wht is a fresh run?
@pastel rune his eye jumps around super easy now and then his ai will start doing crazy strafes when hes being shot at
@tender hollow it means your starting from the very beginning with no checkpoints to start from
@oak oracle we dont need to start from begining and do it all? he can jump directly to razorback? and farm there 5 keys (5runs)?
If you somehow have 5 checkpoints at rb yes @tender hollow
Im looking for a good clan that does frequent raids. Any suggustions?
search on #td2-clan-recruitment a lot of clans talk about raid
@oak oracle can't u have a char saved at razorback and after u bring everyone in, switch your char?
Yeah i dont see why not
What is the best way to get past boomer on normal difficulty
Also looking for one more person
Having people in the correct spots and the right amount @tender hollow
You want 2 kiters 2 on donut and 40 2 on 43 and 44 and one one admiral burger and the last person is in the middle
Hi looking to do a raid, looking for a experienced team to join, have done raids on destiny before understand
Is the sacrifice chest piece good for the raid or does it make you to squishy

How does the raid work when playing with mixed players, some that have the expansion (lvl 40) and some that don’t (gs 515)? Does it scale up/down, is it a bad idea to have mixed teams?
What about delta 03 when i join raid group ?...
@gritty kelp dmg scales up still viable to play if you have the know how to play them (youtube guides etc) and a lot comunication
@tender hollow Ok so the DLC or not, it should not be an obstacle. Key is to know the mechanics/timing and communication. Nice
yes and be flexible cuz you can know how to do it and your team can do it in other way faster (comunication again 😉 )
What are the odds on completing a raid solo?
0%
You can’t solo boomer, can’t shoot the back while he chases you + computer, can’t activate both computer on 2nd phase, and can’t activate all four generator on razorback. And I’m not even gonna count the fact that you would never have enough dps for it
There’s also time limits so that’s why the dps from one isn’t enough. Also you can’t control all the adds while doing bosses
Can it be done with less than 8 prob, but it would be hard
Yeah, no. I mostly play solo.
So guess I'm out of the raids run.
Thanks for the explanation though.
Even if you play mostly solo, you can still find a raid group on here to do it just for the EB
Ever heard the phrase "the more I get to know ppl, the more I love my dog"?
But thanks.
Np, and maybe one day your dog will be able to play with you... who knows
If only....

Hi returning player what is the difference between the level 40 raid compared to level 30 raid I did last year summer
Hi returning player what is the difference between the level 40 raid compared to level 30 raid I did last year summer
@tender hollow its pretty much the same unless you want a quick raid completion time. If you want a quick raid time, due to the new gear, which we call Gear 2.0, the way you cheese the bosses is different.
Thats no where near accurate
Theres no more over damage on bosses unless you have a speedrun team and thats only for rb
The btsu gloves are the most useful things in the raid with the scanner pulse
for dogs?
im rookie still dont understand half abreviations used here 😉
i can search using this; LFR finish 1 time not experienced? how to abreviate last part?
Just curious how do u actually do the cheese with lucy and buddy
with the shock traps
Overcharge with btsu then toss the shock trap up from the middle of the 3 cords in the middle then everyone drops a booster and scan pulses @silver island

is a sniper doing 20-22 mil damage good for the Raid?
@valid marlincan you do one for stadia im, so fucking alone what i feel autist
stadia players can cross play with PC. u should be good participating in the PC lfg group. being on stadia, u would still have a uplay account right?@viscid python
@molten ether i shoot wit joystick snice 20 years ago, dont worry fot that , and if for matchmake, i have no way if not is join clan of someone,not my fault,jus,serching people for play,thanks with out a account no one can play
well u can still join PC raid group and play with joystick. since raid isn't a PvP competitive encounter that shouldn't be an issue. as long as u are good with that joystick, and u have a good DPS build, u can join raids. but i understand if u want to look for fellow stadia players.
but out of curiosity, are you "able" to join PC raid players? like can they actually invite u in game into a raid?
@molten ether im limited by stadia ,i apreciate the pc player of corse i join
And sorry by my englis spanins learn englis, in adults movies XD @molten ether
no worries. but if u are able to join PC players, generally these are the steps. u look for people in #lfg-raid-pc group who want more players in (for example) RV 10 (raid-voice-10) and then u join that voice channel. then u can talk to them and ask whoever is leading the raid to invite u. just chatting in the channel is not going to get u invites, u need to join the voice channel to sort of "reserve" ur spot in raid
good luck with the raid or finding other stadia players 👍
@molten ether under st, im new on that, first day thanks
trying to find a raid group on pc that channel doesnt excist xD lfg raid pc
@restive hinge You should be able to see the pc lfg channel now
yes i do now Ty ty
anyone doing raid need razorback 5 times for full keys
@solemn karma Use #lfg-raid-pc
Anyone raiding this morning
anyone having issues with lucy not being shocked by traps?
we are placing perfecty but she is still not being shocked...
@languid wyvern how are you throwing them
In a cluster
Just throw it right to the box where lucy comes out
When you have overcharge double click the throw button in the middle of the 3 cords where buddy and lucy walk into m
How does one reset all player skills?
@visual bloom u mean the SHD tech numbers that unlock the skill variants? there is no way to reset it, u just have to acquire more SHD tech to unlock the remaining ones.
No I mean during raid someone kept calling out resetting skills
BTSU overcharge can reset everyone's skills
What's that exactly?
one person, running BTSU gloves, can dismantle their hive skill, resetting all group members skills and granting them overcharge
so if the whole group is running reviver hive, and a BTSU player is running any hive skill, every 2 mins upon cancelling their hive, everyone's skill cooldowns get reset
well, technically only 1 person needs it in a raid. but yeah, go after black tusk enemies, one is sure to drop it
Thx!
tht gloves its for wony only?
tht gloves its for wony only?
@tender hollow its pre wony. so you don't need the wony expansion to get it.
If you like the DZ, DZ south is invaded Gloves today. i.e. its black tusks
ok ty

Im looking for a raid group ive done the raid before so i know what to do
@sleek niche Use #lfg-raid-console
Thanks
Why can’t people watch a raid guide before being carried? That saves both sides time
maybe cuz there are to many guides from 10m to 50m some helpfull some dont, and when you play if you have a bad leader or communication problem on team just rip...
If anybody knows whats to do. No „leader“ needed u only need a bit of communication for some timings
Like my team. We know what to do without being told. They can easily watch nothingbutskills. And maybe on your first completion it’s gonna take upwards of an hour
dude i spent up to 4 hours teaching a new group
know wht to do its diferent than experience doing it, and guides show diferent ways of doing it, and if a dude dies close to you forget the guide and improvise...or talk and if team talks back to you maybe more easy to resolve it. im talking about unexperienced players and diferent aproach players...
If u wanna raid a really bad server with bad admin dm me
anyone doing sherpas / know of any discord channels that sherpa raids?
Delta is discovery is the game saying “your not noob enough to be playing discovery. Go join a normal” 😂😂
Discovery is sometimes a lot of fun. You can try out different builds there.
LFG RAID VOICE 3 - VETS
confirmation, as long as you have keys, and down razor, is box a weekly reset like it used to be, or is it now as long as you have keys, on a new run?
I’m pretty sure you can open the box more then once, I did a fresh raid 3 times yesterday and was able to do the end box 3 times. But I don’t know if you EB can drop each time

Hello, I've only played the Raid once on Discovery and it was seemed pretty difficult. How difficult is a Raid on Normal? Are there any good tips/know-hows before starting a raid?
As to "how difficult the raid is on normal", well it depends entirely on your raid group.
It can be a cakewalk or smooth run with good groups or a horrible experience/ bad long run with bad groups. @tender hollow
For tips: make your self a good meta dps build (so 3 providence, contractors, fox prayers and coyotes or grupo, with classic M1A with unbreakable and vigilance)
Also watch a few recent videos about boss fights to get an idea, but the strategy you guys use depends on your raid lead.
https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/g9w0xj/baseline_dps_build_for_any_contentraid/
go with unbreakable the first couple of runs you do, then you may want to try other talents with more dps
@icy hull I saw a year old video of Raid Guide, but has it changed much? As in maybe a small boss doesn't spawn, etc
From a year ago, yes some stuff has changed. Focus only on TU8 + videos (so March onward.)
Thank you!
Anyone knows if on raid player lvl scales?
for example if im lvl 30 and running with a lvl 40 team will ii get a boost on stats? On discovery it scales tho
@tight girder yes it scales to lvl 40
the stats scale
Then any idea why a raid-leader i had didnt invite a guy bc he was 30 ?
Even if he had maxed out stats?
🤷♂️ some raid leaders are nit picky
but the values do scale. like for example if the max weapon damage on gear is 10% at lvl 30 and u have 6%, then if at lvl 40 if the max weapon damage is 100% your gear will have 60% weapon damage
but ofcourse at lvl 30 u may not have access to some brands that further boosts stats effectively, like groupo, ceska, bullet king etc
but u can still raid as long as u have optimized gear
Alright thanks for the advice. That's a big help
Good afternoon all. It’s currently 1:31 pm in NC and I’m looking to raid today on XBOX one. I’ve got comms and have completed Dark Hours 10+ times with a meta DPS build. Please let me know if there is availability in your group. Thanks.

🤷♂️ some raid leaders are nit picky
@molten ether I've been told by some with 1000+ normal completions and these people know their stuff. For a level 30 raiding with level 40s
Lvl 30 weapon damage will scale up to do Lvl 38 damage
Their armor will remain the same, which is low
If they are an optimised red build, in many cases they will do more damage than an optimised lvl 40 TP/Striker/Negotiator/Tank/Skill build, but they will not do as much damage as a red build with ok gear.
@tender hollow i can't refute your statement, cause i haven't tested this myself. but i don't accept that weapon damage scales and armor doesn't scale. if it indeed doesn't scale, then it should be treated as a bug and reported to ubi.
i know that normally when level 30 wt5 folks join a level 40 party, they scale to level 38 in worldly activities. but the 2 raids my fellow level 30 wt5 clan mate ran with us, i didn't particularly see him scale up. i could see all his stats as level 30 wt5 stats. but he could still hold his own which makes me suspect he was scaled all the way up to 40. The only thing i did notice was that for the raid level 40 title on the top, there was a scaling icon along with it, to indicate normalized raid.
i might test your hypothesis someday, play with my level 30 character to see how the scaling is working, maybe u are right and i'm wrong.
but still my statement remains the same, some raid leaders are being nit picky. as long as u aren't speed running, it doesn't hurt to accept a level 30 player in your midst. if they know what to do, and have a dps build, maybe u take 5 more mins to finish the raid 🤷♂️
^ I didn't say good level 30 players can't hold their own in a level 40 raid. Just stating what I have been told.
There are level 30 players who regularly do normal raids. Discovery raids also usually have at least 2 level 30s.
In fact I also posted, "if they are an optimised red build, in many cases they will do more damage than an optimised lvl 40 TP/Striker/Negotiator/Tank/Skill build"
i.e. implying that its easier to raid with a level 30 with a good dps build, than a level 40 on a non-dps build
^ I have to add this is in general. There are top 1% players, who do legendaries mostly, and every now and then for fun do a raid, who slay with their strikers/gear set builds.
What is a good build for a Raid?
DPS DPS DPS
and like 1 guy with skill dmg 🙂
Well Raid is just an 8 man dps party atm
Its just learning the mechanics of the raid which all you do
@dusty snow lol ppl will find a way around it. And since spec ammo won’t be lost when switching they can easily swap builds
Hi guys, new on this discord, but started playing almost nonstop since launch. I'm in a clan of 5 people, all very close friends and 4 of us are very active. We're looking to join a group who can show us the ropes on doing raids and help us finish, and hopefully get the much coveted raid exclusive loots to complete our collection. We've done heroics but haven't tried out legendary yet.
What's the proper etiquette and process to go about this? Thanks to anybody who would answer! 
- Read raid guides. (Make sure it is normal difficulty guide)
- Prep builds. DPS build for Operation Dark Hours (no idea on second raid that will come out soon). Please no rainbow builds.
- Look for group in chat right below. Also worth mentioning you’re new.
- When you join, tell people you’re new (or have only done raid a few times)
For you, it might be better to split yourselves into one or two people, cuz taking 4 inexperienced people to raid is ‘risky’. It takes a couple of raids to get used to the mechanics, so take time and learn.
Lastly, current raid exclusive loot is Eagle Bearer, which I read somewhere that it is like 1% drop chance from each boss or 10% from end of game cache. You need 5 keys to open the cache, and you need to loot 4 keys from key boxes (once every reset which is Tuesday). Final boss Razorback always drops keys, so u could clear the raid 5 more times to open end of raid cache again. Basically fresh clear (after reset) for first cache opening, then five more clears for another cache opening and so on.
If you need to loot keys from key boxes, tell the raid group that you need keys. People will help you with where and how to get keys, unless they’re jerks
thanks for the tips. are there any benchmarks on builds we need to be gunning for? ie. min armor, min dps, min crit chance and damage, etc?
ehhhhhh 45% chc, 120% chd? it's p easy with 2 or 3 providence and 1 grupo (not necessary unless you dont use contractor glove or only have 2 providence). fox's prayer kneepad is decent cuz of dmg out of cover. rest are up to you. I use coyote mask, 3 providence (unbreakable and vigilance), fox's prayer and contractor glove
i don't prefer glass cannon because it is less forgiving on mistakes. backpack talent could be swapped to composure if you're gonna use cover and not take chances of getting hit (i don't think you get hit that frequently anyway). overwatch could be useful for general group-wide buff but not necessary
booting up my game just to check my stats 😛
tbh as you experience different groups you'll see what gears your group will need. just that current BTSU glove + 6~7 overcharged scanner pulse stacking will not work once TU10 hits, so you'll need to learn to do the raids the 'normal way' (currently most groups are using BTSU glove to do it cheese mode 😄 )
i'm currently running a nego build with contractor's glove and Coyote's mask. Bullet king and Baker's dozen as weapons. CC is at 50%, CD is at 112%. All weapon damage at 86k++
I also do have the glass cannon build, but I agree that the penalty is too steep.
I'll hit up the lfg raid channel and see if i can join a couple of raids. I'll make sure to let people know it's my first time so they can all be patient with me. Thanks man!
FRESH RAID ON RAID-VOICE 4
oh wow they chnaged the raid to darkhours raid that means the new raid is coming really soon
its always been called "dark hours raid"... also devs already said they are aiming to release raid 2 a few weeks after TU10 launch.@lament harness
Naw what I meant is that they added a tab for the dad hours raid specifically
@icy hull
ah okay
what day does the raid keys reset
@grim vessel Tuesday
For a speed run boomer must get up the second he goes down. If it takes too long it’s a reset
And that’s a way to maximise the shock trap
Shock trap person running:
1pc golan, skill haste, status effects
2pc wyvern, skill haste, status effects
3pc HW, status effects
Shock trap and explosive sticky bomb
MUST be running preparation and at least procc it on the 3rd phase of boomer going down
As soon as boomer goes down he should get up immediately. If not there’s a lack of dps
People who will be doing damage to him should be running HSD everywhere. The WD/ svd can be used

@polar wyvern ND is not a raid gear and pretty useless at raid so try to change to 3pc providence+coyote+ceska+fox prayer
@haughty girder @modern anchor @azure ruin @wispy chasm @timid gulch @white nimbus and the last guy I can't remember: Sorry for the sudden disconnect last night. Internet went out and I think it was an external problem. Reset all my equipment but after 20 min and it didn't come back on I went to bed, figured you filled. Really sorry, was a fun group.
@fathom sorrel no worries brother. Always pleasure playing with you
@fathom sorrel , yeah no problem bud. We figure it out that was a internet connection.
@tender hollow does that even work
I use 4pc hw with coyotes mask and vanguard golan chest and it works very well

Dont need overcharge hw can solo it the whole time

@valid marlin is there a noob raid channel? Like, a place for first-timers to connect with one another and sherpas?
@broken violet there isn't such a channel, but u can still try to use the #lfg-raid-ps4 channel to find a group that would be able to help out. or check out your #clan-recruitment-ps4 channel for any active clans that do raids.
how often can i do raids? if im after an exotic, can i do like many raids in one day?
well, the keys from the boxes are once a week. but the last boss always drops a key. so upto you .
ok, is there 4 or 5 keys in total?
5
4 boxes and a boss?
4 from the boxes. 1 from the last boss
once per week can i get all 5 keys, otherwise just one from the boss?
Yup
alright, thank you!
np
What’s the chance for eagle bearer out of the big box at the end
10% supposedly
1% chance from all 4 bosses, 10% from box at end
Will the bosses still drop loot if I already beaten them once before the reset
think its 10% on your first clear of the week
then its just 1% like the rest of the bosses
Looking for ps4 raid players
@flint iris Yes, the bosses still drop loot and a chance for the EB each run. The only thing that changes on run 2+ for the week is the 4 keys in the boxes along the way are not obtainable (weekly reset). There is also some speculation that the loot on subsequent runs is not as good as the first of the week. The big crate at the end takes 5 keys to open, so as long as you have the keys, you can open it. Razorback always drops a key no matter how many times a week you destroy it.
That’s good to know, thanks a lot
@polar wyvern ND is not a raid gear and pretty useless at raid so try to change to 3pc providence+coyote+ceska+fox prayer
@winged dock Thanks for the tip, I'll check if i can get good rolled providence. I think i'm missing one piece.

can anyone tell me how the btsu gloves work and why we are making so much dmg with it ?
@tribal stream when the btsu user destroys a hive it grants overcharge to the whole team no matter the skill tier and if you use a remote or scanner pulse it grants 15% more damage per pulse for 15 seconds
thx ^^
Looking for Raid group xb1 gt: Wolf ElitHun
@hazy musk It's enough to post it once in #578577794561474571 which is the right channel for lfg posts, this one is for discussions
for the BTSU gloves, once i destroy the hive i should start to ask allies to pulse am i right?
Np. If you look closely you can see (under the UI) the buff you get from the BTSU (it appears for 2 sec ish) the pulse/booster should be dropped during that time. Although don't count on your teammates to notice it during a battle
Lol I just hate it when I ask if they still need any for raid and they go from green status to grey
gave away eaglebug yesterday, FeelsGood
I’m a solo and dying to do the raid. Anybody want to help a brother out? I want the eb so bad but can never find a crew to run with
Anybody? I’m dying to get the eb.
Saw this in an article: “The only guaranteed way to obtain the Eagle Bearer exotic is to beat the raid five times..”. True or False?
False. It's an rng based (10% from the box - required 5 keys, less then 1% from each boss for the first time you raid for the week) so technically 10 times should grant you 1 EB. But in my exp you'll have to open that box more then that on average
Or just be like me and get it on the very 1st time I opened the box lol

How is an 8 min speed run possible? Definitely some cheating going on if they one tap razorback in tu9.
1.2 mins doing tarmac and getting to boomer
One shot boomer is gone. Likely a min there
30 secs getting to the hangar
1.5 min weasel
3 min ad fight/ getting to B&L
10 secs B&L
30 secs getting to RB
3 min RB if he gets taken down properly
3 min ad fight I mean getting outside the hangar, inside baggage handling then running to B&L
Legit way not one shotting the bosses

@tender hollow you can check out the top speedrunner VoDs in TU9.1 here https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/gtgn21/hfr_the_division_2_operation_dark_hours_speedrun/
^^ dps is king. Weasel, btsu straight away. B&L balanced. RB perfect focus x 4 I assume.
Hi ✋🏻
Hi
How can i bulid armor for raid?
Armor?
Yes
Like as a tank?
Yes
Not sure, personally haven’t been in a raid myself
I see
I just want to know what's important, is it the hazard protection or armor regeneration
Armor builds aren't useful at all in the raid. Although after saying that, if you do want to build one you have 2 options:
either 4 pieces TP with "pointman" chest (named gila) and "motherly love" gloves
or
3 pieces gila (again, named chest & motherly love)
And how can i get these gila armor?
Farm gila treget loot area
Are you lvl 30 yet
I'm lvl 40
Huh!!!
@thorny horizon did i say something wrong?
Nah I just don’t think he understood targeted loot maybe?
I don't get what u mean
When you open your map there's an option called "target loot" click on it
Target loot
That's right. Did you find it?
Mhm
Right now i'm not near by the ps4 😅
But i'm want to understand what should i do to enter the raid
My brother said to me that i have at least 80% of hazard protection to enter the raid
That's not true. Put a good DPS build together and you're good
Could u please explain to me the best DPS
Also u kinda need a coordinated team
With come and stuff
Or else it gets hard
Comms *
Go watch a ya vid
Those explains well
Yt *
Everyones dps build is different, but here is a good starting point > https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/g9w0xj/baseline_dps_build_for_any_contentraid/
Initially use unbreakable then try other chest talents when you get more comfortable doing raids
@turbid spruce big ups to this guy, incredible raid leader
explained every single step to 2 of our players on their first run, which was successful 
you have to be level 30 to do raids dont you
you have to be level 30 to do raids dont you
@tender hollow yes and wt 3 if i'm right
wt5 and at least 480 gear score
Is the hazard protection important in the raid?
That's not true. Put a good DPS build together and you're good
@vagrant wing What's not clear @thorny horizon ?
fair enough
@thorny horizon hazard protection is not important for the dark hours raid. just dps and coordination
Thank u so much 😊
Question...

Me and a couple of buddies want to do a hardcore raid and I being as high as I am had a thought that is either brilliant or very stupid... can bubble 40 players join on a level 30 who starts a raid and would that make it a level 30 raid
Like can seven of us at level 40 hardcore join in on a level 30 hardcore player and do his ring
Raid*
Don’t think so but not sure
Either this Cinderella Kush has me believing that it's a brilliant idea and that it should work in Theory or I should just quit smoking now
@stuck kite levels 40 cant join a lv 30s raid, but level 30s can join the 40s.
@stuck kite I mean if you have decent gear, even lvl 40 won't be that hard. Have 1 tardigrade vest in too for raid
Is aces support build good or should i go for dps build(1st timer)
Unbreakable crit rifle build imo
So wait 1 person wearing tardigrades boosts all 8 members in a raid? yet each sub group only gets buffed by their own demo and firewall members? That seems awfully stupid.
Anyone on Xbox doing a raid?
@stuck kite it did before, can say when I have run myself again
@remote heron thanks 😊

Hi, new here, what does RV1/2 means??
@deft axle Raid voice (channel) 1 or 2
Looking for fresh raid
NEED RAID ASAP
Or?
😱
now i'm terrified
Same here and its always 2 messages under the take your lfgs to the lfg channel too
RV6 need a few more
Add me please
Yes
Does hollowman mask help for all bosses in DH raid?
Only really razorback and thats it
@normal mirage mostly Razorback cause all other all have armour bars before health
Ooo didn’t see that answer before I’m blind lol
someone mentioned the bars on boomer isnt really shield it counts as health too @oak oracle @flint iris but Im not 100%
Ah ok the more you know
I guess maybe it'd be good against buddy/lucy too? since they're robotics and usually hollow man is better against robotics
I generally only run it against razorback
Buddy and Lucy have armour bars tho so idk
yeah, it's so unclear
I guess maybe it'd be good against buddy/lucy too? since they're robotics and usually hollow man is better against robotics
@sonic sphinx good for Razorback, Weakpoints on Ads and Dogs.
Not including B&L
raid is a bit lame imo
should be longer
Like....After various completions, I just like to call it the "Obnoxious Mission"
any raids?
I've finished Dark Hours 7 times. Still no EB sadly
yeah Im just doing it once a week, and then joining razorback/buddy lucy groups for quick keys. No EB but I just started 2 weeks ago.
Yeah. Like, IMO, the raid should be bigger
Only 7 and complaining already? 🙂
Hey, I'm not complaining about it being too hard
It's like 10% drop on paper
I'm complaining about the raid being too short and easy
Like, tell me what challenge is there on Boomer if you can literally insta down him with a Nemesis build?
They got rid of it a while ago. Anyway the raid hardness comes from the coordination between the players not the enemies
Eh. It shouldn't happen. The challenge should be both
Plus after the raid came out it took a month or so for most players to complete it
Yeah, but now...it takes 10 minutes
im talking the raid now
not a month post release
Yeah. Cause ppl developed ways to deal with it. If you looking for a challenge take 4 new ppl into the raid and see what happened
Or try doing it for time
4 raids in a day? Got it
everything become easier after you get use to it
Yeah. Except it doesn't in some cases. I'm a retired WoW dude. I remember having ran both Lich King and Cataclysm key raids there. Even after 4 raids, it was still a very well 4 hour challenge
like....maybe Dark Hours has a problem?
maybe it is too short?
maybe the bosses should have more phases?
I never played WoW but i don't want to play a single thing for over an hour. I completed the raid for the first time back in the first month and it took us 2.5 hrs. My first legendary took over an hour. Now it's shorter ofc and i'm good with it. Doing it again of over an hour will make me mad 🙂
Well. Maybe that one is a more personal issue of yours probably depending on how your times are setup on your end, so wont get to it. I sadly have more free time than average so....i tend to like more time consuming challenges
I see. Why don't you make your own challenges then? speedrunning content (raid and legendaries) might suck your time in 🙂
perhaps it does. perhaps. but hey, longer raid means more loot and stuff which also means more drop chances for the EB
More stuff - maybe... the stuff you get are mostly trash anyway
Higher chance? not really. You have less then 1% chance for the EB from
hey. 0.25% plus chance is still an increase, plus more time spent in an unexplored location
Alright. What can i say? all you have now is to pray the new raid will be longer 🙂
i hope it is

How "easy" is Discovery anyway? I'm still skeptical
Discovery is really easy if you've done normal raid before. Most of the actual raid mechanics are not there on discovery, so it's mostly just run and shoot stuff simulator
What should I be aiming for in my raid build these days?
The classic red build with bk and m1a
Is this place a good way to join a group to get my first run
Either way im gonna find a group saturday morning, got a dps and a aces build. Any suggestions?
go with the dps build, sniper rifles don't work too well in the raid
Ok, im using a perfect unbreakable chest piece with that dps build for safety
You got many runs in the raid lord2800?
~20
everything is fairly close range in the raid, and while you could make use of a sniper in weasel and buddy/lucy maybe, you're honestly just better off with a mid-range weapon and crit chance/damage
Here's some build options. For a first run go with the standard DPS until you understand and want to try the other roles. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQs7Zp_040f0htRacOwPP-qc9DSozQZTaZ8nvt0yyjvPOQ0ulbdDsesMKMjxetxP1tHl1aAWfshXpbG/pubhtml
Ok slackeratc1. I did the discovery raid a couple of times but thats nowhere near the real thing right. Thanks for the feedback guys. Im gonna look into that build. Maybe see you saterday morning?
it's close, but there are some definite changes between the two
Discovery gives a good sense of the raid, but some mechanics are missing, enemies are tankier and do more damage, and group communication and timing is much more important. If you can find a group of 6-7 exp players to help you through your first few times it'll be no problem. Most groups are ok with that, you just have to tell them upfront that you are first time clear and they will help put you in the right spot.
at least you won't be going in completely blind
but yeah, just be upfront about your experience--you'll be fine
Just looked at the build slackeratc1, the only part i do not have is the bulletking which im farming for next in the wall street mission. Im looking forward to the raid. 👍
bullet king is helpful but not essential
a negev with fast hands or steady handed (and good aim) with the +50 round pouch from gunner can substitute in just fine
The bullet king is second last exotic gun i do not have, and it looks bad... Right!
Bk is a disguised water gun use 2 m1as or an m1a and a mg5
Ok why the hell discovery mode exists?
Just tried it out to get the achievement and discovery mode actually will make you worse at doing normal raid.
just go into the room chat channelbelow
There you can search for raids or join a group
ok thx
Discovery exists so you can get a feel for the raid and to have some knowledge for the bosses for the real raid
Question: how does these checkpoints work? Can you fasttravel to em?
I mean discord by raid is kinda pointless
The missing mechanisms and the stupid match making team mates make it next to@impossible to finish
Good thing they aren’t bring it for the second one
What kind of build do I need for the raid? I'm running true Patriot/pestilence/glass cannon right now
Full red max chc/ chd build.
@icy hull what gun? I'm currently 75% blue, 25% red
Here's the meta raid build
Full meta Dps – all reds
3 prov
Coyote
Contractors
Fox prayer
Weapon: Cm1a + Fast hands MG5
Talents: Chest: unbreakable/ Pack: vigilance
Skills: revive hive + pulse/turret/heal (depends on boss and strat)
Anyone running raid today?
how this work exactly bc im new to this chanel ?
Its for asking questions about the raid but no matter how many times a mod says take it to the actual lfg it just doesn't happen
lol right !
Any group playing the raid?
Oh ffs
@wise helm @wet matrix If you are looking for people to raid with use #578577794561474571
Will do.
Lol @oak oracle
I’m proud to say got our time to 19 minutes and a few seconds last night . Woot woot
ahahahahaha @oak oracle I felt the secondhand frustration
Are people normally willing to take a rookie on a raid?
Are people normally willing to take a rookie on a raid?
@raven sable depends on the group, some clans are happy to help, streamers are happy to help
Thank you I’m mostly solo or duo just looking to get the raid done and get the eb ran tons raids on destiny hard to find a group for division thanks for reply
How come at time’s when boomer does his bashing animation I take 0 damage then next time I go down immediately how!
? Fking hate that
Is it easy to find a raid group willing to teach two new raiders?
@raven sable sending you a pm
@ornate haven well it's usually as easy as asking
I'd do it but my gaming rig is 🅱️ roke
guy i have a question, me and my buddies been trying to use the shock trap to stop boomer from throwing the grende but we have been failing for 2 hours, have they cancelled it?
ah alright thanks 🙂
We need three person for raid
@bronze verge still have space for + 1
yep
@bronze verge ok I’ll log in. ETA 5 min gamer tag is IsShumOneDare
@bronze verge I’m on Xbox, logging in now
iam on pc
@bronze verge lol that will not work
You can identify the platform by the color of the nickname, fyi. Purple = PC, Green = XB1, Red = PS4
@night swan it still works just fine
@night swan it still works just fine
@oak oracle he still throws the jammer when he’s shocked, maybe we did it wrong
Damage was too fast
When the traps explode and they make that black cloud have the shock trapper call damage and then your dps will burst him down to the damage cap and then rinse and repeat
@night swan
@oak oracle that’s what we did
Unless damage was too slow thats the reason her tosses the grenade
Providence on Lincoln Memorial today for those farming DPS/Raid build gear
Lfg raid I can fill any role
lfg raid
Are they nerfing the current raid build that everyone is running in TU10
@night swan it’s very hard to throw it in the right spot for boomer . Some do it with ease . Make sure you have status effect build on or it won’t work .
@tender hollow somewhat yes
he throws jammer when you shock him too late or when he stands up too fast. you need to control dps on him
so once he is down, he has time to get shocked, and not stands up instantly
It is a bit tricky, but its mostly about controling dps. the best so only few shoots him when he's down.
you can't exceed 2 armor bars of damage each time, bcz then he stands up. he still can be shocked, but when he stands up too fast he will start throwing emp
Hey is that BTSU Glove thing people are using to kill Buddy and Lucy in like 20 seconds classed as an exploit?
Btsu gloves is getting a nerf, and I’ve seen ppl on legit speed runs that kill them in less than 5 seconds @golden lynx
Yes but is the current way people are doing it an exploit.
its not an exploit, pulses on overcharge gives +15% amplified damage, pulses stack together, so more people pulse, higher damage
Anyone down to do a raid today got 5 already? PSn is JD_GOT10-10
@magic karma #lfg-raid-console
we're starting a fresh raid in RV4. need experienced raiders

@meager umbra No, you don't need the DLC
okay ty
Damn the mods really don't get paid enough to redirect people to lfg-raid.........maybe if they changed this channel's description it would help? Since it appears people are too lazy to read what each channel is for beforehand
NEED 1 FRSH RAID RAID-VOICE-3
@harsh furnace
Lol I’ll join
For dark hours here’s 2 things I don’t like
- All drone archetypes got replaced with the rusher which is a big nope for me
- Over damage can’t be done on boomer or razorback
@steel bough hey babe
Meaning in hc the shotgunners are gonna be a problem
@steel bough @fossil cipher if it’s not about the raid take it to dm’s or #off-topic-discussions
Whos this guy?
If you don’t wanna hear it from me @valid marlin will tell you
If it’s nothing about the raid don’t talk about it here
I’m just saying. No need to get that defensive
If your on PS4 join my party chat
All 3 of youse
Is there anyone will to teach the raid mechanics
Youtube is your friend @void chasm
^^^^
Update is tomorrow at 4am central. Should I change my raid build from crits to weapon damage handling and headshot?
i mean depends entirely on how good your aim is. if you have excellent aim, then that is good for all but buddy/lucy and razor back.
@tender hollow there is overdamage on rb, most teams can 3 phase and some can 1 phase
Over damage as in one shotting them all like the pc “speed run”
I know you can 3 phase it
Yes as in the "speedrun" its really not that hard just need 3 people to have a good sync and get lucky
Anyone for raid xb1? Linked chat is dead 😴
1 more needed FRESH RAID RAID-VOICE-3
Looking to raid if anyone is looking
Well this chat is even more dead thats why it isnt the .... LFG
raid for noobs
boomer: 2 people on turret, 1 at each letter in middle, 1 kiter and 1 at donut. destroy the nodes and kill ads, kiter should bring him towards 45 then do a 180 making sure his bp is facing 45, turret person launches fire on his bp, whoever has LOS of boomer do damage, turret person will now have aggro and should kite boomer to 41, 41 guy should call out what comp it is. E.G if its B, ONLY B has to interact, rinse repeat
weasel: 4 on each side, doesn't matter, B side has a dmg buff and A has a dmg debuff, B will know what panel it is, both sides press it at the same time, both bosses should die at the same time, A will now know what panel you have to press, again press at same time, recommended press it once the counts at 14
Buddy and lucy: 2 mechanical dogs, Buddy provides a heal while lucy has a one shot 360 spin, look at the armor bar at the top of your screen. keep them both in what shop they came out of, when lucy goes down get in cover and wait out that 360, buddy will heal after 6 secs and can overheal, next time he goes down he'll insta heal once he's up. make sure their armor in in between the bar, after that halfway mark every 2nd time buddy goes down he will heal, make sure to kill buddy first
and as for razorback its best watching a yt vid
@hexed gust hard (for some ppl) endgame content that requires good teamwork and team coordination
Also done in 8 man groups
So i need a mic ? @flint iris
A good build?
does LFM and LF5M
etc mean
k
the number means looking for 5 man
You might need more skill damage to take out Razorback drones now, if you maxed out on repair skills before.
So anyone putting together a team to go for worlds first in Operation Iron Horse?
Well if anyone is, or is interested and is EU Based then DM me. I am down
Question
Can I do raids with lv40 players like can I survive and dmg enemies?
Yes @gray rose lvl 30 joining lvl 40 scale up so if you have a half decent build, you should be fine
@vagrant wing can u suggest me a build
yay no more shock trapping buddyt and lucy
Hey can someone help me do raid for the first time i play xbox
who else is having a fun time killing drones in razor back TU10 lol
On razorback why don’t the drones die with the jammer build? The are a one shot once they are jammed
they changed something in TU10. A tier 6 HW build with jammer isnt enough to kill the drones...and the cooldown isnt fast enough to get the 2nd one off
although the person who tested this didnt have any skill damage, so maybe that might make a difference
i mean you needed at least +30ish total skill damage to 1 shot the drones before...
hm. So I guess the guy who was trying was lying then 😛
@icy hull do you know if its skill dmg or status effect that boosts dmg on jammer against drones?
both
so if I have 4 pc HW , 2 of them with status effect and 2 with skill dmg it should be enough?
should be. i forgot the exact needed amount but you need about 30ish total skill damage to 1 shot them.
hmm ok thanks. HW has some built in so I'll go test
yes AND no.... on HW.
the HW will help you with the 2nd wave but you might not have that damage boost for the 1st wave.
lol well thats not confusing. 3+pc = 15 skill dmg. if you throw in 2 more on the rolls should be 30 ish
wait... forgot about the base skill damage lol
is anyone else getting a ridiculous number of exotic drops?
@vital mural yea lol they increase it I think today
I've gotten 7 from missions today....
I need help with a raid ps4
Anyone raiding xb1?
@low wedge #lfg-raid-ps4
is everyone that upset with the raid being returned to normal? by that i mean not being able to shock trap
There seem to be a lot of angry people down in the LFG chan o.O, i find it fun again at last
You had an argument with literally like 3 participants... that's a far cry from everyone or a lot of angry ppl....
Did the raid last night, just means a bit more work and can't cheese it
but it's a little disappointing that bugs that favour players are generally fixed faster than others
I also can't understand why BTSU was changed in that way if the intent was to fix people cheesing the raid.
The problem is the eagle bearer drop rate... who wants to spend over potential hour long raid just to have 90% of no eagle beearer
Bro if eagle bearer was dropping every single time it wouldn’t be special
It would just be like any other gun
Im not saying make it super high drop rate. At least make it reasonable especially when theres no matchmaking
I mean I get it, it is frustrating to do raids over and over but eagle bearer is why you’re doing it
Yes that I agree with
You might need more skill damage to take out Razorback drones now, if you maxed out on repair skills before.
@tender hollow you needed +40% to 50% before. I think you may need even more now. Remember there are bonuses on your SDH watch for skill damage and also technician drone bonus damage and out of cover bonus etc. etc.
EZ PZ lemon squeezy
@wispy perch what is your total +skill damage + SHD skill damage?
so I had mine optimised so I could do more healing i.e. not maxed out skill damage on every piece, but now I gotta switch in more skill damage
for the people i raid with i do. not always
I will say this: the raids should get matchmaking
Iron Horse especially
That way everyone gets a fair chance to play and learn the raid and all
Maybe not so much for Dark Hours, but for Iron Horse, matchmaking would help
IMHO, blocking matchmaking is what creates the problem of people not knowing the raid
Plus it would help more people get the Eagle Bearer
Which would also help balance PvP out
Since PvP is broken Because of the Eagle Bearer
I can't agree on the matchmaking is what is causing ppl to not know the raid
Just my perspective - in other game where i have raided (WoW predominantly), there is matchmaking, but it's an easy version just like discovery mode
But moving from discovery to normal requires a few pre-requisite too, and i think communication is a key part in raiding
unless you can make sure ppl can communicate using voice and in a common language, it'll be tough to run in a matchmaking environment where it's possible many are new
I started raiding about 3 weeks back, and it's ppl on this Discord who taught me the various strats using voice
There was a guy on this discord a few days ago didn't speak very good english and didn't / couldn't understand the explanations, we ended up having to kick him because everytime he gets to boomer he just jumps on the turret and start the encounter, or won't shoo the backpack etc
Matchmaking in the current discovery raid is actually not teaching people the right mechanics; hence when they transition to normal raid all the bad habits were brought over. Unless it's implemented with the same raid but at an easier difficulty (NPC with less health and less damage) and exactly same mechanic, matchmaking in its current state won't help
Maybe something like mark yourself as experienced or not and have a group where it's 6 experience & 2 new might work
Yeah it's stripped of mechanics
It's also in a way trend of gaming - Majority don't enjoy 2 hr raids, they enjoy difficulty but in say 30 mins sessions similar to MOBA, i can only imagine Discovery with the same mechanics, it'll take a matchmaking group forever to learn if nobody in the group can lead and everyone actually listens
I think one thing that WoW had that might work for Div2 is the LFG tool that they implemented in later expansions in the game
@elfin bronze the problem here is that Raids can take just half an hour. An experienced (and unskilled) group can consistently churn out 30 minute times. The guys in my clan are only gamers on the side but when we were finally free to do a raid together it took just 25 minutes
Unfortunately raids aren't always 30 minutes because if Massive made the raid easy enough to clear in 30 minutes first try, it would be so easy that experienced groups like my clan could clear it in 15 minutes or even 5, doing the raid 6 times in a 30 minute span
Maybe not my clan but I'm sure those chaps on YouTube wouldn't have a problem doing a 5 minute clear on a shorter raid
It wouldnt be a raid anymore, just a glorified mission xD
Yeah, that's the issue.
I mean Massive did do a pretty good job working around this by allowing you to save your progress on bosses. The real trouble is that for some reason I cannot pinpoint, matchmaking here takes forever and a half
Why does razorback feel harder? It’s not enough SD to kill them and drones are out while we’re damaging it. Would be a 2 phase but vigilance is lost almost immediate for us all
If the group has a good jammer build person should still take care of the drones no problem
Here we go again, shoot the drones. SHOOT THE DRONES. Someone shoot the drones. Oh, we wipe. Please, shoot the drones guys.
Wait why isn't there anyone jamming on the team?
I mean it sucks but sometimes if everyone has skill tier 1 jammers all the circle players must run jammer
This isn't a thing in first month of the raid, we used to just shoot, ain't hard to shoot it unless you staring at it menacingly
But hey, if you like admire the drone shooting at you and you enjoy going down, kudos
Okay don't laugh but how do you guys shoot the drones? I can never get enough of the damned things to go down even with BK
Like there's just too many
Wait what? I get at least 15 or more judging from how much stuff drops when I jam
That's actually weird
Maybe it is 15 but it's like 5 ~ 7 each side if I'm not wrong
Let me use the BK next raid and get back to you. Maybe my counting just sucks
Who cares how many, literally shoot it 🐵
Yeah 5-7 each side, that seems about right. It's just so hard to aim against the sky
Although I can understand what you're saying is people are literally not firing
Wot ? You playing with a controller.. ? Just prepare ? It's 8 man group, the people killing ads can pre aim the drones
Huh. Never thought of that somehow.
Again, whichever method people prefer, go ahead but the moment people bitch about drones, I'm just gonna roast your ass for it
The drones always land the same spot in a line everytime, unless you been blinded by a bald teammate, that's an excuse
I chuckled.
Oh ya ? You should try first month of the raid where team goes down and bitch about drones
That's.... Actually good advice.
Not sure if it still works but you can stop the drone from spawning by survive long enough not to go down since it's per wave and there's a limit
Older times, we could just slap extra heals while having mad damage I say and single person bitch about drone 👨🦽
Only fight I'm seeing now is Lucy and Buddy back to the old method but I haven't done it, so I don't know what people do now
I'm guessing we're back to doing it the usual way :(
I don't know what is usual way, there's so many "USUAL" for it
Could be 6 buddy, 2 lucy, 4 - 4, just leave and find another group or rage quit 🐵
5 buddy 3 lucy you mean, the groups I find don't have the DPS for a 6-2
With regards to Lucy & Buddy I always like the method whereby everyone stays at the far end of the entrance, so everyone gets to headshot both Lucy & Buddy as they come closer to you; when one of them get too close, get everyone to overdamage Lucy/Buddy a little and they will start retreating back to the middle of the area to begin their overcharge. During that time get everyone to rebalance their armor % again. Rinse and repeat until this is over.
Oh, now people are confident with 5 - 3 strat ?
You just described the normal method to do Lucy and Buddy, it's nothing new then. Might as well start a camp fire and blast some Rick Ashley
Is it even worth taking a status effect build for weasel/lucy/buddy anymore now? I put one together to try the shock trap just last week! xD
Our group couldn't get shock trap to work back then, mistimed the shutters, I suspect, so I was going to try it this week, but I hear it's been changed a lot.
@plush berry this is my tested and proven method (before TU10) to defeat Buddy and Lucy. Take note that all methods have a chance of failing, due to Lucy randomly not getting paralysed. Try testing it with this before ditching your build https://www.evernote.com/shard/s332/sh/0e0d59f0-9c13-4b7d-892e-083a9eff1bb2/0e65ad77aaba45ea34eddd33b4ac69c7
Ignore the rest about Overcharge since it no longer works
oh, that's nice, so who needs to have skill tier 6 tho?
shock trap thrower?
or even the BTSU wearer? since I read that got changed as well
Ran three raids yesterday . I run tier 6 jammer . Worked fine in drones except they fixed hardwired reset so I would highly recommend skilled on chest
Yes it’s harder because we can’t stack pulse . But overall wasn’t too bad
Yes it’s harder because we can’t stack pulse . But overall wasn’t too bad
@verbal mist I built it with status effects/skill haste like a cc build, thinking that'd prolong the cc, but I'm not quite sure if that's even the proper way
that's how our group did it last week, too, but we couldn't seem to separate them, either
@plush berry try 4 hw with skill damage and one wyvern
hardwired reset works fine, though skilled is a good safety net
Run healer hive and jammer
I use 4 hw with glass cannon but they nerfed hw so I switched to wyvern chest with skilled
30 seconds cd shouldn't really impact Jammer or Hive in anyway unless it's revive hive
It can be a bit stressing when everyone starts yelling drones
Problem with pulling buddy and Lucy is only one person needs to agro them . Most times everyone wants to shoot . Pull them in room then unload
thanks, that was probably it, there's no telling what will happen on any pug xD
True
nobody was quite sure how to even use the BTSUs, so I started looking into it a bit and they went and changed all of it again xD
since I have the BTSUs, I figured why not then
I pull buddy different than others . It’s just what your comfortable with
I have great status build . Worked a bunch but after update nope
ah!
I might even still have my artillery turret set, so that should fit, but not sure what the chest had, overwatch probably
skill dmg is only meant for 1 shot drones with jammer
It clears all drones
they're supposed to be one shot with jammer? 😮 I was always trying to clean them up with baker's after they got hit xzD
No
yup, pugs, I was on chongas, on crossbow duty, grenade duty, and gennie and ads and
and the drones, yes
might as well use the jammer with skill damage, the seeker mender runs away and hides half the time!
Your gen guy needs to pulse . He needs to run up to razor literally face staring at razor and pulse . My first pulse is from gen after I blow grill out I pulse then walk up to razor and listen . You can hear them flying out . Should clear all of them
I hate that seeker mender . Works great solo but runs off in group .
I guess I might as well do that part myself, since I usually have survivalist, does the pulse reach all of them? they seem a bit invulnerable right as they appear
I checked a lot of vids, but most of them didn't really go into detail on certain things, particularly the skill things, strangely! Thanks for the help! 🙂
@plush berry I really don't know, cause I can't login. Sorry dude
In the old method literally no one needs it, the non-overcharged shock traps shock for long enough if they work, and BTSU grants overcharge no matter what skill tier the user or everyone has
@hushed kiln They've been changed, "Changed functionality to no longer grant group/raid-wide overcharge unless you are skill tier 6" (https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthread.php/2236578-Title-Update-10-Patch-Notes]
dammit!!!!!!
Well that's very unfortunate. Excuse my french.
I'm just going through a very emotional time after my Hard Wired reviver tank got nerfed.
Oh sorry
After the update, most of the raids I have played are taking lot of time. It would take 30 mins now it takes 20 minutes itself in killing the boomer.
Can you do the raid if you are level 40 and a friend is level 30?
they can join your group and their base damage, health, armor and skill damage gets scaled up. their stat rolls (besides these) do not scale though.
also re: btsu, they fixed scanner pulse stacking in general, not just the btsu changes
Cool leak from Ubisoft ppl already done 80% of the new raid
@undone bane How so?
does pulse stack anymore, when using btsu ?
Nope @strange rose
@strange rose they dont stack at all, regardless of btsu
@strange rose "Fixed an issue that could cause the Weakness Exploit debuff to stack several times."
and they increased helath of the drones
Does the eagle bearer guarantee to drop after beating normal five times?
No. Out of curiosity where did you get that number from?
Quote: “The only guaranteed way to obtain the Eagle Bearer exotic is to beat the raid five times. Yeah... that may sound easy enough, but the raid is far more difficult than anything we've seen in The Division 2 before. Beating it five times will allow you to open the locked chest in the back of the plane after beating the final boss. You better get grinding!”
I see
I wonder if this old and referring to the loot box at the end and if originally you can only get 1 key per mission completion?
It's not true. It's RNG based drop. Less then 1% from each boss IF it's the first time you doing it on a said week. 10% from the box at the end (require 5 keys)
Thanks @vagrant wing
I wonder if this old and referring to the loot box at the end and if originally you can only get 1 key per mission completion?
@dull stag No it was never the case
np
TU10 really made it a lot harder. Couldn’t complete it with two clans today and they were super frustrated with the weak point buffs
It's not true. It's an RNG base drop. Less then 1% from each boss IF it's the first time you doing it on a said week. 10% from the box at the end (require 5 keys)
@vagrant wing "Less then 1% from each boss IF it's the first time you doing it on a said week." - this correlates more with reality now vs 1% from each boss
People starting to think Raid is a waste of time and effort and rather farm missions. Sucks for those who still want the eagle bearer
What are you trying to say @tender hollow ?
Sorry @dull stag but the raid is there for almost a year now. Most hardcore players either done it so much time they couldn't enjoy it anymore or quit the game all together
@vagrant wing yeah I understand. I got into the game only two months ago. So it sucks for those new to the game
People have been saying 1% drop chance for EB from the first bosses. But really something like "Less then 1% from each boss IF it's the first time you doing it on a said week." is more accurate
Well ppl got it wrong. You have a 1% chance for AN exotic drop (any exotic) from each boss in the raid. Sum the amount of exotics minus big horn and maybe the new ones like Coyote's mask and so on and you'll get less than 1% for each exotic (EB or not)
As for "only for the first time in a week" not sure where i picked it up but pretty sure it's true
Boomer seems harder than hell to kill went with a experienced crew and didn’t make it
It's frustrating for the first couple times... Team comm is key. All red builds will make things easier too
Yep 6 of our team had over a 100 clears and once we got him to half he it went downhill
DPS is the key. The more the better. Too many people running unbreakable is not good. https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/g9w0xj/baseline_dps_build_for_any_contentraid/
210 is max CHD for a rifle build.
I think he is just harder
oh we got 12% nerf to M1A / Bakers too and he may have more health like the drones
Yes but mine is still hitting well over 400
Yes I think that the speed running days are over for a little bit
Maybe it was becoming a little too easy
Anyone actually complete it since the TU10 update?
Not that I know of but I’m sure someone has
I've completed the raid. It's challenging, but with enough DPS, communication, and patience, it can be done.
Its not that different tbh
changes to the btsu overcharged pulse is lame, makes the raid way less fun
anyone wanna run?
I am in

Sorry if this isn't the right place for this but where do I go to find resources to start becoming raid ready?
By this i mean, i have no idea what damage/builds/utility i need to actually be wanted by groups
I've done the 1st raid before, but its been months since then and i'm actually just now returning to the game
Youtube
@empty quiver fuck it I'm gonna make a raid crash course
Give me like half an hour
@empty quiver Don't believe everything you are told on YouTube. There's lots of bad info and bad builds out there.
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s332/sh/88b22f4b-7a4e-4ee1-8e9a-5bb418ba99b6/dff56e9017dbc933516ab81cff4475bb
These are videos I have watched and strategies I have tested. These DO work.
@hushed kiln Thanks much, I'll check this out
So I have a couple questions, and I think I'll ask here so any other curious players might benefit
Is the mainbuild at the top your default and you switch accordingly? Like to a swet dreams for something else as needed?
Also with the situation of tanking or healing, is that specific to your team or encounter
And do you have any info on raid tanking specifically? TBH im surprised its a thing even minimally, I love tanking in games
So i switch my builds at every encounter. I also have one mainbuild which i can adjust if needed when carrying new players and things go wrong. TBH there is no real tank needed and there is really no use for a healer. If you want to be perfect prepared for this raid go for a skill dmg, pure dps, hs damage and a dronecontrol quick cooldown build
Hi all. first time in here. ls this the right channel to find people to do the raid with
@frosty osprey nope you want to go to #lfg-raid-pc
thks
Oh you're one xbox
PC
PC in the chat I said
oh than what was the one xbox comment about ?
It's called "lfg-raid-pc" so I don't know if xbox must look elsewhere
Do folks still raid regularly? I haven't completed either discovery or normal before. Wanna unlock blueprints.
And do you have any info on raid tanking specifically? TBH im surprised its a thing even minimally, I love tanking in games
@empty quiver It's very useful in the first 3 bosses and the in between. Here have my build https://www.evernote.com/l/AUw8oCCx_vFPUL9WE0FWWN-u03yQfLNTnj4/
Is it just me or has the razorback been shit after tu10? Grendadier are target locked it seems, during boomer its like a freakin guaranteed spawn with 2 additional yellow ads
Enemies are damage spunges again
@swift ledge nope. Just ran it, it's the same minus the benefit of the BTSU dmg. But wasn't any different imo
M1A damage nerf of 12%, drones in Razorback have more health. CC effects like shock has less duration. Cannot spam EMP pulse with HW anymore.
Anyone work out what cooldown is needed for the drones in RB? If you use HW x4 with backpack you can use feedback loop every 10 secs but its tricky to achieve if RB is many phases.
@tender hollow it depends how fast your team destroying the weakpoints. Under normal circumstances 12sec or lower is fine. For faster & exp teams it might not gonna cut it
@tender hollow only difference is change the pulse jammer build to technician and drop the bow. Techician skill dmg is multi
@next bobcat yeah might be the sacrifice that is required. aaaah
Switched to technician and 👍
Switched to technician and 👍
@next bobcat what is your cooldown for Jammer Pulse? I can get it down to 11.9 but could be better as my Chest peice isn't OP
Do people still run sherpa raids?
@next bobcat @vagrant wing Thnx for your advice. Need to try some things out. Would like to keep Overwatch if possible too.
Np bud gl
@hazy bear just go in the LFG and be honest about your skill level. You'll find someone. Good time to do it before the new raid drops and we all vanish lol
any videos bout div2 raid that i can watch to learn bout the raid mechanics?
Search on youtube maybe?
@silent blaze best way to learn is run Discovery to get the basics and join an LFG group willing to teach. Vids are a good starting point but there's so many they're often outdated or not what you're lookin for specifically
@silent blaze put together a decent DPS build and join an lfg group
thanks @next bobcat
Anyone have any tips on getting the foxes prayer kneecaps??
@random turtle farm Overlord targeted loot on challenging or heroic
Are tank builds not viable for the raid?
they are not worth running, they generally slow you down.
@hazy bear there's several ways to run a tank archetype in a raid successfully. But if you're asking, at this point you may be best to put together a DPS build first
they are not worth running, they generally slow you down.
@opal heron short answer - 1 less person doing damage in a what is a DPS check isn't ideal
pretty much
whats the difference between discovery mode and normal mode for raids?
@vagrant wing thanks
np
so does anyone know how much skill dmg / status effect for sure kills drones? I think I tested with around +60% skill dmg with t6 jammer and it wasnt enough
Afaik our teams said 70%-75% seems to be the sweet spot for now. @normal mirage
Hey I am new I just wondered where can I find group for a raid on PS4
@left pecan In #lfg-raid-console
@dapper gyro I will try that, thanks
SO i was just in a raid group and someone mentioned that the current raid is largely dps checks, but the new one will have more emphasis on coordination i guess? Anyone know where I can find more info on that?
Is it just me or does there never seem to be an overlord armaments main mission to farm? 🤔
Really trying to get the foxes prayer pads, game’s just against me haha
Do the areas then run kneepads @random turtle
@random turtle open world is far better chances and far less boring
Cheers balls mcdangly
@normal mirage the Technician dmg buff is multiplicative
@empty quiver there hasn't been any info yet outside of the teaser and what the devs want to say about it. We only have the leak of the raid journal, which doesn't tell that much. I don't know how he knew but for now it's hard to make assumptions on the next raid.
@hazy bear they are very useful for lower DPS groups who don't kill ads fast. I tend to run tank for the first 3 bosses, I will switch when I'm asked to but then people start to drop like flies
(Cause my tank gives armour with Perfect Vanguard)
But if you are with an experienced group don't bother with tank
@hushed kiln exactly what I meant. And on LFG groups you should prep for 1-2 not having the proper dmg/talents/gear
I kite Boomer with a tank-ish build with Vanguard and a restorer hive to help surviveability in random groups. Also tank 1-7 model with Richochet and the gang. Also tank-ish build for Buddy/Lucy to hold Buddy in place now that there is no BTSU burn for the pups anymore.
I actually have a clan here but most of them have tight schedules. They don't get much practice and go down easier than some random groups
With my clan I don't have to tank. But when someone new to raids is asking is it a viable build my answer is yes. Yes it is.
having 1 vanguard and or tardigrade is nice in raids (doesnt have to be tank builds, just the talents tbh).
Also having 1-2 people with opportunist talent for Boss 2 and 3 is really nice. also 1 with overwatch 😄
@icy hull agreed and that's the problem is "tank" has different meanings for everyone. For me tank is a positional term, if you're pulling out a shield and kiting/drawing damage from a boss... you're a tank. Even if you have 4 red DPS piece on imo
In mmo terms.
Tank = someone who can take excessive amounts of damage and protect the team.
Tanky = someone who can take an amount of damage but no where near the amount of a Tank.
Why do people lfg here? Can’t they read the title it’s raid discussions
that's one of the mysteries of the universe
The mods here really don't get paid enough to do this shit
@hushed kiln the mods get paid? Lol
I sure hope so
I hope they do get paid
@normal mirage after testing today, to one shot the drones you need ~82% skill dmg on your build + 10% skill dmg from the Technician spec. (as a stand alone if you have Demos in your group you can do it with ~62%)
@vagrant wing thanks for testing 🙂 I've seen other ppl do it with less skill damage and run Glass cannon with their jammer. I think glass cannon dmg is multiplicative
although your method is a lot safer haha
@tender hollow cool down between the waves should be 11 sec or lower (i don't know if it's even possible) and not 12 sec as i stated before.
@normal mirage after testing today, to one shot the drones you need 70% skill dmg on you build + 10% skill dmg from the Technician spec. (as a stand alone if you have Demos in your group you can do it with less skill dmg)
@vagrant wing does the +70% + tech spec include +10% from your SHD watch?
Yes @normal mirage Glass cannon is multiplicative but in that case you can't run skilled...
@tender hollow yes. Let me post my build stats:
10% from wyvern + 10% from 2 pieces Hana-U + 6*10% from the gear pieces minus ~10 (not all of my stats are maxed out) + whatever mod to increase dmg on my pulse + 8% from my watch
70% is not that hard to get at least, we can just get 4pc hw and roll the attribute to skill dmg 🙂
fyi on Discovery +85 survivalist including +10 from watch isnt enough. No Demolitionist in the raid. Someone said that the +12 technicial dam to drones was multiplicative
The 10% from the Tech spec is multiplicative - that's why
Btw @tender hollow The Demo need to be in your sub group afaik
+95 is enough (+85 not enough) in Discovery for survivalist including +10 from watch. No demolitionists.
imo Note tech build is the way to go otherwise cooldown high
What are you using for the chest talent?
What are you using for the chest talent?
@vagrant wing Efficient. Its my 2nd char
Alright. so i guess with Glass cannon you can drop 20% or so and spec these towards skill haste
You don't need glass cannon for the pulse build on razor if I read the string right.
Run technician and a standard 4 piece HW with skilled on the chest
Skill dmg on the 4 pieces, the watch buff and technician. You don't need any skill dmg on the chest if you don't have it.
You're welcome to try 🙂
let me know if it's working or not
As per @next bobcat, in Discovery +55 on gear and +10 on watch and +22 from tech spec is enough to take out the drones, but there was a Demolitionist in the group so not sure if required.
On my main that has Overwatch, my pulse cooldown is 12 secs, but if I had +12 skill haste on it instead of 0, the cooldown would be 11.4 secs, and my improvised holster only has 9.3% skill haste, so could get an extra 2.7% skill haste there
I have 11.7 cd and it's a bit sketchy if skilled doesn't proc. Don't forget that there's 2 sec charge for the pulse + 1 or so sec for human reaction time
@vagrant wing not sure I understand, are you using a HW set? What is your pulse build?
Nope. it's not HW
https://discordapp.com/channels/477210626742288384/578577872701095956/723670551876468867
read carefully ^^
other pieces are china
and the improve holster
Ok, to confirm this is for a pulse build on Razor?
Yes
You open to feedback?
Sure. Go ahead
Scratch that build.
Go 4 piece Hardwired. All skill dmg
Wyvern with skill dmg on chest
Btsu gloves
You dont need to worry about skill haste at all that way.
This build was created specifically to utilize a BP & chest talent combined with BTSU. Sorry, but i can't do that
Your first pulse should kill all the drones. By the second pulse if skilled doesnt proc, just drop your restorer hive (second skill) and your pulse is back
You don't have to continue, and no offence but i have slightly more exp then what you wrote. I created this build for a reason, 4 HW can't be integrated into it
All good didnt understand youre objective. If it's to beat razor it sounded far more difficult than it needs to be
THe build is all about opportunistic and BTSU. If you'll find a way to combined that with HW, i'll gladly hear it
Gotcha. Didnt know the context dont always have scroll up time lol.
No worries man... no offence taken
Lotsa folks strugglin with razor without BTSU stack figured thats what it was about
No... it's created after the patch to utilze BTSU on a full yellow build since the build doesn't have dmg output as it is
Yeah got that now. Makes sense
@vagrant wing not sure I understand, are you using a HW set? What is your pulse build?
@next bobcat HW Mask 12 skill haste, HW Backpack 12% skill haste, Wyvern Chest 10 skill dam 20 repair skills overwatch, Hana gloves 12 skill haste 10 skill dam, Improvised Holster 10 skill dam 9.3 skill haste (and 11.1 skill haste mod), HW kneepads 12 skill haste, technician spec
You don't have to continue, and no offence but i have slightly more exp then what you wrote. I created this build for a reason, 4 HW can't be integrated into it
@vagrant wing What are your Backpack and Chest talents? Just curious what the pros run
In a perfect world i'll have overwatch on my chest (using skilled currently cause i havn't found one yet). Opportunistic on the BP
The idea is - this is a support build with no dmg output, so in order to be useful (and do more then killing drones) you need to buff your team. Opportunistic is multiplicative BTW @tender hollow
^ so with overwatch and opportunistic its giving everyone on RZ, 12 +10 extra damage, so 22 x 8 = 176 extra damage
No. it's more then that
Overwatch is additive if i recall correctly
Opp is multiplicative
^ its like 2 extra people in the raid helping out
Havn't run the math. I'll have to trust you on that 🙂
something like that lol
EST timezone, what’s the best time to get a raid set up?
i gotcha
Anyone else haveing issues with weasl boss
which part of that boss fight are you having problems with?
