I mean yeah it's pretty ominous but after a hundred or so missiles launched by every single conceivable villian it gets kind of old. Sort how downtown Manhattan has been destroyed in a million superhero movies. Sure there's hundreds of deaths but god, just do something different for once

low mural
#

Right so let’s launch 2 missiles instead

#

thats kinda why im hoping eclipse ends up being something

a virus that can kill in seconds has potential

#

got the mask from foundry bulwark gear set / Aaron Keener Endgame on the Ferry where the Rogue Agents are.

fast steppe
#

You're not ment to be able to get foundry bulwarl yet, it's raid exclusive

flat cairn
#

I think some items are not raid exclusive ?

#

BTW to double confirm that FB/FI is intended to drop outside of raid.
Just to clarify: pieces of the Foundry Bulwark/Future Initiative sets dropping outside of the Raid is intended.
Only the Backpack and Chest pieces (those with Talents) are exclusive drops from Operation Iron Horse.

Foundry Bulwark (Operation Iron Horse)
That's it's description in the patch notes

#

whats with the eclipse virus/ outcast dialogue between Keener and Hornet

fast steppe
#

A new virus they're making I think

#

@flat cairn yeh your right sorry, just saw it was recently posted on the forums

glad wren
#

Keener already developed the virus and tried to launch a missile that contained it (see Liberty Island mission)

flat cairn
#

@fast steppe no Problem wondering where the other pieces without Raid whould drop

low mural
#

@cold bramble only the set items except backpack and Chest I think

#

Bp and chest is raid exclusive I think

spiral turtle
#

Those voice lines between Keener and Hornet are interesting

glad spruce
#

Where did you guys find those voice lines?

fallen elk
#

They are random. I was standing in the haven in NY and got "incoming transmission" or something, and there were a dialogue between Keener and hornet.@glad spruce

How you get the Mantis?

@somber isle target loot farming

#

Go do MMRs

#

It will also be in seasons once it unlocks

lone salmon
#

The fact that True Sons accumulated enough resources to make themselves an armored train is nuts

#

Guess they got an endless supply of steel

#

We keep grabbing it from 'em but seems like it's not enough lol

tough sentinel
#

Ummm... did they mean to put the Foundry Bulwark in game yet? Just picked up gloves and mask.

#

@tough sentinel chest and backpack are raid exclusive

Ah gotcha

Is it confirmed that Mantis and Vile are actually dropping from target loot missions ?

@sinful wharf yea

#

@low mural proof?

low mural
#

@trail tartan I didn’t personally get it myself, but other ppl here claim they’ve Ben getting them, ask them for proof

halcyon iron
#

its related to how people got all the season 2 rewards immediately after buying the season 2 pass

#

the SoTG talks about it a bit

#

because the game thinks you are already season 2 level 100, and the exotic only drops in the world after you reach the level where the exotic drops in the reward track

round sinew
#

So who's the black guy for Season 2?

#

Oh.

#

||It's Hornet? What a fucking copout. Fuck that guy and everything about him. They had so many better options than bringing some asshole back from the dead.||

static bay
#

Time to make him dead once more in that case. It's nice to have an unlikeable villian for once.

lone salmon
#

We have a hornet's nest to stamp out

#

Haven't played div 1 so dunno what the guy did

wise radish
#

He was pretty much Keener right hand man

cold bramble
#

So we gonna have to find and rescue tchernenko again? And during the hornet fight will we be set up against first wave agents and whatever happened in police academy in div1?

lone salmon
#

Welp, Parnell's dead

#

You guys are right, kid didn't have to die

#

Fun fight tho

static bay
#

Yeah he had a point, what a waste

#

As Agent Kelso once said, " What a fucking waste"

glad spruce
#

@cold bramble No, we rescued Tchernenko in Coney Island. He's nice and cozy in D.C

cold bramble
#

we dont know yet what the phoenix down stuff looks like right?

spiral turtle
#

based on the way division gameplay works, hornet still being alive is actually fine

#

because keener apparently came all the way back to revive him

#

and in this game you can dump 6 mags into someone and all it takes is a little shock to bring them back

cold bramble
#

ppl are just zombies and dont now it yet lmao

cold bramble
#

in the world of division you can just get a health boost by someone shouting at you

#

more specifically rikers

#

i just hate the fact that the medic can give a green health boost when reviving them

low mural
#

@cold bramble riker lieutenants give health boost just by existing

static bay
#

^I actually cannot tell if that is a joke

low mural
#

Heh @static bay it ain’t bro that’s why they are so annoying, I always focus on them first

static bay
#

Wellllllll that explains why I never see them giving the overheal, FFS

spiral turtle
#

Just thought if something interesting off the top of my head. A bit of a theory/personal thoughts.

#

If you lived in the world of the Division 2, but you were not recruited/have any knowledge of the division or their goals, what current enemy faction’s ideals do you agree with most and would join and why?

#

For me it would be True Sons because they seem to have somewhat of a good mission for what they wanted to do. They are very well put together (for the most part). I feel like they are the almost “wannabe good guys”.

#

I guess my second would be Black Tusk but that’s another story

round sinew
#

Probably LMB.

#

Unless some outside factor circumstantially forced me into another militia.

spiral turtle
#

I’m leaning more into the world of division 2 @round sinew

#

Didn’t clarify that

round sinew
#

Ah. Then probably none of them. Again, barring some exessive circumstances like being part of the big quarantine, or having a gun put against my head. They're all kinda fucked.

#

Cleaners Tbh have become more moderate, but are still fanatical.

Outcasts are what Cleaners used to be like in the fanatic department, just on the opposite end of the spectrum.

True Sons massacre and torture unarmed civilians.

Hyenas are just a gang, but ironically enough, they have a solid governing structure in that, before SHD wipes them out, they have a democratic governing council.

spiral turtle
#

I almost feel bad for the True Sons though

round sinew
#

If I have to choose, then I'll pick the organized crime family over American Nazis and American Al-Qaeda.

spiral turtle
#

Because a lot of what they are doing came from Ridgeway going bad and wanting revenge

round sinew
#

Yeah, well. They actively choose to serve Ridgeway.

spiral turtle
#

True

#

But then again, if they don’t serve him they are fucked

round sinew
#

They went so far as to rebel and break him out of prison and kill their own because they got in the way.

spiral turtle
#

So it’s kinda a lose lose for them

round sinew
#

Yeah

#

At least in the Hyenas, you aren't killed for disagreeing.

spiral turtle
#

Because if you remember from air and space museum that sniper that let you in and ran away knew they were fucked up

round sinew
#

You're only killed if you break their laws. Like any gang.

spiral turtle
#

And needed to get out while she could

round sinew
#

Right. In the comics, there's a former :not:True Sons that gets executed by his own people for bailing in Phillie.

#

At least in the Hyenas, I can speak my mind and have some freedom. A lot of the Hyenas are fucked up people, but they have the capability to not be a bad group.

spiral turtle
#

True

round sinew
#

In the True Sons or Outcasts, breaking ranks is death.

spiral turtle
#

If Black Tusk had a more legitimate mission other than Bardon and his higher up (the unknown “Boss”) making them act like warmongering douchebags than I would probably choose them

round sinew
#

The hyenas can simply vote and not be evil anymore by enacting new rules

#

Black Tusk's mission is just True Sons or LMB but on a larger scale

spiral turtle
#

And a fuckton more organized

lone salmon
#

Sometimes you gotta take a step back and just kinda examine the world of Division as a whole

#

This channel is honestly great for that

#

Bit of a haven for those remotely interested in the story

#

As time goes on, you really do feel like a bit of a headless chicken

#

Just almost blindly following orders without fail

#

Parnell is the first one to truly question that

round sinew
#

I can't wait to see Hornet's angle

#

I can only assume he got even more loyal to Keener after SHD fucked him up at the consulate.

glad spruce
#

So, it looks like TU10 does bring up the remaining audio logs for Keener/Dragov/Conley. The ones involving Keener are the mosti nteresting

spiral turtle
#

Where do you find them

#

Cause I’ve only heard the 3 from keener/hornet

craggy pike
#

as i completed the invaded missions upon the TU10 update comms about hornet and keener started playing

#

there were only 3 that played

glad spruce
#

You find em on NYC. I guess they got added in TU10, since one of Keener's comms were in the final area of Liberty Island mission

spiral turtle
#

Ah so they come from the replaying each rogue’s mission

#

Got it

#

The keener/hornet ones just come from leveling I believe. Kinda like the intro to the season

#

Since they are not stored anywhere in the collectibles

glad spruce
#

Actually, the last audio logs for Conley and Dragov come from exploring NYC.

Matter of fact, the map website have updated locations for those two: Division2map.com/nyc

#

Meanwhile, Keener's psych eval audio log is in a building between Widow's Web and Pathway Park

violet nimbus
#

i saw one last Echo of Manhatten about Pleased's to Meet you Mr. President, maybe it be season 3 or 4 last echo on Liberty Island

||How Hornet survived being stickied bombed to death is beyond me, Rogues must've had a damn good surgeon and necromancer||

#

No need for spoiler tags here man

#

Also lmao who needs SHD tech when you have BLACK MAGIC

spiral turtle
#

Nah it’s just basic game mechanics cause it’s said that he was revived by keener

#

So keener just fun thing like the typical medics in the game now

Hornet better not open the floodgates of enemies we've killed that come back to life.

I you're killed by a Hunter how long do you have to what to try again? An ingame day cycle or a real life 24hr period... ?

#

*wait

wise radish
#

Well wrong channel but you do the hunter steps again. @wide blaze

static bay
#

I you're killed by a Hunter how long do you have to what to try again? An ingame day cycle or a real life 24hr period... ?
@wide blaze depends on Hunter, some can be respawned instantly

wide blaze
#

Thanks.

wise radish
#

I don't need the guide for hunter i was answering a question @static bay

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

static bay
#

OLOL

#

I read it as "how do you do the hunter steps"

wise radish
#

No worries

cold bramble
#

@wide blaze depends if the hunter has locked spawn atributes, example some only spawn at night and after you shoot something, if you cant shoot tht again he dont respawn

wide blaze
#

It's Neurotic. I got him to spawn again after repeating the entire process. Just takes a good while waiting on the day/night cycle.

cold bramble
#

or you can quit session and restart maybe you get diferent time and resetd map xd

Ingame time is locked to the server.

Hey hate to be that guy but you can't plug your content here. You might wanna ask if anyone wants to see it and DM them instead

#

Just don't want the mods to give you a warning is all, sorry man

#

and yeah I can confirm that the CP makes a great loot cave. Super easy and cramped spawns, I once spent a whole night farming it

round sinew
#

Season 2 out yet, or is that tomorrow?

low mural
#

@round sinew tomorrow

round sinew
#

Ugh. I don't even really care about Iron Horse, I just wanna hunt rogues.

low mural
#

That’s what the dzs for lol

round sinew
#

I mean like the Manhunt, since it's a form of story progression

#

The raids are more for bragging rights and mechanical challenge, but haven't offered any plot progression.

#

The first raid in D1 hinted at stuff to come in D2, but that was it. The other D1 raids were self-contained stories. Same with the Black Tusk raid. And I bet Iron Horse will be the same since you can't really progress the True Sons story, since they're all dead.

round sinew
#

You deserved it?

static bay
#

I just got gangbanged by 5 ROGUES after a control point
@cold bramble holy C R A P

static bay
#

@lone salmon the legendary enemies are White Tusk, the polar opposite of Black Tusk. While the Black Tusk specialise in covert ops, the White Tusk specialise in "overt" ops which involve holding down a high value location

lone salmon
#

@static bay interesting, so are they part of bt or what?

#

RPGs are always fond of unknown threats huh

static bay
#

Yeap. The Black Tusk is an entire organisation. The Black Tusk Special Unit are just part of that larger organisation. God knows what their resources or structure is like.

#

You can be assured they have riches beyond your belief, since they can spare hundreds of warhounds and buy over the President

lone salmon
#

And can bring over a fuckton of forces too

static bay
#

On the other hand, the Black Tusk has shown that their greatest limitation is manpower. In invaded Camp White Oak, the Black Tusk sisters sent to rebuild the unit are decimated by The Division. They're almost useless against the SHD and as that guy (I think it was Schaeffer) put it, "stop sending me clowns to rebuild my unit"

lone salmon
#

I swear we've killed a good chunk of the US population by this point

static bay
#

In Manning National Zoo their desperation shows as they hold a violent initiation event where a bunch of admittedly quite powerful potential recruits fight for a place in the BTSU

#

Yeah same HAHAHAHA

lone salmon
#

And of course we trashed their recruiting efforts

#

White Tusk then. Manpower about the same but with significantly more advanced tech, not to mention not being secretive at all

#

Made up of old LMB

static bay
#

On one hand the recruitment event was a show of desperation where the Black Tusk recruited a whole bunch of their members who were inexperienced and unprofessional and the SHD has no issue wiping them out. Unfortunately this does not translate to gameplay, where Manning has arguably some of the hardest and most dangerous squads in the entire game.

#

Made up of old LMB
@lone salmon Wait for real? I keep hearing that but how do you know?

lone salmon
#

Just read that somewhere

#

BT as a whole seems to be partially old LMB

#

And hey, they did try their best in invaded white oak

#

What with having 2 tanks at once, twice

#

Well we'll kick Schaeffer to the curb soon enough

static bay
#

ahahahahaha that's true

#

Schaeffer may hate the sisters but I will always appreciate their voice line

#

"This is Heads, this is Tails, all targets down"

lone salmon
#

Yep, that line's surpisingly memorable

static bay
#

I love it, it's so adorably psychotic

lone salmon
#

Yep

#

@static bay the entirety of wony puts you into a surprisingly poignant dilemma

#

Like, you can see how the rogues have a point. almost all of them

#

Yet, will you be willing to break the trust of your allies to follow a belief that might end up untrue after all?

static bay
#

Yeah I expected some stupid twist about Theo luring you into some sort of trap, but he really was running scared and there was no twist in the end

lone salmon
#

Rhodes made it very clear how he trusted us by the end of it, and it's pretty much the last ounce of trust he had for any agent.

static bay
#

Kajika was actually completely justified and I'd actually do the same thing as him

#

Dragov, if I'm not wrong, just hates rich people. Same here

#

Conley and Keener are just insane don't mind them

lone salmon
#

Not to mention how Dragov cares a ton for his new family

#

You watched the briefing for season 2 yet?

static bay
#

surprisingly no

lone salmon
#

Yeah, head in the manhunt screen and press V

static bay
#

oh it requires being in game? Can't do that

lone salmon
#

We do get a short cinematic trailer for season 2 not long ago

#

Switching topics a little: Iron Horse.

#

Surprised how they still manage to still be kicking after losing their leadership.

#

I suppose this detacment doesn't really care that much and still just work in the shadows

static bay
#

Yeah I mean vengeance is one thing but organisation? That doesn't come from just being mad

lone salmon
#

And apparently their supply of steel is pretty much endless even when we loot so much of it from them

#

I mean, they have the resource to build an armored train for gods sake

#

And I find the preview picture for the raid interesting too. DMs.

static bay
#

yeah HAHAHAHAH their steel supply is a little bit much

#

it's like they are from a separate timeline where America is obsessed with steel instead of oil

glad spruce
#

I'm sure some of you already know by now, but due to localization problems, the audio for Season 2's Manhunt audio logs are not gonna be available until they fix it

round sinew
#

I don't get it.

#

Jupiter was one of Keener's lieutenants, and built her team essentially to wipe out the Outcasts and stop a resurgence of the Dollar Flu.

#

So why is Hornet's team storing up Eclipse virus to basically do the exact opposite of what Jupiter's team was doing?

#

Did Hornet and Jupiter not communicate? Did Keener keep them in the dark about each other? What the fuck are the long term goals here?

#

Also, Termite seems like an awful human being.

static bay
#

yeah my first reaction to hearing what Kelso said was just "yikes"

drifting lotus
#

Just because there is a rogue network doesn't mean that they are working to each other's bests interests. Just remember the events of liberty island and what Keener actually thought about the agents in his cell.

#

I don't think most of these agents are any different either.

#

in that regard.

static bay
#

ah yes Liberty Island, what a damn mess.

round sinew
#

My take, is that Jupiter and her team, for all intents and purpose, were doing their own thing as damage control. Tbh I now feel bad that they had to be rogue, because their ultimate goal seemed logical and fine.

#

Hornet seems like Kylo Ren to Keener's Darth Vader. Dude's gonna finish what Keener started. Only difference is Keener's team barely trusted him, meanwhile based on the briefing, Hornet's team is fucking crazy.

pseudo cliff
#

ah yes Liberty Island, what a damn mess.
@static bay i loved how the black tusk just got so pissed off at keener that they brought in a razorback

static bay
#

ahahahaahahahahahaha yeah I only wish I could be as intimidating as Keener

round sinew
#

Not just a Razorback, didn't they send one of the mega drones, too?

static bay
#

Yeah the marauder

"Deploy the marauder" "But sir, it's our last one" "Just do it!"

cold bramble
#

||so about hornet boss fight|| read if you must

#

||so since it’ll be on tidal basin how and what way will we approach it? Will it be black tusk with us like the keener fight tryna get too hornet or outcasts? Also will the hovercrafts be there specifically the “stranded one” and will we fight on that again? If it’s outcasts not BT why couldn’t black tusk defend their own stronghold? They that weak THEY LET 1 rogue agent along with a couple hundred guys take over YOUR stronghold that consists of 4-500 elite soldiers?||

#

Eh since it’s a spoiler room ima say it here

#

It’s about tidal basin where the hornet boss fight takes place at

drifting lotus
#

I mean if you're solo, one agent already blows out tidal basin 😛

round sinew
#

Yeah, since it takes place after the stronghold falls, Tidal Basin is technically abandoned.

@static bay what did Kelso say? In the briefing?

You didn't get the briefing?

lone salmon
#

I did watch it

#

But prolly will have to see it again

round sinew
#

Well she didn't mention how Hornet is magically alive.

spiral turtle
#

I’ve heard of 2 theories: 1. Termite or Keener revived him 2. He was supposedly killed when the resurrection global event was active (unknown in TD1) and came back after we left the consulate

#

I thought so

static bay
#

@static bay what did Kelso say? In the briefing?
@lone salmon which briefing?

lone salmon
#

@static bay eh forget it

#

But what did Kelso say tho

static bay
lone salmon
#

@static bay yep that's what I meant by briefing

#

Titan sounds like the most threatening of all if I were to be honest

#

But hey we did see Hornet mowing down agents with a SPAS in the cinematic trailer

static bay
#

Guys in Division it's normal to go around killing hostiles in order to protect innocent civilians

#

What's the name for this kind of morality, which believes that it's okay to kill other people who are killing innocents?

static bay
#

LMAO basically that but the proper name of it

round sinew
#

Vigilantism

#

Except you're a government agent.

#

So, patriotism

#

Btw, just took on Termite. If those eclipse grenades are a thing, that'll get annoying. She's armed with shock traps and decoys, though, so she's not too big of a problem. I don't think she ever landed a shot on me.

low mural
#

“Legal contract killers “

round sinew
#

Not even that. That would assume you're more of a bounty hunter.

#

And if you took a contract to kill a JTF member, you'd be marked Rogue.

static bay
#

Vigilantism
@round sinew YES thank you

round sinew
#

Eh, don't use that. Vigilantism supposes you work outside the law. SHD agents are legally entitled to execute on sight.

static bay
#

Yeah but Vigilantism is the best fit for this sort of morality

round sinew
#

The Tom Clancy universe equivalent is when Sam Fisher gets Fifth Column policy enacted in some missions to just murder anyone or anything that gets in his way with no regard for innocent casualties.

static bay
#

I'm more interested in learning about ways that people justify the killing of people seen as threats, the specifics are not too important

#

I'm not actually trying to worldbuild heh

round sinew
#

Ah.

#

SHD justifies it pretty clearly as "anyone attacking civilians or endangering the stability of the government is a threat to be met with deadly force."

#

It's been shown in canon that abandoning civilians to get killed is a Rogue-able offense, so while SHD gives agents a lot of freedom to do as they see fit, there's very strict and hard rules in place with immediate consequences for breaking those rules.

static bay
#

ohhhhhh so that's the in-universe justification, thank you!

#

But what bothers me here is that in a lot of other games you do a lot of killing in a similar fashion, but without the orders to do so. Which begs the question, what justifies it there?

#

For example in Borderlands, what exactly gives you the right to kill literally everything that so much as pokes you?

round sinew
#

They're poking you?

#

Borderlands is literally on an anarchy planet.

cold bramble
#

so Lori "Termite" Baker...who the fuck is she?

#

why does she fight alongside the outcasts?

#

I get she's a rogue first wave

static bay
#

Borderlands is literally on an anarchy planet.
@round sinew On one hand yes, on the other hand "there's no rules deal with it" just seems too easy.

round sinew
#

@cold bramble So Hornet's team seems intent on spreading the Eclipse Virus that Keener made. Baker herself was a field surgeon who was activated. She went rogue when she decided to kill the Dollar Bug patients in her care.

#

We don't have audio logs yet, but we can assume Keener persuaded her through some reason related to infecting the weak so the strong can live.

cold bramble
#

I was more asking why does she fight with outcasts

round sinew
#

A further assumption that it's for some reason of spreading viruses to kill the weak.

cold bramble
#

Didn’t the outcast hate the idea of spreading the virus?

#

You’ll see I only payed attention to the rogues and hyenas

#

And the cleaners

glad spruce
#

They actually spread the Green Poison. A lot of Outcast rushers are deliberately injected with Green Poison to infect civilians communities

In fact, we went to destroy their work in DCD to stop them from spreading Green Poison any further

cold bramble
#

Huh

#

You’d think shaw would look down upon that

#

Oooooh, that’s why their labelled “bio-terrorists” by the true sons

glad spruce
#

Actually, one of the audio logs for the Outcasts discusses between an Outcast and Shaw discussing about she's asymptomatic carrier of the Green Poison.

And when that Outcast proposed using her blood as a weapon, she approved

round sinew
#

Yeah, Shaw came up with the idea.

#

She's fucking crazy.

And they are all hellbent I’m vengeance All because Emelines daughter died on Roosevelt

True Sons are dicks anyways

round sinew
#

I've started before here that the only redeemable faction in the games or books are the Hyenas. Maybe general rioters as well.

static bay
#

Makes sense considering criminals often change in jail. What's to say something else can't change them?

#

There's an episode of this podcast called PKA where a member talks about his experience in jail

#

He says that a lot of guys who have spent a long time there are looking forward to release because they want to work hard and provide for their families, not go back to crime

static bay
cold bramble
#

I've started before here that the only redeemable faction in the games or books are the Hyenas. Maybe general rioters as well.
@round sinew imo its the cleaners

#

Hyenas are just psychopaths doing it for their own gain

#

Cleaners are emotionally detached cleaners who burn everything in their own way to destroy the virus

Anyone know what happened with the post office base of operations in manhattan and why Paul Rhodes and captain benitez came to the lower parts of manhattan and why Jessica candle didn’t join them?

#

I.. actually don't know. I tried doing a search for what happened to her.. as far as I see it, no information pops up past the fact that she sent the Anti Viral away.

#

Ah... She wasn't in New York when Benitez and Rhodes were forced to relocate.... more digging! (She apparently went to Ann Arbor, Michigan...)

I can't wait for the audio logs to be loaded. Maybe one will be dedicated to Termite reviving and saving Hornet.

#

I just really want to see info on the relationship Termite, Hornet, and Keener have with each other. Did Keener really care for Hornet as a friend, or did Keener view Hornet as a tool and had Termite fix him up out of pragmatism?

#

I'm sure Keener only viewed Termite as a tool, since he seemed to view all his allies as a means to an end and the Rogues that worked for him as equipment, but I wonder if that extended to Hornet as well, or if he actually gave a shit about Hornet as a friend considering he was Keener's lieutenant in this whole Rogue agent fiasco on top of being in the military together.

#

He's already dead, but it would be nice to humanize Keener a little, especially considering they did him so dirty by the point of Warlords of New York.

What’s so bad about saying manifesto?

It should be a manifest, or black box.

Planes don't have manifestos.

the plane itself doesn't have a manifest, but as a military cargo plane, the contents of what it was carrying would have been well documented.

toxic rock
#

Did the plane even have any cargo on it

thin juniper
#

evidently all the crates that can be seen around Roosevelt island and the experimental EMP devices recovered by the rouges and cleaners

spiral turtle
#

Ah that makes sense

valid eagle
#

@spiral turtle Yes, USA. A "manifest" would be a list of cargo being carried by a plane, ship, etc. A "manifesto" in the 10,000-word rambling unpunctuated wall-of-text that a creepy kid leaves in his room before he shoots up a grade school. Both documents, but the similarities end tbere.

#

There is zero overlap. No way at all that "manifesto" fits the context. Unless the airplane carrying the EMPs was also ranting against the reptilian agenda or had a dispute with the Bureau of Land Management over cattle grazing.

#

(I hope that doesn't seem an unfriendly response. Not intended to be.)

Manifesto seem like something that is used if a military needs into another country like if the plane would to have one. It would be to tell what they are doing in that part of world and why they are doing it and all that stuff.

At least thats what it seems like reading it

What if Ellis is an insider and wants to know the plans of BT

novel thicket
#

How’d Ellis contact them to say he wanted to join their plans anyway?

spiral turtle
#

Your so-called “mystery man” is one of the hunters

#

That’s just a brief summary of who they are, however there are plenty of videos that go into deeper speculation on who they are. Although not much is known about them currently, hence why it’s just speculations.

#

I would recommend watching the videos about hunters from NGN gaming on YT

novel thicket
#

So how do I find more?

spiral turtle
#

I don’t want to spoil that part, that is for you to find out for yourself. 🙂

#

That’s what makes them interesting

#

On occasion you will run into the Stalker Hunters as well

#

These ones are not hostile and more just there to instill a fear factor that you are being watched

#

To get the full history on them, watch those videos and look into them from where they start in Division 1 (Survival Expansion)

novel thicket
#

So I need the expansion to find them?

spiral turtle
#

No

#

Well

#

To find more of them yes

#

But not the Year 1 set

#

Just be forewarned that some of the videos may have actual spoilers, but I believe NGN puts a warning at the start of the videos if necessary

novel thicket
#

Yeah I know

#

I watched a couple of the hunter videos, wasn’t too interested since I didn’t know where to find them

spiral turtle
#

@cold bramble it’s very clear that Ellis is not an insider and is working alongside BT. It’s made especially clear through comms and black tusk ECHOs

#

@novel thicket see but that’s the thing, knowing the story will give you more insight on them and may help you find them

#

They are found in certain spots around the map with “puzzles” that once completed will spawn them

novel thicket
#

Ah ok thanks

Just what if he is an insider and provides us with anonymous tips on what BT are gonna do next

#

We still don’t know much about Jack Bonney right?

#

He’s featured in almost all the black tusk ECHOs alongside sumner, brenner, and Schaefer

#

I just figure his is present alongside some other key BT figures, so he must have some importance

low mural
#

One of the leaders maybe?

#

Around the same rank as sumner

spiral turtle
#

Maybe

novel thicket
#

Was the agent they spotted in that one echo the player agent?

#

Also, isn’t jack Bonney the tank of the group? I’ve seen him in a few echos I think, and he’s been like a bodyguard figure.

low mural
#

Wasn’t summer the tank?

novel thicket
#

He wasn’t, and I don’t think you ever fought Bonney either, if i remember correct. He was just with them.

spiral turtle
#

They change archetype styles in the ECHOs a few times

#

Yeah we haven’t fought Bonney yet, I was just seeing what we know about him and if he will be more relevant in the future

novel thicket
#

so the recon team they had near the white house, they mentioned they saw an agent, is that the playeragent?

That would be my guess

Could’ve been Kelso

nah, kelso didnt ever approach from the south lawn, since she is an already existing agent and has been in dc for a long time. i dont think i know anyone who goes throough south lawn to get to the white house.

2nd boss is a pain, took us 2 hours to understand some mechanics

#

How many times you have to get error codes right to pour "lava" on train anyway?

round sinew

Neat

#

4 codes. But then you need to shoot weak points on crucible track to get it to move towards turret

sinful wharf
#

I have to do it in between codes or after ?

spiral turtle
#

I thought it was 6 codes?

#

@barren grove

barren grove
#

It was 25% for us each code.. 6 maybe if you count the initial one to spawn the boss

spiral turtle
#

Ok so it’s 5 codes

#

Cause he spawns after the first one

#

How do you see the percentage?

sinful wharf
#

What's setup they've managed with anyway? Is it 1 person in control room, 4 people outside on valves/defense, 3 people in, or 2 people in control room and only 2 inside? Trying to find optimal setup

#

I imagine its bit much for one person in control room, all at once I mean

spiral turtle
#

The one that works the best imo is 2 in control room, 2 tanks juggle the heat from Fieser room and the rest are running around with adds and doing the symbols

sinful wharf
#

@spiral turtle your group got past it yet ?

spiral turtle
#

I got off

#

For the night

barren grove
#

The person in control room can see progress. Think it’s on the crucible computer screen.

#

Someone in the forge needs to have DPS to shoot his backpack to prevent him from sending out that instadeath shockwave. Not sure the amount it takes to break the weakpoint and if tanks will be able to do it

#

2 in the control room would get interesting when the gates to the control room shut.

sinful wharf
#

We've found out you can just leave the room in time to skip that full room burn

#

Just empty it out entirely, then run back in - if tank is aiming which it usually is then you use 2 RPG's on it

#

Not sure if it's meant to be avoided like that but it worked for us

#

We never got past 2nd symbol tho :/

lone salmon
#

Yeah, a lot of people are saying Fieser is harder than the final boss

#

That said Williams seems to be an interesting roadblock too

#

@sinful wharf check the imgur link above for some tips

#

If you haven't already that is

sinful wharf
#

That imgur thing I've seen even before - but theres some parts it wont explain

#

Like how many crucible contents you have to drop on train

You have to drop it once then solidify it with water, or you have to do it more than once ?

@round sinew Actually you're legitimately dead. It shows on your allies' screens. "Maplestruck was killed"

I mean, yes.

But at the same time the game makes several notes throughout all the hint boxes that you're not dead, just unconscious, which is why it takes longer to get you back up rather than when you're in DBNO.

#

Honestly, I'd just chalk this up to the devs making an attempt to not really be 100% clear, so we can kind of assume.

What do they even pick up after I go unconscious? They just walk over to my body and pick up something.

Why did unknown tell bard to back off the division? That voice recording really just screws up everything about the lore.

@novel thicket they are doing it a strategic decision, I forget exactly where it’s explained, but it connects and makes sense with the lore

#

It’s part of them trying to decide which faction is going to give the decision the most trouble

They back off to get a better perspective and as said in another voice recording they supply the hyenas (hence invaded DUA)

static bay
#

you guys think shaw is suicidal?because how she speaks in the national zoo mission she shouts shit like "kill me" or "none of this matters", or could it be something to scare the division off
@cold bramble I really don't think so. When she says "You're nothing. This means nothing" you can hear the fear in her voice. She's obviously afraid of the fact that she's about to die

#

It's even apparent in her choice of words. She's using extreme words "you're nothing" to try and scare off the agents

novel thicket
#

She knows she’s cornered, and with the limited outcast firepower, she understands she’s lost the fight. She isn’t suicidal the way I look at it, but just wants the division to go down one way or another, whether this be through her hands or someone else’s, such as keeners.

static bay
#

Yeah. I know she says "make me a martyr" but you can hear the fear in her voice. She might be willing to go down for her cause but she's scared, and doesn't embrace the idea fully

I feel like it was the hunters that took out the bunker, if u look how alot of the people where killed it seems like they didn't even tho the enemy was there

#

If it was the outcasts they would have burned everyone

#

Even those first two bodys scream hunters because one of them is hung up by the arms just like how that hunter did to that agent in that weird side mission

#

@round sinew

round sinew
#

Yes.

#

Plus there's no other bodies.

pseudo cliff
#

Ya the agents would have taken out a few outcasts

round sinew
#

So you're telling me the Outcasts attacked a bunker of SHD agents with 0 losses? That ain't it chief.

#

Exactly

pseudo cliff
#

Alot of the shd units where stuff sitting in chairs and on couches

#

Like they where sneek attacked

round sinew
#

Which isn't the Outcast MO.

pseudo cliff
#

Maya even said "then those crazy fucks showed up" but she never calls the outcasts out by name

#

The outcast MO is fire and fear

#

Kill everyone in a brutal fashion

#

The hunters is fast and quiet

static bay
#

Remember the outcasts are insane
@pseudo cliff They're also kind of stupid. They believe that a ""world government"" is trying to take over the USA

pseudo cliff
#

True and they are led by a emotionally unstable exmom@static bay

#

To be fair she did become mentally ill after her daughter died, one recording says that she has nightmares about her daughter in quarantine

I'd be pretty pissed if that happened to me

pseudo cliff
#

Truw

#

True*

static bay
#

I mean ffs, not only is my daughter dead but now I'm also getting nightmares?

#

Anyways the real reason that the Outcasts are so mad at Maya is that she's part of the JTF, the same organisation that ran the quarantine

halcyon iron
#

They're also kind of stupid. They believe that a ""world government"" is trying to take over the USA
@static bay That is what black tusk's endgame is though

static bay
#

Everyone else was complicit, but the JTF were the ones who made the whole thing happen

#

fuck you're right

#

to be fair I heard the world government thing in endgame, what if the Outcast was talking about the shadowy cabal roaming DC, the Black Tusk?

pseudo cliff
#

But technically it was the true sons who did the quarantine+ the war crimes

static bay
#

Yeah but the True Sons were a JTF unit, and to the Outcasts the entire JTF is extra-guilty

#

remember that these are the same guys who lump in innocent civilians with their captors, what would they think when they see a JTF member?

pseudo cliff
#

They also clubbed a guy to death with hammers@static bay

static bay
#

ah yes that one. I try not to remember that one.

#

The worst part about it was how they threw in a pun at the start, "the architect of our suffering"

You remember the other outcast video?

Cause he was the architect who drew the quarantine site. Ha. Haha. Hhahahahahahaha

pseudo cliff
#

You sure? Your name says otherwise

round sinew
#

Isn't Maya a SHD agent?

#

Also Re:Bunker, I guess there's some audio that indicates Manny is also doubtful of Outcasts pulling off killing a bunker of agents, and we can find 18 people there(17 bodies and Maya, most of which are confirmed agents based on their watches)

#

Plus there's apparently some dialogue that can be overheard between Outcasts about some traitor or something that led the outcasts there. Iirc, it was a woman who made a deal with Shaw, then left the Outcasts.

#

So I'm guessing this is just missed story opportunities on part of the Devs, but maybe Maya was supposed to be expanded on.

pseudo cliff
#

So Maya might have been mistaken as the trader?

What’s that

#

You guys ever seen the movie called Wanted? An interesting scenario for another expansion or Manhunt would be that somehow Isac has deemed you rogue so you must clear your name somehow.

steel radish
#

Honestly some AI just randomly determining you’re eligible to get mowed down by your fellow agents is kinda scary

cursive wedge
#

yo that would be a cool stronghold where isac gets hacked and sets you to rogue and near the end kelso tries to kill you because she didnt know

steel radish
#

Uninstalling if I have to kill Kelso >:(

cursive wedge
#

nah nah nah like you just gotta get close enough to get or some shit while shes hitting u with mortars and snipers

#

then when you get close enough she feels all guilty or some shit

static bay
#

or maybe she realises that she can't do it and we have this whole twist moment about how trust between agents is more important that the system itself

steel radish
#

Well Kelso seems against authority as well

#

Seems fitting

static bay
#

Yeah dude. Her whole pathological insurbordination was used as bait to make you think that she was going to go Rogue in Warlords.

#

The longest serving agent, a focus on her in Warlords, her personality...it was the perfect bait and switch

Yeah, don’t you just love when the game mixes 5 activities together?

Seriously bro. I just had a Black Tusk grenadier launch a nade at me in the SMALLEST, TIGHTEST corridoor in Federal Emergency Bunker

novel thicket
#

That tight corridor?

#

You ever notice that your character in game knows the code to practically every door?

static bay
#

Oh the explanation is that ISAC has used his capabilities to decode the door or find the code from the enemy's database

#

Remember, The Division is able to DECRYPT ""large"" encrypted files

novel thicket
#

Right.

static bay
#

If you know anything about encryption, you're basically being shocked that an ultra distance runner completed a city marathon

#

I mean to ISAC, what is a mere number code?

#

In fact in Theo Parnell's mission, Paul says that we "shouldn't have access to this kind of technology", which hints at ISAC being cutting edge by our standards

round sinew
#

Rogues show up in open world?

#

Are they named? Is it only a certain difficulty? Do they spawn at certain points like the cards?

low mural

@round sinew randomly, you can hear music when they’re around

round sinew
#

Music.

#

They have fuckin' boss music.

spiral turtle
#

@round sinew yeah it’s a certain theme, and they are just named “Rogue Agent”. I think most appear at CP3s and up but I have ran into a pair or two looting from resource nodes

#

ISAC will also give a sharp ping noise and say “Rogue Agent detected” and then said music will start playing

steel radish
#

From my personal experience, they like to show up at supply drops

#

Additionally, they will always outnumber your group by one

Even if you have a 4 man team

@spiral turtle I ran into a trio last night on Coney Island Amusement Park with a buddy. We were

yeah so same for skill builds. I honestly don't think you can get kills with a skill build. It's just not gonna happen.

I get every kill.
