I have no trouble with any role in any raid
But you don't have to have the most optimal thing in the world to have success in a raid.
I highly doubt that.
Actually I'll delete that
That's not the point
This isn't a dick flexing contest.
But if you want the most optimal thing then PGC and Focus are your only options with Vigilance coyote's mask a classic M1A with rifleman and OOC and a fast hands MG5 or IWI Negev with Steady handed with DTA
IWI is better with GC and MG5 with Focus
And you’re right you don’t need a perfect meta build to do the raid. But for people who are new to the raid you know that when they jump into an LFG group they are going to get build checked and if their build isn’t up to scratch they may get kicked. I’m simply passing on advice to those people to help avoid that.
Says the guy who just posted his completions 😂
That's why I deleted it because I'm cordial and I would rather not
Hey if you really have 1500 iron horse completions then you clearly don’t need any help from people in here. But just keep in mind that there are also new raiders in here with very few or even zero completions. So recommending that they run a sub-par build isn’t really helping them on their raiding journey.
Well I was originally in here because I recommended obliterate as a starter talent and some guy started an argument, then you showed up.
Obliterate isn't a bad talent though is what I want people to understand. Obviously there is stuff that's better but it's still a good talent.
I’d agree it’s better than Unbreakable.
Exactly. People have come here from YouTubers like vendoom recommending protection from elites and unbreakable BS
Transitioning from Unbreakable to Glass Cannon for an unexperienced player is not easy.
Is that the guy who tires to get people to pay him to make their builds for them?
Yeah lol
He literally said a protection from elites build is the best Raid build in TD2
And it's all fun and games until that purple rusher from IH Boss 4 turns your brains to mush
Yeah I remember a post where he said he needs to set aside an hour or more to make your build for you. Must be a mechanic, normally they are the only ones who make a 2 minute job take over an hour.
Yeah, idk. He's just weird
Hello everyone. First time on discord.
looking for raid group to get EB. Can anyone help me out?
3x Ravenous, shame nobody wanted to join our raid run 
¯_(ツ)_/¯
If I’m not mistaken, the top Iron Horse completions is a little under 1300. Where did 1500 come from?
You can get a completion just from doing boss 4, sooo many people did that at the release of IH because they couldnt do the whole raid. So i dont really trust completion leader boards anyway.
Okay but regardless, the highest number of IH completions shown on the leaderboard is a little under 1300 by @gritty wadi so I’m wondering where 1500 completions from someone other than tin came from 😂
1300!double what’s on Xbox
They mentioned clears on both console AND pc, added together is 1500 ish total
Message was deleted since then
Still very highly unlikely
Are the leaderboards the same for the consoles? Or do they have their own separate leaderboards on Xbox/PlayStation?
I’m pretty sure it’s for platforms, the leaderboards
which tasks and roles in Iron Horse need a 100% Hazard Protection build?
I believe that would be tank
for speedrunning, but for regular lfg you probably don't need it
specifically which encounters, and which tank roles? because I know you don't need a haz tank for 4th boss key tank
I've been running the raid as DPS and medic, and I'm trying to branch out into haz tank
From what I've encountered in discovery 2nd and maybe 3rd encounters
ah so you haven't run the raid fully yet
Not on normal yet
isn't haz tank essential for reliably closing out second and third encounters?
@formal shuttle you need some versions of hzd pro for different encounters IF you're planning on speedrunning.
- 2nd boss: the person inside the forge has to be immune to fire
- 3rd boss: the person doing diagnostics has to be immune to poison
- Race against the train 5-6 ppl should be immune to ensnare
- 4th boss: the tank should be immune to shock if possible
that's stagger tank on 4th, right?
no key tank
What @vagrant wing said. If you are not speedrunning, you don't need 100% haz pro
There's only 1 tank when you doing speeds
weird, every time I run a pub Iron Horse we have a haz tank on 2nd and 3rd encounter
what part of 3rd's diagnostics spews poison?
immune to poison implies immune to every SE. That's why i wrote it
ah ok, I've never heard it described like that
so there are no instant-kill triggers on the central balconies? just strong status effects?
Regardless, no matter how much hzd pro you have you'll still take dmg from the fire in fire phase. No need to go higher than 96% hzd
i don't quite understand the question here sorry
it's been my experience that sometimes, having large hazard protection is not enough to avoid dying when the forge spews out fire/steam/electricity
and I was wondering if that's because the balconies become covered by an instant-kill trigger
so you can't just cheese the mechanics
as i said, Regardless of hzd pro you'll take dmg from the fire (and i think from the steam too). The shock will insta kill you no matter what
Anyone wanna ran Dh for eagle bearer?
@gusty pagoda wrong channel, go to #lfg-raid
ah ok, so the haz pro just reduces the fire and steam damage and lets you survive those phases?
No. the way hzd pro works is: it reduces the time you will be affected by it. It won't reduce the dmg - so no - you'll die without a healer. It's for:
- give you the chance to run through the steam/fire to get to the station and survive
- stay up there while the boss poison you
huh, I thought high enough hazard protection made you immune to status effects?
well, in general (in the open world) that's true. In the raid - not so much
Oh i forgot @formal shuttle some ppl still use the method of getting the control room window to break. These ppl will prolly want you to run either hzd pro/healer hzd pro (i'd argue that isn't necessary but hey who am i to say that)
pure healer is enough to survive the control room
thanks for the info
so haz prot is nerfed in the raid and some status effect damage, etc. always leaks through?
i agree. But some ppl don't see it that way. Yeah some status effects can't be countered. I know Macho did a vid with full tank hzd pro which takes no dmg in the 3rd encounter but i think they changed something since. It won't work anymore for some reason
the fire/steam/electricity on IH 3rd boss area is going to kill you no matter what build you have when the alarm is blaring for 4 times if you do not jump down in time; shortly after that is when hazard protection allows you to run through them without getting the effect even though you still take the damage, so hazard protection is useful there if you want to get up early after the alarm is done blaring for quite a bit, but existing effect is still ongoing up there.
also also the hzd pro will allow you to turn the valves during pressure phase without the usual delay
stagger tank is a meme role and not required.
Someone earlier said they had 1100 on PC and 400 on console or something like that.
You don’t actually need 100% for anything. For Boss 2 you need 91.4% burn resistance to be immune from fire. For Boss 3 and Foam Alley after it you need 91.4% burn resistance, 93.8% disorient resistance, 93.8% ensnare resistance and 86.0% shock resistance to be immune. But this is only immunity to the status affect itself, not the environmental damage that comes from it. This means you can run through fire and activate valves through steam, but they still damage you.
There is no poison status in Iron Horse.
is it now?
Boss 3 has oxidiser speakers but you don’t need to be immune to them.
i'll admit i don't do diagnostics often. But i'm psure you don't want to ruin your run by dying to poison. Also as i said - poison immunity implies every other immunities as well
I don’t think that’s correct. Stacking poison resistance edits to give you immunity to anything except poison. But in any event poison immunity is only 89.2% anyway.
that's not what meant. The numbers i have show you reach poison immunity at 96%. As for stacking poison resistance, i was under the impression there're no mods for it and you have to invest in hzd pro for it (correct me if i'm wrong here)
I’ve never actually tried stacking poison resistance so that may be correct. But it’s definitely 89.2% for poison resistance. I run diagnostics in our team I don’t use poison resistance.
again i used poison cause according to my numbers thats the highest threshold. Also i did get targeted once or twice by the boss while i was up there for whatever reason, so, as i see it, i wouldn't want to ruin a run due to death from poison
is it possible to get the eagle bearer or ravenous from after defeating the bosses besides the bonus crate ?
@quasi urchin yes, 1% chance on each boss the first time you loot them after a reset.
I mean you could just run 100% that way you don’t have to worry about it. But I like to also do DPS so I run mine a little different.
whatever works i guess. As i see it you can reach 97-98% hzd pro with a full red build. Your DPS gonna suffer no matter what, so in my eyes, investing a bit more into hzd to reach that 96% threshold is safer
Has anyone seen a change with razorback in DH and drone dmg with Pulse?
Whatever works. For boss three the most important thing is being able to get up on the tower early and being able to use the button and valves without being status affected. So as long as you can do that it’s a good build.
Change since TU11 or change in the past week or 2?
Last week
My clan has run a couple of raids and the pulse builds don't seem to kill all the drones. The first pulse doesn't kill all drones, so some need to be killed by dps before pulse cooldown
I haven’t noticed a change. I’d check and make sure something isn’t missing off the build like a skill damage mod or even a specialisation change. Is your drone killer using technician?
Build hasn't changed, it's been a few people. Not sure about the specialisation
We run alot of raids
Could just be bugged. Maybe drop the raid and start a fresh? I was going to ask if it could be a timing issue but if you guys do a lot of raids it’s probably not that.
I did a few dark hours raids in the last couple of hours and I didn’t notice anything different. Not on Xbox anyway
Well this is PC. First one we quit and next day we continues from checkpoint and did it using a different strat
We did the same with a fresh raid and same thing
^ you don't even need any hazard pro for boss 2 and 3. Boss 2 you can just cheese it with 10% hazard pro on your watch and run in when its time to do water. Boss 3, you can just go up the chain [i think] and stand on the edge until the fire/electricity/steam goes off then run to diagnostics. However lfg groups will 99% use a haz pro tank as its just quicker + easier and plus the tank can proc vanguard or tank stuff.
I’d be interested to see what the build is. I still run an old school drone build with overwatch to give the team some extra damage, but I know people use different ones now.
Ninja makes a good point. If your not speed running you don’t really need a hazard build. And if you’re running a tank then they would be the best person to run hazard protection if you need it.
If I remember correctly,you get weapon handling for staying in cover over time
So the reload time will be lower
->more time to keep the obliterate stacks
And,if you have to stuck with a laser pointer over a 5% chc laser,and spotter,how can that beat a famas or a police m4 on obliterate and max chc?
I mean,I’m no math expert,but I can clearly see that 15<25
And fast hands just lowers reload speeds by 80% at max stacks
And in raids,you just can’t really run out of targets
If I remember correctly,you get weapon handling for staying in cover over time
So the reload time will be lower
first time i'm hearing this. No offense but i suspect it's not true.
And,if you have to stuck with a laser pointer over a 5% chc laser,and spotter,how can that beat a famas or a police m4 on obliterate and max chc
It's only 5% you know. If that what makes the difference i feel like something is wrong with the build
I mean,I’m no math expert,but I can clearly see that 15<25
again Spotter is multiplicative while Obliterate is additive. Now, sure if you calculate obliterate as 25% no matter what the multiplication factor will be 1.5 while Spotter will give 1.43... something. However it doesn't work like that, so in my eyes 15% multiplicative dmg out right, no uptime or buildup is way way better
Does anyone know where to get the 5th key in dark hour?
Drops from Razorback itself every time you beat it
I went and tried to blow up the door for the i assumr my last key cause i never been in the room and i won't open
Its before lucy and buddy
Is there a specific way to open it?
i didn't understand what you said, sorry. Can you rephrase your sentence?
Ok so i got every key except for the one room where you have to throw a gernade into it to make it open
Everytime i throw the gernade it doesn't open the door
What grenade are you throwing?
The angle is tricky sometimes. Just try a few different angles and you’ll get it
Is there suppose to be a spark everyti.e you throw it?
So 15% per pulsed target?i don’t understand “multiplicative”
Oh I forgot to say it’s on gunner
My bad
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2w5LVoGMUg i highly suggest you watch this one @hardy shell
Thanks man
I’m pretty sure almost everyone can get to 50% Crit Chance without using any gear or weapon mods. You’d be giving up 5% Crit Damage but if your sitting over 180% that doesn’t matter.
"chc"
Hell no😂
@eager kite you have to throw a grenade in above the door . It’s a window so the grenade breaks the lock on the backside of the door
Hmm interesting... I’m pretty sure the only person with over 1000 clears on pc is Tin so I’m calling bs 😂
Guys when you run FI in control room 2nd boss, does the buff apply to your teammates or will it flicker on and off as you're taking dmg and healing in the CP room?
I thought FI buff applies so long as that individual is at full armor, not necessarily the healer at full armor
@twin ember Individual at max armour.
Sorry for newbie question, what's the "RV" stand for in the lfg-raid group?
raid voice. Should be followed with a number @frail bolt
Oh ok tyty
I had like 460 lvl 30 dh clears Xbox .
Not sure now . I think 17 mins and maybe 50 or so . And I think 60 ih
Not sure why some flex their numbers . I lfg sometimes and learn something almost every time even low level players
Agreed. When he said 1100 on PC and 400 on Xbox I wasn’t convinced. But I know some people farm 4th boss checkpoints over and over again to ruin the leaderboards so I suppose it’s possible.
Yeah I agree @tender hollow
It’s a shame really. Back at the beginning of Year 1 Dark Hours you didn’t get a completion unless you ran the raid from start to finish. Being able to compete on the completion leaderboard and the speed run leaderboard kept a lot of people playing the game. Didn’t matter what time of day it was, it was always easy to find a dark hours LFG post. I’d love to know why they changed it.
im sure you could back then it wasn't something people knew about so it wasnt really exploited compared to today
I thought playing more than 3 hours a day is bad until I saw that 5 hours first DH run
How long did it take for whoever it was to complete IH first?
i wanna say it was just over 8 but i cant fully remember. I remember the 2nd and 3rd bosses each took several hours
No it wasn’t possible at the beginning. If you joined a raid on the 4th boss you didn’t get a completion. Some people were reluctant to join a raid mid way through because they wanted the completion. Even if you joined on boomer you didn’t get a completion.
Depends. With or without the secret spreadsheet? 😆
Hey boss,just 1 thing.Isnt this a bit outdated since it’s TU8?
It doesn't matter. The basics still stands. The way the dmg has been calculated hasn't changed since @hardy shell
The additive vs multiplicative damage calculation has been around since Division 1. Obviously there’s more talents and some different attributes so the equation may look a little different, but the basic method for calculating damage is the same.
The m1a has been nerfed in terms of dmg now right?Or just myth?
It did get a bit of a nerf, but it’s still the best
To be clear @hardy shell i gave you that link so you'll be able to understand what multiplicative vs additive means. I didn't want you to create that build or anything else
😮
@hardy shell There are 3 types of damage multipliers:
- Increase weapon damage (this will only increase your base weapon damage).
- Increase total weapon damage (total weapon damage = the damage number that you see when you inspect your build. Total weapon damage is base weapon damage + additional damage that you get from red core attributes and brand/gear set bonuses.
- Amplify damage (the best multiplier, this is calculated from the final damage output taking into account crit damage, head shot damage, talents etc and then multiplying it at the end).
Example:
Base weapon damage of M1A is about 200k.
Total weapon damage of M1A on an all red meta build is about 500k.
But, actually M1A on a red dps build with vigilance, fox prayer knee pads and contractor gloves hits about 2 million crit headshot.
You can easily see the huge difference between adding 10% weapon damage (10% of 200k is 20k), 10% total weapon damage (10% of 500k is 50k) and 10% amplified damage (10% of 2 million is 200k).
Woah
@hardy shell you're welcome
what?! no no no. it doesn't work like that at all. Again if you guys have doubts watch that vid i posted The fomula looks like that:
final_dmg = base_dmg * (1 + wpn_dmg + wpn_type_dmg) * (1 + HSD + CHD) * (1 + talent_wpn_dmg_(additive) + talent_wpn_dmg_(additive)) * (1 + talent_wpn_dmg_(multiplicative)) * (1 + talent_wpn_dmg_(multiplicative)) * (1 + DTA) * (1 + DTH) *(1+ OOC)
where:
base_dmg is the number shows when you enable it withing weapons->option->show base dmg (it's rounded. If you want the actual number - there's a spreadsheet somewhere...)
wpn_dmg is the % on your gear like your core attributes for example or the buff from W&H
wpn_type_dmg is the % you gain from specializations or for example 10% AR dmg from fenris gear brand
talent_wpn_dmg_(additive) any talent (chest/bp) that says 'increase' in it's description
talent_wpn_dmg_(multiplicative) any talent (chest/bp) that says 'amplified' in it's description.
now if we go back to the original discussion:
Obliterate & vigilance will give (1 + talent_wpn_dmg_(additive) + talent_wpn_dmg_(additive)) == ( 1 + 0.25 + 0.25) == 1.5 multiplier
Spotter & vigilance (1 + talent_wpn_dmg_(additive) + talent_wpn_dmg_(additive)) * (1 + talent_wpn_dmg_(multiplicative)) == (1 + 0.25) * (1 + 0.15) ~ 1.47
@hardy shell && @lament dragon
actually now that i read your msg couple times - it does works like that. My mistake @lament dragon sorry about that
Well fuck,it’s even more confusing now
I need a moment
But even with the math you showed,15>1.47?
I kinda get the math,but not the logic?
The logic based around the fact that you're not getting that 1.5 multiplier with obliterate out right. First there's a build up time (which is a factor of your RPM && missed shots % && chc && whatever function they're using to determine the chc for the next shot [if there's any]). Second even if you want to you can't keep that 25% at all time because of it's "uptime" (Now here we're going into the realm of probability and i'm the first to admit that i'm suck at it so i won't even try). However it's again dependent on the factors we mentioned so... i would guess that on average you get about 20% from Obliterate (i can't back that claim tho) so based on the above - i prefer spotter whenever i can. If however i'm tied to certain Specialization and can't use Focus/GC then sure - i'll take Obliterate but for me it's at the end of the list
So you’re saying that you can’t achieve 1.5 continuously,but with 1.47 you are guaranteed to have that up as long as you’re aiming the scopes?
in a nutshell - yes
Also can you post your YT channel link?im really interested in what you post,with all these maths and stuff
the vid isn't mine. It's from a well known youtuber with a big community if i'm not mistaken. I don't own that vid nor claim to own it. However the numbers checks out (with like 10K difference ish)
It is odd . I run lfg during week sometimes and rarely see spotter . I’ve been running it for a while and have had newbs question it many times
The pulse alone helps . The dmg is great but it’s nice to highlight the enemies
is IH hard?
yes and no, depends entirely on your groups ability.
Hey guys I've completed foundry and future projects ... And the 2 following gear projects ... now need to collect regulus parts... Do these drop at random from bosses or should they all just drop the next full ih raid I run? As I've just completed the raid again yet no parts dropped from bosses ?
they all drop from the next full ih raid you run
Does it need to be fresh run for the week maybe?
maybe it has to be next week, i don't know i just think
Most ppl use all gold for DPS Providence grupo walker etc
They drop from bosses for 1st kill of week.@light zephyr
ah
Ahh great thx @icy hull
yes it is.
sick
wrong channel, please use the LFG raid one. @silver wharf
It does
👍 thx
I’ve never done the raid I want the eagle bearer anyone willing to help
Anyone doing Iron Horse today
Never done it but I can help
Anyone doing the raid on ps4, I've never done any of the raids
PSA - Beware of Luis_Figo_07. He joined our raid and purposely shot incorrect boxes on boss two of IH. Did it three runs in a row.
Hate to drag someone in the dirt but we are positive he was doing it.
Can corroborate. Said they did not have mic and was new to Iron Horse...... 😕
is it dark hours or iron horse for the eagle barer ar drop? thx
awesome thxx!
Clan ran dh last night all 8 had skill builds . We made it to buddy and Lucy and had to switch to dps. Kinda fun
we usually do our silly build raids on IH. Skill builds work surprisingly well
too bad there's not a report system for toxicity
Dh is easy , but on final fight stage 4 you need good skill player who disable drones
dont have to be good, just skilled with the right Hard wire build and knows when to alternative between the crossbow and emp
can EB drop after we done weekly raid? i did mine yesterday but no EB, i was planning to farm DH if the EB can drop eventho i finished the weekly.
As long as you got keys to open the final chest, it can drop from there.
but the keys still drop at end boss eventho i done weekly?
Razorback should drop a key every completion
thanks for the info
Do u need DLC to make the raids ?
@blissful thorn Nope
How long is the iron horse raid? Is it difficult?
Depends entirely on your group. Can be a complete cake walk and take like ~30 mins or could be very hard and take hours.
@icy hull ok thanks!!
A regular lfg run without wipes will usually take 50 mins to an hour
Need 4 for dark hours raid if anyone wants in
where to get ironworks base materials?
It’s part of the weekly loot drops on IH bosses.
They only drop on the first clear of each boss per a week.
Need 5 for iron horse
np lemme just go out and buy a PS4 brb 1.5h
@ocean ibex This channel is for discussions, for lfg use #lfg-raid-console
Quick question. Looking to do a DH, but exactly how difficult is this raid
Sorry i meant iron horse not dark hour
#td2-raid-discussions message @grand tide
that's a good preview of the raid, helped me a lot when I was looking for some guides
Well at least i know how to do the furnace section
His raid seems very easy just mechcanically heavy. Mechanics are my strong suit so it shouldnt take long for me to learn this
yea it's not hard once you get it
@worn cargo check that youtube link I posted right above
oh cool bet
when you fight Lucy and Buddy,which one do you shoot first in priority?
you mean 'which one you kill first'? it doesn't really matter which one you shoot first especially in a good group
i did remember a guy telling me to shoot them in order so that they dont heal or do that overcharge thing
huh? no idea then
like Adler posted if your team has dps it doesn't matter. if your team's dps is not so good, kill lucy first, as buddy goes into overcharge (armor repairs faster) if lucy dies before him
im gonna do my (actual) first raid
last time i quitted at razorback after,like,15 wipes
just because we keep forgetting the wipe
also im running a 95%-ish dps build
replaced the last providence piece for a grupo cuz its godrolled
PGC cuz i dont have a all-red providence
perfect vigilance for 25% dmg buff
and a godrolled walker cuz contractors doesnt seem to be my cup of tea
I think why contractor's is good because the 8% is multiplicative? where as most things are additive
that's correct
funny how the guy invited to a raid is the wt5 guy with no dlc
take it with caution tho. It's equal roughly to 20% additive dmg (on my build it'll change for different builds) however - it's only good against enemies with armor ofc
so i guess contractor is best for the final parts where alot of yellow chumps just spawns?
It's best in slot in my opinion period. However many ppl won't agree with me here 🙂
I will say that tho - on the raids where most of the adds does have armor it's definitely best in slot
this is when you kick him from the raid for wasting everyone else's time lol
big oof
3 guys just suddenly left midway
so we're stuck with boomer
and have to scrap the run
😦
@vagrant wing You dont like running 2 piece walker harris for the 5%
is that a question?
Correct
2 pcs WH are still no match to the contractor's + let's say Grupo (or even WH 🙂 ). I personally don't have any PvE dmg builds without the contractors. I do however has a build with both (Contractor's & WH)
fair, Ive been weighing up whether contracts +2pc walker harris, coyotes and fox prayers
whether its better of swap out contracts for a piece of providence etc
yeah you lose 3% dmg to armour or 8% depending how you look at it but yeah
hey guys question....if your on the last step of regulus (exotic components from bosses/chest) and you have already completed the raid this week....do you have to wait until reset to get the pieces to drop or can you run it again?
I was told you had to wait. Had all my stuff done last week then first raid this week I got regulus
ok because the bosses still drop loot on additional runs so i thought maybe.....
You can get 1 piece by opening the chest at the end without waiting. You'll have to wait for next week of the other 4
ok thanks
whats the shield build used for on DH?
Nothing
can someone help me withe iron horse ?
If anyone is planning on doing a fresh is raid on ps4 dm me.
havent done DH raid since before the expansion came out. Looking to do level 40 raid, is it still the same? What build is the best for it and do you need a lot of health when you get to the plane part and having to take out the chungas?
its still basically the same as always
ok so having a good dps build then
ya that hasn't changed, really if anything the 2nd boss is "slightly" easier since you dont need to build a +health build anymore
ah you answered what I wanted to know about the health. Good to know, thanks
Is there text chat option in voice channels ?
@rugged hawk No, voice channels are for voice.
Hmmm yes people die when they die
Is Iron Horse ×××1000 easier if everyone is talking and cooperating
^ no its not easier than Dark Hours
DH is simple mechanics and DPS checks, IH is harder mechanics and "less" dps checks
“Very simple mechanics”
Yeah if only everyone did their research beforehand
There was this one dude who keeps luring Boomer around and no actually turning his back to the minigun
And when everyone’s down,he still tries to 1v1 boomer
With his bulwark ass build
I'm not comparing it to DH. I'm comparing playing IH with randoms with no comms vs. randoms with comms
Something that I found particular annoying about playing with randoms was the only person able to activate the autocannon is the one who picks up the key, yet in Main Missions you can have one teammate pick up a key (for example the basement key on AHM) and that one key is shared among all agents. Did they make collecting keys on IH different just to add to the complexity?
Raids are generally made to be more mechanically challenging than the average missions.
I can argue that some of the locks there are electrical locks,so they just get the key code and upload it to their watch
But yeah,weird
You want complexity?just copy paste the Kenly Chapel part when you have to turn the valves to open the water line
Iron Horse is easy if everyone knows the mechanics.... we did it last night with nothing but Scorpio's... 8 people running blue scorpio builds for the meme's
Yes
If anyone can take me through DH to try for EB then dm me
if anyone want to do iron horse join raid voice 2
i opened the raid loot box (end of mission) yesterday does this mean i have to wait till monday or friday to reopen it?
i thinmk so
to end of week monday?
not suere
@bright abyss You can open it as many times as you want, during the week, as long as you have 5 keys.
If your question is regarding raid reset day, that's on Tuesday.
thanks 😄
to get the project from iron horse do you have too do the wole raid or just kill the last boss?
Try the lfg channels bud
can we still farm razorback for keys? or do we need do the DH raid from the start for the guarantee drop?
You kill razorback n u get 1 key
where is the information on ravenous drop rate?
is it 10% for first day of reset week?
is the drop rate better on tuesdays?
*from the final crate
so let say i have the checkpoint of razorback with my other char, and then use my main char to finish razorback, the key will still drop for my main right?
Your character in the raid gets the key
Which raid do you think would be the best one to learn and complete first?
DH is is easier ... less mechanics ... just have a build for it ... 3 pc prov, coyote mask, fox prayer knees, 1 grupo, m1a with boomerang or ranger talent
Just a recommendation for a new to DH player...
IH has far more mechanics and most roles are specific builds
The biggest mechanics check is Williams. He's a royal pain and even has a wipe mechanic AFTER he dies.
Indeed!
I've met people doing IH as first raid. For my suprise, we made it til 3rd boss. Although as Sixpix says, DH is far more easier, as you dont really need more than DPS and 1 tech guy.
As you finish razorback, and razorback only, you get 1 key, always
Once you make up with a good team, you could go to 1 cache/Day with no problems at all 😁
I have no idea how to raid on this game. I’m willing to learn after I beat the warlord campaign
LF raid group did DH till razorback on normal (know the mechanics and roles) havent touched IH yet but did story with a group of russian dudes
IH is a bit more complex, also depending on the role, dps is always the easiest role to play, tank and healer have a lot to do in IH
@flint iris 👆
So is the etiquette in the LFG raid channel just join the RV group when they ask for more?
Yep
Iron horse Key run?
Better luck if you use #lfg-raid-pc
cheers
Anyone willing to take 2 noobs through DH?
Hi guys i search a groups for playing raid DH
use the lfg channel
Okay thanks
What does "RV10" mean? (As seen in #lfg-raid-pc)
short for "raid voice 10"
Ooooo, okay, thanks!
And if someone writes "exp" behind the lfg, that would mean "experienced" with the run, right?
Yes
@viscid fossil Use #lfg-raid-pc
Anyone know a good build for dunking off with Morozova
Does the EB drop on discovery
no
I thought so been trying know over 4 months trying to get it nearly 50 runs
Is it Wright some one told me to reset on normal create I've tried that but I can't get 8 player's any tips how to get in normal raid DH
@viscid kelp go to #lfg-raid-pc wait for someone to start / say they need people for a DH raid, jump in the voice channel, explain it's your first time but you've done Discovery.
EB will not drop from Discovery, no matter if you reset on Normal a switch to Discovery. Just like the keys won't appear in the boxes and the last box will not be accessible. Whoever told you that is wrong or just wanted to troll you.
Ok the funny thing is I've got all the keys even the last boss raserback and then going up to the back ramp to open the box it's Always closed its telling me to wait another week for the next boss drop it's annoying and every day I'm doing DH raid having the luck that it might drop no such luck
It's like playing the lottery this game 😩 😩 😩 💩 💩
It doesn't open for Discovery. Hence why you can't get the EB in Discovery.
I'm not sure why you're hoping for something to drop in Discovery, that is never going to drop in Discovery ... ever. No matter how many times you run it.
you cant even get to the box in discovery
the Cargo plane 's cargo crate thing won't open, and Molly's door remains closed
just do it in normal with a team, it is not "that" hard
its hard if you need to be carried 😄
I hope someone can answer this question. We've been trying IH for a long time, but we got stuck in the second boss.
Everytime the time passes, our tank's health gets lower everytime and we don't know how to avoid that
Is there something like a trick or it depends on the time..?
what you mean there is a tank
and i think your talking about summit
Okay xD
Have you tried 4 piece foundry bullwark + 100% Burn resist ?
Thats what we're rocking now
if your doing the strat to prevent teh glass break, you need to have 2 people
burn resist doesn't prevent the overheat damage, only the "on fire damage"
Health is only a Problem with the armor breaking on the tank Player.
Try Adrenalin rush and vanguard as talents. This will give extra survivability to the Player Inside. Keepers in mind that Player needs to Reset the heat stacks if the group is somewhat Slow with shooting the Codes.
they should be near full reseting anytime hes doing the room wipe explosion
its easier with 2 cycling in due to the overheat
but personally i prefer the glass break method, healing in the control room is simple
I have seen health drop when still having armor before. It hasn’t happened in a while though.
Yeah had that before where it ignores my armor and just goes for the health right away, think it's just another feature
That's whats happening... 😅
I believe it happen when the codes take too long
hello hello, do i have to wait to another weekly reset after i got the regulus project or can i just do it right away?
Parts won't drop if you already cleared the bosses.
okey ty
Still getting tank's health lower in fieser
Can that be caused cuz a wrong code?
A single one I mean
yo who were the ones that said it wasn't the first time I got eagle bearer since the components didn't drop
https://imgur.com/a/CiMnSjW
How long are y’all taking to shoot the codes
hey when you get the regulus quest, can you just redo the raid even if youve done it for the parts, or does it have to be fresh?
Parts drop on your first weekly clear of each boss and final crate. If you ran it already this week, you have to wait for weekly reset.
thats so scuuufffed lol
It does have a bit of a time gate to it.
yea, i feel like the chest and bps along with this huge quest for an essentially ornamental revolver was dumb
from raid exclusive
with no targeted drops
Finding the chests and backpacks from raid is probably the hardest. Just ask if anyone doesn’t need it, if they could drop it.
Easist way is for the tank to enter the forge for 1 second to trigger the encounter, then come out. From the corner of the A airlock, when the door is open, you can read the codes above B airlock. You don't need to go in. After you read the code, go out and help with ads on A. Repeat 4 more times shooting a rocket at the canon when you need to.
[stuff happens with the cauldron and its poured eventually on the canon. help kill ads on A in the meantime].
Get them to open A and from the airlock send in an assault drone to attack the boss take aggro and trigger a wipe. Help with ads. After the wipe happens get the guy in the control room to let you in and run to the water gun and shoot it at the canon when its ready. Your job is done.
Ideally for this "easy way" the tank also has Vanguard, which you should try to proc as often as you can, or Tardigrade.
We'll try that. Thanks, Ninja !
can anyone share the sniper build to 1hit chungas in IH boss 4? cant seem to find the right one anywhere online. TIA!
@brave heath: Aces mask and holster, chainkiller chest, airaldi backpack with vigilance, contractors and sawyers kneepads. All Rolls chc and chd, chc 35% rest chd
You need at least 2 snipers!
why chc and chd and not shd? Is there a reason for that? @warm ibex
thanks very much! stupid question tho, you mean 2 guys running this build, or 2 mm rifles as primary or secondary? im just thinking that if a group is running 2 snipers, that means either left or right side will lack dps for door spawns
im guessing its because sometimes you wont hit em in the head, and you want your hits to count even if it isnt a headshot
Chc and chd because you net to get your stacks for headhunter. For the chainkiller you just need 150% hsd which you get from the nemesis.
@brave heath if you dont hit the head you loose your stacks!!
You need 2 sniper because you cant oneshot them atm. First sniper breakes the helmet (the one with more stacks) second one kills!
If you plan on insta killing the heavies there is no one on the spawn doors! NEVER!! You need the adds to keep up your stacks! Noone is killing the adds as long as they are lets say not in the middle of distance.
Most of the adds should be killed by snipers!
Yea but you do not need more. Why more?
Thing is, you only need 150% HSD to get the full Benefit from chainkiller.
Also chd does scale alot better than HSD even if you aim for the head. You can also rely on teammates for buffing chc and chd. That is not possible for HSD
the more HSD you have - the faster you fill your stacks with a kill. Generally speaking, i personally prefer HSD on my HH build
gotcha. now i hope i get the nemesis blueprint next week. its been well over a month and grand washington isnt invaded ffs
You may have missed it, it's deffo been invaded within the past month.
nah man. ive had the other parts completed aside from the blueprint 2 weeks ago. and 3weeks before that is when i started questing it, never had it invaded ever since.
@brave heath @outer lark @warm ibex @muted horizon @tender hollow @vagrant wing Before you can hit the chunga's head you need to first break his helmet, that doesn't count as a head, counts as armour like the rest of the body. That's the reason why you don't need head shot damage and crit hit damage is better. That's also why you need two people, one to break the helmet, the other to kill.
If you've got 2 ppl, why not have one as a standard DPS to break the helmet and the 2nd as a Sniper to hit the head?
Because maybe one has head hunter buff one time, the other one doesn't or vice versa.
Even at a full 60% CHC, you're still gonna need luck to hit a crit Headshot.
this is relying a lot on luck.
You don't need a crit to break the helmet. You need head hunter buff.
then why the crit in the first place?
Because headshot damage is useless, since he doesn't have a head.
If you're taking up 1/4 of the raid team just for this job, why not just kill the heavies another way?
Better ask the people that's getting sub 20 minutes. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe they're wrong and you are right.
Okay you're one of those people, I'm done here.
I'm not, you're the one that apparently know better when other people has tried it all and have come to this conclusion.
I was asking a question, and you responded with "well you don't know better than me".
I disagree. I was talking about the stacks gauge. The more HSD you have, the fewer adds you need to kill in order to fill it up. It has nothing to do with the helmet
Thats what Whiz_FD and me was saying
Nop, I answered "Because headshot damage is useless, since he doesn't have a head." Which was a direct answer to the question "then why the crit in the first place?"
Anyway, if all you want to do is kill the heavies, why not just use another method to do it?
I'm just curious why you'd advocate for taking an MMR build with under half the standard HSD.
Cause it fun, fast (when done right) and takes skill. There're multiple ways to kill a heavy - you're right. This strat is more speedrun oriented
Thank you for giving an answer that wasn't throwing a glass against the wall.
Again, because for that specific encounter, where the job of those two guys is to kill the Chungas as soon as the door opens, before they drop to the floor. That's the way to do it.
It's just for that specific thing. Not for open world, not for missions. Just that job.
Does anyone use the Survivalist Tree in a standard speedy team?
Yes, when you can apply a status to the boss and that buffs the team's damage.
Every speedrun team uses survivalist! Its basic for the healer except morozova
Anyhow the whole chc/hsd debate was way off course. If you're running that build and you're hitting that 30M mark there's no need to put chd on top of that
Thoughts on using the crossbow as a heavy killer instead?
Current teams use it as well (as non - healer)
It's slower. But works.
I mean by hitting the chest, which pops the plate off, then you can do direct health damage.
basically the same as shooting them up the butt.
The detonation time doesn't make it fast enough for him to not drop to the floor.
well not hitting the chest exactly, more like the lower chest/above the belt area.
The whole idea behind that build is to kill the heavy before he jumps off the pipe. Crossbow makes it hard, as does Rav + M1A. MMR is the fastest
@vagrant wing yea but then its getting to complicated to explain. My team also uses a dps with survivalist for boss 2
Reply to survivalist
I feel like there is a better way, but it's eluding me right now.
The idea behind the two snipers is for the chunga to die as soon as the door opens, before they jump from those large "pipes". Then, if the whole team is at the back, behind the tank, the key will drop on the closest player, the tank. So he can insert it in the Avenger as soon as possible.
This jumps swipes phases and makes the encounter just go faster.
There is no faster way! Check youtube for the speeds
Stack HSD, proc full headhunter stacks, land your shot on chunga's head. What's so difficult to understand?
You're more than welcome to try and find out 🙂
Before you do tho (if you're actually curious about it) you mind as well watch some speedruns vids just to get the feel of it)
YES! Ben's on my side 😉
#td2-raid-discussions message
We just discussed this part
It's not rocket science. -.-
I prefer to do my own testing, but thanks for the advice.
Kind of
i wasn't suggesting to take it for granted. I'm all for testing, but as one who's new to this concept (i assume) i suggest to watch a vid just to get a first impression about the speed and the entire goal
Not new to the concept. Used to be in the top 10 for speedruns on Warframe's Trials.
god I miss those.
not speedrun concept... nvm
I know lol, just yanking your chain.
@muted horizon before you go testing, know that HSD and CHD are in the same multiplier category.
praying for a crit != landing a headshot
Not exactly new to all this, but thank you for the advice.
its the easiest way to kill the chunga efficiently at a distance, issue with crossbow is its aye random hit at aye distance. the helmet is around 20mil.
My HH build is rolled for headshot damage not crit for final boss on IH
yup hsd is more reliable and consistent, especially if you need to kill the chunga without stacks after the helmet is broken
We also have 2 ppl on HH in case one doesn’t have stacks and a third player backup snipes with focus
Consistency is key, you really on HH stacks to crack helmet not crit
Just mentioning this to clear up any confusion 😁
Lets agree that hh is fastest method. As long as you have stacks it doesnt matter if hsd or chd. Both work! With pros and cons on each strat
Hey man I just work here part time
For those chatting about using HH on 4th boss for speed running, here's my thoughts on it. Using HH on boss 4 is my mind the most efficient way of doing boss 4. Period. No matter what you're doing (normal vs faraday). As long as you have a couple guys that can hit headshots, it's going to be your fastest method of: A clearing ads, and B killing the chungas. This solves all of your problems on boss 4 except shooting rockets, which can be left to the other 6 people in the raid (except the tank who should be doing keys). It's actually insane the difference 2 good HH's can make when doing boss 4. Even in LFG's, just get everyone to stand in the back and let the HH's do their job. If ads start to get to the back of the map, it's perfectly fine for other people to shoot them, but as I've played the HH role for a long time now, it's A LOT easier if people DON'T shoot the ads unless they are going to kill you.
When 4 man boss 4 goes smoother than LFG runs cuz 2 HH 👀
Answers to previous questions:
Crossbow does not detonate quick enough to be able to kill the chunga consistently before he drops. There's also a door barrier on the train that creates an immunity period for the chunga to not get hit by projectiles. This means you have to wait till the chunga is out of the train and running before you can actually tag him with the crossbow
Ravenous + M1A is a perfectly viable strategy for killing the chungas, although extremely more difficult than the double HH method, it is doable and our friends over on console that don't have as much ability to HH have shown us that. Although, if you are trying to get times close to the top (meaning sub 21 and lower) I don't think you will be able to do it because the chungas have to die very very quickly to be able to catch all of the cycles of the gun in the back. If you aren't insta killing the chungas the second that door opens, you will be too slow and lose about 35 to 40 seconds every time you miss a cycle of the gun.
As for HSD vs CHD on your HH build, i've found that there is a comfortable mix between the two as yes, the chunga helmet does NOT accept HSD, but when the helmet is off, obviously HSD will help. The mix that I think is the best is having just enough HSD to be able to kill the chunga with his helmet off, once you have that, spec the rest into CHD to help with breaking the helmet in case no one has stacks. It's actually insane the amount of times having CHD on my build has affected being able to break his helmet when no one has stacks, and because I'm wearing the Coyote's Mask, I'm also most likely giving myself 10 or 25% CHC as well.
Although, cocky and a tad bit arrogant, Astro is right LOL. There is a reason some 4 man IH's have better boss 4's than LFG's
Woah man, it’s only joke
lol
how much damage do you need to do to 1 shot the shield adds with regulus on IH?
In all seriousness though it was a statement made to justify the point of HH being the best strat for boss 4
@coral oxide I'm not actually sure, but I can tell you that running The Sacrifice, Punch Drunk, Vigi, and Dodge City Gunslinger is the play there, You can kill them with like have stacks from the holster
just wondering if i need to do all of that, or just get away with punch drunk + holster
If you want consistency then you should run sacrifice IMO
well, idk what exactly you're doing, but for us, speedrunning, it just makes a lot of sense to wear all of that because we're insta killing everything out of doors with regulus and grenades
And if you're looking for my opinion on builds, well, I just simply don't believe in hybrid builds. Putting a few blue pieces on your build is going to heavily affect your DPS, but in return give you maybe a couple milliseconds longer to stay alive. The pros and cons are just not balanced enough, you're losing way too much damage for not enough armor (or time alive) for it to be worth it
my normal build is cc + chd, just wondering if anyone knew a number so i could play with the shooting range and see how much of a dedicated set i need to put together (with more headshot damage and other talents besides gunslinger)
Wait, are you running gunslinger on your chest? or do you mean the holster
holster
yeah, good. Honestly the sacrifice plus the holster should be enough, just make sure you have full gunslinger stacks when you take the shot. I just think punch drunk would help with a lot of damage against the boss/ads as well, plus be an added bonus. Also vigilance makes a big difference so I would definitely be running that as well
I don't know off the top of my head, but is gunslinger holster based off of total weapon damage?
cuz if so, make sure you max out weapon damage to get every little bit of multiplication there
ya know, if you're missing 10% total weapon damage, multiply that by 1000% and you're actually missing a huge chunk
it depends actually. I think i tested it a while back but i might be wrong. The explosion from your HSD depends on your dmg, what might kill the red add (usually in the middle where most ppl shot) might not kill the other 2. Hence the pulse and such, but also that 20% HSD from the mask
I'm thinking @vagrant wing is right on the spot there. It's been so long since I've tested it, plus it's being jumbled around with the hundreds of other things we've tested haha
I know for a fact the regulus explosion is based off weapon damage, and that's why I'm thinking the gunslinger holster is so important because I think that multiplies your total weapon damage by 1000 at full stacks
just like headhunter, it's based off of total weapon damage and that's why it's extremely important to max out weapon before you start worrying about maxing HSD
10% of 1000% = 100% you dummy
100% more damage... that's what I'm referring to. That's a huge chunk of damage lol
gunslinger holser is 1000% weapon damage at full stacks. if you're missing 10% weapon damage on your build, you're missing a lot of damage because of the 1000% multiplier
Ben, don't make me take you back to highschool math class...
I'll do it, I will lol
@dusky bolt
High school math class, you say
AJ, you can't even add 1+2
LOL
says the guy that isn't understanding what I'm saying above...
Actually, I didn't bother reading anything you typed out. I just looked for numbers.
wtf lol
im asian, what did you expect?
so basically just disregard anything @dusky bolt has said
2x dps players can use shrapnel traps and they must get overcharge and throw them at the right moment when npc are not immune, 1x can easy take 2shields npc but not 100% sure he will kill the 3rd, soo its safer 2x shrapnel traps
i can do 17million damage with my slapped together regulus build, is that enough?
Some guy was harassing me and is still harassing raid members, what should i do
you can Block them
How hard is it to learn the raids? I'm not a new player, just haven't been able to do them yet.
Not really at all, just make sure you have a good DPS build ready to go and then google how each encounter works in Dark Hours.
Then once you're ready to find a team, let them know that you're brand new to it and most will be happy to teach you. Just listen to the host and do what they say.
Ah okay, cause I have the builds, my clan just isn't active anymore and they used to run them weekly. Thanks thought. 🙂
Okay.
I got back in after a year and a half of not touching the game after being frustrated with the raid
Operation Dark Hours.
So.
My build was a headshot critical chance build.
With a rifle.
Do I have to change it up and go for a more damage to elites build for the raid?
after 1.5 years? yeah. A lot has changed since
Alright.
I forgot to say, there's a very helpful guide in the pin comments over at #td2-build-advice thanks to some ppl here. There's a build section there. You might want to check it out
Thanks man.
Bad News @sick abyss ...there is no damage to elites anymore😉
Woah.
That's been a thing since Division 1.
So... What takes its place?
Nothing. There're no more talents on every gear piece. Attributes now rolls with different values etc etc
Yep
Our Raid got 4 Ravenous at the last boss. Most I've seen drop at one time ever.
My gear score last time I was on was 500. Level was 30. Was there any changes to max gear score and level?
^ I think it goes up to 515 for level 30s now. If you get the expansion, you can go up to level 40.
Ikr, that was awesome 😁
I just realized Fiesel looks like a wrapped burrito in a microwave
The spicy and hot Mexican ones
I have get Ravenouz at my first IH raid, and members of clan was pissed out, becuase I keep it.. why are people so full of hate, lol....
I don’t say shit especially if it’s my first time getting any new exotic
yeah I'm new to div2, not raid ready yet, but how existent is the sherpa system?
Discovery mode doesn’t offer the raid exclusive items but is a tamed down version to help you learn the raids
Personally I won’t pug for raids, but I answer as many back up calls that I can for any other content...
so lfg for raid endgame doesn't exist and you should join a clan?
if you just look one channel below...
what i mean is that the lfg community is bad and it'd be a better choice to join a pve clan?
so how geared do you have to be to do raids and not be an anchor?
At least 50 chc and 150 at the low end. (full weapon dps build of course)
50chc 150+chd all red.
Easiest gear that can you get there while losing some stats: Negotiators Dilenma
Preferably: 3 Piece Providence, 1 Grupo Sombra, Fox’s Prayer, Coyote
crits? thats the meta?
Well for DH it’s basic a DPS check but Iron Horse can a bit...annoying
for a starter I would run a dps build for the raids, until you learn a specific position. Like the person who runs drones in razorback
yup ^^
Do keys expire at the week reset?
Nope
So I did DH and got 4 keys
But i dropped it before finishing Razorback
Do I lose the 4 keys or I get to keep them?
You keep them you can carry up to 15keys for DH and IH
Anyone running IH?
#lfg-raid-ps4
Nice
@spring sinew still willing to run iron horse
Sure
@tender hollow I don’t have a anyone to run atm so we’ll have to gather people. I’m still learning all the dynamics
I usually do ad control
We are with 6 already u have done it before iron horse
@spring sinew can u send me a screenshot of ur build
Which boss
Would a skill build be viable in Iron Horse? Its a build I clear legendary missions with
you could, but it might be slow for certain positions
What about Hunter's Fury?
How do I know what a raid is and how to access one
^ Besides the healer(s), there are better builds than skill builds. I used to run a skill build with turret + heal hive downstairs on boss 2, and maybe 50% of teams used to run a status effects build on boss 3, but really having the extra dps player is better.
You can run one for a laugh / challenge, but thats a different thing.
@pearl dune "Raids" are long, challenging missions that require 8 people (two teams of four) and are filled with tough enemies, puzzle mechanics, and unique rewards such as exotic weapons and exclusive gearsets. They can be compared to the Incursions from Division 1, but are about twice as long and more difficult. There are currently two raids in The Division 2 - Dark Hours (which released before the Warlords Of New York DLC) and Iron Horse (which released after). You can access raids from the DC map, look for the two yellow icons with the figure-eight symbol on the left, above and below Roosevelt Island.
@formal shuttle thx!
No problem, let me know if you have any more questions
Can someone explain the limits on keys and resets? Like, is there only a certain amount of raid clears that you can do per week to unlock the final chest?
Final chest can be opened as long as you have 5 keys.
You can get 5 keys on your first clear of the week, after that - you only get 1 key from beating the last encounter. You can't hold more than 15 keys of each raid at a time
you can hold more keys
oh, so if you want to open another chest after the first one, you need to clear the raid 6 times in total?
Keys reset every Tuesday at 1000 UTC iirc
- Thanks. a typo
You can just do the last encounter 5 more times
There isn't a way to 'select' the encounter after you clear it though, you just look for people with that checkpoint, right?
Yep
well that depends IH you can do the last boss many times because the chest is unlimited try so you can farm the last boss. Then DH you have to wait for a week
if you open the chest
That's not true
it was always this way
hmmm
there was a short period of time where the key wouldn't drop from the last encounter but you could reset the key boxes every time. But that's long gone
I wish the raid dropped optimisation materials. If you do the Summit, Missions or CP4 you get stuff, but when you do a raid we dont
well DH is Black tusk. While IH is True Sons. For both will gives weps and gear like hostler, gloves, etc.
wish but
we cant get what we want
LFG DH aiming to get Eagle Bearer
looking for 7 players have done ih. i need some gear to my healer build and some exotic weapons also.
Remind to use the lfg channels when you’re looking for people to raid with. #lfg-raid-pc for Pc, #lfg-raid-console for PS4, and #578577794561474571 for Xbox.
Just got my first eagle bearer
Yay
Now all I need is a time machine to go back when it was actually good
Still is good. Just better in DZ.
So how does the gear set drop thing work in raid?
Do you only get specific drop once a week?
I just got lvl30 and want to pick a specialist that would be especially good in raids. Anyone got any ideas?
Demo
Thanks
Totally
How viable would a skill build be during DH?
its not
ok
Maybe a bit more viable in IH?
Does anyone have a sort of "Iron Horse Raid Guide for Dummies"? I've been watching guide after guide on Youtube, but man this raid seems extremely complicated, especially encounter 2. Was wondering if anyone had a guide that explains it simply enough
Lol have you seen encounter 3?
That’s even more messed up
I have not. That's why I need a raid guide 😅
Just sent you a Imgur link
Its quite weird how the last encounter is easier than 2 and 3
how difficult is IH
“Fuck you that’s why”hard type of
Like no joke,really if you don’t have a mic or don’t coordinate well with your team
you can do most raids without a mic
Did you?
what happens if you poison feiser to death
What is the Hazard Protect % to have immunity to everything? Is 95.2% enough or do I need to optimize a bit more
96% i want to say, but 100% is hunter immunity so your shield doesnt drop
@toxic orchid oh didn't know about the hunter immunity. but will optimize to 96% at least. Ty.
disrupt is the highest, think its like 95.8-9?
How?
scorpio
you need 96 to block 3rd boss foam and 100 to block shock from zova
@lunar hull Thanks. I'm at 96 now on haz dps. Tuesday after maintenance will most probably optimise to 100, because why not.
aight
so zova has a unique mechanic then for her shock, shock is much lower; i wanna say 91 normally
That’s gonna take some time
i know
Like,a lot
1 third of the armor bar?
health
Hmm
i was considering trying discovery
Maybe 90 minutes and not counting the mechanics yet?
it can be quicker on discovery for sure
Oh right,I don’t remember all of the mechanics
How to stop his wipe?
The gas thing?
Future initiative set chest and backpack are raid exclusive
Does that mean only on normal or both difficultys ?
is that a boss drop or you need some boxes to open with keys ?
so, let me ask, for the Ravenous + dodge city + d50 build, that d50 need to have pistol dmg (obviously), headshot dmg and optimist with only 1 round in clip for the max damage right ?
Dtooc
ah i see, thanks
What builds do people run for raids? Ive been doing 3 empress, 2 hana 1 wyvern skill build for the other content havent tried to do a raid yet
No need for optimist really. You can do it just fine without it
Standard DPS would be a good start. Head over to #td2-build-advice and look at the pinned comments
For DH mostly dps, maybe a tank at 2nd boss depends on the team you can do that without tank and a jammer build for razorback at the end so you dont waste time with drones
For IH again mostly dps, a healer at 2nd boss and 3rd boss, a tank build for 2nd boss, 3rd boss (not really needed) and 4th boss (2 tanks needed here), maybe some hazard protection build if you wanna go fast to get the 4th key and that's kinda it i think
If you have a good dps build you should be fine for both raids, there should be other guys who can take the roles of the other builds needed
Also please do not run a dps build with sacrifice, you can do that but you need to be a god when it comes to shooting from cover and not getting hit coz u will die like instantly
U should play a dps with unbreakable
Ive only been playing for about a week, only have a skill build. Farming for dps now though
Any groups helping to get eagle bearer?
You can also run focus or obliterate on your chest @torpid dagger
Never use dps with unbreakable
youd be impressed by the incompetence of healers
I have neverdps with unbreakable why because you will loss out on more dmg by using something like focus or obliterate
youd be impressed by the incompetence of healers
sir youd be surprised sir
Use something like focus or obliterate you get more dmg
I am not a sir.
i call everyone sir
Okay dude
okay sir
Save your drama.
lel im just saying if you have a healer who cant heal then you better run unbreakable
or run some form of AoK
Yeah and if someone is running tardigrade the unbreakable talent is pointless.
not since the tardi buff can wear out
People can run what they want.
and that only applies to iron horse, not dark hours
also you have to remember you are judging someone for the talents they use and are now saying people can run what they want 🤔
And you are annoying as fuck. Have a nice day I aint about to argue with you dude.
tbf you did start it but ok
tardigrade has a 45sc cool down unbreakable has a 60sc cool down
that give me 10seconds to heal my self
they can take down unbreakable in less then that
if someone is runing tardigrade then unbreakable will not work since tardigrade act like unbreakable
AoK not good in a raid
sir i have 200 DH clears and 130 IH clears
i think i know what works and what doesnt lol
and ngl AoK works great w/o a healer
Who cares
esme literally nobody asked you to join in
Um its a public discord lol
go "not argue" like you said you would
Or how about your try being a nice person lol
i am
No your rude.
just not to ppl like you lmfao
people who immediately get toxic towards me after i say the same sentence twice
yeah cause its annoying we heard ya the first time ffs
how about you try being a nice person lol
I am nice just not to you lol
Lets both cut it out, yea?
ok sir
Keep insults to DMs if you wanna get feisty.
will do sir
saying you have this number of clears dose not work when you can farm the last boss on IH and it will show has a clear you can use what every talents they want to that works for them
except ive never last boss farmed sir
i was talking in general about it i did not say no ones name
Lmao
Whats the drop percentage for the revonous?
Damn
Until they screw up so hard people will kick them out
They have to learn somehow.
Try bringing a skill build in ih
You will feel either useless or the dps will do the work faster
@hardy shell i dont think she was talking about skills build
I know
But I’m trying to explain that you can’t just run what you want in raids
Especially ih,where roles are a thing
very much so
Is there anyway to farm for Eagle Bearer? Searching around the webs, but can’t find conclusive info. The bosses don’t seem to drop any loot after the weekly run, but can you get getting keys? Or do you hop from group to group hoping for a share?
Its RNG and you need to run DH raid on normal
Some people will drop it for you.
Its also good to run with others that already have it.
keep RB checkpoint on a 2nd character and farm keys
0.1 from boss*
1 for every exotic other than the raid exotic
where did you 0.1 from
Tbh if i get a chest piece that has any of those 3 talents to roll with like cc/cd im just going to rock with that lol
I was going to try to copy this guys dps build for the raids, we shall see how it works out. But, as it turns out... farming for a coyote mask since its an exotic... sucks to do lol spent all day and didnt get one
where did you get 1 from sir
its on reddit and i think when the raid came out the dev said it to
I’m pretty sure it’s around 1% as well
10% from the chest, 1% (along with every other exotic except Bighorn, Eagle Bearer, and Regulus) from any raid boss
only one got it from boss drop
it comes down to RNG
"Can drop from the final boss at Jefferson Trade Center 'Coyote'
1% on normal
3% on hard
5% on challenging
7% on heroic - Targeted loot
- Exotic caches
- End of mission reward
- Any raid boss on characters first clear of the week"
Huh
that was for grizz but I misread lol
anyone have a boss 4 checkpoint on either raid I can grab?
why I keep getting checkpoint runs on iron horse matchmaking?
just wanna run fresh 😦
I need IH players rn
you can manually run it fresh by talking to the guy at the begining of the raid
If you’re matchmaking in game that that’s discovery mode
Which you cannot get keys, exclusives gearsets, or exotics from
its extremely low chance to drop from a boss. it might even be 1% for an exotic to drop from a boss on the first run on that character that week, and since there are ~20 exotics, the drop rate is ~1% / 20.
it still comes down to RNG i do not see where you get -1%
so like ive done 300-400 discovery DH and its never dropped for me from a boss
it dose not drop in discovery DH
which raid drop future initiative backpack and chest?
that would be IH
thanks!
yo razorback always drops 1 key
what build should I am for for DH as a beginner? I heard crits are meta so I'm trying to get gear with high chance/damage values- any specific sets I should be farming for/weapons I should be looking after?
pretty sure EB can't drop from bosses unless you've first gotten it from the crate
that's not true
It never drops from bosses,only from raid crates
when is the reset?
tomorrow. 0900 CET if i'm not mistaken
About 19 hours, assuming it's the same time as normal.
hey guys, ive got the project for the regulus last week, do i need to wait until tmr for the reset or can i do a run now to get the parts for it?
False
Yes has to be weakly run
ok thx
Can anyone help me to learn Iron Horse? I have crit build, tank scorpio build, bulwark tank support build, healer build.
I will be ready to play after 20min from now on.
What's your CHC and CHD on that crit build?
@muted horizon give me a min please.
@muted horizon honey badger= 54% chc, 156% chd. MP5A2 60% chc, 156 chd
And what's your crit build?
How easy is it to find people willing to take 3 people who haven't done DH?
Easier if you have some basic grasp of the raid, run discovery mode to get the idea, granted you don’t get the drops and it’s much easier, but the basics are there and will help you a great deal...also as DH is not as mechanical as IH, a good dps build is also a great start.
I would not suggest a discovery at all. People go in there with the dumbest builds and some of the mechanics are missing. I would get a good group that is willing to help you. If you want to learn I would be glad to find a group and help you out @twilit mirage
Dammit your PS4 never mind lol
Unfortunately yes, pug has its issues, ie stupid builds...but getting someone to carry 3 never done it at all? ...yikes
With the right amount of DPS it can be done.
True, but now you have to teach them a solid dps build and then the raid too ...lol bless you for having so much patience!
Haha i actually like helping others with the raids. I know what it was like to be starting out. Like hell i was pretty bad starting out lol
Omg my first I was so scared I was going to screw up...i was the only noob...but o had great guidance and I didn’t die or screw up!!
Haha right I was terrified of the raids like OMG i screw up I know im getting blamed lmao
Soooo true
Its one of the reasons I'm doing it with 2 of my mates. None of us have done a Div 2 raid before. Plus it means i can blame them if something goes wrong.
Haha @twilit mirage smart thinking
Thankfully the others were kind and helped explain before each phase....” ok you stand here and do this and please call out if it gets too heavy”
There are decent people willing to help in here but then there are those that arent. If you get a good group willing to teach your lucky.
Yeah, i know what to do in each encounter and how the mechanics work, its performing them thats the issue.
Most of the elitist have moved to IH so it’s not as bad as early days...but that doesn’t mean everyone is nice or helpful
Think im in 3 different Div 2 serves so would just put a post out on them all.
Wouldn't expect them to be.
I know someone on PS4 that would be willing to help if you want their name i can DM it to you
Good leadership means everything though
Yeah that would be helpful. But would they be happy helping 3 people including me?
Oh yeah she has an insane amount of patience.
Would be very helpful if so. Is she on Ps4 though?
Yes she has PS4 and 5 as well as PC.
Your awesome @sacred stone
@sacred stone I agree.
Thanks guys just trying to spread some love and make the community better. We are all having an insane time right now and could use new friends. We are all stuck in the current world situation together. If i can brighten someone's day its a win for me! >3
That is wholesome..
Hi! Is it possible to avoid Morozovas' missiles under the tunel?
I think you mean the 4 cannons, we figured out that there's a 45 second timer on them when the first one is destroyed, so if you initially take all of them down to half health, then take out 2, your timer on those 2 will start. 15 seconds after taking those 2 down the second RPG ads spawn and you'll be down to 30 seconds to take the remaining 2 down and damage Morizova. That way you'll have a good 20 seconds or so without the cannon shells.
My bad, I didn't explain myself
In the moment Morozova goes to the cannon
You must get under the tunnel, yeah?
In that moment we get the bombs INSIDE the tunnel, so we get killed everytime
Those bombs aren't the yellow wipe mechanic, those are the 4 smaller cannons on either side of the bigger Earth Shaker in the middle
They'll continue firing if they're not taken down right before Morizova's wipe mechanic
Hm.. I get it I think
So we must take the 4 cannons down everytime before getting under the tunnel?
There are teams that just ignore them and heal through the damage in cover, but it's safer to take them out imo
Alternatively you can delay your entrance to the tunnel until the last second (it takes some time to use to)
Hmm.. we'll try that
Teammates are saying that the "thing" that kills us are the rocketeers, could be it?
I mean, the guys that drop the rockets, cuz they respawn at the same moment we get under the tunel, so they boom our ass' up
either wait for them before you dmg Morozova or just suppress them as they spawn
good luck
can you still get the Regulus parts if you have already done the raid this week?
Nope, has to be fresh weekly run
ok thanks!
Does anyone have morozova checkpoint that i could get ? Thank you.
can anyone tell me how the raids actually work
and what gear you most commonly get from them
also how hard they are!! thanks
most use a DPS build
Raid are a set of tasks that must be completed as a team. Different raids drop different gear sets and exotics. They arent hard, but having a reliable team with decent builds helps a lot.
can you do them as often as you want or are they a time locked thing
raids are 8 player pve activities. Each raid has 4 bosses. There are 5 keys you can get to open a chest at the end. The exotic for Dark Hours is an AR called Eagle Bearer, The exotics for Iron horse are a pistol named Regulus and a rifle named Ravenous. Iron Horse is significanlt more complicated that Dark Hours.
and theres 2 different raids isnt there?
im new to all this late game content hence the questions
No stress bud
you can run then has much has you want to you just get keys one a week
This is a better answer than mine
thanks heaps that helps my understand a bit better hahaah
The most basic build you'll need is a damage dealing build. Then once you understand and master different roles, you can start playing with different builds in different sections.
what are the different types of raids
i heard someone say discovery or something
or is it just the different difficulty's?
Discovery doesnt drop raid loot its just for learning the mechanics, very low difficulty.
Youll learn more doing normal with a good group who can teach, they can give you smaller roles until youre more confident, most groups wont mind taking in a newbie
Yeah 4 times a week
you'll have to take me through some
Yeah man, no stress
I've run DH a few times now as DPS. Got my EB last night, so big hype. But I can't help but feel awkward when we get to RB and people ask who has crossbow builds
Is 4HW, Tardigrade, fill a good start? And how do I go about getting crossbow ammo before RB to avoid needing a wipe?
Run your DPS build with crossbow, you’ll get ammo throughout.
If you’re using the drone killer, gotta run 4 hw, wyvern with skilled, btsu/Hana u gloves
Before jumping out to Razorback, to change your specialization weapon you could leave the group and head back to the White House then get invited back into the raid group. To get specialization ammo doesn't everyone wipe before jumping out to Razorback too?
or you can just have the right spec before if you dont wanna waste time wiping
i mean, having the spec on before and ready to go sounds easier but ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I run DPS with crossbow until razor, then switch to drone killer with crossbow and I keep all special ammo
hey uh new to the game but whats a raid
scroll up a bit @lilac crescent , it was explained very recently (or just google, there are much more detailed explanations than people will type in here)
what do you run for drone killer? I just like being helpful for runs 🙂
Gear wise? 4 HW, Wyvern chest with kinetic momentum, BTSU gloves
Can anyone remember exactly what tier the pulse needs to be at (if you've got the Skill Damage from Technician active) ? For drone killing that is.
I just always have it at tier 6, to be safe.
I do know there's a definite tier that kills them below that, but for the life of me it's been so long since I've run the final boss that I can't remember.
I’m not sure
If they ever come back to Div2, I'll check and post a build somewhere for it. I remember it made the final encounter trivial.
Can the jammer pulse even be boosted by tech hive?
Thresholds (according to my testing) are:
90% skill dmg (talents included)
below 12 s cooldown (chilled run! if you have pistol builds in the group this might be too tight. 8-6 seconds would be better in this case)
Skill tier 6 ofc
huh, ta.
no
i want to get the EB, what's the most efficient way?
play raids?
if you want too... if you already know you need to play the raids pick the way you see as 'fun'. It's subjective
I need a eb also@tender hollow
f the EB def. not worth it imo.
Tf you talking bout
I bet next raid is Riker themed
is anyone able to start a raid? when i go to the raid menu i can't select either raid
I hope hyena bro
ok what is this thing with people telling they play destiny raids. Is it supposed to help in IH or DH
it might help with just raiding in general
Keyword "might".
arent destiny raids like 5-7 hours? I was watching a stream, and the leader was saying its going to be 5 hrs if we are lucky.
Nah, thats probably a day 1 raid/team that doesnt know what they are doing.
Need 1 for DH razor back cp
@fading knot This channel is for discussions, use #lfg-raid-console
thats like division raids when they first came out
they were 9 hours too
but now we all know the mechanics and get them under a hour
yeah worlds first raids in destiny were 10 hours minimum, now all of them are an hour or less
the only way they are above 2 hours is if you are teaching 5 other people and theyre terrible
yeas, earl, it might be something or it might be nohing. That was really helpfull 
If they raided before, and they mention it, maybe they are trying to say they can work together as a team and can communicate....and the keyword is might because there is no guarantee......
raid dark hours raid voice 01
i feel like everyone in this just wants quick raids and no one is willing to teach
Wrong channel, please use the LFG one.
khaled
how does a sniper build do in a raid?
it depends on which raid and which part of the raid
Snipers: ok for add control in some sections but not as generally useful as DPS (eg for bosses). Specific exception for the speedrun approach to Morozova.
(also, for me at least, if you get a bit flustered and start missing shots then sniper becomes entirely useless - with regular DPS you'll at least still be doing some damage)
Not true, it’s a hell of a lot more than that
