula]

Not even close

[narrow kraken]

:(

It didn't look too bad in the firing range

[grand nebula]

Actually i read that the other way around, the other variants have lower base damage, so if you can make up the same crit and chd you get more damage

[narrow kraken]

I see i see

The military ak m would just allow me to use a chc muzzle and therefore an extra CHD mod/attribute

Was hoping that if it was weaker then it would at least be a neglible difference since the ak m looks so much nicer imo

[twin forum]

I feel akm kinda too slow :c

Its a nice weapon tho

[narrow kraken]

It's hella slow

[twin forum]

@versed pumice reset is tmrw, right

I might try to do DH tonight

[versed pumice]

Si on a Tuesday

Along with the usually weekly resets tho Cassie on Wednesday

[versed pumice]

Best of luck

[twin forum]

Ty

Hopefully there Will be a group accepting newbs

[versed pumice]

True

[topaz bane]

what is the drop percentage of the eagle bearer from the bosses in dark hour

[willow gale]

1% from bosses. 10%~(I think) from the chest

[narrow kraken]

1% from bosses, and 10% from the chest at the end of the raid.

[fallow inlet]

Afternoon oddet

[delicate vessel]

Anyone wanna team up for some grouped missions for a bounty?

[willow gale]

#556242736114696202

best place to find ppl

[versed pumice]

Damn that's higher than getting a bighorn

[frozen wigeon]

doing a project and the last part is "Neutralize Hunters 0/2", the heck is a hunter

[versed pumice]

Bosses similar to rogues that can hack ur stuff n whatnot u can always find em n kill it in summit floor 100

[frozen wigeon]

oooo ok

[versed pumice]

I think there's also another one in one of the missions at the top of the map I forgot which one tho n forgot if it's a hunter or rogue

[narrow kraken]

You can trigger a few of them to appear in free room too. Schaffer's manhunt has a given hunter towards the end. Summit floor 100 is another way to hunt hunters.

[fallow inlet]

Use summit 100 easier

[marble shadow]

wow thank you so much!

😐

[merry cobalt]

And where you can found chest keys?

[narrow kraken]

Would be better off with a YouTube tutorial tbh

[narrow kraken]

Scattered throughout the raid itself. locations can be found on YT

[merry cobalt]

Ohk

[rigid kraken]

Why do some bounties have an orange dot next to it? Like the Delta Company and Tribeca Gang

I would post a picture but I don't have permission

[grand nebula]

bounty names are random but it can be the faction, the dificulty, wheter its daily, clan or weekly etc

[marble shadow]

orange dot is daily i believe

[narrow kraken]

Orange is daily, white/blue is weekly I believe and manhunt symbol is either past seasons or current season

[ivory sundial]

I think yellow applys to the current manhunt bounties

[fickle coral]

Just wondering because I couldn't find it anywhere. Do the shd level bonuses to weapon dmg, crit chance, armor %, etc. apply in the dz?

[willow gale]

Yes

[winged canopy]

whats the assault rifle with the highest base damage (division 2)

[narrow kraken]

The AK M

If you're not including the bighorn semi auto

[winged canopy]

i knew it

thank you appreciate it

[narrow kraken]

Not to be confused with the military AK M

How is it possible to get suspended from Xbox Live for posting the following LFG Post?

" Active Lv 30 Clan, 44 Members, Recruiting Lv 40 players. We do, Raids, Legendary, Summit, DZ, Conflict, Events, Interested, message me. Clan Discord Available, Clan 73 on Leaderboard XP "

I'm a paying customer for 11 years, how is it possible, and what can I do about it. I have already requested a appeal. It's been 2 days and nothing yet. I also reported Microsoft to the Business Bureau

[willow gale]

reporting Microsoft to a business bureau is going to do nothing for u my friend

submit an appeal and ur just gonna have to wait

[rigid hedge]

I know man, but I think is unfair for that to be done when you are a paying xbox player for 11 years.

I have done that already and it's been 2 days and nothing has been done. I probably will be suspended for the time they game me. I have also had my lawyer sent a letter to the legal department of Microsoft. I know it sound stupid to some probably, but it's unfair to get suspended when you are just trying to have fun in the game and posting a LFG post to find active players.

[narrow kraken]

You probably did something wrong

[rigid hedge]

I did nothing wrong. what I posted on the LFG post is listed above.

[narrow kraken]

Something else maybe

[rigid hedge]

Very positive post, friendly and I follow all the guide lines from xbox

No, it show on my email what I'm been suspended for and is my LFG post. Someone reported me because we are a top 100 clan on Div 2.

[willow gale]

report bots are always perfect

[rigid hedge]

So I'm going to guess who reported my LFG post has a connection with xbox. I'm going to file legal actions if that's what it takes . I have the funds.

[willow gale]

but trying to sue microsoft for suspending u is gonna get u no where. Im pretty sure they dont have to give any reason at all to suspend u.if u broke TOS, if u dont think u did or not u get suspended.

my friend

u are highly over reacting over a simply xbox suspension

[rigid hedge]

You are probably right bud, it's the point that they can get away with it.

[true siren]

yeah thats an overreaction, and threatening to sue is just gonna make things worse

[rigid hedge]

It's not fair bud, when you know nothing was done wrong. It's all about who has friend inside.

[narrow kraken]

Nah sue Microsoft

Funny

[rigid hedge]

Why you think is funny? because they have money?

[willow gale]

dude, do u really think someone from inside microsoft has something against u and has banned u for zero reason?

[rigid hedge]

probably not, but they should look at the post before they suspend a player, that's the fair thing to do.

[willow gale]

i hate to break it to you but thats not exactly how it works. things are scanned for keywords and phrases by a bot. if it detects something it suspends u. By submitting an appeal, yes a real person will go over it at some point. microsoft is a big company and u are one person.

[true siren]

^

"Its not fair bud" means nothing

[willow gale]

Bots mess up, things go wrong. u just have to be patient

[rigid hedge]

I know they are a big company bud, they have to clue how much I have in my 6 bank accounts.

[true siren]

Also just cause ya were a customer for 11 years, you dont get preferential treatment

6 bank accounts, wao, flex

[willow gale]

ur amount of money or status means nothing

[rigid hedge]

I'm not asking for any special treatment everyone is the same. I was just saying treat people fairly.

[true siren]

They are treating everyone fairly

People get flagged for stuff all the time

[rigid hedge]

I just think that this country is going to clap, because big companies and having people in there pockets.

Sometime the little guy has to speak up.

[true siren]

Yeah nah thats not how it works

[willow gale]

its simply an error in the system, they happen. and for one thing, sueing them is pointless. you can take them to small claims court and maybe get ur account unbanned a few hours sooner?

[rigid hedge]

It's cool, i will just wait until a decision is made by a real person, and hopefully they will see that it was a clean and normal post. And if not tell me what was wrong with it so I fix it. I just want to play the game with my 44 friends and have fun.

Here is the post... can someone tell me what is wrong with it, if anything?" Active Lv 30 Clan, 44 Members, Recruiting Lv 40 players. We do, Raids, Legendary, Summit, DZ, Conflict, Events, Interested, message me. Clan Discord Available, Clan 73 on Leaderboard XP "
In the heading select, - Lvl 40 - Adults - Positive People Only - Have Fun

[versed pumice]

Looks good I see nothing wrong with it

[willow gale]

He already posted this

[foggy needle]

not being mean or anything but FYI, you'd have to chat with Xbox live about your xbox ban. there is literately nothing the devs/ massive can do as it was a different company that did the ban.

[willow gale]

I don’t think I can explain this anymore to him

[rigid hedge]

I know that, I was just asking for advise from other players, thanks everyone.

[summer charm]

Hello need advice new player when it comes to armour and stuff should I always take the better armour level or should I also use skill tier into account?

[true siren]

if you wanna use skills, use skill tier stuff. If you wanna use weapons, use weapon damage stuff, if you wanna be more tanky, use armor stuff. Generally use the higher level stuff

[narrow kraken]

You could always be kind 'bout it and email them about why you're suspended/banned. Usually they give you a reason, and if you're unsure which part of the ToS you broke, they'll mostlikely give it to you. You shared your Email (if I understand it right) That would breach their ToS as you're sharing account information.

However, I'd still say give it a go and contact their support and explain the situation. You never know. They may revoke it after they understand the situation better.

[narrow kraken]

Higher level for the most part the way to go until you reach your level cap ( be it lvl 30, score 501, or lvl 40)

[ivory sundial]

If i buy the pass at 78 will i earn the recent rewards

[tulip fiber]

You’ll get everything prior, yes

[frozen wigeon]

Can headshots also be crits?

[willow gale]

yes

[frozen wigeon]

Are there any headshot dmg + crit dmg stacking sniper builds for memes

I want to absolutely blow my load on someone with one bullet in darkzone, even if it means i'm completely useless afterwards/if i miss

[grand nebula]

its reduntant, having 300% headshot damage or 200% headshot and 100% crit damage is the same

[ivory sundial]

If a teammate does while trying to activate generators for weirdo and drama

Do we have to get the generator keys again?

[grand nebula]

if the hunters didnt spawn you should still be able to finish the puzzle and spawn them

if there was a team wipe then youd need to restart i think

[ivory sundial]

Ok

Because I had to feed my pups and I died while doing so

My teammate was sitting gen 2

Alive

[grand nebula]

see if you can still interact with the stuff

[ivory sundial]

Yea we’re waiting for night time atm

Unless that hinders the process

[grand nebula]

Im not entirely sure how it works in grps

[ivory sundial]

Dw we got it handled

[stark plaza]

hello everyone. can some one tell me what are raids for and how i can join one?

[fallow inlet]

@stark plaza Eph just told you in New player And please don't multipost , you might get yelled at😀

[stark plaza]

@fallow inlet Copy

[narrow kraken]

I have a question

So I finished the wony campaign and was wondering what I should be doing next

Should I make a build or do the seasonal stuff

[fallow inlet]

Actually both

Seasonal and manhunt get free stuff

[narrow kraken]

I know as far as build making goes

I need a gear set right

I can find stuff like that by using the targeted loot map

[fallow inlet]

And raids

Yes

Look in New player for raid explanation

And use summit

[narrow kraken]

Ok

What gear set should I go for? Or should I go for a gear set that helps my play style

[ivory sundial]

I’d choose on your preference

If you wanna try and rush in crazy, hunters fury a good bet

If you like sniping aces and 8s is a good set

[narrow kraken]

Mmm

I will check them both out thanks

[fervent widget]

Hi, I'm new and just got a backfire with 68k dmg. My question is, is there a way for me to upgrade the damage because I've seen videos where other level 40 people have backfires with around 120k dmg stat. Does the damage number have to do with the difficulty i was on when the item dropped??

[true siren]

difficulty no, but level & weapon damage stats yes

[fervent widget]

wait but if i'm already level 40, how do i get a higher number?

[true siren]

what % is the main stat on the backfire, and what is your build like?

Is it all yellows? all reds? blues? Some combination?

[fervent widget]

i think all exotics have the same stats and the bars are mostyly full? don't have a build cause i'm new. does your build affect the damage number the weapon shows 😮

[true siren]

yes, the stat #s it shows are changed with your build

[fervent widget]

i'm a little skeptical though because when i equip and unequip different weapons, their stats stay the same. I'm talking about the damage number shown directly on the weapon. not the stats page

like does reconfiguring exotics at level 40 give a chance for the damage to be higher???

this game really sucks at explaining how to progress for endgame

[true siren]

It'll change the percentages, not the damage directly

I know you are talking about the damage number on the weapon itself

[fervent widget]

huh, so how do other ppl have the same exotics with higher dmg numbers on it?!?!?

i'm so confused

[true siren]

because they have more weapon damage on their build

[fervent widget]

but u said it'll change the percents not the damage directly, idk 😢

[true siren]

You asked about reconfiguring. Reconfiguring will change the percentages.

Seperately, people have weapons with higher damage numbers shown on the weapon by getting more weapon damage rolls from their gear, and the weapon damage percentage on the weapon itself.

[fervent widget]

wait but i already have like 13% smg dmg yadad yada yada. it's not perfect but it's close to full. how does like 2 extra percent on the gear result in a 200% increase in dmg displayed on the weapon. And as i mentioned before equiping and unequiping weapons does not affect the dmg displayed on the weapon, so armor bonsuses shouldn't affect that value

[true siren]

You misunderstand me. What does your build look like, the main cores.

[fervent widget]

most youtubers with this weapon have like above 100k dmg displayed

i'll dm u

[grand nebula]

the damage that shows in game like that depends on your gear, more specifically how much weapon damage you have

[twin forum]

Ye, weapons alone r not enough, good gear is needed

[marble shadow]

equip and unequip different gear and it’ll show on the weapon

[gentle yew]

Hey, can you progress field research of e.g. the firewall spec while using the technician spec?

or do you need to have the one equipped that you are working on?

[tulip fiber]

No. The spec you want to upgrade needs to be equipped

[grand nebula]

you can do the research in any specc, but you need to be the desired spec for the points

[gentle yew]

okay thanks

can I check on my progress on the fly with some hotkey? Or do I have to go back to the white house everytime to check my progress?

[grand nebula]

you can go into the progress panel and track from there

[gentle yew]

@grand nebula how do you go in the progress panel though?

ah got it, thanks

[next chasm]

Quick Question , I am a returning Agent to DC , It's been well over a year and 2 of my friends have recently joined up , we are thinking about joining up for the raids SOON™️. I was thinking about running them through Dark Hours first. Has the roles changed for the raid or what rolls are the "Meta" right now for the 2 raids. I recently built up a Skill for Legendary missions , 1 is a tank build , and another is damage. Any ideas which way we should look for a build , or are the raids that simple now it shouldn't full matter?

[inner tendon]

You're probs better off asking that in #td2-raid-discussions, get more informed answers in there.

welcome back, Agent.

[next chasm]

@inner tendon You are a fantastic hooman , i appreciate the redirection ,I'll go swing by there , and Thank you , Feels good to be back in DC

[hallow raptor]

A strong all red dps build is always welcome in either raid.

[next chasm]

Thank you ^_^

[inner tendon]

If you're going that route, just pop on the "Full Meta Jacket" build that's pinned in #td2-build-advice's spreadsheet and you're good to go.

[real isle]

I dont understand league activity

is the reward for doing the whole thing a patch?

[inner tendon]

basically, you earn "points" by doing the activities along the way, each new Tier giving you a cache.
the final reward (of 60 points) is a Shoulder Patch.

You can absolutely just do the 4 missions at Rank 10 in the first week, and then a couple of Hard ones in Week 2, and that'll get you to Rank 60 by itself.

[real isle]

any other aspect to gameplay or story like why are they tied to a specefic rogue agent?

[inner tendon]

*Rogue.
basically, it's a lore-setup to help intro taking them down.

[real isle]

ok thx

[real isle]

damm I have been spelling it wrong my whole life 😛

[inner tendon]

lol nw.
if it helps, Rouge = a shade of red. Rogue = bad Agent.

[real isle]

another question what would be the fastest way to max out ceramics? collect form control point/do outcast missions?

[real isle]

thx that would definitely help remember

[inner tendon]

never really had the reason to farm them, but armour decon, outcasts, CPs, etc are all viable.

[real isle]

I always seem to run out of em somehow only ceramics

armour decon seems to give fabric only I dont get ceramics

i get those yellow parts though

[inner tendon]

Not sure if it's intentional or just people assuming it's the case, but maxing out the other mats and then decon'ing reportedly gets you more of the one you're missing.
I wouldn't be super shocked if that was the case, seems like a decent system.

[real isle]

hmm

[inner tendon]

worth a shot!

[real isle]

nope not getting ceramics from armour decon. getting carbon fiber though as fabric is already maxed out

does the gear have to be a blue roll?

[inner tendon]

Uh nope, rolls don't matter.

[real isle]

ok just got now

when decon bunch of stuff

mixed weapongear etc

[inner tendon]

Oh yeah, decon en-masse. Way more efficient.

[real isle]

that should be pinned 😛

thx

[inner tendon]

im sure it's mentioned in Eph's guide, or the spreadsheet lol.

They've checked that out already, but good general advice!

[fallow inlet]

@next chasm go with a good dps build if you've never done one and let them know your new

Afternoon rivens

[jovial wyvern]

how can i decontaminate contaminated gear?

ohhhh okay i see

[inner tendon]

morning, Saph

[vague onyx]

Is there anyone managed to finish Manning National Zoo on Challenging under 18 minutes? cutscenes and gates takes too much time.

did you done it?

[twilit otter]

Probably best to do it solo or in a duo

[vague onyx]

in solo, taking C4 and running back to place would take more time I assume.

[twilit otter]

No it's easier solo

[grand nebula]

duo is always the fastest

for any missions

[vague onyx]

okay, let's put it in a test. anyone wishing to be my duo?

[grand nebula]

if you dont mind waiting a bit i can tag along, i dont mind

need like 20min

[vague onyx]

sure thing. just pm me

[last ingot]

Hi agents i need help i deconstructed my exotic dodge city by mistake and now i need to get it back i have the blueprint and i have 3 component im just missing last component (fast leather belt) how to get this component please i need help with this problem.

[grand nebula]

@vague onyxim good to go, whats your id?

[vague onyx]

my ingame name?

[grand nebula]

i dont remember where each piece is but just look up a guide and do the thing they tell you

[grand nebula]

yes

[vague onyx]

TheHaplo

[last ingot]

this piece should drop from the chest but didn't drop to me

[grand nebula]

go farm holster loot then

[grand nebula]

open your grp

yes

[vague onyx]

It is proven; duo is the best. It's done in 15:30 minutes.

[grand nebula]

could have been sub 15 if we coordinated better too

i got stuck in terrain like 20 times

[vague onyx]

What about the leaderboard? It says some people completed under 6 minutes? Is it true?

[grand nebula]

nah, bugs and hacks

[vague onyx]

Easy ban

[grand nebula]

if only

[vague onyx]

yeah

[grand nebula]

thanks for having me log in haplo, seems like i havent done this league before so theres stuff i dont have rofl

gonna do the rest too

[vague onyx]

thank you for help.

[true siren]

Aww, eph being nice. Rare sight

[grand nebula]

i like speedruns

[ivory sundial]

dream music

[grand nebula]

if thats a youtuber refrence then no, i dont cheat

[ivory sundial]

well i know im just saying

[grand nebula]

sorry that fandom just makes me cringe so hard i that i get nauseated at the mention

[ivory sundial]

doesnt everyone

stans are the worst part for me

[true siren]

I feel bad for people named stan

[ivory sundial]

thats true tho

[versed pumice]

Ah Stan good ol Eminem

[leaden glen]

Idk if I'm dumb but how do you get lady death

[versed pumice]

Open exotic caches, farm open world bosses in New York n above all hit up summit, set it to heroic + 4-7+ directives n set target loot to smgs n farm

Could do open world stuff like cp’s n whatnot in a target loot area that’s smg but summit more effective id say do all the above so u won’t get bored

[leaden glen]

Alright thanks much

[versed pumice]

Np gl farming hope rng good chief

[south moth]

Can you loot the raid exclusive drops on both raids separately before reset?

[grand nebula]

well yes, theyre independent pools of loot, one has no influence on the other

[south moth]

Cool thanks

[fallow inlet]

@south moth if your gonna try that remember to do it on Monday(if you miss previous week) and tuesday

[real isle]

is kenly college timegated or something

cant seem to go there it says next available at an unannounced time

[tulip fiber]

Every few weeks it gets opened. Usually the first week that the new manhunt is available. I think that’s how they did it.

[real isle]

😦

[grand nebula]

its 2 weeks off 1 week on

[ivory sundial]

What does reconfigure do to exotics?

[tulip fiber]

It rerolls the attributes. Same attributes, different percentages.

[ivory sundial]

Oooo

Better try that soon

[inner tendon]

note: the % is random, it can roll worse.

[versed pumice]

That or u might get lucky n get a god rolled

[ivory sundial]

Well its atleast a good way to spend my exo comps

Rolled worse or not

[versed pumice]

Yea it's a gamble

But since exotic components easy to get it's all good

[autumn path]

raid

[versed pumice]

Iron horse raid

[vital rampart]

does hollow-point ammo weapon dmg buff aply on aly too?

[tiny granite]

@vital rampart also if you have hollow point ammo and then switch to any other build, it turns back into normal explosive bullets

I was disappointed when I found out

[narrow kraken]

Can you get the chatterbox from the exotic cache you get for doing the weekly legendary

[willow gale]

No

U have to craft it first

[versed pumice]

Gotta do the project n get the blueprint after that it'll be in the general target loot along with exotic cache's

[real isle]

is the shd watch level shared between characters?

nice thx

[slim sundial]

[patent vigil]

Where is the snitch

[inner tendon]

snitch is randomised between the possible spawns.
fastest way to check the spawns is to use something like division2map.com and work out a packed route.

[ivory sundial]

I find him sitting next inside the garage left of the castle settlement

[inner tendon]

It's random, Skull.

[ivory sundial]

I mean thats where i usually find him

[inner tendon]

r.a.n.d.o.m.

[ivory sundial]

Oh your right

Hes not here

Sorry for the misunderstanding then

[molten granite]

hi, is the Enforcer named shotgun an available drop from targeted loot areas?

[autumn path]

no it was from preorders of the dlc

[calm quest]

So I have a question. I have 3 lvl 40 characters but wanted to play on lvl 30 for a bit.
If I get account shared materials and blueprints will that remove my nemesis project from lvl 30 character?

[grand nebula]

nemesis project?

[calm quest]

yeah getting a piece from each stronghold and blueprint from grand washington hotel

[grand nebula]

i mean its not a project but no it wont remove it

[calm quest]

I am truly sorry for choosing wrong words

[alpine python]

can i get the scorpio shotgun even if i didnt buy like the battle pass or smthn. can i get it as world tier 5 levl 30 or do i need to have Warlords of new york?

[true siren]

need to have WONY but dont need to buy the season

[alpine python]

thanks i just wasted 3 hours thinking i could get it

[ivory sundial]

where or how can you get the pinprick

and is there another way to get the adrestia again?

[twilit otter]

You can get Pinprick from DZ, conflict or named caches

[ivory sundial]

and the adrestia?

[crimson bough]

Another character, then you could probably put it in your stash and transfer to your main to scrap

[ivory sundial]

might as well

[fallow inlet]

Yup have done it multiple times now it just drops for me

[ivory sundial]

wait what-

[inner tendon]

Adrestia can only spawn if your char doesn't have one/none in your Stash.
so transfer it to a diff char and you can get another one.

[ivory sundial]

so if i used my 2nd character to try and get the adrestia

and send it to my stash

i can use it from there on my main

????

[inner tendon]

If it's in your stash or on that character, you can't get it with that same character.

Send the Adrestia you have to character B, then you can get it on character A.

[ivory sundial]

So acquire with B then send it to A?

Does that follow?

[inner tendon]

yes, if you want a 2nd copy for some reason.

[ivory sundial]

Oh well i wanted cuz i never really played with it before i started getting nemesis

[inner tendon]

It's actually just an SR-1, but yeah go get a copy if ya wanna try it out.

[idle island]

I haven't done either of the raids via LFG in a long time.. what are the current strats people are using for DH and IH for LFG groups?

or should I be asking in a different channel?

[ivory sundial]

do you mean current builds they use?

[idle island]

builds and/or strats

I assume the builds are an essential part of the strategies?

[ivory sundial]

iron horse is mainly worked around mechanics but mainly you can use the all red 3pc provi, grupo, fox pray and ceska

or use a coyote

[idle island]

I guess I'm asking more holistically, as in for the whole group, not just myself 🙂

[ivory sundial]

well you need a tank and healer on IH

[idle island]

I found the #td2-raid-discussions channel and am scrolling back through that to see what's posted in there, too

[calm quest]

Are all gear sets and brand available for lvl 30 players with WONY? I bought account shared blueprints and even tho I have both grupo and česka blueprints in lvl 40 I don't have them on lvl 30.

[grand nebula]

those are level 40 exclusive afaik

[calm quest]

do you have anything that confirms that because I can't find anything

[inner tendon]

That certain brandsets are locked to WONY?

[calm quest]

Well I can still craft empress so I don't see even if they are released with WONY why I couldn't craft it

[tulip fiber]

You may not be able to get the blueprints, because I got those during the season reward track. The pieces may be available though.

No idea where the idea that all brandsets are available to ppl who don't own WONY came from,
but it is 100% not the case. If I didn't have WONY, I wouldn't be able to use a bunch of those, many Exotics, gearsets, etc, etc.

That's the idea of buying WONY. It's the 2nd half of div2 really.

[calm quest]

I have Wony

[ivory sundial]

have you completed it?

[calm quest]

yes

[inner tendon]

Well there you go then.
you have access to all the brandsets+gearsets.

[calm quest]

like I said few posts higher I have 3 lvl 40 characters and am at 3500shd

and yet I have shared blueprints and I'm missing both česka and grupo

[inner tendon]

Not every piece has a blueprint to be able to craft with.

[calm quest]

I just checked on my lvl 40 character I have the blueprints and they are not on lvl 30 character

[inner tendon]

Well now you know.

can i just ask, why the weirdly high SHD level? Is it just boredom or was it a "method"?

[calm quest]

I have nothing else to do in the game

[grand nebula]

This has been talked about before, some blueprints transfer to 30s but others dont for whatever reason

and crafting is the only way to get them at that level

[calm quest]

damn that's lame

[inner tendon]

I mean, is there any reason to stay at Lvl 30?

[calm quest]

absolutely not

at least I can't see one

[inner tendon]

seems kinda low on the fixing priority.

[calm quest]

agreed but still lame regardless

I really love the feel of controller in this game, but the aiming leaves a lot to be desired. Either I'm too used to KB&M for aiming or I'm not giving myself enough time to get used to it. I'm not even really sure how aim assist is supposed to work. I mean, how the heck do you do head shots with a rifle?? Seems impossible. I can't hairpin target with a joystick. I'm on PC btw

Any controller players with some encouragement?

[versed pumice]

All about practice tho finding a comfortable sensitivity helps

After that just practice n get used too analog

[prime crest]

Does deadzone also control the maximum acceleration? Because pushing the joystick all the way is too fast. My understanding is that deadzone makes slight movements non-functional

also did you guys keep left stick down for sprint? Using joystick buttons for any primary function is terrible IMHO. But it's not like there's much room left in the layout

what deadzone settings did you use and why?

will i eventually get comfortable shooting moving targets with a rifle? I can't imagine it lol

[stoic niche]

I just got the game and was wondering if anyone could help if you would like to help my psn is the same as my discord

[dawn quest]

is there even a real way of countering a tank full shield Liberty oder Revolver user ?

[slow notch]

Hola, me and 2 other friends are trying to run a raid, but I've had no luck finding anyone. Anyone here no where the raid groups are? Everyone else either quits or has bad gear. Any help is appreciated. (Xbox one)

[inner tendon]

You're looking for #lfg-raid-xbox

[fallow inlet]

@dawn quest regulos pistol

[steep heart]

is there a skill that makes u faster

[ivory sundial]

Nope

[ivory sundial]

How do you get the resourceful trophy?

[inner tendon]

We're here to answer questions, be nice.

[marble shadow]

Rivens > google tbh

more direct, up to date responses, and pretty timely too!

[inner tendon]

😉
my software does sometimes glitch tho.

[narrow kraken]

so i have a lvl 35 item and i want it to be lvl 40, wasnt there something like that back in the day where u could upgrade it somehow ?

[inner tendon]

That only really works with Exotics, just consider all your <Lvl 40 gear to be scrap now.

[narrow kraken]

😦 damn

cause i need a golan gear ltd , yellow holster, have a green one lvl 35 : /

[inner tendon]

Every gear that's not high-end/Exotic/gearset and is below Lvl 40, is now trash.

[narrow kraken]

what do i do with lvl 30 exotics btw

[inner tendon]

Keep the Exo's so you can reconfigure/scrap, but you can nuke the rest of it for parts.

[narrow kraken]

k thx

[ivory sundial]

Where do you get the seeker juggle emote?

Explosive ones yea

But seriously where can you get it

[inner tendon]

If it's not available in the store, then you likely can't get it anymore.

[ivory sundial]

Rip

[inner tendon]

I don't remember it, so it's unlikely to be S.01.

[fallow inlet]

Or might be a premium emote

You gotta look for those

Afternoon rivens ,skull,ixl

Or it might have been a project reward

[ivory sundial]

Hello saph

[narrow kraken]

weird question so how do i upgrade a lvl 30 exotic to a lvl 40 ?

[autumn path]

you have to reroll it at the crafting table

[narrow kraken]

worked thx

the lvl 30 yellow named weapons i can throw into the trash right? just making sure again

[autumn path]

yes discard them

no rerolling those

[fallow inlet]

If you start a 2nd character you can sell it for that one

[winged timber]

Hey how am I able to get system corruption gear sets?

[willow gale]

Dz exclusive

[winged timber]

Hm , how would I farm this?

[willow gale]

Dz

[grand nebula]

Go into the dz and kill stuff and maybe youl win the lottery and it drops

[fallow inlet]

I want the apartment

Still can't get it

[willow gale]

Just get it then

[winged timber]

It was in a dz shop 3 weeks ago

[steep heart]

what is apartment?

[willow gale]

A living space

Typically smaller then most full homes

And in a large building

[nimble night]

What are the most useful Spec weapons atm?

Cuz I really don't see much use for them nowadays

[willow gale]

tac 50 is big boom, firewall thing is pretty, burn. Minigun is okay ig. Tech one is absolute shit. surv is good for DH razor back, and breaking enemy. demo one is big boom explosion.

[nimble night]

What's the difference between tac 50 and the other High-Damage Marksman rifles?

[willow gale]

it does more dmg

holy thing that gets to its lv is a fully stacked nemmy

so bassically a nemmy u dont have to stack

[nimble night]

So like
Tac 50 is for flat out damage
While the rest are for like their abiliites

[willow gale]

no

u dont pick a spec for the weapon

[nimble night]

IK but
compared to the rest of the marksman rifles it does a crapton of damage
but isn't supposed to be like your main dps

[true siren]

no

[willow gale]

god no, u just wipe that bitch out when u need big deeps

[nimble night]

I'm going for a DPS build and IDK if I should max out the armor or the WD on it

The WD is +13.9% and the Armor is +131,924

[true siren]

...thats two different armor pieces

[nimble night]

Actually that's the stats of my memento

[true siren]

you can do both

[nimble night]

hmm ight

[south moth]

Is the Dark Winter a DZ exclusive drop? Or can it drop through targeted loot?

[true siren]

dz exclusive, yes

[south moth]

Does the DZ need to be targeted for SMG or is there an other way to farm it in there?

[true siren]

i mean you can get it from named caches, but the DZ doesnt have to be targeted SMG, its just super rare if its not

[twin forum]

I got mine from the named caches i was buying with the event points

[rotund mauve]

Haven't played in months, when Season 3 recap starts?

[autumn path]

it already did

almost over

[willow gale]

[rotund mauve]

Did they skip Season 2?

When does it ends

[ivory sundial]

Yea they skipped 2

[willow gale]

[rotund mauve]

And I only realized it now

How many days do I have left to grind 100 levels?

[willow gale]

Week or so

U can get lv 100 in 2 days thou

?

auto correct can eat my fat nuts

[rotund mauve]

@willow gale I know, is the Convoy still the best way to do it?

[willow gale]

yessir

but doing them all day every day will be really boring

youll naturally just get there by playing the game

a week is more then long enough to get it

[thin mist]

What do you like about the game? Do you genuinely enjoy it? Pour your heart

I genuinely enjoy it. I enjoyed the story, the scenes, the progression, game play. Now i finished the plot, but I like linear games. Still, i like setting goals like getting builds so that's fun!

[prime crest]

what is the soft cap for CHC?

[autumn path]

60

or well, hard cap

[prime crest]

i have 58.3% CHC and 110.5% CHD. wondering if I should mod for chance or damage. I still have a little room for CHC

I run LMG primary

[autumn path]

I'd go damage at this rate

if you can, should go for about 150 CHD or so, after that if I recall right it start getting diminished returns

but 58 is good

unless you can optimize to get to 60, I would not waste a mod slot or attribute slot

[prime crest]

i only have like 3 gear mod slots total

[autumn path]

well since you went with LMG, I assume you use Contractors too

so you compensate for the lower CHD with other sources of damage

[prime crest]

https://i.imgur.com/u98NTo8.png

this is the overview of my build

yea using contractors

i don't have all my gear stats maxed, I guess I need to aim for that

[autumn path]

ah you have Coyote

[prime crest]

CHC is the 3rd one

[autumn path]

if I recall the mid range talent right you might even be a bit over the cap with ChC

I'd get Damage to Armor

[prime crest]

I don't have the most dPS but I love the fast reloads and constant shooting

I think stripping armor would be fun

right now I don't strip armor for crap

[autumn path]

imo

account for the mid range talent on Coyote, it should boost your CHC quite a lot

[prime crest]

my rifle hitting under 3m but my LMG doesn't feel super powerful in legendary

[autumn path]

then complete with CHD and DTA

hmm

tbh, I prefer the harder hitting LMGs myself

RPK or M60

they would git much harder but less burst

[prime crest]

so the issue with coyote mask is I don't have a good feel for how far away I normally am

also how long does the CHC buff last?

Yeah like it says last enemy hit. So does it give me a 10m buff or something?

does it go away if I shoot someone closer?

ok so its based on every single hit

so I should always aim for the furthest enemy

[autumn path]

you could also try to find a Ceska mask too

see how it works out for ya

[prime crest]

ok let me google that one, I quit for a long time so I don't know some of these

[autumn path]

less hassle with the ranges, but less of a bonus if you use coyote to its fullest potential all the time

Ceska is a brand, first bonus is 10% CHC

you effectively get a static bonus instead of a range based one, easier to work around as I said

[prime crest]

ranges are fine since I play it safe anyway, I don't run into shit I like to cover & fire from afar

I can't do that if I'm in a group that moves fast though, so usually I will shoot without getting into cover since that slows me down

it sounds like I need to be, to decide between the two masks? I'm not sure how you choose otherwise

[autumn path]

Coyote is best if you can make it work as I said, just that there's situation where the group doesn't fit in well

you could try both in time, see what works out for ya

[prime crest]

ok now i'm 49 / 133.4

[autumn path]

should be 59 with buff then

[prime crest]

perfect

https://i.imgur.com/F1NYKKM.png

Yeah, for LMG damage

[autumn path]

ah

mistake, but it happens

[prime crest]

it's been tough to find another one that's got better stats

[autumn path]

you can optimize gear now

so ideally, look and recalibrate for the stat combo, rather than to max

[prime crest]

is that exotic?

[autumn path]

yes

[prime crest]

ok so I'd have to give up Coyote

I thought you can only use 1 exotic

oh shit i didn't know that

[autumn path]

I get the limitation for gear, but now that passive talents are gone I wonder why we are limited to 1 exo weapon

[prime crest]

https://i.imgur.com/OvpWXD7.png

lol i already had it

[autumn path]

shitty tbh

I wanted to run a EB and Rav combo

it was funny how many new ppl I saw in DZ when it was exclusive to that

[prime crest]

so it's 200 RPM less than the Infantry MG5 oof

gonna be slow af

and no reload speed bonus from fast hands 😦

[autumn path]

yeah but you basically have a "AOE" gun

[prime crest]

braced isn't reload speed? What do you mean

it is

[autumn path]

the stat it boosts includes reloading

it's like skill efficiency, it's an "umbrella" stat so to speak

boosts more than one thing

[prime crest]

how significantly does it boost reload speed?

[autumn path]

I think it was 1:1

but not entirely sure

[prime crest]

Tell you what I'll just try this. But I remember trying it like a year ago. But I don't remember why I didn't stick with it. If it's slower but DPS is significantly better I'd keep it

[grand nebula]

Weapon handling wasnt 1:1 at the start of wony

So if you tried it before, 40% was 10% reload

Yes

[prime crest]

so they buffed it to 1:1?

oh damn that's nice

I appreciate all the advice folks, I'll give this a shot and see how it goes. Yeah I'll need to swap out my CHD mods for CHC to bring it back up to 50% or so

But no biggy

[autumn path]

it's not a big loss though

since you get damage back through Damage To Armor

it's actually better damage-wise to spec into both criticals and raw armor damage and such

I forgot the exact math, but I think at like 150 CHD onwards you get diminishing returns was it

but again should verify with someone who knows for sure

[grand nebula]

You want as close to 60 as possible

You get diminishing returns on chd after 2% lol

[autumn path]

well, I mean significant ones

[grand nebula]

Me too

I mean from 2 to 3% chd you only get 50% more chd, thats pretty significant

[autumn path]

well, how to explain myself better

if you want pure damage, you cannot get Damage to armor and Damage to out of cover everywhere

but if you can get em, it's worth sacrific a bit of em for DTOC and DTA

[grand nebula]

Yes, the reason is multiplicative stats

[autumn path]

with a good CHD base, you get some DTOC and DTA and it can really boost the damage

no I mean, Fox is one of the only sources of DTOC, which is what makes it so good

[grand nebula]

No, dta and dtooc are additive to themselves and multiplicative to each other

Tho dta is considerably situational but point does stand

The higher your chd the more chd you need to match 8% dta/dtooc

[autumn path]

my LMG build has lower CHD than my AR build but hits better with similar damage weapons

[grand nebula]

No, it wouldnt fix anything

Youd need a loooot of dtooc to make fox lose power
