[south bloom]

and rikers iirc

[narrow matrix]

Cleaners are clean

[south bloom]

i went to the DZ earlier and it actually felt good believe it or not

i was just a loner just vibing and saw these guys fighting

so i turn rogue and kill all 3 of them

with the Eagle

[narrow matrix]

How do you get the stinger?

From what I understand:

From what I understand

The player needs to be under 2 hours to be considered a recruit

The player needs to accept your invite within 7 days of first login

You need to do 3 main missions or strongholds with them

• do you need to do the 3 main missions before they reach 2 hours played? Or do you just need to link them to your account before they reach 2 hours. I've done everything else but its not worked.

[south bloom]

i got it when i beat the dlc

[grave iron]

Need help from staff member

[vestal fulcrum]

Best farming method for coyotes?

[tulip fiber]

Target loot masks

[grand nebula]

3 missions after account is linked

you can follow the progress in the website

i had to submit a ticket to get my rewards

[narrow matrix]

I see, cause I did it last night and it doesn't work so I hope it doesn't have anything to do with the time spent

When I go to the website it shows me progress for an outfit

Which is 0

[grand nebula]

write a ticket

[narrow gate]

Are there any good or better methods of farming max Gear System Mods? I've gotten pretty lucky the last few days with CP4s and Heroic/Legendary Summit, but can't ever find the ones I need. 😦

[blissful geyser]

mods are harder yes, summit would be better than CP4s

[vestal fulcrum]

If you were to pulse an enemy and at the same time use a shield, would you get the full in sync bonus?

[hallow raptor]

full in sync bonus requires one part skill and one part gun, not two parts skill.

[vestal fulcrum]

Oh I see, thanks

[undone beacon]

In Sync still works well with the Shield, but you have to redeploy it ever 5 seconds for maximum uptime

In the context of sniping, HH is best.

Outside of sniping, no idea tbh. People don't really use Focus now that HH is a thing.

Sniping is all about hard hits. Pop 2-3 reds for HH, then go ham on the Chungas.

For non-sniper builds GC is probably better than Focus if you can deal with the extra incoming damage.

I'd be interested to see the Math behind that. First I'm ever hearing this.

Because you made the claim, not me lol

If you say so

Amplified damage is multiplicative though, yeah?

And Focus requires zoomed-in Scopes for efficacy

And what, 10 seconds to ramp up?

In all the months I've been here I've never once heard of someone using Focus over GC for a non-sniper DPS build. This is news to me.

Yeah nevermind mate, you are needlessly rude.

[grand nebula]

Its for shield glitch, rarely out of fun

No, it only requires a shield and a wall

And he shoots you and you cant shoot him

For brands you want highest weapon damage possible

Arialdi, walker

I prefer 4 aces to stack fast

[undone beacon]

It doesn't give the group damage anymore, just you

[grand nebula]

Nope, only changed when wony launched

[undone beacon]

It's still good, just not in the way people used to use it with the high RPM snipers

Which I am sad I missed because that looks like it was fun

[grand nebula]

Ah yea it was changed

Forgot about that

[narrow matrix]

Where can I find elite scorcher enemies

Only place I can think of is roosevelt Island or dcd

[grand nebula]

Most outcast missions have a couple

[narrow matrix]

Could I find at least 4 per mission with challenging difficulty?

[grand nebula]

Probably

Or do control points

[hallow raptor]

yup, Roosevelt island burn pit. kill scorchers let minion kill you, rinse and repeat. challenging or less will put back at the front of the burn pit.

[pliant vigil]

Guys, how do i reach Overcharge? I've got my skills upto Level 6 and it's awesome but what am I missing to get that extra power?

[grand nebula]

Overcharge isnt a permanent state

Its a buff given by certain talents

[pliant vigil]

And also, I wish they would explain this in game or at least show me where I can read about all of this again.. Tutorials got nothing informative.

[pliant vigil]

Oh.

Damn.. So I gotta keep a look out.

[grand nebula]

You dont really overcharge for most builds

[pliant vigil]

I guess, I just wanted to see what the extra difference feels like.

[nimble spruce]

Future perfect weapon talent can give overcharge, also exotics like Acosta's Go Bag and BTSU gloves.

[narrow kraken]

Anyone tryna help speed lvl a character of mine? I’ve switched from ps4 to Xbox and tryna lvl up a character rn

[narrow matrix]

You should probably put on the Xbox role so Xbox players recognize you play on xbox

[placid spire]

Which would you say is the better option for shd leveling considering I could do both in equal time, convoy challenging with 3 directives or heroic no directives?

[grand nebula]

Challenging

[hallow raptor]

convoy challenging with 5 directives. 4 piece rigger with waveform and wyvern chest with KM and Gunner spec. Rigger makes scavenged skill no issue, gunner makes pistolero and fragile armor no issue. build is for XP farming only. drone & turret. I've done 18 levels in an hour but I have solid state drive on PS4.

[analog sail]

There are better ways to get xp then what he suggested.
I'm his way you are:
First off. Using a intended bug that allows you to get double Xp. As resource convoys are ment to give you 300k - 400k ish xp, this is not a major exploit but its not intended by devs.
Second you are reliant on them spawning. It can spawn every min or every 10 min.
Third and most important.
You need a SSD to make this even a thing. If you are using internal ps4 HDD your load time will make it so you'll miss more then 40% of convoys.
If your running a external HDD then your just playing loading simulator.
There are better more efficient methods of getting xp.
I've managed to get it down to 3 min for 900k ish xp and I have the possibility to get exotics. And set targeted loot. I have no load time and it's consistent. Same npc pattern every time. Unlike @hallow raptor i won't exagerate with numbers.
It can take you 3-5 min per room depending on how good you are.
I don't play as much as I'd like to
But in 4 days I've gone on this account from 144 to 500+
Got more exotics then I need, not to mention the amount of godrolls mods and gear.

[true siren]

he's not on ps4

[analog sail]

HDD and SSD are still a thing on pc

[true siren]

okay, but load times on pc are much better. I've got div2 on a hdd and i load in in like 20 seconds at the long end

Not to mention the summit way is boring as hell

also note joker wasnt asking what the best was, just what was better of the 2

[analog sail]

That is a difference of perspective. I enjoy the boring predictable npc patterns.
Last week I was only a few mill of reaching nr 1. I had to settle for nr 3...

[true siren]

ok

[analog sail]

Oh. Then yah. What eph said lol.

[pliant vigil]

Thanks. 🤙🏻

[narrow matrix]

Anytime

You gotta first get the mission to go to the theater settlement and unlock the grand Washington hotel to play co op

[hallow raptor]

Also requires ps plus

[south bloom]

how can i farm loads of SHD calibration easily

cuz i have tons of field recon

but like no SHD calibration

wdym

like just spam watch lvls ?

my main character is shd like 211

so that wont work

alr

i wanna change the gender of my character but sadly can’t

i don’t have the blueprint either

also i was told its a bit of a waste to craft them

which i’ll believe cuz alot of things cost alot

the blueprint is my issue

i spammed lvl 4 CPS

and it didn’t drop

alr

[hallow raptor]

You can get 40 from watch points by leveling another character. Use the points for shd calibration, delete character, rinse and repeat. Just do it on the side every now and then.

[south bloom]

ah okay

bur mainly just get my main character up

[hallow raptor]

It costs 500 of each, electronics, carbon fiber, titanium for 5 shd calibration points. 15 shd calibration points clears your inventory on these resources. These are also the resources that drop at the lowest quantity when farming, like 3 to 5 each resource crate. If you could get 5 per crate, it would take 300 of each of the 3 different crates (900) just to replenish your inventory. Definitely not worth it imo.

[south bloom]

oh

[hallow raptor]

You can get one per shd watch level.

[south bloom]

thx for explaining that

[south bloom]

yea

[covert marsh]

it's playstyle-specific; what kinds of guns did you use previously and/or what types of guns or builds are you looking to do

[quaint wharf]

can you get the Nemisis from summit with targeted loot set to sniper? Or can you get the Nemisis from target farming in general (free roam & missions)

[hallow raptor]

not without first getting the blueprint from the quest. but if you run with someone who already has it, it might (rng) drop for them and they could share it.

[marble knot]

survivalist is good for dealing with armor?

[grand nebula]

Yea, xbow 1taps armor plates

[tiny granite]

Weird... never noticed until now but

A single Black Tusk Medic always spawns at the end of Legendary Roosevelt Island

[narrow matrix]

Will I be able to switch specializations in NY

[noble ocean]

Yes

[narrow matrix]

I started warlords, why is everyone mad at you 😅

[rugged urchin]

guys please does the gift drop from the summit? i farmed 100 named global caches and didnt get it

[grand nebula]

It doesnt, you can check the sheet to see what named items are dz only

[rugged urchin]

oh wow thanks

[grand nebula]

Pinned in #td2-build-advice

[south perch]

Hi, how do I get the ironworks base materials?

[plain obsidian]

raids i believe

[tulip fiber]

Iron Horse raid, normal difficulty

[burnt knoll]

Yes, but you can't farm them until you complete the dlc story

[modest hornet]

Hi how do I join a raid for dark zone I need eagle bearer and have no friends

[grand nebula]

Dark zone isnt a raid fella

[modest hornet]

Aww well I need 2 do that one were I join with 8 ppl how do I do that...I haven't a clue

I'm lv40 got most the exotics just don't know how to find ppl already playing

[inner tendon]

For raids hop on down to #lfg-raid-xbox
For pvp try #lfg-end-game-xbox

[modest hornet]

Thanks ill give that a go 🤣

[topaz rover]

what is the season pass project

and what does it give

[grand nebula]

Xp

[covert marsh]

it's basically a boost so you can get through the season pass rewards more quickly

[vale sleet]

What’s the best way to earn xp?, heroic 4d control points?

[covert marsh]

tbh, randomly matchmaking for missions is a fairly easy way to accumulate XP

[vale sleet]

Just want to burn through the season rewards

[hallow raptor]

couple different ways. 1. summit floor 10 on heroic or legendary with all directives, kill all enemies (don't go through the door at the end) then grenade yourself, rinse and repeat. 2. global difficulty on challenging with as many directives as you can handle, fast travel around map killing resource convoys and territory controls.

[covert marsh]

in terms of efficiency of gaining XP, it's probably faster to churn through missions with multiple people as opposed to doing something that gives more XP per unit but is a slog

[south bloom]

i’d say the summit is the better one tbh

cuz u can just reset

challenging with directives works

but not as efficient in my opinion

[soft fjord]

What was Thieves Den vendor selling before it was removed from the game?

[tranquil nexus]

before i go spending all my stars from the event, the best use is named caches right? like I was considering exotic cache but its like 10 named or 4 exotics

there is still a lot of exotics I dont own but I'm slowly getting them

[tranquil nexus]

they were all trash rolls, ah well

[soft fjord]

Is the chance of getting DZ exclusive high?

Or it's low so you have to farm like a hundred to get few

[inner tendon]

I like to see it as "it's faster than running the DZ to farm it out".

[covert marsh]

named caches are basically how i collected all of the DZ exclusives (outside of, like, The Virginian)

the only DZ exclusive item that i have a bad roll on is The Gift, but i'm not actively using it in any builds, so i'm content with just rolling named caches/checking DZ vendors

[south bloom]

if u want named items go for legacy ones

[grand nebula]

Legacy caches dont contain all the named items...

[south bloom]

o yea lol

i did it for when i was trying to farm harmony sadly didn’t get it

[grand nebula]

Harmony is in the legacy caches...

[south bloom]

ik

im saying i spammed the legacy caches and it didn’t drop

instead i got a test subject

[rocky rock]

just bought the expansion. any tips?

or advice?

[grand nebula]

Theres a guide pinned here when you get to max level

[rocky rock]

good

thanks

[hallow grove]

I would buy optimization caches . Especially if your lower level shd

[blissful geyser]

true, I suggest spending on named or exotics instead

[zinc pike]

Depends on what you need

[south bloom]

what’s the best method for farming Lady Death

[grand nebula]

Targeted loot

[round pine]

What gear set should I be farming for a skill build?

[grand nebula]

None

[grand basin]

started a raid group and one of the players is unable to join any reason why

[grand nebula]

Need more info

[grand basin]

its been sorted

whats the water pressure

i mean as like the target water pressure

[grand nebula]

Probably should have seen that before the raid

[grand basin]

havent done control room in a while

[scenic mauve]

Death grips any good got a god rolled one from named cache

[hallow raptor]

good for armor on kill, if your into that kind of thing...

[plain obsidian]

you can make a 40% high end armor on kill build with that item

[narrow kraken]

What pool of named items do the Invaded mission rewards draw from? Are they LZ only or can DZ exclusives also get rewarded?

[covert marsh]

should still be LZ only, as the missions take place in the LZ

[hallow raptor]

if it's DZ exclusive, it's not gonna drop from an invaded mission.

[rocky rock]

does anyone know if i can update my chatterbox smg to lvl 40? rn its lvl 30

[narrow matrix]

What is judges key for

[narrow matrix]

But the blueprint from inaya to reconfigure it then go to the crafting table

You’ll need an exotic component

[rocky rock]

i am

but idk how to do it

its saying something abput my score

[hallow raptor]

are you level 40?

[rocky rock]

yess

[hallow raptor]

the crafting table will tell you what you need if you have the correct blueprint.

[grand nebula]

Its all lz items

[glass roost]

i played a stupid amount of the division 1, and didnt get division 2 on release because i knew it would fail due to the new DZ they did and the game overall in the beta. Im wondering if this game has actually gotten any better or is set to get better?

[gray flint]

i used to play the div 1 alot and im on div 2 all the time, what do you mean about the dz exactly? @glass roost

[glass roost]

they made it more PVE than PVP unlike the first division, going rogue was stupid in the beta

there was a lot less people as well

the game PVE and DZ was release unfinished and still wondering if it is

there use to be no good end game

[gray flint]

i dont go in dz much but ive found that when i went in there was a fair mix of pve and pvp tbf

[glass roost]

well if it hasnt changed much from release then the game is no where near to where it was in TD1

[grand nebula]

D2 dz is way more pvp than it was in div1

In fact thats the reason no one fucking likes it

[glass roost]

TD1 DZ loot made a lot of people PVP

[grand nebula]

Every dz session is a bunch of cheesy builds bursting each other in 1 second

No, div1 loot sent people to the dz where some would pvp but there was a lot of high end pve to do there

Div2 dz has none of the pve fun or challenge

Super small and you cant run or avoid pvp

[gray flint]

ur not wrong the maps do seem pretty small

[glass roost]

hmm doesnt sound good, i remember how big TD1 dz was

[gray flint]

i usually like to use snipers and all 3 r quite hard to snipe on

[glass roost]

i think im just going to carry on avoiding TD2 for now but thanks for the information

[gray flint]

still a fun game tho id recommend if you like the first game

[grand nebula]

Like id run around div1 dz for ages and you could avoid pvp and have cool areas for pve and ways to run

Div2 is just farm very fast and hope you extract before they get to you

Its a great pve game

But for pvp id rather play fortnite

[gray flint]

lmao harsh ahahah

[glass roost]

how could they size down the DZ though, who thought that would be a good idea

[grand nebula]

Its because theres 3 of them

But it didn't work out as well as they planned

[glass roost]

they should bring back the survival snow map and honestly make the game a lot more like D1. I did hear that a lot of the devs moved on and its now a team that dont know a whole amount about the game

[south bloom]

can it be anywhere?

[grand nebula]

Indeed

[south bloom]

would say like targeted loot smgs in the summit work for example

or the DZ?

[grand nebula]

Honestly i can no longer hear of this snow stuff

[south bloom]

wdym

[grand nebula]

The game stands no chance if its constantly living under the 1st games shadow

[south bloom]

did i say something wrong?

[grand nebula]

Needs to do its own thing

[south bloom]

o

[grand nebula]

Im not answering you jay

[south bloom]

alr man

[grand nebula]

And any smg loot works yes

[south bloom]

alr

[glass roost]

no too many shit players complained about the wrong things in D1 and they tried implementing that into D2

[grand nebula]

Like division 1 exists and its own game with its stuff
I love the division 2 world a lot and id rather it makes its own risks and game modes, even tho at this point its clearly not happening

But the game is great in a lot of ways and I prefer it in nearly all aspects to div1

[glass roost]

i just dont think i will be able to play the game without being annoyed with how they change and did things tbh lmao

[grand nebula]

Honeslty build variety and gearing is much better

[glass roost]

but like i said im going off my experience with the beta a long time ago

[grand nebula]

And i find overall gameplay way more varied

Its a completely different game from beta

Pick it up on one of those crazy 5$ sales

[glass roost]

do u think i will have fun with end game and PVP

because for me it isnt only about the main part of the game

[grand nebula]

Idk man, youl have to get an answer from someone else
Ive never enjoyed any of the division's pvp nor do i do them for fun

All my pvp experiences have come from necessity to get gear

[glass roost]

the division 1 was a time when there wasnt much of a 'meta build' and things like that and i have a feeling that is how its played now

[grand nebula]

Classified sets were a curse

But div2 pvp is just a rock paper scissors game

[shrewd orbit]

Rock, paper, foam, headshot tbf.

[glass roost]

@grand nebula which edition would u recommend?

im guessing the warlords of new york edition for the end game content

[grand nebula]

Yea get the cheapest one that includes warlords

[deep snow]

Should I purchase the underground dlc

[grand nebula]

Wrong game chat

[narrow matrix]

What is judges key for in warlords

I found it after killing judge in pursuit of Theo Parnell

[grand nebula]

Opens a loot room I think

[narrow matrix]

Thanks, is there a reason I’m collecting shd tech caches btw? After beating the capitol building in campaign you have 6 left over and you pick up a couple more that leaves you with 12 which you don’t use

I’ve since picked up 4 more, will I get new upgrades in perks ?

Whaaaaaa I have to refill the recalibration library 😭

Bro I thought this would have been useful to me I spent time filling it up before warlords

That’s just fucked up

[grand nebula]

Lol

You have boxes to open in each zone

For 5 shd

[narrow matrix]

So, curious question can your level 30 character no longer access your level 40 characters recalibration library

[grand nebula]

You can acess it but its useless now

[narrow matrix]

I did it on purpose when replaying the campaign on a non boosted character cause the 1% attributes were shit

Well I guess I owe you an I told you so @grand nebula… all your level 30 gear becomes useless, I mean erased from existence 🤣😬

[grand nebula]

But they can never take the memories from you spades

And thats all that matters

[narrow matrix]

All I have to say is these rikers have nothing on outcasts

[hallow raptor]

for projects in NYC maybe?

[grand nebula]

Shd tech is used to unlock the safehouse caches

Youl use them all up

[hallow raptor]

that's it, new it was something... lol

[narrow matrix]

Will having another character double my resource slots

Meaning I can carry 500 food instead of 250

[hallow raptor]

250 is max on food, etc.

[grand nebula]

You can stack 250 on the second character and then buy the inventory sharing item which will temporarily allow you to have 500 food

But it will go down to 250 as you use it

[hallow raptor]

that work for ceramics and such as well. did not relize it worked with food, etc.

[narrow matrix]

I see

Doesn’t sound too bad

[grand nebula]

Should work for all resources

It might not work with food and etc if theyre not shared

I dont really do stuff with that on my alts so i cant remember

If food is char specific then it won't work

[hallow raptor]

i hardly ever touch food, etc. tbh. only if someone wants my SHD exotic cache..

[grand nebula]

Yea same

[south bloom]

how many stages does the first regulus project have

[narrow matrix]

Is there a way to minimize the cutting out of comms

It kind of breaks the game when all of a sudden your audio goes out

[tulip fiber]

There’s technically 5 projects. First two are to donate the raid green gear and materials, both future and foundry. Once done, two high end projects are needed to be completed. Then after those, you’ll get the actual regulus project. Just run IH on normal, each boss will drop a piece, collect the keys throughout, the last piece comes from the box. Then you can craft it.

[south bloom]

gotcha

for now imma just do the projects till they disappear

says i need badger tuff gloves and a fenris holster

[south bloom]

what do u gain for resetting the manhunt and killing faye lau a second time

[grand nebula]

A sense of pride and achievement

[south bloom]

lol

says for “greater rewards”

[tulip fiber]

Lies. Deception.

[south bloom]

lol

[south bloom]

hey i wanted to ask

what bosses drop the pieces for the regulus

i read it drops each piece from a boss and i got nothing

[timid jay]

Hi, what are the must have attachments for any AR build please?

[south bloom]

attachments are pretty self explanatory but typically u want ones that have crit chance and crit damage

[timid jay]

Are some of these locked to tier 3 control points?

[hallow raptor]

Need to be a fresh IH run, parts will drop tomorrow if your at that point

[south bloom]

ah it needs to be a fresh one gotcha

so i have to do it tmr?

[hallow raptor]

Yes

[hallow raptor]

If you want the regulus parts. Or at least sometime after tomorrows reset

[south bloom]

alr gotcha

[bright heath]

where can hunters spawn other than encounters?

[narrow kraken]

The Summit? Unless you're looking for those puzzles to spawn them in the open world

[foggy needle]

everywhere, they are just RNG.

er wait, thought you meant rogue agents... nm

Hunters are only in FL 100 summit and those hunter puzzles.

[dry pond]

Are effects from secondary weapon and sidearm always in effect or only when using the weapon?

[narrow kraken]

Only when using the weapon, save for Finisher on pistols, which requires you to use something else to enjoy its buffs

[tranquil nexus]

does the stacks of capacitor stay up even when u swap weapons? say for example you try to juggle capacitor and in sync ?

[grand nebula]

No

[tranquil nexus]

then what is a good secondary weapon with capacitor in a skill build

ive just been using an m870 incase i get rushed

[south bloom]

can u make a stronghold invaded?

[tranquil nexus]

yes

[south bloom]

how

what do i do

[tranquil nexus]

go to difficulty and hold G

[south bloom]

well im on console so

[grand nebula]

Only if its invaded in the first place

[south bloom]

o

[grand nebula]

Scorpio, anything with insync

The mop, etc

[south bloom]

cuz i need roosevelt island invaded

so i can get the nemisis piece

[grand nebula]

Pray its invaded next reset

[south bloom]

alr

probably wont tho tbh

[grand nebula]

You never know

[south bloom]

true

[south bloom]

for some reason the 2 bosses on Iron Horse didn’t drop the components yet the other 2 did

anyone ever have that issue?

and im talking about the Regulus

[hallow raptor]

Well, reset is tonight so I’m not sure why you got any parts. Tomorrow will be fresh with keys and regulus parts..

[south bloom]

idk myself

guess it was rng based

[south bloom]

and alr ill run it soon..

today i ran IH and got 3 pieces somehow

even tho it wasn’t fresh

[hallow raptor]

Doesn’t really matter since you still need parts.

[south bloom]

yea

how do u get that holster btw

if u know

[hallow raptor]

YouTube

[south bloom]

lol ok

ohh

its the project u buy

from inaya

[hallow raptor]

A few different projects, easier to just look it up on YouTube

[south bloom]

i was wondering what it was for

alr gotcha

[hallow raptor]

Dodge City Holster

[bright brook]

are the foundry bulwark iron horse pieces only achievable in normal mode? i've beaten the raid on discovery and did not see any new projects so im assuming thats a yes.

dont have enough people to run the raids or enough knowledge to go through them yet anyway

[south bloom]

yes

u can’t do discovery for pieces

discovery is rlly just learning how to do the raid

[south bloom]

that’s okay you’ll get there

[bright brook]

thats what i figured, unfortunate theres no matchmaking through normal. thank you though!

[south bloom]

yw!

[thin atlas]

is it me or I'm the only one who have always it's CPU to 100%?

[blissful geyser]

tone down your graphics, I was able to get it to 45%

[dire parcel]

What means "rv" "fresh" in raid's lfg channel?

[grand nebula]

Raid voice
Fresh means from the first boss

[dry pond]

If I start a raid on story mode and find agents. And after that change the difficulty to normal. Is that possible?

[nimble spruce]

I believe so, but there's a fairly high risk that your group won't be stong/experienced enough to complete the Normal raid

[grand nebula]

Dont think you can tbh

[dry pond]

Well I'll try and if it is possible I'll ask em if they wanna do normal. Thanks both for reply.

[nimble spruce]

good luck

[grand nebula]

Youl need it

[analog sail]

Anyone mind helping me make a div 2 comic book?

[real kernel]

what are the stars on the commendations reawds?

[tulip fiber]

Stars are what you get when completing challenges and leveling up during the global events. Use them to purchase caches at the GE vendor outside the White House or at Haven

[narrow kraken]

How can I get loot I need for a decent build?. What I have is not enough for high end activities, and I want stuff that I can make something decent of

[sullen tusk]

turn directives on, play heroic in groups, and ask others to drop the stuff they don't need. If you know what you need, obviously use targeted loot areas / missions / summit

[narrow kraken]

I really dont have anyone to play with

Summit in challenging is good enough?

[sullen tusk]

the lower the level, the less the directives, the worse the loot

use the matchmaking or call for help

[rocky rock]

anyone here knows the max dmg lvl of the chatterbox smg? or where can i look for it

[narrow matrix]

probably the spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice

[narrow matrix]

How do you get optimization parts

[hallow raptor]

go to your resources and highlight a part, it will tell you where / how to get them.

[south bloom]

how much do u rlly benefit from the 10% armor from the watch

was looking at a striker’s build where the guy had 900k armor with 1 core

[inner tendon]

the SHD watch bonuses are all nice to have, but none will ruin your build without them.
think of them as good ways to refine your stats.

[calm creek]

Iquestion, as a level 30 I see people running the Scorpio or ridgeways pride and I’m always telling myself “that’s for level 40’s not level 30’s” and it ruins the dark zone kinda but other than that it’s idk

[inner tendon]

Well, you do need to own WONY to obtain either of those, since Ridgeways is locked to Summit.
but really, it's PvP, use whatever works best for you. The game is fairly well balanced, there's a counter for everything.

[sullen sable]

This is a dumb question but for the day one challenges what’s the easiest way to inflict corrosive damage on re-animated enemies?

[calm creek]

They also have the level 40 benefits like the higher dmg boost in pvp

[inner tendon]

and the bigger benefit of not having to upgrade/refarm them later on.

[calm creek]

It’s not possible to counter

[narrow matrix]

Appreciate it

[nimble spruce]

The cloud caused by headshotting an enemy does corrosive damage, so kill a group normally (no headshots) then when they start getting back up headshot one to damage the others.

[narrow matrix]

How do I get the additional shd tech caches for civic center, financial district and two bridges

They don’t appear on my map

[heavy briar]

i got a question

i have killed all hunters of year 1 and got all ivory keys but at cassie there is just the shield splinterer and not the hunter-killer chestpiece

i accidently deconstructed the one i got from the cache

[grand nebula]

Hunter killer is from the NYC hunters, not the original DC ones

Whats the question tho

[heavy briar]

so wait do you get it from the cache with the ivory keys?

because i just killed the hunters where the masks are in the white house

[grand nebula]

Ivory keys are shield splinterer

Off white keys is hunter killer

Off white box is at nyc

[narrow matrix]

Does perfect vindictive transfer to other weapons if you swap

[grand nebula]

Yes

[narrow matrix]

Nice, thank you!

Does the cluster grenade apply a status effect

[grand nebula]

Nope

[hallow raptor]

Look for question marks with a dashed circle around them and walk near this area.

[haughty stream]

Anyone have any ideas/methods on how to get liberty? Is it a random drop? I want it to make a support tank.

[narrow kraken]

https://www.pcgamer.com/how-to-get-the-liberty-exotic-pistol-in-the-division-2/ If you don't have one, ever, you will have to do the quest here

[haughty stream]

Oh that's the one with the wuest?

I thought that was reg-whatever it's callrd

[narrow kraken]

Once you have your first Liberty, it then gets added to the loot/cache reward pool

Regulus also has a raid centric quest, yes

Chatterbox, Liberty and Nemesis are the three original quest exotics

[haughty stream]

@narrow kraken I'm close actually lol.

Only missing the drops from Air and Space & American History.

[real kernel]

Anyone here has completed the 8 hunters mask?

[hallow raptor]

8? there are 12 in DC and 13 in NYC

[real kernel]

Youy know about the lion statues that rotate right?

[hallow raptor]

yes, done them all.

[real kernel]

mine's glitched

i cant interact with the 4 statue

[grand nebula]

You fast traveled to a dz checkpoint and lost the eyes

Restart game and do it all over

[real kernel]

i didnt bro, only fast traveled to safe houses and missions checkpoint's no dz

[grand nebula]

You somehow lost the first set of eyes one way or another

Its super common

[real kernel]

can i check i

on the inventory how many eyes i have?

[wild fjord]

Does anyone know if there is a way to farm Lady Death ?

[south bloom]

is the weapon damage scaled differently in a raid vs open world, missons, etc

[south bloom]

i still need that

[wild fjord]

yeah man just want a good sub to shoot with

[fair fox]

Hy guys what's the most efficient way to level up a specialization i left early warlord of New York and just came back and struggling to level gunner

[nimble spruce]

for Lady Death, just farm SMG targeted loot areas (same as with most exotics)

to gain specialization points, gain levels, do daily & weekly projects, weekly invasion, and some bounties (check the rewards description to see if they count or not)

[fair fox]

thanks

[real kernel]

meh cant do it, he deals tons of damage for no reason

[midnight dove]

Hi guys, i'm pretty new to the game, i've just reached 500 GS more or less

i've achieved WT 5 and i'd like to obtain Nemesis MMR

i got the first part from tidal stronghold but i can't make it to drop other ones

is it bad luck or am i doing something wrong?

[hallow raptor]

the other parts drop from invaded strongholds., this week is Roosevelt

[midnight dove]

shall it drop all of them? or just one per week?

[hallow raptor]

one per stronghold (Roosevelt, District, Capitol, Manning) 3 in total, blueprint drops from invaded grand Washington.

[midnight dove]

so how does it link with this? should i keep trying to clear stronholds right now? didn't get the point

[hallow raptor]

parts will only drop if stronghold is invaded, can take up to 6 weeks to get them all including the blueprint. this week you can get one more part from Roosevelt.

[midnight dove]

ok so to make it clear, should i wait till weekly resets and clear invaded ones?

[hallow raptor]

Reset Roosevelt to invaded (hold square to toggle mission mode) to get one more part this week before reset.

[midnight dove]

i'm on pc, how do i reset to invaded?

[hallow raptor]

just go to the screen were you selecet difficulty and read your options.

[midnight dove]

oh ok

so is it just one invaded per week? didn't get how resets work, i've played for only 3 days

[hallow raptor]

Each week, 3 random missions and 1 stronghold will become invaded. 2 more resets will get you the other 2 parts, if grand wash is also invaded in there you could get the blueprint as well.

[midnight dove]

oh ok

[midnight dove]

is there a required difficulty?

or normal is just fine for the part?

[hallow raptor]

don't think there is a required difficulty, but I would do it on hard since its pretty easy anyway.

[grand nebula]

heroic invasions give named items on first completion

[narrow kraken]

hey so i cant find the pts for td2 anywhere in my ubisoft connect library

can someone help me?

is there a cheap heroic build I can do?

i really have shit luck when it comes to god rolls, and i want to be able to farm good stuff

[vale sleet]

Is it 90% or 98% for status immunity?

[hallow raptor]

What I have says - Bleed 93.8, Blind/Deaf 91.0, Burn 91.4, Disorient 93.8, Disrupt 95.8, Ensnare 93.8, Poison 89.2, Shock 86.0, Napalm 88.9

[vale sleet]

Yeah building for backfire, so it’s 93.8 for bleed correct?

[hallow raptor]

That's the info I have. Or you can reload using ninja bike kneepads and get no bleed..... lol

[narrow matrix]

Why am I not getting field proficiency caches no more

I receive season level up and watch level up, is that different?

[honest ivy]

hmm why do i still get golden bullets while reanimated is active?

[narrow matrix]

Okay. Thank you!

[south bloom]

how can i do the showdown at the noon saloon project

i tried and it didn’t spawn

[hallow raptor]

those boys are fickle.... just be there at "just" the right time and cross your fingers.....

[shy shell]

It’s all about getting to the right spot at the right time

Too early in the area and you will scare them away

[south bloom]

i was camping in a room just outside the area

went at 11:50 and by the time it was 12 no one was there

[south bloom]

aha

[shy shell]

You were probably too close

[south bloom]

where do u recommend camping at before going

cuz i watched a YT vid and it was in a bar

with an ECHO

[shy shell]

I typically stay at WH gate until 11:50 in game time

Then I start running to the bar

[south bloom]

alr

ill try doing that

[shy shell]

And stay away from the area before then

[south bloom]

i think it was cuz i triggered the area at 11:30

had hyenas

[shy shell]

You can get there slightly late but you can’t get there early

[south bloom]

so i ran back

ah i see

so it can be like 12:01?

[shy shell]

Yup

[south bloom]

alr

the clock is quick tho

[shy shell]

Yup it’s tough to get it down just right

[south bloom]

if u have time to tmr think u can help me do it

[shy shell]

I don’t know I have some raids scheduled and some other things I’ll see

[south bloom]

okie

[south bloom]

oh so ur a raid leader?

[shy shell]

I am not

[south bloom]

o

people raid so much its like they never stop

my friend little_huge has been raiding for 4 years

[shy shell]

I have only been playing for 3 months or so

I only have about 60 DH clears and even fewer IH clears

But I do know DH to where I can lead it and have all of the builds for DH so I can do any of the parts

[meager isle]

would yall say D2 is still worth playing?

[plain obsidian]

yes

but ultimately it's up to you, is v6 ford mustang worth buying? nope for me but some people prefer it

[narrow matrix]

It’s still worth playing if you’re into looting and collecting. Once you complete the main missions or side stuff and you get bored and find it repetitive you may not like it but I find the projects keep you occupied

[meager isle]

Is the game still active?

[narrow matrix]

I can’t say for sure on pc but on ps4 it’s still going, just level 30 and below you might struggle to find people

[plain obsidian]

it's active with warlords dlc, raids going on everyday, matchmaking all day

[meager isle]

Even legendary missions?

[plain obsidian]

weekly legendary you'd have better luck with #lfg-pc channel but sure, people do it

[narrow kraken]

Yep, you can even get pick up groups in matchmaking. As to whether they're any good... well I spent three hours and emptied an entire 1.5 liter water bottle trying to to Legendary DUA because this one guy refused to use anything other than Hunter's Fury

[meager isle]

so the dlc is required

[frail prairie]

Hi, how can do update 14 the game ? in play i've the version 1.12

[grand nebula]

Its already in tu14

Otherwise you wouldn't be able to enter the game

[frail prairie]

uhh, i think about old version, I saw on the internet that the latest is 2.01

but is no a command for scan update

[grand nebula]

You literally wouldn't be able to enter the server my dude

[frail prairie]

do it, in forum.... but in uplay, and epic, i dont see the update menu

[grand nebula]

I dont know how to explain it further

If you can shoot a gun youre in the latest update

[narrow matrix]

Is 8% weapon handling useful to increase stability on a machine gun without the need for attachments

For example the L86 in particular

[grand nebula]

I dont know how its quantified but most likely its a significant difference

[narrow matrix]

Should I replace 4925 armor regen on a godrolled knee pad with weapon handling

It has 12% crit damage, 4,925 HP/sec armor regen and 170k armor

[grand nebula]

Yes, # armor regen is pretty much useless

[narrow matrix]

Okay thank you

What’s the best way to get steel?

[grand nebula]

Shd points, outside of that you can see the mats inventory and cursor over steel to see what faction drops it

[narrow matrix]

Thank you Eph!

[fallow inlet]

Morning Eph

[tacit fox]

hey, just got back to the game, was wondering if skill builds are still good to use?

[grand nebula]

yep

[hot current]

anyone can help me to lvl up and get good weapons?

[tacit fox]

ok so i just did a test and im getting 2mill dps on the target, is that good for skill builds?

[grand nebula]

target dummy dps is irrelevant

[tacit fox]

well damn lol where would be a good place to test? its been a hot minute since ive played

[grand nebula]

if your skill damage rolls are good and brands / talents are correct then youre doing good damage

[tacit fox]

i have 3x 10% and 2x 7.6% with 2p hanaU 3p empress and 1p wyvern

[grand nebula]

sounds fine, hopefully good talents too

[tacit fox]

for talents i have skilled and perfect combined arms

with surge and capacitor as my weapons

[plain obsidian]

I'd default capacitor or test subject

In sync give such huge DMG buff

[south bloom]

ikr

i don’t use my skill build much cuz my capacitor shoots marshmallows lol

[south bloom]

indeed

cuz gear score people aren’t exactly endgame

[blissful geyser]

definitely

it's fake endgame

[south bloom]

hell it’s early game with the dlc being a thing

shd lvl 1 is where endgame starts

[heavy briar]

can you get every exotic except the raid exclusives from an exotic cache

[foggy needle]

yes and except big horn. Crafted exotics require owning the blue print 1st though.

[heavy briar]

so i could get Mantis right?

[blissful geyser]

yeah

[heavy briar]

lmao that stupid thing didn’t drop in like 30 exotic caches

but i got 5 acosta go bags

[heavy briar]

i got another one

is the bonus of memento scaling with the number of cores

[narrow kraken]

Only with Kill Confirmed pickups - those increase the long term buffs

[heavy briar]

but like is it always a 5% weapon damage or is it a 20% short term buff with 4 red cores

like does it increase with more cores

[dire parcel]

Anyone have the photo with error code from fieser ?

[haughty stream]

What's a "charge time?" The Sticky EMP has it, the Pulse Jammer doesn't.

Trying to figure out which is better for the Dark Zone.

[grand nebula]

It should stack but not refresh

[dapper bridge]

@dire parcel .. do you mean in the codes called ? like F P C R M 45 .. or 2 Black Hooks

[true siren]

Jammer has the time that you can hold the button to make the area increase, but emp sticky shouldnt

[haughty stream]

I see. I think I'm going to go with Sticky

[grand nebula]

Pulse goes thru walls

[haughty stream]

Hm.

Doesn't last as long though.

[grand nebula]

But hits unlimited targets

[dapper bridge]

@haughty stream what are you trying to use it for ?

[haughty stream]

Dark Zone.

[dapper bridge]

for PVP i would use the EMP sticky .. as it staggers the agent

jammer would break their skills

but no stagger

EMP does take practice though ... as the AOE is smaller than jammer

[heavy briar]

thank you

[placid spire]

How does the FOV slider translate into a regular number of say 90 FOV?

[narrow matrix]

I assume you're talking about field of view which means it increases what you see but typically makes everything more distant and sometimes smaller. That's just my view of it

[placid spire]

I understand the concept of FOV. The gameplay settings has FOV sliders for non-ADS and ADS. But, the scale goes from 0-25.

[undone spear]

Yo my game is mega glitched out. I finished a conflict match with no hud for some odd reason and now my stats are messed up and my shd and dz rank won’t display how can I fix this

[placid spire]

Have you restarted the game?

[inner tendon]

"my view of it"
ba dum-tish

[undone spear]

Yeah but it didn’t work but I fixed by just hopping into another

[inner tendon]

found a comparison on the FOV settings, if that helps https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/b9qizx/psa_pc_players_new_fov_settings/

[pliant vigil]

Hey everyone.. Tell me something.

Do weapon attachments get saved across all my load outs?

[grand nebula]

Yes

[plain obsidian]

different loadouts will save different attachments that you set

[pliant vigil]

I've updated a shotgun that I re attached for my skill based load out but I have my old one on my armor load out..

Is it updated there as well?

[plain obsidian]

if you updated it before you save, it'll save however you had it

[grand nebula]

Whatever its saved as its what it will have when you equip it

[pliant vigil]

Okay, understood. Thanks. 🍻

[haughty stream]

Can you still get Yaahl from crafting random brand sets?

[grand nebula]

Only the ones that list yhaal as a possible result

[hallow raptor]

Also need Yaahl components to craft Yaahl pieces. Watch for Yaahl items for sale at LZ vendors and stock up buy buying and deconstructing.

[placid spire]

So weird that the FOV is vague. Have a good day Rivens.

[south bloom]

i wanted to ask

for a tank build is hazard pro and armor regen good rolls

[grand nebula]

armor regen no, % armor regen yes

[south bloom]

alr

[versed pumice]

Yea

Armor + regen + hazpro + hsd

[haughty stream]

Poo.

[haughty stream]

Even more poo.

I wanted to use a Yaahl holster for my Backfire Dark Zone build for the +10% Hazpro.

Holsters aren't the targeted loot yet either.

[hallow raptor]

if you had the holster blueprint for Yaahl you could try crafting one as well.....

[haughty stream]

I don't have the parts, I don't think.

[hallow raptor]

DZ vendor is selling a yaahl piece I believe...

[haughty stream]

I also wouldn't mind it ha info a +10% hazpro roll on it as well ...

I need 80% hazpro & 20% bleed to negate the affect of backfire.

[grand nebula]

You can be immune before 100%

Its in the sheet, cant remember exactly

[haughty stream]

Happen to know which tab?

[grand nebula]

Let me check

[grand nebula]

Atributes tab

[haughty stream]

Ty.

[fallow inlet]

Happy new year

Night Eph

[narrow matrix]

Is there anything I can do for Cassie mendoza, the past 2 weeks she hasn't had anything in her inventory everytime I visit her

[blissful geyser]

you mean nothing good?

[narrow matrix]

No its empty

[blissful geyser]

when you go up or down after talking to her, does any item details appear on the right?

[heavy briar]

I got the hunter-killer chestplace from the hunters but it won’t appear at cassie

[narrow matrix]

It says inventory is empty

[blissful geyser]

nvr had it happen to me so I have no idea 😕

[narrow matrix]

My game is broken when I show up to certain collectible comm locations they're not even there but I know I've collected some where they are not in my inventory since they're at places you need to go to for shd tech caches in campaign

[heavy briar]

lmao id restart the game

[blissful geyser]

or see if you can not produce the same results in another player's map

[narrow matrix]

I've restored PSN licenses because I failed to receive the stinger blueprint from the friend referral and was advised to do so by ubisoft... no dice

[formal parcel]

Yo so i've been in love with the "Hunter's fury" armor set but i'm missing one piece to be able to make a good build! anyone know where to effectively farm the set?

[hallow raptor]

Targeted loot

[formal parcel]

recently came back to the game- what does "Targeted loot" mean?

[grand nebula]

read pinned guide

[formal parcel]

aight

[frail delta]

does the shepherding system have a cooldown? Normally doing 2 heroic CPs gets me the endorsment, but today I did 2 CP4s + 3 bounties with people and I didn't get the endorsment, this happened twice today. Is this normal?

[nimble spruce]

no cooldown as far as I'm aware - I was under the impression it was based on how much experience you earned in the other player's game. Are you certain you didn't get any endorsements? It could be the host just didn't press their endorse button, but you should still get the auto-endorse regardless.

it's also worth noting that you can't get any endorsements from shepherding clanmates or friends

[frail delta]

well exactly I'm not getting the auto one, nor am I hearing the endorsment alert, nor the endorsment message

ah maybe on my list of friends, you're right

[hushed jewel]

quick question. so i'm Building the FB set, yet i dont have the backpack or the chest piece, i've heard that it drops from the raids, is that correct?

[foggy needle]

Yes they do, but they aren't used sadly (weaker then normal talents)

[hushed jewel]

is that the only place they drop?

[hallow raptor]

yes, only in iron horse

[narrow matrix]

The talent vindictive, does the status effect have to be applied by you and if so do you need to be holding that gun when its applied for the kill to take the effect?

[hushed jewel]

alright thank you

[foggy needle]

Doesn't have to be your status, but you do need to get a kill with the gun to proc it.

[narrow matrix]

Cool, what about if I use a Firestarter chem launcher and get switch back to my gun, in this case a G36

I noticed when I use the sweet dreams I have to hold the gun for a bit before the instant melee kill towards non elite enemies works

Minus the cooldown of course

[muted harbor]

is this game dead
last time i played was when they came out with expeditions

[tulip fiber]

As long as the status is still applied when you switch to the gun. So make sure the fire symbol is there when going for the kill.

[narrow kraken]

What's the best way to farm op equipment

With crit attributes?

[hallow raptor]

targeted loot in open world or summit on heroic or legendary. The rolls are random so you just gotta cross your fingers for crit chance and crit damage.

[narrow kraken]

Hmm the summit😭

[narrow matrix]

For the capture a control point with all enemies reanimating without leaving the capture radius what is the best way to do it?

[inner tendon]

@narrow matrix Solo, play on lowest diff possible. Avoid hitting the head.

then just pick your fave CP. I like the gas station in DC, but it's your call.

[hearty stream]

Can some one give me good advice on the best way to farm for the Memento Backback

[narrow matrix]

I did that one but the outcas rushers sometimes exploded when they tripped and so it didn't count

I'm thinking true sons might be easier since they don't have rushers

[grand nebula]

backpack loot and some luck

[hearty stream]

I figured🤦🏻‍♂️ wanted to make sure the community hadn’t found a better way 😂

[inner tendon]

just a heads up, the same faction doesn't always own that one point, so....yeah.

[narrow matrix]

Really? I only see outcasts at that area

[inner tendon]

making sure you know this:
stack up Directives because each one added on increases your chance for TL drops.

[narrow matrix]

The CPs have the enemies you faced in story, no?

[inner tendon]

Outcasts are more likely to own it, but not guaranteed.

[plain obsidian]

targeted loot and best hoping some people would give you their exotic caches when reset comes

[hearty stream]

@inner tendon I’m a returning player so I’m still getting better gear slowly so if I put a lot of those directives I’ll get smoked!😂

[inner tendon]

Add on a few at a time, start at Challenging Diff since that removes all non-high-end loot from the pool.

basically what you're doing here is narrowing your loot pool.

[hearty stream]

sweet! ill try that! thanks

[narrow matrix]

How come you still get superior items from crates outside of missions and control points

Like ones in alley ways and near safehouses

[untold trench]

https://imgur.com/a/HhR7SYd Could anyone explain this?

[inner tendon]

oh that's actually a really simple answer.
basically, it's because it's possible to loot those without fighting any enemies, so they don't scale up.

[narrow kraken]

Integer overflow - they did more damage than the screen can display so it went to a negative value.

The end screen is really buggy for this and a variety of other reasons

[plain obsidian]

Basically you did a lot of DMG the game can't process it, good job

[nimble spruce]

Hunters fury and negotiators dilemma are both quite good for it. Avoid using striker drone as it will sometimes land headshots. Some enemies will never reanimate (eg suiciders, medics) but that's ok, the main thing is to avoid getting headshots on anyone that doesn't have a green health bar.

[pliant vigil]

Hey all,

Do weapon talents work across all weapons in your load out?

Example - Perfect Reformation on The Designated Hitter, but I land a headshot with my AR. Will it activate?

Also, Future Perfect?

[nimble spruce]

No, they're only active when the weapon is active, unless explicitly stated

Even if you have all three weapons with future perfect, you'll lose those added tiers the second you switch weapon (and even if you switch straight back)

[pliant vigil]

Would it ever explicitly state that?

Also, that sucks. 🤣 But thanks for the clarification. 🥂

[nimble spruce]

One of the talents is 'switch to a different weapon after getting a kill to gain chc and chd' or something

[plain obsidian]

finisher

[nimble spruce]

Think it's a pistol only one

That's the only exception I can think of, anyway

[pliant vigil]

Alright. Thanks a lot.

How in the heck am I supposed to enter The Ark?

I can't find an entrance.

Just garbage thrown everywhere. Lol.

Want to see what's inside and get that collectible

[nimble spruce]

Is that the hospital? There's an entrance around the side

Or is it the one you have to climb some scaffolding to get in to, look for yellow drapes

[pliant vigil]

It's the East Mall area, it just says The Ark - Contaminated Zone.

Is there a channel to add media like pictures?

It's just behind the Castle Settlement.

[nimble spruce]

You can put them on imgur or similar and post the link

I think there's a garage area round the side and a door in from there

[pliant vigil]

Okay, BRB.

For some reason the blinking imgur upload html link won't work.

[nimble spruce]

Have you tried just googling the query? There's probably a guide somewhere

[pliant vigil]

Okay, lemme just YouTube it.

[inland moat]

Ok, so the entrnace tunnel looks closed off - but theres some boxes next to it you can climb, and theres a hole in the top of the tunnel you drop down into

[pliant vigil]

Yeah thanks everyone.

🤦🏻‍♂️ I just saw that I had to climb the tarps.

🤣

[pliant vigil]

Thank you. 🙋🏻‍♂️

[frail delta]

filled on exotics and nameds, starting to fill on opti comps, what should I buy from the season vendor? Since I can't even give away items from bought caches

[rich stag]

Would anyone be willing to power level me? Just restarted on pc and don’t feel like going through another 400 hours of gameplay

DM if you’re willing

[nimble spruce]

If you're in the first two hours of gameplay try the #td2-friend-referral channel

[heavy briar]

i wanna kill the last four hunters in NY but i don’t know if it is worth my time if i die when facing them

has anybody killed them solo

btw i play on normal

and with my build i can 3 tap them

[nimble spruce]

It's risky given such a long set up, I've only done them as a group: a skill player to foam them in place then lay into them with negotiators dilemma or similar

They're easy to kill when they're all trapped on the band stand but much harder if they manage to spread out into cover and start spamming their skills

[inner tendon]

Yep, Solo'd all the Hunters. Unsure on which diff but Normal should be fairly easy.
the issue is probably your build, keep working on it until it's better and you'll get it after a while.

the dye from the Crate is nice, the chest piece less so but it's still worth unlocking.

[nimble spruce]

I'd suggest getting most of the setup done then asking for help in #556242736114696202 once you're nearly ready to spawn them

[heavy briar]

i already killed the quad hunters of dc but i just didn’t know if these four were harder

and btw how can i get to a certain time faster

or can’t i?

[nimble spruce]

there's sadly no way of adjusting time speed in game, I suggest bring a book or something

[inner tendon]

podcast for me.
waiting for hunters is honestly the hardest part of the hunts. That and getting the timing right on some of them.

just wait until you do the boat/clock one over in WONY.

[heavy briar]

its weird because it was 11:00 when i left and 40 minutes later when i logged back in it was 6:30

[heavy briar]

already did that one today

[inner tendon]

time ingame isn't real time, it's like the sims.

[heavy briar]

i just have the quad left

[nimble spruce]

time is a bit weird, I think it actually goes faster at some points and slower at others

[heavy briar]

ik 120 irl equals 24h ingame

[inner tendon]

It can be a bit iffy. I've done the full set of hunts about a dozen times and I'm fairly sure it changes.

[heavy briar]

i am in a safe house rn and there is some guy running lady death with acosta go bag and ss spec and 4 skill tiers

at my shd level

[inner tendon]

if it works for them, it works for them.

[heavy briar]

never seen that before tho

[nimble spruce]

some people are slow learners, in my experience - answered calls for backup on people with shd 2k+ who are struggling on Hard difficulty because they have random builds with no synergy. Presumably they're still having fun though, or they wouldn't have reached that level...

[heavy briar]

obviously yes

[fair fox]

Hey guys does coyote drop from world pool and summit or is jefferson still the best place to farm it ?

[tulip fiber]

Can drop from open world and summit targeted mask loot

[nimble spruce]

it can drop anywhere, targeted loot masks is prob faster on average than jefferson

[narrow kraken]

I just hit rank 40 on psn and I wanna get a good like striker build n stuff for pvp but I don’t know what to do to get the stuff cause imma prob buy season pass today and so summit if I need that for it

[tulip fiber]

Summit is already there if you’re at 40. There’s a pinned message in this channel for new to 40 agents to help out.

[narrow kraken]

Gotcha

Appreciate it

[tulip fiber]

No problem, have fun

[vale sleet]

Whats the point of the manhunts you unlock through the season rewards?

[tulip fiber]

If you need the skill from the past manhunts you can still acquire them

[nimble spruce]

plus more mission variation is no bad thing

[vale sleet]

Which ones are good?, I only got the trapper one

[grand nebula]

get all of them

[vale sleet]

Got it

[cosmic slate]

how do you alter field of fiew

[vale sleet]

Game settings

[slender marlin]

Should I finish all the projects in DC before moving on to the dlc stuff?

[grand nebula]

no

[slender marlin]

Ah, so I can leave some of the safe house liberation stuff?

[grand nebula]

reach world tier 5 and go do dlc stuff

finish the rest when you return

[narrow kraken]

anyone else having trouble with classified assignments?

[narrow kraken]

is it normal getting destroyed in heroic open world?

running solo

[grand nebula]

If youre new and not used to it, yes

[narrow kraken]

yea been playing less than a week

[grand nebula]

Yea its a high jump from challenging

[narrow kraken]

so even if i have a good build, i'll still get destroyed?

[grand nebula]

It actually tests your skills

No, it has less to do with builds and more to do with how you play

Heroic needs to be played with cover mechanics in mind

You have to get good at avoiding damage

[narrow kraken]

alr, imma continue to play on heroic, better to get used to it fast

[grand nebula]

if your damage is good then yea keep playing

and keep in mind how to use good cover and etc

[south bloom]

does the lady death drop from bounties in NY?

been trying to farm it for a bit now and it wont drop

[grand nebula]

no

it drops from world bosses but thats the hard way

[south bloom]

wow

would the summit work?

[grand nebula]

yes

[meager isle]

what game would yall prefer D1vD2

[narrow kraken]

Is there a difference between hardcore and normal mode even if u have your difficulty on Heroic/legendary ?

[hallow raptor]

in hardcore mode, if you die you go back to level one....

[narrow kraken]

Player lvl?

[hallow raptor]

yes

[narrow kraken]

Gn😭 😭

Even when u play summit?!

Cause i can't imagine not dying there

[hallow raptor]

reach level 30, die, go back to level 1. reach level 40, die, go back to level 1

[narrow kraken]

Hmmm evil....

[red owl]

Need help on tech cache side mission

Can’t get past garage door fsor

[haughty stream]

Is punch drunk any good?

I have a very good one, but I'm already running a aces and eights as a mask....

[calm herald]

Do any of you know about the lab under the white house?

[hallow raptor]

that mission opens up tidal basin

[calm herald]

Ohhh

Thanks for the info

[haughty stream]

Just found out my answer, it's not good.

[calm herald]

Wait
After or before tidal basin

[hallow raptor]

before, you see wyvern with the anti viral for the first time.

[narrow kraken]

does the foundary bulwark mask drop in summit?

[small raft]

All Foundry Bulwark pieces except for Chest and Backpack can drop in places where it's Targeted Loot Allocated

In Summit, you can set it to Foundry Bulwark and the mask will eventually drop from an enemy

[narrow kraken]

i've been doing that, everything else has dropped except the mask

[haughty stream]

Sounds like you got a bad case of bad RNG.

[narrow kraken]

yep

[haughty stream]

Okay, so I've played around with the Achilles Pulse a little and I would like to use it on my sniper build, but I have a few questions.

1. Do you have to hit right in the middle of that microsopic box? Or is it the entire highlighted area? If it's the former what the hell is the box for? If it's the latter why in the hell is it so small?

2. It only seems to be affective against bugger enemies, which is fine, but like with the heavies with the miniguns, why not just cut the cute shit and just use a drone and shoot off his helmet? Only takes a few shots, no?

[narrow kraken]

how much skill haste is too much skill haste?

[haughty stream]

Depends on your build honestly.

[narrow kraken]

i got like over 100%

[haughty stream]

What for?

[narrow kraken]

idk

[haughty stream]

You don't know?

[narrow kraken]

no

[haughty stream]

If you have over 100% haste and you have no idea what you are using it for, I think it's fine to ditch your skill haste

[narrow kraken]

wait what does it even do

[haughty stream]

Reduces skill cooldowns.

[narrow kraken]

damn that'll be hella fast

[haughty stream]

Essentially, if you aren't running a skill build of some type you need very little or in most cases, zero.

[narrow kraken]

this is purely a skill build

i don't intend on doing damage

[haughty stream]

So a healer?

[narrow kraken]

ig

[haughty stream]

Well, I can't comment on that one, I gave very little knowledge about skill builds, so I won't be much help here.

[narrow kraken]

what should i replace them with?

skill repair?

[noble ocean]

That would depend on what your skills are

[narrow kraken]

assault drone and turret

[noble ocean]

if your skills are heal skills, then skill repair works
If you're skills are damage dealers, then probably skill duration/damage
If your skills are CC types, then mostly duration too

[narrow kraken]

i lowered my skill haste to 73% and replaced them wil repair skills

most of them are damage and duration

[noble ocean]

Repair skills are pointless since you're not doing any skill repair

[narrow kraken]

oh damn

should i change them back to haste?

[noble ocean]

Unless you have any talent that combines skill kills to repair
But I'm not sure that it works even then

[noble ocean]

Preferably yes, if you have nothing else
Duration, damage work

[narrow kraken]

alr thx

[pliant cosmos]

Question: if I gain the Exotic cache for Reanimated while on a lower difficulty, will the stats be worse?

Is there also a full list of Exotics you CANNOT get from an Exotic Crate?

[plain obsidian]

ravenous, eagle bearer, regulus (all 3 from raids), bighorn (legendary boss), lullaby, ruthless (2 from purchase), that's the list
the rest can be obtained from the cache by default or after you have obtained the blueprints

[pliant cosmos]

Thanks

[heavy briar]

and the stats shouldn’t be lower because the cache has no difficulty ig

[dull arch]

played through the main story base game the boosted to WoNY. When I went back to DC the side missions that had the blueprints are gone? Is that normal? did I get all the blueprints automatically?

[narrow kraken]

Which side missions? The attachment blueprint ones? Boosting instantly completed them

[narrow matrix]

How does targeted loot for an area work as opposed to a mission

Can you pick up targeted loot for that area and the targeted loot for a mission at the same time?

For instance southwest has an area for increased machine guns and gila guard at space administration

[narrow kraken]

Nope, target loot drops within the mission area will be only of the mission's target loot

Of course, you could wind up with LMGs as a loot drop anyway, but they won't be the target loot drops

[narrow matrix]

Okay thank you

[grand nebula]

100% skill haste reduces cooldowns by 50% or so

[narrow matrix]

So I was playing with a group earlier in the summit and we went through floors 1-10 on my session, then someone logged off and it switched to someone else’s session. My checkpoint is now bugged at floor 21, is there any way to go back to floor 10

[nimble spruce]

your checkpoint will always jump to the highest checkpoint you've completed in your or someone elses session

you can reset progress to put yourself back to floor 1, but the only way to get from there to floor 10 would be to work your way up or matchmake with someone who has a floor 10 checkpoint (then quit again before they progress any higher)

unless you're farming for Ridgeways Pride parts though, there's no particular reason to run the whole thing in order (unless that's just what you want to do)

[narrow matrix]

I figured I don’t have a good enough build to run into any overkill bosses yet but that sounds good

[narrow kraken]

Thx

[haughty stream]

Does the headhunter talent timer reset after each kill?

[grand nebula]

Yes

[narrow kraken]

I f up with my directives on the summit ......

How do i remove them and what should i remove or add

?

Return to the lobby

And then?

It only let's me view them

"See active directives"

[burnt hinge]

Guys i redeemed a key for the game on Ubisoft connect,it didnt work when i downloaded it (only had Hide and uninstall options) and when i uninstalled it wasnt in the Games section. Anyone can help?

[grand nebula]

Did you consider writing a ticket to support intead of asking random people?

[burnt hinge]

Yes i did and nothing

[grand nebula]

Next step is to wait for an answer

[narrow kraken]

I'd recommend calling them

[edgy apex]

Hello, where can I go to help raids for the first time? Specifically iron horse

[true siren]

#lfg-raid-console

[eternal quail]

Hey I have a question, which is the most populated map? New York or DC? I just got lvl 40 and I don't really know where to start it's pretty overwhelming

[grand nebula]

read pinned guide

[narrow matrix]

Do more directives increase the chance of better rolled drops?

[hallow raptor]

no, just the chance for targeted loot to drop.

[grand nebula]

it makes it more likely that when some random loot drops it drops as targeted loot instead of random loot

[steel wing]

what is the pvp meta

[narrow matrix]

@grand nebula @hallow raptor thank you

[inner tendon]

However, increased Difficulty will increase the lowest possible rolls that you can get on a piece.
so overall, play as high diff as you can manage with some speed.

[vocal sierra]

Hey. Gotta just man up and ask. Invaded Manning.. Is this locked behind a weekly chance? or is there something I am missing, to get this stronghold to allow itself to be Invaded.

[narrow matrix]

You have to do the 3 invaded missions first to unlock it

But the strongholds rotate

They’re not the same each week

[vocal sierra]

Is it on a weekly rotation? like the other strongholds?

[narrow matrix]

Yes

[vocal sierra]

Damn, was looking to make up a lost week, for My Nemesis parts

[narrow matrix]

Ah, invaded manning is pure hatred for sanity

[vocal sierra]

Id run it on nrmal, for the pure chance to get my last missind part, that I missed last week.

[grand nebula]

Its not a rotation, its entirely random

Some stuff can not show up for weeks

[olive wave]

Is there a better way to farm specific resistance mods aside from allocated loot?

[grand nebula]

nope

[eternal quail]

https://www.gamersdecide.com/articles/division-2-best-exotic-assault-rifles

Is this ranking somewhat up to date?

I'm looking for something very good and rare but not too rare that I can work towards solo

[grand nebula]

its a really stupid list

[eternal quail]

Do you have other recommendations for exotic assault rifles?

[grand nebula]

exotics arent above high ends

theyre a horizontal level of extra rarity

theyre not ''best'' theyre just tool that enable or lean into certain niches

if youre looking for ''the best'' gun, its pretty much never an exotic

not to mention they say exotic and then post 2 named items in the list

[eternal quail]

Is there like a tier list for specific playstyles that you know of?

Some kind of reference

[grand nebula]

i dont even know what a tier list of playstyles would look like

[eternal quail]

No I mean, tier list for weapons FOR specific playstyles

Not tier list for playstyles themselves

[grand nebula]

not really, sometimes you gotta get out there and chew your own food

if you have specific questions people here will answer most and give you insight

[eternal quail]

I don't really have time to farm every weapon and figure out myself what is the best. It's why I'm asking for a reference

[grand nebula]

but theres no magic sheet that solves all your questions, you need experience

if you ask more specific questions, you get more specific answers

[eternal quail]

Alright

I'm looking for a rare assault rifle with high stability with a balanced dps/rpm ratio that is obtainable solo and can serve me as my end game weapon as a dps build

Any starting points?

[grand nebula]

most ARs are very similar in dps output, their handling is what most people kinda gravitate twoards when chosing their favorite
The most popluar due to the point mentioned above is usually Famas/police m4/carbine 7

the named famas burnout has a pretty good talent for handling

and il personally mention the sig 556 as a great accurate AR

[eternal quail]

With handling you mean recoil pattern?

[grand nebula]

handling in div2 is stability, accruacy and reload/swap speed

stability is vertical recoil

accuracy is reticle bloom more or less

[eternal quail]

What is your opinion of this gun: https://thedivision.fandom.com/wiki/Glory_Daze

V.s. the burn out famas

Is the 40% overall handling a better perk vs 100% stability?

[grand nebula]

glory daze is nice, its extremely stable but has normal accuracy and the con of a severly shortened optimal range, 26m isnt that much but if you play around it, it will serve well

that would be down to personal preference

im more of a Famas guy myself

[peak mantle]

this AR is my preferred one as well

[grand nebula]

and it also depends if youre the type of person to run a handling or a damage talent

[eternal quail]

I'd rather have handling to just punch for constant headshots

[grand nebula]

im a handling guy personally, i believe the overall gain in quality of life and more bullets hit outweights the damage increase

[eternal quail]

So def a handling talent

[peak mantle]

40 accuracy -> 60 accuracy is a 50% DPS increase, so my numbers agree on that lol

[grand nebula]

do tell me how youve arrived at that conclusion

[eternal quail]

So what about the damage stats when you drop the burn out for example

How is that dictated?

[peak mantle]

I meant the % accuracy in the end of activity stats

[eternal quail]

Based on difficulty you were playing on?

[grand nebula]

ah, end of screen accuracy is a bit wonky

it will count and not count all sorts of stuff

[eternal quail]

Do I need to farm the gun multiple times to get more ideal stats or?

[grand nebula]

all weapons of the same type have the same base damage

2 famas at level 40 will have the same exact base damage

all you need to worry about are the 3 rolls the weapon shows you

[foggy needle]

FYI glory daze is 26 base range, talent brings it down to like 18m.

[eternal quail]

So it's more about the additional stats you roll on them??

[grand nebula]

indeed, my bad

[grand nebula]

3rd atribute should always be damage to target out of cover, the other 2 are always the same on every AR

[eternal quail]

Which you can get a higher % of with the crafting table thing?

Where you extract the perk

[peak mantle]

the optimize option? that can help tune things but you want a high roll or you'll spend a lot of time grinding for the parts needed for optimization

[eternal quail]

So the most efficient way would be to farm the gun itself multiple times till you get a high roll instead of the parts needed for optimization?

[grand nebula]

you might want to read the pinned guide in this channel if youre as new as to not be familiar with optimization/recalibration

im not sure what you mean with parts needed either

[peak mantle]

yes, if you can manage Heroic. Directives will make it even more efficient, but just run around the targeted loot area doing speaker / hostage / territory control
