all of them are pretty much good
so pick what you like
FAMAS is one of the best for example
I never often see a famas drop
thats just a psychological phenomenon
I xan craft a famas at 44.2k
the pool of stuff you want is always smaller than the pool of stuff you dont want
all famas have the same base damage
all weapons of the same type have the same base
Well, there is no AR loot allocations in DC at the moment so. Summit it is
And can't get fenris in DC at the moment. It's loot allocation is DZ west's dark zone
However Ceska is in the Fed Emergency bunker
summit is fine
i personally like farming anything that isnt summit but its personal choice
not because of drops but because i cant stand being in that office building
Honestly I understand that feel. The office is setting is...
Unsettling and makes you drained
Summit needs questions answered
Why is everything partially burned and dirty yet the desks are intact!
Weird take, if you wanna use OD as a gun build rather than abusing bleed capabilities... anything with a large magazine size is probably more preferable than anything else.
I get personally biased towards using the KSG shotgun and the Stoner LAMG.
abusing OD bleed capabilities is like abusing mcdonalds free ketchup capabilities by stealing tiny ketchup packets every week
We need an Eph quotes section added to the spreadsheet
My personal favorite is: "Nice now you can stand there and cosplay a brick wall a bit better"
rofl
Eph Shitposting connoisseur
XD
perfect credit
Eph I feel like is a father and we're all children that he has to deal with and help with our builds and everything
Exactly
nah im the weird uncle
sometimes I just want to call him daddy 😩
it's never too far
naw hes the dude you want to copy on the test
I got a question...
😳
Did you eat the hand sanitizer?
Is your rug adjusted
Did you sniff it?
mans gotta eat even if its quarantine
Thats not the worst thing I heard. This is what happens when xbox gives me a preset name and I never change it
then why does your breath smell of sanitizer
😳
i never trust those
I didn't at first, but now I just stuck with this. I've had this gamertag for 7 or 8 years now and still have the free name change lol
I don't know if he got the....point?
Lets be real, what else could anyone abuse OD for at this point
Well I mean, at low levels combining OD and Vile can melt through certain enemies
Does concussion talent increase weapon damage by 10% for 1.5 seconds per headshot or does it not stack?
For instance 3 headshots = 30% weapon damage for 1.5 seconds
it says ''headshots increase'' so it doesnt matter how many, its always 10%
tho it would be a nice way to buff the talent
Well I mean, I get OD is trash, but it's the special kind of trash. It's the Walmart clearance isle gear set that is useful, but only for a very short time. Then there's me. The person who's been rocking it since I first discovered gear sets over 2-3 years ago

Jesus your fast
Octal dump
fastest shitposter in the west
aren't u in the east
Would you guys like to hear about the morovian society?
sure
Actually, no
i am in what classifies as western society
if you go by greenwich meridian im neutral
"If not, then too bad I'm telling you anyway"
old OD was wacky and pretty bad, new OD is a bit better somehow but still not particularly good due to how bleed works
if they made bleed actually a good status OD would be quite a decent set
The morovain society is a hidden society that is just recently being discovered after being put in the game sometime during the black tusk invasion of Roosevelt Island. No one knows who they are, all they know is that they are obsessed with owls. The only person who had knowledge on them was Jupiter, who seemed worried at its discovery
Sorry, I'm invested in division 2 lore
Halp
Can you source that claim?
division lore that isnt main story lore is always good
"My source is I made it the #&$% up!"
I'm just kidding, but here
Bardon Schaffer is a great character
Indeed
Want me to dm you the source?
go ahead
My favorite character is Diesel because he gets called an inbred
oh that owl
Yeah
Jupiter knew about them, so it's possible they could be something from new York as well
Maybe that's were the next clue to the society is?
theres so many great voice lines
"Diesel? Are you dead too you inbred son of a &#%$@?"
That line
the feel the voices to the bodies sometimes dont make sense 😂
Coyote spitting FACTS
this is my top favorite personally
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFsUNMXcWVc
have you ever heard the true sons heavy weapons talk
Yup
that was great
LMFAO
Gotta give diesel credit though, that armored truck was annoying to deal with
I'll say it again, outcast tank should be referred to as Cistern
the coms are great fun
if you havent gotten them all
Boomer = black tusk tank
chunga = true sons tank
cistern = outcast tank
inbred = hyena tank
also the named mob cards from the snitch are super hilarious/creepy
I love how casually he says to get some poison to poison it
some are just weird af i read one where it said they made people eat feces or something
Ok, least favorite mission, go!
yea some are fucked up like that
Manning fucking Zoo
least favorite? DARPA no questions
any answer other than DARPA is objectively wrong
Oh yeah that one is pretty awful too-- I feel bad for the devs since it looked like they put a lot of effort into designing it
Ubisoft when thinking about how to make emiline more annoying to deal with
RAIL CAR
faye lau manhunt
I don't mind darpa, it really wasn't that bad
Thats where it's a problem
Also...is the bighorn worth it?
one of the flaws with that mission is the first room where the mortars activate, while you are waiting for the door to open you can get downed by the mortar during the animation
Me who loves AR and rifle builds
You wanna know what I hated. I hated kenly college
I hate Manny reminding me to go there every time I log on even more
Honestly, I feel like this is just me, I don't like the dark zones
kenly is cool
its just iff you do it right into world tier one Like I did it will be a pain
theres nothing buffing you other than adrenaline rush against the outcast rushers and tanks
I wish the DZ had more of an eerie feel to it like in Div1
I got all the loot, all the voice clips and whatever and I'm not going back. You will have to drag me there with enough firepower to level the new York financial district
Yeah, one thing that has bothered me. Is the fact ubisoft hasn't thought about trying to make a movie or TV show based on or around division. It would do so well with its concept
Wait they are making a movie I thought?
yea for ages now
If I remember correctly they will release that movie when the five nights at freddy movie comes out
Or better yet, when portal 3 comes out
portal
You saw nothing
its a pet peeve sorry
No worries. I make so many Grammer mistakes that I would probably trigger a English professor in the first sentence
grammar
Oh no...
its swapped vowels that get me
no other thing bothers me nearly as much
Momento 😎
aaaaaaaa its ROGUE
NOOOO
Federel emergenz buncker
Lore wise....is there anything specific? is looking through a bookshelf labeled "Division Lore"
Oh anything you find interesting or what not
Hmm....let's go with......a classic....the hunters....pulls out a book that's about as thin as a 50 BMG bullet
The hunters are a mysterious faction in the case that they never talk, only appear at both random and in certain steps. Have a habit for eliminating agents and taking their watches to tally their kills. Each has a unique mask to them and has access to SHD tech, who or what they are, remains a mystery to this day.
I was running a thought the other day that they're a failsafe for rogue agents
cause of the DZ
they use SHD skills and have proficiency with them far beyond the agent
far beyond ISAC even
Hunters usually work in the shadows and have reportedly been trained in guerilla warfare tactics. A user managed to get a look at a tattoo that all hunters share, the tattoo in question referring to an American military one, as to what it means is that they have some sort of military training and are more connected than originally thought. It's likely that they could be like the black tusk who manage to reverse engineer some tech and know it's inner workings. They could even be the 3rd wave. A wave that is used to wipe the remaining division agents off the map. However there isn't enough proof for any of these theories. It is clear that some follow orders as shown in Bardon Schaffers manhunt with the hunter who toys with the agent in coney Island when hunting Schaffer.
As to the motive, it's unclear, but a common theory is that they are first wave division agents that have went rogue. However nothing is solid and the evidence is wobbly at best
Best way to farm ceramics? I've looted the solar farm area already
Aside from SHD points and Solar ^
I mean I just do summit and put the targeted on chests or something and deconstruct along the way LOL. Sometimes I'll find a good piece that I want too
Never really had a problem with resources recently now that I think about it
I've made like 6 builds in the last week so I've run out of some :(
uhh so im doing the techinician field research and one of the objectives wants me to destroy emp pulse affected mini tanks, and uhh which one are mini tanks
The controllers for blacktusk
ohh ok
They are the small annoying turrets on tracks that usually either constantly shoot at you or do a sweep
You can find them quite commonly in....honestly anywhere. I'd just roam around in the region where tidal basin is. Your bound to run into some
alright thanks
I know how annoying tech challenges are. I just recently finished mine and honestly....it's somewhat worth
oh and this one objective says destroy drones or cars what does it mean by cars?
the little RC cars
Yeah, if it's drones focus black tusk as they can spawn 2 at a timr
If not, then hyena is the easiest for rc cars
Ohh ok
gosh darn it, i forgot i completed the invasion now theres no black tusk activities 😔
What do you need that for?
You can find both types of enemies out side of activities
Its just when theres an invasion theres way more black tusk in the potomac park area
What's a good way to get the Chill Out mask?
you cannot get it anymore unfortunately.
What? For real?
What do you have to do to get armor kits
Is there any specific action you need to take
Yeah it stopped dropping a couple weeks ago i'm afraid.
I don't think anything out of the ordinary, they might not drop if you have all your armor kits, only when you've used one or two up then they drop...I think.
theres specific boxes that drop them and a small chance for enemies to drop them
Ah I’m in the summit and getting hit pretty hard
I usually play with the hard to earn cause armor kits are decent to earn back
This lines up with what I’ve seen, thanks
they do drop when you have a full amount
theyre just rare
but i see them stay behind all the time as i clear rooms
@narrow matrix tip: when using hard to earn and no regen together you can switch between loadouts (the two loadouts need a different armor value) to regen without using an armor kit
Have to do that out of combat tho
Thanks I’ll keep this in mind
one up this and just change one of your gears regardless
can u recalibrate a weapon only once
Kinda. One attribute or talent per item, but that one you can re-roll to something else as often as you'd like
i messed up then
gg 😄
i have to do normal raid to get itens for bastiao project ?
Yeah, backpack and chest only have a chance to drop on your first run after reset on Iron Horse on normal
Ty
guys, can sheperding be done by 2 players? I mean i wanna try answer backup call while on group
you can't answer a call for backup while in a group, afaik. You can separately both answer the same call if you're in solo instances though.
Where do i actually respond to a backup call? I see the player who called it bottom right in the social-tab but nowhere to actually "help"
As long as you see the prompt in the bottom left, you can hold down M to respond to it right away. Alternatively, you can open up the map and travel to the call from there.
Addition: Open map and go to SHD tab. Or if you want to answer the call automatically go to Matchmake tab and choose Answer the Call //np: BSB - The Call
so regarding the gunner field research, the final one needs me to kill that one named tank in the roosevelt island, and it wants me to destroy its armor first, honestly i suck at doing that without accidentaly killing him so any advice?
Be very carefull, use foam and a pistol and very very carefully shoot each piece off
Getting a friend to blind/root him is a good way
@open maple if you’re still doing it, use a semi auto
A rifle would be preferable, I wouldn’t use the foam. Basically just kill all other enemies and use a turret to distract him
He will go aggro against the turret sometimes
But if he comes after you let him prepare to swing at you, then roll away you’ll have 1-2 seconds to shoot him before he recovers
I’d start with his shoulder pads, then his helmet because he sways a lot and you can accidentally kill him
Then go for his backpack, elbow pads, kneepads
Then go for his chest
If you go for the chest sooner than the other pieces you’ll have a big open target for your bullet to hit if you miss
If you have the shock trap that would work better than the foam imo
The foam will prevent you from shooting the foamed area
Make sure you have no crit chance
Or a very low amount
If using a rifle stack stability
thanks for all the advice
Afternoon Eph
Does damage bleed through the boss if you use a sniper?
Maybe the player could just line up strong shots
Why are the textures so messed up on division 2 rn? I'm on xbox btw.
is the off white chest glitched, i have 6/8 masks but only 5/8 keys
You on xbox one or series
its optimized for the series xbox's so on an xbox one it might begin to struggle
What's a good way to get electronics aside from Solar Farm?
I have no idea, i've been struggling to find some myself.
Is there a website of some sort to see what builds are good enough to run? Just a normal guide, brand new and want to run an assault rifle build but no idea what's good and / or what to keep. Youtube has some guides but everyone tells me not to trust those 🙂
YouTube has good builds, idk why people have a problem with it
Gotcha! Just scared im missing something new and obvious that isnt updated there, guessing there isnt a hub or a general site people use to see what's decent etc
Apparently Damage out of cover is great, and none of the youtube guides say that, stuff like that
Also you might find #td2-build-advice to be the better place to ask about builds
Health = 9.5% dmg to enemies with no armor / armor plating - although on warhounds it will deal a ton of damage once you break the armor plate
Armor = 6% dmg to enemies with armor / armor plating
Damage out of cover = 10% damage to all enemies not suppressed which is more common
if you find something that you want that has either of the 3 thats cool as well
dont need to go for Dttoc if you dont want to
mendoza opens in 36 mins
Dtooc is literally best in slot as targets are out of cover ~90% of the time.
Dta and dth are both just weaker compared to dtooc sadly
Also armor plating counts as health (not white armor, just plates like robots/ chungas)
Why is is so hard to find a Custom TDI Kard pistol?
I've done Summit targeted loot and DZ... nothing.
becuase you are looking in the wrong places
It's a DZ drop, and RNG like any other loot
Evening az got one in named cashe
named cache always includes DZ exclusive loots
DZ and Summit targeted pistol are the "wrong places"?
I bought the season pass and got dumped 4 of them
Anyone have an extra memento backpack to share? I've been farming for 3 month and still don't have the luck. My psn is the same as name
evening aspect
@merry tinsel You can only share items with other players if they were in your session when it dropped-- you can't just join someone and share an item
oh shit thanks
When do huntsman and titan get revealed for the manhunt?
should say in the season events menu if you take a look
Legendary floor 100 is how I got mine after farming for a few weeks
I didn’t even get it from a boss, just a random white tusk
Make sure you group up with 3 people so u get more hunters
Overload armaments have backpack? Farmed so many times getting all the armors except backpack
Every Brandset has all 6 pieces, it's just RNG.
Sad.
//np: Beyonce - Say My Name
Why there is no one in DZ ? I miss the old Div1 DZ battles...
Depends on the time for your region and whether the targeted loot for that DZ has increased chances to drop DZ exclusive items. For example, when targeted loot is something like Murakami, then players will come to farm Emperor's Guard and PvP players will capitalize on that and try to PvP. From my experience, when targeted loot is Providence for a DZ, there will guaranteed be PvP since people have an obsession over the named Providence bag, "The Gift"
Even now with Backpacks targeted in DZ West, you'll likely find players if it's an active time
But "battles" in Div1 are a lot different in Div2 🙂
I see, thank you!
so with that said If DZ west was Providence and DZ east was SMGs
would East be fairly less occupied with PVP oriented players then west?
Both would likely be fairly busy, lots of people want the Dark Winter as well as The Gift
Yeah it would probably be equal-- although if one was Occupied, then I think PvP players would prefer that
I mean invaded*
has the big update arrived yet ?
no, eta is still "later this year"
Does the naked talent transfer over to another weapon
Say if you hit an enemy with no armor then swap to mantis
no
The talents that show up on the weapon's side get canceled if you swap to another weapon, such as naked, close and personal, ignite, sadist and whatnot
Though there are weird cases like perpetuation showing as a character buff and going away if you swap out
It's also worth mentioning it doesn't apply to swapping to skills, or at the very least swapping to the chem launcher
IIRC most Weapon Talents are "while equipped" only, so yeah swapping would likely just negate the buff.
Which reminds me, Pestilence's DoT seems to work on swap
At the very least the icon doesn't go away, but I should get in the range to check if it's not a visual bug
Would be interesting to stack it on enemies and swap to something else
A DoT makes sense to still work, since that's how a Chem Launcher works and the game likely wouldn't differentiate between them.
It does I think
I'd just assume that unless a Talent specifically states swapping out as part of it, it probs won't work.
Now if only it worked for True Patriot's flagging 
I tried it with negotiators, marked enemies with smg then swapped to pestilance
Then would consistently swap back
I take it status can't crit?
Pest does work for raids, but there are better options.
also everything does armor damage FYI.
and weapon talents only work on weapon swap if it says so. only exception iirc is vindictive works on weapon swap once proced.
I was about to ask about a chest talent and then I saw the convo was about weapon talents
U can ask, you don’t have to follow the convo
yup can always ask 😛
No I was going to say that one chest talent that gives you different bonuses depending on what weapon combo you have was a weapon talent
ah
thats a backpack talent..
Evening AZ
back to the drawing board then 😎
Quick! Retreat to the spreadsheet!
you talking about versatile?
theres also gunslinger for chest
I'm thinking of making a build with versatile and gunslinger for fighting the hunters on floor 100
Ok, I want to know more about this topic. Rogue agent encounters. How exactly do I encounter them? The only time I have is a supply convoy to the campus settlement
just a random spawn
I guess, the game doesn't explain what. "Certain activities" it's referring to
If you want to “try” forcing their spawn, you can do Lincoln mission, clear that 1st area > open that 1st gate > they can spawn here > if they don’t, restart mission and try again. Boring AF though.
^ Easier and faster to do it in Summit, though
nope, summit is MUCH MUCH slower, then above
To spawn Rogues? Nope.
wait... acutally
hm....
does death re pop the zone, ie for chance at rogue spawn?
Get in lobby, get in elevator, wait for elevator doors to open, no audio cue > return to lobby, rinse & repeat
What are the ways to get SHD Calibration?
watch scavenging points, summit caches, optimization caches, crafting (if you have the blueprint)
would not recommend crafting if you're not big on farming resources
I've been running around with a friend these last couple of days rampaging through the CP's, and have had numerous rogue agent encounters. We also got one during a run of the wall street mission yesterday
Rogue encounters come with Challenging and above, there's a chance of them to occur after CPs and sometimes they will replace a room in a mission
We've been running on hard on the CP's, and we ran wall street on hard
Hell, I've had rogue agent encounters on Normal
one of which was not connected at all to any open world event or job, they just appeared and jumped me whilst just wandering around looking for loot and comms hunting
I've heard the "Rogue Agent detected" call a few times in the open world, but never saw them
I thought it was a bug
sometimes you have to look around a little bit to find them, and they'll de-spawn if you don't find them quickly enough
when you hear it, just stop what you're doing and look around.
they are often not in front of you but maybe a few feet away behind or off to one side
from what I have been told they have a 2 block radius from your position
i've memorized a couple of spots where i know to look for rogue agents if i get the audio cue, but the spawn points aren't within immediate sight, and i have to go over to the next block or so, yeah
try alley ways, random doors on buildings near cps
I once got jumped by a gang of them outside a safe house. Literally at the door to it
if i hear the audio cue, i'll usually stop what i'm doing and start randomly firing my weapon as i look around to try and attract them lol
I got the proc as I was just leaving it, and there they were in the road in front of me
I've had an outcast rusher chase me into a safehous...
and true sons literally fighting other factions outside of it in southwest and constitution hall
Yeah southwest is a nightmare for having fights break out on the road outside the door to the safehouse
Southwest is a nightmare territory in general to me, Rayburn house with the EMP during bounties isn’t fun and not to mention the distance between stuff is quite far, with minimal variation in spawns
they're all always in the resources nodes when that's the case
What should I do to prepare myself for a raid? Because I want to get the eagle bearer but realizing that I have to do a raid, which I don't know how to do a raid. Or what builds I should be using.
Because I really want to get that gun.
Like could I get carried in one lol
build advice spreadsheet has it all
Oh, ok.
Has all the nice guides there
If I create a new character, will I have access to the seasonal skill variations if I had unlocked them on an old character?
Nope
Dang, is there a way to get the variations if the season has already passed? I didn't manage to get the season 1/5 skill
Yes, unlock the mission for them viva season track
Oh cool, thanks!
Quick question! The Ironworks materials from the Iron Horse raid do drop in Normal version AND Discovery? Or is only on Normal?
All Raid exclusives only drop on normal mode
Damn! I still need five Ironworks, which I must assume drop with each boss, so that means I need to put down Gray, FINISH the project and then get all the pieces (except Gray's?) for Regulus and wait for next week for reset so I can take Gray's weapon piece.
If you have an alt, try farming for the ironworks mats with that and sharing then run again with your main once you've donated them
Brand new to the game and wondering what global event vendor does and how i acquire the currency to buy
Are you lvl 40 yet?
Yes sir
Go to the seasons menu, scroll left until you get to the global event (Polarity Switch) and activate it, then you get the 'currency' (stars) by doing challenges and gaining levels
Just take the time to read the event details or you'll be wondering why you're doing barely any damage...
I'd recommend a skill build if you want a easier time during the event
Or just run two main weapons and switch as necessary
Sniping works too as is easy to take time to pick your targets
I finished the entire thing in 2 hours no flex 😎
hey guys, so i recently got the techinician specialization and i need to grind some technician points any advice on grinding technician points?
for CP's any difficulty works or is it only for heroics?
Bounties
Some offer 3-5
Dz landmarks / resource convoys when you reach field proficiency you get 3 spec points
alright
Invaded missions offer 3 as well + a light zone named item on heroic on first completion
Also just to clarifying reaching field proficiency will give you 3 points in general but I find those to be the fastest ways to level up
went through pain on lincoln memorial on heroic and invaded only to get glory daze which is good? or bad
i forget how do we get class points.
nvm looks like it was recently asked and aswered.
It’s rng what it will give you. The gun itself is good, the talent, only if you’re using status effects or running a status build
elites are the yellow named enemies correct?
uhh yes yellow without names
Normal - Red
Veteran - Purple
Elite - Yellow
Named - Named with a Golden-like label
would be nice if named also counted as elites, would make this resistance mod i have more usefull
Balance be balancing.
so iron work mats are given after completion or do you get them from killed enemies/ boxs.
Boss or key box loot, can't remember which but it's first run only and only on Normal difficulty
the raid can have higher difficulties, thought it was just always hardest. lol
no just normal and discovery modes for raids.
ok lol. thats what i thought.
Is there a faster and surefire way to get the SHD calibration blueprint bundle or do i just have to keep doing summit and control points till i drop..?
Unfortunately you gotta grind
It would be nice if DZ landmarks gave blueprints on completion
Anything challenging or heroic
Exactly
They don’t take too long
Yeah i just set my map on heroic since i got to lvl 40. Its a pain with my shit gear but i hope I'll get it soon
go FMJ or do a tank build
Whats FMJ...?
#td2-build-advice > 📌 pinned-message > spreadsheet > Builds > Full Meta Jacket.
It'll take you a while to put together, so it's worth making a quicker build from that list in the meantime.
is there a cap on how fast skills can recharge, im worried i have too much skill haste and i wouldnt want to waste an attribute if they cant get any faster than they already are.
yes, for most skills its 10s cooldown at lowest, but kinda un reachable in good builds.
It increases the healing done by skills that repair.
does it also speed up revives perhaps?
Naw
Only Fixer Drone, Chem Launcher, Restorer Hive, and Mender Seeker are affected.
well healing seems useless, usually when i die its cause of a one shot and there is no healing time.
That almost sounds like you are either exposed for too long, or need better positioning tbh...
well its mostly the runner bombs that will get me.
oh, suicide bombers from outcasts?
yea, or sniper rogues as im peeking in a room to find a place to set up.
If you want burst healing, then you only get that from running repair skills or % armor on kill.
I dont think burst healing is going to help against Suicide runners... maaaybe the sniper it can.
If you want some self healing on a red dps build, then % armor on kill, repair hive or repair chem are your best options. Repair drone is just garbo and not enough healing to be meaningful.
Clutch is also an okay talent if you're running a crit build, but its not the best
Clutch is currently a bad talent because it gives up your talent for it. and its a weak payoff.
repair drone is complete garbo tbh, much better off going what i said above.
Clutch + entrench… don’t they only work below a percentage
Meaning most of the time it’s not working
still bad
Clutch + entrench are bad because of what you give up for such a minor effect.
armor kits are normally enough and if you need more, then there are better options above ^^
Bloodsucker (if playing solo) is excellent if you need a bit more tankyness
Bloodsucker, now THAT is a strong option.
just dont run glass cannon with it!
yup, dont
What am i missing in regards of "Dmg" on weapons, I've got 2 identical stats on 2 different weapons, FAMAS and FAL, and the Dmg on the fal is almost 20k higher but apparently the Famas is supposed to be way better, is the dmg just per shot, and not DPS?
So the actual "dmg" on the wpn isnt super important since it'll be maxed in "AR-damage" anyway, or am i incorrect?
The damage listed on the weapon shows the bullet damage (not dps), counting your builds + weapon damage stat. bullet damage is only 1 factor in terms of what matters.
correct.
To add to what azur said, all weapons of the same type, ie all Famas or all FALs have the same base damage, the variance comes from the rolls you get, the 15% wd on the weapon is what will make the number on 2 of the same weapon different
What is the best exotic(weapon)
Can I get eagle bearer from targetted loot
scorpio and no eagle bearer is a raid exclusive.
actually regulus or scorpio are the best IMHO.
imho?
imho= in my honest opinion
i can get scorpio from tl right?
that one yea
and for pvp?
Pvp is mostly eagle bearer and lady death
what makes scorpio good
All exotics are in the normal target loot pool except:
--- Raid exotics and Big horn are exclusive to their content.
---Crafted exotics require owning the blueprint 1st.
the easy lock down it can do.
When you use it youl imediately know
Wondering if anyone can help, used to play DIV1 and just started DIV2 but wanna push to end game. (That's where I enjoy the game) is the warloards 30 boost worth doing?
yes, but doing the boost locks you out of a few achievements, but if you dont care about that, then go for it.
TBH no point in rushing to the "new end game stuff" if you are new, because the entire game is new to you.
There's really no need to multi-post that question, Everyone can see all the chats.
Is DH meant to stand for dark hours?
DH = Dark Hours
IH - Iron Horse.
k thx
i wanna max the season pass what is the best way to farm xp?
The mathematically best way is Heroic Convoys with max Directives,
however, that'll make you wanna delete the game.
Doing about anything will help bump it up, I suggest the GE/League right now.
DZ landmarks are fun
They are quick given the right build
then u get ganged by a bunch of firewall spec users that have eagle bearer and hive
And it gives you EXP at a good rate
usually they camp around checkpoints
Go to a place where they are not
So to get the eagle bearer, I can only get it once a week?
You have a chance to get it from the final chest of Dark Hours, which requires you to have all keys, which you can only get once a week
At this point if you're raiding from LFG channels, so many people already have EB that they'll drop it for you if they get it
Oh shiit.
So I didn't get it this time, so I guess I will just ask the people who already have it, if they can give it to me.
you can farm the last boss 5 times over and over to keep opening the box
last boss always drops a key
Okay so I guess I'll join another raid, ask if someone already has the Eb to give it to me.
did the gunner field research quests change?
not since at least WONY launch (so same for 2 years now )
Can I get the EB even after doing the raid after the weekly 6 day thing.
eagle bearer doesnt have a weekly 6 day thing. just RNG from DH.
best chance is 10% chance from end box
Oh, ok.
10% is actually kinda nuts
So 2% from the bosses, right?
huh
2% drop rate.
drop rate from the bosses isnt known
unless someone's went and found the drop rates, doubt it
But of course, you can get EB from bosses, right?
you can, yes
Alright, good to know.
I just googled it, apparently its a 1% chance from bosses.
But idk
So if it is 1% and there's like what 4 bosses? Then it's like a 4% chance lol.
The drop rate sits somewhere between your next drop and never
Some people got like 3 of em and decided to give it away.
So I got my hands on one. Only 3 hours of grinding for it
Will all exotics drop in targeted loot pools?
no
some need to be crafted and some are raid / project locked
EB, ravenous, regulus, all need to be found in their respective raids
dodge city, chatterbox, ridgeways pride, nemesis, liberty, all need to be crafted
ok cool, good to know thank you!
frankly do the season pass events
the league gives out a ton of xp if you reach max tier for each one of em
u can find the crafted ones in the target loot pool if u have the blueprint tho sorry forgot to mention that
Just got to wt4 last night. Gear score up to 438. And I played that little underground mission that pops up by the White House at the beginning of wt4. Problem is... It's not offering me the invaded strongholds to progress towards wt5. Anyone know what I'm missing?
...
the side mission... isn't that unlocked after you clear the 3 strongholds and make your way to tidal basin?
after that mission should be tidal basin
Haven't you already cleared the other 3
I literally got to wt4 and then did that side mission lol... Maybe it's shortened up the process or something?
I cleared em, but in wt2 and wt3
WT5 is manning zoo, camp white oak, pentagon, darpa and coney island
then the invaded missions for manning and camp white oak
if you stay around for the rotation
Hmm. I'm in wt4 now, trying to get to wt5. The pin says I have to beat the 3 invaded strongholds and then Tidal Basin.
hmm
mind dming me a pic of ur map?
If you cleared the strongholds u should be able to do tidal basin
what does it say over the requirements for tidal basin
just hover over it it will tell u
It says it's unlocked. I guess I'm good to run it. Figured I had to run the 3 strongholds one more time from the pin. But good to know!
nah haha once you clear anything once throughout the world tiers your progress towards WT5 / no boost WONY will be clear
just to be clear btw I don't think u need to do the invaded missions of camp white oak or manning zoo to progress to WONY without boost but hopefully someone else might have that info
Awesome thank you
what does the global difficulty do? does it give me like better weapons?
Like how you would change difficulty of a mission. It applies that to the whole world. So free roaming would match the difficulty you chose.
what about the weapons that drop when im in the respective difficulties? would it depend on my level?
The greater the difficulty the better chance you have at finding better loot.
So weapons might come with higher stats, and maybe even a god roll here and there if you’re lucky.
I hope I explained everything properly lol.
difficulty makes items drop with higher minimum rolls so youl on average see better items
haha don't worry, you did. Thanks a lot you 2
so for the Polarity switch event, does it also apply to skills or?
Skills remain unaffected however your spec weapon is under the event effect
Where do I farm material for optimaze things?
If you look at the materials tab of the optimisation table in game it tells you where to find them
Are world tiers still a thing? Thought it was just the difficulties that mattered, what does world tier actually do?
I'm psure they only matter if you dont have the expansion
They only exist at level 30, basically the last bit of story mode if you don't have the dlc
I've considered world tiers basically a difficulty increase It's easier to play with little punishment for messing up on Tier one compared to tier 5
alongside that each Tier has it's gear score pool meaning if you play teir one almost always you'll only get gear best for teir 1 and 2 as in teirs 1 2 and 3 will never drop gear score 500 items if I'm remembering correctly
Manhunt doubt.
Does Luna Coney Island unlock after you complete the summit objective??
I cant see it in my map
they won't they drop gear that goes up to the highest gear score for their threshold
its only harder if you try to go in without picking up a few pieces of gear in each world tier, you'll need to change weapons and the best thing to do is run red cores since those won't change
but the armor will
ive unlocked the faye lau manhunt mission from the season pass rewards, how do i access it?
fast travel to camp white oak
then press and hold triangle to toggle mission mode - faye lau manhunt
make sure you have a sedative nearby, you'll be tearing your hair out!
Yes it should
Yep, once it's unlocked, you've got it for good.
Note: you have to have completed the base Camp White Oak mission before, if it doesn't work then re-run it before trying what Arrow said.
sounds fun, my walls will have a redecoration called holes!
Not really sure what you mean by that, it's probably the fastest Manhunt to complete, going by difficulty and map-size.
It's no "first run of Hornet", that's for sure.
oh well thank goodness for that and btw is there any point to grinding faye lau? or is it just for the experience
or manhunt missions in general
Well you can re-do the Manhunt final mission to farm out the comms they drop, but that's about it.
oh i see
unfortunately it won't give you missing comms that only drop from the build-up missions though.
well never done the faye lau manhunt mission, maybe ill do it for the experience
And the Achilles Pulse.
oh wait ill still get it?
oh thats nice i though i would only get it if its the season
i cant pulse a shield?
You guys still remember what each manhunt target gave as a reward? I know faye lau gives achilles pulse and hornet the repair trap but i forgot the rest
what DZ has more ppl in it
EMP Sticky was Roosevelt, and Coney Island was the Shrapnel Trap.
Yesterday I speed ran from world Tier 1 to world tier 4 and I’ll probably get 5 in a little bit when I get on. I have about 290 gear score, what are the best ways to get better gear?
Also, are alert level 4 control points worth it or is alert level 3 enough?
That depends, are you planning on getting the DLC/already have it?
No i do not, and I don’t really plan on getting it.
Fair warning: the WONY Expansion is basically the "second half" of Div2.
It's massive, and most of the cool stuff ingame is part of it. (also often goes on sale for 75% off)
and as an added bonus: Gearscore is removed forever, and everything is Lvl 40.
Thank you so much, I’ll keep that in mind.
you should get the DLC
Afternoon Kettle
Hey saph
how to get the hunter killer?
It's locked to the WONY Hunter chest.
so you've got to collect all 8 off-white Keys from the Hunter encounters and then deliver them to the Cache near Kelso downstairs at Haven.
hunter encounters?
theres puzzles u need to do to engage the hunter
Hidden throughout DC and NYC, there's a series of hidden "boss" encounters that require puzzles to activate.
There's some good guides online how to do them, but first you're going to need to complete a side mission in DC called "Agent Edwards".
the one where i check the notes?
Uh not from what I remember, you're investigating an SHD signal.
It's in Downtown East, kinda near The Theatre Settlement.
I'll DM you the location.
Oh, well that's a real bummer.
It's a fun mission, good intro to probably the most interesting "Faction".
that mission was cool
scary af
I thought my PS4 got fried the first time I did it cause of what happens 😂
Stuff like this is why I always say do it slow your first time.
The WW2 outfit is another cool one, same as the first time you see Black Tusk in DC.
I was like yoo where did the mission go
A few of my friends and I almost killed one of those hunters but I guess they are hard coded to escape
If you're referring to the NPCs that kinda just watch you then run away, those are known as "Stalkers" and are not actually Hunters, or at least not the ones that give Keys.
e.g. the real Hunters require puzzles to activate. One of the simplest ones is you have to shoot a series of targets in order on the side of a specific building.
The 'real' hunters from the puzzles will also run away if you stop damaging them for long enough, though
I've legit never had that happen, I'd forgotten it was a thing.
I guess you could run out of ammo or something.
If you spend too long fending off their skills, trying to heal etc, it can happen
Or if there's multiple hunters and you're all focused on one
The 1 at the Washington monument is the biggest pain in the azzz
I've always wondered if they changed Ghost's Hunt, I recall back in 2019 having to 1-shot them or lose, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
You are correct
An odd mercy, considering Neurotic is a thing.
Does anyone know the default brightness and contrast settings? I don't wanna reset to defaults since I have other things changed in that category
I'd open to check but I've modified mine.
If it helps, normally the middle of a line is where a game defaults to for Settings.
50% for both
i dunno; the one in southwest where you have to salute at the memorial hasn't ever worked for me (and i'm still stuck at 7/8 ivory keys because of it)
Are you shooting out the light first, then standing out of the water+behind the flag?
Can be kinda touchy.
yeah, i did all of that and never got it to proc properly
did a lot of minute adjustments to where i was standing, too
i just chalked it up to "this game is dumb sometimes" after a point
It may have to be done after 21:00 ingame time, a lot of the Hunters are night only.
I have two stars nearly to godroll on an item.
Can I optimize TWO stats or only one?
whats special about the dz?
Dying badly
There’s exclusive named items with really good talents or attributes locked to dz
It’s a pvp environment
So you’re not gunna get much farming done
you can optimize all the stats, but only 1 at a time.
Thanks
Anyone here know anywhere I can take out 2 rogue agents?
I'd say Tower or bank vault mission. am having trouble with getting em to spawn in bank vault and i don't have a group to do Summit with.
how do i use referrall in console it wont work for me
even tho i bought the game and linked a ubi acc
you don't need a group, you can run summit and just repeatedly jump from lobby to your checkpoint & back until you get the rogue music. Run a turret/drone skill build to easily take them down solo
(won't work if your checkpoint is a boss floor though)
Oh?
You know the manhunt missions hit the control points repeatedly or the missions connected to termite or Luna those have a better chance at spawning rouges in my opinion
can someone please tell me i tried figuring it out for a while
Alt account?
The trip, lucky, veil, paranoid, if you messed up in the apartment section do you have to go back and shoot the stars again?
Where can I find the loot pool for legacy season caches?
Tried searching it, but it's only showing results for some legacy apparel caches
its the 4 sets from each of the seasons and the named items from the passes
tyty
Trying to farm for my dps build, what’s a good set of talents to aim for?
Obliterate, glass cannon, vigilance, I’ll argue versatile if you’re running rifles and smgs or shotguns but others may disagree
Focus
Composure, companion and spark also can work
versatile is hard to run well, you wouldnt really run shotguns with a normal dps set, even smgs is pushing it
does versatile need the 2 from each buff category to gain the buff btw
like smg paired with shotgun to get 35%
or can you run the smg with rifle for their respective 35%?
The reason why I think it can be a good idea is if u run scorpio
Evening Eph
Hey saph
Hello, how do I make a build and know what to build?
go into the pinned messages and read the guide
Question, when you apply a dmg debuff(pestilence, vile) to an armor plated enemy(chungus, dogs) does the dmg go straight for the health bar or does it go for plates first?
Plates then armor bar then health, dogs don't have armor bar, their health is just health after their plate
nope
its my first time getting division 2 im lvl 30 and finished dc
and wanted to try referral
it says im not eligible
Can someone check and tell me if Cassie's shop is open at the moment?
Cause the referral needs to be done with someone who’s brand new, never played division before
You need to send them a link or make an alt account and do this
I’m not sure then
i think its a glitch not sure tho wanted to check
Contact Ubisoft
oke
As with 90% of loot in div2:
Targeted Loot: [Mask] +Directives, Challenging or above.
How many directives should I put on?
Start with 1, then build up to it. Most players I've seen end on about 3-4.
A lot of it depends on your build, if you're running solo, etc.
Start with Fog of War
Guys, what are your go to skills for Heroic Bounties?
They're always open mate, just gotta find the snitch first
I can't defeat these 3 MF that blow me away like crazy with their Grenade Launchers, then one of them throws some cluster of sticky grenades, and the 3rd guy just keeps moving around trying to smack me.
Frankly depends on where the bounty is. There's like one area that is fully indoor and the height is like 1.5x your agents height, I use my demo build for that in group
Not always open. Every other day. Wed, Fri, Sun
If all else fail use sniper
Sniper is useless, even with stats for damage against armor.
Or the full meta jacket
Ah my boy that's where you underestimate them
If they don't have helmet they won't have a head, simply put
The problem I seem to have is the named enemies have many supporting elite enemies that flank quickly.
I think 2 of them have helmets..
I understand the power of the Sniper but even with a Tac 50 I couldn't do much.
I'll try with the Crossbow tomorrow.
One guy is Zola.. I think.
Up next in TD2 sniping lesson: target selection
But again if you want tried and true the full meta jacket would get the work done
I don't have that, unfortunately.
I managed to finish 2 of them on my 3rd try but died when the last guy flanked me out of nowhere!!
😫
Im gomn try Hollow Point ammo and see if that helps shred the sidekicks faster.
Thanks for the suggestions.
🤙🏻
I have a assault turret + drone build blueprint tbf
3 empress and 2 hana and force multiplier (skill damage + haste). 1R 5Y with technician, weapons are either perfectly in sync + capacitor
honesty heroic bounties are a breeze for me only times i die is when i somehow lose braincells and do something stupid
something like the capacitor can help
Yeh
I don't have that either..
go do summit
I can't.
u dont have the WONY dlc?
Nope.
Mortar is kinda hard on armor plates lol
oh well
Hmm..
is rigger set WONY or not?
Maybe I'll use the artillery Turret.
Rigger is WONY only.
ah thats a shame
I never give up on challenges so I'm going to get back in tomorrow and wreck em!
👊🏻
Always keep trying
Absolutely. 🤙🏻
Almost got them.. The last named guy finished me off.
It's difficult to dodge all the grenades and mines they keep spamming.
uhh what faction is your bounty?
im guessing from what you're saying theyre black tusk
Possibly.. Yea.. 🤔
black tusk sure do love flanking no matter if theyre rushers or assaults
Is empress wony only tho lmao
i think so
There's a Tank - he has a Grenade Launcher, then one woman has a sniper, she never comes close, and then the 3rd guy has.. I think a shotgun? I forgot.
Yeah
Oh then true sons then
Grenade launcher heavies are of true sons
True Sons Chungas hurt
doesnt hurt as much as when i fight sniper warhounds 😔
Bloody guy keeps repairing his armor if I let him.
Also, there's a guy that keeps running around reviving everyone. Damn pos.. 🤣
I gotta make sure to finish that guy first.
Ah yes the medique
is it just me or have i rarely seen a true sons medic ever revive anyone
I always make sure to finish them off but I sometimes forget they can be part of the bounty group.
Or sometimes the Drone does the reviving.
wait drone? i dont recall a true sons medic can deploy a drone
maybe its because hes named
No I mean in general.
oh ok
So many types of things to look out for in a fight.
Give em enough time and they will lol
thats why skill builds are pretty nice
I never like to give anyone any leeway, ever. 🤣
you dont need to focus on one person, because ur skills can take care of the rest 👍
I go all out!
Last thing you want is a red medic revived the named enemy
ngl thats not a problem since wont the named enemy just have its health?
since its a red medic and not a elite
Yeah but he gets to repair his shield then.. Right?
oh yea true
That's what I was trying to do but my Drone is useless.. I think I'll use the Hive.
Seekers take too long to refill.
still prefer drone and turrets just use some Hana-U pieces and make sure you're at tier 6
focus on skill haste and skill dmg
so even when ur drone gets taken out
you'll have it back in no time
No wony mate remember that lol
hard wired would like to have a word
the artillery turret- bomber- will it auto shoot or do i have to command every shot.
Command
don’t blow yourself up
and gunslinger passive, does it increase only pistols or also my backup boom stick
only pistols
sadd.
Afternoon AZ
Why can't I find the amount of raids I made?
I just finished the WoNY campaign, is there an efficient way to farm loot in the summit?
is angel mask nyc dlc only?
Yep.
The original 12 Hunter Masks are the only ones that are available without the WONY DLC, the next 12 require it.
Keep an eye out for 75% off.
gl Agent 
another question is the momento nyc only also?
The Memento @umbral lantern I'm not 100% I'm trying to remember when I picked up mine
Since you just got to level 40 you’ve got 2 options,
Set the difficulty to challenging and try clearing it yourself or matchmaking
Or set it to heroic and definitely matchmake
Heroic will give you better drops but it’ll be difficult for your first 100 shd levels or so till you get the right gear / playstyle
I’d start by buying a gun from any of the vendors, whatever catches your eye
Make sure to set your targeted loot yo whatever you wanna find, up on dpad in summit when u open map
its ok
the issue i cant find anything abt do you need the dlc or not
Farm Backpack loot, summit is a quicker way, however I believe summit requires Warlords story completion, otherwise farm high level control points, with backpack loot, until RNGeezus graces your presence
oke thanks!
Alr, tysm!
Do I need to have directives?
Ideal farming is Highest difficulty with the most directives you can still speed clear at (challenging min).
Since you’re just making a set to get you through endgame I’d say just a few such as fog of war
You can push them up once you have something and figure out what you want to start building
Or you can run as many as you want, it doesn’t really make it harder just changes the way you have to play
I recommend a hunters fury build or simple skill build
@slender marlin >> Incorrect, it increases chance at target loot everywhere (not just summit).
Tysm for the help!
What's a good SMG for hunter's fury?
MPX or CMMG Banshee
Ty!
with the added health bar and rager bar on top 🤣
Lol when the named enemy is revived and starts spamming drones, turrets, and armor kits 😂
They go into overcharge 😂
At that point the I decide to put another mag into them. JUST FOR GOOD MEASURE
is invisible hand a good ar?
Sadly no, Aug AR recoil is highly RNG 😩
You mean scam caches? Yeah get those
Not just named, optimization caches are great too
scam caches. More in stock is better safe than sorry
I think there's also recal caches too if you're short on mats
If I'm looking for max critical dmg gear what should I put as my targeted loot
farm providence till u get high rolls even if their not 100% max u can still work with them
Depends on the rest of your build/what you're going for lol
4 piece striker
But I need max critical dmg on them
Wait so put Striker as targeted
Like you can't target attributes lol
If only 😔
How do I get maxed out gear mods to drop
Thanks for the suggestions, anyway. 🤙🏻
Darnit! Haven't got the set yet.
@open maple The bounty is Hayes Platoon. Sergeant Noth is the Tank, Sergeant Olson got the Marksman Rifle & Sergeant Costa is holding a pistol.
They are True Sons & they're near the Constitution Hall.
I'm going in!
good luck

Agent vital signs: 0
Agent deceased
refer to our good friend the RNG
I assume the chances are higher with heroic difficulty and directives active?
Legendary summit, target loot gear mods, as many directives as you can reasonably handle
Directives only help when it's the right target loot
And heroic will get you max rolled ones in most cases, just a bit less often than legendary
difficulty affects minimum rolls, in summit directives affect amount dropped
Directives affect the number of drops everywhere else, too: not just summit
i only use like at most 1 world directive lol so I never noticed
about the waveform exotic holster, is it a dz exclusive exotic or can i get it from targeted loot?
its a world drop, so farm targeted loot.
also FYI the pinned spreadsheet lists were all the unique items drop. pinned in #td2-build-advice
oh sorry shouldve looked there but thanks for telling me
no, no problem buddy. 👍
that and for DZ named items
Named caches + optimization caches are the 2 best items to buy from it.
And since Opti Caches are 12 stars, while Named Caches are 8, it's a good trade-off.
Morning AZ
@narrow kraken read the rules buddy.
Anyone?
no, have to unlock it viva season track 1st like level 60ish or something
wait.... nm shes not a manhunt mission
Coney island is already unlocked once you reach end game. just travel to it viva map > island is up top in DC > travel.
does in sync work when u take out your crusader shield?
yes that procs the skill buff part for 5 secs, and have to redo it each time
is the momento nyc dlc only?
yes
oh and 1 more q what does endorsing do
all the new stuff is DLC only
endorsing just gives the Shepard helper points. Shepard ranks have a badge too.
oh ok
Memento
Yep, you can only get it viva having WONY.
Viva 🕺
Why can't I see Cassie's inventory when I visit her?
It shows a blank page under the Buy tab
Might be closed
Nah, it's open. For another 21 hours at least
that's a bug that's been around for a while
How do I fix it?
not sure if there's any easy fix though
sometimes she just bugs out, try fast traveling away and walking back. or try logging out/in. I've had that happen a few time myself, revisiting cleared it but took a few tries.
Gotcha.
doing a nearby event helps fix it too.
sadly yes on ps4. best to use #lfg-playstation for legendary.
challenging and heroic are more active.
Ok because i tried finding her and going to her on a different character didn't fix the issue
will try doing an event and if it dont work then i might join someone else's world and do that
Relog also fixes it, but need to re find snitch
Which brand are contractor gloves?
Petrov
I did relog. Multiple times. Why should I find the snitch if I already have the location for Cassie?
Also check out the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice, that'll help you too.
If the location already shows on the map, NM then. I couldn't remember if relogging clears her spot.
👍
do i stick with the chameleon or the merciless
both are my faves i cant decide tho
i accept recommendations of other exotcis in dc tho
merciless is sadly garbo atm, fun weapon though. chameleon is strong but can be annoying. best in a CQB build.
ig i will still with the chameleon for now thanks!
Exotics are mostly “for fun items” except for a select few. They can still be good/ decent if built correctly but normally a high end item is still better.
I mean chatterbox is fun
Depends really. For fun I recommend all of them. If after just the good ones then its just (off the top of my head)
armor: dodge city, coyotes, Vile, memento, btsu and
Weapons: chameleon, capacitor, Pest, Rav, either sniper, either pistol + scorpio.
yea
just dodge city
FYI The good DC weapon exotics: chameleon, Pest, Rav, Nemesis, either pistol.
first time knowing the ravine and pest are dc weapons
which gear do i add them to
like btsu or dodge city
you mean what build?
hmmmm im actually not sure what the DC build would be, DLC has important items.
yea sadly
oh thats easy, Negotiators dilemma gear set with 2 providence as chest and backpack.
oke
and what weapons?
in your opnion
opinion*
And sorry for asking too much questions
oke!
