So right after the first apparel

forest lion
#

@delicate tartan oh, I didn't know there were two different ones... Nice, thanks for the heads up!!!

delicate tartan
#

Your welcome

jaunty dust
#

well, after garbage bags and plastic bottles and soda cans, we need some decent clothes...

delicate tartan
#

They are great the new clothes

jaunty dust
#

i dun like that they cover your gear, most of the time

#

even when it is just some clothes and cables, doesn't mean they have to get rid of my gear's appearance

delicate tartan
#

Well i think its good then gear is one thing

#

Its more importent to have clothes, descent

@dawn rampart You're looking for #lfg-pc

The Hunter in the manhunt mission almost instakills me in normal difficulty when I have 1.4M armor and 300K health? But when I wipe it says they only did 400K damage to me? Is this normal?

#

Does Lady Death drop from focus farming?

tulip fiber
#

Yeah, SMGs

wispy plinth
# tulip fiber Yeah, SMGs

Thanks. Been farming the whole day and gotten 7 Backfires and 0 Lady Death. Guess terrible RNG today.

how do I earn credits again?

jaunty dust
#

bounties

#

or sell whatever u junk in countdown

maiden mantle
#

What should I do now after having finished wony? I don’t have anyone to play with nor any guidance on what to do? I have a gear set but past that what how can I improve as a player?

jaunty dust
#

go do some league

feral wren
#

If you need or want gear sets and items you can farm countdown.

jaunty dust
#

then weeklies

feral wren
#

That is what I did after WoNY

maiden mantle

#

You can set the target loot to whatever you want but holding H

jaunty dust
#

if you have completed WONY main missions, just press escape (on PC), click on seasons for the league

#

for weeklies, check your projects

maiden mantle
feral wren
#

I liked the timed mission of league as well

jaunty dust
#

countdown is mostly meh, unless you are urgent need for a build, do that last

#

if you have a build and want more, play some raid and more legendary missions/summit

what's a good skill for sniper rifles?

feral wren
#

Decoy/drone/turret in my opinion are good. I would take one of those and revive hive.

#

For optimization i must have gear lc 40 to optimize it?

#

how about talents for sniper rifle?

Hey Rivens

safe valley
#

The hunters at night are unkillable unless you draw them out with certain puzzles and such because everytime I go out at night my screen blurs because I was being watched

inner tendon
#

You're mostly right, the "Hunters" that are watching you are commonly known as "Stalkers" and do no damage, flee once you approach/do damage, and drop no loot.

thin atlas
#

how naked talent works?

inner tendon
#

Naked: Hitting an enemy with no armor grants +50% headshot damage for 5s.

coral pagoda
#

is there a list of where to get certain weapon mod blueprints?

inner tendon
#

Yep, all in-game actually.
At the "Crafting Table" is lists the drop location of all the blueprints.
90% of them come from Control Points (CP) at Lvl 3 or 4.

coral pagoda
#

ohhk thanks

drowsy minnow
#

Do you need a requirement to drop uzina getica named items? i farm but never drops

inner tendon
#

Nope, both are available to farm anywhere.
Just remember the rule for farming in div2:
Targeted Loot: [Item type/brand] +Directives, Challenging or above.

are there any benefits to having a high shepherd rank? It's been pretty fun taking my build and aiding other players

At a certain level you will get an arm patch and a backpack trophy, but other than that it’s just being a good person 😊

I finished iron horse on normal yesterday but when I talk to anaya nothing happens

#

Go to your projects tab

#

Should see 2 projects

#

Gotta do those 2, then another 2 and one last one 😄

glossy summit
#

How useful are control points besides respawn? im asking this because I captured every single cp on my heroic map not sure if i should keep them or let the enemies capture them

#

the mats you gain out of these are not really helpful because you can just make another agent for the watch thing

narrow kraken
#

Don't bother keeping them all

#

Only time I'll do CPs is for manhunts or if it has something targeted that I want

#

Even then Countdown is better for that now

glossy summit
#

Ok

#

modern sparrow
#

Can i optimize lv30 gear?

#

Or reclibrate it?

ivory sundial
#

Pretty sure you can

#

However I think people here would recommend you do that after the dlc

karmic harbor
#

basically everything the game has to offer now is behind the dlc

#

optimising lvl 30 gear when you could get the dlc is a waste

cedar tide
#

I mean, if they don't want to get the DLC and if they're happy with staying at level 30 of WT5, that's fine. But the DLC is really where things get spicy and many will recommend it when it's on sale or something.

compact furnace
#

Wanted to buy the season pass, but the store says its empty? Is this a bug? Or is it because Im already at 100?

delicate tartan
#

Finished apparel event, next one is planed to be in 3 weeks. Im going to play guardians. It took longer then i thought. 4 levels up before i get 1 key. Should have been easier:)

nimble spruce
#

there's a whole extra week before it ends, plenty of time to get the necessary levels

delicate tartan
#

Nah im done kettle, but hope street apparel will launch in 3 weeks?!

#

👍

#

The catharsis headgear any good?

narrow matrix
#

Recalibration as well but … it depends

arctic tusk
#

what makes the Chill Out mask special?

ruby girder
#

i got an ar at the recal station and want to replace my current core attribute with another in my library. do ARs only have AR damage and health damage as core attributes?

#

or do i need to get another AR that has diff core attributes

true siren
#

the first two are always the same, ars have AR dmg and health damage, SMGs have SMG dmg and CHC, LMGs have LMG dmg and dttooc, ect ect

#

the third attribute and the talent can be changed, tho

arctic tusk
#

what does Chill Out have that makes it special? i don't see any maxed out stats or anything

true siren
#

2 mod slots instead of 1

ruby girder
#

oh ok sounds good

arctic tusk
#

dumb question but if i equip 2 named items, do i get extra proficiency?

narrow kraken
#

Well, you can't equip 2 of the same named items

#

Chill Out and Pointman will give some saucy Gila proficiency tho

wheat dew
#

How can i active man hunt in battle pass

inner tendon
#

@wheat dew Once you've unlocked the Manhunt you wish to complete (IIRC all 4 are available by Rank 68), then you go to the location of the mission and "toggle mission mode" until the text is yellow and says "Manhunt".

olive adder
#

Guys how do I change the spec that I spawned with? I got the grenade launcher, but I wanna switch it.

fallow inlet
#

@olive adder goto whitehouse walk in and look left you'll see it

olive adder
fallow inlet
#

@olive adder ok 😱do 2nd character properly from beginning and that will unlock the rest

olive adder
weary slate
#

Will there be a Division 3?

fallow inlet
#

When you do the game from the beginning you aquire all your shd and when you get to 30 you unlock your spec

fallow inlet
#

But you boosted your character right

olive adder
#

yes

#

I guess

#

can I not access that content with the same character that I'm playing rn?

fallow inlet
#

Ok goto haven and look for a spec person

Paul Rhodes?

fallow inlet
#

You'll have to complete wony then goto dc

olive adder
#

yeah I found him but he doesnt give you specs

jaunty dust
olive adder
#

only the skills

jaunty dust
#

Hmm, then I could have mistakened...

#

Need to finish up WONY then

olive adder
#

I found the spec NPC but why do I have 165 points unlocked for all specs except Firewall Gunner and Technician? @jaunty dust

inner tendon
#

Firewall, Gunner, and Technician were included later on, not part of the base game.

olive adder
true siren
# olive adder yes

you boosted, thats why. Boosting a character gives them all the points for the base 3 specs that were in the game at launch. As Rivs said, Firewall, Gunner, and Technician were released in mini updates later on, part of the year 1 pass.

#

If you dont own the year 1 pass you'll have to do the unlock sequence for it, but if you do, you can get points from the get-go by doing bounties, leveling up, and doing the weekly invaded missions.

olive adder
#

Thanks

#

Last question, how do I claim my weekly challenge reward?

inner tendon
#

Open the ubi-connect overlay (defaults to shift+f2) and click on "Challenges".

olive adder
#

Thanks alot 🙂

#

hi im quite new to this game, is there a way to upgrade your weapon?

#

to get the damage up

narrow kraken
#

If you're not level 40, it's better to find new ones of a higher level or quality

coral pagoda
#

does bleed hit health directly or is it armor first

narrow kraken
#

Armor first

#

It's a weaker fire that lasts longer

#

And doesn't make enemies panic

#

And comes from skills that are easier to apply it with

karmic harbor

I love it when my metal plating bleeds

hey saph

dusk kestrel
#

I have a question, does the dark zone give better gear than the world tier 5 targeted loot system? I don't have the expansion atm.

inner tendon
#

Not really, about even tbh.
I wouldn't worry about farming out gear if you plan on getting the expansion, every single thing you have (except for Exotics) will be junk when you do.

dusk kestrel
#

if I have an exotic with low score, should I discard it in the future?

inner tendon
#

Nope, keep it. You can "upgrade" them later on.

grave pivot
#

kinda new to the game what's the blue armour?

narrow kraken
#

Your "health" bar

#

It will increase the white squares you have above your orange health bar

trim verge

Does the 10% damage bonus to status affected enemies stack?

narrow kraken
#

Specialization bonuses won't stack with themselves

I was hoping for a 50% damage boost with a scorpio

Hello i have a problem when i finish the summit floor 100

#

I dont have the chest proyect

#

In the game i have New proyect but i dont see it

narrow kraken
#

Is there a way to keep high FPS?
most of the time whenever i'm on a zone that lowers my FPS to less than 30, i switch to windowed until the FPS go up again (60+)
and then go back to borderless
is there a way to keep that going?

oak talon
#

the game runs prety bad in borderless, but you can just use full screen, it functions as just most games have their borderless as but without many of the performance penalties , for example you can press esc and move you mouse to a second screen and click there without the game minimizing to taskbar as most games do in fullscreen, and you can even alt tab without it minimizing

ruby girder
#

ive noticed for the dps build on the spreadsheet that they recommened foxes knees but besides the rifle dmg what is their purpose over another item?

cedar tide
#

Perfect for rifle builds. But non-rifle builds surely benefit from the DTOOC bonus despite missing out on the gear bonus itself.

zenith pike
#

after the event is done are the items still buyable but with textil?

oak talon
#

depends on how they do it this time, but in the past they waited a while before they cycled the items into the apparel caches and made them available for textiles

thin surge
#

This is gonna be a tricky question for me to word
In the context of Countdown, is it better to target what you want to gain expertise in, Or is it better to target Mods and then deconstruct mods into filament to then donate to gain expertise?

I only ask because of what seems to be a high drop chance for mods and the higher yield of filament during deconstruct

zenith pike
#

quick question where is the best to farm god roll mods?

tulip fiber
#

Countdown, legendary can give some good ones as well

narrow kraken
# thin surge This is gonna be a tricky question for me to word In the context of Countdown, i...

Depends how far you are in expertise. My suggestion is to blanket farm all weapons first- as in target a weapon type and just keep donating until you have all the ones that can drop completed. Can easily hit expertise level 10 just by doing this BTW.

After that I think wearing the gearsets/using the skills and then targeting mods is better. You can also farm the gearset pieces but tbh that takes too long with just donations

#

Or wear the gearset and target it 😂

#

I didn't even notice I had all my brands done, just kept donating my trash and then boom, done

olive adder
#

Guys is it worth it to play at max difficulty with all directives?

jaunty dust
#

No

olive adder
jaunty dust
#

Heroic, 2-5 directives

dusk vortex
jaunty dust
#

Or just do any mission/trial

olive adder
jaunty dust
#

Countdown also give spec exp I believe

jaunty dust
olive adder
#

So thats max difficulty all directives no?

#

I have 5 directives and heroic is max diff

jaunty dust
#

Hmm, did they changed the directives?

olive adder
#

Idk but for me heroic is max and only 5 directives

jaunty dust
#

I remembered there was a pistol only directive. I could be wrong, it makes everybody wanna quit my session

#

Also the skill salvage, nobody likes my session XD

olive adder
#

for a solo starting players which directives should I pick for heroic?

jaunty dust
#

Ragers, Fog of War, Special Ammo

#

Also can try No Regen

#

Fragile Armor, Cool Skills, Skill Salvage, Pistolero you can try once you get more familiar with the game, but some people may leave your session

olive adder
#

I don't see fragile armor/pistolero

jaunty dust
#

Maybe they are in summit.

wraith flare
#

currently I'd say fog of war, ragers & one out of the other 3

#

I'd personally go for scavenged skills

jaunty dust
#

Fog of War is actually fun

#

Really need to watch your 6

#

Scavenged skills actually quite bad if you use shields but ok

wraith flare
#

depends on what shield you're using but 1-3 isnt bad for the striker shield

dusk vortex
#

Or can reliably get the spec ammo drop very quickly

#

Then expand to no regen and special ammo

dusk vortex
obtuse rose
#

Ok so what exactly IS this countdown thing? An event or a raid?

# olive adder So which difficulty/directives should I pick when playing?

in general:

  • fog of war is pretty easy to work around; you just have to use your eyeballs and look for enemies instead of just relying on the directional indicator
  • no regen is also pretty easy to work around; you don't usually regenerate armor in combat, anyway, and, between fights, if you're low on armor kits, the game will start dropping them for you
  • hard to earn is hit or miss; it depends on your playstyle, and whether or not you do things that fill the special ammo bar really quickly.
  • ragers is usually pretty easy to deal with; the extra HP that enemies get isn't that much, in the grand scheme of things
  • ammo hoarders isn't especially popular, as most people tend to spam reload after killing an enemy to make sure they have enough for the next enemy, so dropping the rest of the clip from a reload makes people angy (as does the reduced ammo cap).
  • pistolero is definitely a way to annoy people, because nobody uses pistols in combat unless they're absolutely forced to
  • scavenged skills, in theory, can lead to super-short cooldowns on skills. but most people don't really like having to run around to pick up the parts, and, if you're engaging at long range, you don't really want to have to get out of cover to go pick up the parts.
  • i don't think most people like cool skills, frankly. not being able to simultaneously use skills irks a lot of people.
  • don't use fragile armor, ever. people run around like madmen and build up stacks of broken armor that bring down their armor total, and applying an armor kit to remove a stack doesn't work half the time.
  • special ammo is fine, unless you're running a skill build and encounter black tusk. having a heavy gunner with special ammo really sucks to deal with.
dusk vortex
#

cool skill is bad if you use reviver hive with a disposable skill

covert marsh
#

yeah, anything with an annoyingly long cooldown (and for something with as much utility as the reviver hive) doesn't do well with cool skills

#

also makes it harder to switch loadouts when you're waiting for minutes on end for your reviver hive or chem launcher to fill all the way back up

#

also worth noting: hard to earn locks you out of opening armor kit boxes, and pistolero locks you out of being able to open ammo restock boxes

olive adder
#

Guys how do I see if I collected all the shd caches in a particular zone?

oak talon
#

in NY? the projects keep count per zone

olive adder
#

And do we only to discover all 5 shd caches in each zone once thats it? @oak talon in NY yeah

oak talon
#

yeah, you have to also actually grab them, you have to get 5 out of 5 per zone to as a part to get the liberation project done for that zone

what's the brand set of the Chainkiller?

true siren
delicate tartan
#

They put out today, Meintanance outfit? Apparel event?

true siren
#

The outfit is part of the apparel event that is ongoing.

delicate tartan
#

Yeah but they called it meintanance outfit, that was a bit confusing. But i managed to get all:)

true siren
#

Because the outfit is called Maintenance. The individual parts may have different names but most outfits have set names.

delicate tartan
#

Oja i did not recall that the outfit was called maintanence, since its maintanence day i thought it was something special 😉

#

Thanks kettle. I guess I just odn't even really know what to do. I've heard something about world tiers. I don't know if my gear is good, or what a build even is

nimble spruce
#

world tiers don't exist at level 40, they're from the pre-dlc endgame. At level 40, you'd want to focus on building up your recalibration library, gaining proficiencies/expertise, levelling up your new watch, etc

clever shell
#

ohhhhhh

nimble spruce
#

I'd suggest checking the season menu and turning on the 'guardians' event, which will give you something to focus on, and also checking out the daily & weekly projects, etc. You'll also want to run some level 3 or 4 control points to build your blueprint library, and also max out your specialization points. Lots to do!

clever shell
#

I'm looking at the builds now

#

How do I get level 3 and 4 control points?

fallow inlet
#

@clever shell incase your wondering. 1-30 , wt1-5 all other DC missions, then goto wony get watch start endgame

nimble spruce
#

either set your world difficulty to challenging (level 3) or heroic (level 4) or do the small tasks (eg propaganda broadcasts, territory controls etc) that have lines connecting them to control points, which will push them up a level

#

you may want to put together a half-decent build before going to Heroic though, it's much tougher than Challenging or lower difficulties

fallow inlet
#

I would suggest just pick fights and lvl up control points

clever shell
#

sounds like a good idea. Gonna try setting to challenging and see how it feels

nimble spruce
#

yeah that's sensible, heroic feels a bit 'punishing' and 'unfun' to players who don't want to push themselves (or who don't have a proper build)

inner tendon
#

It's all down to practice. Eventually, Heroic will feel like Challenging used to.

I just completed something, dont remember what it was but there was a notification that "Legacy manhunt missions" where available or something like that. I tried google it but found a 2 year old post that was not so helpful. What is this? And how do I access it?

theyre just unique missions that get you the season manhunt skills

You can get it as a drop in countdown

Countdown is hella good for farm items.

#

Unless agents spreads on map, ignore hunters or shot flare too early, etc.

should i come back to division 2?

But overall it's best for grind everything. :) Just set TL and make a go.

theres an emp sticky?

dusk vortex
#

Yep. Season 1 main target reward

coral pagoda
#

is it still possible to get it?
didnt know skills were season limited

dusk vortex

Yep. If you unlocked it from the season track you should be able to get it by completing said missions

ah but im a new player tho, guess i wont be able to get it then?

Toggle it like you would on invaded missions

that's not an item, it's a buff

each specialisation has it

FYI its jammer pulse and EMP sticky (there is no EMP pulse)

#

If I use the EMP grenade on a enemy, does that count as a "Status effect" debuff when using other bonuses from equipment?

foggy needle

yes, EMP grenade causes the basic disrupt status effect.

Hunters worry me more than black tusk . After all hunter work for homeland security

Whats the talent for the Bluescreen?

long talent, its on the spreadsheet too 😄

Hmm hunter working for homeland security but Allied with black tusk to kill us all this game is a constant clues and contingency everywhere

azure turtle

Homeland security vs the SHD

foggy needle

The deep state vs citizens militias

azure turtle
safe valley
#

So the citizens militias are the SHD and the deep state running black tusk and homeland security

#

This to me is an all out government war

#

Standard government known as the division vs a deep state government as black tusk and homeland

#

I’m starting to understand why people became paranoid over government secrecies every day

halcyon stag
#

Im curious are any of the developers willing to stand in front of me using a dustbin lid as a shield while i pummel them with a shotgun - should be fine since div2 teachs us that dustbin lids are immune to bullets/pellets 😄

It teaches us many interesting objects are bulletproof

azure barn

How do you do the floor 10 grind spot?

halcyon stag
#

trees being my favourite

#

@azure barn do the level but died before going through the doors at the end, its pointless all thats going to happen is you wont want to play the game anymore farming resource and activitys nets you the same you just dont get a burn out as easily

cinder roost
cinder roost

It works every 10 floors

Or just play countdown better drops when you kill the hunters

Clear Etage 10 and then restart

HE asked for floor 10 farm

cinder roost
#

That is the 10 floor farm . It works every 10 farms . Kill the boss Don’t kill all the NPCs grab your loot , return to lobby

green cedar
#

They are both farms. One for exp, another for loot.

#

Decide which one you want and the methods become different

cinder roost
#

Since countdown came out the summit is kinda pointless IMO

green cedar

Maybe not for mods.

You can get mods in countdown

hello everyone! question, if I want to play the game just for fun from time to time, will I find people outside the dlc in game modes like countdown and raids? (the dlc rn costs 10 dollars but I don't think I can dedicate much time to the game, i just want to play for fun for the time being) , and so, I want to know if it's still possible to find people frequently on the base game

narrow kraken
#

Countdown is swarming with people, but I don't know if at 30

acoustic lark
dusk kestrel
#

even countdown is only open for level 40 players, bruh, level 40 is the max level isn't it? and that can only be opened by the dlc

narrow kraken

Yep

supple swift
narrow kraken
#

my group just kills everyone then wipes

#

collect the loot every 20 mins or so

It's for drops, not exp. But it's true, it's better to do floor 90 or maybe hunter farm altogether instead.

versed apex
green cedar
#

It doesn't say, we can't know.

Until there's an answer, it's all guesswork. He has his answer regardless, in both cases.

Does the eagle bearer rifle drop from target exotics or just the raid?

just the raid

what's the purpose of getting a weapon to proficiency 10? I know you can "upgrade" it, but I don't really know what that means.

u cant upgrade until you hit proficient, which is proficiency level 10

#

what happens when you upgrade it?

supple swift
#

for weapons you get +1% damage for every expertise level you upgrade it to (max 20)
gear (armor) you get more armor.

did they use to have a difference?

shrewd orbit
#

Yes. Different names would be for specific mod slots/attributes iirc.

inner tendon
#

Mods use to be a little different back in the day.
Each type would be needed for a very specific mod slot on a gear piece, then "different stats", now they're identical.

Ahh, I thought it looked familiar I just couldn't place it bc it's fancy af in comparison to the normal Rogue logo.

it certainly beats my previous icon of "stolen from google images"

Your best bet will either be ingame or #lfg-raid-console, I believe there's a system on the consoles to find groups via the ingame chat, but cant speak to how effective it is.

Ah well, roll them dice on the LFG then.

The Talent is actively worse than just using a WH booster in like 90% of cases, at least in PVE.
With the techlaser buffs, im sure you can jury-rig something together that kicks.

there's a pvp build in the spreadsheet, i know that much.

vocal willow
#

Most effective ones are the ones I made myself lol

#

Anarchist cookbook builds are fun if you have a squadmate with ridgeway and you’re running Sadist

And HF would pair nicely with a coyote and tardigrade build

#

What's the item/talent that pulses enemies when you aim at them?

foggy needle
#

The tech laser weapon mod from the tech spec.

olive adder
#

oh ty 🙂

olive adder
#

Can we increase proficiency/expertise by having the item in our inventory and not equipped?

olive adder
#

Damn so you need to play everything to get max epertise

raw ridge
#

for a (reasonably) quick expertise gain farm countdown and just donate everything you don't need. Wich will be 99.9% of the loot you get) Start with weapons - AR for example. When you see that most you get you're already proficient with, change gear type and continue

#

for weapons it comes when around half of them reaches proficiency

#

also I saw people farming Tombs boss - don't know if it's still working after changes to an amount of xp for kills

maiden mantle
#

I’ve been farming blueprints from level 3 and 4 checkpoints, where might I view these blueprints at and where can I craft them?

hasty glacier
#

Crafting table at White House or at Haven in NY

maiden mantle
#

Thank you!

#

This game is confusing, but it is fun😅

hasty glacier
#

Don’t forget donations (near the vendor in the settlements and the side missions also give blueprints as rewards for certain tasks

maiden mantle
#

I most certainly won’t forget! Thank you!

maiden mantle
#

I wanted to ask, what is the point of me farming out all these blueprints and such?

hasty glacier
#

To create the mods …scopes, magazines, suppressors etc…the more you know the more options you have

#

Also to create gear itself

green cedar
#

@maiden mantle some are objectively better than others. If you're not bothered by incomplete things, just go for those and farm until you get them

hasty glacier
#

^ this for sure….in time you will get everything eventually

green cedar
#

And I say map but the blueprints you get from CPs and so on will come to you eventually like Six says

#

You'll have them if you play

maiden mantle
hasty glacier
#

Ah! There in lies the heart of it

green cedar
#

CHC mods, magazines with more rounds

hasty glacier
#

Once you’ve discovered your play style and more importantly what works for certain situations….

green cedar
#

Those are the more common

#

Just play the game, yeah.

#

Then come back once you have a playstyle you like and we can help you with builds

maiden mantle
#

That makes sense!

#

But that brings me to yet another question

#

What should I be doing as someone who has no idea what I should be working towards to take on harder content?

#

I’ve been collecting gear sets and have a myriad of pieces sitting in my inventory I have no clue how to put together

hasty glacier
#

Look at the bonuses they give and how they relate to your play style …

#

Sets give bonuses…for example 3 pieces of “walker harris” give all 3 of those bonuses or 4 pieces “hunters fury” give those 4 bonuses….

#

You can also mix and match if you only need a single bonus from that piece….example being “damage to target out of cover” from “foxes prayer” knee pads

#

Play style and combat situations make all the difference in how you build…

#

There is no right or wrong, only what works better for YOU

#

For the most part there are 3 types of builds and those branch off into a myriad of options…DPS, SKILL and TANK….SKILL builds can be very versatile primarily dps and healers….

#

Try everything and experiment….

stable kite

Hey guys, the reward for reaching level 58 in the season pass is the Tidal Basin Manhunt (Hornet).
How do we actually play those Manhunt target missions from the season pass reward?
Do we just need to play Tidal Basin in this case?

on pc its hold g, then on that screen you hold g again to toggle the mission

#

by the way what is the most efficient way to farm guardians?

#

Does playing in challenging or heroic spawns more guardians?

steady terrace
#

No it spawns tougher guardians

#

Do something like cp or keep doing matchmaking missions

#

I took a break after killing the first lieutenant, but can I still kill The second one that came out?

yeah for as long as the season is up still (little under 10 weeks)

#

hi all - is it still possible to get the TDI kard custom?

tribal moat
#

yeah dz or named item cache

steady terrace
cedar tide
#

I don't think you could get TDI Kard from Countdown even with targeted looting pistols. I thought it was DZ locked or named caches only.

tall maple
#

how do I get the btsu datagloves? I'm tired of camp oak

cedar tide
#

Target loot for gloves as your loot and pray to the gods that you get it soon enough. You could do open world areas where gloves are targeted or set it as target loot in Summit or Countdown. It's all random at the end of the day so no guarantees @tall maple

tall maple
#

can it drop from anyone or just blacktusk?

tribal moat
#

target loot gloves? anything

cedar tide
#

It can drop either way

tall maple
#

btsu gloves specifically

dusk vortex
#

Yes, same as coyote's mask, merciless, sawyers, and NYC exotics which used to be just mission specific

cedar tide
#

iirc, it used to be just from hunting named Black Tusk elites or named enemies. But now I suppose they're part of general loot pool

tribal moat
#

idk where rumor for cwo started but certainly wasnt the only source

#

(also dont watch 2-3 year old videos/guides for this kinda info)

cedar tide
#

It might have been the case when it initially released back in the vanilla days

#

TU5-ish? Whenever Camp White Oak was first introduced. Vaguely remember struggling to farm BTSU gloves because skill builds were the meta back then

tribal moat
#

yeah but even back then they could drop from any black tusk

#

was never a fan of skill builds so barely used it anyways

tall maple
#

dude idk I have like 500 hours in this game and I never saw these gloves

#

if I didn't see them on the internet I wouldn't even know they exist

cedar tide
#

In my 31 days of playing, I've only got it 8 times in total.

tall maple
#

that's a lot

cedar tide
#

Like those odds can't get any better than that 😂

#

But I've gotten it more than Orbit and BTSU gloves ain't even my priority.

Am I able to ask questions here?

Not without my permission

pulsar abyss
#

😂

#

I apologize in advanced for this absolutely stupid question, but I just started playing I’m now level 5 so it said I could play online, how the hell do I queue up for an online match?

foggy needle
#

for a pvp match? thats only at end game.

pulsar abyss
#

Yes, pvp.

#

What do you mean end game?

foggy needle
#

Er well end game means “once you are fully leveled and beat the story”.

#

so level 30 world tier 5 of base game or level 40 for DLC.

pulsar abyss
#

Oh so I have to play the story for this whole time?

#

Well, I found this tab in the map marked “conflict” with a tab called quick play. I clicked on it but have been sitting here for 20+ minutes and still hasn’t found any matches

foggy needle
#

its because nobody pvps until end game.

pulsar abyss
#

Oh

#

So about how long does it take to get to end game?

foggy needle
#

depends on how much you play.

pulsar abyss
#

Oh ok thanks

foggy needle
#

If you no life you can get to end game in a day. But you are still going to want a decent build to pvp. Also will need the DLC if you truly want a chance in pvp.

#

But just FYI, the pvp in this game is, not something the devs focus on. It’s a PVE game with pvp on the side.

pulsar abyss
#

Ok thanks!

#

And pve means playing against the ai, correct?

cedar tide
#

Yep, PvE = playing against bullet sponges AI enemies and stuff

pulsar abyss
#

Ok thanks

chilly grove
#

If I set target loot to bag packs in summit/countdown, does every variant of bag pack in LZ pool have the same chance of dropping?

#

Excluding named

foggy needle
#

Yes, the drops are not weighted each one has an equal chance.

chilly grove
#

Wouldn't half of them be 5.11 then?

foggy needle
#

half no?

#

its 1 in (sum of total brands) chance of it being a 511 bag if a brand drops

chilly grove
#

That was a trick question. Gotcha

#

I specifically said variant and not brand

foggy needle
#

oh you mean the skins? yea equal chance

Hello, I have a probably dumb question, but do the hunters in NYC (Trip, Lucky, Veil and Paranoid) have checkpoints? Like if I shoot the first six targets, can I then leave the session and join someone elses game, or do you really have to do it in one sitting?

#

No checkpoints

marble knot
#

?

#

i don't think i have a build yet

cedar tide
#

I, too, recently came back and there was a lot of things to do in which I felt quite overwhelmed.

A good start is WONY. You got it by any chance?

cedar tide
#

If that's the case, and you have the SHD watch, you could focus on your optimal build and gear. If you've figured out what playstyle you enjoy playing with, figure out what pieces you need and grind like there's no tomorrow 😂

marble knot
#

where can i look to find a build?

End game after WONY is literally just improving your gear and builds and getting more improved and improving more until the end of time petter

If the rewards of a CP4 only show crafting materials and field recon data, have I collected all possible BPs?

Yea those exotic crafting parts, will not drop if you already have the weapon on you or your stash (works for all crafted parts).

I even did a run with an all red perfect GC build

#

So I saw something about Hunters hacking your skills, went looking around online...I was originally going to do a technician drone/turret build, is that build basically useless because of Hunters? Should I just give up on a "pet" build?

can you turn the protector buff on for legendary?

unpopular opinion: drone + turret is never good

it's convenient

Well I have a hand disability so easy and convenient are somewhat mandatory :p Also, I finished the story finally. Once I do the WT1 tusk missions that's basically it for post-story, right? Go to DLC after that?

jaunty dust
#

Turret+Drone is for frustration-less legendary

#

If you want to use other builds, more power to you

weary osprey
narrow kraken
#

Oh I don't mean the skills suck, I mean the builds people make around them are complete garbage. T0 Assault Turret can take on 1000 NPCs at once, it's good at that for sure

weary osprey
#

😄

#

I just can't help but think, whenever I see a different skill, "Why use that when I can use this (turret)?"

olive adder
#

Guys s it better to spec into a crit build or a headshot damage build? Like when you have crit build, even headshots can crit no?

jaunty dust
#

Depends on what you are doing

olive adder
#

PvP/DZ

#

but can headshots crit yes or no?

jaunty dust
#

Headshot builds deal more damage, but you need to hit heads. Not everything has a head (unless you run archilles)

#

Headshot crits

olive adder
#

so its not better to run a build like 50% crit chance, 170% crit dmg and approximately 60% headshot damage, than to run a 170% headshot dmg build with no crit?

jaunty dust
#

In DZ I believe there are only 2 kinds of PvPers, those who aim heads and those who dont

olive adder
#

im talking in build only

iron vale
#

a lot of people run shields on dz. might as well go for headshots lol

olive adder
#

aiming heads ofc

#

but mathematically speaking

jaunty dust
olive adder
#

what do u mean?

jaunty dust
#

CHC/CHD can come natively from weapons, watch, specialisation and other stuff

#

You just have less of Crits

#

HSD builds generally work better in PvP

olive adder
#

That wasn't my question, my question is, mathematically, isn't it better to have a 50% CHC, 170% CHD and 60%+ headshot damage build than just a flat 160% or 170% headshot damage build

#

if headshot crits too

#

'cause CHC/CHD buffs headshots

jaunty dust
#

50chc 170chd 60hsd build hmm, dun think possible

olive adder
#

but not the other way around right?

#

its possible i'm watching a video of a build that has that

jaunty dust
#

All high Ends?

#

Perhaps then

olive adder
#

49% CHC, 150% CHD, 85% headshot dmg

#

yes all high ends but catharsis and eagle bearer

#

So mathematically, which one is better?

jaunty dust
#

No idea

olive adder
#

Does someone know?

narrow kraken
#

CHD and HSD are added together in the damage formula

olive adder
#

what does that mean?

#

so you either go for CHD or for HSD?

jaunty dust
#

This reminds me to recalibrate some attributes of my FMJ build to HSD from CHC

foggy needle
#

So chc + chd or HSD and handling (are the combos)

narrow kraken
#

You said this is a PvP build right? Go for the crit build, trust me

olive adder
#

Yeah PvP

I'm playing on PC, mouse & keyboard

#

so headshots arent hard tbh

narrow kraken
#

😃

olive adder
#

should I still go for crit?

narrow kraken
#

nope go hsd ofc

olive adder
#

don't troll me, you just said go for the crit build

narrow kraken
#

if you're that confident in hitting headshots lol

olive adder
#

I'm just trying to figure out whats best in theory

foggy needle
#

Unless you are a complete god at headshots 24/7, crit will always out dps Headshots.

green cedar
#

The theory is that headshots always do more damage

narrow kraken
#

if you hit the head 😆

foggy needle
#

Yes theory

green cedar
#

Yeah, the theory. Actual field work is different

jaunty dust
#

CHC and CHD until you maxed out CHC (weapon CHC first), do HSD/Handling on gears/gearmods for those you can't do CHC I guess

green cedar
#

You're gonna have to hit those headshots while someone is running around, there's camera shake from explosions and getting shot, ADS gets removed because of status, etc.

narrow kraken
#

no no he's on pc, he has a mouse AND a keyboard for crying out loud!

#

SURELY he will only hit headshots

olive adder
#

lol

jaunty dust
#

Fire will make him hipfire, no?

olive adder
#

you're funny

green cedar
#

Yeah

#

Fire forces hipfire

jaunty dust
#

Just go for Crits

#

HSD is for those people who like living on edge

olive adder
#

thanks for your input guys, I got my questions answered 🙂

green cedar
#

Crits are far safer. If you're in a team, sure, have someone with headshots only.

#

While others are fighting, you can pop heads without having to worry much.

jaunty dust
#

That person probably a sniper

#

Or EBer

green cedar
#

Yeah.

#

I need to make a PvP EB build.

foggy needle
#

Even for EB, you still run crit builds as it's more dps then HSD builds in actual use.

green cedar
#

Oh, definitely.

#

EB is just great because it's a huge advantage if you start the fight with Tenacity.

foggy needle
#

Non sniper HSD builds are purely for fun :) but are very fun !

green cedar
#

I want to do some DZ at some point, with a group. Cause screw doing it alone.

foggy needle
olive adder
#

so if I play solo i'd rather go crit build yes?

foggy needle
#

If you want higher dps go crit build.
If you want lower dps but "more fun" go HSD build.

olive adder
#

"more fun" as in?

green cedar
#

If you want to actually have fun and not be stressed out of your life in DZ, get a group.

olive adder
#

'cause you're still gonna try to headshot with a crit build right @foggy needle

green cedar
#

Nothing more frustrating than getting the drop you want and then getting wrecked by a group of rogues.

foggy needle
#

Regardless of build, you always aim for heads if/when you can hit it, it's just not always an option.

Once i get all items from the apparel cache (not the event one) can i still open it over and over for textiles?

olive adder
#

Guys why are the core attributes I get only red (damage)? Does it depend on the gear? or is it pure RNG?

@narrow kraken yep I've got over999 of them I open 100 whenever I'm on

#

Hi, what means the stat "Status Effects"? Extra duration the enemy gets the status effect, status effect damage?

narrow kraken
#

Both

marsh mango
#

Does the Elite Agent pack inside the Ultimate Edition give extra stash space beyond what you can already get in the game by other means?

#

Hm, I think I just answered this from a 2019 article... the extra stash space from the Elite Agent Pack looks like it was just a headstart for anyone who was jumping in, but it's not above and beyond normal campaign + endgame stash capacity.

narrow kraken
#

Yeah, we're actually not getting a bigger stash

#

Or so I heard someone say someone from Massive saying, because server issues of raising every player's stash or something

marsh mango
#

Yeah it makes sense. Inventory/database load is a big issue for MMORPGs too, so I've heard.

Where is the best place to farm ?

#

Is it worth the time to grind all the stars in the guardians event to buy exotic caches? I just need 11 more stars to finish Tier 10 reward. If I want, I can complete all of the objectives. But it feels too grindy, although the reward is exotic cache

plucky mesa
plucky mesa
#

There's easier ways to get Exotic Caches too...

#

There's a donate project you can do to get an Exotic Chest every week.

#

it takes like 5 seconds to donate

#

why?

#

just complete the project with your main, and receive your cache

#

unless i'm missing something...

#

yea sure

#

f that 😆

#

I'm not grinding Expertise, I'm just gonna let it go up on it's own through donations. level 8 already so it won't take too long. Upgrades are another thing I won't grind

coral pagoda
#

the status effect attribute affects both damage and duration of statuses right

plucky mesa
#

shiiiiiit - i have 190 Ex. components

#

not gonna last long

#

but i want Regulus, M870, White Death, Mantis and Nemesis upgraded first

nimble spruce
#

Someone loves their headhunting

plucky mesa
#

I k now right - but it makes the biggest difference to those builds because of the way HH works.
@nimble spruce

nimble spruce
#

Yeah the first weapon I started upgrading was my mantis for that very reason, just laughing at how many different hh weapons you use

dusk vortex
#

Shotguns and HH is naughty

#

Do I need WONY to get the Heartbreaker set?

nimble spruce
narrow kraken
#

Is proficiency based on xp? i.e., faster on higher difficulty/directives?

nimble spruce
#

Nope

#

You get increased xp from elites though

narrow kraken
nimble spruce
#

Not in terms of proficiency, obviously you'll get more shd levels and better loot on a higher difficulty

#

I'd recommend challenging, because it stops you getting purple items in loot (and you can't donate them to proficiency)

#

But if normal is far faster, then just stick with that for now

desert otter
#

where do i farm for coyotes mask

iron vale
odd condor
#

How quickly do support/group oriented brands and gearsets gain proficiency? I've gotten proficiency with Negotiators', Heartbreaker, Hunters' Fury, Eclipse Protocol and Ongoing Directive decently quickly for the time I've spent in the game since Expertise was introduced, but if I were to play a healer build with Future Initiative or using True Patriot to apply debuffs to enemies rather than killing them outright in a party, how long would that take me?

foggy needle
#

the xp is exactly the same but is still gained on kills, so those support builds kill less= less xp gained. of course can always donate which is the same for all.

odd condor
foggy needle
#

um well tht is PTS math, and i know donating had a change so not sure when the math is.

Does the Catharsis mask drop in targeted loot from Countdown??

foggy needle
#

the new exotics im not sure if they are in target loot, they were added, removed, added, removed that im not sure atm.

#

they are still in the Exotic cache though and you get 1 from the season track.

brave jetty
#

Sweet good to know. Any tips for a new player on quick leveling for the season?

foggy needle
#

dont worry about the levels just play the game, the levels come 😄

They are in general loot pool still

Does anyone know why I didn't receive a exotic from the pass?

foggy needle
#

season pass doesnt grant you and exotic, the season track does but once you reach the required unlock level.

hey saph

arctic tusk
#

why is it when i disconnect from a heroic mission i end up getting kicked

nimble spruce
#

might be an auto-kick (depending on how long it took you to reconnect, what with the game being so slow to boot these days) or the other players just got tired of being one short and wanted a replacement

arctic tusk
#

it's not even 2 minutes. there's no way they would kick me that fast. and i'm assuming auto-kick happens instantly because it doesn't matter how fast i reconnect, i still get removed

cedar tide
#

It's probably the latter in which the group leader gets impatient and immediately kicks the DC'd player out of the group so they can matchmake for a new member before the boss. That DC timer is much longer than 2 minutes, I guarantee you.

azure turtle
#

how do I obtain the Oiled Hammer Guards? I did the quest when the holster originally released but I dont remember how to get the final part. Ive looked it up and seen Outcast CP4 but no CP4 has given me it

azure turtle
#

Unrelated but floor 10 farming not giving xp/loot? I kill boss, no xp no loot

green cedar
#

You clear the floor, not just kill the boss

arctic tusk
green cedar
#

And the boss will only give loot the first time every floor reset

#

And by reset I mean going back to lobby and back to the floor, which only works if it wasn't completed

#

Thus making dedicated exp farm and dedicated loot farm incompatible

azure turtle
green cedar
#

Farming loot, but not exp. People farm exp for the most part in floor 10

cedar tide
#

Like if you were wiped before you DC'd, that still is about reconnecting anyway. It's just counterintuitive, imo

arctic tusk
#

thats why im confused. my wifi seems to act up when i play D2 specifically, which may sound weird but i tend to disconnect, and it's just the game but my house

cedar tide
arctic tusk
#

im assuming it's something on my end if it's enough to basically tell my laptop there is literally no wifi connections available at times. I just feel like there is NO way they can kick me that fast when they were still looking for people

azure turtle
#

So will I only be able to get XP from F10 then?

azure turtle
#

I dont get loot, only ammo, craft mats, and special ammo :(

olive adder
#

Guys is there a way to know which example has a certain talent I'm looking for? (named weapons) like a database somewhere to see which weapon has which talent as a named weapon

oak talon
olive adder
#

Can someone explain stability vs accuracy to me? Stability is pure recoil and accuracy is the little dot in the crosshair that moves?

#

(For an AR/Smg)

oak talon
#

stability reduces the vertical recoil on weapons, accuracy reduces how far off the centre the shots can fall

olive adder
#

ok nice

#

I feel like accuracy is so much better on AR's damn

#

Are stability/accuracy stats on weapons completely random for each gun/named gun/exotic?

oak talon
#

each gun variant has its set acc and stab, they never vary for the same item

olive adder
oak talon
#

yes, in the description the bars are with your stats added in, so they grow if for example you have allot of weap handling

#

but the base acc and stab of that item is always the same between that same gun variant

olive adder
#

thx dude 🙂

latent plinth

any idea why app is crashing constantly? directx is off

olive adder
#

Guys the C79 Scope how does it work? Can you zoom in with it?

#

Because compared to any other attachment (scope) I put, it has the same "hipfire zoom" when I aim

inner tendon
#

As long as a scope mentions a magnification, then you can zoom in.
The default key is "Tab" while aimed.

valid forum
#

guys question for anyone if you know. does the talent spotter works for ally or only the talent holder?

rocky wyvern
#

I'm using a shotgun and a rifle. I think it's kinda slow, should I replace shotgun with an automatic weapon? Shotgun has bomb damage though.

narrow kraken
#

The only way to make pulse amplify damage is to overcharge the skill that applies it

If I won't have time to do all weekly and daily challenges, does any of the projects stand out in terms of rewards??

Thanks @nimble spruce

I also do material donation cause that's like the easiest weekly challenge

modern sparrow
#

Is it important to complete all the project that included blueprint?

#

i dont've NYC DLC

#

& why should i play raid i still didnt get it

nimble spruce
#

you don't have to play raids, there's a couple of exotic weapons you can't get anywhere else but you'll manage just fine without them

patent vigil
#

I wouldn't mind doing the raids but, yea

covert marsh
# olive adder Guys the C79 Scope how does it work? Can you zoom in with it?

anything under 8x doesn't auto-zoom in when you ADS (i.e. C79, ACOG)
8x and above auto-zoom in when you ADS (CQBSS, VX-12, Digital scope)
(this was probably a response to the way div1 worked, where no scopes auto-zoomed at all when you ADS, and you had to remember to click the zoom button to look down the scope)

arctic meadow
#

Best way to skill expertise level up fast as possible?

green cedar
#

You'd just end up seeing most people running those scopes if they could third person with them since their numerical boost reasonably outweighs the CHC 5% boost.

#

Sadly, the issue remains, now tied to nearly omnipresent CHC mods

narrow kraken
#

I wish I could just toggle the medium scopes on outside of aiming

#

I can't even do some C79 sniping with a bolt-action without scoping out every damn shot

green cedar
#

I'd agree. It would probably lead to more people using said scopes. Hopefully without becoming a div1 situation

desert otter
#

how am i hitting 2-4m dmg in countdown with my m4

karmic harbor
#

question: who thinks some of the attachments should be buffed?

#

like i see no reason why youd use the PRO sight that gives you 5% stability when you can have 5% weapon handling, same thing for 3% headshot and crit damage mods unless youre already at your crit cap

stray hollow
#

What's better vigilance or bloodsucker

karmic harbor
#

depends

#

what are you trying to do

#

i usually see vigilance more so im guessing in most cases that

stray hollow
#

I go with the cover and weapon tactic, I was thinking this perk of bloodsucker more useful for the blazing tank type of tactic

stray hollow
karmic harbor
#

come to think of it bloodsucker is rarely used from what ive seen

#

though you probably could make it work

#

id just go with vigi

stray hollow
#

If you use crusader with an armor build its useful but that type of tactic needs you to be close range

narrow kraken
#

Do gear sets level up the proficiency rank the higher the attributes?

inner tendon
#

Nope, even.

narrow kraken
#

Is there a difference between cp, summit, raids, countdown etc that's faster than the other?

night bison
#

countdown is stil the fastest i believe

inner tendon
#

Countdown and Summit have selectable Targeted Loot, cp's main benefit is the guaranteed named enemies on CP4 (and the blueprints if you need them) and Raids are kinda bad for farming, since you've got jobs to do in there, more-so than pure killing.

narrow kraken
#

I don't want to farm, I want to just upgrade the rank

inner tendon
#

Your best bet to do that is to just "use" the Rank, not that it does much more than incredibly minor buffs anyway.

#

Countdown is incredibly simple to find groups for, since the ingame matchmaking takes all of 10 seconds.

narrow kraken
#

Yeah, just some of the gearsets aren't suitable for countdown. It's only good for farming imo

stray hollow
#

I haven't tried countdowns yet but are they something that can be done solo?

narrow kraken
#

Depends which mission in the countdown, in theory if you're fast enough. I've heard some claim they've done it with 2

inner tendon
#

You can "donate junk" to help increase the items that you don't have equipped in Countdown.
Just set the TL to the gearset you want and then boom.

inner tendon
stray hollow
narrow kraken
#

Do we have any news on devs fixing the game instability/performance?

#

Given they don't communicate to us

inner tendon
#

Countdown is free if you own WONY.
@narrow kraken MSV are known for keeping their cards close to their chest, but right now there's a bunch of fixes over in #unofficial-troubleshooting, the reddit link in there helped fix mine, worth a shot.

narrow kraken
#

Them keeping their cards close to their chest has caused many community members to give up on div2

also for some global events you can use the grenade launcher for grenade kills, but not this global event, so just for in the future, always check if the grenade launcher works first as that is much easier
