NSYNC... I want you back! Bye bye bye!
This I promise you!
It's Gonna Be Me that has to end this riff.
Random question but is the division 2 pointless to play if I don’t have warlords of New York expansion?
not pointless no.
but highly recommended
you buy WONY when you reach then end
Ty I just hit 30 today havent completed the main story yet but have been wondering about the expansion for awhile
then now is the perfect time to get it.
Once you start the expansion, all your lvl 30 gear is trash because lvl 31+ - 40 gear is much more powerful
Oooo neato thanks for all the info @plucky mesa
It's often on sale so get it when it's cheap
If you're wanna play or something, I'm almost new too 😁
My GT is same as it is here
Does capacitor everytime has the same stats?
Assault rifle damage
Damage to armor
Health damage
?
Yes its an exotic item
exotic items stats cannot be changed
they can be rerolled and Optimised however
^
if all the stats are terrible % like 10/15% 3/6% 5/10% you can reroll and hope to get higher %s, maybe 1 or 2 Maxed then just optimise the last one
Alright, thanks guys!
rerolling costs an exotic component however
which you get by dismantling an exotic
its fine tho because soon youll have more exotics than you could ever even want
only reason im keeping mine is to upgrade my stats next update in 2023
What's the max cap on exotic components? 99?
20 @ionic mica
Ah
Alright... Yeah I found yesterday this raid 1 assault rifle twice(one myself and one dropped from another one)
And rerolled it for almost perfect stat 😁
Another question...
When I run summit, there are floors with emp...
How do you handle them with a skill build?
Switch over to dps build them?
But you can't change specialisation when you're in summit?
You can switch loadouts when in safe zones
usually before you enter the room, isac will tell you what’s in it. quickly change your loadout.
but bear in mind, if your skill are activated (drone), you might want to swith them off.
as long the enemies havent notice you, you still can change loadouts. but if the minimap flashes, and changed to red before you changed your loadout, good luck to you, my friend.
Alright
Will start with it today I guess 🤔
For drone encouters, EMP pulse jammer is nice
Where do I get that?
you already have it its one of the Pulse variants
Oh ok!
ah 1 too many, shame.
mornin riven
Can you get dz named items from the end caches on every 3rd floor that require a key
Someone I met told me they received their gift from there
Nope.
Summit Chests don't include DZ locked items.
Is there European players also here? 🤔
yeah there's a lot of EU players here, not sure if they're on console though
I can pretty much guarantee that there are European people on xbox.
Its EU day time atm
Americans just woke up 
Well the normal ones atleast not the ones who get up at 5am
i work midnight now so i just got home 😿
Yikes
OK, maybe I'll find someone later to play with 😁
check #td2-clan-recruitment , you might find clan with EU folks there
I feel attacked, lol. Normal is overrated
I wish I didn’t have to at 7 am but it is what it is
how do you live this way
5:30am every day, otherwise my dogs just slap me until I wake up to feed them. XD this is the way
i miss my dog
should be able to pet the doggos (all the doggos, not just the puppy) in game, just saying....if the civies can do it, why can't i?
I might have accidentally shot one of the dogs to see if they were invincible
they aren’t…
OOF, to the rogue corner with you
yeah I should go to the DZ again soon
Maybe tonight once I finish a project up
Can’t wait to get absolutely fucking destroyed by DivisionXRay again
My bad just noticed you mentioned the puppy
How did i get hyenas things for the optimization
killing some of the named enemies.
Or do CPs?
I say Hyena Bounties. Super quick to finish, other loot too.
is acosta go bag a useless exotic?
I was wondering if I can just turn them all into ex cache
its highly niche. so rarely used
Any tips on getting more specialization points?
Certain activities award Spec Points, as does just levelling up.
e.g. take a look at certain Bounties, there should be an icon on it telling you how many points it rewards.
Okay thanks!
clearing the weekly invaded and Cp4 also reward points.
#1 thing to remember: have the Tree you want points in active.
Yeah I accidentally de selected it cuz of swapping load outs and not Saving the specializations did level up 5 times in that period :/
Thanks
hi, at what difficulty level do most people play?
challenging/ heroic
Is it a most efficient way to farm SHD level than doing resource convoy ?
its 1 way yes. borning though and better off farming target loot instead TBH.
Ok thx 🙂
@empty coral you're looking for #unofficial-troubleshooting
Clear landmarks in the dz
Super fast about 2-3 minutes per landmark
I like using a shield build for tanking damage on heroics, makes it easy to do
Does HF have any kind of status effe- wait does the 5m stun count as status?
When they get disoriented from a kill, yes
The grudge
maybe
So, if you run a raid multiple times in a week, will you just get nothing?
No boss loot and no cypher fragments?
1st run you can get the 4 raid keys from the boxes. Boss loot. Fifth key from boss. After that, you can still get loot from the bosses, and the key drop from the boss as many times as you’d want. Can open the raid chest as long as you 5 raid keys.
I didn't think you got any boss loot on subsequent runs - just the key from the final boss?
Always get loot from bosses. Just not the exclusives. The exclusives may just be on a lower RNG after the first run.
I’m down but might not get the expansion for a bit so I’ll be stuck at 30 for awhile
Can u get more keys on different characters
Or are the keys shared
Raid keys are not shared, so multiple characters can collect the four keys on fresh weekly run. Then the same stuff applies.
How good is Measured
How many Blues is it good to have on HF?
Measured is meh, depends on you, generally 1-3
2-3 blues. I. Don't use any though.
Measured is bottom tier, worse then Optimist and that is bad too.
Measured gets better the more weapon damage and the less total weapon damage you have
So it depends largely on the way you build
But overall its still mediocre
As far as blues, 2 blues is what id recomend for general bulk, more than that doesnt really make a difference
yea 2 is the sweet spot imho. Or go for 5-6 if you plan to go tank.
yo, can someone please tell me if the Scorpio is still in the loot pool? I am farming shotguns for 2 days now and got like 8x sweet dreams
yup, it is
so ive tried out hunters fury properly
it kinda sucks ngl...
The HH HF does slap however in comparison
I don’t think you’re using it right then.
hi all is there is way to throw turret farther? Im been using rigger build..
rogue agent throw to behind me Im want to throw like that but have get close..
Well your first mistake was using Rigger
I mean the ai throw way farther than we can so however far you throw is as far as it can be thrown.
im was used hunter fury but die many time rigger Im been dying less...
Well first of all Rigger
while the worst possible thing you could be using...
is a skill oriented set
so your skills are doing everything while youre sitting comfortably in the safety of the far away from enemies
It's bordering busted with how often you can stun crowds and regen armor
The build eph has posted works really well. Especially with the Scorpio.
Rigger is a very nice set too, specially when trying to compensate for things like turret cooldowns
A near-permanent sniper, mortar or incinerator uptime is nothing to scoff at
Constant drone could be torture as well.
this is true but using it the drone would die sometimes and you'd have to wait regardless
and since you have little to no skill haste you have to wait longer
but if your drone is in vicinity and you can see the health you can cancel it
otherwise for a passive drone rigger sucks
Rigger is bad because HW does near the same thing without the huge damage loss. Also those skills that rigger uses already have low cooldown and can be picked upped.
Iirc rigger deals ~20% less damage then HW (both using backpack) and even worse if you use rigger chest.
you either have no arms or youre playing very wrong
the set absolutely shits on 99% of content
Doesn't the Rigger chest raise the damage bonus to 50% while Hard Wired only goes to 20% or whatever it was?
rigger is skill damage, hard wired is total skill damage
So they get put in different places in an equation and the seemingly bigger value actually gives less because of it?
Kinda
Oh well, I'll take solace in knowing I can spam the incinerator with that without juggling HW's cooldown
Rigger buff when 
ok Im understand not use rigger 😦
^ this is an accurate statement about hunters fury
I don’t think I can ever use anything other than hunters fury. It feels so versatile.
Try pistols
Pistols with hunters, or just pistols in general?
basically one is % + %
the other is % * %
Stick learned the math and know hes spreading the gospel
He's starting to believe
kinda confused on the Recalibration Station/Library. coming back from not playing for 2 years, so this is all new to me - you didn't used to be able to extract specific things off of gear before, as far as i know.
watched a couple videos on it. there's a level 1-30 library, and a 30+ library? what's the separation for?
also, essentially how i'm viewing this is that if there's a piece of gear that i don't intend on using, but has a max'd out stat/attribute, i should add that to my library rather than deconstruct the piece, right?
30+ if you have the WONY dlc
i do, i just haven't touched it yet. working my way through WT2 currently in DC. should i go to NYC before getting to WT5, or does it really matter?
If something is godrolled might as well keep it yeah. You never know when you might come across it again.
I’m not sure To be honest
The separation is cause the levels of attributes and core attributes are higher at level 40
Almost double what you see in the slots for weapon damage, crit etc
oh damn, really. so is there really any point in extracting attributes/stats if i'm still leveling up?
Nope
no
Just get yourself to 40, through the story
While you’re going through WONY if you see stuff with max attributes or talents but don’t plan on using it
You can store it in your library
i'm level 30, and in WT2. but i'm not gaining levels, so i assume i need to get to NYC to move on towards 40?
You need to clear the invaded strongholds
Do you care for trophies or the lore of the game?
yeah, for trophies. i pay attention to the lore, but i'm not like super invested in it.
Well if you wanna earn trophies you gotta play through to WT5
There’s a guide pinned on how to get there to avoid a boost
Yes
For some reason my brain just finds multiplicative being better than additive to be uncanny
I have no clue why
The armor regen ruins me tbh
Playing solo a lot of the time, I can't just not work without a reward for being aggressive
The more I push, the easier it is to kill enemies and the more armor I get back
Ruins me in a good way or a bad way?
I guess it depends
I synergize too well with it to the point it almost works like a crutch for my suicidal playstyle
Lol I think that’s the same with me.
But at the same time I play full red and it rewards me pushing enemies because the armor regen just barely keeps me alive
So I'm always fighting tooth and nail for the regen instead of just facetanking things I shouldn't
And the inability to refresh the disorient adds a layer of restraint to the playstyle
Honestly it's just perfect
Well, nearly
The build eph has in here all I did was change on hunters fury to blue armor and it’s a perfect dps tank balance.
I wish I could use banshee pulse on survivalist
Somewhere down the road, we might be able to.
Hot.
I love it and the spotter drone
The drone saved me from so many rushers while I was tunnel-visioning
I wish the mender seeker was a bit better though
Seeker itself is just overwhelmingly cute, but... I dunno
what u like about it
i tried it but don't really understand how it works
it just drew lines all over where enemies were in range to mark them which i personally disliked
The lines give the location of enemies out of the line of sight
Several times I glanced the line and saw it was pointing behind me, to which I flicked my aim to the side, pulled my Dodge City(tm) pistol and kneecapped the poor sod
The range is also very generous at tier 0, with the sharpshooter having a scan range mod for it
You can also relocate it whenever, unlike the little sensor ball
And for some reason enemies don't care about it at all, so you can put it basically anywhere and even before fights while not alerting enemies
I love using it to scout for elites to snipe before starting fights
mender mine needs better AI, scouter drone should just be a perma scanner without having needed to be set at a spot
The drone scans if it's set at the player as well
It's basically a two in one scanner using the drone slot
I wonder what else I can use for my skills at tier 0
Can anyone help me get the Eagle's Strike world lvl 5
that's from dark hours raid, try #lfg-raid-pc
Daily what exactly?
Daily quest
I just completed the one in pathway park
Was wondering if there is on on the dc map too. Can't find the Pilot to go back to DC but I swear I saw the icon on my map
Did you beat the dlc yet?
Should be a big circle on the map with dc
As long as you don’t have targeted loot showing.
Ahhh I can just fast travel to something on the dc map
I thought I had to speak to the pilot 🤣
Is the first exotic cache guarantee memento ?
No, caches are always rng
Got a memento on the first one ever
Lucky bastard. Have fun with it.
tfw no pestilence
Is it possible for rogues in DZ to completely hide their status?
I just got killed by a guy who was not marked rogue in DZ
I got rogue agent at floor 4 on heroic is that a random event ?
It is random
is vile good with pestilence?
I know of the Systemic Corruption set that hides the nameplate
From what I understand it’s not a status effect it’s a debuff
Vile and pestilence work with 2 completely different stats so no, it's not
The weapon damage cores on armor don't affect signature damage, do they?
They do
I never seen blue cores tots in matchmaking, that set is made for dmg
I was interested in seeing how it works with gunner's minigun by giving me a somewhat constant supply of ammo
And also I guess it would be interesting with Tardigrade, since it removes its cooldown on signature kills and the armor bonus is based on your own
Is the game down or something? The news on the Ubisoft Connect are not working and the I cannot sync with the achievements and stuff.
Looks like there's an issue with Ubi Connect in general, across all games. Nothing official on it yet but I see a lot of people talk about it on Social Media.
Can I change the targeted loot in summit between floor for example 7-8? Or do I have to restart then?
You can, yeah
Thank you, @bronze berry! Appreciated!
Awesome! 😍
Thanks for info
You can do, @plucky ice! Yeah!
Also thanks 😁
Does skillspeed only reduce the cooldown from drone / turret? Or does it also make them shoot faster?
Are you asking about Skill Haste?
If so, it's just cooldown.
Yes I do...
Well, is there a max of it?
Not really, but it's also not usually the best stat to go for on builds with a lot of Yellow cores.
since a few seconds vs more damage isn't the best trade-off.
I'll play with waveform...
So I'll have 5 times skilldamage and considering what's the next best slot in if not skillhaste
Still Skill Damage., Waveform or no.
Check what your cooldown is before and after all those slots are used for Haste Vs Damage.
I'll definitely get skilldamage...
But I have a second slot - and that's where I think about what should go in
oh Skill Haste/Weapon Handling/HSD, basically anything you want if you don't wanna use any of those 3.
Can Cassie Mendoza respawn if I already completed the bounty once?
She has a 1 hour timer
Cassie's shop is already unlocked for the week once you locate the Snitch, Bounty or no Bounty.
she doesn't move until the week is up.
Right now it says Vendor closes in 41m?
Yeah Cassie has a bit of a strange timer, she's open and closed in regular timeslots all week.
Ok but can I access her again without the need of doing another bounty?
No need to ping, I'm here.
As long as her store is "open", you can access her again. Assuming you have found the Snitch for that week.
And either way you never "need" to do the Bounty, just find the Snitch.
Yeah and I'm unsure if I get 5 times skill haste, cause its 25 seconds and at the end 5 seconds?
Don't know if I'm in need of that 😄
You too, no need to ping.
Whops sorry
Adding in one minor Attribute of Skill Haste will add 12% if its maxed out, that's 12% extra.
You won't get "5x" from 5 slots.
Thanks
Farming for specific exo... Waveform
Going to Lincoln memorial and hope that the targeted loot is holster right?
Summit is perfectly fine, as is basically any other place.
long as you're playing on Challenging or above, with Directives, you're good.
OK, thanks!
Is there any good empress chest with kinetic momentum?
Seems not when I look on the sheet
Thanks
all chests can get all normal talents
Hello 🙂
Can someone tell me how can i obtain blueprint for SHD calibration bundle?
Thanks
Control points, lvl 3 or 4
People cant hear me when i talk with my mic even tho it says im talking any fix?
id rather wait the 10s for recharge than lose half of my damage by using rigger...
ah ok ty @plain obsidian
What's the best way to grind for chameleon
Targetted loot Assault Rifle anywhere really...
Also bounties
are the servers down?
afaik most ubi stuff is rn
Forums are back up now
ah yes the forums
Targeted loot bounty, it's a more common exotic so bounty should drop it fairly easily
bounties have increase exotic drop %s?
I'm not that good in the game that's the issue so I might die lots
Open map -> Matchmaking -> Call for Backup
Can we still get the Sharpnal Trap?
yes
Yes. If you reach one of the levels of the season pass it gives the Schaefer Coney Island Manhunt mission as the reward. Just change the mission type to manhunt
Thought so, just didn't show up that Schaefer drops the Trap, so just wondered. 😅 (Goes to solo them)
where do i access the season pass?
At level 40, you get the session pass. Once at 40, it'll be on the main pause menu
Have u tried killing cleaners
oh so i need the yk dlc?
Yeah
Control point 4 maybe
Bounties, cut down out the middle-man.
Hello agents! Is there a possibility to get a SHD hat in D2?
Well, i guess it was one time grab during that event... So?
It's very likely locked now, since it was an Event Reward.
It is possible that you can buy it for credits/textiles in the ingame store, you'll have to check.
Yeah, there are other caps, but noone has a shd logo on it. Like this -> https://twitter.com/TheDivisionGame/status/1239917653621440515
But thanks for reply. 👍
There's the Pathfinder one, which is backwards, blue and has sunglasses
Ooh, it looks dope! Bought it with textile. Thank you!
It do be dope
Now if only the only sight glasses weren't the hipster ones from rescue specialist

Am I missing anything by cruising through the WTs? Are there like weapon attachments tied to Side Missions, that if I skip in WT2, and move quickly into WT3, I can't get again? Or do the rewards stay the same, and I just need to do that side mission at some point in my playthrough the WTs?
nothing is WTs exclusive so you'll be ok
Does anyone know if you can still get comms from previous seasons if so how ?
side missions will still be there until you complete them, weapon attachments can be farmed from control points
can only get those coms (that are not the man hunt target mission) during that season.
Thanks for the reply that sucks for me
one would hope they'll get replayed/reran again in the future.
ill try bounties again see if it works this time
Including the rogue status icon?
idk tbh I think the fraction of players who play DZ is as low as the fraction that uses SC 
Check social, your in game mic might be muted
Oh ok thanks!
Afternoon AZ
Fastest way to farm XP
assuming Convoys?
Resource Convoys with like 6/7 directives, not sure since I've never done it
DZ Landmarks are pretty quick too, good XP for a somewhat easy experience on the PvE side
ah yes 6-7 directives when only 5 can be enabled
Lol, yeah that mistake is made all the time.
They are right though, Heroic Convoy +5 Directives is the mathematically fastest way to level up.
However: you'll burn out pretty fast just doing that. I suggest variety.
i havent done that yet so imma try it
and im not alone so i wont kms IRL doing this xd
at least the directives this season aren't horrible \o/
What even is the activity for friendly resource convoys
What are you supposed to do
Is it like when you capture a control point and a team leaves to go gather materials
they occasionally make a handy fast travel point
And you escort them / give them resources? That’s the resource convoys?
I think you can escort them (they speed up a bit if you hang around) but I'm not sure if there's any point in doing so
I helped them gather food one time thinking it did something, big NOPE. Followed them all the way back to CP to see if I get a reward, nope.
but the fast travel point can be handy at times
I remember when I was going through the main story and there was projects to do activities in southwest, downtown west and foggy bottom… there was nothing else spawning except friendly resource convoys
Had to wait like 30 minutes for supply drops
that's gotta be a pain for sure. I know I regretted doing CPs in NY early on while leveling cause it killed a lot of the activities on the map to get levels/gear outside of missions.
When I first read resource convoy I was thinking it was a guarded truck that was driving in hostile territory
I teleported and was confused af
Lol
imagine a Riker Heavy driving a barb-wired up school bus through the streets. XD
is it faster to get XP in the DZ than convoys?
700k per level IIRC
weekly invaded missions are also hefty, 3 directives if I remember right will give one level.
on heroic at least.
how the hell do you matchmake for more people to join random bounty
its locked out if im already in group and theres only 2/4
id be forced to call for backup but that aint it chief...
Where's the best place to farm waveform holster?
Had a 3 hours run in summit with holster as loot... Nothing
same place as 99% of gear, its target loot.
and its just RNG
highest difficulty with the most directives you can still speed clear on.
Mhm ok...
Will try tomorrow then
Thanks 😊
I'm reading through the "I'm Level 40, This is Scary..." build guide... and they're talking through choosing how to target loot for a particular build. They say, for example, that they want to target "Combined Arms" talent on backpacks, and that they know there's a Perfect version of it on the Hana-u brand.
How would one go about finding that information out, if they didn't know it off the top of their head?
in #td2-build-advice you have a pinned spreadsheet with all the guns, armor, brands, gearsets and talents/exotics in the game
so you can look over and see what talents you want to use, if theres a perfect version of it, and what item its on
Ah, should've known there was a database somewhere haha... thank you!
thats a great point actually, il add that into the guide to make it clearer
thanks!
Oh, that's your guide? Awesome stuff! Reading through it now that I'm back on Division 2, and it's walking me through a bunch of questions I had.
yea i wanted to consolidate frequently asked questions in one place, and im always happy to improve it
Guys! Hunting Angel hunter in DC and i think i messed. I can't loot pairs of lion eyes.
Does refrigators has cd like other caches?
Already did, but it wont work.
what happened?
I mean i cant interact to loot.
Game crashed after i killed hunter... So i thought i can redo from start.
But i can use to loot those eyes, heh.;p
ohh no if hunter died its a bit fucked
go to the white house
and go to the front of the box
the key should be there
Okay, gotta do it now.
the mask might be in the place where the hunter spawns
if its not there youl have to find someone who hasnt done that hunter before and do it with them
because you wont be able to get it to spawn on your account anymore
Well, it's not there. Not in White House and in Haven. Yea, i already checked that spot, where i killed hunter, but there was nothing.
Sure i will do that way. Thanks for advice!
Oh! Nevermind now. Teleporting to WoNY area and port back to DC resolved the issue.
I can pick eyes now. :) Anyway, thanks again!
ah nice, then the hunter didnt die it seems
umm hi all how am I can see the stat of my pistol shotgun?
evening epht
any clan that plays DZ?
You could try looking in the clan recruitment for one.
there are a lot of people who’s asking questions just for the sake of asking.
thats fairs
what
how are the shd levels unlocked?
Do you have the WONY dlc?
you need that?
I’m afraid so
Only weapons past WONY are locked behind it
So base wony exotics then the seasonal ones along with the 2 summit ones
Wony is onsale cheap
Game felt really boring without it, but then again I was gone for three years so…
I think if you can get it, get it. It’ll freshen up the game.
you can check the spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice , all DLC items are marked
Hi everyone, I just killed the demon hunter but it didnt drop the mask, only an ivory key. Is the mask drop chance base and can I resummon the hunter again?
ah yes The Kimetsu no yaiba
i remember my first encounter
all jokes aside, Happened to me
Kill all the hunters
and i mean all
If 4 spawn, kill all 4
if 1 escapes you need to go to someone elses session and kill all 4 again
if you dont kill all the hunters and get all the masks you wont get all 8 keys
Is TD2 down at the moment? mine says, "TD2's services are not available at the moment"
restart launcher
So I have a question regarding Cassie Mendoza. I had found the snitch and he revealed the location for Cassie. I went to her and bought something off her. She was on a 60 mins timer and then she closed. So my question is, to find her again I'll have to find the snitch again for him to spawn Cassie? I've heard that Cassie is closed for 36 hours or something of that sort. It's kinda confusing to me as to how her cycle works. I mainly want to buy the "Hunter Killer" chest piece off her before the reset.
Do ninjabike kneepads fully reload 1886?
Iirc Cassie will be available for 24 hours, then 36 hours off. For example: Today is Friday she'll be available for 24 hours (ending at Friday 9am your time), the next time she'll be available again will be on Saturday 9pm. (CMIIW)
As per rubenalamina web: Cassie’s current opening times: Sunday 7:00 PM EST, Wednesday 3:00 AM EST, Friday 11:00 AM EST.
Have you got "Hunter Killer" from the chest previously?
No not yet but isn't it guaranteed to drop after getting all 13 hunters killed and opening the chest?
basically she shows up every other day
You need to kill all DC hunters to get Splinterer
you need to kill all NY hunters for Hunter killer
you need to find the snitch once per week and only do the bounty once per account
Okay and which day and time does her inventory change?
once per week, every tuesday
Okay. Do you know the exact time?
And the timezone
i just know she shows up Wednesday, Friday, Sunday CET
Yes, but if your intention to go to Cassie for the Hunter Killer, then I have to tell you sorry, Cassie won't sell it you. It's only available once you got it from the chest.
Its also not a worth while item
^
Okay so getting that item from the chest is also rng?
So I collect 13 keys and open chest and I can get something besides the chest piece???
Off white keys open the nyc box, which always has a hunter killer
But you only get to open one per character
Its not 13 hunters either
The dc ones drop ivory keys and 8 open the dc chest
Nyc dlc hunters drop off white keys and 8 open the nyc chest
honestly Hunter Killer... if it wasnt Golan but at the very least Belstone if its defensive oriented... then itd be worth it imo
rn its more worth for the Black paint xd
Thanks. I guess I just need 5 more hunters now
Where is shotgun TL today, I must be blind.
TL doesnt have all items daily, it rotates. so if there is no shotty TL then youd have to do the TL in summit.
Oh. I came back after a year break. Forgot stuff. Ty.
np
DC and NY sometimes have duplicate TL
but are u sure theres no SG TL? i think one of the offsite missions had it
Whether there is or not, there is officially "too many" Loot options now to have all the locations covered.
So when the TL you're looking for has a bad/no spawn, Summit is the answer.
that gets boring..
is it better to run Obliterate or Trauma in pvp? 🤔
i mean Obliterate is more damage
but blind you basically shut down the other guy...
Watch them run into walls while blinded
I see a lot of Unbreakable pulsed and Trauma
i can see why...
you dont really need more damage its utility that u want
Best way to farm electronics?
hyenas drop electronics
so do black tusk
rikers/cleaners drop all crafting mats
Dismantling green gear sets gives electronics
solar farm CP run too for all those boxes
NY everywhere drops them tbh...
is it possible to change the order of the saved builds?
no, have to overwrite them
Afternooon AZ
hi all I am think of starting a new hardcore character, because Im died once but after palying the game I've been learned better... but I have saw items from mailbox from my main chara can be picked up? is it allowed and wont break the game?
it from my dark zone time but I stop going coz of being killed a lot, it is allowed to do?
yes, it's allowed - you won't be able to use them until you reach the same level though, and you can't stash them either (because you can't access stash)
so maybe just leave them in the mailbox until you're ready to use them
Im killed many time when I hook item to the chopper and already forgot about it Im just can sell it for e money thank u 😦
Can someone tell me how to get "Crit Damage +12%"on Equipment mod slot? bc, shops/drops are only giving me 10% to around 11%
and then it's just luck?
is there a place on the forums to put requests? like the ability to move shit up and down instead of overriding
not sure, maybe?
already been done (by Argo, no less): https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/134661/loadout-quality-of-life?lang=en-US
If i do a new character can i use after hit level 40 all my stuff from the old?
yes, if neither character is hardcore then you can share items through the stash
Also the points for the specialization?
no, you share watch points between characters but specialization points have to be farmed on each character separately
you don't have to redo the field research to unlock some of them, though
On all 3 core i have 165
tbh it doesn't take that long to max points in the different specs, just have them active while playing and they'll level up quickly enough
lmao
especially if you do the daily/weekly projects & bounties
oh damn theyre adding it probably 😮
time will tell
the easiest way to level up spec points without having to do all of the projects is to throw on the spec you wish to level and equip a skill build and go on challenging and spam levels
your garenteed at least 1 level up at the end of the mission
another note is taking on invaded missions as well
getting 1 lvl per 5 mins doin heroic 4 directive convoys
sounds about right, it's pretty close to 1 level per convoy, pretty fast if you know the spawn doors and just murder them as they spawn. (minus the fast traveling between locations)
Convoys and other open world stuff were probably the fastest I've leveled
The challenging/heroic missions are somewhat fast, but I also overextend a lot and die, plus the convoys are a minute or two long, maybe three
Is the drop pool from CP3 the same as CP4 or am I losing stuff by accidentally triggering CP3 fights?
the same afaik
Thanks
Can someone please help me with a raid I’m a shd lvl 50 and I want to get the eagle bearer
go to #lfg-raid-pc, please
Wrong channel #lfg-playstation
is there like a recommended GC for doing raids? cuz im lvl 40 SHD 49. andd wanted to start trying raids out and dont know what to do
GC?
gear score or shd lvl whatever its called
Nah
"nah" what?
Nah you don’t need a specific shd level to start
Just the right build
You need a crit dps build or strikers gearset build to get you going but since you’re shd 49 you’d be better off with 3 piece providence, grupo + ceska or fox prayers + contractors
You want your crit chance at 60% and crit damage above 130%
Coyote mask can be helpful
60-130? really most time i see people wanting atleast 50-150.
how the hell could you have that much crit chance and damage and not get shredded?
Yea 150 is ideal but unless he spends weeks grinding for a perfect build he can go in with what he has
Plus a lot of your crit chance and damage comes from gear mods and weapon mods
Oh raid enemies are like 10 times a normal tanks health 😂
The bosses at least
oh yea you 100% get shredded if you get shot. raids are endgame content man.
not something to take lightly.
yea i know that ive watched a bunch of youtube vids running DH
There’s not much to fear imo, iron horse is the one where it gets difficult cause you’re on your own a lot
Same with the end of dark hours
Just don’t run glass cannon until you’re used to the enemies imo
@narrow matrix first ever run i ran glass cannon. was alot of fun LOL
You’ll want obliterate and vigilance on your chest and backpack
😂 nah yo glass cannon to me is just asking for death
but i didnt start raids until i was 60-160 so already pretty set
but ive also got alot of time in div 1 and div 2 so its not a big deal to me.
Glass cannon reminds me of when I put black ops 3 campaign on realistic
LOL
“What’s the big hype”
all the damage hahahah
@narrow matrix what about skills? and since its a crit build what weapons should i run?
Shield is necessary for most parts
Turret will be asked for in some parts
A lot of the times you’re alone, turret plus reviver hive
I’d carry a chest piece with spark too
Reason why is cause iron horse and some parts of dark hours my accuracy tends to get shoddy when my distance gets further so it’s nice to have constant dps that’s not glass cannon without stacks
It’s up to you what u wanna run this is just my experience lol
If I remember correctly someone said breaking down gear sets awards electronics, carbon fiber, and titanium. Is this true?
dismantling weapons can give you steel that’s for sure. the gears i dont remember
Given that recalibrating armor needs ceramic, I think breaking down armor gives ceramic as well
you can go to your inventory, and see the desc for each mats. it will tell you where you can get them from
I mean, some of it is a bit vague
Ceramic doesn't specifically state it comes from armor, but it does state Outcasts usually have it
Steel has some stuff about the True Sons using it to make weapons, but it's not really a "dismantling weapons gives steel"
Electronics is the better example, where I honest to God have no fucking clue which dismantling gives it
Good morning
Is it worth to do the manhunt?
I'm more or less fresh 40 with shd 50 and don't know if I should farm for equipment or try to do the manhunt
Is the reward for it good?
Oh and another one...
Talking about MODS - should I only use maxed ones or even the lower ones?
I have 100|100 and can't pick up anymore...
Don't know what I should keep
Mod to answer a question about mods: junk any mod that is below 75% of the way to a god roll.
and anything not High-end (Gold).
Keep 3 mods of each category for armor, and 1 of each stat for each mod slot in skills
You'll hit 300/300 Printer Filament rather quickly, so get ready to sell the rest.
Can get decent loot from the manhunt, while farming for gear, so twofer. The repair trap reward at the very end is not worth it, but you can do that mission at any time if you proceed along the reward track. First completion of the final manhunt usually grants an exotic. So if you don’t have a particular one, you might get it from there.
Also don’t go above 90 something mods, because then you won’t be able to switch load outs.
Ahh alright
Good, I'll keep every stuff that's over 75% to godroll and trash the rest or sell?
I want the waveform holster @tulip fiber but seems I don't have luck with it haha
Guyss, Warlords or NY year 2 pass is same as the expansion ?
I have the base game, if I buy the div2 warlords or NY year 2 pass i have Warlords of NY
It says Add On in epic games
@plucky ice Remember: TL: [Holster] +Directives, Challenging or above.
Also, the reason I specifically say 3 armor mods of each is because the loadout saves the mods as well, which means you can save two loadouts that use the same mod on different armors, switch between them and the mod will show up as slotted in both
Which also works the same for skills
summit
Summit
Yeah...
I'm on my way on heroic without directives right now...
But in three days in a row, I didn't saw any TL/Holster
summit
Yeah, also tried... No luck
summit has TL holster
Summit harder ☝️ 
Become a certified resident of the summit and let it live rent-free in your head
Get utterly consumed by the burning desire for loot
Alright!
So heroic with a team and then with directives on summit
can u change the difficulty without wony?
Yes
You can go up to heroic in WT5 (base game)
After completing missions on story and normal for invaded missions you’ll unlock the higher difficulties consecutively
darkzone question
can you see someone's name plate inside a safe zone if they're not a ally and your not at the steps?
if you complete raid on character 1 and get 5 keys
then switch character, can you get 5 keys there too
or is it account based?
Yeah it's character based so you can get the keys once per week per character
Niceeeeeeeeee
If i get a shd level with my main did i get it for my second one?
Once youre lvl 40 your second character will have the same SHD
we all do mostly...
Is it possible to do multiple puzzles of the hunters at once? Suppose I do 2 steps in a puzzle for 1 hunter and then do the other one, will it reset my progress on hunter 1?
Mainly asking because I'd like to get many hunters at once since some of them require a particular time of day
I believe so. As long as you don’t switch servers. Ex: go to NY or DZ.
highly recommended you dont
but its possible as long as you dont do the following things:
Fast travel,
Die,
log out
Anything that will bring you to the 0-100% Loading screen
Any of these things will reset your instance and youll have to do the puzzles all over again from the start
ALSO GET SOMEONE TO HELP YOU
if someone is in your instance and even if he doesnt do anything
he acts as an anchor
meaning youre allowed to fast travel, die, etc... as long as he doesnt do any of that at the same time
Basically youre going to save HOURS if you do it with someone else
Can I be in someone else's session and still do the puzzle myself?
yes
Thanks for this tip. I appreciate. I am on the last 4 hunters that spawn together (the one where you have to shoot 12 buildings) and it bugged out for me and won't let me shoot the targets down. I guess I'll have to do it on someone's session who hasn't done the hunter yet
there are some puzzles you cannot do again once the hunters die
meaning the one where you have 4 hunters if you only kill 3/4 youre fucked
you gotta find someone else's session to do it there again
are u sure it bugged because its 6 targets this time
and final 6 targets at this time
Okay so I'll have to be extra cautious for this one then. I'm at 7/8 off white keys and I really need the hunter killer
i did that one solo
one hunter escaped while the 3 pushed me
had to join someone elses session and do it there
Yes, I did 6 targets before 5:30 and after shooting them they stayed down. When I did the others in their time, the targets kept popping back up
that means u didnt do it at the right time
Nah it was day time (after 5:30)
iirc... it was 5.30-18
and the final ones 21-5
I'll have to recheck this just to make sure
I will give it a try again later tonight. Will probably need someone to help me out then
not worth it alone especially the puzzles you have to travel around the map for
i wouldve saved hours of time and so much less anger if i fucked anything up...
mornin Eph
You really dont need hunter killer unless its an extremely niche build im not aware of
oh yea was about to say...
I mean, I've already spent so much time to get 7/8 keys so I might as well get the last ones 🤭
the 5% you get from Perfect intimidate isnt really worth it because Gila guard is a shitty brandset by itself
You do get Black Paint once u get Hunter killer however
I like the sound of black paint
ah shit even worse
Gila: Armor HP regen
Golan: Status regen armor
ah i got the 2 mixed up
Status regen..
Lmao
yea status regen and armor
i checked the spreadsheet
granted golan is good with 2 pieces and even with 1 piece
but i dont see a build where youd want both Status effect and bonus armor damage...
atleast ur not bored
can i get shd lvls without wony?
no
then why can i get more xp after lvl 30?
The 'day' ones have to be done after 7am iirc, so between 5.30 and 7 you shouldn't be shooting any of the targets
lvl up caches?
has anyone tested by getting xp as lvl 30 and then going to NY to see if they have a boost in lvls?
It doesn't boost your levels, it's just for fp caches and spec points
ah yea fp caches that was it
Otherwise every player that put many hours in pre WONY would be instant lvl 40 when they got the dlc
specialization you mean or?
spec
White House, left side opposite the vendor
Same desk as where you unlock skills and perks, but further down
🤔 do you only have 3 specializations?
i dont see the table with the choice
arent the other 3 DLC? @nimble spruce
you have to hit lvl 30 and clear Capitol Building in story mode, I think
oh that?
kk thx
and how do u unlock flamethrower specialization? do u need dlc or something?
nope, but if you don't have the year 1 pass or ultimate edition you have to do some field research before you can start using it
basically a bunch of mini-quests
so its “free”
yes, you don't need to buy anything to access the new specs
sweet
this is the easiest way I found to do that 4-hunter summoning ritual: https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/fn24q8/new_york_hunter_4_visual_solution_food_truck/
no faffing around with videos
depends on the person
the videos i personally used so they work
some people like to follow by looking exactly where the person walks
it is one of the longest and most tedious hunter puzzles, I don't envy anyone who has to do it more than once. I'd definitely recommend setting the world difficulty to Normal BEFORE starting the process (as changing it later will reset everything)
actually youd be wrong there
The most annoying tedious and hated one would be the Literally easiest one...
The one where you press a button at Greenwitch
Another button at Safe house
and finally shoot the power box
Because it takes an hour minimum
and its an hour of just waiting
and if you screw up anything you gotta wait an hour for your day to go back to morning to start again
so its 2h lost per screwup
IF it doesnt bug out by itself
i nearly tore my hair out with that one
the 4 hunters one doesnt have nearly as bad time gating
i have score instead of lvl now
which throws me off
which specialization should i unlock first
whichever you want
there is no "best"
really just depends on what you wanna do, build wise
Technician is pretty good for a turret/drone build. Gunner is also nice for that armor on kill bonus
It's better if you switch your play style a bit and take time to max all specializations
I really appreciate you doing this ❤️
This is awesome. Will definitely be using this as a reference
no life builds
optimised to the max with all the meta items
you can get exotics at any level i think
you can also reroll lvl 30 exotics to 40 if you get DLC
and i see people in videos have the weapon locations on the map but i dont
how do they have it
Targeted Loot is locked to having completed WONY.
If you enjoy the base game, it's well worth getting the WONY expansion during a heavy sale.
It's basically the "second half" of div2.
after checking the map i see a hunt on someone what is it
does it give something good?
money
xp
resources
run of the mill stuff
is lady death locked behind wony?
Anything with a Skull mark next to it is DLC only
Lady death is one of those
@grand nebula the "This symbol means its WLNY DLC only" is gone i think
i know it was in the brands tab
i cant see where it was moved
The icon is still there and fairly self explanatory.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
If I'm out of bounties what's the next best way to get credits?
Shd points
Ooooooh right I forgot about that
no mercy from eph
how to get the exotic ar chameleon?
same way as you get 99% of exotics, targeted loot
actually 66%
isnt targeted loot wony only?
TL is unlocked for all locations once you complete WONY.
do bosses have a chance to drop exotics without tl
Absolutely, TL is only a system that allows you to increase the likelihood of getting the drop you want.
do bosses drop specific exotics each or is it random?
Everything is random
^
Certain bosses have a higher likelihood of dropping specific Exotics, but yeah it's mostly just random.
But some can drop certain ones
is there a mission where you can get to the boss and kill him fast?
Lincoln has four. Can get it done fairly quickly.
WT5 level 30 has targetted loot
@quaint wind Exotics in Div2 aren't really what they are in other games, they're about on-par with High End (Gold) and Gearset pieces.
but some brands are missing cause they are locked to WONY so you are stuck with what was available during the campaign
i want chameleon
Do bounties
You could've worded that nicer, but yeah Spades is right in that case, the Named Enemy in Bounties (any Bounty) has a fairly high chance to drop a Chameleon.
to get another world tier i need to beat capital again?
can confirm i did 10 bounties yesterday and got 3 chameleons
stupid high drop rate
There is a pinned message in this channel with all the world tier requirements.
guys is there a way i could get alerted if there is a sale on the game?
From here probably not. You could probably set something up like getting an email from somewhere etc.
can you add it to your wishlist on a store page? That's what I usually do for PC (with eg Steam, Epic stores etc)
i use xbox
if i wishlist it do i get alerted
since im playing it sinve one my family members has the game on his acc
and im worried it doesnt show if it has a sale or not
that would depend on your alert settings, but I'd be surprised if it doesn't have an option
oke
if anyone is able to alert me if there is a sale soon please do since i might forget
Does VoIP work ? On console ?
I never seem to hear people nor don't know if people hear me when matchmaking mission
the ingame voice chat shares the same output as the game volume so its hard for them to tell if you are talking
especially when they got the sound effects really high and voice chat volume on the low side
What's DUA?
District Union Arena @narrow kraken
o I see thanks c:
So I did one run jefferson trade center for holster... Nothing as usual
But can I do the runs more often?
Yes, loot drops are random, so just have to keep at it
Tyx
Been trying to get the Coyote's Mask for a couple days now, farming summit and targeted loot with no luck :( any tips?
Thats 1 of the best places (CPS are also great)
^^
Try jefferson trade centre. The boss can drop it and its where I've had the most success with coyotes mask.
Where could I get the Mop shotgun I tried the summit from floor 30 to 60 on challenging/heroic but nothing is it just bad luck?
Try doing invaded missions on heroic if you haven’t cleared them yet
It rewards named items on completion for the first time on heroic
CPS?
I heard some time ago that Coyote's mask doesn't drop from Coyote anymore
Cps= control points.
Target loot, drops are just rng, so have to keep at it.
You heard wrong, she can drop it
Question! Dark Winter only drops on DZ, right?
Yes, that's the best place too.
can confirm she still drops the mask cause I just got it last night
there's a difference between not dropping (removed from loot pool) and not being lucky enough for the drop 🤣
Thank you, @foggy needle! Still going solo there is almost suicidal with TWO Manhunts around at this moment, so... I'll see what I can do later.
It does
Thank you, @narrow matrix! Yeah, I'm not doing Conflict yet and Names Caches have not been gracing me with the drop yet... HAHAHAHAHAHA! So I will keep trying on DZ, but I will need to find a group for it, 'cause there's an SMG Targeted Loot today on DZ East and everybody decided that DZ is the way to go today! Funny thing I got Lady Death on the first drop on the DZ today but not Dark Winter.
PS: I already had LD, so I was like... damn! XD
This is a quick evening everyone
hey saph
Heya!
Hey, Saph!
when modding my AR's mag should I go for 10% critdmg or +20 rounds?
+20 rounds
What should I run for high level dark zones?
Could you elaborate a little bit?
is the season pass worth it cause heard its on sale on epic games
nvm what i saw was the WONY year 2 pass
Basically, the "Season Pass" is free for everyone who owns WONY, the extra tier you get when you pay is just cosmetics+excess caches.
ooo so if i didnt bought wony i wont get any season pass then
Yep, can only access it when you're Lvl 40.
So I gotta question regarding Cassie. For me it says the vendor will be open in 19hrs. That's like 3 Am for me. So I was wondering how long is she open for?
IIRC it's 24hrs open, 36hrs closed.
So the vendor location that's currently visible (it says closed), will it reopen on the same spot or do I have to do the snitch thing again?
It should reset weekly, so right now I'd assume it'd be the same spot.
Yes it will reopen in the same spot. I had that happen a day or two ago.
Does converting a sweet dreams to a lullaby reroll it
I found a max sweet dreams I wanna rename
Yeah it re-rolls it, I'd suggest farming for another copy instead.
Hi guys i bought the base game from epic.
Can I rebuy the base+warlords dlc as its in offer now.
Does it affect my progress till now?
is getting higher score armor and weapons something like the destiny 2 system?
@quaint wind Nope, once you're at Lvl 40 (aka: having completed WONY), everything will be Lvl 40 from now on.
Thanks. I bought me base from epic. Now the bundle with base + dlc is much cheaper.
I just wanted to confirm if I buy this bundle will it cause any issues with my current progess.
Accounts will be linked, so it'll count as if you were still playing on the other.
Khool thanks.
Just an update : "Cannot avail this purchase,Offer doesnt allow to purchase for parially owned". 🥲
Are exos always the best? Especially for weapons?
Exotics in Div2 are on par with Gearset and High-end (Gold) gear, it all depends on the build.
@lavish blade I'm not really sure what that means, can you explain the issue to me in broader terms?
So i bought the base game from epic thinking i'll buy dlc later.
Now epic gives an offer of both Base+dlc in half price.
hence I asked whether it will give any issues.
I wnet to purchase , once in in the transaction screen epic games says Just an update : "Cannot avail the purchase.Offer doesnt allow to purchase for parially owned".
I think it translates, since ypu bought half the game, we cannot give you the whole game is lesser price than that. 😅🥲
for chameleon to drop i need to kill named enemies like John “something” something?
Targeted Loot AR. And chant my name while you kill whatever boss there is.
bounties will be faster
bounties have stupid high drop
Heroic bounties got me 3/10
when do u unlock heroic difficulty
when you feel you’re ready. same like getting married.
the South has entered the chat
you cant find the button to switch difficulty or you dont have a good enough build / enough skill to do it?
to get married? good.
getting mr.burns vibes from that
🤔 i do not recall Heroic being locked but i guess we have to wait for some experts
cant remember. am wondering is it after u finish in hard, then u’ll have the option for challenging, and so on for heroic.
It would make sense because if you can't clear hard, you definitely can't clear heroic
buy dlc
level 30s only have heroic available for invaded missions
will heroic still be available after i clear the invaded mission?
no hes saying only invaded missions are heroic difficulty
Anyone able to get ingame can you send me a screenshot for TL in DC and NY
for AR what should I go for ranger or optimist?
strained or fast hands
If you have more than like 3 red cores never optimist
how do u claim the completed projects
It should say whether it’s for the The Theater, Campus, etc. Go to the project manager where it says, and turn it in
im doing bounties and still no exotic
unlucky
F
Can anyone buy stuff from ingame store ?? It always says cannot proccess your payment
How do you matchmake open world , bounties etc so that I myself is the session owner instead of getting invites from others?
keep declining and eventually someone will join
its a coin flip
After I hit matchmake it changes my privacy settings to friends only automatically. Maybe they aren't getting mine?
🤔 ah console... uhh idk if its the same Eph can u take over
And what are SHD tech caches used for again? The orange icons on warlords map. I forgot lol
in WONY you can open special Caches at each Safe House, however if you collect all in DC + NYC, you'll still have some left over that can't currently be used for anything.
How do spec armor kit bonuses work with system corruption? Or... they actually don't?
I think system corruption overrides that armor kit thing.
Sadge(!)
sys corr removes your armor kits
no do not use it in summit lmao
Can i have different specialization lineups for every build?
Like for hunters fury smg ar shotgun and for one rifle ar and shotgun?
they dont save in loadouts like that if thats what youre asking
you cant have like firewall saved twice with different nodes
I hope they change it with the new system
i hope theres no more weapon damage nodes at all in the new system
They need to make it better for more build cuz now if u want to play skill dmg or heal u need to change that one every time
Lincoln Memorial has Mask targeted loot rn and I've been running it for a bit now trying to get the Coyote's Mask
Tardigrade has dropped three times in a row now :(
Heroic, 2 directives gonna put it up to 3 now
any tips?
AND I JUST GOT IT FROM AN EXOTIC CACHE LES GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Chill on the caps.
but grats.
lemme enjoy been at this for several days now :c
You're welcome to celebrate, but no one wants to be deaf from it :p
Coyotes is a very nice mask, make sure you get your crit on builds using it to a max of 50%, and enjoy that AR range!
Maybe one day we'll get a MMR movement exotic for those sweet scopeless matador builds 
an mmr movement exotic?
Some item that removes the massive spread on movement when not using a scope
If you are moderately active with a scopeless MMR, you'll notice the crosshair blooms a lot and takes some time to reset depending on how fast you were moving prior to aiming
the spread is the same with or without scope lol
So you can't really do a cover-to-cover and go guns blazing accurately
Yes, and I'm speaking of an exotic specifically to promote a scopeless playstyle for them by reducing that movement spread to the value other guns have
I think it'd be fun, considering how people don't really care much for taking the scope off or even using semi-autos
So you want an Exotic to help you run+gun with a weapon-type that's designed to sit and wait?
Yes, for the niche meme builds
And specifically without the usage of a scope to not have people doing the GTA Online strafe-dancing with snipers from a mile away
One could say it's a bit too specific, but we already have one that requires you to not move an inch to get a damage buff and another that just sets things on fire every now and then
i mean its a big part of balancing MMRs
An Exotic re-work is definitely on the cards I'd say. At least for certain ones that shall remain nameless.
you can already scopless run and gun on rifles
we all want all sorts of stuff
Actually, aren't the faster MMRs even extremely difficult to actually hit things with when operating near their fire rate?
I tried the SOCOM at range with a scope and magdumped, but the spread was just awful
TMI
its almost as if its intended
But why would they make a weapon that can't operate at its own fire rate?
Do people even use the semi-auto MMRs, or do they just skip to rifles because they can do exactly that?
AR but worse, Rifle but worse.
normally, you'd want to specialise.
it can operate, it shoots just fine doesnt it
theres just not much upside to semi mmrs atm
Until then I never really found a group of weapons I looked at and went "yeah, I'm just not using this at any point because it conflicts with itself to a point it doesn't work"
They could've made the stability rocket down with each shot in a magdump
Does the Vigilance buff go away if your shield is hit?
For me, that's auto-shotties unless maybe a Striker stacks builder.
perfect
Auto shotties are probably the only ones somewhat capable of working with gunner's signature ammo thing
thats pretty much what happens
The one where you just hold the trigger and kill stuff
I mean for shotguns that is true, but you could also just use an AR.
and look, it kills stuff further than 3ft away!
The accuracy also nosedives with it, which just means the player has to keep taking these more timed shots where then the SVD and above work better at
i mean it makes perfect sense that it goes down and that you need to time your shots better
Shotguns were a FEMALE DOG to me in the open world
But by timing my shots better, I tread on ground that another weapon covers better
I'd just use "pain" or "pita" instead of the other word.
less insta-deleting.
And to compare it with shotguns, at least if I get within three feet of an enemy, I know the shotgun will do what it should be doing
But if I dare put a scope on a semi-auto MMR and fire it close to its fire rate, it becomes unusable for sniping no matter how good I am at controlling the recoil
if only a stat designed to make guns handle better existed
Handling of weapon?
something like that yea
Too long
What are we, some kinda Weapon Efficiency?
Efficient in weaponry
You're right, it's Skill Handling, my b.
for reals, stacking on WH is super underrated for builds, once your base stats are in-place.
Then I'll grab my striker which is entirely filled with weapon handling and see if it mends the issue I was snarkily told it mends
Surely I'm just missing a crucial piece of the puzzle and semi-auto MMRs actually have none of the issues I'm describing
I'm curious, why are you trying to spam-fire with an MMR in div2?
that's just not a thing in this game.
Because the semi-auto ones have a high fire rate and the SVD in particular actually performs well at it
div2 is focused at least mostly around a certain amount of "realism", and MMRs just aren't designed for that.
yes thats exactly what people mean, go from one extreme to the other
I can't straight up magdump at its exact fire rate, but I can go close to that and as long as I control the recoil to hit the headshots, it's a really solid weapon
It's not meta or easy to use, but I could build something for it and it worked at it
you are firing a semi auto large caliber rifle, it obiously needs to have considerable recoil
I'm not talking about recoil, I'm talking about the accuracy, is it that hard to read?
especially if you spam it full rpm
It's the same reason you can't really snipe with shotguns. Or have the Nemesis on full-auto.
weapon balance.
I don't care if the gun kicks to the moon when magdumping, I just want it to hit somewhere close to where it' aiming at
no but is it hard to understand that accuracy probably suffers aswell if your gun is jumping all over? lol
I think I missed the real world part where guns have a variable deviation that's proportional to how many shots it has fired within a specific amount of time
no in real life you always hit what you are aiming at even if the gun is jumping out of your hands, youre right
The bullet goes where the barrel is pointing at
Well that's just not true.
Here I can keep the scope on target and the shots deviate a lot
im not sure you understand how weapons work
I’m sure he’s joking…I think.
Let me guess, I'm gonna get told about the standard deviation that I have mentioned a few seconds ago
I don't think so, Scorp.
you should probably be told about bullet load variation, temperature of the barrel, wind speed and direction, human error and etc
So what is the name of the effect that progressively increases a gun's deviation with each shot fired?
id love it if you went down to your local shooting range and said that to the instructor
The barrel heating up?
Oh, the barrel overheats to the point of complete innacuracy within a few shots?
Is this stuff about irl we’re talking about now.
They made a gun that is entirely incapable of a modicum of sustained fire within a single magazine?
i listed like 5 factors that all work in unison and youre strawmanning into a single point
i didnt think you were this dense
I'm sure the indoors range of the game has so much wind
I honestly lost track a while ago on what's a joke and what's not, but I think it's safe to assume that it's not worth reading.
Fair enough.
They have these weird industrial fans hidden behind fake concrete walls pushing my bullets in random directions

here you go mate, heres how real world accuracy stays exaclty on point
notice how she is aiming at the lake and always hits it
despite of the recoil, wow so accurate
This is a person whose weapon is wiggling around because she doesn't have enough stability to work a weapon like that in automatic fire
its insane to me that you have to be explain the concept of emulating real world phenomena in games
I’d just like to point out its extremely rare to use your weapon in full auto fire.
So what we do is pretty much super human.
It's insane to me that you can't even understand most of what I've been trying to say and constantly reply with a garbage attitude while dancing like you are completely right
you want your sniper to recoil up intensely at full RPM while maintaining laser like accuracy
The video in specific shows something that I have already stated I don't mind happening if I magdump the rifle
Your video doesn't address that claim
And I also have already said I don't mind it not being laser-accurate
its a random video demonstrating what happens when recoil gets out of control
I just want it to be somewhat usable like the SVD
newsflash, when you cant control the recoil you cant control the accuracy
You're using accuracy in the sense that it's a human error of not being able to hit the target, not some magical game bloom that makes a DMR unable to hit something at 50m if it fired like 5 shots in a row
if you fire 5 shots at full RPM in real life you arent hitting your target either
And that's in specific because of the lack of recoil control in the video, not because the gun itself magically gains an absurd amount of deviation
sure, and does your gun recoil in the game?
and do you control it perfectly?
simple yes or no
Actually yes, I keep it on the fucking target while it's deviating
so you perfectly keep an SVD with no handling on target at full RPM?
