i wait for the background ambient music/noise to change, then keep pressing escape
how long it take ?
what difficulty is countdown set to is it heroic or its own difficulty?
If feels heroic for me, tho I only do automatchmaking
It could be hard tho, since the rogues feel abit more squishy than I remembered
Can the new perk flatline drop on any weapon?
Me never notice...forgot to check for talent, just scrap them haha
is proficiency for hearbreaker broken??
cause im at lvl 10 but cannot activate the the 1% armor bonus
Im having the same issue
Not how it works
Need to level up items to proficiency 10 to Be able to upgrade items upto your expertise rank.
Morning. How deep are you in Expertise?) I'm lvl 5
Did that, however I can't select the unlocked bonus
Are you at least level 1 expertise?
You can level up your gear upto you expertise level, so if you aren't at least level 1, you can't upgrade
Check the expertise menu > hotkey at bottom for tutorial.
Yep
should i deconstruct exotics to use for expertise leveling later on?
There are too many exotics to donate :) Deconstruct, you'll need them later, trust me
@stiff elm are exotic components needed in leveling expertise?
Yes, from 10-th to 20-th levels
Best way to farm chameleon? (Returning player btw) idk what's changed
is the closer and setup exclusive somewhere?
only been getting it from named caches
Target farm for AR on heroic or open exotic caches
Also bounties iirc
Also what exactly does the expertise level change on a weapon?
Main stat
Oh got it
Do you need multiple characters for anything in Div 2, or can you get all specialisations on a single character? (Or are there maybe other reasons?)
You can get all on a single character if you're referring to the different bigger weapons
But unless you have a specific pass you have to work for firewall, Gunner and the technician
So you don't need more than a single character then? Or are there any reasons?
i mean you can get a thing faster if you do it on multiple characters and there is a thing you can do for more points, but you never need multiple characters for anything
the points you get can make stuff easier, and the "thing: is regulus an exotic, which takes a few weeks to get but can be cut down to 2 weeks if you have multiple characters
I see, thanks! 😊
Good morning.
Expertise Is not working in conflict right?
Guys i haven't received my twitch drops? How do we know when we get it?
Anyone got a link to a list of all expertise bonuses for every item in the game?
All weapons get damage, all armour gets more armour, it's only skills that need a list
what about skill tiers
bounties in AR zone or the good ole friend summit
If the skill tier is on a piece of armour (eg, a holster) it gets armour. Your core attributes make no difference to the bonus
oh i thought expertises buffs the core attribute
Nope, just the base armour value of the item. Yes, it's pretty useless in practice.
everybody was making such a big fuss about it too
Ok, this is probably the first and only time I will ever ask this. It's been extremely confusing for me as I constantly get yes and no thrown around with no evidence. With a valid source of proof and all bullshit out the window, does the eagle bearer get added to your loot pool for increased drop rate of randomized drops, targeted loot, exotic caches and the raid it came from itself?
answer is no
the same way ravenous and regulus remain exclusive raid drops even after you get them
same way for the foundry and future initiative backpack and vest
they are raid exclusive for a reason
May I please see a source? I am not saying I do not believe you, just need some evidence.
Eagle Bearer is an Exotic Assault Rifle in Tom Clancy's The Division 2.
It is only obtainable as an exclusive drop from the Operation Dark Hours raid.
Alright, thank you very much. 👍
not anymore for the future initiative and foundrh
gear set items have been moved to general loot pool, exotics are still raid-exclusive
also, I wouldn't trust the wiki as a reliable and up-to-date source of information (although it's not wrong in this case)
Yea I got a future initiative backpack today and I dont do raids
Skills are the ones I'm looking for 😅
There was a list on Reddit but i can't seem to find the post
probably memento exotic backpack
HeartBreaker also
is countdown better than summit for targeted loot?
xp is bad in countdown, but loot is good
Only heroic loot though?
I think about investing a lot of my SHD Points for Proficiency. Has anybody done the math with which resource I got the most "bang" for my SHD Points?
Is it normal after each Countdown that the loading screen just stops at 100%?
I think when I checked during the PTS it was printer filaments that were best.
That was my "feeling" too, but do I burn fast through my SHD Points 😅 😭
I think that one happens when you're waiting for other players to extract (if you go further before the timer runs out), if you wait a bit you'll either find the loading screen goes away of it's own accord or you can hold space to move on
I'll try the holding space thing then next time. But all I had was the tips on the loading screen being stuck at 100% so...I'll try 😄 thanks for answering
Personally I'm saving shd for optimization mats. For donating I just pick whatever mats I'm full on. I'd recommend focusing donations on items you can't level by playing (eg the Enforcer shotgun, if you didn't get it as a pre order bonus)
best way to farm for memento?
How to use countdown conquisition ?
I am gonna hold on to a few shd points for that. But I have 3 characters and between 1000 and 2000 "free" shd points on each of them, so probably gonna speed up the whole thing a little bit 🙂
Hi am new here i found a small - big problem in the recalibration station at recalibration sg. I just wanted to melt 15% weapon damage so that I have this attribute. This is currently only possible with green set equipment items and no legendary weapons - equipment is this currently an error or has something changed in the patch ? Thank you in advance: -)
Hi is anyone else having an issue with the decryption key side missions where Kelso just isn’t there?
Just wait for the next target.
Exotic items can't be recalibrated, they can be optimized or reconfigured (at crafting station)
Morning AZ
thing is I already talked to her and then changed sessions so idk if I lagged out the mission or some shitshow
Reset the manhunt and try again, possibly.
darn thats an ass pain
is the game laging like A LOT for anyone else like if I mag dump someone thay just sit there for like 5 min then die
would the best way to farm up memento to just run countdown with bp and targeted loot?
probably because of the amount of loot drops, otherwise summit or CP farming still great
can you change target loot from countdown?
Yeah. Hover over it on the map and there should be an option to change the target loot
Hello, any information about free weekend ? It supposed to work since 12th of May but I still can't even start the game on epic games
https://img.gg.deals/8a/c6/06ab0ef8f656aa49372c17c4e57fad136f76_1920xt1080.jpg
7 PM UTC for epic
yes but it should be 12th ?
Should I use the Level 30 boost?
If you are a new player, i dont recommend it, if you are already at end game then yes use the boost for your alts.
In how much time do the materials containers reset?
literally have been in countdown for 10 hrs… wit shotguns has my loot… 5 sweet dreams.. 2 scorpions.. 0 back up boomsticks…😑
should i try pistols…..?
It’s classified as a shotgun I believe, even though it’s a sidearm.
Its a shotgun, RNG giveth and RNG taketh
could also be that as a new game mode, they maybe left some items out of the loot pool but no data on that yet.
question, my weapon its "proficient" reached lvl 10) but when trying to upgrade it says not enough proficient level. What do I have to do to upgrade?
Is it me or is the Magazine missing from the GR9 LMG ?
you can upgrade items upto your expertise level, sounds like you are expertise level 0 atm.
that G9 is a know model bug atm
ahh i see.. good to know
you need to level multiple things to proficient rank 10 to level up your expertise level. check out the ingame tutorial on the system (expertise menu > hot key at button tutorial)
alright
Which is messed up if you only play one way 😐
That's the only real complaint I have about this. I couldn't stand that Warframe did that (essentially your main rank there is defined by how many things you've maxed out)
@foggy needlei'm waiting to see people running 6 different green set items to max their proficiency lvl speed
will happened lol
for farming Coyote's mask, Trade Center for boss or Summit with targeted masks & directives?
is the new lmg dare a random drop? or does it get added to your pool after you get it in the pass. Also is the new exotic mask the same? Random or pass unlocked?
the new exotics are in the world loot pool. all the new items are LZ drops
stupid question, when looking at the map and seeing the loot allocation for example "Strike" being for a region where is it more prevalent like at CP or around in boxes?
That is actually an issue with the game
The chests you open outside of these events (the ones just randomly scattered around) have really really shit loot
When you see a zone with targeted loot, do the events marked on your map: control points, broadcasts, supply convoys, whatever else that isn't just exploring for crates
thank you
those world loot chests dont scale to difficulty, they are locked to normal difficulty loot
so when an exotic says it comes from end mission rewards is that only missions like space center or also like open world events?
https://ibb.co/DQ0949K
collected 4 out of 5 SHD caches, why 5th wont appear on my map? 😭
Only actual missions
anyone?
@neat storm are you referring to the New York shd caches?
for those you have to be near the location for it to appear on your map, but you can find the locations on youtube/google search anyway
so whats the fix to get the key to complete the faye lau side mission
still having issues
I have a dumb question
As the season goes on with these 3 new exotics, am I only able to obtain through the pass or can I just grind them out?
I got the catharsis mask from a saved cache. They might be open world though, not sure.
Can you get the exotic lmg bluescreen from countdown with targeted loot, without havent it unlocked?
Whoah! What's with hydden gloves? It's in the proficiency table. :o
Did they add it as a named item?
season pass only ever has exclusive cosmetics locked behind it, all the rest of the pass is just extra "non-exclusive gear or resources rewards"
hydden gloves is a known bug atm its not supposed to be there
any1 is able to start game on free weekend in epic games ?
maybe next season leak.
Q: dose the game for free?
The new Exotics don't have the Reconfigure option, boys?
Can someone at rank ≥97 tell me if the monster skin is for AUG para xs or the enhanced AUG?
Check inaya
Nothing with Inaya, I already went with her... that's why I was asking. I bit confusing she is not giving nothing yet.
Any idea how many kills it takes to reach lvl 10 proficiency with a weapon?
So, bit of an off-topic thing but is it normal to feel so insanely overwhelmeed after only just now getting back into the game and starting at 499 score?
Trying to read up on everything again and remember what I wanted to do originally.
That's probably literally every MMO you stop playing for a bit
I handed the faye lau key in while grouped... it took the key but didn't progress... is this a known bug... and if so is there a fix?
Yeah, check #news-and-announcements
jikes... when is the next maintenence...
Tuesday, probably
ah okay, thanks!
Hiyo, so I just got WONY, do I have to completely go through it before I can unlock the season items?
yes
best heartbkeaker pvp build?
what time does it have to be to do chritmas tree hunters?>
any idea why my man hunt missions arent showing up on the map
i see so the major castillo on ehas nothing for me tho the CPs bounties nothing or is it just do any
u talked to kelso?
yeah
hmm
So I thought levels and shit were normalized in PVP, why am I being melted?
And also barely dealing much damage to enemies.
Because pvp is not balanced great atm and new gear set is mega Damage.
Also Only base armor and base weapon damage is normalized.
@tacit lark did you play the computers
Sorry 1 computer
And New book for Div2 out
I want to farm HB but I also wanna farm blueprints. Is doing heroic overworld with 4 directives on good enough for that?
Yes
Open world CP farming, summit farming and countdown are the top 3 farming methods. (Lincoln mission if target loot lines up too)
Quick question, can you do past manhunts after you finish WONY? I dunno since I just got it lol
Only past manhunt main targets
Hey guys, is there any reason that I am not getting gear dropping at my current Gear Score?
I am currently trying to complete the Black Tusk invasion and I am not getting anywhere because all of the loot is dropping 30-40 gear score below my level.
I am doing both missions and control points.
Like for example, my Gear Score is 288, but I just completed a control point and got a piece at 255.
Hard cap 60 chc. @gentle osprey
Gear score is just means how well the stats rolled, higher rolls means higher gear score.
Also make sure you are in the correct world tier (highest you can do cap is 5)
The game says that I am in World Tier 1.
Check the pins in this channel, it tells how to advice tiers
Ohhhhh.
So I have to complete the District Union Stronghold
And then I will gain access to a higher gear score.
Yup
Would've figured that out if I hadn't crashed or soft-locked the last two times I tried to run it,
@tranquil rune your gear will get better as you complete each wt then when goto wony that all changes
the exotic mask can still drop before you get it in the pass yeah?
I know the named weapons can, not sure about exotics @tacit lark
I think so, don't see why they wouldn't be able to drop
dropped my catharsis before track 90 on the pass
All the exotics are confirmed to drop without unlocking on season track this time
Is the crossplay active or not?
You folks run the summit in heroic or legendary?
How about for farming shd,which activities are most productive ?
There is no cross play
Did the start, explored South Lawn, there is a spot marked Food on mini-map but I go there and nothing. I see a couple of spots with food on ground but there is nothing to do there. Am I missing something?
Exact same ones tbh. Also can do convoys farming but that's garbo for loot.
Ok. CP, summit, and convoys for SHD farming. Heroic with as many directives as possible I guess?
That's were you can pick up that marked resource (food in this case). From the blinking containers there
Highest difficulty with the most directives you can still speed clear on (applies for loot farming too)
can you not use gear set items to boost expertise?
Thanks, did not see any blinking containers but I will have to go back and check, maybe it is level dependent.
You don't boost expertise, you boost proficiency. 2 different things.
Help my hales harbingers bounty is not working
No sadly
soooo, are the new named weapons bugged? seems like theyre supposed to be the new models but theyre old guns?
Had to ctrl+alt+del to get out of the post Countdown loading screen after waiting nearly 10 minutes. So... working as intended?
How many named enemies are there on floor 90
Im in DZ east right now farming for 5.11 but none is dropping for me
when farming overworld cp, should I wait and do other stuff while the supply chests are refreshing, assuming I am going for targeted loot in a certain zone?
Three
what are dog tags used for?
Can anyone clarify this? Why is this even in the game then?
UI changes: Added the “Donate All Junk” button in the main Expertise menu. Using the “Donate All Junk” button from the Expertise menu does not result in donating all the items anymore.
Is the community dead?!?!
I believe it's for convenience.
There was a time in the PTB where you can't just dump all your junk with one button. You had to go into each individual tab and donate them individually.
But, when they added the QOL function, a bug made it so it donated "all" your items, regardless if it was marked as junk or not.
On a different topic:
Why do people consider HB to be op?
Or, well, how is it considered op?
Dios mio, what have they brought upon this cursed land.
That's the right reaction 🤣
can you still get dz exclusives from named caches from the countdown vendor? i know you can from buying named caches from the ge vendor
Suppose if I'm proficiency 10 on a hunter gear set, will I be able to go above the 15% weapon damage main stat? What's the % increase?
I just saw this now. So basically it was removed? I was still trying to see how all the junk I collected not marked as STAR/FAVORITE could be used instead
yeah you can get every named item from named caches.
it does not matter where you buy named cache.
No, no, it's still here, it's just fixed.
I can attest to that because I used the function a few times before I had to leave.
Thx
Is there a way to matchmake with people doing the manhunt ?
I'm matchmaking for random free roam and I end up in NY hah
Where do twitch drops rewards go?
What should I buy with my countdown tokens as a new player
any MOD, with the free weekend, can i earn the friend referral rewards? (my friend is playing with the free weekend)
Alright I got the first manhunt clues done. o_o Now what o.o
Does anybody else game freeze after extraction on 100% loading screen?
yep
@ornate juniper cool,just making sure it wasn't my system
anyone else having manhunt CPs bugging out? Seems to happen with side activities like resource conveys are close by while you summon allies. NPC allies end up fighting the RC npcs, insteading of running to the CP. When they do arrive, it gets stuck on 'friendly hostiles takeover'
How do I get the memento backpack?
I got mine from summit... its honestly just luck on how you get it
just making sure it isnt from a raid or anything specific
Targeted loot for backpacks. I got several from missions too
how low of difficulty can I put lincoln memorial to get true sons tac assesments?
alright, just for future reference, I did story and got one tac assesment, heroic gave 4
yeah, normal will give 1 each +1 difficulty will give +1 assessments,
Hey there folks, I watched 4 hours of Div2 content Thursday and "claimed" all 4 rewards on Twitch, though I don't see them in-game yet. Anyone know where I should be looking when they appear? I'm all connected.
Perfect, thanks
https://imgur.com/a/CJxOs6z how to do this? it almost instantly kills me if I get close to its range
Rush towards it in between pulses, then take cover within range until it hits 100%, then destroy it
Omg it worked, I thought it can't be evaded by simply taking a cover 💀
The more you know 😛
Btw. 29 floors and still no Scorpio, but I got Sweet Dreams ;p
it needs line of sight to damage you, so hiding behind pillars and such when you hear the charge up sound also works
Now I know, thx!
What is floor 10 legendary farm on The Summit? 👀
Well if it's floor 10 I assume it's just the regular XP farm but on Legendary
Help I have done 50 floors now and still haven't gotten the Scorpio exotic shotgun ;-;
Do 50 more floors 😎
hey so I reached lv40 a couple of days ago and now i´d like to get some good gear and if anyone knows which weapon or armor to get and how to pls dm me 🙂
so im doing my hales harbingers bounty but it will not let me complete it the last wave of enemies is like locked in a separate room and it won't open i can't get in they won't come out i'm just stuck
i tried maybe alerting them and then moving but it will not work
Ok summit question do the amount of directives effect loot drop chances?
Or for farming purposes just go in there with just a few because I currently have all on lol
Directives effect chance at target loot, anywhere in the game
Ideal farming is highest difficulty with most directives combo that you can still speed clear at.
Tyvm
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or is pvp just balanced bad? Can't keep from getting killed in two seconds even through my shield
Is the setup backpack DZ exclusive? i've got the closer chest from countdown I believe so I'm just assuming the other is behind the DZ.
what i do after lvl 40 😦
I'm still missing some weapon attachments that say they're from side missions but I've done all side missions?
Nope
Shields got nerfed hard
there are a bunch of hidden side missions that start either from you getting close, or from finding a "questgiver" in the dc area, google div 2 hidden missions there is prolly some guide for it online.
anyone having issues with drops, says im connected but nothing is showing up in ubi inventory
It's a known issue, think we need to wait for maintenance on Tuesday
Nope all the new items are LZ
thanks
where is the countdown vendor?
nvm its next to season vendor if anyone else was wondering
Is the black tusk invasion preventing me from selecting legendary on the capital building?
Yes
Gotta switch mission mode
ty
Is there a better way to find people to play with? I've spent I don't know how much time trying to match on dailies not being able to find others to play with. I even created a new character and still can't find anyone.
Thank you kindly
So if I buy the ultimate edition on a new account will I get the the current season stuff?
Or would I have to spend more to buy it
Does everyone feel like the manhunt mission was more intense than usual?
I enjoyed it a lot but it was pretty wild, gotta catch some rest after that
Weren’t supposed to be changes to how specializations work?, or am I missing something.
That’s gonna be later. That wasn’t ready yet.
How do I continue to farm in an area where I have all the control points?
@tired crest reset the control points via map
oh, thank you
Hello retuning player here ... I stopped playing right after the raids come out and skipped the warlords DLC and trying to get an understanding on where to start ... im lv 30
Feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the new stuff around. Any advice on where to start?
I have one thing to tell you
Do you want to start over?
OR
Play a brand new game?
Well I loaded up my old lv 30 character that had decent gear from back when 😛
That doesn't matter lol
kk
Brand new game in that case, I dont think i would want to start the story all over. Quite honestly I would skip all the solo stuff as much as possible.
Looking to jump on and start grinding stuff with friends, just dont know where to start lol
Well I'll tell you this, you wouldn't be starting the story all over again, you'd be progressing BUT all your gear is irrelevant and trash
And of course you need to fork over some cash for Wony
WONY is half of the fun and without it, not much progression, I'm afraid
It should be reduced this weekend
Rainbow Six Extraction is pretty neat
Worth a look if you're interested in a new game
Evening AZ
Why are you greeting an entire state? 
WONY?
Warlord Of New York
Oh I have that already, bought it a long time ago when it was on special and told myself I would try it out on a riany day ... that day never came until now 😛
Hm ok, I hope you don't have an attachment to any weapons or gear you had
I did... 😩
*sniff Chatterbox no longer the OG / META? 😛
People say it's not good but all you need is to build it right and probably adopt a new play style for that weapon
Ive noticed there this new thing called Manhunts, should I be clearling those first?
Trying to figure out where to start grinding levels and gear with friends 😛
@narrow kraken are you lvl 40 already ? If so, you might want to try harder difficulties+ directives to get that SHD lvl up
Me and friends are all lv 30, we were starting by doing the manhunt thingy. Seems like you unlock stuff by doing those and you level up as well.
Ah, well Keener which is the main WoNY storyline is a Manhunt.
And yeah, you want to do that first, anything else is kinda irrelevant until you're lvl 40 and have completed the Keener manhunt, which will grant you access to the real endgame and most of the current content.
Salute! Anyone know, what's the max expertise lvl at the workbench?
anybody know what dog tags are used for?
Does the new raid drop the new exotics?
the new thing is raid like with a8 people playing, but isnt an actual raid
its closer to summit
Well.. does it?
and the new exotics can be farmed with targeted loot, or you will get it from the seson reward tracks
Oh
or even in countdown
Yay
How do I unlock the heroic difficulty?
are you at either lvl 30 or 40?
just finished 1st manhunt, where is the key?
I'm supposed to unlock data with Lau's key but didn't see a key
was it at DCD hq?\
if you have fully completed the manhunt, you can check on the manhunt tab in the map screen if major castillo is crossed out, then you are as far as you can go right now, as the next targets unlock with time
it poping up like it is a active sidequest is just a bug for now
no
unlucky
☹
i dont know what else you want me to say
its just that you are unlucky, not much else to say
Are the new named weapons broken?
Dare is supposed to use GR9 model right? Seeing as Dare can use the GR9 skin. (It's using Stoner LMG model)
And Kingbreaker is supposed to use TKB-408 model? But somehow Kingbreaker can't use Ladybug skin... (Using one of the AK model)
How to get more points for specialization i forgot
invaded missions, level up
This game has transferred me into 3 different servers in the span of 10 minutes while in the White House. Is this a known issue?
Spawned in Europe, then US Central, and now US East
I'm only noticing this since I'm opening my menu, who knows if there were more
and none of them are my home server
what is going on with the servers?!!??!
whats the fastest way to farm attachments just cp4s?
fastest is cp3, as they drop blueprint aswell, but you wont get as good loot
I got ultimate edition last night if I take the things I got from the add ons from my grants will I be able to get them on another campaign as I started on warlords of new York and would like the items on main campaign
Question about co-op:
If I (Level 8), join a friend (Level 1), and complete their co-op missions: Am I still receving XP and gear? Will I be "permanently" out of reach for them until max level?
depends on if i understood this right, you gave gotten some items on one character and want to move them over? if that is the case you have to play for a bit on that new character till you reach white house(for base game) or haven (for WONY) and there you can put the items into your stash, the stash is accountwide so you can take it out on your other character.
Lower lv person base stats scale upto higher level person so you and play together. Gear is unchanged though.
How's the experience from mission completion and kills handled?
Will I just continue to stay ahead of them?
depends on for wich weapon type you are after, but for most it is either from side missions or from getting blueprint from various tasks.
here is a page with all the mods and their sources : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nrPBmOrtpkEW1j5fbcRT7L-AXgsGOqMqxXoVtopsiGM/edit#gid=1283569496
I took my ruthless out if I put it in the stash at haven will I be able to get it when I start a new agent for main story?
yeah, that new character can grab it after you do the prologue part with him, and reach the stash at the whitehouse
its all shared, he will catch up slowly because he will be scaled to your level minus 2 and get xp as if he is that lvl, while his requirements for lvling are his actual lvl. but you will probably be ahead of him till 30.
okay thank you man greatly appreciate it
awesome - thank you!
I dont have the crafting station how can i unlock it
Always crash during the countdown, how to fix this ?
Probably too soon to ask this, and I'm assuming it's just another 'feature'. But Captain Lewis' reward isn't another Blue Screen is it? Seeing as for all past seasons, we got unique gadgets as manhunt reward, and we can already obtain Blue Screen from Season 9 reward track.
I think the reward is bluescreen reconfigure blueprint
Oof. They really didn't want to work on this update.
With how blatant / obvious some bugs and issues S9 has, I honestly would count ourselves lucky if we're gonna get a patch to address any of it.
||To unlock crafting in The Division 2 you'll have to complete the Grand Washington Hotel story mission you receive from the Theatre settlement. Doing that will let you recruit Inaya al-Khaliq who'll relocate to the White House and becomes the crafting person||
Hey I was wondering about a ridgeways pride bug, I completed the project and everything but the blueprint to craft the chest piece isn’t there
Does it give u another project am I missing something??
Nvm had a slow moment 😐
Very thx bro
Okay, Now my next problem is I crafted the exotic rigways pride and the blueprint isn’t showing up in Inya’s thing
Try logging out then back in
Thx
What is the cap for expertise level
There's no "real" cap as the max expertise level will always be determined by the amount of items in the game. Right now it's somewhere around 20/21. People actually reported different max levels with all items being proficient, which is probably a bug, though.
is catarsys exotic mask dropping in countdown ?
Whole day tryin but not lucky … wondering if that’s a dz exclusive drop
Unless they changed it this season, you need to get it first for it to go into your general loot pool, otherwise it will not have a chance to drop anywhere. You get the mask once you reach level 90 in the season track.
Thank you. I got the blue screen and the edict exotics from the countdown drops, before reaching their levels in the season track tho
So I was wondering if that may happen also for the mask lol
Actually, yeah. The Known Issues thread in the forum says "All three new exotics are dropping in the loot pool.", which I suppose they shouldn't. So, technically, you should be able to farm for it even if you didn't have one yet - at least until they fix it. Guess it's just bad RNG if you haven't gotten one yet
Aight I’ll keep on farming. Thank you bro.
Np. Though, if you're so desperate to get your hands on the mask, you'll probably get it faster by just levelling up your season level
How does the expertise system work? Do we have to farm all the stuff again? Haven't played TD2 in 2+ years
gotten catharsis mask dropping in a generic black tusk mission
At what proficient out of 344 we reach expertise level 20?
How works farm of 10th floors?
What happens after extraction on the new game mode? My game keeps getting stuck at the loading screen after extracting
Hold ESC
It just bypasses that screen, then it loads again
That said, after you extract there is no more loot to get or enemies to kill, right?
Once you extract, you’re done
is there any sort of requirement/recommendation for the floor 10 farming? i'd like to get shd levels but dont want to join groups if im too weak
DPS build usually works fine as the more experienced players typically take over the CC/Status roles.
Ok hello everyone I am new to the game and I have a question to ask would you recommend going for side quests first before main or go straight through main story first then come back to sides?
thank you, i don't have the best gear setups yet but i just didn't want to mess things up or ruin runs for others before i give it a shot
My progress says Side Missions 30/36, but when I click in I don't see any uncompleted side mission in the list ?
Also why is Roosevelt such a popular mission ?
today is it's daily mission
the common recommendation is to save up your early sidequest up till you reach the point later on where you will have done all your current main missions but arent at the level yet to do your next mission. then you use the side missions to fill up the gap, but also dont worry about it too much as even if you "waste" them by doing them early, there are plenty of ways to gain xp to make up for it.
Any tip for finding the bounty target? I always walk in circles for a long time before getting to them
Maybe, but it's always a popular mission for matchmaking
it's fun , on legendary
it's the only one who doesn't feel like a chore
@fair bone
where can i make bugreport? only in ubisoft support?
Ok so making sure I got it right, for end game I go around and like collect exp, random gear, reconstruct that gear to get components and then craft better gear (maybe) on random roll?
I'm usually a solo playerr.
Hello, im having trouble activating hunters for the 12 masks, i tried on 2 differents hunter and nothing pop
Which ones in particular?
Thanks ill start playing more attention to legendary missions, matchmaking is faster these days until the update wears off
So, the bounty for Castillo isn't selectable. Restarted my console, restarted the game, everything. Went into the map, then Bounties, only one is selectable and it's not yellow. Am I missing something obvious?
Not really,crafting is not big here. Mats are for donation mostly. You play activities to get random loot until you get the piece you're looking for with a 75% of the best roll (say, one max roll attribute, another high roll attribute, one shitty attribute), then you recalibrate one out the shitty attributes or the specialization,and finally optimize the high roll attribute to max. That's how you get the best piece. Start playing activities that target the brand you want.
Thank you I'll start trying to..understand what it is I NEED now. nods to the internet!
In case anyone else goes through this, I reset the manhunt and it fixed it
So having max cap on most materials is..common at this point? Cuz weekly donation of food and screws is all done...and I'm still drowning xD
spend it on the proficiency system, and get some profi lvls on stuff you arent planning on running to lvl up
Np, no need to chase god rolls though. Some people are in the minmax endgame but truth is the game is super fun all by itself, and there's such a large variety of weapons and skills and gear pieces that I'd start trying them out and seeing which one feel better to you. Once you get a feel for the differentkind of pieces, you can take the ones you find fun and start working on your build.
Hey what's the best method for me to get the Catharsis exotic mask?
Same as 90% of loot in div2:
Targeted Loot: [Mask] +Directives, Challenging or above.
So that's what I was thinking, but I saw somewhere that I already needed to have the BP unlocked to I could get it to drop in my pool. Guess that's not true and I just gotta get lucky?
@inner tendon
Yeah if it's not a Raid Locked exclusive, and not part of a Project (before you get the Blueprint), you should be able to just go farm it out.
Awesome. Thank you! @inner tendon back to summit I guess haha
(it's gonna be another momento fiasco all over again... So many hours....)
i got a question does anyone know how to get the .45 acp extended mag blueprint
IIRC it's locked (mainly) to CPs at Lvl 3 or 4.
So in this case, go for Control Points as Challenging or Heroic and start farming.
There's a full list of all available Blueprints in div2 at the Crafting Table (+location of where to get them) if you're confused.
thanks
another question from me as well, is summit or countdown better for farming loot?
I find summit to be more laid back, i can just chill and grind. I also find it to give more XP. Countdown i get more focused loot drops, its more intensive and gives less xp. So idk
you have the right answer there already, there are a few other ways to get targeted loot faster than countdown mostly involving some cheesing. but the xp is bad to ofset it for now
Does anyone know someone who has an xbox and dont have the division 2 yet im tryna do the refer a friend to get the stinger hunter outfit and got to refer them to buy the game and we have to play 3 mission together plz if anyone know someone my gamertag on xbox caposkis and my ubisoft account is Altavion235 thank you? just text me and me as a friend.
You've already asked in the right area, just have patience.
alright. Appreciate the response, back to grinding summit with my music lmao
patience?! in this economy?!
is there a table of how much proficiency you need for each expertise level?
Hey guys I was wondering how you go about actually farming Summit floor 10? Like what's the method?
does anyone else getting too many crashes and delta-3?
it's built into the user interface, when you look at your level in the expertise tab; it's 100 proficiency levels in anything per experise level
below your expertise level, it should list "xx/100"
If you were a named Cleaner...and I needed to "arrest" you where would you be for SURE? 🤔
i just reached expertise level 4 and it seems it's 200 proficiency to get to level 5. so is there a table of how much harder it progressively gets?
Seeing as Dare and Kingbreaker's weapon model is straight up bugged and broken. Would it be safe to assume Bluescreen's model is also broken? Seeing as how all exotics we have ever had, has a unique model, whereas Bluescreen is literally Stoner LAMG with a black paint job...
i doubt anybody's made that table yet
What
how does the kingbreaker compare to the meta ARs?
how does the appearance thing work cause i would really like the new chest piece uzina but i have no clue how to
Once you loot the item, it's added to your transmog library. Don't need to keep the items either. Doesn't work on exotics though.
i have it but i don't got the appearance for some reason
wait does it matter if i picked it up from the season pass?
Hey guys with this new update can I still play faye laos mission and all the previous bosses from previous seasons?
Lvl 13 expertise. It's still 200 proficiency lvls per 1 lvl
Does armor on kill take current bonus armor into account?
Why named items over non named. In this case specifically contractors gloves over battle gloves.
if you mean % armor on kill no
contractor gloves gives a new multiplier , damage to armor , instead of just crit
a new modifier will give you more value as too much of 1 thing is bad
the same way too much of different multipliers don't go along because you won't have a base
got it cheers.
Can Hunters hack Artificer Hive?
I'm not sure where to ask this but is there a bug with getting the inverted leather holster part to drop for the dodge city holster? cant seem to get it to drop after doing over 10 lvl 4 cps for true sons, did the other 2 and the parts drop every time?
Hey guys, just coming back to the game on PC this time
Can someone refresh me where does tardigrade drop ?
is it still true sons with chest piece targeted loot misions ?
Yo, does anyone know why the friend referral isnt working? I had a buddy of mine try to do it, but it doesnt seem to want to work.
What's the best way to get resources to fix my gear I'm just getting into the game so still trying to figure out the builds and stuff out
Hello!
Anyone have tips on returning player ( lv30) trying to start farming with friends. Where do we start?
All non raid exotics are in the normal loot pool so farm target loot.
Go-to your backpack and select the resource, it tells you what you need to farm.
Keep doing that story untill you get to world tier 5 and or level 40 with dlc. End game is when you want to farm. (Check the pins in this channel)
try countdown you can set target loot to practically any in specific for farming
is there a new material? I'm trying to upgrade a weapon and I don't have this material that I need to upgrade it.
No new material this update
Is changing from normal to hard better xp? global setting wise or am I just spinning my wheels for the same rewards? xD
yes for better xp rewards
Cuz the displays reads "+0xp" when I switch from Normal to Hard so I was thinking it wouldn't be worth it globally and just switch to hard when i do missions?
The overall quality of the Enemy Loot increases with each difficulty, with Challenging and above Enemies only dropping Gold/Gearset/Exotic loot.
Hmm I shall give it a try, I'll have to recapture all my control points again if I recall. But maybe it'll be fun..
whats the best way to farm max rolled gear mods? been doing targeted loot with countdown but the rolls are pretty low
is there a list of good builds just so I know what I need to work at geting
There's some builds on the spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice
thanks
Did they ever give us a way to rewatch cinematics we may have forgotten?
I do not think so.
but I would like to have some cutscenes or cinematics rewatched again
has hb kind of obsoleted hf?
kind of but HF is still good
yeah that was my gut feeling after watching my 3 blue 3 red core hb outparse my 6 red focus lmg
HB is.... very very good right now
HB is broken OP atm, and outclasses all other builds (if after max dps)
HF still the best in its zone...
HB 4-piece would work well if stacks could only be gained from cover, and lost when leaving it. Right now it's just run and gun with an LMG like MF Rambo lol
Hmm
HB does ~75% more dps then meta red and HF was close to meta red for dps.
if I already have the base game, are there anything that will unlock for me during the free weekend?
are you able to join a different clan on a new agent or do you have to stick in the same clan for that agent too
on armor, is expertise only buff the % armor? there's no other stat than that?
it's been 4 days since i claimed drops from twitch but it's still not in my game is that normal?
not if using Headhunter
Server look like better today
am i onlyone whos game keeps crashing?
Not only you
I just crashing 🙂
At least it's better than yesterday
they have more resistance to status effects
yeah I noticed that too, apparently some hunters have more resistance than others.
How do I get the Dread edict blueprint?
Dread edict is a drop based exotic, unless you meant the reconfiguration blueprint
ya reconfiguration. where do i get it?
Check the kind lady near the crafting bench
there's nothing
Has the actual exotic dropped for you? Just wondering? Cuz I'd have no clue too
Got my scorpio reconf. BP from her
I don't think the reconfiguration blueprints for the new exotics are available at the moment (may be fixed tomorrow)
No i just unlocked it from track/ perhaps the blueprint unlocked after i get the drop may be?
that make sense though.
how can I updrage my proficiency?
By using the item and or leveling it by donations
mine said proficient. how do i upgrade it?
By using the expertise menu, you can buff your item through there upto your expertise level (check out the in-game tutorial at the menu, hot key at bottom)
Check the last message in #news-and-announcements part of the known bugs that’ll be fixed
how is the new set(heartbreaker)? is it good for pvp/pve?
its bonkers OP AF at the moment
hmmmmmmmmm how should i build it? like how much crit rate/dmg weapon armor that kind of things
by armor i mean how many blue cores
I'm using full red, but people usually go for 3+3 or 2+4. I don't know.
backpack and chest on right?
Coyote and Ceska with Vigi talent.
On hb i recalibrated blues to red cores with chc and chd.
4 HB + coyotes and ceska backpack with vigilance stack crit, if after max dps. + ACS shotty for stacking 4r 2b is sweet spot imho.
isnt the backpack worth?
im confused. really. so how do I increase my expertise level then?
I accidentally donated all materials and made my item proficient.
expertise level increases by becoming proficient with weapons and gear
backpack can be worth it since set already does a lot of dps.
its like 2x
2x what?
the buff
correct.
changes from 1% to 2%
its exactly 2x. (aka double)
should i run fox's prayers?
not for gear sets
oh so i can squeeze a bit more crit rate and crit dmg from other sets
if after max dps, ceska + coyotes is highest. Gear sets lack crit, so you need extra chc to catch up
Fox and contractors are only good if you dont lack chc for crit builds. (then they are great)
yeah gotta run a ceska knee
and get another red core
im doing like 1.2mil with eb max stats but im sure my build is dodo
gotta make a full red for raids too
technician or firewall?
did they nerf insync? i heard it no longer activates with the shield
shields no longer proc it but still a great talent.
technician is a big QOL buff viva the tech laser and extra skill tier and firewall is more dps with the striker shield.
finished the 1st manhunt and turned in the first key
do I get the 2nd key after 2nd manhunt?
yes, each manhunt target will drop a key, 2nd will unlock in 2weeks, it still pops up as a side mission now annoyingly, but is just has to be ignored for now
thx iKia, I just found that answer on ubisoft discussions, I hope they do a special maintenance to fix these bugs
what is the best way to get rikers tactical assessment?
How does project regulus' mat acquired? Should I do the raid 1 time / week for each part or just 1 run and u will get on single run?
Do the raid, get the projects.
Finish the projects. Get Regulus project.
Do raid again on a fresh run after the reset. Each boss will drop a piece, be sure to collect the keys throughout as you’ll need to open the chest at the end for the final piece.
single run on weekly reset
Oh nice i only need to wait for my raid reset and get carried by raiders again 🙏
Eh ikia? Wrong reply?
yeah sorry
Np
running rikers bounties or missions, if you are decently high shd you can also lvl up an alt to spend the shd points on it for crafting them out
Ikia, how does alt works. When they finish aaron keener mission, Did the alt got all the scavange points bonus from shd?
Or u need to level up the main first so the alt could get it too?
I think for the other tactical assessment items you'd just use the SHD points to get the other raw materials so you can craft it?
if I'm getting this correct
the shd level is account wide, but points spent are per character, so yeah once you do run wony and get the watch, that new character will have new points to spend
one thing to keep in mind though is that at shd 1000, 800 points are locked to the other 4 subcategories, and cant be freely spent on scavenging
and for it to be worth your time, you want to be atleast lvl 1k-ish, so for those 2-3hours work you get 200 points atleast
and from then on also whenever you lvl one, that lvl carries over to all your alts, so you get to spend 2 or 3 or 4
and once you spend all the points, if you delete the character, it opens a slot up again, where you can redo wony and get the points again,
any new named gears?
Can de fox prayers kneepads also drop in the summit, someone knows?
thanks
they drop everywhere not limited to pvp
yw
Are the new exotics in the loot pool? I've been grinding bit no luck on getting any
is it possible to get a kingbreaker from target loot? I got a bunch of Dare LMGs and not a single kingbreaker((
Yes, just keep farming ARs
And exotic mask too
Is anyone having problems when trying to mod a heartbreaker chest piece?
yes @echo vale
so i am playing division 2 right now but it says server restarting in an hour
that means the game will shut down in the middle of it even if am playing?
Afternoon AZ
It is very strange.
has anyone found the fix to modding heartbreaker chests or kneepads?
Think it is just a bug that they need to fix, don't think we can do anything.
if I make my control points green,
can my friend still join me and do the manhunts still coming up, without doing them on my map ?
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good starter build to go for (for a new player to the game) who mostly plays duo/solo? (I've been looking through the reddit post of Builds a bit, but obviously still not quite sure what I'm looking at there) 😅
you cant do the manhunts if the control points are green. will have to reset them or join someone else who doesnt have green ones.
lots of options, check out the build guides in the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice @kind bison
So what's the difference between improvised and brand equipment? And when I'm trying to get a basic build running to tide me over until I can get something better should I go for a brandset or improvised?
improvised has no brand bonus but has a mod slot on gloves, knees and holster.
brand has a special brand set bonus and is always better then improvised.
Mhm! Thank ya.
does the 7.62 sturdy extended drop from CP’s?
@foggy needle ty for answer, also I am sure black Tusk will try again...
yes, you can also check the crafting bench and it tells you were to get all the weapon mods.@worldly edge
Yes I just got the mask from a cache
Why people feel the need of cheating in this game?
just noticed countdown give shd calibration, is it just per run? didnt actually know it gave any other optimisation stuff than what the hunters drop and they dont drop shd as far as ive noticed sofar?
@oak talon What are the things hunters drop actually for?
the dog tags they drop increase howmany coins you get at the end of a run, and they drop alloys, weaves and tactical assessments for optimisation
turns out the chest give SHD calibration, thats is where it was coming from, 1 for small chest and 3 for the main objective one, none i asked knew this sofar, is this commonly know, cause i feel this is actually a really good deal as shd calib was always the hard one to get
Just happened again, lvl 12000 that doesn't know how to do a mission....lvl 3000 that doesn't know how to do a mission....what's wrong with all these cheaters? Is ubisoft aware of it? Kind of trashi cheaters tbh
Those aren't cheaters, just people who spam farmed convs for XP.
It's why SHD level is a bad metric for judging skill/ game knowledge
hey i finished the mission but didnt get the faye lau second key... is there something i need to doo ?
i already did everything for castillo twice now and didnt get it in the both times
Wait for the next manhunt target
on ps4, is there a way to NOT show to signature weapon dps when just looking at the loadout screen?
I couldn't care less what that things dps is, i want to see my normal guns stats.
Or do i have to switch loadouts and open the equipment menu to see it
for the refer a friend if I become my friends recruit do we both get the stuff or just him?
both of you
Just changed my global setting to hard. I'm nervous but wish me luck! 😄
You got this, Agent. 
where do i spend the countdown coins ?
There's a requisition vendor next to the Seasons bench outside the White House. You can spend your Countdown points there. It's just a table with a computer, no human vendor btw
There's also one in Haven buuuut I spend more time in DC, so I'm unsure where that one is specifically
what is the shotgun that has septic shock on it called? and what does it do?
also what exactly does the artificer hive do? I dont really understand the in game explanation
Anybody discovered what Hunter Dog Tags are used for from Countdown? Can't find an inventory slot for them in the resources tab 
Evening Rivens
Weapon mods only apply to that weapon right
Yes
So are the green set items more or less obsolete now, or do they still have some use?
cheers mate
Silly question, im in the new Warlord map and been looking for hours now on where to go to change your signature weapon ... I know originally it was in the Whitehouse but cant access it yet.
Anyone know where to go?
Do I keep my traits from the recalibration library if I switch characters?
So curios, I am full of items, what do I do with my lv 30 weapons and stash now?
donate them if you can or scrap them for materials
unless you're talking about exotics you can upgrade them with the crafting bench
is the weekly raid resetted?
later in the morning US time
Good Morning USA
Where do you donate low level non exotic weapons?
expertise in recal table
oh wait no you can use those to fill your talent recal library first
why dont u dismantle it for exotic component?
Uh dumb question but I actually am second guessing myself after years of div 1 and 2. Is DTTOC +damage when YOURE out of cover, or when the ENEMY is out of cover?
Enemy
My friend bought division 2 on Friday and I tried to give him my friend referral link and he cant use it, on that webpage it says that he should be able to accept it since he is still in the 7 day time period
Not a dumb question at all. You should check #td2-general-chat from time to time if you want to see some real stupidity 😂
like dude ive been playing this franchise for 6 years now and it just hit me today that i might have been reading that wrong the whole time
the real target out of cover was the friends we made along the way
how do I get different attributes onto armor
wondering why i cant hear other players in DZ anymore?
So uh I heard that Fox's Prayer are REALLY REALLY GOOD- Is this a good roll? #td2-build-advice message
What’s the best way to farm momento I switched to pc and lost all my exotics rip
It's just a normal exotic, so farm target loot
Yes that's pretty decent, roll off skill haste to ChD
Sorry do you mean just target backpack I'm general ?
In general
pretty much. but run challenging/heroic summit with directives for higher chances
Any advice on easy directives to apply ?
fog of war: map will not show position of loot and enemies, very easy to combat with plus it helps you practice your spacial awareness
ragers: depending on how far away an enemy has been killed, nearby enemies will receive a building buff of extra health. for example: if 2 enemies are killed very nearby 1 other ai, that 1 ai will receive 50% to the extra health buff per enemy. very easy to understand, doesn't make enemies too hard.
hard to earn: armour kits can only be earned from filling up the signature weapon stack. in other words, enough kills will earn you a plate. armour kit boxes are however disabled.
special ammo: certain enemies of a certain faction will have special ammo. hyenas will have disorientation rounds with can really mess you up if not careful. outcasts and cleaners will have incendiary rounds so be aware how much armour you have before running up on them. true sons will have high velocity rounds which will cause bleeding. and the black tusk will have disruptive rounds which will disable your ability to use SHD skills for the duration of the debuff. as for the rikers, i can't remember what form of ammo they'll have but i'm gonna say high velocity since their armoury is pretty much stolen from the police force and military.
these four are very easy to get the hang of and are highly suggested. there is a few more but you can just read through em and make your choice. 👍
Thank you, I'll try them out
Happy to help. 
I came back after dropping the game long time ago, so I am kinda new. For this new optimization bench, I deconstructed high end weapons and tried to get materials but it's dropping me nothing. For e.g. [Rifle material - 00] Why is that?
Are the three new exotics dropping in the loot pool right now ?
13% protection from elite is still dropping? Where can I get one?
What's the cap of Countdown tokens?
hey so I am trying to make heartbreaker gloves with 15% weapons dmg and 6% crit chance and I just recalibrated them to have crit chance and I am trying to put the weapons dmg on them but it won't let me and yes I do have it in my library
You can only recalibrate 1 attribute per piece of gear
Basically yeah
well then guess I am going back to count down
Or have high crit chance and then optimise that crit chance to max
I have like zero mats to optimize with
I wish you luck then! 😊
ya who knows maybe I will get lucky
it wouldent be as bad if I could drop it with weapons dmg as the core
hi all where can i find the blue screen blueprints ?
Eh its not so bad, gear set pieces are arguably the easiest stuff to farm as they only have 2 attributes for RNG to play with
You would get it from Inaya but it looks like all of the new exotics don't have blueprints atm 🤔
Season pass I believe
heheartbreaker only has 1 attribute
Including core
oh ya
but I am going to set that to weapons dmg anyway so I only need to worry about getting max crit chance
Yup
hope we can see this in next update
🤞🏻
So I'm using teal gear sets from when I left a while back due to health issues.
Am I needing to ditch these and go to the new exotics? Cuz I had a full set of bulwark and .. weapon handling I think
Only ditch them if you want to
How do I fix the crashes? Tried turning it down from dx12 to 11 and it's still crashing.
you don't have to ditch them
but chances are there's way better builds you can do very easily
if you want some builds or advice or stuff about them ask in #td2-build-advice
Heartbreaker seems to be a worse version of Striker's
Catharsis seems somewhat useless as the only place youll take that much damage and survive is normal mode xd, or am i missing something from the description?
the Exotic SVD seems ait
Bluescreen seems to not require 50 stacks but a kill to get the most benefit... but isnt it better to just murder the enemy in the time it takes?
Better strikers.
better? hol up
Strikers doesnt give you armor.
So I wanted to use my friend for the friend referral and he bought the game on Friday, it says online I should be able to still invite him as a recruit since it’s before the 7 day since first login but I can’t. Any help?
Better damage than strikers and better armor gain, just gotta pulse the enemy.
Heartbreaker currently broken OP atm. out dpses meta red by 75%
it'ß the best set in the game ;_;
i put the stacks into a calculator thats a lot of bonus damage...
they multiply with themselves too
also i just did laboratory in countdown solo with it
it really is like argo never left
it faster if someone gives u a yes or no to a question
tell u what if i see him ingame ill say hi for u
whats his IGN?
Can I save a Summit floor by loading it on another character?
So I get to floor 100 on char 1, I load in char 2 (with help of a friend) then finish floor 100 with char 1
Could I load summit on the 2nd char and be at floor 100
Can’t tell if this is good or bad
will there be a division 3?
Probably not
Hopefully they keep updating division 2 rather than creating a whole other game
That’s the point of a live service game
Afternoon Aspect and AZ
Can someone help ? These crashes are ruining my enjoyment of the game. Especially when I do something for 20minutes and get close to finishing it only for my game to crash. 5 minutes ago it froze my entire PC, so I had to restart it. Any help ?
@lime fossil Have you heard about Division Heartland? it's supposed to come out this year. I'm guessing from the title that it will be set in the midwest somewhere.
I don't play on my PC, but have you tried a complete reinstall? I would think that would have all patches properly installed.\
I just checked the release of Division Heartland has been moved to March 2023
Division: Heartland - Over on Xfire, Tom Henderson claims to have reliable sources that say the game will take place in Silver Creek, an open-world style map with a run-down ice rink as your base of operations. While no definitive time period has been confirmed, signs point toward the game taking place in the present day.
I just tried to set the OVERALL graphical settings to medium. Seems to be working "so far" ... we'll see
how to get kingbraker when i dont want to farm pass ?
Is there anyone who has the catharsis mask who would be a legend to drop me 1? It's the final piece to my build and season is taking forever
Not sure if everyone is already aware of this, but: at the moment, it appears that gaining proficiency ranks by playing with gear instead of donating gives double the progression to global expertise levels (just been testing it and it does appear to be true). This means that by donating, you're effectively reducing the maximum expertise level you can reach (and therefore the amount by which you can upgrade stuff)
also means the max proficiency rank currently attainable is rather higher than the ~25 we thought based off the PTS
Playing with gear certainly makes it seem faster to gain proficiency since it's so natural anyway. No need to stress about mats or anything which is great 😂
yeah but how many players are now just donating all their junk items? Do they realise that by doing so they're irreversibly reducing their potential maximum expertise? If it's intended behaviour, it really should have been made more obvious to players
So I stopped donating junk because I heard we weren't getting as much XP as intended, but how would that also reduce potential max expertise?
yes, for the moment (seems like a bug that should be fixed though)
Ok thanks
Afternoon Kettle
hey saph
anyone else missing gear parts in the know how section of the recalibration station? My ceska viroba vest is missing - it's in my inventory and does'nt show up
does the game always crash if you successfully extract in Countdown? Endless loading screen
Esc -> hold esc as soon as the 2nd screen comes up
what's the quickest way to level shd/specialization levels?
Floor 10 farm in summit
Or since it's this and next week; leagues with world directive
And of course there's also supply convoy spam
Where can I get the blueprint to re roll the stats on the new mask?
Is the season pass locked behind a level or something? I can’t find it…
its level 40
Surely this is a bug then
Can DZ exclusive loot be found in countdown ? Heard many say they’ve gotten The Gift, TDI Kard Custom and other things from countdown
crashing problems on pc??
no, its only LZ nameds, there has not been one claimed drop shown to be true, currently people are also getting caches from the season and that is usually the culprit
what you do get from countdown is the ability to buy named caches at the countdown vendor for the coins you get in the mode. those can contain any of the named items, dz and lz
isn't kard dz
Does anyone know the cap for the hunter tags countdown requisition ?
the named kard, the tdi kard custom, is a dz item yeah
seems "uncapped", people are already in the 5 digits so atleastthat if it turns out to be capped
Thanks
I have around 10.5 days played on Div 2 but am only SHD 230... Is that low? Im usually the lowest level in a game
So quick question, is there any point to fill the recalibration library below lv 30 if your lv 40?
SHD level is irrelevant. I always see them as a gauge of how active the player is. The higher the SHD level, I'd assume they have more time to play or found a way to cheese levels. It also doesn't mean better playing at higher levels. I've seen players with SHD levels above 3000 but they can't play properly. Treat it with a grain of salt. Play at your own pace and have fun
Im just wondering if its normal ig, not very important as its only like 10-20% buffs which isnt too crazy
Maybe someone else can advise, but I can't personally say. But over 200 levels in less than two weeks of gameplay is kinda cool
build matters MUCH more then shd level.
Or should I just just deconstruct all my lv 30 armor / weapons?
I personally didn't bother, and I'm unsure if that transfers to a second character too. I never bothered to start a new agent
Kinda on the same boat, I have no interest in starting a new character but I was unclear if there was any other point in collecting all these stats from my old gear or just scrap my entire stash and start fresh with lv 40 gear.
Did they patch floor lvl 10 in the summit the boss isn't dropping loot?
It’s bugged
No they didn’t
I saw a lvl 12,000 yesterday. And I saw a lvl 16,000 a month ago
I farmed it like 5 times and he only dropped loot once
The lvl 12,000 had the most random gear on so I think he had just lvled up an a new character
Are you going to lobby or dying? @dawn flame
Dying
You are doing the xp farm, not the loot farm. To do the loot farm you have to go back to lobby after killing the boss. And make sure not to kill all the enemy’s just focus boss when he comes out
I would recommend floor 90 for loot
Ok thank you that makes much more sense.
Np
Do hunters scale with difficulty? ie are hunters in normal mode easier than hunters in heroic mode?
Yes
How do I get premium credits besides buying them
if i buy this game through stadia, what are chances i can get into a populated co op server
Stadia + PC have crossover, so pretty good!
how do i farm dz resources? and how long would it take to get to 150 resources?

if all the main missions are complete in NY, am I finished with that campaign? I'm returning from long enough to not remember much... I don't "think" I finished it, but dont know what next
if you open your map, and go to the manhunt tab, it will show keener if you havent completed wony yet, also it will show what part is left
if you see major castillo there you have completed WONY
so I did complete it then... Thank you
welcome to end-game fellow agent

Obliterate and vigilance talents
With fast hands on weapon
Weapons :carabine 7 famas 2010 police m4, with damage to target out of cover attribute
@nimble spruce i just tested this as well, indeed you get 2x progression on proficiency from playing with gear...
better use this chance guys
Best way to farm steel
Y'all got any tips for a fresh 40?
no spreadsheet pinned here. what channel is it?
Build advice
Oh wait
It got removed
It was written by somebody whowantes their stuff off the spreadsheet
Ripppp
yeah, I just see the build/etc spreadsheet
Thats the spreadsheet
But above the builds were a guide
So basically
Don't get scared, play on hard and try to play challenging as fast as you can
Get a build together
Keep any item with max roll as you need to get it off from it to get your recalibratipn library
Once you extract a ro from an item it gets destroyed
This is a one time process ass you can use the stats from library for eternity
Yeah, I have a pretty decent understanding of how that works. spent a bunch of time extracting talents from all my level 30 stuff
oh really? thats rough lol
I'd say to get a build to be able to do stuff easy
A skill build is easy to put on
Yeah, i've been following the turret skill build from that spreadsheet somewhat loosely while I was leveling
Cool
just trying to figure out like what I should be doing for gear farming, shd farming, general gearing etc
New Chars. Over and over. Till you max all expertise. Than quit division 2
get a better gear first. since u will get the shd level while do a target farming.
and when u have solid build, u can go for summit10f for farming, or doing raids, or just do the seasonal things.
Oh whoops, I said gearing twice. One of those was meant to be exotic farming >.<
the best exo farming is the donation weekly + summit clear 30 floor
gotcha. is the summit 30 something you can repeat or is it a weekly thing?
But Is per charachter
or if u want more efficient be a leecher participant in summit 10f, which is faster if the other member isnt a leecher.
How do I unlock all the attachments for the weapons?
Farm CP level 3 and 4
CP is control point?
yea
Oh, what's the deal with the named yellows? Are they just better versions of their unnamed counterparts? or do they like always max roll or something?
It's not better always
But have unique things
Like perfect talents which are a better version of the talent
Unique stats like damage to target out of cover of foxprayers kneepads
But backpacks, vests and weapons( most of the time) have perfect talents
ah, ok. thats good to know
Also
If you open map
And press R
You will see what drops where
Like missions, zones etc
And you can target what loot you want yourself in summit and countdown
By opening map and holding H
oh, thats neato
And summit and countdown are the best source of loot, but countdown is slightly harder than heroic
And it's an 8 man activity
On summit you can select what difficulty, and from 10 directives whatever you want
But IT WILL get repetitive after a while
So i'd say to mix missions and summit when you are new so you don't get burnt out
👍
Hi guys, I'm a returning player who hasn't really played since WoNY first came out. When I looked it up, a skill build was the recommended "starter" build for a new player, to then use and farm other gear sets. Is that still true with the release of countdown, or am I better off working towards something else?
for beginners skill build is a friendly build
You can use skill build for anything other than hunters encounter
ok thanks
anyone else getting an infinite loading screen bug after countdown very frequently?
once you are in the loading screen press and hold esc a few times, it will get you to the real loading screen, known bug but this workaround is 100% effective sofar
somebody posted a list of stuff to try, if you are willing its here : https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/uqvk8d/the_freezecrashing_has_gotten_worse_since_the/
Does anyone know the drop percentage for fox’s prayer? I did 2 countdowns and about 20-30 summit floors both targeted with overlord armaments and I didn’t even get 1 to drop
Unlucky - I'd suggest more countdowns and make sure you loot the hunters as they're much more likely to drop named items
that worked, thank god
Yea hunters are really good for loot they drop like 2 target loot per
The one guy talking of the Admin folder in PerfLogs sparks a little light of hope in me, because that's the first time I hear of it and it's in line with EAC's schizophrenic behavior
Memory leaks also remind me that the game actually does ditch either framerate or frametime as I play, which I eventually got so used to, I stopped counting as an issue because I had a worse one
nvm game bad
Does rock n roll drop from countdown?
no, it is a dz/pvp item and as such only comes from dz loot, dz caches, dz vendors, conflict caches, named caches, or the minor manhunt targets at the end of each manhunt branch (once every full manhunt clear).
Okay thank you @oak talon
Which dz is the least populated? I just wanna get dz creds without some asswipe with a crazy pvp build ganking us
Probably DZ south
Div2 just froze my pc completely, couldn't even force it to shut off. Had to unplug it. Any help here maybe ? It only happens in div2
Did you put that in the troubleshooting channel?
is there one ? didn't realize
Yeah it is #unofficial-troubleshooting
for the next time, if its just div 2 that freezes and not your whole pc, press ctrl shift esc to brin up taskbar, and then alt tab to swap to it, there you can end the div2 process and get it to drop you to desktop
Does anyone else has a problem where they can't apply Nevermore skin onto M700 sniper after unlocking it?
is the game sorta on repeat now after Black Tusk takes over, once you finish the Capitol Building?
In a way
You still got some story to go on with Black Tusk's invasion, then you start the WONY expansion
so i should maybe clear out Black Tusk for the first time, the start on WONY?
Does coyotes mask drop in countdown ?
its in the general loot pool, so it can drop there, make sure you are set to targeted loot mask for extra chances
Nice thanks a mill
I've noticed as I progress that some areas of DC are getting worse. The Castle gets destroyed and parts of DC are now burned out. Would be nice to see more positive progress. Settlements growing larger. Maybe a Control Point becomes a Settlement. Maybe raid team missions that are protecting a motorized convoy of building supplies.
Look at their target loots, if it's not gearset, providence, pistol, smg, murakami, and wyvern you're safer to enter that
Add more "safe point" if the DZ is not invaded
Do i get proficiency cases for leveling up my shade level?
Thanks, also sucks the dz cred boxes take long to respawn
Anyone know the respawn rate?
When target loot resets all mats boxes reset too
Soooooo... What's the fastest (and laziest) way to grind XP?
Summit lvl 10 farm takes minimal effort and gives out 600k like every 2 minutes
Morning Rendy0
Is that with all directives active or none at all? The 600k output?
All
Wait no not all I’m stupid
I don’t remember the exact number of directives I had active
But I didn’t have all mb I slipped up
So I tried this and I got annoyed, unless I did something wrong. but I was farming 10, completed the level, died and it restarted than I left to do recalibration shit and the checkpoint was saying floor 11 not 10. so I had to reset and get all the way back to 10 again.
Huh idk
Did you go up any stairs/elevators?
No, and like I said, I killed myself like normal, restarting floor 10 and then I left
is this intended or did I possibly just goof?
I haven't tried to do it again because of that, since grinding to flr 10 each time seemed like a pain
prob goof since it was working just fine last night
At least for me
that's probably true. it was my first time running it
I also wasn't alone, wonder if that has something to do with it
Dose anyone know how to get the liberty exotic?
there's a quest, you're best off googling it
Being in a group does not affect it at all
@steep cipher you'll need a D50 pistol and yes youtube shows the exact path to get the parts
am i doing something wrong?
Are you?
I looked it up dose this sound correct? Staff Sergeant Carl Wade will drop the Pistol: Sight & Rail at the end of the Viewpoint Museum mission on Hard, which can be found in Federal Triangle. Finally, Master Sergeant Steve "Junior" Quiroz will drop the Pistol: Grip & Tags, along with the Kendra's Liberty Blueprint.
Think you need the first bit from capitol building first, but other than that, yeah
I do have the component from the capital building so I should be good to go?
Yup
Ok thanks
i dont get any more resource convoys, is this normal? I reset the CPs, and havent seen a single one in a solid 15 minutes.
They don't run at night
makes sense, thansk
why dont hunters use shields? is it a balance reason or is it part of their style?
Does new york give better gear then washington cause when i was there i got loads of useable loot since coming back i get stuff with like 30k worse damage am i just getting unlucky?
or am i overthinking lol
Difficulty and directives affect your drops
What difficulty was new york?
what you pick
i dont even remember picking cause i was there for the DLC campaign
if it was the dlc campaign first run it was always on story difficutly
idk then cause im on challenger or whatever it is and my loot is so much worse since leaving there maybe im just getting unlucky
yeah unlucky
Im not getting any targeted loot in DZ anyone know why?
targeted loot not dropping at all in DZ is on the know bugs list, no ETA on fix yet
dang
How is lullaby obtained? I know its from the preorder but thats past. Need it for expertise
the snitch is not spawning for me, I've checked like 10 locations and not seen him at all. Is there some requirement to make him spawn?
Does targeted loot enhance the chance of a specific exotic dropping? I'm looking to run BTSU Datagloves and wanna make sure before I waste time grinding out targeted glove drops.
in your case you would be best of making that proficient with materials, otherwise lullaby can only be made with a sweet dreams and ownin the deluxe pack in the store
you may have had him spawn before in your world while running around, and not noticed or interacted him, and that puts him on a 30 minutes timer
