There is a lot of pvp builds that uses that attachment
Is the apperal event today?
Should be
Mike came back 😄
btw, when farming for exotics do you just set targeted for the part and hope for the best? and do they drop in heroic as well or does it have to be legendary
Set target loot to the exotic you want then pray to the gods. I think difficulties slightly increase your odds of getting god rolled attributes and cores, but the odds of getting that targeted item (including the exos) from the loot pool is still based on randomness @coral pagoda
wait you can target the specific exotic? or am i misunderstanding the first oart of your sentence
From my experience, yes. If you're looking for Coyote's mask, for example, you can target loot masks in Summit or Countdown or go to the open world and farm that area with targeted mask loot, and pray to the statues that one of your loot will be Coyote's, albeit very rare
oh ic ic, i knew you could set it to a part, misunderstood what you said as that you could target the name
I think I'd personally say that I find an exotic gear or weapon (maybe) every 1 in 10 Countdown sessions or something, probably 1 in 12 from my grinds
But I have an abysmally horrendous luck that anyone shouldn't fathom at all
i feel ya
desire sensor always seems to be at play somewhere
I find most often that you get the things that you want when you don't try to get em 😂
It's just Murphy's Law. What could happen will happen, and you would happen to get the things you want when you ironically don't target loot for them or sweat for them. It's plain RNG ultimately
Usually maintenance on Tuesday, yes it is reset day
Ok, thanks 🙂
Looking to get a new XL mousepad; since I have over 3k hours in both div 1 and div 2 thought I would get something SHD based, but can't find any on the official merch store, any website recommendations?
anyone know if the devs acknowledged targeted loot not working in dz?
Does somebody know will ubisoft fix the weapon damage of specialization?
(When u rank up your weapon of specialization in expertise the base damage of all weapons ups too)
I haven’t gotten a single exotic in countdown yet
They are relatively rare to drop it seems. But it does happen. I find that it’s much faster to farm for exotic caches than wait for exotics to drop.
I generally target farm brands or gearsets
From what I’ve seen exotics drop more when you target weapons or specific gear slot items
yup you need to target loot item slot or weapon type for exotics. they dont drop on brand/ gearset target. (or at least extremely rare)
hey when i joined the game there was a pop up saying i was granted by the division 2 team and to look in my deliverys or grants but both are empthy
i tried logging off an re opening the game but it didnt work
Same here….
Message about compensation but delivery is empty…
Did they decrease the number of activities/control points/bounties you need to do for manhunt targets?
Compensation be some early apparel keys. Check to see if you have 4 keys already.
if you recalibrate a croe stat does that mean you cant recalibrate the attribute stat anymore? or is it one recalibration per category
its 1 recalibration per item, but its endless for that 1 thing you change on said item.
I still have no idea
Core stat for items are fix (listed on the spreadsheet). the minor secondary stats are weighted RNG (higher chance to match the color of the core stat but can roll any stat). also. no idea what "emet stuff " is
have been trying to farm backfire for weeks now is it in some kind of drop pool ?
i have been targetting smg in summit
It’s rng
its a normal exotic so farm SMG target loot. its just RNG.
RNGESUS WHY MUST YOU HATE ME SO MUCH
Was this ever implemented? Or have we heard any updates regarding this?
*While a Specialization and its Signature Weapon are tied, that would be no longer true for their mods, skill variants, and sidearms anymore. By sufficiently levelling up a Specialization, you will unlock these formerly Specialization-restricted specific items for use by other Specializations.
Want to use the Artificer Hive with the Mortar Turret while wielding the Survivalist D50? You will be able to do just that.*
Not yet, was delayed till "after TU15"
Hopefully next season
I have a friend who is jumping back into the game but he is level 19. What should his order of operations be to catch up? Like main mission - side - New York etc.
follow the main story.
Thanks!
Afternoon AZ,Zephyr,rakey
Can you get duplicates in the Apparel Event ?
no
good to know
Is there any way to see if I got a talent or not in my calibration library when I loot a item? You can see the rolls you have indicated by that little arrow on the stats should be able to do the same with talents.
Nevermind, after a bit of googling I found it :S
does repair skills help shield regen?
no, repair doesnt affect the shield at all
you can use repair to increase the healing of an artificer hive to a shield
anyone know when grand washington hotel will be invaded been waiting like 5 weeks :l
Farm with someone who already has it and have them drop it for you when they get it.
Need to own at least the blueprint before you can solo farm it.
how much do directives actually affect loot in the summit?
If I've killed all hunters how do I do Ridgeway's Pride project? The hunters Ive tried spawning dont spawn anymore (All Washington hunters)
short answer: a little bit per directive, but it adds up
long answer: https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/jg8b1y/datamined_targeted_loot_drop_chances_and_an/
you can only spawn and kill the open world hunter once per account, but you can use the schaefer manhunt mission to get a hunter kill each run
to have the schaeffer manhunt mission you need to be decently far into the season track
also summit floor 100 hunters and maybe countdown?
countdown wont count as such
Im not running 100 floors for 2 hunters, Ill be level 53 way before then
you can just matchmake until you near 100 floor^^
^^^
I see that as a little rude IMO, joining a lobby and if they're not where I want them to be and leave
its like not knowing where your friend exactly lives....and you knock on doors^^
whats rude about that
how dare you try to be considerate on the internet, thats not allowed here, turn in your internet card 😛
but also just try and if you feel bad do 3 floor with em before leaving, also once you leave most likely the matchmaker will fill up your spot in seconds unless its way late
yeah cause you are in the base game...we dont hear your backup
we dont have worldtiers
Sheppards with wings, so alteast rank one, can join any levels backup call, and they get them poping up aswell
ahh ok...didnt know....never used that feature
Wym no world teirs
more likely the system bugged out or you are in some weird region, try login out and back in and trying again
with warlords of new york...worldtiers....gearscore etc was deleted
Well I’m world tier 3 so pop off
do you own Wony?
No
thats why you still have world tier
Well world tier or not I should still be able to find a teammate bruh
its fine to be going trough the world tiers while lvling btw, i dont know why that got singled out
I’ve been stuck on this mission I’m too far in it to just leave but I can’t progress so I’m fucked
worldtiers limited gear to a specific score...with no gs....bo worldtiers
if you are lvling up trough the game, without boosting, you go trough world tiers, not everyone is just aimed at the endgame at all times
i dont even know what base game got from all the TU that came...
not much is changed there, 1-30 and WT 1-5 are pretty much as it was at wony release, with just gear 2.0 having changed gear and talents
nothing that was in the season tracks is available in at 30, so no added brand/gearsets and exotics, only gearset that got added to 30 were FI and foundry
do note that the exotics from both raids are available to base game.
sure....raid is available...so why not the exclusives
Can Everlasting Gaze be found in countdown with allocated loot set?
so do we still need to get the exotic in raid before they join the loot pooL?
They never join the loot pool. Raid exotics are exclusive to raids.
everlasting gaze is a dz/pvp item, so no, only trough dz/pvp or named caches
ive heard the hunters in countdown can drop DZ loot. havent fully tested it though.
i would need to see proof before i would even consider believing that, in now atleast 100+ countdown runs now, i havent seen one dz item drop for either me or my group
ditto, but ive heard it from enough people that it might be true.
its aleast nice that yo u can get dz items with the countdown coins, crosses a few items of of the profficiency grind
nope no dz loot
only countdown named caches can drop some...but actual hunters not
i set providence defense as targeted and out of the 3 times i got exotics all 3 were the bighorn
is that normal?
Do targeted loot change weekly or is it maybe even daily?
bighorn is not in the target loot pool, you just got lucky from those legendary boss kills.
so it was just wacky rng then, getting 3 big horns?
targeted loot changes daily, midnight PST. can see the timer on the target loot map at the bottom.
no not wacky, because legendary bosses can drop big horn. and providence target loot has no exotics.
@foggy needle Thanks!
exotics are tied to there item type. except for big horn and the raid exotics.
iirc there is a exotic drop guide on the pinned spreadsheet.
ahh ok
thanks
TLDR: if looked for exotic backpack, then farm backpack target loot. if looking for exotic SMG, then farm smg.
Hello, i have a question about the new system to level up gear
I have a police m4, put it to max and then used resources to gain +1% damage
But it doesn't seem to be back to 0, it just says master and not enough expertise to upgrade
If at expertise 1, you can only upgrade to level 1. Level up expertise to further upgrade your stuff.
Yes but on the menu, it just says Master and i don't have the level
Proficient?
Oh wait, you need to level up multiple things to get your expertise level up ?
Yeah
I thought you had to level up one thing, then reset and level up again to upgrade
Each item in the game is used toward expertise.
Thanks
Do headshots always count as critical hits?
no there are headshots and crit headshots
what talents are good on a d50?
Regarding the Fairview apparel event... What's with the backpack? Checked their official site, no mention of it.
Daniel's League - Hostiles Burned - what mobs count? Regular / named don't seem to count?
Can you only research named Items? Im trying to figure out this proficiency thing still. Im proficient with a few different things but It wont let me research anything besides named items and exotics.
yeah, exotics and named
I see
expertise - pretty much everything (you can donate duplicates too)
You get proficiency lvls for any item or skill for using them or donating duplicates. After reaching prof lvl 10 with an item you can upgrade it, named item or not, doesn't matter. But max upgrade you can get is equivalent to your overall expertise lvl - the number in left upper corner in expertise menu
I have plenty of duplicates for gear, but it doesnt allow me to donate them
especially for gear the Im proficient 10 with
because it's a max prof lvl - after that you can start upgrading those items up to your expertise lvl
just discard them - you'll need those resources anyway
usually I pick up all loot I don't need as junk, then donate all junk for expertise and then discard everything that didn't donated - the items I'm already prof lvl 10 with.
If Im proficient with a brand or weapon, where or how do Iupgrade them?
on a bench in expertise menu you chose either weapon class (AR, LMG, SMG etc) or brand or set brand or type of gear for named items.
there you'll get a list of every item it this category. Chose the one you're prof 10 with - you'll get a list of this items you own
chose the one you want to upgrade - press and hold space for upgrade. BUT you can only upgrade up to your overall expertise lvl
it goes up once every 200 prof lvls collected on all items
np
is there a specific reason why fallen cranes is always so much harder than other cp's
Hey In the session pass I unlocked last seasonal manhunt missions , how do I start these?
Outcasts burnt
if you use a shotgun for a sidearm does having points in sidearm on your specialization increase its dmg ?
Nope, only counts for the Shotgun points.
Do new exotics drop from countdown?
I am not shure if i got the question answered so i try again. How to get new backpacks from apparel event, what missions, what difficulty
New backpack?
Yeah its in those new trailers
Never notice... All I see are some dudes in reusable plastic bags
They will come at later date u cant obtain them as reward from playing missions
So you cant get backpack buy playing missions? They will be released later, do we know how and when? @steady terrace
When they figure out how to put it in game without breaking everything
Ok, thanks
Probably a playstyle thing, I don't find it noticeably harder than others (The Boathouse in NY is my least favourite CP)
Question, what's a good way to get Mechanical Animal these days?
Countdown
is there a minimum difficulty for doing summit challenges?
nope
soo... in the apparel event
instead of opening crates and getting a random item, i open crates that give no dupes?
yup
When doing summit for the Ridgeway exotic pieces, do you have to increase the difficulty progressively? For example, you have the Challenging Hunting Knife, then the Heroic Flag Patch.
Or can it be done on one difficulty all the way through?
when summit came out the floors were set to difficulty from start
like 1-20 normal 21-40- hard 41-60 challeneging 61-80 heroic 81-100 legendary
it think thats why they were called that
Is there a mission where I can farm elite outcast spawns? Like kill a few elites then blow myself up and respawn close to where more would spawn?
summit ?
in the summit challenge to use pistol can you still use skills or is it strictly pistols only?
I think it's strictly pistols only - it's certainly pretty picky
Roosevelt at first boss. Do challenging to keep the checkpoint.
can you use shields still?
probably but not guaranteed (and not the deflector shield)
pain
also are the keys usually located at the floor of the cache room or the floor before?
just drop it to Normal for tricky challenges if you want to cheese them. Keys can be found on any of the three floors leading up to the chest, but the final one is the most likely
is it every floor ending in 3 6 or 9 or is it every floor thats a multiplication of 3
3, 6, 9 are the chests and the key is RNG spawn in each 3 floor section.
i see, thanks
my experience with summit access keys:
- typically, you'll find them on the second or third floor of any given 3-floor segment
- you'll hear a random drop sound out of nowhere when you're getting close to the key
- most often, if you didn't pick up the key, running backwards through the level will usually show where it is, because they're often placed outside the typical line of sight for most players (which means you really have to check your corners if you want to find the key on first pass)
just tested this, and the using the bulwark shield at least doesn't fail you the challenge - I'd definitely avoid using any other skills though
thanks a lot
pretty sure you can use any skill that doesn't literally take the pistol out of your hand (e.g. pulse doesn't fail the challenge, as far as i've ever experienced)
but, like, hives and turrets will fail the challenge, i think
well, mine just reset for no apparent reason, the only thing I can think of is that I swapped a couple of weapons around (including my sidearm) - didn't actually fire any of them other than the pistols, though
Just reached lvl #40 not long ago, trying to get better gear but kinda struggling and don’t know where to start, anyone down to help? also what the hell are builds and how do I get one that does lots of damage
Ahh yes the memories. Every new player goes through this phase 🙂
Hi, I have a question regarding the completion of the snitch card sets and obtaining that achievement (forgot the name).
I've been killing open world boss after open world boss and the missing cards just won't drop. In fact, no cards drop at all. I thought when you kill a boss and get its card that boss won't spawn again until you have all 52 cards. however, at least the last 10 bosses in DC open world haven't dropped cards although I am only missing 3 from the DC sets and thus for the achievement. Technically, it shouldn't take long to get these cards when I visit each of the open world boss spawn locations.
Or am I missing something here?
(somewhere I read that you have to complete the black tusk snitch card set or the other bosses won't spawn. But dunno if that is in fact true)
Thanks for any help.
i think that changed way way....there are possible spawn locations...but not fixed
I love the game and it feels like I've done so much already haha, got my first exotic yesterday and it totally shreds
the card system will try to give you a named atleast one person in the group hasnt killed yet, but because it check for if killed instead of if you have the card, if at some point you were in a world where someone killed the named and the card dropped, but you didnt pick it up, it will be checked off the list. once it thinks you have all 52, it starts to spawn them at random, and you might have a chance to get them then, but its very RNG
oh really? do you know where I can read more about that?
thank you so much
iam not sure.....but almost everything got a do-over in the last years
oh no, that must be the reason i am getting no more cards -.-
yes i also turned to that spot. but no cards are dropping there for me.
if you ever dont get a dropped card when killing a world named when solo, that means the game thinks you should have all 52 and you are in the random phase, it might take a while to get the ones you are missing
okey, so i either keep on farming or try to join someone else's session. at best a player with low lvl/who hasnt completed the sets
joining someone else doesnt help much, as unless they have like 10 remaining that overlaps with your 3, it wont be a benefit, as with someone that still needs all they will basicly be rng aswell to if you need them
but just keep farming them inbetween other stuff and eventually you will have them all
i remeber it took me quite a while when i ran into the same issue, but just kept farming them every 30 mins
alright, thanks for the tips! at least its not bugged to a point where i cannot get the achievement at all
Has anyone ever gotten the standard UMP45 dropped in-game?
nope, I think it's missing - only the tactical and police variants seem to drop
so iam not the only one missing this damn smg^^
What are ivory keys? I've seen a cache in the White House that asks for them
they're dropped by the same 'puzzle hunters' that drop the masks
plenty of online guides on how to get them
what happens if you fail countdown? both when the timer hits 0 and if you die at the end
Oh, tysm!
@arctic tusk If you die at the end of Countdown, it just brings up the stats screen and you can leave.
Never had it fail, so I can't help you on the first part.
you still keep anything you get at least?
at any fail point, you get half countdown coins. either failing, dieing or not extracting
but you keep all loots
I wouldn't call it half, you just keep what you got, since extraction doubles it
So you just don't get the x2 extraction bonus
i havent looked into the vendors yet, I've doing it to semi-leech for proficiency on skills
There's a Laptop just near the Season menu in the BoO, contains caches+some decent loot.
Basically completing anything in div2 will get you XP, so doing activities with other players can drastically speed-up the process.
The current League is great for it, running those timed missions. CP's, Summit farming, Countdown, etc, etc.
Just pick something fun and get on that grind, Agent.
👍😉
It kind of struggle and a lot of time to get 4 levels up and then key. Isnt there a easier way play several hours just to get 1 key. 😭
several hours to get 1 key ? what you doin....i think iam missing 4 keys to get this bs looking event done
If you're hunting for a named item from a brand set such as Chainkiller from Walker, Harris & Co you can just grind out the missions that their loot allocations for it right?
Target loot Walker gear in Summit, Countdown, or open world, and hopefully you'll get it quickly enough. Still random at the end of the day
You could also get Chainkiller from named caches if you get them from the countdown vendor, but RNG too
9 keys in 2 days ok?
where is the best place to farm corruption gear set? like which Dz if it effects anything
I cant find SMGs in the targeted loot. Is some items removed from rotation time to time?
yeah there's not enough areas for everything, so a few things are always missing (but you can still select them in countdown and summit)
Cool.
Is countdown hard? I recently hit level 40 and have gathered some gear... Its not great but I can play on hard solo.
Can I join a countdown you think? or do I need to get a bit more stronger? Im looking for the striker set atm.
Countdown isn't terribly difficult. It's meant to be played with 8 total people kinda like a raid. You can let others carry you as long as you're relatively carrying your own weight and you'll be okay
Can I ask about named item drop locations in this channel??
But I think you need to finish WONY for Countdown to be available @whole grove
@cedar tide Yeah, I have done that. Good to know, maybe I can try it then soon ^^
what is the fastest way to farm electronics these days?
Like where they drop? Can drop from anywhere. Guaranteed from invaded heroic missions, on first completion. Named item cache also.
@tulip fiber does that apply to the new The Setup named backpack? I've only ever gotten like 1 or 2. And I've been slamming countdown like crazy. I know there's alot of named items and all. Just curious
@tulip fiber I should state that those 2 backpacks I did get were from those season crates w/ Heartbreakers pieces aswell.
Yeah. I got another yesterday doing Outcast control points. Just RNG. Season caches could drop it also, since it came out during the current season.
@tulip fiber ahh alrighty. I appreciate it
No problem
That’s a DZ locked weapon however season caches are the alternate way to unlocking
What exactly gets saved when you make a new character?
SHD level & unlocked apparel, items in the stash can be swapped between characters as well
Danke, wanted to remake my characters appearance given i played this wayyy back when i wasnt all too keen on making legit character creations
But given i made my own character in like every damn game i play
so while dz loot is broken, how am I supposed to get a system corruption backpack?
do i go into the DZ and pray i get one or do I sulk in a corner
cuz if there's a blueprint for it I don't have it
season caches works
wait seriously? season 9?
are the specialization pistols even worth using compared to other pistols?
not really
maybe the firestarter shotgun with the primer rounds talent
apart from that I don't think so
I use the technician one as a backup for Mechanical Animal and Test Subject, and the gunner one is pretty decent
I never put points in them coz they take up inventory space you cant remove
Firestarter is pretty sweet, although I wish the combo with the flamethrower was faster to execute
I think you waste like half of the debuff just pulling the flamethrower out and burning the enemy enough to trigger the status
TD2 servers down atm?
Any idea will the backpack skin of this apparel event come back? I really like those backpack in the trailer. It is unfortunate they remove it 😦
They said it will be added later
I wonder if they'll do something with new AR model (the one kingbreaker based on) - not only it's the ugliest gun in-game but it won't take any skins and clips though player model when running with it and have some weird hole near mag when on backpack
Good day,
My apologies on this question, but im trying to farm scorpio exotic to summin (shotgun target lootpool), but i havent gotten any and i didnt get it on the seasonal cache on the past few seasons. is it possible to get it solo? so far all targeted exotic i got is sweet dreams .
im level 7 if anyone has recommendations to level up fast and get good gear
ahh alrighty thanks 🙂
Try countdown with target shotguns - got several scorpios while was grinding expertise lvls
they dont count
neither do the exotic level 1 weapons
Sweet Dreams has a curiously high drop rate for an exotic. Just keep going at it and you'll eventually see a Scorpio
Can anyone shed some light on this “expertise issue” where it’s capping some players and not others ?
Why so much manteinence. It was only once, now its more frequent
Iits annoying. 2nd morning in a row ive had no servers.
Leveling up items by using them would grant double the XP towards your overall rank. The max expertise level was supposed to be 20, but some were getting much higher due to exclusively leveling items by using them, leading to much higher expertise levels. This was fixed in a patch recently.
Thanks @true siren
can somebody explain what is the reward in the season track: Permanently unlock season 3 prime target mission
It unlocks a previous manhunt target and you can directly do their mission in the respective area
My friend says the best gear in the game is in the clan vendor, why do you have to be in a clan to access the best gear?
best gear isnt necessarily in the clan vendor or any vendor but you can always join an open clan if you want the items from that vendor
Ok so i found out what else gets saved per characters
I used the wony boost cuz i didnt wanna go through the whole ass game again with the wt5 stufd
But your (unlocked) specializations, firewall,technician ans gunner stay unlocked
You don't, he's pulling your leg
Added the Backpacks for the Fairview Crew Apparel Event!
Are they in the apparel key or missions
?
Backpack loot @true siren
😀
they are given once you complete one of the apparel sets
Ok, thanks+ masks i read. Cool
I'm wondering why you thought it was fine to ping me when i was not in chat for multiple hours.
I have my own life outside of this chat. If you are going to ask a question, ask it without pinging someone. You'll get your answer regardless. Even if the chat is moving quickly, just re-ask your question after some time has passed.
😀👍. Ok.
You seam to be a nice guy and knows alot so thats why i ping you
😀
I received an answer due to the backpack in apparel event. Thanks
Aspect is a nice guy, but they just don't wanna be pinged
Please do not ping moderators unsolicited.
Thank you for understanding. Next time just ask your question, and if i'm awake i'll likely answer it if i know the answer.
Ok, its a deal!

I have played 2 days and received 9 keys, is that ok? I play league to get faster level up.
For the apparel event? People gain keys at their own pace, as long as you are satisfied it is okay.
I just hope to get all before time runs out;)
Well there's roughly 22 items in the event, so at your rate you should be done by Sunday :p
Mind sharing that info?
I saw the Fairview trailer advertising backpack, but not sure what they are or how to get them.
You get them once you finish one apparel set
Does it show up in the backpack transmog option or something?
As Alignment said, the backpack is the reward for completing one of the sets. You'll have to go through the sets and see which one, though. It'll be a purple item at the top of your backpack transmog list.
Ah thank you, appreciate it. I already finished two sets, but didn't see any, mustve overlooked.
isn't chill out mask not being dropped anymore? i just got one from control point supply crate
I dont think so!
Morning Aspect, Rivens
Hello😉
What if anything increases status effect duration?
On my heardbreaker set it says 1.8 but i have armor on all 6 pices . Waird? Need some help is that right?
status effect stat increases those stats damage and duration.
Okay thank you wasn't sure if it actually affected the duration.
it does
thats correct, 6 armor cores + base armor is 1.8m.. not sure what you find weird.
Eh i have fountry armor,2,0, so
FB also boosts total armor 2pc iirc
Is the Caution mask supposed to sit that low on the face? It barely touches the nose tip.
I havent completed a set yet 😭
And i got 10 keys now
Thanks for answering @narrow kraken and Azumen
Will I get compensation if I lost only 3 levels of expertise?
I got compensation if you got a message check your inbox stash, red message you should have received it today, i got it too 😀
You should, even if someone lost just one level they should per a Yannick tweet I think
Anybody's game freezing / CTD every 5~10 mins of play after this new update / maintenance?
So in theory if someone raised their expertise level overall through gear usage and donations but never actually spent materials to upgrade any of it, they shouldn't be getting compensation?
Materials for lost materials, makes sense
anyone having over the top long pauses when loading the game
Afternoon AZ,meowcat
Do eney one know how to fix dv2 not responding?
gentlemen, i'm a first-timer, just hit lvl 30 mid-campaign, and the level stopped growing. it just drops boxes now. will those levels retroactively count after i do WONY?
i see people with levels in hundreds and thousands, so i'm assuming, that after WONY, i.e. at hitting 40, it doesn't block further growth.
but at the current progression step it's a bit of an impasse. shall i rush WONY? or finish campaign first? or what?
the levels are not retro-active, you'll just obtain proficiency caches until you start the WONY campaign, at which point you will go back to leveling from 31-40. After reaching lvl 40 you will enter a new form of leveling, SHD level. your character will still be level 40 from this point on but every "level" gained after that is a SHD level (the number you see that's so large on some players) and you will obtain proficiency caches once again. SHD levels reward attribute boosts (better explained after beating WONY and not spoiling anything) for the first 1000 levels, after that it's just for show mainly unless you count the ever changing patch every 1000 levels.
right, thanks.
and if i rush wony immediately, do i lose main campaign progress? side missions and stuff?
you don't lose progress, but you wont be able to replay the side missions, you miss out on some awards/commendations I believe but otherwise the game auto-completes the required one time only missions.
so you'll just never have played it with no option to play them, even after WONY.
most people will finish all the main campaign and side missions and skip the world tier leveling/climb that happens between main campaign and WONY, but just boosting to WONY.
so a certain amount of xp loss is essentially unavoidable this way.
not so much XP loss as boosted or not you'll start WONY at 31-40. nothing will change that part.
do you want to do it in proper order or get to end game asap?
although, a pay2win autoboost to 30 would've immediately brought me to that state with no useful xp.
most of all i wanted to clarify a picture, because, as with most GaaS products going for several years, the game is a bit of a mess in regards to those interactions.
if you haven't started the world tier climb I'd say just finish all the main and side missions you currently have on map and that appear, once you start the world tier portion you can boost to WONY if you wish. (you just miss a bit of explanation of some lore and factions and such but you're not missing out on anything you can't redo later)
roger. thanks.
ofcourse mate, anytime.
will the devs add any of the old apparel event items into the standard caches?
seriously doubt it.
sad, i have so many keys that are just sitting there
can you not just buy them with textiles?
Habe mal eine Frage wieso haben einige eine Ressourcenkiste bekommen die gar keine Know-how Stufe verloren haben, und die die mit Rohstoffe investiert haben bekommen keine Kiste ?
you cant buy previous apparel event items with textiles because they aren't in the store.
can i farm Coyotes mask via targeted loot and summit/countdown ?
yes
ty
There is supposed to be a affix called "Skill efficiency" on one of the brand sets. Its a pretty big buff you get since you get a +% on all the other skill buffs there are... but I cant find it when im looking at this homepage : https://division.zone/the-division-2/items/brand-sets/
Did they remove it or something?
"Cursory glance"?
it's still a thing
empress international is the set you're looking for
Oh, I shall look ^^
that page hasn't been updated for, like, any of the new brand sets that were introduced with warlords, i would guess
yeah that page is super outdated the pins in #td2-build-advice will have up to date info
yeah its pre gear2.0/WoNY
wwas the chillout actually removed from the general loot pool
because i somehow got one
bug, was accidentally added back in this patch lul
lmaoo
Amazing
when I thought my luck ran out
I asked this before but I don't remember the answer, may not have even understood
how do i get system corruption without going into the DZ?
Only other realistic source is the random times clan vendor sells pieces.
Extremely rare though
Sell double crit matador lol
Some are craftable
yea but you need the system corruption mats to craft one lol
thats a given. the assumption was you had one with bad rolls
I'm looking at patch notes and am wondering what additive means compared to multiplicative
is there anything i need to know for countdown?
thing is i need the backpack 😶
just follow your teammates - first they'll go for hunters and then for missions. You'll get the gist of it pretty fast
the hunters give you dog tags which give you a bonus at the end of the run in terms of countdown requisition
so over time you'll be able to purchase more caches or literally anything from the countdown vendor
Unless you start to see teammates dying one another within 5 minutes...
thats rare, people got used to countdown - most of the times it goes smooth
I think the stealth nerf on HB caused a few facetankers to be dead on arrival.
what's the nerf?
Yo ppl, after the update yesterday I've been getting really long loading times to get into the game. For instance after I click "play" I have to wait for like 60 seconds for the screen to even go black and another eternity until i see the initial loading screen - which is then stuck at 0% for another good minute. I've heard this from friends of mine who have completely different specs, so I guess its not tied to any of that. Somebody here experiencing the same or even has a fix?
Less potential damage from HB stacks
Still pretty good if you play cautiously
thanks. Guess it's a good thing - everyone and their mom were using HB, it needed to be nerfed a bit
But then you see YouTubers whining 😫
personally I've been playing HF with Zero F's and Scorpio - works great in countdown
isn't that all they ever do tho?))
tried with memento, changed to czheshka, liked it better. But yeah, both options work pretty good
Fully stacked memento is better if you like to YOLO
Facetank everything u see, shield or no shield haha
Guys, yesterday I bought 1000 credit in game, but nothing happened ... no credit but my money lose. What can I do?
Not sure if anyone asked, but will devs do some sorts of compensation to those who upgraded Hydden Gloves before it got removed?
Does anyone know what the best gearset to use in the dark zone is
What you going to do in DZ?
The Perfection talent that grants Skill Tier per kill. How does that work with an already deployed skill? If I have a Shield deployed and then kill an enemy (thus getting +1 Skill Tier) do I have to redeploy that skill for it to take affect?
fastest way to lvl up Expertise ?
its means they ruined another gear set just like with aces & eights
Ruined - I loled
It will update your existing skills to the higher level; this in turn means the buff going away reverts them back to the lower level while they're active
Is it normal to be in Q for The Tombs in heroic for like 17 Minutes now?
A queue for matchmaking?
The best case scenario is to log out and log back into the game and the chances of finding games are increased. Unsure the maths behind this but this works 80% of the time for me. Give it a try and if not, just run it with matchmaking and someone will eventually join or call for backup / set group to open.
You didn't upgrade them, you earned proficiency - you dont get compensation for that
do you need the new york expansion to play operation dark hour?
yes they did, but not many and certainly not enough to warrant one of those chaches
yea true
ouch
Guys I cannot buy new exotics blueprint, relogged waiting nothing happened what to do about that?
Wait 
How did the heartbreaker set change? What's different about it?
known issue. being worked on.
The nerf dropped HB from “broken OP dps” down to “still too strong dps”.
Hello community. I'm a long time solo player from division to division 2. Never grouped since launch.
I don't have an active mic.
Should I try to do the fairview stuff? I am not even sure how to go about it x.x
Just level up and you'll get the cache keys every few levels
what is the symbol where its like a dot then 2/3 of a ring around it?
and like a small triangle on top
The mouse cursor
its on the right side of attributes, like the place where the wrench from recalibration appears
ohh
its been in front of me this whole time lol
didnt notice cause i havent used it at all
thanks
Ah well, don't worry too much about it at the start
can yo uonly optimize once per equipment as well?
ahh ic
Morning Meowcat,
how common are high end guns at level 22?
cause i got no high ends for first 20 levels
now 3 in an hour
So I'm not just stupid right? At the end of the wall street mission, that little area it let's you out into, you can't get out of that area without fast traveling right?
yeah, you are right, it only opens up in story mode, when running it at normal or higher the gates dont open strangely
Hi! Clan bounties aren't suppose to be available at 40 lvl, right? But it pops on map somehow.
I thought it ties to the 30 lvl, not 40 lvl. Am i wrong?
How HB is too strong? HOW? Like "every" build to play solo legendary is doing more dmg now: striker, high end, neg dilemma...
nope they work for 40 too
Ah, good to know. But clan bounties aren't showing on map like normal ones.
I mean you can see them after some time... At 30 lvl it was perfectly fine, lined with normal bounties.
But at 40... ;p
thats a build issue then. HB when built correctly still deals ~30% more damage then meta red build (down from 70% before nerf). It matches meta red dps at ~50% stacks too fyi.@marsh oriole
also HB is a hybrid set and shouldnt be doing more DPS then meta red or strikers (but it is atm), that is not proper game balance.......
not to mention it gives you more protection too
yup ^^
@foggy needle what are you talking? 100 stacks from HB now do less dmg than perfect focus + striker/high end/neg dilemma.
nope
i dont think a set that gives you more survivability and damage than using glass cannon with all reds should be a thing
tbf the shooting range isnt 100% accurate
we have fully tested HB pre and post nerf
also yea keep in mind shooting range still has a lot of bugs (mostly with the dps meter)
and you only mentioned solo legendary
the only way HB was better/good, was the possibility to finally not use perfect focus to do simillar dmg
Meta dps HB (coyotes + ceska vigilance) beats meta red (PGC + Vigilance) by currently ~30% when at max stacks and using AR (more if you main ACS).
there is literally no point using focus because the chestpiece gives you 50 more stacks, thats 50% more damage and armor
yes, HB was for some heavy dmg game, not silly hard gameplay mission where you can run through with literally anything
How are we supposed to contact Ubisoft if we didn’t receive the proficiency cache when there’s no way of searching for it on their website?
this isnt the answer you wanted but yannick said theres research being done into why not everyone has gotten them if that helps
HB chest gives you a 50% boost (total 100% boost), Perfect focus gives you a + 10% boost (total 60% boost)
high end PF+Vigilence do more dmg that HB on full stacks
Known issue, still being worked on atm.
Lol it doesn’t and there’s no possible way to prove you didn’t receive it either
well im sorry but im not one of the devs :/
incorrect. been fully tested FYI 😛 high end PGC + vigilance loses to HB by ~30% PF + vig is closer to HB but still less dps.
show me any video link
also why so adamant on defending hb
because it is creazy that game is nerfed to taste and (lack of) understanding of the most casual players
got better, can show you the spreadsheet (which matches in game numbers) 1sc.
#td2-build-advice message (thats AR HB 100 stacks vs PGC meta red AR)
HB DPS with ACS is even higher but PF meta red does close the gap but iirc still loses by ~10% to HB full stacks
slay azurmen
and dont forget HB is a HYBRID set... it should NOT beat dedicated dps builds.... (hence HB still way too strong)
I still dont see how famas with fast hands, pf+vig do less dmg than hb with famas and flatline
because HB stacks is a 100% AMP, not even counting Vigilance for HB.
let me start a game and check if I am not missing something badly
i thought they changed that?
yes and no
care to elaborate lol
@foggy needle ok, I see where is the difference - what is that "meta" hb build you meassure dps?
It was an exponential amp (just like strikers), but now each stack is just additive with the others, but the total boost is still an amp.
Total HB boost went from 170% (exponential amp) down to 100% (normal amp) with this nerf.
@foggy needle hb, vig + let say contractors or coyote?
highest HB dps is Coyotes + ceska vigilance backpack full red crit.
ok, what times you do solo on legendary missions with it?
contractors/ fox is lower dps with gear sets as they lack crit. these are only good if you dont lack crit, then they are great.
ok, but how you play with this "build", what times you run legendary mission solo with it?
solo on legendary missions is entirely different beast. also im not a speed runner.
ohhhh, so you play challange or hard mission with it and it is op, right?
solo legendary almost always run nego focus instead of HB
why the attack???? an no. heroic is what i main.
and that was my point: before nerf you could finally run through legendary without PF, with HB/memento/ceska, easly under 30min every single time
i love how people go, oh but in this one situation this super op thing isnt op, so its not op in general, thats not how stuff works
heroic missions you can run through with random items...
and you can run it faster with hb, your point is invalid
legendary isnt supposed to be played alone
Well I missed a whole thing.
Be nice, y'all.
the point is: hb was finally giving you some choice how to play hard content, but super casual players who stuck with heroic missions(and bellow) start to cry
that what it means when something is over powered, it over powers other things
if you want to solo legendary you should have to do some weird quirky shit to get around
no but its great if you can
@karmic harbor how much time you need to play game to be able rund legendarty solo?? it really not hard
Since you are looking for speed runs...... solo record for DUA leg is 14m fyi https://www.speedrun.com/the_division_2/level/District_Union_Arena#Legendary
I mean how much time you need to play heroic missions to find it too easy? weeks? months maybe?
??
if you are new players with 0 understanding of game heroic missions are way to go
they're really not
^^
Well, Division 2 isn't for solo play only.
chill out dude, no need to get toxic
So, why bother? 
you do them in 5-10min solo, with almost any build - how many times doing it feels like any kind of challenge?
ENTIRE game can be soloed (except 2 raids) so yes its a solo game. saw edit...
challenging should be the default difficulty for anyone who wants to just have fun & chill out - heroic is for those who want to push themselves, legendary for those who REALLY want to push themselves & also have the top builds & lots of experience
LIKE THE MASK
again, my point was: hb was great to finally play hard content differently - now not so much anymore, because it was op for players who even dont play hardest content
except it wasnt.... see above again ^^
pre nerf... HB meta build stompped on meta red PGC by 70% MORE dps.
how is that balanced......
you talking about hb build that you will not use in legendary solo anyway, so... the dmg is theoretical
its not though... ACS stacks to full in 2s...
hard content is supposed to be HARD
i think its in the name, not so sure
and wr in legendary mission are not made and - looks like - they wont be with hb how it is now
so hb is done in this way
and playing hb heroic missions... it was silly from beginning
it's almost like the vast majority of build design & balancing is not designed for people soloing legendaries
top speed run meta was unchanged because of how broken regulas + HH is but outside that 1% game was broken
game balance and build testing is something you clearly struggle at so ima head out lul
for you guys all this talk is theoretical, number on spread sheets - and for those people hb was nerfed - and my point is: that is stupid
lets undo the hb nerf and make it so it also grants skill efficiency for each stack
@foggy needle I asked what times you do legendary mission with this OP Heardbreaker set?
show me Your testing
and you have a belieff that just because hb cant do one thing, it wasnt overpowered, ill leave it to everyone to come to their own conclusions as to wich one is more stupid
already answered above 🤦♂️
you stick to heroic missions, right?
we cleared DUA legendary with no plan whatsoever other than "lets do an HB run for shits and gigles" and cleared in under 15 mins
and spreadsheets?
you still missing the point: HB was adding some diversity to play hard content, e.g. legendary missions solo
but it was nerfed to taste of people who dont even play hard content(I guess)
and youre missing that having one build outdamage all the rest in most situations, makes it so everyone just runs that one build
so you just want it to be buffed because it makes hard content easier
ignoring literally everything else
🥶
also, why did you like running it for legendary pre nerf, was it perhaps because it was OP, or was it just the looks
ok, heroic missions solo: before you will get full dmg you will run out of enemies in area, so you will do it easier and faster with any other build
also, why are you so obsessed with soloing legendary? If not for the challenge? Now it's more challenging again, so surely that's better?
my point... build diversity,
it doesnt matter for heroic, because it is super easy anyway once you play it like 100 times....
so much talk about build diversity for someone thats wants it for only solo legendary specifically
right, one build being far stronger than others is great for build diversity
Guys, i just started playing 2 days ago and im only lvl 8. I like the gameplay but the game just feels "dead" to me, i see no other players running around, I can't match with anyone in any mode (free roam, answer call etc) and im just wondering is it because im low level? Or am i doing smth wrong (besides having no friends) thanks :)
low level definitely has something to do with it
yeah, most players are in the endgame, not so many new ones still levelling
yes, legendary or raid solo are end game
or speed runs
that where you will end up playing long enough...
I see i guess it makes sense, just gotta push through the early game then
you'll only see other players in the shared safe rooms or BOO areas
this tape is just stuck on repeat
HB was allowing do these things DIFFERENTLY
Oh that would actually be a dope set
For every say, weakspot break or headshot kill you get, It adds one skill tier and + some skill haste and damage to one of your skills, and if you reach past tier six you get overcharge
because it was EASY
@karmic harbor @nimble spruce speaking from own experience? it was "EASY" run legendary missions solo with it?
and ignore this comment, only really obsessive sweats are there, everyone else is just having fun on Challenging or Heroic
Absolutely
If I saw a teammate with a half decent HB build I knew I wouldn't have to try hard
I seriously doubt that with all this talk "sweat legendary mission player" you ever complete leg with hb
i dont think you really know what you are talking about since you said solo raids
I have lmao
Roosevelt island
My only deaths were to kamikaze bois and getting stuck inside of a piece of cover
here you have solo raid:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh8rnu0KBTo
Solo raids are just a dumb Idea
Like there is no point aside from the challenge
discovery, of course (was assuming Normal)
yeah theres still that
also no the video shows normal
you have to be real good to do a raid solo, if it is even possible
and theres like 5 people who want to do raids solo
does that really justify hb being buffed
Its absolutely possible it's just kind of annoying to be killing like 8 times the enemies as usual
you know what, im sold, buff hb 2000% so we can all solo iron horse
pretty sure it's impossible for normal: you need 3 people to turn the keys in the hot corridor after Grey (and 4 to hack razorback)
didnt you go from wanting heartbreaker to be broken again to some guy did a portion of a raid solo
I just answered: [19:10] Cali4T: i dont think you really know what you are talking about since you said solo raids
you missed the point, again
Okay this is starting to get a little shouty.
Tone it down or there'll be warnings.
maybe
also solo raids arent possible to complete, yeah sure you can complete portions of it but legit i dont think so
I wish people who talk about something here actually try to do it first
it would be so much easier to communicate then
im not gonna solo raid
Solo Raids are indeed impossible to complete.
This is an old topic.
lol
I distinctly recall a certain PvP nut like 2 years ago asking the same question.
time is a flat circle.
hi, when farming open world bosses for these playing cards, i usually have a few locations i visit, hoping an open world boss spawns in. i was wondering, if after killing an open world boss at one of these locations it is possible that yet another open world boss can spawn in on the next spawn location i visit immediately afterwards aswell? or is the cooldown for open world bosses 30/45 min in general. meaning when i kill 1, only after 30/45 min it is possible that another open world boss spawns in in all of DC?
I hope this sounds comprehensible lol
I think I will leave you here(hb op, hb still op, no sense to play leg solo, raids solo impossible, in dz only cheaters), was fun, bye
Yeah there's a 30min cooldown timer no matter what, best of luck on your farm.
thanks for the info. after killing a boss, i visited all the other locations and was wondering why there never spawn a 2nd one in within 30/45 mins of killing the first one.
What I've been wondering lately is if they increased the chance of Rogue packs spawning in NYC.
I was absolutely flooded with them while doing RNG activities yesterday.
i think its just rng
for quite a while id get NO exotics, now when i play anything i get them relatively regularly
sometimes 3 times a day
Oh I'm sure it is.
But the amount of Rogues finding me in alleyways+after random events was just nutty.
could be something similar
It's like all the Rogues that I missed out on during my break suddenly found me in the same 2 hours period.
i had a chillout mask with the rolls i wanted greet me yesterday
when i thought it was removed
It was supposed to be with the update, what was the source?
its dropping again since the thursday patch, after the tuesday patch removed it
yesterday was thursday, after the patch that broke it and made it drop again
anyone else got much longer loading times with this update? Plus game started crashing way more often then before((
No I tend to have pretty fast loading times in this game
I wouldn't say it's about loading. More like connecting.
Stuck at 0% while bootup to characters selection and before logging in into world.
Yea, i got that problem too, not frequently but still...
when you boost to new york you get all skills and perks unlocked right, then where are the 20 points you get in new york used?
You're talking about SHD tech? Those are used for the orange division chests found at each safehouse and beside the crafting bench at Haven.
Theyre filled with random loot (think proficiency caches) the loot scales with world difficulty. If you open them pre 40 the items inside will be useless after a mission.
Collecting them isn't necessary and doesn't grant exclusive rewards or skills unlike DC campaign.
Maybe I'm dumb, but how do I get the heartbreaker set?
Set HB brand as a targeted loot in summit or countdown, then kill and collect stuff.
Or you can hunt items in world activities or missions if HB is set as target loot. Check at map.
But easiest way to get'em is countdown imo.
hello everyone, I finished the main campaign missions and I believe I need to choose my class, and finish the rest of the activities, is there anything more I should be aware of?
first off, you can always swap your specialisation at any time at the white house, you arent stuck into beign a "class"
Where is the best place to farm green gears? I dont have new york DLC
and you are able to go to warlord of newyork at the point you are at, but if you want to experience the full story you are better off going trough the world tiers and the "off site" missions before you head there, going to wony is a one way trip and you will be locked into it and going to lvl 40 once you start it
targeted loot in the open world, and quickly moving trough activities, there are also a few missions that are worthwhile if they have good targeted, namely lincoln
thanks a lot, cleared my thoughts
Can someone please explain Aces and Eights a little quick? I understand that I need to draw 5 cards (I interpret that from 5 shots since I draw a card when I shoot) and then I get the +30% more damage. But what does the cards mean? For example the Four of a kind, it says 4 shots. What does it mean with those 4 shots? I draw a new card for each shot so where does this 4 shots come into the picture?
Hello everyone i have a question. am i the only one whose game take 3 mins to start?
I play on playstation and it takes forever
yea what about other pc players ?
there seems to be something broken with the initial connecting with server load at start up, hopefully it will be hotfixed out soon(tm)
i mean i like that i have time to go to the bathroom before the game starts but what if i don´t need to ?
jk xd
alright
Can someone please explain Aces and Eights? I get nothing when I try to google this :S
"What does it mean with those 4 shots?" - it means your next 4 shots get the 30% bonus damage. Those shots will continue to flip cards, which will get you more shots with bonus damage, so you essentially end up with more or less constant bonus damage
Cool. So the depending how good the "hand" is I get more bonus powered shots?
especially as it's not using a standard deck and random cards, so the number of times you get those full house, 4 of a kind etc is much greater than you might expect
np
cant change mission difficulty from Story to league activity Hard. Am i missing something?
Have you done the mission on story first? If not, you’ll need to do that, then you can change difficulty.
How do you get improvised gear?
can someone tell me how to get the hunters fury set
target loot farm for it
where doesnt show up on any of the missions
it might not be on any mission or zone today, as there are more item types than spots, but you can always set your own targeted loot in summit or countdown
also countdown itself is one of the best spots to generally grind for items
ty
oh just to check you are lvl 40 right? as it is unavailable at lvl 30
this is going to sound dumb, but I was looking for a grindy shooter. Got recommended this game. Bought it for like $4.99 on epic without doing any research. What do you guys do end game? Is there end game pve? I like grinding for gear but don't care much for pvp
that basicly sounds like that this game is straight up your alley, the endgame is mostly just grinding to get better builds and completing what you feel like doing.
and its 99% pve for most people, with no forced pvp at all
If you still have money, make sure you get the Warlords of New York expansion in case you like the game
It's one of those "everyone's in it at this point" kinds of expansion
does tardigrade chest drop from true son bosses?
Yes. I get it from Lincoln a lot.
jefferson has chestas target loot so I should go there correct?
jefferson plaze I mean
That’ll work, yeah. I just mentioned Lincoln because of the four bosses you encounter. One of the better missions to farm.
I will try that as well. Thank You
has anything been said recently about the setup and the closer in regards of targeted loot?
i am lvl 30 found out i cant do it since i aint got expansion
Should be open world
moreso that i am strongly starting to suspect they arent in the uzina targeted loot list, wondered if any of the data miners have ever confirmed it is in uzinas list
they only drop in summit and countdown if you target backpaks instead of UG
can i get liberity from targeted loot
not until you make it
ah
Is it possible to get the bighorn in countdown or do I have to go for summit instead
summit on legendary or do the normal legendary strongholds
Thx
Wait
How the hell do I defeat Keener. Every time I get him almost dead, he fully heals his shield and I die
oxi-ing the ground he jumps on is one of the most fun ways to kill him after he makes his big speech
I finally did it. Just sat there, died 29 times, and just pounded him with a light machine gun
Grenaded him when he did his heal areas
and just applied as much constant damage as possible
Wait until you start playing heroic missions 
How do you survive on an oxi build?
I cant seem to live on any difficulty, in really new and my stats suck but I cant take any amount of damage
hop down to build advice and send a picture of your setup
the answer may be "get a solo build going"
Ur not meant to take damage with builds like that, u don't kill them fast enough? Your basically done
Those are better reserved for when enemies aren't particularly able to roll out of the cloud, which ends up not being worth the hassle when you don't have someone preventing enemies from moving for you
If you really wanna play the build, though, you could use things like banshee pulse, shock trap, sticky bombs and other clunky methods of CC to stop enemies on your cloud... or you could just shoot them in the face and have a much easier time
I did it first try with an lmg
rpk actually I think
What exactly is the benefit of Increase Ensare Health for the Foam Launcher? Does that help at all for PvE or is that Expertise Bonus ment for PvP? Sorry If I've posted this in wrong channel.
PvP mostly or pve if you accidentally shot it too close
You can shoot the foam off someone and the health represent how much you can shoot it before it breaks
Not quite useful for foam cc but a core mechanic in IH raid boss 3
@dusk vortex ohh alright tyty, I hardly dabble in PvP. Much appreciated though.
William has hardened foam which you can only shoot it to get it off
Did the tombs proficiency farm come back?
Tombs proficiency farm?
Can i farm for the Memento Backpack on Countdown if i set the loot drop to backpacks only?
Sure
U can boost ur expertise by killing all the drones
With pulse
does the system corruption 'increase weapon damage by 1% per 5% bonus armor gained' go for any bonus armor or that specifically of the hackstep protocol
where i can farm acs-12 shotgun guys?
Can you get tardigrade from countdown or summit?
Yes
So this is a silly question.
Is there any way to sort my gear mods alphabetically with ascending value?
I feel like this should be one of the best QoL updates that this game can have now.
nope
gear & skill mod inventory management is one of the worst-designed bits of this game imo
at least they added the filters, that does help a lot
I appreciate the filters for sure, not a problem. I feel like it could be improved one step further by actually sorting by value and what not
personally I think the entire system needs a complete overhaul
@forest lion LFG requests go in the LFG channels, please use the correct channel.
Right at the start? Then reset the mission?
Idk if it still works but yeah
Alright. I reckon it's more expedient to just do a floor 10 farm, though.
the tombs cheese tactic was to use emp to kill all the decoys at the end of the mission (far more of them than the drones at the start), no idea if it's been patched or not though
I think it still works. Just had this run yesterday with my jammer pulse and got some proficiency levels, but I didn't cheese it.
Oh, sounds more attractive if it's all the decoys.
And close to the boss reset so also simple
yeah just run into the final area, emp decoys, commit explosive hari-kiri, repeat until you realise what your life has become
When you realise that life is cheese
Does extra directive exp also factor into proficiency exp?
don't think so, pretty sure it doesn't scale with difficulty either - just number of enemies killed and whether they're red/purple/yellow
Alright, thank you both
how do you increase expertise level?
I know donating gear works but then if you become proficient with everything using just xp and mats
do you get locked at below level 20?
or are there alternate ways to get it
no, they fixed that bug - you can get to level 20 regardless of whether you donate or use items/skills
does eclipse indirect transmission have to be your own kill or would your teams kills work
Any kill, as long as the status on the enemy comes from you
Set guy on fire and someone else kills? Spread
Your friend set guy on fire and you kill? No spread
neat, thanks

Afternoon kettle,Zephyr,Aspect
Is there a list anywhere of what can or can not drop from a exotic cache?
thats the thing, im not sure how you get expertise level without donating
the only things that cant drop from the caches is the raid exotics & the bighorn
and ones you haven't done the quest for
ok thank you
hey saph
you play with items (eg, have them equipped while you or teammates get kills)
Just to inform i think there is an issue to get apparel key, i played all day havent received any key just level up. Need some help
how hard is to kill a Freeroam Hunter?
are apparels shared across characters?
Depends on which hunter. Single hunters usually are.
If i am to farm for a named item in Countdown like Emperor's Guard, do i put in kneepads or Murakami for the targeted loot?
Hi all. returning player here. I have one maxed specialisation. How do I get more points, when I want to max another? Playing missions?
Shd farm or bounty's
A Single one, I'm trying to get their masks, and also, what can I do with Ivory keys?
What is the recommended armor value to play challenging or heroic? I was trying to rack up my DMG through recals, but now I'm sitting with 660k armor... And it feels horrible.
You use the ivory keys to open a chest in the WH
There's an equivalent in Haven, for the NY hunters
Anyone know why I can't talk with Roy Benitez? It has an orange icon when I look away from him but it wont let me see what he's selling because the option to go into the menu isn't there.
Free roam or what?
660k is far too low, ur gonna sitting behind cover 24/7
CP and probably mission. 1M is enough?
I used to play with 1.2M
What build are you using ?
4 HB with Dare (LMG)
And the other 2 slots?
the other two pieces are system corruption
I don't have much choice so I just equipped those two
Well I would go with memento and 1-2 blue cores
And chance system corruption to Ceska or grupo
Does anyone know why I can't talk with Roy Benitez at Haven?
No, google it reddit often is your friend
okay. thanks
Ok, I figured it out. He for some reason wanted to talk with me but when I clicked it nothing happened and the buy/sell option came up. My only guess is that he bugged out after I did one of the missions that had and upgrade for him or something.
I play for a long time with high damage and low armor 730K and low health meanwhile only on heroic - challenging is boring. You don't need any specific build. Just select what fits best to your used weapons.
playing rifle? just go for overlord and so on.
add the right addons and go for it.
I play mainly with rifle+lmg (mk17+bullet hell) or rifle+shotgun (mk17+scorpio) - depending on what is needed.
my other former combination of attack rifle+rifle (mk16+mk17) was fun but missed the special punch from the exotics.
Well i am running heroic on complete map and don't die more as other players, sometimes it is really close, but god thanks for the scorpio 🙂
i use the scorpio and also the bullet hell for crowd control or control heavys - thanks for the effects of the scorpio when shooting in the mass of spawning enemies out a door.
so build your best own fit and don't get on the meta-road.
ok. I really enjoy playing with LMG. It's just that when my armor is below 1M, I can barely survive
than you are doing something wrong in your playstyle
guns are outmaxed with dmg?
And how often do u have to sit behind cover to heal or just wait for them to stop shooting?
funny why should i only sit and wait?
I'm just asking
what i read = pre-fasted opinion without experience
so is it 20x one item = proficient or is it 20*9 of that one item to become proficient
Maybe stop getting triggered because of a simple question without any bad intentions
ah sorry but it feels so, because most people are calling for build only made by them and if you answer that is bullshit, than they wont play with you until you change to their pre-build.
Well I played with 700k a while too, but for me there where too many Szenarios where I was 1 shot or it was such a close call
i often encountered such strange players, also when it goes for playing the raid - sorry men, you are only allowed to come with us, when you change your build, because your are doing not enough damage / have not enough armor etc.
And you have to keep in mind everytime u sit behind cover to wait for them to stop spraying or to heal u loose DMG for idk 6-7 seconds
And that ain't worth it imo so just putting 1-2 defensive cores makes a huge difference
i wish i could add 1 or 2 more armor without loosing the dmg-output.
Does anyone here know how to unlock raids like do you have to be lvl 30 to unlock DH in discovery mode.
Or do I need WLONY to unlock it
yeah with 6x weapon dmg in each gear, in average is 14% each
I'm pretty sure u get them after capitol
but not with optimization and such
Alright thanks toni
Not sure about iron horse tho
well i send you DM, maybe it helps to get some ideas for your own build
The Raids are much longer than any Mission and Stronghold and is only unlocked at World Tier 5 at specific Gear Scores.
So in short - get to lvl30 and go for it
cheers!
Does the reward tier/our medals reset for the second week of the league?
If I can only get 58 medals this week, can I just get 2 medals from next week to be able to reach the highest reward tier?
Yes, it does not reset
Then what is the incentive of getting 60 medals this week? Will we get 10 additional tiers on top of the current tier next week?
no
just more xp
can i ask here where can i find named cleaners?
Level 4 control points, cleaner missions and bounties
ideally, run it in a group of 2 or 3 (1 and 4 is harder). If solo, run a hunters fury build with lady death, I found a striker drone was a good skill choice to accompany my shieldj, as I could send it off hunting enemies who were hiding
but it doesn't matter too much if you can't get a 10, you only miss out on a bit of xp
8 or 9 is good enough, you'll have next week as well to max out the stars, and the time trials reset on monday(?) so you can get 38 (39) stars again, whihc should max out your loot from the event.
should i be popping bluescreen at 50 stacks or keep it at 50 for the last effect?
does 'heat stacks' in IH raid affect catharsis? or does the ticking damage do?
heat stacks as in, the stacking debuff till 100 on feiser stage? be it in furnace/control room
How do u get eagle bearer I'm new as far as raids and raid exotics
I should be ok if I buy the season pass at rank 100 right? Like none of the items have caps right?
Nah your fine, it's retro active
It's from the 1st raid, got to do that on normal
Im level 40 plus at 3rd advancement level for the watch should I do dark zone?
Should I do it alone or with a team?
ok thanks
Waveform Exotic Holster can any of you help me get it please ?Need someone who got if from event.
no, you can get it from any exotic cache or random drop
obviously target loot holsters + directives for your best chance
i read it on forum if you did not geti from the event season 5 you dont have it on drop pool
you read a lie
Should we turn all of our old equipment into junk?>
@nimble spruce thx
depends: extract to recalibration table, donate to expertise, sell or deconstruct are your options, just pick whatever you need most
Okay thank you
What should we do after finishing final mission and hitting level 40? Dark Zone? Or Finish the Map to do control points and all
not DZ, that won't end well
finish the NY map projects, then set about putting together a proper build (see the spreadsheet link from Azurmen that's pinned in #td2-build-advice for a list of decent builds to choose from)
im like level 6, should I be selling my extra loot to the vendors or dismantling it? Or a mixture of both?
also i bought the year 2 pass from Epic game store but havent messed with it, that does give me access to the new expansion for time right?
to my knowledge, there isn't a year two pass. There's a year one pass, and a season 9 pass
neither of which are worth worrying about until you complete the dlc missions
what are named enemies again?
enemies that show a name above their (yellow) health bar
its on the epic store: Tom Clancy's The Division 2 Warlords Of New York Year 2 Pass
I've never heard it called that before, but looking at it it just seems to be the WONY dlc
which is definitely worth having
I'd suggest avoiding buying any further content until you've completed that and reached the level 40 endgame, though
I've completed the base story missions and instead of showing my level it shows score, what's the difference?
Also how do I get access to the countdown mission? Do I need the dlc?
in the world tier system at lvl 30 you have gearscore as your indicator of the rolls on gear, each world tier has its own upper and lower bounds to score, with 515 beign the top at world tier 5, this was the old system in year one, if you continue to WONY the gearscore will no longer be a factor
and for countdown you will need to have the dlc, and be at lvl 40
What is fastest way.to get exp
I'm lol 21 and it's taking.a long.time to lol up
Lvl
Level or shd 21?
Are they the same thing
With the question, it's probably level 21 
SHD level is what you get at 40 after completing the WONY expansion's main story
Oh I dont.have that.rn
It fixes your level to 700K XP and you can level infinitely
But you're still 40, just the SHD level is like a prestige thing
You get a point each level and you put them in a few stats that vary from 10% to 20%
Is the expansion worth.getting
So you can't actually infinitely raise one and it's more a system that elevates the base stats of the player
Well, most of the playerbase is in it, it gives you a new, smaller, city, new gear and a buncha other stuff
It's quite worth it
So would i.be.able.to.get.stronger.gear.if I'm still 30 and.dont.get.the.expansion
Yeah, but even the strongest gear at 30 will not compete with gear at 40
I wouldn't be.able to get.it.unless.it.drops in price a.lil bit
Do.u.think it.will go on sale
I asked about.getting.fast exp because there's a stronghold I need to.be.lvl 30 for
And it's not getting easier to lvl up
I don't remember how the leveling is, but you might be able to raise the global difficulty and do some activities for it
And if you haven't already, do side missions as well
21 kinda sus when your next stronghold is 30
Any tips for completing manning zoo in under 18 min? I feel I couldn’t kill enemy any quicker. Running a HB with catharsis w/a ACS12 and famas. Melting baddies but still only got 22:45 time. Seems like a lot of lengthy cut scenes. Tia
Which Directives you mark for a Heroic Floor 100?
All but Cool Skills and Pistolero, maybe?
nego dilemma or hunters fury, both with lady death. either or or have both in group.
also a fire player
scanner pulse to see where they are.
Will give that a go. Thanks
2 or 3 man runs preferably
Ah ok. Been running solo
try to use the lady death to kill adds exclusively. for the movement speed
Roger that thanks 🙏
drone+turret should be sufficient for most trials
HB is abit overkill when what you need to keep moving forward to the next chokepoint
I wonder what is the best weapon in division 2?
There's absolutely no reason for that kind of attitude.
No need to be like that, just be chill.
can you get catharsis from mask targeted if you havent gotten it from the track yet?
yes
so true
If I just farm the control points alert level 3 will I eventually after enough time gathered all the blueprints in the game?
time?
Yes, you will
most items are shared, aside from certain blueprints
resources are shared if you choose to do so.
All I can think of is having to run multiple agents in team
Ok cool thanks 😊
Can also mix it up by farming invaded missions once every reset
Nice. Thanks for telling:)
Street apparel when is this event i think it might be in july right?
@delicate tartan it is currently going on now...
Ok, thanks
