And made a new character so I wouldn't screw up the scaling

#

And he invites me into his world

narrow kraken
#

Alright, good, wanted to make sure, yeah if you invited him to the friend program then you have to be the leader
You have to invite him to YOUR world
Otherwise it wont work

green cedar
#

Aye aye. Thanks

stray hollow
#

I wanna ask do you start the WoN after you finish the normal campaign or the black tusk one?

green cedar
#

After Tidal, lorewise

stray hollow
#

I've taken a breake for more than a year so I'm not sure how things work right now, what I meant I just killed ridgeway and the black tusk started, do I need to finish the black tusk before I start the warlords of newyork (without the boost)

green cedar
#

Yes

#

You need to finish the World Tiers before getting on the helo without a boost

stray hollow
#

Ok this helps a lot thanks

green cedar
#

Cheers

grim smelt
#

I asked this in general but I just bought the deluxe edition of the game and was wondering if I should boost my character to level 30? I have a level 7 and a level 8 from when the game first launched

true siren
#

just play through the game once, doesnt take too long and i mean, you did pay for it

#

so might as well play through the story

fallow inlet
#

@grim smeltrun 1 of the characters all the way thru 1st then boost the otherds

proven canopy
#

Hey all, new to the game. Is countdown the best way to get loot? Been doing it for a bit but haven't gotten anything I would like. Should I keep grinding it or is there better ways to get good gear?

fair bone
#

Is double XP on everything? Summit, open world, etc??

#

I've been getting 32k per floor doing summit today, didn't seem much

paper elk
#

Kill wyvern when the door open and game spawn 1 more wyvern =)))

tulip fiber

proven canopy
#

Ahh then is their a specific set I should build before I go for the better gear? @paper elk

proven canopy
#

Yes, any specific build I should get for starters?

paper elk
proven canopy
#

I have 2 pieces with glass cannon... put those on and the rest of the pieces I should put on gear that gives skill damage and dps correct? Or? Sorry if they're dumb questions 😅 @paper elk

calm venture
#

So if i use level booster what i missed?

fallow inlet
#

@calm ventureonce you do the booster then you miss alot of stuff in dc that goes away

calm venture
#

So i just play steady and slow right? Idk i am veteran in td1 i just running and speedrunning through mission

fallow inlet
#

that works just keep doing project and picking fights

calm venture
#

So what about exotic and named weapon in this game they tied with dlc?

fallow inlet
#

yes and no liberty pistol, nemisis sniper, chatterbox smg are not

manic slate
#

in short, u can only reached endgame with DLC

calm venture
#

Damn

#

I should buy now? Because it has offer

fallow inlet
#

absolutly

calm venture
#

Is this game p2w?

fallow inlet
#

not really

#

but you just gotta get good

manic slate
#

no p2w, just buy the base game and dlc and git gud

fallow inlet
#

the only thing you pay for are cosmetics

calm venture
#

So if another dlc come out it seems you forced to buy that dlc

manic slate
#

yeah that's kind of bshjt, but worth it

fallow inlet
#

there is tons of stuff todo before you get to the end of the 9th season

calm venture
#

Does green gear set different between td1 and 2?

true siren
#

the last time peeps were "forced" to get a DLC was warlords of new york, which
-goes on sale pretty often
and
-came out like 2 years ago

#

gearsets have the same idea as td1 but are different in td2

calm venture
fallow inlet
#

dont worry about gear until lvl 40

#

after wony

manic slate
true siren
#

genshin and division are very different

fallow inlet
#

im just waiting for Heartland

narrow kraken
#

that had to be specified

manic slate
#

finding good gears with right talents is pain

calm venture
#

Heartland is td3 or just survival game?

narrow kraken
#

it is a... loot shooter... no? XD

fallow inlet
#

its fun

manic slate
#

more like MMORPG with gunning elements <(")

fallow inlet
#

balanced

calm venture
#

Does this game has weekly Livestream about games?

fallow inlet
#

some times

calm venture
#

Can you get green sets gear through normal world or joining special event?

fallow inlet
#

normal world

#

ans special events

calm venture
#

I see less pain unlike td1 like back they introduce special event where you only get it in special event

fallow inlet
#

you dont have 6pc classified

calm venture
#

Only 4?

fallow inlet
#

yup

#

but not classified

calm venture
#

Damn classified such fun in td1

true siren
#

fun but broken

manic slate
#

20 alphabridge boxs with no gloves still haunt me

fallow inlet
#

i love nomad

calm venture
#

Alphabridge is fun in pve it supposed broken pvp

fallow inlet
#

im almost unkillable takes 3-4 rouges to kill me

calm venture
#

In pvp td2 same concept throwing shock grenade and frag grenade before open fire?

manic slate
#

gun and run, with bulky build

azure turtle
#

Should I start buying exotic caches from countdown vendor? Is it worth?

supple swift
azure turtle
#

Im shooting for the Scoprio, havent gotten one yet and my TL in countdown is shotguns. Have done around 12 runs or so with shotguns and no exotics so far

supple swift
azure turtle
#

Sad! thanks, Ill tell my RNG to get better then

azure turtle
#

I always go like "LF Scorpio, if have one, please drop spare"

#

but it seems nobody ever shares in CD

#

for anything

supple swift
#

well people need exo components these days for upgrades so people are less inclined to give em away lately

silk scroll
supple swift
#

pre TU15
"hey newbie, need this exotic? oh you already have it? keep it anyway. free exotic component for you"

TU15:
"my exotic drop. all mine. go get your own"

azure turtle
#

Maybe the secret is to not ask for a Scorpio or get rid of my hopes for one. Maybe then a hunter or named enemy will drop it. Ive asked a lot or thought about a Scorpio lately and have gotten noth.

azure turtle

#

Does the Pointman not count to Expertise? Im looking in the list and I dont see it on there

supple swift
#

yeah. typical devs. but it does. to an item which is a regular gila chestpiece

narrow kraken
#

Will they ever fix the heartbreaker set not being able to be painted/change transmog?
I want to use one of my old clothing sets, but the heartbreaker set makes it look ugly and chonky

azure turtle
#

If anything and they dont, you might need to switch tops or use clothing to hide whatever piece youre hidijng

glacial vector
#

Is a stronghold solo a good idea?

azure turtle
#

what level?

glacial vector
#

I'm 28, it's 26

azure turtle
#

You should be fine

#

its District Union right?

glacial vector
#

Ye, hyenas

azure turtle
#

yeah you should be fine, just be cautious for a first time run

summer barn
#

Welp. Just solo'd the entire manhunt from start to finish and week three's key did NOT play nor register. Totally not doing that again.

#

Did anyone else run into this? Or am I unlucky? 😛

last thorn
#

yes i know this. from the thousands of hours of experience. but im asking where the proof for this is?
like in the code. how do we know that the "dice roll" (besides from just experience) that the roll for a named item
is before or after targeted loot?
like did someone data mine this or a dev said it?
and if so can i have the proof of this.
cuz i couldve sworn 2-3 years ago some dev said it somewhere...

inner tendon
#

Your question is a bit vaguely worded, what exactly do you want to know? In a single sentence.

errant bloom
#

whats the best way to farm crafting materials

narrow kraken
#

No there is no "proof" of the fact that targeting a brand is likely to get you the named item(s) of that brand. If a dev said something it was probably extremely vague and not worded in terms of probability like you have it.

supple swift
#

brand: 1 in 6
gear type: 1 in as many brands there are

inner tendon
#

There almost doesn't need to be proof.
Okay so say you're looking for a Provi' chest, the named "Sacrifice".
Think about how many Chests in Division there are, compared to how many options if you change the TL to "Providence".

spark light
#

Hey guys does cayote mask stack and give us 35% for both chd and chc or is it 25% for both ?

inner tendon
#
0-15m: +25% critical hit damage
15-25m: +10% critical hit chance and +10% critical hit damage
25m+: +25% critcal hit Chance
A group member can receive all 3 damage buffs at the same time
However, a group member can only have 1 of each damage buff at a time
(e.g. if there are 2 CQC players, you will still only get +25% critical hit damage)"```
fossil harness
#

how hard is it to get the nightwatcher mask ive been farming masks and gila gaurd to find it but no luck

inner tendon
#

Ignore "Masks" as an option for farming it out, since there are way more Masks than just Gila Masks in game.
The 2 methods right now are as follows;
Targeted Loot: [Gila] +Directives, Challenging or above.
or Countdown with Gila as TL.

fossil harness
#

ive been doing count down for past 3 days and nothing

inner tendon
#

Well each Directive added on slightly increases your chance for a TL drop to spawn.
but at the end of the day, it's all RNG.

jaunty dust
#

Gila should be working for countdown, there's only 2 Gila Named right?

supple swift
#

3

jaunty dust
#

since chilled out is not in the normal loot

inner tendon
#

Correct, Chill Out is not in Countdown right now (although it temporarily was), so your Named options for there are Poiintman and Nightwatcher.

jaunty dust
#

u can do the nasty and hunt hunters in countdown

#

or just do countdowns

supple swift
#

hunters at start, their drops are random

inner tendon
#

You may be somewhat confused about how TL works.
TL is an additional drop on top of their regular Loot.

fossil harness
#

been trying everything i just have bad luck

inner tendon
supple swift
#

you can always indicate you wanna do hunter only farm in LFG
additionally it can be done solo or duo

inner tendon
#

If it's a set up LFG with only the team in there, absolutely go for it.
but in regular Countdown, leaving straight after killing them is considered bad manners.

narrow kraken
#

I'm creating a second character and gonna do the whole game without boosting him once
am an idiot for it?

modern sparrow
#

I've shd watch what does scavenging do?

#

And what does it mean skill repair? Like speed of give health & armor?

jaunty dust
#

man.. i forgot that railsplitter is also 900rpm, and laser from 1st shot

#

also range 35, not famas crap range

narrow kraken
mystic forge
#

are shields bad now in dz pvp?

jaunty dust
#

still good

#

just not as reliable

#

movement, positioning and accuracy still key, putting out shield only help you against people who doesnt shoot heads

mystic forge
#

so what's the meta now

jaunty dust
#

anti-pulse builds, hazpro is also coming into PvP because it does add anti-pulse

mystic forge
#

I'm new to pvp and mostly just want to protect myself while doing landmarks, do you have any recommendations?

jaunty dust
#

just carry a shield with scorpio, if you see any potential manhunts just change map

#

there is a minimum number of players and skill level to start PKing consistently

mystic forge
#

cool, thanks

calm venture
#

How to get always exotic and named weapon?

jaunty dust
#

named weapons guaranteed (or almost guaranteed) to be dropped by hunters in countdown/summit floor100

calm venture
#

I new and i trapped in warlord dlc

jaunty dust
#

named weapons guaranteed if you win the final boss in invasions, once per week

#

just finish the warlord dlc campaign

calm venture
#

These rogues band are delusion

#

What that? Countdown ,summit, invasion?

jaunty dust
#

just finish your campaign, first

calm venture
#

Btw i jumped to lv30 so i only missed side quest?

true siren
#

you missed the entire main story

jaunty dust
#

lol

#

if it is your first playthru, do not boost/skip

calm venture
#

Bruh i click warlord dlc and it straight up teleport me there without single warning

jaunty dust
#

interesting...

true siren
#

it gave you a warning

#

go make a new character, dont click warlords.

#

play through the game normally and learn how stuff works

calm venture
#

But i just took down parnell and machete guy

true siren
#

you can keep your old character

#

go back, make a new character

#

play the base story, learn how stuff works better

calm venture
#

Ok i need finish dlc first i know story td1 aaron keener

true siren
#

alright, ignore my advice, its fine

calm venture
#

Dlc then new character

ripe arrow
#

hello i have a question im a tank main when i run missions or anything with my buddies i cant take aggro that much,all of a sudden enemies start running toward my friends and killing them wat can i do to draw their fire to me?

inner tendon
#

Unfortunately, "aggro" isn't overly a thing in div2.
It's why tank builds are usually suggested only for activities where you're a lot closer to enemies than they are. And even then it can be a bit rough.

And also why "tank" builds are usually modified to be "tank/dps hybrid" builds.

ripe arrow
#

so wat do u suggest for hybrid build? foundry bulwark and which sets?

inner tendon
#

I mean, you could go FB, but a much simpler setup (with a lot easier to get into playstyle) is something like Hunters Fury (HF) or Heartbreaker (HB).
there are full builds for all 3 options over in #td2-build-advice > 📌 pinned-message > spreadsheet > builds.
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask in the channel I mentioned, people are happy to help with full details.

ripe arrow
#

got it thanks alot

frail salmon
#

What's the fastest way to max out all of the specializations?

inner tendon
#

SHD Lvl farming, and doing the daily Bounties that give bonus points.
remember: the Spec Tree needs to be active to earn points in it.

frail salmon
#

The daily bounties being the ones in the project's tab?

inner tendon
#

If you open your map and tab over to "Bounties", there's a bunch of icons that show up.
The ones that show you earning points for whatever Spec Tree you've got active are what you're looking for.

frail salmon
#

Ahhh nice thank you

calm venture
#

Does exotic cache worth to buy?

jaunty dust
#

if you are new to the game, yes it is worth to buy

#

using what currency?

dusk vortex
#

depends on where you are in the game, leveling stage just skip it

valid bronze
#

What gives you titanium when you deconstruct it

dusk vortex
#

Outcasts, rikers, cleaners, and black tusk bodies by chance. Gearsets 100% of time

valid bronze
#

Nice targeted loot for gearsets then

fallow inlet
#

Hey Aspect,Rendy0

opaque wind
#

How often can i do raids with keys spawned ?

valid bronze
#

Once a week

inner tendon
#

Keys spawn in the boxes once a week, but you can "farm" the final boss for a Key as many times as you like.

clever shell
#

what does skill haste do?

inner tendon
#

Skill Haste reduces the cooldown of skills after they're destroyed/removed.

clever shell
#

thanks!

modern sparrow
#

I dont know what to farm can you give me any recommendation?

#

I just reached lv 40

#

Trying to complete projects

#

And getting other signature weapons

azure barn
#

my friend i am playing with has 127.7% crit hit damage but should have 83.1%????? how is this possible

calm venture
#

Lvoa and acr suppose be assault rifle

#

What happen

inner tendon
#

LVOA-c was changed in div2 to be a Rifle instead, I guess we already had enough ARs.

azure barn
#

my friend i am playing with has 127.7% crit hit damage but should have 83.1%????? how is this possible

tropic axle
#

"should have"... what do you mean?

azure barn
#

i counted all of his crit hit damage including from his watch and it adds up to 83.1%

inner tendon
#

Plus the base CHD that every one has, are you counting any CHD on their gun too? Depending on the weapon, it can be an innate Attribute.

azure barn
#

i counted the guns aswell

#

it doesnt make sense

latent plinth
#

what should i focus my materials on more, optimization or expertise, and how do i get materials? i seem to always be out nowadays

royal warren
#

So I know in order to get the Nemesis you need to get the four parts and the blue print. My question is, if I only have two pieces atm, can I still get the blueprint from puck?

tropic axle
#

No, you'll only get the blueprint once you have all pieces

#

I've went through all this and it takes a few weeks if you're lucky, months if you're unlucky and the mission you need next isn't on the invasion rotation for a while

royal warren
#

Thanks!

Another question. Does the talent on your secondary weapon effect anything on your main weapon if you're using your main weapon? Not talking about swapping, but just sitting.

tropic axle
#

Depends on the talent. Some talents require you to swap to a weapon, so their passive is realising that you are not using it at the moment

#

But generally talents only affect your currently held weapon as long as it's not Gear Talents on the chest or backpack

royal warren
#

How about breadbasket?

tropic axle
#

Only affects your currently held gun. aka. the gun with the talent

royal warren
#

Alrighty. Thanks!

tropic axle
#

No worries

latent plinth
#

what should i spend my blue resources (carbon fiber etc) on? i always seem to have tons more of those than the greens

tropic axle
#

Depends on what you wish to build and what you have built up until now

latent plinth
#

like loadout builds or crafting individual armor?

narrow kraken
#

can also craft optimization mats

latent plinth
#

yeah but shd seems fairly quick to farm with countdown and all the others need green mats

#

which i have very few of

opaque wind
tulip fiber
opaque wind
true siren
#

its not based on when you pick up the keys

opaque wind
#

And is it tuesday every time ?

true siren
#

its based on tuesday

#

you can pick up keys on monday, go to sleep, and wake up the next day to grab the keys again on tuesday. Then you'd have to wait until next tuesday for more keys

tulip fiber
#

^

opaque wind
#

And aspect

last thorn
opaque wind
#

Is the EB drop rate 10 % from crate and 2% from a boss ?

true siren
#

i dont see why you are asking me

opaque wind
#

I mean many people say its 10 % and other people say its in 0.

true siren
#

we dont know the exact drop rates, but its been theorized to be close to 10% from the final crate and 2% from any boss in the raid. AFAIK this goes for Ravenous and Eagle Bearer.

opaque wind
#

Alright, thanks for the answers appreciate it.

inner tendon
nimble spruce
dapper zephyr
#

whats your favourite gun ? why?

tropic axle
tribal moat
#

never changed, you can get it with 2 parts(minimum requirements)

tropic axle
#

Hm. Guess I was unlucky or misremembered then.

tribal moat
#

yeah its not a 100% drop, thats the issue, so you might need to rerun 1st boss several times for the bp

nimble spruce
#

either way, it's worth a try as it doesn't take long

inner tendon
#

Wait wait wait, it's not a 100% drop?

tribal moat
#

similair way that manning zoo invaded can drop any of the missing parts (except bp)

tropic axle
inner tendon
#

This is the first time I'm hearing that it's not a 100% drop (that couldn't be explained by a bug) since it came out in 2019.

tribal moat
#

i had it drop some days ago but by then i had all parts

#

but it was on 1st run, i was always under the impression it wasnt 100% from reading reddit etc, but might be the guys that tried join others in the pre level 30 runs and think its that way

last thorn
#

The blueprint from GWH wasn't 100% before.
They have now changed it to be 100% just as long as you started the "secret project" by breaking the Adrestia.

inner tendon
#

The BP only drops after you've obtained 2 parts, that much I'm certain on.

#

aka: Adrestia junk +1.

tropic axle
#

I know for certain the last thing I required was the BP back then. And that never dropped before I had all 4 parts. Though I can't say for sure GWH was available during getting the 2nd to 4th part

tribal moat
#

on one of my chars i got it before getting all 4 parts

#

but that was back then when level 30 was cap

inner tendon
#

I'm lucky enough to have obtained it the first rotation it was available, but I would be very interested to know if it's RNG and just a very high chance.

tropic axle
#

As in the levelcap

last thorn
#

I remember them saying it in patch notes or SOTG. I think it was explained in a SOTG.

tribal moat
#

and i do remember resetting puck a few times for it on atleast 1 character

azure turtle
#

does difficulty change the amount of recon data from CPs?

glacial vector
#

Hmmm ranger or steady handed for a semi auto rifle?

Are you lvl 30 yet

Actually scratch that, steady handed aint great

glacial vector
#

Lvl 30 high end ACR

fair bone
#

Are the icons in the inventory explained anywhere ?

#

For example, each weapon has a bullet icon based on the weapon type (marksman rifle have one large bullet, ARs have three bullets,etc).

#

Sometimes the bullets are white but other times they're orange, what's that mean ?

oak talon
#

if i remember right, its just ARs that are orange, to differentiate them from smgs that have a similar icon

fair bone
#

Ooooooh okay @oak talon

What would be the best talent on an assault rifle?

I'm using a weapon with 900 rpm so I'm thinking of masured or overflowing

supple swift

stray hollow
supple swift
#

just farm via target loot, summit on heroic, countdown, missions with ARs as targeted loot.
crafting is costly and the rolls are trash mostly

stray hollow
#

That's true, I'll just farm heroic after I finish the black tusk missions and I get wl5

#

Btw is the gun savage wolverine good cause I don't have access to it yet?

patent vigil
#

put Countdown on AR as loot favored and farm that.

supple swift
#

never tried it.
people mostly just use famas, police m4, carbine 7 off of the recommendations from people on here.
they're good ARs mind you.
i know what the talent is for Savage Wolverine though but i dont like it coz its not an always on talent. needs a kill before it can be useful. i'd prefer always on or a quick ramp up

stray hollow
patent vigil
#

got ya

#

enjoy WoNY. its a good dlc.

supple swift
#

ahhh then keep the current AR you have. none of those will matter when you get wony and reach lvl 40

stray hollow
stray hollow
patent vigil
#

you should have the m4 plan on your crafting table you get at like lvl 6. that plan scales up in level.

#

make one every 4-5 levels and put dttoc on it. easy weapon in a pinch.

#

if you get no drops anyway.

stray hollow
#

I wanna ask does the limits on the attributes and core attributes grow when you go to the WoN or it stays the same (to know what I do with some of my equipment that has some max attributes)

stray hollow

#

yes

#

Ok

narrow kraken
#

They should probably make DTOOC additive petter

jaunty dust
#

DTOOC give more consistent damage, probably great if your CHC sucks also.

#

In general it is BiS aside that it uses the specific brand which is not optimal for certain builds

Is there a reason for people jumping in and out of countdown constantly?

Regulus is still only obtained from IH projects right? It doesn't drop from anywhere

Is the damage reduction on signature weapons when facing against named enemies so much that swapping to your normal weapons is a better option?

Due to that and the lack of ammo, Signature weapons are rarely the best choice to fight anyone, outside of certain circumstances.
So to answer your question; yes.

Personally, especially for the sniper, I find myself conserving too hard most of the time. Don't put a bullet in a red, but veterans and Elites can be a legitimate target

Without HH it's like sub 10m

Not even that close tbh

At most 2 mil on perfect condittions

tropic axle

wow, that's improvable

nimble spruce
#

Average is difficult to say: I generally range from 7 million (no hh stacks, enemy not agroed on me) to about 20 million at full stacks

tropic axle
#

Hm, okay

#

Which weapon?

nimble spruce
#

That's headshots though, mantis

tropic axle
#

Oof

nimble spruce
#

It would be less on the drone of course

tropic axle
#

Okay, that's interesting. With my build the average is 12 Million without HH and 55 with HH

#

On the Nemesis

#

On the White Death it's 8 mil and 22-24 mil

#

You're using the Chainkiller I assume?

nimble spruce
#

Yeah I don't like nemesis much, especially solo: and the damage I do with mantis is perfectly sufficient for most purposes

tropic axle
#

that's what I use the White Death for

#

I run two sniper rifles, lol

  1. Primary WD, 2nd Primary Nemesis
nimble spruce

I like my decoys and quick reloads and having an AR for backup

tropic axle

I hate the decoy

dusk vortex
#

Unscoped white death with lucky shot and either nemesis or mantis

tropic axle
#

I use 1 healing item or the reviver depending on situation and the Recon Drone permanently

#

I use the White death with the Crit damage red dot and Preservation talent

#

Because getting 20% armour back on consecutive headshots is honestly pretty dope for a build that's generally squishy

dusk vortex
#

This does not strike joy

#

DTA would feed the headhunter better

tropic axle
#

not sure what you're referring to with DTA, not big on the Community shorthand yet, lol

dusk vortex
#

Damage to Armor

tropic axle
#

Ah, why would you need that to feed the headhunter?

#

Everything is a one shot, once the chain is going, it's going

#

The only thing the WD can't one shot is bosses, and for that all i need to do is whip out the nemesis

dusk vortex
#

Probably since I am also using optimist than lucky shot more often

#

But I can hit up to 27m iirc

nimble spruce
# tropic axle I hate the decoy

Decoy is amazing once you get the habit of it (always place behind low cover so they can't shoot the base, and throw it out before you start shooting so they target it first)

jaunty dust
#

nowadays decoy doesn't aggro anymore... at least for me

tropic axle
#

I'm too used to the Recon/ heal or reviver combo

#

Whenever I equip the Decoy I just feel like I'm abandoning something of my utility I'm comfortable with

nimble spruce
#

As long as the decoy is out, enemies will almost always ignore you (assuming you one-shot them) and will often stand exposed and stationary to fire on it, making them easy targets

jaunty dust
#

maybe i made too much impact

#

and i dun one shot stuff, poor aim me have

dusk vortex
#

Need to deploy the decoy away and prependicular to where you are

nimble spruce
tropic axle
#

Maybe this is gonna sound idiotic but the absence of danger is boring to me

#

I play on Heroic with at least 4 directives (the fifth is usally one I hate, so I leave it out, otherwise I'd probably put all in, lol)

#

I'm the type of guy who starts Nier automata on the highest difficulty only to realise you get one shot by everything

#

I need a challenge to tickle my brain, I want to have that "you need to take cover, you need to be aware of where everything is, otherwise you die"

nimble spruce
#

Well, there's always the fun of mobs spawning behind you, they'll tend to ignore the decoy as you are visible and closer to them

tropic axle
#

that does tend to happen in the open world, but is not an issue for me much anymore

#

Thanks to the recon drone, since it's instantly showing you that there's somebody behind you

nimble spruce

To me the main challenge is 'how quickly can I pick them all off?'

loud saddle

#

I already have a HC character

#

Sadly the entire "reset" thing is what blocks me here. Not that I lose things when I die, but having to do all the small fry shit before I can be at the same level I am on with my main

#

It's hard for me to muster up the motivation for a second character

loud saddle
#

I feel ya

tropic axle
#

because it's the constant reminder of.. "You've done all this... You are done.. You have all the attachements already"

#

Replaying the missions is fine honestly, it's more the SHD tech caches in the open world and all that jazz

those can be annoying

i have reached lvl 40 b4 finishing the story, will the SHD levels be on hold or wasted?

tropic axle
#

You won't get any SHD level as long as you don't have the watch

#

So you'll only get the Equipment Caches for level ups

#

Essentially, you will technically be "wasting" levelups as they don't go into the SHD levels, but it's not a setback that matters, really

spare mortar
tropic axle
#

Yep :)

#

Just get to Liberty Island and get it done

#

As soon as you have the new watch you'll immediately start leveling it

#

So all you really "lose" is levelups between now and when you have the watch, which shouldn't be more than 5 levels, really

#

And that's even still accounting you don't go to Liberty Island right away

The EMP Jammers have two circles. A red one you only see shortly before they fire, that's their area of effect, in which you can get damaged. Then there's a second one, the white one.

Does donating all junk to the expertise table thing donate to all infilled slots or it fills up one slot ?

Also is it fast to level up the weapon or actually using it levels it up faster?

nimble spruce
#

donating junk is the same as donating those items manually - each different item type will only upgrade it's own category, and you can't donate junk items that you're already proficient in

#

in my experience, donating weapons is faster than using them, but using brands/gearsets is faster than donating them

#

farming countdown for a weapon type (eg smgs) and donating them all seems to be a particularly efficient way of gaining expertise levels

# spare mortar what is the fastest way to farm exotics?

for specific exotics, if they drop from targeted, it is to set targeted to that weapon type or item slot. if you are after exo components, then its to make an alt, get to where you can boost to from 1 to 30, and then do the lvl 30 shd weekly project that gives you an exo cache

oak talon

theres also another tab for weapons there, and its under sources

oak talon
# silk scroll any tips on rushing lvl 30-40? planning to create a 2nd char for raid loot purpo...

just going fast trough it will get you there in 3-ish hours easily,
one tip is to have a lvl 40 in the group to increase the xp rewards, if you solo it you will end up at 38-ish once you have done all the required parts, with group augmentation you will hit 40 while you still have to do 1 or 2 required parts,
you can also get that from calling for backup and running with a shepard trough it, just be sure to endorse them for their help

#

also once 40 you can just put on lvl 40 gear, so once there just put on a real build to go faster aswell

#

and also, dont go wony start for the new char, but go normal start, get to the whitehouse, and boost there, that way you can both buy the shared blueprints and recourses, and get the lvl 30 shd exotic project (its a different one at 40, so you get an extra exo comp out of it)

The Raids that you can "queue" for ingame are for a special, easier mode called "Discovery".

@uneven wren If you've reported a player to Ubisoft Support already, then that's the extent of what you're able to do.

and there's a whole Line-of-Sight thing for the Hunters, but I'm sure that's glitchy, as well as disrupt resist factoring in.
It's much easier to just follow the base rules of "nothing that has to be deployed"

#

Play the hardest difficulty that you can manage while maintaining speed, and increase it as your skill with div2 increases.

#

we all started out as newbies.

nimble spruce
#

running around the open world doing all the random activities is a pretty good way of levelling - not the fastest, but varied and you'll learn better gameplay skills and have more fun than doing something like a floor 10 farm

hollow spoke
#

I’d like to run around in the dark zone just because I’ve been everywhere but I can’t level up der

#

Can I try a raid?

nimble spruce
#

running landmarks in a group in the dz actually isn't a terrible way of levelling

#

raids tend to ask you have a decent red dps build (general suggested numbers are all red cores with at least 50% chc and 150% chd) with a bit of practice playing that build (knowing how to best use cover, etc)

#

you can't matchmake for them though (only for Discovery mode, which doesn't let you get any of the good loot) so you'll need to find a way of getting in a proper raid group

#

(not sure what most xboxers use other than clan raids - not many post in #lfg-raid-console )

hollow spoke
#

I’d rather not go thru the trouble

#

Jus wish I could do dark zone shit at level 18 like I did in division one not just get spawn camped or one shot

#

Just roam and explore

nimble spruce
#

if there are spawn campers, just fast travel to a checkpoint on the opposite side of the map and use that

#

spawn campers are much easier to ignore than rogues that actually move around in the area

hollow spoke
#

Know but then you extract then have 20 guys come down and screw with you

nimble spruce
#

well yeah, that's what the DZ is all about! (And why I hardly ever go there)

hollow spoke
#

Need to add the division 1 dark zone with the New York stuff

nimble spruce
#

there are various things you can do to mitigate the issues, but it takes a bit of time: grouping up is one of the easier ways, playing at odd times when there are fewer players around is another. For extracting you can run around several extraction points firing off flares to hopefully decoy the rogues a bit, and also avoid attaching until the time limit's almost up

#

keep an eye on the message feed and map when you're in a dz (or in a checkpoint) and see how much rogue activity there is, and whether they're moving around or staying in one place

#

or just give it up as a bad job and enjoy the rest of the pve map, which is far bigger and more varied than the DZs anyway

hollow spoke
#

Yeah I think it’s just I need to find a way to do things where it’s fun and I level up

nimble spruce
#

focus on the 'fun' first, and the levelling will happen as you go

hollow spoke
#

Well I’m level 56 Im sort of at the end game

nimble spruce
#

gameplay skills make far more difference ingame than shd levels anyway - since the huge growth in popularity of floor 10 farming I've noticed a growth in the number of high shd players who still really struggle in heroic groups because they lack the game knowledge

nimble spruce
hollow spoke
#

Indeed

#

I already have a build going just don’t know where to farm or should I get a group

nimble spruce
#

try both, see what you enjoy more

#

I tend to farm open world solo and missions in groups

#

run the daily & weekly projects, try the league challenges, etc

#

start building a few different builds too - it's useful to have a pure red dps, a turret/drone skill build, and a few others just for dealing with different situations

keen canopy

is there a loot run for WONY for farming materials like there is in Washington?

Yeah I’m trying to do this skill build but I just have to farm for better gear and attachments and it’s boring even with music and friends

if you don't find the basic gameplay and environments interesting enough to keep your attention, this might not be the game for you - it's all the same from here on, just with gradually bigger numbers and more careful tactics

you'll likely just learn a harsh lesson in why matchmaking is disabled for 'Normal' difficulty raids

#

More importantly: the Raids on Discovery don't grant you the Exotics or BP's, and are "easier", so less xp from enemies too.

nimble spruce
# hollow spoke Can you not calibrate exotics?

nope, you can only optimise or reconfigure them (reconfigure from the crafting table, requires an exotic component and rerolls all the stats - so they might get better or worse. Safest to do if you have 2 copies of the exotic so you can just reconfigure whichever has lower rolls).

hollow spoke
#

Ah damn

nimble spruce
#

status effects helps burn,bleed,blind,ensnare,shock and disrupt

#

increases both duration and (where applicable) damage

hollow spoke

Mhm

I did a match of countdown and it’s really fun get in and get out even know I don’t get any xp still cool

nimble spruce
#

great for loot farming especially

hollow spoke
#

Can finish my library before I have to do levels

nimble spruce

good for levelling expertise too - set the target loot to a weapon type (such as rifles) and donate everything you don't actually want to keep

negotiators? No, that's a strong build, never heard anything said against it

supple swift
#

unless you're using one of those skill damage ND travesties...

nimble spruce
#

haha yeah, never quite got my head around why that's popular (although I have a high-end crit/skill hybrid that works wonders)

supple swift
opal fable
#

Nah, It's just a regular ND with obliterate and a m4 with fast hands.

#

Just on a regular heroic mission was invaded bank mission.

#

I also don't think a ND skill build would work, that sounds terrible.

nimble spruce
#

the stacks are still amplified damage, just now caps at 100% amplified instead of 170% (still stronger than meta red build at >60 stacks)

fair bone
#

So I'm trying out the eclipse cc build. It's fun but weapon damage is virtually bull without the red cores. The virginian makes 400k damage per headshot, it barely consumes one line of armor in heroic.

supple swift
#

try it as a skill build instead of a gun build

fair bone
#

The only reason to shot is to ignite the fire, beyond that the gun doesn't make any damage

supple swift
fair bone
#

That should make things easier

supple swift
#

double tap iirc

fair bone
#

Does it make any difference if you wait before you ignite the fire? Does the gas spread out or something?

supple swift
#

not really

#

Ok thx

#

Also, does the fire from the fire starter damage friends too?

no. only yourself

#

in SHD watch, there are 4 subnodes in 4 nodes. which subnode should i prioritize first for in those 4 nodes?

true siren
#

the defence and whatever the green once is with ammo capacity and such is your choice, but offense should be critical hit chance

#

and then skill haste in yellow

valid bronze
#

Skill haste, chc, I did hazard for blue, and ammo capacity if you have good aim, if not go for stability

inner tendon
#

You'll have them all by SHD 999 anyway, so don't overly worry about it.

fair bone
#

So yellow bar = health, white solid line = armor. What's the dashed line named enemies have ?

inner tendon
#

The red/yellow is Health, the white line (solid or broken up) is Armour.
you can see an example of that if you look at your own HP.

fair bone
#

Is solid and dashed white the same ? Or is dashed better than solid?

#

My char has a dashed white armor, some enemies have solid and other dashed white

#

I have like 300. Hours in-game and I haven't figured this out 😅

cyan gyro
nimble spruce
#

I don't recall seeing a solid white bar, they're always dashed

#

except maybe on skill proxies, I guess (in which case, they count as health, not armor)

#

the other obvious indicator of armor is that it is always immediately above a health bar - if there's only one bar, it must be health rather than armor

spare mortar
#

how to obtain specialization skill points?

tulip fiber
spare mortar
#

I see, thanks

fair bone
#

and I can't find any example right now on youtube, so maybe I'm just misremembering

tribal moat
#

some put boxes down that overheals them in the green circle, others have that aura that gives people near them that overhealth while the npc is alive/spawned in range

#

also when a medic resses someone

fair bone
#

ohh, is it also when they're raged?

tribal moat
#

Killing an enemy fills the Rage Meter of nearby hostiles. A full Rage Meter makes an enemy “enraged” (which grants overheal).

#

that too yes

fair bone
#

ahh gotcha, so that's where I saw the solid white bar... cause I always have the rage directive on

#

another question, does a headshot always crit?

carmine flicker
#

Nope, the normal chc applies to headshots

fair bone
#

so if I do base damage 100, headshot +10% and critical damage +20%... do I hit for 110 or 130 if I hit the head?

#

oh ok, for some reason I thought headshots always crit

carmine flicker
#

Chd applies on top of hsd too

fair bone
#

but only if it crits

carmine flicker
#

Yup

fair bone
#

okey thanks @carmine flicker

true siren
#

you'll get target loot drops as masks

#

sometimes (maybe always, i havent been in summit for awhile) floor set clear rewards as masks as well

When capturing CPs, I shoot at friendly markers more often than I'd like to admit

Which attribute do you guys prefer for PVP headahot damage or CR/CD?

analog summit
#

About referral, as Veteran, who should join to the session in order to trigger the mission properly?

#

I need response asap

analog summit
#

I did, but I get confused

loud shell
#

About what, exactly?

analog summit
#

Who should join the session or will be session owner

loud shell
#

It doesn't specify that, so I would hazard a guess that it doesn't matter. All that matters if that you play together, in the same session (you join them, or they join you) and complete 3 missions (main missions or strongholds).

#

You and the one you recruited that is.

analog summit
#

Alright thank you

loud shell
#

Enjoy 🙂

analog summit
#

For some reason, we did a single main mission, while the Invitee is the Session owner. the Mission progress didn't finish. I suppose to have the Outfit now

#

seems the Veteran should be the owner of the session, but I cannot invite the Invitee to my session earlier as it said they hasn't complete the expansion pack

#

So, the invitee suppose not to boost up their character and play the expansion before the referral? are they also suppose to play the DC missions in the game as well?

nimble spruce
#

Given the time limit on how many hours they can play before you start helping them, it's unlikely they'd be able to get through the dlc in time

analog summit
#

they just started

nimble spruce
#

Maybe join the new players game then get them to give you the group lead? Not sure if that would count

analog summit
#

I am not sure as well

#

plus their game time is around 1 hour, including our first mission

nimble spruce
#

Or it bugged out for some other reason: it does seem illogical that the new player should join the veterans game rather than vice versa

analog summit
#

maybe they shouldn't chose the Character Boost as well?

nimble spruce
#

I don't know enough, it's not something that a lot of people have done or ask/talk about

#

Maybe try googling in the forums or Reddit

analog summit
#

I wish I can ask some experts with this. I just don't know which one specifically

nimble spruce
#

I'd suggest opening a support ticket, but I suspect the support people are very much not experts either

analog summit
#

how can I do that? it will be good to give a shot

nimble spruce
analog summit
#

seems their progress on their mission went 1/3, yet mine is 0/3. this is quite troublesome to figure out

final star

when re-rolling an exotic is there a chance to change the attribute to something different or are you just rolling to try to max out stats

#

Is it the named mask punch drunk

modern sparrow

#

Its because it is a named mask, since masks dont have takents it gets a perfect stat instead, which in this case is +15% headshot damage, compared to the normal +10%

Can you shoot the mauraders on Roosevelt legendary from that wooden platform before you jump over?

nimble spruce
#

no, they don't spawn until after you jump over (used to, but people cheesed it so it was changed)

you can clear a number of adds though, so it's still a common tactic

#

if the team's strong then it's definitely faster to just pile over, but if not then staying is the safe way - and if you go over, it forces everyone else to follow

#

had a pug run a few months ago when one idiot kept going over although the rest of us weren't strong enough to hold the area, and after a few wipes most of them left - I ended up 2-manning the area with a clanmate (can't even matchmake as it's a boss area)

nimble spruce

there are daily bounties and (if you're in a clan) weekly clan bounties, the rest you get from completing projects, finding the snitch, and as rewards from hostage rescues & public executions

those seem to time out eventually, but it takes a while (maybe a couple of weeks or more)
