Tom Clancy's The Division 2

ECO_Mental

My build is coming together nicely I think...pretty simple really but I working on damage to elites since these are the problem lads.

+98% Damage to Elites
+25% damage when skills on cool down

Im using the demo specialist but not using LMGs anymore. I got sick of the time to reload so going with an AR and rifle load out. Got three decent AR's (ACR E, G36, AK) cant decide on which one is best ACR is pretty mean and the G36 as well.

Need to move my specialist to the survival one to get the AR +15%. Skills I'm using are pulse and chem launcher healer, purely because I can have skills on cool down nearly all the time to keep my 25% bonus and the chem healer keeps me alive.

Pretty good!

Dont forget you get 30% reload speed with sharpshooter specialization which is fantastic with LMG,add in the stability increase too and it might be worth taking that ahead of the 15% LMG damage.

P416 is the best AR. I say this without testing any of the others
There's two variants, I'd be happy with either
I use it on all three specialisations

That's what I am doing now. The sniper rifle is garbage, but that reload and stability buff is amazing for LMGs.
Rocking M60 as main and AR if I need even more accuracy.

By the way lads. Does 20% Regen perks work on Patient buff? Do they stack?
Another one is the Weapon Handling stat. What it actually does. Is it buff to accuracy and stability together?

I really hope they won't bump up GS on 25th when Raids are out. I finally hit GS500+ and working on actual build and recalibration. Don't want to go with whole rat race of GS hording again.

I think the regen works with patience but patience is so strong anyway I'm not sure.
Weapon handling does a little bit to stability, accuracy, ADS and reload.You don't really notice it. Slap unhinged on an LMG that reduces it by 35% and you'll see it then. In saying that unhinged is a must have almost on an LMG.

I was over my "everything should be dropping at 500 shtick" and then got a 499 merciless last night" Exotics should be dropping at 500. It's quite good on the sharpshooter mind you.

I picked up an F2000 (i think that's what it's called anyways) it doesn't have allegro, but it's around 850-900 rpm, so that's up on the 416, it's got a good high per bullet damage and the spread is a lot tighter than the 416 (I also think the range drop off might be better too).

If i get this gun with allegro, I think it'll be a better all round AR, worth keeping an eye on.

Does anyone know of they will increase GS again on 25th? I really hope not. Getting gear, then look for stats or telents you want at 500 gave me a breath of fresh air!

mossym

raid delayed until may, no release on the 25th

it's quite easy to get the gs up the tricky bit is getting the right talents, attributes, sets and mods. These kind of games raise the gs a lot. Div 1 did it on every major update so I'd expect it tbh

KilOit

Getting pretty bored now, my gear is almost perfect, almost every piece has 15% to elites and kneepads with patience total armor is 240k to go with unstoppable force. Weapon damage is 18.2k with P416, only thing i'm farming is higher damage AR. Finished the invasion event.
Still a few bits to do but i'd like a raid now, everything is a bit too easy now without going heroic :pac:

Far from it, bonus to stability,reload speed [both which are straight up DPS increase off the bat], its a fantastic specialization infact, offering viable builds for Assault Rifle builds aswell as rifle and marksman builds all of which a re viable builds.

For sheer bang for the buck the nade launcher minces everything compared to the .50cal and crossbow. I use an LMG so benefit from that too.

Would imagine the ultimate build has the LMG boost, The AR Boost, The nade launcher and fire nade. Which tbh seems fairly balanced if you in a squad sharing the boosts.

Dcully

For the individual weapon you get from specializations the nade launcher is by far the best but for perks and bonuses the sharpshooter is great.

I'd like to see what the new Minigun Specialisation offers.

Thoughts on the 515 GS in DZ? I dont really mind to be honest. Main forums are on fire though!

gimli2112

I understand why people are annoyed being forced to play a game mode they don't want to, it's a crappy practice. Doesn't bother me personally just means I have to embrace the darkness.

Just completed an heroic mission, it's a lot easier with three than two, a lot!

515 gear only drops in DZ.

Just built and did some basic testing on the Nemesis, real world testing not that relatively useless target-practice work too many youtube'rs rely on.
Bloody hell it completely outclasses the Marksman Special, the best exotic I've seen in terms of it's own function and it's holstered perk matching the intent of the weapon.

I recycled that rifle i got in the stronghold and the part didn't drop

ECO_Mental

If I get another f**king sniper rifle to drop for me I'm going to jack this game...nothing but m700's, hunting m44's etc etc....and I'm tripping over SIG 416's and other rifles!! All I want is a decent AR I have yet to see a P416. Every box I'm opening also seems to be a GS480 purple WTF....

If I can be guaranteed GS515 in the DZ then yeah I'll go in haven't touched it yet. Buy the way how the f**K are these people running GS505 etc. I have yet to get anything over 500? Is it from recalibrate the stats. I only ever move the talents and that doesn't do anything.

As you can see I'm a bit frustrated

Ive more or less just started this. Lvl 8. I had an issue last night where i couldn't pick up a component that i went for. I was able to loot the box it was in but the component itself just remained on the floor. Any ideas?

Go to the quarter master as start putting upgrade points into carrying capacity for items and materials.

Crafting mats take up a different inventory spot, they're not in your backpack with guns etc

Yep re-calibrating can bring a piece to 515 also. It would already have to be pretty high and you would need to be maxing it's only low level talent. Don't obsess on it though, the difference between a good 495+ and 515 might literally be something like 1-2% on the talent. Is it nice to have, sure....game changing?...nope.

Ok thanks ill have a look tonight. Any tips for a noob? I played a bit of the first one but never really got into it. This seems much improved. Atm im just scrapping any gear that is lower level to me so 5 6 and sevens are dismantled.
Is this right?
I see theres a vendor in the theatre but if its anything like Destiny ill never really buy anything from him.

As you move up the gear quality levels you'll need to spend more time balancing Talents with the level and base stats on the weapons. E.g. Blue has 1 Talent, Purple has 2, Gold has 3 . I'd only hold onto a blue as I moved up levels if it had a really great talent on there, and then usually maybe just one level. As you have more talents the choice gets more complex. But you can't really go wrong until probably about level 20. Just make sure not to sell or dismantle your last favourite until you've run with the new for a while, see if it really is more effective than the last in the way you play. On the flip side when you hit Level30 and World-tier-1 you will want to rapidly replace equipment with higher gear-scores as your loot is based on your current GS. So then it's kind've a race to world-tier-5 and GS 490+ .

Vendors are hit and miss, definitely check them as you will occasionally find some gems. End-game they're not very useful beyond basic selling. As you move up World-tiers on your Gear Score race they are temporarily useful in that when you move up you can immediately jump ahead a bit by buying higher GS equipment immediately, thereby making your subsequent items higher again.

After using it for a few more hours all I can say is get that **** fixed...now ...it's a fantastic weapon. Might be worth opening a support ticket.
The highest I've noticed hitting so far was 1.97 million for a headshot (With Nemesis and Unstoppable force active but not on my max marksman build either, +143% headshot dmg vs. +198%). Fully charged single headshot kill most of the time for open world named, hard bounty and Outpost Level 3 bosses. I haven't tested it on challenging yet.

So I finally bought the game at €48 on th psn sale.

I’ve only played an hour and half or so but seems easier than the beta, maybe because I’m doing stuff I’ve done once before but the enemies seem easier to kill or less aggressive or something.

Looking forward to seeing whats post beta.
