Call for backup pulls people looking to join anything
Matchmake can be just a single mission or something else
yeahp, anyone can answer the 'distress', its pretty cool
Yeah I remember that from back in the day, Im not picky about activities Im just wanting to run around mindlessly with people
if youre not finding people matchmaking, starting backup call/sending it out is great you will find people
Do you want to be the one leading those activities or do you not care and just wanna play ina group
i dont think i can crossplay sir
Cause in that case you can answer the call yourself
but i would play with any agent
true - thats a good point, again, as long as your world is set to heroic you should get players joining you
awesome
@night anvil One small thing, "call for backup" works one at a time, so you'll need to call again if you want more ppl.
Is there a way to answer calls for backup without them just showing up? Like can i just opt in to join people or something
Matchmake menu > answer the call
Does doing each manhunt bounty for the targets (Luna, Termite, etc) during their league give extra rewards?
I've been saving them
can someone help me neutralize ballisik armour ive been trying for ages
just use a pistol
the way to do it is you need a rifle with all stability mods - no crit chance - start by taking out all of the enemies, you can use a shock trap and the tamper proof talent for the turret which you can throw down to shock him in place, use a sniper turret so it doesn't shoot him (he will draw aggro to the turret). If you have flashbang grenades this also helps. Start by taking out his shoulder pads, then his helmet, then go for his elbow pads, kneepads, backpack and finally chest piece (in this order) it prevents you from accidentally killing him...
if you don't have any of the above or don't feel like going through the hassle, let him prepare to swing at you, then roll away, he will stumble and you will have a few seconds to shoot
I used a SIG 716 when I did it
so any rifle with fast fire rate, high stability and high accuracy
any weapon with low dmg, pistols are the preffered because you can use your spec pistol and just use the lvl 30 version
I think a decoy can also help
So if I'm on summit level 100, there's no way to get the stupid boss level related challenges unless I matchmake... weak!
what
Go-to summit lobby, and reset your tower viva the menu there, so you can do those challenges.
umm im pretty sure that resets all challege progress too
No, it only resets completed ones
Right, sorry I wasn't clear. I want to complete them all for the exotic
Same answer.
yeah I only have the boss related ones left so reseting is more work
less work, but you do you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Unless I matchmake and get lucky tho
You can keep matchmaking to get up there just don’t be that guy that jumps shepherd status to get to the highest floor
Once you get to floor 70 or so it’s not that bad getting to 100
the big horn only drops on floor 90 of legendary summit ye? (ik its leg strongholds aswell
No, off any legendary boss. So boss floor bosses count
interesting okay thanks, read somewhere it was floor 90 only
Naw ridgeway pieces are on certain floor ranges
Just got gunner, any tips and advice, fellas?
you could say its the most versatile specialization
Oh? Make sense
What is the best timing to pull out the big gun since ammunition is hard to replenish
Basically it doesn't need any range or specific targets / hits to get special ammo and its benefits / talents can be beneficial with directives
Gunner's ammunition is not that hard to replenish actually, neither is sharpshooter and firewall unless you're playing at a distance
What do you mean at a distance
Pull it out to hit weak points on tanks or mow down rushers / enemies pushing, you kind of want them to be in the same position say a door or hallway for it to be of good use
well firewall requires you to be within 10 meters
at a distance is basically anything over 15 meters which is considered SMG range
AR Ranges are between 28 - 36 or so (meters)
Rifles / Marksman rifles go from 40-60
Oh, the optimum distance
Very detailed explanation, thank you once again @narrow matrix
So guys, will the shield still be viable in PvE after the upcoming update?
I don't pvp, and really want to build a red pve shield build
I have my skill build fully sorted now
so a good red build is next
shield is still viable in pve, you just need to be a bit more careful about letting it get broken (which you'd usually want to avoid anyway)
disorient effect seems relatively minor anyway
Wait, DZ had exotic?
currently, none of the exotics are dz-exclusive (although some of them have been in the past)
Keyword on had yes
Does doing each manhunt bounty for the targets (Luna, Termite, etc) during their league give extra rewards?
I've been saving them
nope
I generally leave the missions part until the league week so I can run them as speedruns (two birds, one stone) and of course you get the double xp for first 15 levels when a new target becomes available, but that xp bonus comes regardless of what you do, doesn't have to be manhunt-related
Ah thats what I've been doing
I remember when I did all of Faye Lau literally all of the rogue bounties dropped exotics and named items for me
Ninjabike?
Lol ok
Evening kettle
Quick question about earning The Bighorn exotic: It's 5% chance to drop at the end of Legendary missions, but is there a limit per week to try each legendary mission for it? Or it doesn't matter how many you're doing in a week?
Perfect, I've lost my mind long ago 🙂
Also, in Legendary Summit, how does The Bighorn drop? Is it a boss-floor thing?
The 5% chance is from bosses so yea
If it has multiple bosses then it’s the end boss I think
To farm, kill all enemies but one and go to lobby
im new to the game and trying to do the story but ive been matchmaking for a story mission for 20 min, do i need to group at this point or is there a way for me to try it solo?
You can do the entire story solo
The group would just make you lose the story cause they will speedrun
If you find you need help don’t matchmake, call for backup instead
at low level should i just throw on whatever is higher stat or go for builds
thank you
big horn drops from named enemies in legendary in general
except for rouges i think?
Good to know, thanks for the heads up!
How does getting the Stinger work, exactly? The spreadsheet says it's through friend referral
is there a way to get a camp to reset or is it just on a timer?
It’s complicated for no reason tbh
Basically you need someone brand new to an Ubisoft account connected to Division 2. You share them your referral link and they need to accept it. However you need to wait until both of you receive a confirmation email that you’re linked. The recruit has to be under 3 hours - non boosted character. Within those 3 hours you must play and complete 3 main missions with them. I think strongholds count as well but I’d just stick with missions. After the main missions are completed you need to wait 24 hours to see if it delivers to your stash or inventory. If it doesn’t work you’re forgotten about and either need a new friend or someone to make a burner account
I’ve tried it 3 times with 3 different people, keeps failing
If it works where you’re both connected via Ubisoft you’ll see an icon next to your name in game when that person plays with you
While sharing your friend referral they get an xp boost to level 30
When they play with you
Guys, i really need help
i am buying new york dlc with discount but it is on epic?
but my base game is on Uplay
will my uplay receive the expansion?
WONY goes on sale very regularly on uPlay, so if you're unsure it might be worth waiting.
75% off on uPlay is quite common for WONY.
you just kind of can't wait because everyone rejecting me on raid in every clan due to the absence of dlc
and the sale of WONY will be on next year since its sales of this year is over
It's almost Easter near me, I imagine that there'll be some kind of sale on around then.
Every major holiday has one, basically.
but i remember last year only had one sales for division series only
That is incorrect, there is definitely more than one sale a year for Div2.
I've encouraged several friends to start playing it over the period of the sales.
oh ok, thanks for the advice and the detail
Just be patient
- When are the daily/weekly resets?
- Is there much difference between someone just trying to break into heroic content for matchmaking with people and people that have done it besides minmaxing? Is there any kind of milestone I should be trying to reach with stats before going to heroic, or is it more about tactics and minmaxing at that point
1: midnight each day (PTS) weekly are at Tues 12am.
2: yes, jump from challenging to heroic is pretty big. Heroic vets can speed clear it while fresh heroic players will struggle to stay alive. milestone is having a good build for heroic and good tactics (need both)
re builds, lots of heroic builds listed in the pinned spreadsheet, id start there for build info.
Is this reanimated event important? Should i be playing on it?
So im trying to get specific stats armor but i haven't been able to get it. I have been grinding heroic summit. Is there a better way than grinding heroic summit? We do tend to kill bosses quite quickly so its fast but we are just not sure if there are any better options, if someone could help us noobies out, thanks!
Summit or CPs 3+ are generally the best for loot farming highest difficulty with the most directives you can still speed clear on. and Loot drops is just RNG.
The Global Events (GE) are actually quite fun, and as you earn the "stars", you can spend them on Caches as a vendor near the helicopter at the BoO.
Is this event lowering enemy health or defense? I feel like I'm rolling over people, but maybe my build is just improving over time
You can check the details of the event on the splash page on your Seasons menu.
the tl;dr of it is "yeah, kinda, ish".
If you're great with headshots, it's the event for you.
sounds like someone needs to up the map difficuly
Im running on challenging right now, i don't think im quite ready for heroic full solo. Theres not a lot of new players so right now im either solo or trying to fight in with heroic teams
Yeah, I got my build to the point where "hard" is now too easy, and suddenly challenging is where its at
Plus, the longer I play, the more aware I've become about enemy tactics, doors used by them, I've learned how to door camp
Shield is very useful for door camping
especially if you use the flamethrower shield instead of the regular one
Yeah ive been using hunters fury and trying to level the flamethrower class since it interests me. I played a lot at launch and the original 3 classes are already done. Missed this game a lot actually. Scratches the real world itch and destiny 2 scratches the space magic itch
oh, got an objective for technician to destroy The Ravens armor pack before killing him in manning zoo. Not sure how best to achieve that
demo firefly
or can foam him then shoot it.
Foam and or Tall shield and on the lowest difficulty possible helps a ton on all those spec project tasks.
Quick question:
I’m new to how clans operate on The Division 2, and I’m wondering if they are usually only on the game or if they are on Discord.
If they are on Discord, how are clans built, maintained, and structured?
thats a loaded question...
TLDR: clans are maintained, and structured how ever the clan leader wants.
Afternoon AZ
Good to know.
Is anyone down to help me kind of figure out the best way to do things and kinda what I should be doing to maximize my time? im SHD level 5 and obviously starting the game very late but just looking for help to get on the right track 🙂 , just send me a DM or even send me good videos to watch, there is just so much out there, thank you!
You can go over to #td2-build-advice and find good builds to boost you to the harder difficulties
Go over to the first pinned message (the spreadsheet) and go to the builds tab
Buy a gun from one of the vendors that’s decently rolled that’s how I started and jumped straight into challenging difficulty
From there I got used to enemy movements then worked my way up to heroic
Matchmaking or calling for backup to give you peace of mind is cool, but it’s not liked it’s making it easier the game throws way more damage and difficulty at you
Alright. Ive got a bit of destiny brain, when i see a weapon with a higher DPS stat, should i just use that and drop everything else? I wanna use something like the grudge or whatever, but i have stuff thats set to 117k, vs the grudges 90k. How do i tell whats better?
Guys, newyork warlords level up system differs from main game system right? I mean it will be capped with 40 level and you only level up watches
Correct.
you build around your gear. You run a CQB build? Run SMG+AR
Do should i not put too much stock into the numbers themselves? Focus on perks and min maxing attributes?
but what about 300-350 350-400 gear score from main game. is it gone and now I'm stuck with NY warlords community?
Focus on perks and attributes.
Gear score is axed.
Focus on CHC on your watch
For red
Focus on Haz Pro and Armor for Blue, Focus on Skill Haste for Yellow, and evenly arrange the green side
You can go over to #td2-build-advice and head over to the pins, where there will be a spreadsheet with all the gear and builds you will need
DPS, Skill, Healer, Tank, we got it all
thank you
NP agent
What visual differences does the Railsplitter have from the regular CTAR-21 other than the default skin? I noticed the Invisible Hand has a unique model
I got a Railsplitter but due to a bugged Named cache it's a GS 505 one
GEs are good if you want to stock up on caches lol
The talent
visual differences
question. i've been using striker 4pc memento + chameleon for pretty much my entire time playing so far, and i want to tackle dark hours. Is this build able to fill a dps role? or do i have to grind for an entirely different set?
If your DPS can cope go for it tbh
But it might fall off in Lucy and Buddy since there's no ads whatsoever in there. Save for the seekers
ok so how about if i swap out memento for coyote
what does the scorpion do? i know its a shotty but not the effect
stacking status effects and team dmg bufff
And makes every cursed enemy kneel on the first shot
yay, a gun to go with eclipse set
Granted my banshe pulse does that too, but I need my quick stun 
I recall Scorpio not working with Vile, which might then not make it work with EP
i can check later on tonight when i go farm for it
also what is the rock & roll? no wiki page for it
ACS-12, +50% mag size
It works with vile and EP, scorpio status effect is just a normal status effect, with the exception of not scaling with the stat.
ALSO do note, the wiki is outdated. just use the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice that is up to date and has the PTS stuff being added. @thorn osprey
and iirc rock and roll is a DZ drop (spreadsheet also says too)
spread sheer? where?
^^
Pinned in the build advice chat, at the bottom
im dumb and noticed
how can i get the capacitor for my 2nd character
already did the summit challenges which is how i got my first one
anyone know where cassie is?
Will my Summit progress reset if I change difficulty?
No. I change difficulty regularly and it keeps progress
Ah great, thank you!
Once you have unlocked it and gotten the first one, it appears in the loot pool for Assault rifle targeted loot but as an exotic its still going to be a rare drop. Get another one on your first char then drop it in the stash and your second char will be able to get it from there.
It's a BIS for EP and Opportunistic bag
alr so ill farm for it on my main char gotcha
do the legacy caches from the vendor have a chance at getting the matador
yeah, but you are way beter of with named cache
the pool of named caches is allot smaller, with only named ,the legacy also has all the wony gearsets
ohh i see
welp name cache it is then
also isnt legacy 12 stars?
got 30 stars rn
yea
Named
then definatly named, for 24 points you get 3 from named pool, instead for 24 4 from legacy pool
Named pulls out everything except hunters gated named if you haven't done those
i have
kk i got a hollow man recently
had weapon handling sadly
was gonna make it all red but it had to have a blue on it
is there a way to get more resource convoys on the map after i did all of them
reset the map
also is there increased xp if your run the reanimated event
ive already all the headshot
etc
just got 2 ferocious calms is it any good
one has hsd armor regen
the other had chc
ferocious calm is as good as gathering dust lol
XD
lol
i mean its perfect overwatch why wouldn’t u want that
Im tryna play with one of my friends whos level 30 but doesnt have the DLC, is there anything we can do that benefits both of us since he cant join my group
you have to join him everytime you both wanna tag along sadly
why do so many ppl use lmgs in dark hours?
are you looking at videos of it? as to me it sounds like you are looking at older videos of the raid from the first 5-6 months of wony with that staement
lmgs and rifles used to be the meta back then as ar's were pre buff back then
nowadays its 80%ars and 20% scorpio
Bosses are always out of cover in that raid
i see. is there a go to for ARs? any named i should take not of?
how does this work with lmgs? can't you just roll or recab a dmg to target out of cover on an ar?
Look at the max number LMGs can give
ah, so its higher huh
bullet king is viable? i thought it had rather low dps on average
if bullet king really works then it might save me a lot of farming time
the support aspect of it tbh
I feel like if u stack crit crit w it it would be better
free mag for everyone everytime the user hits 100x is nice
i also lowkey wanna say that LMG has a bit high damage per mag than AR?
for ar's you can take your pick from wich ever you like best, aslong as its one of the ones not missing a slot. more importantly you want dttooc and a good talent, my preference is fast hands for sustain.
what is dttooc?
ohh
🙂👌
DTOOC is the common abbreviation for it
btw what does not missing a slot mean
no mod slot unused
as in gear mod slot
although that is a strange requirement tbh since you'd most likely have all 3 mods used up
some of the ars, f2000, honey badger, akm (1 of the variants) are missing a mod slot, like muzle or barrel.
i see
those ars are ussually avoided
oh that kind
famas is the top ar still
you can still use honey badger tho?? it's close to a p416 performance wise
only real reason to not use it is if you need a long rail for spotter, or if you want more accuracy
maybe ammo conservation as a third reason
but all ars are really within 8% of each other, so its only when min maxing when you should go meta, most of hte time you can run the best you have, or guns you like
right
im kinda stumped on fitting survivability on my build. i could spec gunner but i feel like demo's dttooc is too important. most guides i see tend to run obliterate on chest piece instead of something like unbreakable
or maybe im going about this wrong and straight damage is the way to go
Fyi, that group buff from specs (ie that dttoc from demo) only buff the group and not your self.
shit, really?
Yes
so its not worth bringing
In a group yes, but solo no
Easy effective way to add a ton of self sustain is gunner + death grips.
Or 2-3 blues with shield + say ad rush.
Or 2-3 yellow cores for shield + 2nd skill.
And fyi, blue armor cores are worthless, UNLESS you combo them with enough things.
im talking about a raid build btw
but wouldnt that be sacrificing a lot of dps for the bossing
Also droping GC for say obliterate also helps.
maybe im misunderstanding how it works but i swear i have never seen obliterate work ever
Yes, but less dps drop then swapping chest talent to unbreakable
oh wait im thinking of the wrong talent.
ignore me
Lol
Alright, question- I'm on the "Rats Gnaw our Bones" quest for Regulus (needing to collect the exotic components). I know I need to get these in raid, but I've already done my first run on the most recent reset. Can I still collect the parts this week? Or do I have to wait till next reset?
Gotta wait for a fresh run
Yup fresh run
what should i be buying with the global event stars?
depends on what you want really
if you wanna upgrade gear, opti caches, if you want a chance at DZ exclusives, named item caches
If you run sleigher or some other gun that confuses, I’m not sure if disorient counts as confused or blinder firefly you can use the galvanize talent to keep bonus armor up for your teammates if that’s what this was for, I came across a piece tonight and read the talent - immediately thought of this comment lol
So you can keep constant intimidate up for people using adrenaline rush
Scorpio can also trigger it I think
I was aiming specifically for something that used CTC for bonus armor
Leadership, ninjabike, a gun with a talent for that
If I find a DZ exclusive in the DZ once can I get it from LZ targeted loot?
No
CTC?
Nope.
DZ loot is available from the DZ, Conflict Caches, specific other special caches, and Manhunt Rogues in the case of Named Items.
Alright thanks c:
If this is cover to cover, I don’t think it would really help
If you use a jammer pulse with EP does it prevent enemies from reanimating
How often do you get new manhunts? Is it one per season or?
Need some general advice honestly:
There's so much in the game I want to do and as a true completionist - what order should I do things in?
I wanna climb summit, start all the projects, do the manhunts, do league speedruns, get gear to start heroics > raids. Basically wanna 100% everything but I tend to just do bits and piece all over and losing my mind over it. Is there an optimal route?
As a completionist, I started out by finding all the comms, echos and artifacts
Got all side missions completed, all main missions
filled in all the data for people found.
As for projects, by the time you hit WT1, you should have ALL projects upto that point completed, ignoring dailies/weeklies.
make sure to go to the crafting bench and craft one of each weapon mod that they give
oh, and make sure to get the 5 hidden side missions
then race through to WT5 concentrating on just doing the 2 side missions and one stronghold per WT, crafting gear on each WT to reach the score required
Go to NYC, and follow the missions through to level 40 and NYC completion. Get all comms and echos in NYC.
Yea I'm in WT5 already and done all of WONY - saving manhunts and collectibles in NY to last as I simply can just ignore it and not look at NY map ^^
Well thought that was the same thing ^^ but yes, im level 40 and SHD level 66 or something similar
Once you've completed the entire story through WoNY and have the SHD levels unlocked, you can then start getting all comms and just rounding that section off. All comms and Echos, artifacts in both cities
My progression in this game messes with me as I played 200 or so hours at release then quit, then played WONY for a week or so, and now came back a few days ago
Yeah, I actually started again with a clearer progress in mind in a new char, deleted my old ones
Should probably have done the same honestly. Things would be way less confusing at least
Also, try to get into an active clan that looks after and accepts newbies
people you can talk to who can help you get better gear and start with builds
You're looking for #td2-clan-recruitment
this ^^^
Yeah I reached out to a guild and sent a join request earlier today
Bear in mind that there is a LOT of dead clans listed in game
Noted. Reached out to one from the channel just mentioned, looks active enough
yeah, the ones that advertise here are all good active clans
Get started on the manhunts
technically, they are old content thats being re-run
Sorry, what 5 hidden missions ?
Is opening the new york safe zone chests worth it? I dont wanna go get all the SHD things if it isnt worth opening them
nah
they're treesh, they give like 1% rolls
they're meant for you to open as you're going through WONY
so say you're level 33 by the time you finish with each manhunt target, the intended thing for you to have been doing is the safehouse project (activities, caches and bounties)
TLDR: those caches give story mode rolls which are treesh
Its worth spending the SHD tech on them, as theres nothing else to spend it on. Do it after level 40, theres a decent chance you might get something you can use from them
especially as a fresh 40
and they can only ever be opened once
Heard something about raid exclusives being added to the general loot pool. Guessing this is false?
The exotics will remain
What did shift over is the Foundry Bulwark and Future Initiative chest and backpacks
can't say i'd be surprised if this is, indeed, the case, seeing as the dark hours gear sets eventually got added to the general loot pool
it's also been 2 years since iron horse came out
i would guess it's also related to the expertise system; if you don't have easy access to the chest pieces and backpacks for future initiative and foundry bulwark, it makes it doubly annoying to add expertise levels
You don't need the chest or backpack for the expertise system, you just need pieces of the set equipped
Armor exp shares the experience with all other pieces of the same set.
that's convenient
so that then probably points to whatever expiration of exclusivity that the dark hours gear sets went through (i dunno when that happened, i started playing in late 2020, and i wasn't really paying attention to game news at the time)
Do projects not share between other characters anymore? (Or just never have?) I made a new character and rushed beating WONY to do IH since I'm on the last step for the regulus and noticed the quest step isn't in my projects
The reason I ask is because the guide I was following said the projects are account wide, yet I noticed I could do my weeklies again
Yeah, those don’t carry. I had to do the Regulus quest on my second as well.
are world tiers only for people who dont have the DLC? cause my friend has gone up 4 world tiers in like 1 day and i finished all my missions and strongholds im pretty sure and I'm not even on world tier 1. like in my world the enemies are "40" but when i go to his they were like "I" "II", etc over his enemies heads
World Tiers are before the story of WONY, which is set after them.
So doing them in order is the correct way if you want the story.
oooh ty
yeah, levelling is 1-30, WT1 - WT5, WoNY 31-40
is everything transferable between characters?
yes, generally
Those dont transfer over
so i wont have my unlocked attatchments and blueprints?
you wont, but you might be able to grab a share blueprints thing, not sure
well if you are just looking for the side mission stuff, boosting a character does complete those missions
btw what does it mean by "the boosted character will not be able to earn achievements"
certain achievements are skipped because you dont physically complete them on the boosted character, you skip them
i see, so future achievements will be able to be earned?
i believe you can still earn achievements but not the ones it skips
Nah they won’t, I boosted to WONY on an alt and you can’t even buy the shared blueprints until you go back to DC
You can craft the other ones I think, from the side missions
answered in other channel fyi., please dont double post.
why does no one use the scorpio in pvp? is the talent removed or nerfed or something? is it just not practical?
in pvp the effects are different and takes too long to apply
needs 6 shots before you get ensnare, you'll be dead before that happens
what if I do it at mid range relative to shotguns and they don't see me :DDDDD
your effects will be terrible and they'll take minimal damage
idk i was thinking more that they'd get disoriented and shocked so you'd still have the jump on them
scorpio's effects are based on how many pellets hit, and shotguns are not the best weapons outside of ~15 meters
in PVP the effects are different
1 shot gives bleed, 3 gives disrupt, 6 gives ensnare, all with fairly short durations
First bit i didnt actually know, thanks
yeah you'll wanna run something else in PVP, its just not the best
I did suspect something since I've never
and I mean never
seen anyone in the DZ with the scorpio, including me
Were you talking to me?
No the other guy
Does DTA apply to the breakable armor or just the health bar armor?
just health bar armor
It's best to think of the plate armour as "plates", more than actual armour.
Afternoon AZ
Heya
Why did completing manning national zoo invaded give me “the summit secured”
the true floor 100 is manning zoo
Interesting, is that a joke or are you being serious
Cause if you are that makes sense haha
guys i dont get it 😦
so this watch thing is just leveling up clockwise and you just select in which one of four skills of one skill type to invest? I mean if its time for offence skills I can select one of four skills to levelup. then it goes to defense skills group and again I invest my point to one of four defense skill. thats how it works right?
Correct, it goes 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 (Scavenging).
Once you've filled in all of the first 4, you'll only get Scavenging.
thank you. so difference between players is how they choose their path in each of four and which loadout they use. ok now I get it how it works 🙂
One note: you will eventually max it out when you reach SHD Lvl 999, so don't worry too much about the path you take to get there.
It's advised to go for crit stats and skill haste first, but that's about it.
oh and it's Account based, as long as you've finished WONY on that char.
I leveling up crit chance and skill haste
its about 1% now 😄
Nice.
Okay yeah, well the most important thing is coming, ya ready?
Have fun. Div2 is meant to be fun, enjoy the journey!
what the best way to do gunner research 5
i cant get all the armor off before i kill basilisk
use a low dmg pistol
Tall shield + pistol on the lowest difficulty allowed. (might be on hard) and just take your time.
what about if I used oxidizer?
damn, this is gonna suck then
I explained it like this to someone else, hopefully it helps
the way to do it is you need a rifle with all stability mods - no crit chance - start by taking out all of the enemies, you can use a shock trap and the tamper proof talent for the turret which you can throw down to shock him in place, use a sniper turret so it doesn't shoot him (he will draw aggro to the turret). If you have flashbang grenades this also helps. Start by taking out his shoulder pads, then his helmet, then go for his elbow pads, kneepads, backpack and finally chest piece (in this order) it prevents you from accidentally killing him...
if you don't have any of the above or don't feel like going through the hassle, let him prepare to swing at you, then roll away, he will stumble and you will have a few seconds to shoot
Okay wow thanks arrow, ill give it a shot
I found using a shield to slow me down
are you at that part of the map now?
no, i'm currently in a boring ass lecture. figured id get advice before i try it when i get home
Good Luck, man. 🤙🏻
I'm working through the Firewall Specialization.
Keeping Gunner for last. Having so much fun with the Technician.
I think gunner was the most fun for me, firewall was tedious 😂
Firewall had me go back to roosevelt island like 6 times
Why is Firewall an essential part of the HF build? Could gunner be used with it instead?
Firewall is suggested primarily for the shield that's locked to the Tree.
If you prefer Crusader instead, then Gunner is 100% fine.
ah, gotcha.
because of the big damage buff from the firewall shield.
and the best HF builds, use the crusader shield.
@sterile nexus You've been warned, now it's official. Stop spamming.
depends on what you call best
As in "most optimal".
is the sacrifice a dz exclusive?
aight cool
saw someone show me a skill build and it had the sacrifice, and the ones I have don't have skill damage and haste rolled
Now call me weird, but isn't it better to get a wyvern piece with normal GC instead of Sacrifice?
Specially the farming part of it
I’d say it is
You get the brand bonus and easier to find rolls
You also take less damage lol
I've said like 7 times maybe? or 3
i have maggots in my brain
they sit comfortable there
thanks for actually telling me thag
that
Maybe there's a headshot firestarter meta I don't know 
To me it's a similar thing to people putting fox on their weapon builds, like
Get the 10% damage from another brand and roll crit on the piece or something
If you don't use your weapon to add dps then yes, otherwise yellow sacrifice is better
Oh yeah, those rare people whose skill build isn't drone/turret 
I'm doing a tier 6 decoy FI one day 
Overclock heal hive and decoy for the epic gamers
I'm tempted to do repair trap with hard wired too, but I forgot where to get Hornet
Tbh repair trap with oxy on HW would be pretty dope
can someone sum up what specialisations apart from gunner and technician are used for? used to only play straight dps and now actually branching out into different builds
like I've never used a seeker mine, turret or chem launcher
at least can't recall
tidal basin
Demo: mortar/explosive skill build
Survivalist: healer, CC build
Sharpshooter: Sniper or if you want to use focus on your chest talent
Firewall: CQC playstle or a specific fire only CC build
You can also play a safer support skill build on technician since it gives 1 free skill tier
what's cc?
and what's with the focus thing
I know about the negotiators focus 8x build with the m4, but what does sharpshooter do?
crowd control
oo
focus has a big scope as its requirement, sharpshooter gives you a big scope
also some other stuff but like, makes sense
Is there a better way of getting specific exotics or is farming loot allocations and hoping it drops the only way?
farming target loot is the best way
Sharpshooter gives bonus HSD to rifles and sniper rifles
It's a specialization catered to snipers or long ranged combats
im trying to get ridgeways pride and all i gotta do is kill 2 rogue agents, i've been doing the summit on heroic, and other missions on heroic along with level 4 CP's and they still dont spawn. Is there any other way to get them to spawn other than random chance??
Are Raid exclusives coming to the general loot pool with the upcoming patch? If so will it be all of them or just some
reeeally convince the game that you dont need to fight rogues, that'll get ya rogues real quick
aspect... i hate you for saying that, but deep....deep down i know that that will somehow work lmao
yannick has stated just the FB and FI chest and bag are getting into the loot pools, Regulus and Ravenous are remaining raid exclusive.
What about the EB? Or did you mean that when you wrote FB
EB is remaining raid exclusive, it already had its gearsets moved to general loot
which gear sets were those?
FB and FI, didnt mention EB because nothing about DH is changing
Aces and Negotiators
Oh yeah I recognized FI, trying to get the chestpiece for a raid healer build :(
most people dont remember FB because its a tank set and because the 4 pieces you need for the meta version of it are the ones you can get from targeted loot
Not for long! The entire set is being moved to TL.
It's been confirmed that it's intentional.
https://twitter.com/yannickbch/status/1511632413998432259?s=20&t=za1nzwFSgBHPC0bMNJhFbg
I wish tank actually had some measure of proper aggro management
Playing deflector while an enemy keeps turning to a level 0 drone is just... wow, it hurts
@inner tendon
completely justified ping
In my defence, it was all the way up there, (and you did say the opposite but whatevs :p)
because thats how it currently is
once TU15 comes out i'll update my speech
until then i will continue saying that FB and FI chest and bag are raid exclusive, because they are (for now)
I think it's worth adding that asterisks, you see people are terrible at remembering things and you've gotta repeat it over and over.
i am good at repeating things
Im just hopping back into things and making my way through SHD levels and the such. Is this keener's legacy or "season 8" pass going to end when the huntsman league does? Or is this continuing until something else releases for Division 2, god forbid that happens
season 8 will end when season 9 releases, but that isnt when Huntsman league does.
Season 9 will come.... Eventually. PTS phases are happening currently, we just finished part 1 of the PTS with 3 phases planned overall.
What is the best way to get chameleon?
bounties
Thanks
Last night, i was fortunate enough to join a group doing the summit that was good enough to complete floor 100 and beat the hunters. I had called in the extract and acquired the ridgeway's project for the vest. For the challenge that is to neutralize 2 hunters, are the hunters on floor 100 more advanced than the hunters that can be spawned in free roam and should i spawn 2 instead of doing floor 100 again?
either works, the hunters will be the same difficulty (dependent on summit/world difficulty) as any others you find. If you haven't done any of the masks yet, you may find some of them quicker and easier to spawn than getting back to floor 100
alrighty. I think i'll have to result to finding another group that is on or near floor 100 because it's hard to find randoms looking for hunters with sheparding + my main friend won't be able to play with me today. I appreciate your input tho. :)
Hey so i just got back into division again and i kinda forgot Everything. I got 2 questions. Wich lvl do I start to care about gear and actually start building builds. And what do I do with all the gear I pick up now on the journey to lvl 30?
When you're post WT 5 you can start building and everything before then is just to aid you
@dusk vortex sorry but what is wt5…
Basically when you beat the strongholds you'll go into world tier 1
Then you'll have to beat each strongholds again to advance into higher world tiers
@drowsy charm
Same as 90% of loot in div2:
Targeted Loot: [Backpack] +Directives, Challenging or above.
kk only been playing again for a week so thought i would ask
If you havent killed open world hunters for masks it too works. Idk if manhunt hunter in coney island works too
@earnest hill There are 2 "endgames" in div2.
The first is where you are now, WT5.
The second (and one where most of the player-base is) requires the WONY expansion.
wow it’s a good time to get expansion.
Wait for it to be on sale and it's cheaper than a coffee in most cities.
Whats the best way to farm for Perfect vigilance?
TL: [Providence] in the DZ, or Named Item Caches.
Hey Saph 
can't complain.
Does anyone know can the future incitave backpack drop once a week or can i farm ih for it?
You have one chance of getting it after reset I think
In your first clear or someone else can drop
Ah alright thanks for info
Just do a raid and ask for it
Does anyone know when i get the part to do all the components for the reglus and i get to the end boss if i dont have a key can i not get the last part?
Need to have 5 keys to open the chest and get the final piece
If i have done the raid on my characters for the week im guessing i cant get it until next week
Always get a key from the final boss, so if you’ve got 4 already, that’ll be the 5th. Then you can open. If you need all 5, the final boss will always drop a key.
Is there a noticable jump in loot quality between Heroic and Legendary?
so i can just farm 5 keys there then?
It’s like heroic with a chance for godrolls but the chance probably increases
Enemy difficulty is far different tho
Yeah. Just do the boss 5 times, 5 keys.
yea, im just trying to decide if legend summit is better than heroic + 3 or 4 directives for farming
Legendary summit didn't seem to be mich more devastating, but there's some interesting changes
The BT heavy with his healing backpack? It's now a stinger hive with massive range
can I play with someone who is not lvl 40 but already started the expansion ?
Am I able to start the Warlords of New York Expansion after I complete the Main Campaign?
Realistically how are you all feeling about the support or state of the game right now? The people i do get matched with obviously have stuck it out and a large majority are in the SHD level 500-4000 or so on.
fine, generally
i'm not overly demanding about support for the game, so i'm just happy there's new content upcoming
i also understand that it takes a while to make new content
What tilts me about PvP games is that I either get stomped and quit, or stomp someone and they quit with the inbetweens being so rare, they're just not worth chasing
Difficulty increases chances for better rolls?
Yes
Shit, might have to go up to Herioc
Been to scared to do it
But I don't wannaaaa reset control points
Do you get more XP just by having the Global Event active?
No clue but it seems like it from my experience though
Because I just got like 6 levels doing 1 Heroic control point and 1 Territory Control, 2 directives
Well you’re killing the enemy twice technically
I ran heroic control points for like 1-2 hours 2 days in a row and maxed out proficiency caches both times
Heroic + all directives
I was mainly headshotting them though
In the DZ clearing landmarks gives credits, right? It has for as long as I remember, but today only 1 out of like 15 clears have given credits. Is there any reason for this? Is it the fact that it's Invaded?
DZ landmarks only gives loot
You get dz credits from dismantling contaminated loots and the boxes
The latter you don't have to extract if you found some
Not DZ credits
I mean E-Credits
I've seen E-Credits drop from landmarks, usually around 5k each landmark
idk why you wanna farm e-credits in landmarks tbh, bounties achieve the same thing
also you can sell the gears you got for extra too
Landmarks are quick, fast and easy and add a little danger to the game with the possibility of Rogues and all
Just makes it more exciting
Will schaffer manhunt mission count for daily project
does dta contractor or dtooc fox prayer affect firestarter chem/sticky burn initial damage and tick damage?? or it does nothing at all??
yes
it even affects status effect damage
so my division has shade lvl rank one and should I go into summit to grind gear or should I do raids.
Need a build first before you start raiding
What level/gear score would i need before attending raids
510 is bare minimum, or lv40 with 90+% rolls
hi all is striker the buff it got better to run on bullet king build over nego set
how’s the leveling after reaching shade lvl.
it's the same, no difference
15% chd or 5% weapon damage? Which one is better in the long run
15% CHD
CHD unless your CHC is low or your existing CHD is >200
When is the update gonna release?
Still TBA
There tring tobget the bugs out🤣
Typing a little to fast bro slow down
Should i bother trying to optimize the dark winter from the DZ south vendor?
People have varying opinions on that gun 🙂
ah 🙃
For me it's a hard no. The only time I find the Dark Winter useful is when I need 10 steel 😎
💀
Um, quick question. Is the future chest piece still raid exclusive?
I used my warlords of NY expansion to boost a new character and it only gave me the demolitionist specialization. Do I need to do the strongholds to unlock the other beginning 2 or are they unavailable?
I believe you can swap it as soon as you reach Haven
The WONY boost should unlock all 3 and start you with demo equipped
weird... i played through the whole DLC and don't have them in my specialization list
Yes
Thank you
Does anyone have lv. 90 summit checkpoint and could share it with me?
you already posted in lfg buddy
yep but maybe it's better place for it, I dunno
also if you're trying to do the level 90 gear farm, you'd need a checkpoint at 89
since it only saves the last checkpoint you cleared
unless you meant that idk
no actually, I need floor 90
ahh got it
@topaz nimbus well I was doing 75mph
I've never seen System Corruption drop in the DZ, are there any reliable methods for farming it?
Legacy Caches and getting lucky in the DZ are the only 2 real ways, since Season 1 is unlikely to be re-run again.
Luckily, it's not a very good set overall.
They're there, you just have to keep scrolling to the right on the specialisation selection screen (caught me out at first too)
Where do rewards from challenges and leagues go in the inventory if I don't collect them? My inventory and mailbox are almost full, will it end up in special deliveries or grants
they go to the mailbox, if that's full I don't know - probably just get discarded
special deliveries is for DZ extracted loot and grants iirc is for the weekly challenge from the connect app
hi guys, is there any chance to get legendary drops on normal mode The Summits ?
You can get max- rolled gear on Normal difficulty but it's a lot less likely: difficulty effects the minimum rolls, which in turn affects the average rolls
Or if you mean Exotic items, yes you can get them too
ah i see. how about normal mode with 5 directives ?
will the result be the same?
ah yeah, i mean exotic items on normal mode before
Directives increase the number of targeted loot drops you get, so can increase your chance of getting an exotic if you've got an appropriate target loot set.
It won't increase the quality of the drops though, and any drops on Normal are quite likely to have poor rolls.
I think higher difficulty also increases your chance of getting an exotic from a named enemy too
Special Deliveries are only for DZ resources you extract - gear goes into the mailbox
i did one stronghold and it seemed to fix itself. scroll bar appeared afterwards
Do you ever notice that it reduces your drops?
On heroic no directives I tend to get more drops than with directives, can usually go 1-2 summit floors not getting anything with directives
Nope, Targeted Loot is an additional drop, on top of an enemy's regular Loot.
All a Directive does to alter it is to buff the chance that additional drop happens.
I see
Afternoon Kettle
hey saph
Will heartstopper stacks only last 5 seconds
atm yes, but PTS still has changes.
The manhunt rogues have DZ loot I’ve been told, does this apply to farming manhunt missions from an off season target, ie rerunning Jupiter, Hornet, Schaffer, Faye Lau…
Or is it just the manhunt rogues from bounties (the targets)
I'm 90% sure it only applies to the bosses during the active Manhunts, not the final Mission.
Does this include the bounties for termite, huntsman, Luna and whoever the other person is?
Or just Hornet?
The Rogue boss that appears on the special Bounty once you finish a Manhunt? Those are what I'm referring to.
As for the rest, couldn't say, but I doubt it.
Oh you’re saying manhunt as each individual target
Yea basically I’m talking about when you complete all the missions, cps and bounties for a single target
So how these past few weeks have been huntsman as the primary target
Once you do that special Bounty, kill the Rogue and you'll get a Named item, which pulls from the named item cache loot pool, which can include DZ stuff.
it's not overly efficient.
Guys, I cant find any info when current season ends and when new season begins. Please Help T_T
current season will end when the next season starts. there isnt a concrete date.
ingame I see 12 hours countdown
12 hours is for the Daily Reset.
Pause > Seasons, should be in there.
That’s the global event
Quick question: previously (more than 5 months ago) I did all Iron Horse related projects, but they reappeared in my projects list. Not a big deal, done them again except Regulus, cuz no parts are dropping. Should I give Regulus to my Alt Character, so Regulus parts start dropping again on my main character? Thanks in advance
Yes. Can’t have the Regulus on your main. Make sure the Regulus is in the inventory for the alt, not the stash, and you can pick up the pieces again on the main.
Appreciated a lot 👍
the part doesnt drop from the final boss, it drops from the boss on the roof. check your materials list to see if you already have it
anyone knows where the exotic pistol drops? the one with the explosions
Hello agents
, when farming for named gear pieces, am I correct in thinking it’s better to TL gear name vs gear type?
TIA
It doesn't, it's a reward from doing IH raid project
Yes
Agents, I come to you in a time of need. Been trying to get the Gunner specialty finished but for whatever reason i just cant get Basilisks armour off before he dies.
I dont have any of the fancy guns, so just relying on bulwark shield w/ pistol, and oxidiser launcher
anyone have any suggestions? is GL still a thing (i see references to it being useful, but also that the way it does damage was changed)
dont use oxi, just use a low dmg pistol
you can use your spec pistol and take lvls out of it to lower the dmg it does
pulse and bulwark shield?
thats what a lot of ppl do
aight, i'll give it a go
@gilded raft I'd probably say Achilles pulse if you have it from Faye Lau manhunt,it highlights weakpoints
oh yup, havent done lau - been away from the game for a while
But I think the remote pulse works at identifying weak points too but I'm probably wrong on that
@foggy needle what is ih?
iron horse raid
what is the drop rate for the pestilence and chameleon, because it seems they're the only exotics I get, let alone frequently
like it's funny that I've grown to just not care when I see the pestilence or chameleon
chameleon syndrome
for named gears by their brands but for weapons by their types
Same here. Got 3 chameleons in 20 floors a the Summit a couple weeks ago🤷♂️. Got enough pestilence to arm a small army as well😂🤦♂️. I Just deconstruct them now. Be fucked if I can get a Scorpio or Memento tho💩💩
Anyone know how to retain summit floor 100
with the hunters do not face them head on, i strongly suggest you try get at least another agent to help you out. Sit in the 2nd room of floor 100 and wait until the hunters get restless, if your on heroic i suggest riot foam chem launcher. Then light up the hunters with shotguns. if your having trouble with getting a single one in the room run molotovs as the hunters will not run through the fire.
best way to get faction keys for ridgeways ? , ive been doing the sewers abit and all ive got is outcasts keys
i needs riker and cleaner keys but cant seem to get any
Is there cross save for division 2 I’m moving to pc from PS4 soon and don’t wanna lose all my stuff
say goodbye to your gear man
that’s pain at least I’ll have something to work towards again
yea the only thing i hated was the SHD level
True thankfully I’m not in the thousands so shouldn’t take too long to build back up
Rikers and cleaners are in New York
Just wait till heartland drops and say goodbye to D2 lul
still arent getting any
from the keyboxes
Sometimes they give black tusk and dark zone ones too
After a week or so back, it seems like everyone has given up on legendary missions for fun judging by the eternal queue for matchmaking, is this the case?
it feels like if i don't set my group to open and accidentally catch someone who was looking for random, i rarely get anyone to join me
Matchmaking is shit anyway
speaking to summit as well, i've been doing it for about an hour now, open group, matchmaking on, nothing
helpful. i am doing it solo, and i am in #lfg-pc
But why u wanna matchmake
because i like playing in a group
i think that might be something on your end as when ever i okay summit
i insta matchmake into a group
Also time, where are you in?
could be for sure
central US, it's 0630
Well that actually is invalid since you can't easily switch server lmao
You'd be mostly matchmaked "locally" from my experience
your gonna struggle that early i struggle that early on EU
If you're up for it try asia lol
for sure, however, my overall feeling is persistent all day. i had the same problem when legendary missions came out, i had to form a clan of people who only did legendaries
that solved a couple issues
Outside the weekly legendary you're not going to find that many people in legendary mission matchmaking
I've done all three legendaries once. Pick up groups with 1-2 members with a build that has no hope of working in Legendary are quite infuriating
Is James dragov mission have a chance give you bullet king? Or just Theo mission?
it's rikers boss drop or LMG target loot
if i want to unlock a new specialization i need to complete the field research right?
Yes
any other way to get riker keys apart from sewer
So like if the bounty is rikers enemy I might have a chance of getting bullet king?
@wispy maple Riker Bounties, easily the best way outside of sewer hunting.
oh i see lemme try this final sewer and give it a go
is it guaranteed or random
It's a guaranteed reward.
no need to ping, someone'll answer you.
i only replied
Is DZ East Trophy still available to obtain?
Randy0 :v
Yes, keep entering the safe room whenever you’re in it and you will eventually get it
what save room? the SHD one or the rouge agent room?
There are 2?
The one marked on the map as orange in the middle-ish of the DZ
The original Dark Zone Rogue system was pretty complicated, among it the Thieves’ Den, which was unlocked if you did enough stuff while rogue and had DZ resources to barter
Ahhhh okay, so i need to enter that are until i get the backpack trophy?
This was largely simplified because it really was just complex for its own sake, and the Thieves’ Den spots have been retooled into the safe rooms
yeah, no idea if it has to be on separate visits to the DZ though
Got the backpack trophy!
Ty
Neat, enjoy
If you finish all the missions for the new target, can you complete hornet and reset the campaign to farm it?
Without needing to worry about the campaign releasing something new
Hello i am looking for joining a team for playing raids.....if anybody looking for team members please message me.....uplay name- Abhro...thank u
try #lfg-raid-pc
is RIDGEWAYS PRIDE project still available?
i mean, to get drop the components in the summit crates
Yeh
i guess is bad luck that i am not getting the components jeje
You get them from the chests after certain floor intervals, you don't need to get them in order even
Nor does it have to be in your session
It's every 20 floors I think
yes but i am not getting droped, i guess is bad luck
its guarrenteed from the reward chest
check out the ridgeway line on the spreadsheet, that tells you the floors for the parts.
where is that spreadsheet?
It's in the last pin in #td2-build-advice
but I had it open so here ya go:
"Body Armor" floor 1-20
"Shoulder Pads" floor 21-40
"Hunting Knife" on floor 41-60
"Flag Patch" floor 61-80
"Dog Tags" floor 81-100
^^
okay so, i will get body armor 100% if a do 1-20 floors?
Yes you have to open the chest one of those floors
Maybe you have that piece already
Hmmm that's weird
i will do one more run of 1-20 floor an let's see if i get it
i have open a crate in floor 3 and no piece
It’s RNG as to which crate will have it. I had to get the last piece and it dropped on the last box.
not RNG
Those parts are 100% chance from that floors box, as long as you don’t already have the part or ridgeway exotic on you or your stash.
Guess I'm too dumb to realize, how do I know if I'm participating or have an active event ?
I do get ranks when completing stuff such as headshots and weak points
But that's all I know lol
And why i have opened a chest in floor 3 and i haven't get drop the first piece if is 100% chance?
I don't have any part
Just saying it drops on those floors, but it’s random as to which crate.
Go to your menu and on the right hand side it should say "Seasons" with your season level on it. The UI is really stupid but you can figure out from there by scrolling through the events. The one you're referring to ended today, right now the event is "Target: Titan"
So, when I get to the 21st floor, will I have the first piece if I opened the boxes?
double check your exotic parts, you already have it then. Menu > resource tab > look at components section.
I don't have it, where i can send an screeshoot
DM me
If you picked up the piece between 1-20, then yes.
Ok,
Huh I just realized on my alt character I have all the Ridgeway components except the 1-20 one, but I definitely ran through the entire thing already... weird
I mean I have it crafted already so idc
I see. I've seen people say that they have an active event, is that where you trigger it on/off?
Right so some events like the Reanmiation one (that ended today as well) you have to trigger on/off. When the event is active, you just select that pane and it should show you how to activate/deactivate
Right now none of those events are active, but next time around you'll see it
Those are called "Global Events"
What's the drop chance of an exotic?
I'm challenging with two directives, with backpacks as my targetted loot
I think it's around 3% for Named bosses on Challenging and 4% on Heroic, but take this with a grain of salt since I don't remember this as a certainty
If you play the Summit you can put a ton more directives which may help you out and if you are able to play Heroic it's your best bet
I've had 4 exotics today including the SHD requisition project
Got diamondback from that this morning
what do high velocity rounds do?
I’m not sure but in red dead redemption 2 it increases accuracy and range of the bullet…. So maybe that’s what it does?
They have a 100% chance to stagger hostiles if my info is up to date
Can I add any attributes to the Memento, other than with a mod?
For example, recalibrating it? Or is that not possible
Exotics cannot be recalibrated, only modded or optimized
@narrow kraken there is reconfigured which requires 1 exotic component ,could make it better, but could make it way worse
oh yeah forgot about that one
I've never seen an exotic roll so bad I'd even think of rerolling it
If you were to mark a chunga with the Negotiator’s stack, and then you mark another enemy that is not a chunga, will you damage the normal enemy from the chunga’s plates?
yes
So, for second IH fight with the chunga and the purple assault, I can mark both and just lay lead into the chunga?
yep, provided you have good crit chance/damage
Can I get the lady death smg from just killing bosses marked in smg zones on heroic or is there a quest locking it?
Just target loot SMGs
cool
thx bb <3
There is a 3% chance it drops from the world bosses in NYC
yes BUT those NYC world bosses are time gated. so very not worth it, besides target loot has an overall higher drop rate then the NYC bosses for lady death.
What's the best way to get a D50?
farm target loot
Is the police m4 even in the loot pool? I haven’t gotten one in ages so I’ve been trying to craft a good one
it is
just RNG
is there a way to recommend small features that should be added to the game? cuz i hate opening like 60 apparel caches
i wish you could speed up the opening
How the heck are you even getting that many caches
I think I have a few hundred apparel caches... Never opened a single one
Good lord man
I hate having to open so many as well
I just want the textiles so I can get the outfits I don’t have yet lol but it takes ages to open them all
Those kinds of cosmetics have never really been my thing, which I could convert em to something useful instead ^^
Question for shield users, why do 98% of you guys stand in front of everyone to block their shots and then complain because nobody’s able to kill anything, and also run into teammates to push them out of cover?
have you tried strikers shield?
the playstyle is literally "have enemies stand in front of your shield so you can deal more damage"
I think he meant friendlies, stand in front of em so they can’t shoot
again it's how it's supposed to be played anyway, if they complain because of their aggresive playstyle it's their own fault for being too greedy lmao
Exactly, they just body block everyone get downed and whine
I mean the most thing you can do is just help them by being the CC
Pretty much every run in invaded Lincoln memorial I do with randoms who block door spawns and such causes the whole team to wipe
In the kill room especially
They ignore drones and pulse grenades and just mag dump out of cover
Jefferson plaza on the roof and the rooms after do be rough as well with that shield blocking
Good old ignore the sniper dawg!
I mean if it's lincoln you have to know the spawn orders
Still true for other missions tbh
I think my playstyle causes me to get distracted cause I notice when playing people ignore 4 archetypes that causes the team to wipe so I try to get them if I can,
Enemy skills (if they have a weak point I’ll take it out) or if it’s black tusk you can’t mess around and have to take them out unless you have a tank, any grenadier archetype and leader archetype which overcharged the enemies in radius and chungas - at minimum take out the weak point of chungas or have some pin them whilst everyone else as clears… people who go straight for named enemies then turn around and wonder why nothings dead and they are irk me… plus no one seems to use utility skills, ie blinder firefly, most I ever see used is banshee pulse which does produce a hell of an advantage, but there’s others such as the grenades from your spec and shock traps etc
I still can’t figure out if hyena turrets have a weak point
Oh and medics, sometimes when you reload and loom back out you’re like where did all y’all (revives enemies) come from 😂
I wonder if medics can revive enemies you headshot kill like how reanimated disabled their defibrillator
Yes they have, on the top of the turret, visible from the sides
the scope?
Yes they can, even while reanimated is active - but that npc will no longer auto reanimate if killed again (or produce another green cloud if headshot)
The chamber if you would
ah.
The challenges/commendations where you need to finish the mission or certain amount of floors without losing all of your armor is that 1 full armor bar not breaking or not using up all the armor kits you start with
It's your armour bar not being reduced to 0, you can use as many kits as you want.
Does the vigilance perk deactivate if my shield takes dmg?
Nice
when you aren't level 100 in seasons you get given them every time you level up
then they just pile up
this has never happened to me or anyone Ive seen play the game
There should be a feature to be able to gift cache's to other agents if you're in the mood. 😛
I only managed to save 5 until i'm tempted to open them all and i can understand the frustration that there isn't a 'open all' button or key.
I think a button to skip the animation would suffice
and i guess the gift thing would work? I love the idea but would they add it
Yea, that'd be something.
Quick question. Am I able to craft Liberty again? I just bought WoNY and it says level 30, so after the NY campaign it should be weak for that content.
yes as long as you dont have it on your or your stash. other option: you can also just upgrade it to level 40 viva the exotic reconfigure option.
Hello Agents. I just unlocked the firewall specialisation and wondering how I get the upgrade points to unlock its full potential. Is it just having it equipped on my load out? It’s been a while since I upgraded a specialisation. Thanks
Levelling will give you points, as will doing projects. A very good source early on will be doing certain bounties. When you inspect them, they show if that bounty will give upgrade points (usually 3-5)
Do the invaded missions if you haven't
First clear of those gives 3 iirc
Hi i need help i m Level 26 a NEW gamer and need Help by Missions and find new Stuff psn callicalifornien
use whatever spec ur comfy with during the mission. just equip the one you're leveling before you complete it. Do invaded, control points, leveling.
summit boss floor spam can help you powerlevel
Thanks everyone 
So a follow up question, what’s the best order to upgrade it?
The one to the top right first
TY
hi guys, just bought the year 1 bundle thinking i get full access to specialzations tree. am i being stupid here
It unlocks the field research
You still have to earn the points
Ultimate edition gives you all the access to spec tree
Question: if I want to get, say, the Nemesis, I have to wait until the exotic quest is in rotation? I notice the current one is for the Dodge City Gunslinger.
If you want to get Nemesis you have to deconstruct Adrestia Sniper Rifle which you take in a Tidal Besin mission (by opening a room with the key you get during the mission). This is the beginning for the Nemesis hunt. OR, I'm not sure about this one - you can just try weekly projects that guarantee you exotic caches and try your luck there
Got it. I can't access it, it's not Invaded.
You can't access which mission?
Tidal Basin is invaded every week
I think Tidal Basin doesn't even need to be invaded to have BT
It is a BT stronghold
Maybe it's restricted then
Access to Tidal Basin mostly requires the Invaded missions to be completed, (e.g. 3 regular > Stronghold > Tidal Basin)
No, Nemesis is not the Exotic Loot Pool until you collect the Blueprint from GWH.
Ah, yes, that's what I wasn't sure about
does downing a player count as a 'kill'
like does downing someone without eliminating them with a melee activate talents that require kills? like tenacity
or do you have to finish them off on the ground
Gotta go for the kill. Downed, they can still get revived. Finish them.
I know they can still get up, im just confused if I have to finish them off with he gun to activate a talent
If the talent specifically says “kill”, ex. Killer, or the Memento trophies, then you need to get the kill.
Tenacity activates when u down a player with headshot you dont have to kill them
Finisher as well
But vindictive you can activate by downing or finishing the player on the floor
Tenacity - Downs = kills, skills = kills, finishing does nothing other than get u out of combat when no on else is there although if u use adrenaline rush it may be better to keep them for extra procs, and if using firewall do cover to cover, u can survive A LOT of incoming damage
thats not true, the player u down with finisher must die with the pistol in hand before u swap to get the buff.
^ Correct.
Swapping from this weapon within 10s of killing an enemy grants 30% critical hit chance and 30% critical hit damage for 15s.
Generally speaking, if you just read the Talent it'll explain how it works.
Fr? Damn i thought it was down since most of the time i used it on tiki and npcs
My bad
What if they give up when they are downed count as well?
Its just not always that simple, the Eagle Bearer also states 'kill' but it only requires a down in PvP. Just as Sadist says it 'increases weapon damage' which indicates additive yet is multiplicative so the correct wording should be 'Amplify', they did a good job in standardising terminology with WONY but there are a few loose ends still.
I did say "generally", but it's a good note anyway.
Yup what he said ^^. Although for PvE everything matches the talent description except those sadist like talents.
Pvp and raids do change somethings though.
Guys a small question about hunter mask. Its possible to see in the future the veil hunter mask from td1 ?
If I get to lvl 100 on the event, and buy the season pass, do I get all locked rewards ?
@quaint birch There's actually a "Veil" mask in div2 already, it's part of the WONY Hunter set.
I don't recall exactly what they looked like in Div1, but with 25+ Hunter Masks in div2 available at any one time, it's possible to be at least similar.
honestly wish the veil mask had more of a veil, like theres already a reddit post about it
though its mostly just shitting on massive :/
noob question. does the foundry backpack drop in the summit?
does it drop on discovery raid?
im not actually sure
No
i havent done a raid in a year, and i only did them on normal
The chests and backpacks are Normal only
sad days... ty for the help
nononono just wait until tu15 comes out, if youre patient and dont want to do raids your time will come 😄
I have a question - is it possible to get Adrestia sniper rifle again? I mean, I have Nemesis, but a Named Item is a Named Item
is it possible to put td2 on your pc if u had it on your ps4
no...
if you want a sniper why not go for white death
they arent asking for a sniper to use, they are asking if you can get another because as they said "A named item is a named item"
they are a collector, just wanna have it
This is going to sound a little weird but is one bar of armour equal to 1000?
I'm just wondering cos I saw some dude with so much armour, it looked like a fucking barcode
I'd expect it to be A LOT more than 1000
Hey Rivens and AZ
In lv40, one segment of 4 is 250k armor
gad dayum
Yes
Targeted Loot: [Backpack] +Directives, Challenging or above.
That's your ideal method, the location is largely up to you.
Doing targeted backpack, 6 directives and challenging Summit
I'll see if I get lucky, ty all
does legendary improve the quality of items that drop during the mission? I know heroic generally gives better quality than challenging, so is it the same way from heroic to legendary?
Yes
Legendary has the highest chance of giving you godrolls
Given that a lot of them will be rainbow because the game hates you 😃
lmfao alright ty
the pain
i'm new to the game and am almost done with the base campaign. is it better for me to do the world tiers or skip straight to new york after i hit level 30?
Personal preference, tbh. I'd say skip because you'll essentially be grinding for gear the entire time to progress to the next world tier, up until world tier 5 and then you'll be going to NY anyway because there's nothing left to do, so you might as well just go straight for NY.
Storywise - don't skip
Grindwise - skip
the biggest draw to doing the world tiers is probably experiencing the plot that the invaded missions/coney island/camp white oak have, but you can always come back to those later
whats everyones favourite or considered best non-exotic SMG?
how long will the world tier grind take? and if i skip will i be able to replay the invaded missions? i heard that if i skip i can't replay the side missions
might just make a new char for new york since there's no "infusing" gear
the world tier grind takes a few hours. Once you finish it, parts of the map become invaded weekly, so you'll be able to access them that way
