@spice surge wrong channel, please use the Raid LFG ones (xbox is #578577794561474571

[fringe spindle]

Does skill repair affect my skill's healing of other players or only myself?

[foggy needle]

it boosts your skill healing regardless of which target you heal.

[fringe spindle]

Nice, thank you

[tepid kite]

what're the fastest ways to level specializations, it's through bounties right?

[tiny granite]

And control points

[chilly grove]

Does skill efficiency affect statuses from weapon talents like ignited?

[foggy needle]

just the status boost it gives

[chilly grove]

That's strange since no skills are involved

[foggy needle]

skill efficiency boosts everything (status effect is part of it) and ignited fire dot is a status effect which is boosted by said stat.

so only the fire dot from ignited gets boosted.

[chilly grove]

Yea and I'm saying that it shouldn't since status can be procced without skills

[foggy needle]

hu?

but TLDR: status effect stat boosts status effects regardless of what causes it (except for scorpio)

[hallow jewel]

So I've been doing The Summit. Pretty fun. Is it worth going for all 30 challenges?

Also, if I collect some exotic parts but not all, and I reach floor 100, can I keep those parts for future ascents?

[tulip fiber]

The challenges can be used to get the capacitor, if you don’t have it already. Do 5 challenges, you’ll get it. The exotic pieces are for Ridgeway’s Pride, an exotic chest piece. You’ll keep those until you get all 5, and complete the Summit, then do a project associated with it.

[hallow jewel]

I got the Capacitor already. The lvl 30 exotic seems doable.

[analog sail]

Season 2 had system corruption? Or what BP they gave us

[grand nebula]

Eclipse protocol

[analog sail]

Season 1 was system right?

[foggy needle]

season 1 is system corruption

[analog sail]

Anything of note in season 2? Named items etc

[foggy needle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[grand nebula]

M1a skin

[manic wedge]

Whats better for farming Tardigrade? Lincoln Memorial or The Summit? 😅 (Is currently on run 15 for LM)

[tulip fiber]

I’ve gotten a good amount from Lincoln. True Sons drop it more often.

[manic wedge]

That's what I throught... Back on the grind I go. 😫

[devout topaz]

wait to get the nemesis blueprint, on one of the first steps

do I need to complete that theatre mission on normal or story difficulty?

[tulip fiber]

The Hotel?

[foggy needle]

It's the hotel, and has to be invaded while already owning 2 of the parts.

Not sure if there is a minimum difficulty for that, but I'd do hard min.

[devout topaz]

I did the mission on invaded yesterday, didn’t get anything from the person you were supposed to kill

Then i said i had to do tidal basin

And I couldn’t do tidal basin cause it was looked behind another mission

[foggy needle]

It's because you need to have 2 of the parts already

Check out the full guide in the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice

[devout topaz]

Ohh

Got it

[south bloom]

how can i easily farm True Sons Tactical assessment

[elfin ermine]

probably true sons bounties if i had to guess cause they drop from named true sons i think?

[north jay]

Can you have 2 of the same attribute on 1 piece? not counting mods

[south bloom]

u can’t

it would be so unbalanced if u could

[north jay]

True

[south bloom]

having chd on every piece is

overkill

[north jay]

then what are some good attrubutes besides chc and chd

[south bloom]

that depends on what build u wanna make

if it’s for a sniper u typically go HSD and CHD with hsd mods

or u can go HSD weapon handling

[north jay]

hsd damage could be nice for liberty

but the buff for body shots is also nice

[south bloom]

there’s not many options for red builds when it comes to attribute

[north jay]

60% damage if I remember correctly

[north jay]

what about for blues?

[south bloom]

for blues ur best are hazpro and armor regen

while armor regen is pretty much useless it’s still useful especially on a foundry tank

all there is besides that is health

which does nothing rlly

[grand nebula]

hazard protection is the only remotely usefull blue atribute

[south bloom]

ye

i don’t even have that much armor regen on my hazpro tank

i just use hazpro and explosive resistance

[narrow matrix]

Did the spas 12 always have 9 rounds

I could have sworn it was 7 a few months back

[tiny granite]

8

[fringe spindle]

Does First Blood work with the Digital Scope?

[tiny granite]

Yup

[fringe spindle]

Sweet, thx

[fringe spindle]

So I went into a DZ Checkpoint with loot just before downtime began. Will I still have said loot when we are online again? Sorry, has been a while since I last played

[spiral ice]

Anyone know what the "end of winter event" is?

[tulip fiber]

Can’t get Chill Out mask from the loot goblin or the Julmust mask from Summit anymore

[spiral ice]

Thanks!

[nimble spruce]

Also fewer of the random npcs will be wearing Santa hats

[cerulean shadow]

There's 4 ways to get exotic caches right?
30 summit floors, weekly legendary, completing summit challenges, and the donation project?

oh and season rewards, 5*

[shy shell]

Global event stars if you want to count that separate from season

[narrow matrix]

is pumped up a good talent for shotguns

[grand nebula]

Not really

[prisma whale]

Its hard to upkeep.

[narrow kraken]

I also want to play with my friends on pc, I'm suprised it hasn't happend.. isn't R6 Extraction crossplay wirh everything

[foggy needle]

Extraction is a different game.

Sony has always been A holes when it comes to crossplay, so issue with cross play has been IMHO sony issue not UBI. If a game is highly popular then sony is more likely to cave on their fees (ie like R6) otherwise fees would be high.

[north jay]

So Lincoln is hf rn for targeted loot, is that better or should I do floor 70

[foggy needle]

Lincoln is best if target loot lines up Tbh

[north jay]

The funny part is, I only noticed the targeted loot because I wanted to take a photo for divashion

[ornate ruin]

hey how can i get the honeybadger because ive been farming ar loot for days to no avail

[tulip fiber]

Just RNG.

[hardy kernel]

You can craft one, but its named version

[ornate ruin]

how

[hardy kernel]

Or go to AR targeted loots areas

[ornate ruin]

farmed those for 2 days 😔

[hardy kernel]

Its one of the specialization unlocking rewards

[hardy kernel]

Be patience....its all based on your luck

Its either gunner or firewall specialization

[grand nebula]

Its gunner

Savage wolverine

[hardy kernel]

Thank you @grand nebula

Btw @grand nebula is there any rules regarding 1v1 duel in dz? I see someone told me not to use any skills like hives, drones, etc ... I found it rather odd or maybe i missed something?

[grand nebula]

no clue man, i have more to do than to learn div 2 duel rules

and so should you

[narrow matrix]

Do kills refresh unwavering without needing to swap to the weapon with that talent

[grand nebula]

yes

[hardy kernel]

Okay

[narrow matrix]

If I don’t pick up stuff in the dz to avoid losing it will I lose it eventually due to distance or dying?

[ornate nova]

Ik the scorpio is in the season pass but can I still get it from a standard drop?

[true siren]

yes

[ornate nova]

Ty

It's true sons you get it off right?

[scarlet lion]

Maybe, although you could try your luck at exotic caches or run shotgun loot for a while.

[narrow matrix]

If you keep reloading for pumped up do you bypass the cooldown of 10 seconds

[tiny granite]

Yeah it resets the timer

Are you using the Boomstick 👀

[narrow matrix]

I was reading the talent and curious about it

I used the sawed off shotgun for the entirety of story mode and world tiers

Loved it

Slap reload speed on that thing and I imagine it will be pain

[tiny granite]

Reload speed is pretty meh, just needs weapon handling

What was it, only 12%?

[narrow matrix]

Can you put weapon handling on guns?

Or just gear

[tiny granite]

Both but for the gun part, there's only one attachment that gives weapon handling

It's a chubby scope, only 5% tho

[narrow matrix]

I don’t mind I was just considering that since you will be spam reloading lol

[tiny granite]

I tried it, kinda fun but not too worth it

Try using it with Ninjabike knees though

[narrow matrix]

If only you could hop over things with a shield

[tiny granite]

Problem is the knees won't trigger pumped up

[narrow matrix]

I like funky builds 🤣

Meta is just boring

[tiny granite]

My guy

[narrow matrix]

If it ain’t a hard hitter it ain’t for me

I dislike sponges

[green edge]

Has there been some sort of debuff to amour I had 4 pice Hunter with amour totaling to 1.3 mill now it’s 884k

[true siren]

no

[tame mesa]

guys I might be dumb but can someone explain what does merciless'(exotic weapon) talent do

it says weapon fires on trigger pull and release

[narrow matrix]

Basically semi auto

But it fires 2 bullets at once when you pull back and release

2 bullets per trigger pull (if they both hit that’s 2 stacks)

All bullets need to hit up to 7 for it to apply the talent

Missed shots reset the stacks

So basically merciless sucks cause low damage and need for accuracy

[tame mesa]

and the recoil is too much

anyway tnx ill stick with pestilence for a while

[plucky mesa]

hold trigger for a split second before release to help with the recoil

[tame mesa]

ohhh now i get it

[narrow kraken]

in short merciless sucks
damage is pathetic
and the handling makes LMGs look good

[south bloom]

xD

i have it god rollled just collecting dust in my inventory

[covert marsh]

you can make merciless work, in certain situations
just don't aim down the scope; it's not an 8x or higher scope, so it doesn't auto-zoom when you ADS
it's fairly easy to mag-dump any enemy at close-ish range, especially one with a large hitbox, in order to trigger the explosion, and the binary trigger makes your effective rate of fire a lot faster

[pliant vigil]

I like using it for Elite Gunners.

Other than that, goes back to the Stash, lol.

[wary shale]

any ways to check if my division is up to date? didn't notice the 4 gig update others talking about

[grand nebula]

if it wasnt up to date you wouldnt be able to log in

[foggy needle]

was just a update prep for Season 2 rerun #server-status @wary shale

[wary shale]

yeah i know but i don't remember downloading anything - maybe it was automatic

[nimble spruce]

Yeah it'll dl automatically if you have Connect running

[narrow matrix]

Is the bighorn effective on heroic? The scoped mode is it recommended or am I better off using a marksman rifle?

[tiny granite]

Just use it as a secondary

[grand nebula]

its a rifle for most intents and purposes

the AR mode is more an emergency something is near me mode

[scarlet lion]

lol

[fallow inlet]

Afternoon kettle

[warm haven]

So, I'm new to the pc version of the game and was hunting down all the exotics. But i cant seem to figure out when kenly college would open back up for me to get the diamondback. If anyone knows when itll be back on id like to know

[grand nebula]

you dont need kenly to get diamondback

but we have no word on when it will open again

[foggy needle]

@warm havenAll exotics are in the normal target loot pool except:
--- raid exotics and Big horn are exclusive to their content. (raids, and legendary for big horn)
---Crafted exotics require owning the blueprint 1st.

[fleet ember]

Where exactly is the US East server located?

[north jay]

In the east us

[south bloom]

can i use my ps4 characters on pc?

[grand nebula]

no

[south bloom]

dang

isn’t it account based?

[grand nebula]

no

[south bloom]

oh ok

[foggy needle]

its not crossplay or save

[south bloom]

dang

[fleet ember]

Thank you for answering my question with such depth! 🤯

[north jay]

Np

[narrow matrix]

The enforcer, do you have to get it through targeted loot or is it DZ exclusive

Spreadsheet doesn’t say

[foggy needle]

pre order only

[narrow matrix]

"""Breach and clear!""" Note: It is possible to get this shotgun by chance even without pre-ordering. (tested)

[nimble spruce]

17a Clarence Street, top floor, second door on the left

[foggy needle]

hm......

[narrow kraken]

Can you access raids without wony dlc? Thx

[foggy needle]

yes Raids are base game

[narrow kraken]

Ok

[tiny granite]

What's the most inaccurate smg?

[grand nebula]

all of them but the AUG is particularly uncomfortable for me

[warm haven]

thanks.

[narrow matrix]

Does ravenous defensive primers amplify damage from all sources or just the ravenous

[plain obsidian]

From what I've seen, it's more likely all DMG for the duration of its buff

[fringe spindle]

I suppose its faster to level my season from 35 to 70 than to do all the manhunt targets to unlock the faye lau mission, right?

I'm 1/4th done with the manhunts

[nimble spruce]

Probably, although I guess if you set the difficulty to normal you could maybe power through all the missions and cps so fast you wouldn't hit 70.

@fringe spindle You'll be able to unlock the final manhunt missions through the season track next season too though

[fringe spindle]

Oh thats nice! I guess I'll grind to 70 by heroic+directives overworld farming. It helps that I can take a break from that whenever I want

[nimble spruce]

Yep, the only thing you'll miss by not doing the full manhunt is some of the voice file things

[fringe spindle]

Ah, I dont mind them

[bitter lagoon]

Anyone able to help me clear floor 100 heroic summit? Am on right now

[warped ruin]

Excuse me, how is that possible to get the Enforcer named shotgun now? Thanks in advance!

[narrow matrix]

That’s why I’m asking

[viscid zodiac]

Well it says by chance. So random drops?

[narrow matrix]

Spreadsheet says it’s still possible I was just looking to see if there’s a condition I need to meet

[warped ruin]

Is there anyone who could advise on this? Is it possible to still get Enforcer (and if it is - how)?

I also wanted to ask about The Bighorn (the spreadsheet doesn't seem to mention it). Could anyone please advise on the most efficient way to farm for it?

[obsidian topaz]

hello I would like to have more detail compared to the nemesis, I have just done tidal basin to recover the sniper to dismantle and now I am told to do the 3 fortresses in invasion mode so my question is how I can know if the fortress and in invasion mode and what is the rotation over the coming weeks?

[plucky mesa]

Missions are red on the map if they're invaded. It's random every week, so maybe you'll be lucky.

[narrow matrix]

Any boss floor on the summit but it has to be legendary for it to drop, more bosses increase your chance for it to drop, leave at least 1 alive if bosses are dead and it doesn’t drop and open map to go to lobby or execute yourself using concussion grenade, make sure to pick up drops before you do this though

[warped ruin]

is the chance 5% from each boss on legendary summit? do you know? and is this chance increased by directives?

[narrow matrix]

Most likely I had to target loot ARs but I did it with a random group and they dropped it for me

[narrow kraken]

i found it doing Weekly Legendaries

which is how i recommend because its a poor weapon

[narrow matrix]

We had the usual noninterfering directives on

[warped ruin]

that may be, but it's my last exotic to get 🙂

[narrow matrix]

Easier to get to a boss floor in summit than the strongholds I wouldn’t recommend doing that

[narrow kraken]

You already have nemesis and ravenous?

kuddos to your luck

[warped ruin]

I was indeed lucky in that regards

[warped ruin]

okay, but ANY boss at ANY boss floor has the same chance to drop it?

[narrow matrix]

Yes but more named enemies = more chances

So higher the floor the more bosses

[narrow kraken]

floor 100 being the best for it since u got 5

floor 90 having 3 but is easily repeatable
eliminate all bosses, leave 1 red alive to kill u
repeat

[narrow matrix]

The trickiest part is actually collecting your loot lol

[narrow kraken]

its not have a tank build

[narrow matrix]

Sniper dogs are fucking atrocious

[narrow kraken]

EMP sticky

[warped ruin]

I may have actually asked a wrong question. I hate doing the same things all over. what about doing legendaries actually? how often does the loot reset? could I do each 3 legendary strongholds daily to have this chance?

[narrow kraken]

you can repeat them
and thats Looter Shooters for you
doing the same thing over and over again

[narrow matrix]

I mean, sure but would you enjoy it, you have to go through the entire thing most likely and that’s just not fun

[warped ruin]

okay, so I'll probably try the Summit

thanks guys, appreciate

[high girder]

is there a way to guarantee rogue agents in a mission?

[inner tendon]

There is no specific way to force Rogues to spawn in missions.

If you're looking for Rogue agents for the Ridgeway's Pride project, I'd recommend 2 methods.

1. Summit non-boss areas that have a closed door at the end of the room.
2. CPs (Control Points) once taken over, have a chance to be attacked by a Rogue pack, that's always +1 to the size of your group.

[high girder]

max level control points?

[inner tendon]

I'm 99% sure I've done cp3's where they attacked afterwards.
however Rogues spawning at CPs can be very rough rng, prepare for a bit of a slog either way.

[loud saddle]

I have good luck at specific safehouses, just running in and out of them kinda resets the chance to spawn.

I get them in NY (two Bridges) safehouse like every half hour at least (I do alot of FTing and convoy hunting at that one so lots of in and out there)

[high girder]

cool

[loud saddle]

also the one safehouse just NE of the Navy Plaza CP (I forgot name of the safehouse) has a resource node next to it that is very generous in spawning rogues

[tulip fiber]

I tend to get them at the West Potomac safe house. They’re at the food source that’s nearby

[high girder]

will have to check it out once i get home from work

[loud saddle]

^ pretty much any safehouse near a resource node is good for spawning. FT points work too but not as easily since entering/exiting the safe is quick and resets the chance, but FT takes longer obviously.

[high girder]

i had the alert that one was around lastnight but could never locate him.

ran all over the area

[loud saddle]

yeah, sometimes it's weird. usually I tell people open map and find nearest activity/resource node and that's usually the location but sometimes if u got multiple nearby, going off to check one despawns them if they get too far away.

[high girder]

noted

[radiant tulip]

If I want a specific piece of equipment, is it better to search for the type of equipment or brand?
For example, I need a specific brand chest plate. Should I be looking in chest plate targeted loot, or brand targeted loot?

[grand nebula]

well think about it

[foggy needle]

always brand. gear slot is for exotics or system corruption in DZ.

[grand nebula]

how many brands of chests are there

vs how many slots a brand can drop for

[tall crown]

Bank headquarters is best mission to farm rogue agents ( unless you’re talking about hunters on summit )

[foggy needle]

IMHO Lincoln is best, because they can be in that second area. So clear the opening area, open the gate and if they dont spawn there, restart and try again.

[tall crown]

For lincoln.. you have to clear first 2 areas… stairs.. and the one after.. then they can spawn once you open gate. So its 3rd area

[foggy needle]

not 2 areas, just the 1st one

[tall crown]

I never got rogues there ( if you’re talking area near truck ).. but i have encountered rogues in next area ( where usually rocket girls and first boss spawn )

On bank headquarters though, its very easy as it has only one spot for rogues..same for coney island ballpark but bank is more consistent every half hour

[tulip fiber]

I’ve had rogues either in the outside area, before going inside, or the gift shop

[fallow inlet]

Afternoon Rivens

[narrow matrix]

Feel like floor 99 should always be rouges

Good way to tie in the hunters imo

[grand nebula]

what

how would that be a good way to tie the hunters

[inner tendon]

hey Saph

[loud saddle]

just as ur about to kill the rogues the hunters turn the lights off, kill em for you, and when lights turn back on u see the rogues hanging from ceiling....

😆

horrible tie in but funny

[tulip fiber]

Hmm

[fleet ember]

Awesome! Would you happen to know where I can find the doctor that dropped you during delivery? I need to thank him.

[nimble spruce]

Fulham lane cemetery, 45th grave in the 16th row from the westmost border of the graveyard

[north jay]

Zeal when servers 😡😡😡

[true siren]

Zeal, dont be like that.

[tulip fiber]

If someone wants to do IH to get regulus for HC character, would that character have to do everything that a normal character would have to do to get it? Initial run through, complete projects, etc. Or are all blueprints shared across all characters, and he’ll just need to do one run to get the components to craft it?

Asking for a friend

[grand nebula]

You gotta do it all

Hc is completely separate on the stash and crafts afaik

[tulip fiber]

That’s what I was thinking as well

[plucky mesa]

Hardcore shares bench, mats and mailbox, but you don't get a stash at all.

[tulip fiber]

Right. Ok.

[ornate ruin]

does the honeybadger drop anymore?

[grand nebula]

yes...

before you say ''ive farmed for a hundred years and havent gotten one'', its just rng, farm harder

[foggy needle]

only 2 things "dont drop anymore" because they only drop during their event. chill out mask and the snowball tommy gun.

[plucky mesa]

Cheer up lad. It might never happen.

[ornate ruin]

i will take this as a sign to never gamble

just found one in my stash smh guess it was there for a yr or 2

nvm bad roll back to the grind

[placid nest]

My friend have PC with AMD graphics card. For some reason even if his pc is good he got freezing screen for time to time.is there a reason for that or is it something that is the problem in the game?

[stark hamlet]

how many times i need to farm or to take control to unlock all the blueprints?

[plucky token]

did they just disable the event today? I saw one of the loot thieves in Summitt today and got the smg

[plucky token]

It's random, there's no duplicate protection so you kinda just have to keep doing it (as far as ik, they might've changed it)

[stark hamlet]

I had the same issue, so I bought 1660ti Nvidia for switching it, I was using RX 580 but the fans were going 100% without much load,
so when I used 1660ti I saw the Vram was 80% and then crash, so no idea why

[stark hamlet]

I think it's still dropping, yesterday night i had faced with 4 of them

[stark hamlet]

ok, just asked cos some of the time were not getting unlocked after resting the map

[plucky token]

Ok, if it isn't then I'm gonna assume it's a but

[foggy needle]

Disabled when the patch hit for season 2 rerun

[placid nest]

So there is no solution for him….

[noble ocean]

The blueprints from CPs are duplicate protected, meaning they will never drop something you already have
Also, CPs need to be challenging or higher for a blueprint to drop

[plain obsidian]

Also it's more efficient to farm challenging CP with directives on (for both xp and blueprints) than to farm heroic CP , just a tip

[dusk otter]

Hi, new player here, I wanna know if its possible to capture all the points in the city and not have the enemy retake em, or are they constantly gonna keep taking them back...

[grand nebula]

you can if youre fast enough but there is little benefit to doing so

[dusk otter]

Ohh alright then. I just hate having to walk every 2 blocks and be assaulted 😂😅

[plain obsidian]

those crazy bastards are all over DC, you're not safe anywhere!

[whole falcon]

i love it now the streets use to be so dead

[feral portal]

Is "The Fall Of Canada" animated film considered canon or non-canon?

[zenith rover]

@narrow kraken here

[narrow kraken]

yea thatll do

no wait thats not the one

i asked about it yesterday more specifically and he said theres a forum link but i cant find that message

[zenith rover]

Doesn't look like he said anything about you looking at forums

[narrow kraken]

ikr the message dissapeared

[tulip fiber]

Can’t really move load outs up or down. Just over write it is how I know how to do it

[narrow kraken]

good luck when you have 16/16

[tulip fiber]

I know, I’m at 15 myself

[narrow kraken]

ive had to save some builds in my discord to make more space

[whole falcon]

ight whats a good gun to pair with the Lady Death smg?

[foggy needle]

id say another SMG or shotty. Burst open with lady death then swap to better weapon once stacks are gone.

[whole falcon]

cause im tryna farm LD rn (with no luck but not giving up) cause ive always ran an AR and SMG but trying new things never hurts

Also is LD good for a tank build?

[narrow kraken]

I'll be re-posting the pins from our retired new player questions channel. Don't mind me 😄

To get to the Warlords of New York DLC campaign, you have a few options:

• You can use the boost at any time from character creation until just before you reach World Tier 5. Doing so will mark all main and side missions as complete. You'll be able to replay main missions upon return to DC, but not the side missions.
• If you reach World Tier 5 (see SIXPIX's guide below), then you can use the helicopter directly in front of the White House.
• Note: Once in New York, you will be unable to return to DC until the Warlords of New York campaign is completed.

If you wish to get the most out of the story in The Division 2, avoid using the boost. Instead, follow SIXPIX's guide below to reach World Tier 5, then:

• Complete Manning National Zoo.
• Complete Camp White Oak.
• Complete the Pentagon Breach, The Pentagon and DARPA Research Labs missions.
• Complete the Coney Island Ballpark and Coney Island Amusement Park missions.
• If you wish and it's available (not necessary from a story perspective): Complete Kenly College.
• Use the helicopter directly in front of the White House to head to New York!

[narrow kraken]

To reach World Tier 1:

• Reach Level 30.
• Select a SPECIALISATION.

To reach World Tier 2:

• Complete the Grand Washington Hotel and Jefferson Trade Center invaded missions.
• Finish the District Union Arena invaded Stronghold.

To reach World Tier 3:

• Complete the Air & Space Museum and Space Administration invaded missions.
• Finish the Capitol Building invaded Stronghold.

To reach World Tier 4:

• Complete the Federal Emergency Bunker and Potomac Event Center invaded missions.
• Finish the Roosevelt Island invaded Stronghold.

To reach World Tier 5:

• Complete Capitol Building, District Union Arena and Roosevelt Island invaded Strongholds.
• Finish the TIDAL BASIN invaded Stronghold.

[whole falcon]

oh my forgot GS was a thing🤣

[foggy needle]

Sadly no cause LD is only good for pvp atm. for pve there are better SMGs and the good tank builds use Liberty+ tall shield.

[whole falcon]

ight so switching up my build lmao

@foggy needleyou dont happen to be free rn?

[foggy needle]

no, just got to work 😭

[whole falcon]

rip ight

[tame mesa]

is chameleon good for end game weapon?

[upbeat rock]

for pve it's good

[grand nebula]

Yes if you build for it

[foggy needle]

[golden berry]

my game is fps jumping rn, really goes up and down, it wasnt like this before, suddenly it become like this, anyone know how to fix it? i already use the lowest settings

[ionic dome]

ravenous is AR?

[grand nebula]

no

rifle

[ionic dome]

is it like m1a cqb?

where u spam left click

[ivory sundial]

Yes

Just with 2 barrels

And an alternating talent

[grand nebula]

what a weird way to describe a weapon

all of them shoot with left click

[ionic dome]

spam clicking left click

[ivory sundial]

??

[ionic dome]

instead of auto

[ivory sundial]

Um

Its a semi auto?

[ionic dome]

like famas

[ivory sundial]

Famas is a full auto

[ionic dome]

or m16 burst

[ivory sundial]

Its semi auto

[ionic dome]

ok tnx

[ivory sundial]

I said that a little bit. ago

[ionic dome]

ok my bad then

whats a good talent for m1a cqb

[grand nebula]

boomerang

[ionic dome]

i can get a weapon with boomerang and place it on m1a cqb right?

[ivory sundial]

With recalibration yes

[nimble spruce]

if you extract into your recalibration table first, and haven't recalibrated any other stats on the rifle

[grand nebula]

you might want to read the pinned guide on recalibration and etc

[ionic dome]

i did just trying to confirm if i read it correctly

is it okay to add boomerang talent to a rifle damage, crit hit damage and crit chance M1A CQB?

[grand nebula]

yea, i dont know why it wouldnt be okay

[ionic dome]

ok il get another boomerang if i ever get a cqb with a DooC

tnx

[covert marsh]

following up on that, you can do whatever the hell you want re: item recal
you're not obligated to be beholden to whatever meta exists re: item properties

and you certainly don't need to get other people's approval on your builds for them to be valid
be your own person. play the game the way you want to play it.

[grand nebula]

usually its not that people want to be meta slaves

they want to have the best combo or skill or best whatever

and dont know enough about something to know what the best way for it would be

[covert marsh]

that's fair

i suppose i'm just used to staring at item talents, brand/gear set properties, and whatnot, and just piecing everything together on my own

[elfin ermine]

anyone know why they removed the gas cloud animation from the pesty?

[foggy needle]

because they reworked the entire gear system back when WONY launched (so 2 years ago)

[elfin ermine]

i know they did that, i also know the talent just spreads the weapon damage but i think the animation couldnt have done that much harm?

[foggy needle]

it was part of the old talent.

which was reworked.

[stable flax]

Evening, is there another way in earning E-credits besides selling the Gear/weapons?

[foggy needle]

that is the best ways,

you also get money by completing things (missions, projects, etc.)

[stable flax]

Oki thanks a bunch!

[narrow matrix]

Bounties

[stable flax]

@narrow matrix thanks!

[simple nexus]

Quick question, is the SHD levels shared between characters?

[tulip fiber]

Yes

Except for hardcore. That’s it’s own thing

[simple nexus]

that's good news then, I wanted to redo my character and make em look like my D1 agent or at least very similar and still have my previous SHD levels I gained on my main character

[tiny granite]

Is Breadbasket on an LMG a stupid idea or nah? 🤔

[foggy needle]

Breadbasket is a bad talent imho regardless of weapon

edit: except that named pistol

[placid spire]

Better talent for Famas, strained or fast hands?

[foggy needle]

both are great but IMHO fast hands

kinda depends on build though

[placid spire]

I've been a strong proponent of fast hands too but, on AR's, I'm starting to get the feel it's wasted potential.

[foggy needle]

nope, still amazing on ARs and even on SMGs too!

just depends on build of course too.

[placid spire]

My thought process is with strained, it only requires you shoot to get the benefit. Fast hands requires getting hits which is a skill issue but, hoping you get the rng of crits. Besides, on an AR and smg, you on average hitting every shot won't get max fast hands benefit.

[foggy needle]

Both require hits to get benefits and also both require “RNG of crits” so these points are null and void.
Fast hands also doesn’t require max stacks to become great, only high stacks (very easy to do).

also when looking at "crit proc" stuff, the "RNG of crits" doesnt matter because you look at the average factor when comparing to see if said "crit proc" is good or not.

[grand nebula]

this is false, hitting every shot will give you full benefit nearly every time

[placid spire]

Strained only requires you shoot

[grand nebula]

youre not considering that strained requires you to dump an entire mag every single time

and also, you dismiss fast hands because of crit rng

and then talk about strained, a talent that gives chd

[placid spire]

I'm questioning it because crit rng and getting consistent hits.

A Famas at on average by the math is going to be 30 crits if all shots hit. That's 2 variables to deal with where strained relies on the no external variable.

I'm not saying fast hands is terrible. I'm questioning it's viability comparative to strained where the requirement is just hold the trigger.

[grand nebula]

You still have the same variables

[placid spire]

I see where you're coming from on the fact that if you miss crits with strained, that's a waste too.

[grand nebula]

Chd is useless if you dont crit or hit

[placid spire]

So, I'm seeing 2 v 1 variable to getting the most from the talent.

[grand nebula]

Additionaly you lose the talent entirely if you stop shooting mid mag

[placid spire]

I've got a bit more thinking to do. I see the strong viability of fast hands as contender 1 or 2 for top talents.

[grand nebula]

You gotta remember that most of the actual value from strained kicks in after you reach 5 stacls

And even then its only an 8% or so boost on a famas

[foggy needle]

Also big note you are also missing. On meta red you already 1 clip without weapon talent, which makes fast hands better imho on meta red

[placid spire]

Yeah. Stopping shooting and losing all stacks is definitely a leg sweep to strained on AR now that I think about it.

Especially in group play.

[grand nebula]

Il always defend that if you really want a damage talent, go in sync and commit

[placid spire]

Striker drone?

[grand nebula]

Either that or shield or both

[placid spire]

Deflector shield?

[grand nebula]

Crusader

Pull it in and out every 5s

[placid spire]

Oh yeah. When you use a skill. That is intense.

[foggy needle]

Iirc Insync is a 12% damage boost compared to 8% strained.

[placid spire]

15%

[foggy needle]

Also GC + insync gives your turret a nice damage boost

No it's not 15%, it's 30% base weapon damage on a red build is about a 12% damage boost

[grand nebula]

It depends on the weapon damage you have
At 130% wd its about 13%

[foggy needle]

What he said

[narrow matrix]

It kind of fires too fast to benefit from strained imo

[narrow matrix]

Would you mind explaining this? I’ve been using test subject for raids with spark thinking it gets me 40% weapon damage when using a turret that hits. Am I wrong for thinking this?

[past creek]

what is the best or fastest way to get the chameleon?

[narrow matrix]

Bounties or AR targeted loot

But you have more chances of getting other ARs through targeted loot imo

[past creek]

is summit a good idea?

bc ive done 100 floors on heroic and not one exotic

i think im cursed

[narrow matrix]

Well cause the way to farm exotics

Is to keep murdering named enemies

So you have to leave someone alive on a boss floor

And keep murdering everyone else

Rinse and repeat

[past creek]

kill named then if no exotic die and re do

[narrow matrix]

Yes

[past creek]

👍

[narrow matrix]

Bounties have at least 2 named enemies on most of the heroic bounties I come across

So you increase your chances a lot

Control points also have 2 named enemies but you need targeted loot

[grand nebula]

That is not true

Its still a better talent than optimist

Comes in at about 7.5 to 8% more damage

[foggy needle]

Busy at work, @grand nebula can you chip in here

[grand nebula]

You get 40% but since the stat is additive it doesnt boost actual damage by 40%

If you have 120% weapon damage, 100 damage becomes 220 damage
If you have 40%+ on top, 160% becomes 260 damage
You gained 40% weapon damage but your damage only went up by 260/220= 18%

[weary prawn]

What is the invaded mission this week

[fringe spindle]

Does reducing the global difficulty still reset manhunt?

[ionic dome]

how do gaining pts on specialization works

[plain obsidian]

level up, do projects for them

[wet jackal]

I did the air&space mission for the gunner stage 2 but it does not count

Why?

[tepid rain]

what is the objective

[wet jackal]

To kill Lt. Kelly

[tepid rain]

it must be atleast hard or normol or higher

[wet jackal]

I did it on normol

And he not spawned

[tepid rain]

i dont know what to say

srry

[wet jackal]

I try it on "story"

[tepid rain]

you see that is the problem

[wet jackal]

Dude i did it on nomal

And he dont spawn

[tepid rain]

oh

[true siren]

did you do the invaded version? were you fighting black tusk or the normal guys

[wet jackal]

Now i know the problem

[narrow matrix]

Some of those objectives have special requirements too

Like destroying their helmet or ammo belt before killing them

[spark birch]

What Build should I go for

[narrow matrix]

What are you looking for

[light ether]

Does finishing invasion still reward exotic cache?

[narrow matrix]

the invaded missions?

no?

theres a weekly legendary mission project that does tho

[light ether]

Oh cuz I remember it used to reward a cache after finishing the stronghold

[foggy needle]

It rewards a named item, not exotic

[wet jackal]

Whats the best method to farm the memento bag?

[inner tendon]

Targeted Loot: [backpack], +Directives, Challenging or above.

[wet jackal]

Challenging is the difficulti right?

[inner tendon]

Correct,
Story> Normal > Hard > Challenging > Heroic > Legendary.

[wet jackal]

I think im one shot in Challenging 😅

[inner tendon]

Everyone starts out that way, but once you've got a build going and learn the game a bit, you'll be able to carry Heroic with no problems.

I suggest taking a look at the pinned spreadsheet over in #td2-build-advice, very useful to learning how endgame builds work.

[wet jackal]

I played div 2 when it came out but i make a break after i hit level 30 and i started 3 days ago again

[true siren]

waitwaitwait

do you have the expansion

[wet jackal]

The dlc?

[true siren]

yea

[wet jackal]

Yes

[true siren]

have you finished it

[wet jackal]

Yes

The first hunt with keener

[true siren]

aight then yeah just farm out backpack targeted

[wet jackal]

On legendary dif i was one shot i hope i find some good random mates on challenging

[true siren]

legendary is a different beast, you shouldnt be doing it yet

[wet jackal]

What are the best guns i gave now a godroll honey badger and a vector are there some better highend guns

Who are not hard to farm

[true siren]

a bunch of guns are good, depends on your build

[wet jackal]

4 piece striker

Can i send u the honey badger in private chat?

[true siren]

no

do you have all the attachments?

Is your crit chance good?

[inner tendon]

Is there a honey badger in the room with us right now?

[wet jackal]

It has 15% ar dmg
21% lifeenergy dmg
10% headshot dmg
And sync as talent

[true siren]

whats your crit chance

[wet jackal]

I think i have 40-50% and dont have my build atm

[true siren]

you gotta put damage to target out of cover on whatever weapon you wanna use, its the best 3rd attribute for weapons (LMGs have some wiggle room)

theres a build in the spreadsheet, follow that

i havent made a striker build myself

[wet jackal]

Where is it?

[true siren]

build advice pinned

from there its in the hub tab

[wet jackal]

Which build is it?

[narrow matrix]

does vindictive stack

say u use 2 weapons

[ionic dome]

can all armor can have DooC artribute?

[true siren]

no

and no

[ionic dome]

so its specific to some armor then like contractor gloves

[true siren]

its not even on contractor

its on fox's

contractor has damage to armor

[ionic dome]

ooo so damage to armor on contractor

[leaden gate]

Anyone knows if it is still possible to get the black hunter outfit?

[spiral ice]

in the store for premium credits

[ionic dome]

technician quest:
kill two hostile with the same grenade

does dis work on demolition signature weapon?

[true siren]

dont believe so, but cant be that hard to test

[ionic dome]

what is a controller it says i need to neutralize controllers

[inner tendon]

enemy engineers, so the ones that throw out turrets and similar tech.

[ionic dome]

ok so blacktusk would be the best faction for it

[inner tendon]

Well every enemy faction has those units, so its up to you.

[ionic dome]

well i just killed a controller saw him summon a drone

but still 0/3

[inner tendon]

Best suggestion I can make is to just keep trying different enemies.
googling it, controllers seem to be the unit with the "wifi" symbol above their heads, so mostly just the ones that spawn out R.C. cars, minitanks, etc.

[ionic dome]

ok thanks

whats R.C?

[plucky ice]

Hello!

Absolute new player for td2 here smile
Is it recommended to buy the NY-DLC? Or is it enough to test the 'standard-game' first?

And is it possible, to just run with the drone that kills everything for me? blush

[inner tendon]

I'd suggest starting off with the base game first, since the WONY expansion is just "more" of everything. Well worth getting once you finish what you get from base div2.
and not really, div2 isn't really an "use skills to afk" sorta game. Player input is important.

[civic flicker]

yea like damage and armor or skill lel.

[plucky ice]

Ha okay 😄

But is it possible to skill up things like drone?

[inner tendon]

You can certainly let your build focus around it, and the Drone can be a valuable part of said build.
but it will never "carry" you.

[plucky ice]

Alright, then I know!
And is it hard to find groups in this game?
I mean, are there many players, even when the game is 'old'?
I'm a dad of two little kids and my time is very limited and so, I just want to enjoy the game a bit(coming from Fallout 76 and that was way too much - 'do this thing daily or you will miss good rewards')

[nimble spruce]

RC is 'radio controlled', it means those small toy cars that drive up to you and then explode, or the ones with big saw blades that make you bleed

[ionic dome]

tnx for the info

[ornate nova]

Will there always be targeted loot for everything or some days does some things not have it

[inner tendon]

The latter, that's why the Summit has selectable Targeted Loot if you can't find it, or dislike the original location.

[ornate nova]

Ty

[plucky ice]

Oh does this game has automatic aiming?
I'm normally not good in shooter things... FO76 had VATS and that was nice

[median nexus]

No, there is not auto aiming

[nimble spruce]

There is for controller, but I think the effect is quite limited

[narrow kraken]

I’m level 7 almost 8 I’ve done a few missions here and there and the game isn’t as entertaining as I originally thought. Does it get better and also is there certain gear in general I should be searching for?

[nimble spruce]

while levelling it's not worth trying to go for specific builds as all your gear becomes outdated every few levels - just experiment with all the different guns, skills etc and find what works best for you

[narrow kraken]

Okay got ya thx

[wet jackal]

What are the easiest directives to activate?

[nimble spruce]

depends on build & playstyle, fog of war is generally a simple one (forces you to look and listen a bit more, but that's not a bad thing)

[wet jackal]

Its this with no minimap?

[nimble spruce]

if you have a source of ammo regen (eg gunner) and low-ammo-use weapons, then pistolero won't slow you down much. If you're all dps and rarely use skills, the skill one won't be a problem. If your armor is generally near full, the broken armor one is fine, etc

yeah fog of war just means the minimap doesn't show you what direction enemies are in, and also won't highlight ammo boxes for you

if you're in the summit, the one that makes armor kits only drop when spec ammo drops is really easy to use - you'll likely end up with far more armor kits than usual (which means it also plays nicely with the other armor-limiting directives)

[small prairie]

game keeps telling me new projects are available but when i look nothing is new and the notification is annoying.

[nimble spruce]

yeah, that problem only goes away if you buy the season pass

or if you go into the gui editor and shrink that box to a tiny dot

[tame mesa]

how to get more apparel cache keys?

[plain obsidian]

level up

[chilly grove]

Does tag team do anything when scavenged skills directive is active?

[tepid dust]

why is my div 2 stuttering? ive changed my settings to lowest possible and it still happens i have good enough parts to be able to run it

[blissful geyser]

I tried a list of stuff you can try out

1. lower graphics, especially turning off dx12 and the render/view distance (so that you dont render all those floating particles)
2. went into task manager and ended some background apps (ie Adobe Cloud crap, and steam, even though I set steam to not auto log in when I start up, it still does)
3. go into safe mode, set game priority to the highest and then reboot your pc
4. verify files or a clean reinstall (optional: reboot the comp before you reinstall the game)

If those doesnt work, might be your pc specs, graphics card, processor, ram availability

[narrow kraken]

Any way to disable screen shake??

of any kind

[upbeat galleon]

yes, I think is called motion in the setting

[narrow kraken]

theres no setting called motion

[upbeat galleon]

if I find it I ll slap ur butt

[grand nebula]

Lmao

[plucky mesa]

Butt

[nimble spruce]

presumably they're referring to motion sickness mode - haven't tested it myself, but I would assume it disables general 'head sway' when running, but doesn't do anything about the screen shake caused by certain skills (like artillery turret & shock traps)

[upbeat galleon]

Ready for red booty? "Motion Sickness Mode" under gameplay

[upbeat galleon]

I ll try

[narrow kraken]

its on by default

already saw that

[plucky mesa]

😆

[hybrid citrus]

I just logged on today for the first time in 25 days, anyone know what the update was?

[nimble spruce]

end of seasonal event, fix the chill-out mask brandset bonus

[dusk sigil]

Hi, I just finished the expansion campaign and now I'm hit with even more stuff to do, I finished the main games campaign and went on to DLC, I am overwhelmed with what to exactly do next

[grand nebula]

Read pinned guide in this channel

[dusk sigil]

🤦‍♂️ ok, I'm stupid

[plucky ice]

Hej!

Is there a good information for beginner, like using what weapons, what to skill etc?

[blissful geyser]

If you are a coward like me, I suggest the attack turret or pulse early game would be good

turret draws fire while the pulse highlights enemies

roller is great if you can hold out for 40s because of the cooldown
the drone seems short lived compared to the turret 🤔

as for weaps, if you like a sniper, have your second weap as a mid-close range weap, this combo is great in case someone comes up to whack you with a stick

[plucky ice]

Well I'm a real lazy player xD

Is it possible to redo the skills later on?

The toward I have to set somewhere and then he shoots? And the pulse is like a grenade!

?

[wet jackal]

Is it possible to restart a mission on a checkpoint?

[tulip fiber]

Checkpoints are good until you finish the mission. You can’t start the mission on a checkpoint.

[wet jackal]

Fuck niw i need to restart roosevelt

[blissful geyser]

it aint as bad as restarting keener's mission if you meet the echo bug 🤣

[blissful geyser]

you will unlock them all as you go through the game

[plucky ice]

So it's not like unlock a skill and level it up? It's just about unlocking everything?

[blissful geyser]

not necessarily leveling it up, it has variants; so you unlock one of the variants completely

and the game sometimes drops mods that boosts the ability of the skill

[tulip fiber]

You’ll be able to unlock everything through the course of the game

[blissful geyser]

||said that way earlier|| XD

[tulip fiber]

Eh

[plucky ice]

Yeah I saw the variants... So with time, I'll unlock every skill and its just luck if they become stronger(dropping mods) or not?

[blissful geyser]

yeah, up to you if you want to go through the entire map to collect points

[plucky ice]

I'm a dad of two kids(one is two months)... I guess itll take years to do, but yeah I want to look everywhere ^^

[blissful geyser]

just watch out for areas with high leveled enemies 😅

[tulip fiber]

Mods are at Lincoln. Great source of farming if you want them

[blissful geyser]

assuming he can get to it since the districts have a level requirement...

[plucky ice]

I just started and I'm level two

[tulip fiber]

Right. Nm. Lol

Spoiler alert

[blissful geyser]

well, you could invite him and do the mod farming together

[narrow matrix]

Do you lose overcharge from mechanical animal / future perfect if you switch to another weapon

[blissful geyser]

no but you lose the capacitor buff if you switch out

[narrow matrix]

Ah

[plucky ice]

So better not running into districts with level 26 enemies?

Oh and another one:
Is it possible to do all content solo or do I need some friends for in-game content?

[narrow matrix]

I was gonna make an overcharge build

[blissful geyser]

unless you are throwing grenades, then that doesnt count as switching out

[blissful geyser]

solo yes, but sometimes it feels good to have ppl of the same level to help you out

[narrow matrix]

What is shield wall on the shields

[blissful geyser]

shield wall? you mean the mod slots??

[plucky ice]

Alright!
I just guess there aren't so many xbox guys and tbh I actually play without xbox live(not worth for the time playing)

[blissful geyser]

you can ask timmy 😛

but yes, console playerbase aint that big 😕

[plucky ice]

Too bad there's no cross play... But that's just dumb

Oh is there legendary equipment or so?

[blissful geyser]

yes, sorta

gear colors
grey -> green -> blue -> purple -> yellow/gold, and then there is the rare exotic (orange/red)
and the dlc green sets

[plucky ice]

Ah okay nice... Sets? Like wear 3 pieces, and you get a bit boost on speed or such?

[blissful geyser]

for the basic gear sets, yes 3; for the dlc, you get bonuses for wearing 2 and up to 4

[grand nebula]

The plural of gear is gear

Gears = ⚙️

[blissful geyser]

😏

[plucky ice]

Alright, seems like I should buy the dlc, not only playing the standard game

[blissful geyser]

I suggest getting it at a discount which comes by often~

[plucky ice]

It seems to be there for $18

[tiny granite]

No you don't

[solid marsh]

i was trying to kill Trip, Lucky, Veil, Paranoid hunters and paranoid just up and left anyone have an answer or seen this happen ON TOP OF THIS i cannot restart any of the steps

[vestal scroll]

Quick question! There's a rank system on The Division 2? For the Seasons?

[narrow matrix]

so I could possibly run

3 guns (1 future perfect)
1 mechanical animal
1 pistol

Acosta go bag

For 5 different sets of overcharge? when one expires of course

[foggy needle]

That's only 2 sets of overcharge, since future perfect shares their cooldown.

So future perfect + acosta's=2

[narrow matrix]

ah that sucks

was hoping to be in constant overcharge 😭

it would have been fun

[misty nexus]

my clothes are bugged. For example my Umbrella Jacket looks like made of colourful wool or my red leather jacket looks like made of red sequins... I already installed the actual driver and started the PC new... idk what to do
you can see a screenshot

[blissful geyser]

game reinstall/restart?

[misty nexus]

In restarted the game again

but still

[fringe spindle]

Will there be an apparrel event before season 2 rerun?

[blissful geyser]

apparel event? you mean a discount??

[grand nebula]

@tepid dragonhes scamming here now

[plain obsidian]

ban and delete his msg, he's like internet explorer scam, slowly moving around 🤣

[narrow kraken]

when i try to talk in text chat and i press enter it says unknown command, am i doing something wrong?

[foggy needle]

DO NOT SPAM, channels. Also please use the correct channel for LFG #lfg-playstation

[halcyon pollen]

OK

[tepid axle]

just got warlords of new york what’s the best build

[lusty garnet]

I have a question about the warlords of new York dlc

[tepid axle]

what is it

[lusty garnet]

On the map it's tell me that there's a SHD tech cache underground and once I'm underground and follow the Maker, the SHD tech cache it's behind a unopened door

[tepid axle]

maybe there’s a lock to shoot

[lusty garnet]

There isn't

[tepid axle]

huh then idk normally for me there’s a lock to shoot

[lusty garnet]

Thanks for the help

[fringe spindle]

No I mean a real Event where you can earn apparel caches, I remember there being one right around Season One.

[blissful geyser]

thats with the season pass

besides, every time you level up, they give you an apparel chest and a field proficiency cache

[cerulean shadow]

Is farming summit floor 100 a good way to get exotics?

[tulip fiber]

Just target loot the exotic you want. Rifles, shotguns, etc. doesn’t need to be floor 100.

[blissful geyser]

used to be great ... not after the farm

[ionic dome]

i keep seeing more vid about striker set build on youtube

is the set good now?

[blissful geyser]

the changes havent been made yet...

[ionic dome]

i tried the glass cannon full meta build its too risky for me

[inner tendon]

Strikers is pretty good now yeah, although I'd caution taking YT builds at face-value. A lot of them are quite worrying.

[ionic dome]

i keep dying alot

[blissful geyser]

YT aint the best place for building your loadouts

[ionic dome]

i mean the full meta i havent tried any YT build yet

[blissful geyser]

take a revival hive

and maybe a shield or a turret that can draw some aggro

[ionic dome]

i do use shield with m1a1 cqb

[inner tendon]

The pinned-message over in #td2-build-advice > spreadsheet is the best place to go for builds currently. They're kept updated and have all been tested on at least Heroic diff.
all-red builds with no shield are more than useable, it just requires a tweak in your playtstyle.

[ionic dome]

i did read those and follow the full meta

got cayote 3 providence unbreakable the sacrifice and contractor gloves

i dont have perf vigilance

its DZ

[inner tendon]

Okay so right there you've already made several mistakes.
the main one being: no Fox's Prayer Kneepads.

[ionic dome]

sorry i forgot to add fox prayers

[fringe spindle]

No, I'm talking about a specific ingame event that grants event caches with otherwise unavailable apparell that is usually not part of the drop pool.

[blissful geyser]

contractor gloves help too

[ionic dome]

i did mention it

unbreakable increase damage by 5% and stack 15x right?

[blissful geyser]

sacrifice is just perfect glass cannon, aint it

[inner tendon]

You don't need to tag me, I'll keep an eye on the thread.
but yeah, if you're following the FMJ (Full Meta Jacket) build, then I'd suggest dropping Contractor's too. It's less useful than you might think.
DtA only works on enemies with a white bar over their health, not on every single enemy that has physical armour on.

[ionic dome]

i might be wrong then

what was that talent that does that i have that on my backpack

[inner tendon]

Unbreakable Talent: which is on the Chest.
When your armor is depleted, repair 95% of your armour. 60s cool down.

[ionic dome]

wrong one
yes unstoppable
my bad

[inner tendon]

Try re-reading the FMJ guide and copying it a little closer.
It's a very effective build if you just follow what it suggests.

[ionic dome]

mask cayote
chest the sacrifice
holster prov
backpack prov unstoppable
glove contractor
kneecaps fox prayer

[plain obsidian]

vigilance backpack is pretty good too

[ionic dome]

im trying to find one even if its non perf

[blissful geyser]

and having the right add ons

[ionic dome]

have crit chance and crit dmg

what to replace?

[plain obsidian]

crit chance & dmg are what you want

[ionic dome]

atribute for armor

ofc it has weapon core

[blissful geyser]

preferred crit chance is roughly 55% (60% is cap) 🤔

[ionic dome]

im at 57%

[blissful geyser]

thats great!

crit dmg

[ionic dome]

chd?

[blissful geyser]

lol, I thought you were asking what chd meant, my b XD

[ionic dome]

ok let me check
login on atm

m1a cqb crit chance crit dam and weapon dmg with boomerang

i did added boomerang

[true siren]

oof

yea you'll wanna get a new gun

[ionic dome]

why?

[true siren]

because you always want dttooc

like its fine but theres a definite upgrade

[ionic dome]

im not good with semi il prob get a assault rifle

[blissful geyser]

carbine 7 is nifty

[ionic dome]

have one shit stats

ye rifle isnt my playstyle tbh

[blissful geyser]

and also how the gun feels to you, not how OP the gun is

[ionic dome]

i just did m1a1 cqb cause it has good stats

but i feel scorpio does alot compare to my cqb

[blissful geyser]

when you start hardcore grinding summit, virtually every drop has great stats

and the gunfire sounds 😎

[ionic dome]

ye i just need some long range weapons

https://gyazo.com/c70478d4223cceb6926300deec4acfaf

heres my stats

80 is bad?

[true siren]

yes

[ionic dome]

how do i make it big?

[narrow kraken]

What attributes do you currently have on your gear?

[ionic dome]

crit dmg and crit chance weapon dmg

should i remove my contractor gloves?

i did spec onto crit chance

sorry for the reply i forgot

ok il post them and add each gears stats and upload to gyazo

[blissful geyser]

providence gloves have crit bonuses as a set

[ionic dome]

also i saw this on YT how can i set damage to appear like that
https://gyazo.com/cce70528331bb54e0211f43d10d91453

may i ask where?

[blissful geyser]

a line of numbers is better than the popcorn one lol

[ionic dome]

ok thanks

[nimble spruce]

Unlikely given the rerun starts in a couple of days. There was supposed to be a new apparel event before the new update, so that might happen after this rerun.

[blissful geyser]

its the 13th aint it? starts in 2 days

[nimble spruce]

Hunters vanish if they go too long without taking damage. For the big groups, it's easier if you get some backup (and set world difficulty to normal). You should be able to run them again if you log off and on.

[plucky ice]

Hello!

Do I need online service on xbox to play td2? Or is it possible in solo/offline modus?

[ionic dome]

sorry for the wait heres my gear stats
https://gyazo.com/ccb50e4f94e215158c0da67d48f26e8f

[plain obsidian]

if you haven't found it it's in UI -> Scrolling combat text

[ionic dome]

thnx

[plain obsidian]

ok so you just need to reroll a few of those headshot attributes into crit dmg

[ionic dome]

yes i havent recalibrate them except the backpack

i havent optimize

[plain obsidian]

roll foxs prayer into crit dmg, pretty simple fix

should take your chd to at least 130 or 140

[ionic dome]

https://gyazo.com/1b4c1534f4c3bcbe8345a625854ed954

my carbine is shit

[plain obsidian]

it's usable, just reroll talent into fast hands, still better than most other ARs

[ionic dome]

im still looking for max stats CHD

isnt it better if its max since ur removing it?

can i ask why?

okey

like 10%?

remove crit chance and add ceska?

[blissful geyser]

no point having high crit chance if you dont have the crit dmg to back it up

[fringe spindle]

I mean its at least good news we will get another one some day. Thanks

[ionic dome]

true i did crit alot but hit like shit

no ceska i look for it

[blissful geyser]

time to craft or grind some 😛

sometimes the vendor got some good ones

[narrow matrix]

Explain

[ionic dome]

i did get my sacrifice from the vendor

sweet i got some 12% CHD on some holster im add it on my providence

i did add alot of crit chance mods no chd
but i did have them chd mods

[narrow matrix]

I found one with dmg to target out of cover but all 3 attributes need to be optimized 😂😭

[blissful geyser]

the harder the difficulty you set for yourself, the better drops you get

try heroic with a few directives

[ionic dome]

should i get DooC on my carbine
https://gyazo.com/1b4c1534f4c3bcbe8345a625854ed954

[blissful geyser]

yeah

[narrow matrix]

Been doing this for 3 months 😅

[ionic dome]

DooC> talent on carbine right?

[blissful geyser]

no, the talent still matters

just gotta have the right one

or one you like

[narrow matrix]

The talent it comes with is stuck on it with glue

You gotta find one with dmg to target out of cover

[blissful geyser]

you can swap the talent out or one of the attributes for it; but you can only choose one 😦

[narrow matrix]

I don’t mind overflowing it’s pretty nice but the mag size needs to be increased to 100 rounds

[blissful geyser]

so getting a perfect drop is ... gl

[ionic dome]

well its either i went for talent or DooC on my carbine

so which is better?

[blissful geyser]

go for DooC first

[narrow matrix]

Speaking of drops @blissful geyser today I was getting skill tier stuff with red attributes and red cores with yellow attributes

[blissful geyser]

it happens yes

[ionic dome]

is 10% chd good for recalibrating?
found one to add for my fox prayer but its 10%

[narrow matrix]

To put in the library or put as a attribute

[ionic dome]

to put it on my fox prayer

[narrow matrix]

It can work you can change it later when you find a higher percentage

[karmic zodiac]

its better than nothing, because you can recalibrate the same attribute over and over

[ionic dome]

oh right i forgot i can still change it but not the other slots

[karmic zodiac]

so you can just up it later, when you pull a better one

[ionic dome]

imma try to aim for 50% chc but more chd

btw my backpack its prov with unstoppable

any recommendation

[blissful geyser]

someone needs help with the last floor of the summit if you want to join them in the lfg-pc

chance to get some nice drops

[ionic dome]

ok 47% CHC and 115% CHD no ceska gloves yet

imma try to look for ceska and non perf vigilance

[plucky ice]

Buying standard game + dlc or standard game + dlc + ultimate edition?

Is it good, what's in the ultimate edition?

[nimble spruce]

Ultimate includes the year one pass, which has a few extra missions plus you can start using half of the specialisations sooner

The extra missions don't have difficulty scaling though, so must people only really run them once or twice

On the other hand, buying the year one pass separately is much more expensive if you decide you want it later on, because it's never discounted alone

[plucky ice]

So the $6 are worth it?

[nimble spruce]

Worth is subjective. I'd get it, but I've already put hundreds of hours in this game and enjoy it a lot

[plucky ice]

I'm a dad with two small kids and therefore I'm able to play about 5 hours a week... I'll have years to do 😅

[plain obsidian]

if you have the little bit of extra cash, i'd say it's worth it considering your game time isn't infinite

[blissful geyser]

and it gives slightly better matchmaking

one needs help clearing, the other needs good drops

how is that hard? 🤔

[ionic dome]

what should i add on my handling shd perks?

[blissful geyser]

bigger inventory is a must 🤣

[ionic dome]

ammo capacity?

[blissful geyser]

oh the shd watch

weap dmg or crits first

do the fourth one last

[ionic dome]

i mean the handling

accuracy ammocapacity
reloadspeed stability

[blissful geyser]

I went reload first

[ionic dome]

ok thanks

[blissful geyser]

but if you find yourself out of ammo lots when fighting hard enemies, yep

doesnt matter, they can talk, they are more competent than most pubs ||who rush in instead||

maybe you can teach them 😛

just hope that 3 dont rush you at the same time...

the host is doing it on challenging though 🤔

why tag me and not them =3=

[plucky ice]

What is this year one pass?

[blissful geyser]

extra keys, boxes, cosmetics, access to all previous bosses on certain missions

[plucky ice]

Oh nice, well I guess that's worth the 6 bucks

Oh and will the game get more expansions? Or is nothing planned?

[karmic zodiac]

We do not know what the future holds for Division 2. All we know is that we have new content coming soon (speculation seems to point to the end of the season rerun coming up)

[blissful geyser]

there was gonna be something by the end of last year but it kept getting delayed

sad

[plucky ice]

Okay and should I wait until season is over + new stuff is up with buying ultimate edition? Or will I get it, even when I buy it now?

Sorry for all the questions

[nimble spruce]

That's the season pass, the year one pass is the one that includes classified missions and lets you skip field research

[blissful geyser]

this is, ask the community channel after all, dont worry about the questions

we were all in the same spot once

[karmic zodiac]

The current running season has nothing to do with you buying the ultimate edition. So you're good to go whenever you'd like to buy it

[plucky ice]

Alright, will do

I just don't want to buy it now and then in about two weeks or whenever the expansion comes up, I have to invest again you know?

No question, the developer should of course be paid

[blissful geyser]

yep

[faint isle]

hey all it stil possible to get season level 100? it say 1 day 21 hr left but I am got the season only few day ago and im reach lv54 but really want get lvl 100, can be done still?

[true siren]

it can be done

it'll be really boring but it can be done

[faint isle]

I am plan play tomorrow put on serious but took 3 day to reach am current lv 54 but rest 1 day soudns tough

[true siren]

you asked if it was possible, it is possible but maybe not for you

[faint isle]

are there good method but not boring and not hard I am only do hard/challange

[true siren]

bunch of directives and do supply convoys, or do the farming strategies in the summit

[faint isle]

yea it sound not me I am no couraged

okay supply thank u

[true siren]

^

[faint isle]

5d it directives all of them? wow ok I am goin try

[ionic dome]

how to customize my character again?

[blissful geyser]

apparel tab in inventory

also, have fun with the pistol directive 😅

[ionic dome]

i mean customizing the appearance the face sliders and such

pistol directives doesnt work much on gunner cause they gain ammo per 60 sec

[blissful geyser]

assuming they have regulus ^ ^

[ionic dome]

regulus is exotic?

[nimble spruce]

Yeah it's a raid only exotic, not the easiest to get

[plucky ice]

Buyed the ultimate edition... Just downloading 😁

[grand nebula]

Bought

[nimble spruce]

Bort

[brazen nebula]

burt

[tulip fiber]

Bert

[narrow kraken]

Where can i see lion eyes in my inv?

[nimble spruce]

Pretty sure you have to collect them all in one session

[narrow kraken]

not my question

[tulip fiber]

You don’t see them

[nimble spruce]

So unless your short term memory is truly terrible, it's irrelevant

[narrow kraken]

balls if i missed one ill kms...

cannot fast travel across the entire map or theyll despawn again

[nimble spruce]

I don't think fast travel is an issue, just things like changing the difficulty or entering the dz

[narrow kraken]

well no bcos i did it in 1 session last time

[nimble spruce]

Pretty sure when I did them I fast traveled. Wasn't solo though.

[narrow kraken]

theres 6 right?

[nimble spruce]

I'd just find a guide and follow it in order, safest way

[narrow kraken]

yea but last time taht didnt work, rivens said last lion eyes despawned

[inner tendon]

6 pairs, yes.
for those who prefer a guide, this should work: https://segmentnext.com/how-to-get-the-angel-hunter-mask-in-the-division-2/

technically: you can fast travel while you have them, but I've heard unconfirmed reports of it causing issues, so I'd suggest playing it slow.

[narrow kraken]

suffering

[inner tendon]

podcasts help during Hunts/grinding.

[austere wind]

can someone help the game didnt registier i did the side missoin...

i fully did it but it shows i didn't do it

[narrow kraken]

my fucking game crashed when the hunter spawned

FUCK THIS DOGSHIT

tried second mask
Stupid fucking second button doesnt work becausei fast travelled

fucking dogshit game

[inner tendon]

Take a chill pill, 'Night, div2 glitches out sometimes, and sometimes it seems like a glitch but it was actually you.
It's worth checking multiple guides to make sure there's not something you're missing.

[austere wind]

@inner tendonhey could you help

look in divashion becuase you guys don't allow images in troublesshooting

[narrow kraken]

cant even fucking restart it because the first console is dead

[grand nebula]

Divfashion isnt a troubleshooting channel either

[austere wind]

i can't

[grand nebula]

Upload to imgur and link

[austere wind]

fucking post images in troubleshooting

[grand nebula]

Doesnt matter what you can

[austere wind]

no taking a screenshot in game and posting is more simple then fucking doing imgur

[inner tendon]

I've already mentioned using imgur on your initial post in off-topic, please stick to the right place.
and there's no need to be rude, people are trying to help.

[grand nebula]

You being lazy doesn't factor in, keep the fashion channel relevant

[austere wind]

simple isn't lazy

[grand nebula]

Yea youre right, lets all use the channel for whatever
Mods are too worried about being rude to uphold rules, bless their souls

[inner tendon]

I was going to the bathroom, geez :p

[grand nebula]

sorry riv, im not used to competence, apologies

[ionic dome]

is this better than my carbine 7 (weapon core Dooc healh damage)
https://gyazo.com/685f3cd185e57d3b04fa03665dfe68b8

[grand nebula]

it might be in dps but only on paper since it handles much worse

[ionic dome]

so carbine still good?

[inner tendon]

C7 is considered one of the "meta" AR's, so carbine quite good.

[grand nebula]

i mean, no other weapon has the possibility to make your carbine bad

it will remain as good as it is

[plucky ice]

Is it possible to trade things with other players?

[inner tendon]

Items can only be traded between players if they were obtained while in the same group, before the timer in the item menu runs out.

[plucky ice]

Thanks!

What's the best weapon in the game or isn't there a 'best'?

[grand nebula]

theres no best

its like asking what the best ice cream flavor is

[plucky ice]

Alright, so personal preference...

[tepid kite]

is there a weapon dmg softcap ?

[copper oak]

Anyone wants to join noob running round doing stuff?

[grand nebula]

in a sense yes, because theres only so much gear you can get

but theres no limit in terms of actual damage

[tepid kite]

im talking about the point where u stack so much, it doesn't scale as well tho

[grand nebula]

you mean diminishing returns, and kinda, after 1% you get less and less but thats true for all the stats

[tepid kite]

so i could instead swap some attributes for armor since i am running glass cannon and vigilance

[inner tendon]

I'm sure someone in #lfg-pc would love to.

[grand nebula]

no, armor with glass cannon is literally useless

[tepid kite]

really ?

that sucks

[grand nebula]

building armor alone is useless 90% of the time

[copper oak]

Eh, did that some time ago, waiting, and considering channel history, unsure how much it is of use, most messages seem to be more late game things

[grand nebula]

for armor to be worth something you must be using a shield mainly

[tepid kite]

i do use a shield

though im not sure if it's gonna give a huge boost in tankiness

[grand nebula]

with glass cannon it wont

if you use glass cannon 0 sense in armor

[inner tendon]

The majority of the player-base is past-lvl 40 by this point, so that's where you'll find the most people.

[copper oak]

I see

[tepid kite]

ah, ok

[copper oak]

Was wondering if anyone interested to drop by and run around the map together with me)

Stage4/lvl30

[inner tendon]

Again, stick to the right channels or you'll get warnings.
it's really not that tough, join a clan if you can.

[copper oak]

Yeh

[cyan cargo]

May I know what the yellow round icon indicates on my character screen? I know the icons on the left are wep dmg/health/skill tier but I'm unsure about the ones on the right side of them

Would love to attach the pic for more clarity but I'm unable to do so

[nimble spruce]

you can post pics to imgur and put the link here

[cyan cargo]

one moment

[cyan cargo]

https://imgur.com/mTltX3O

[nimble spruce]

yellow is skill stats, so the icon on the left is how many skill cores you have, the circle is how many skill-related secondary stats you have

(eg skill damage, haste, healing etc)

red and blue are weapons damage and armor-related ones

[fierce lily]

Is WONY available when using ubisoft +?

[cyan cargo]

So is it good to have a high yellow circle stat if im using a drone/turret build?

[nimble spruce]

depends what the actual stats are - you want as much skill damage as possible, but you don't benefit so much from skill haste or duration (those skills spend far more time active than on cooldown) and not at all from healing

[cyan cargo]

Now it makes sense to me. Thank you 🙂

[ionic dome]

found dis
https://gyazo.com/3021b29a3a94180e914e75fc8b82cb15

should i change the damage to armor into DooC

or change the talent instead

[nimble spruce]

I'd change the talent on that one - DtA isn't terrible (has a lower uptime than DooC but not by a huge amount) while strained on a rifle just doesn't make sense

I wouldn't optimise it though, just use until you find a better one

[tulip fiber]

Boomerang or rifleman for the talent

[ionic dome]

this is my old one
https://gyazo.com/287e6e110b0637dceb522bbab1786488

so boomerang better than DooC?

[tulip fiber]

DTooC should be the third attribute if you can. Boomerang or rifleman are my opinions for the talent.

[ionic dome]

but i have to choose either i go for boomerang or DooC

cause i dont know which one is better Talent or DooC
if u have 2/3 stats on m1a

[narrow kraken]

Obviously chocolate
what a foolish example

[grand nebula]

talent over stat

[tulip fiber]

DTooC is a multiplicative stat, so DTooC first, then the talent. On the second photo, if you can change the crit chance to DTooC do that.

[ionic dome]

ok thanks

[nimble spruce]

DtA is also multiplicative though
