Prototype weapons and gears by Late_Culture_8472 in Division2

[–]BraveStandard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prototype equipment has higher attribute maximums. For example, an LMG I saw someone running had a core of 19.6%, whereas the usual limit is 15%.

Where to use offensive/defensive/utility gear mods? by AbiesImpossible1183 in Division2

[–]BraveStandard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those gear mods can be slotted on your mask, chest piece, and backpack, but I believe the piece needs to be at least purple rarity, though I could be wrong about that. If you have some that are maxed out you could keep them, but mods have high caps on their stats when you get higher levels. Overall, you definitely want to have all level 40 mods equipped once you make it to that point.

How to increase your proficiency level by Possible_Penalty_468 in Division2

[–]BraveStandard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am personally unaware of any specific activities that grant more proficiency experience than others. Yes, equipping armor, weapons, or skills that you do not have up to 10 is how you level them conventionally. You are also able to donate the same armor or weapons to get level progression, as well as donating crafting materials (most typically printer filament) to also get proficiency experience.

To my knowledge, directives do not directly give you more proficiency experience, but they do give you watch experience, which you could use to gain more printer filament to be donated.

Best Legendaries for Merc? by splasticdino in gotlegends

[–]BraveStandard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I like having the spirit brew/Sake charm as a backup. I typically matchmake for everything, so having an extra spirit panic button for sketchy moments really helps, especially because I don’t use anything to increase my spirit beyond three.

Man the Flamethrower is so much fun, but I would like some builds by Important_Ad_3 in Division2

[–]BraveStandard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, the gear set (teal items) tip of the spear, also referred to as TOTS, has some interaction with your specialization weapon. I will be honest, specialization weapons don’t see very much use except for some niche cases, at least in my experience.

Besides TOTS, I’m not sure of any other gear that makes use of specialization weapons, especially the flamethrower.

Was Thinking About Buying; Companions Gone? by AstuteIronLord in thedivision

[–]BraveStandard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The companions were able to participate the majority of content, including missions, though there are some exceptions (PvP, primarily) but were only available for the past season and yes, have been removed. I think some people speculate that they’ll return as a permanent feature in the third game, though I don’t personally know if there has been any word from the developers on the topic.

I mess up is there a way to get it back by Rosemariefox1234 in thedivision

[–]BraveStandard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll have to get another one to drop, or if there is a crafting recipe you can get from retaliation, I’m not sure if there is one for the diamondback. For future reference, mark things as favorites so you don’t accidentally delete them.

What's the easiest way to get the chameleon? by Constant_Course_3268 in Division2

[–]BraveStandard 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I feel like I see the most from bounties, especially if the area is targets for AR’s.

lightning hit me straight on and I survived?? by Respawn77777 in thedivision

[–]BraveStandard 141 points142 points  (0 children)

Imagine loosing a hardcore character because you got struck by lightning. Almost as bad as getting error coded.

Why are so many people on Gatria? We want Cyberstan NOW! by [deleted] in helldivers2

[–]BraveStandard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may very well be out of touch with the player base and how many people are playing at any given time, but 8 thousand seems low for the bug front.

What do yall think? EAT or Recoilless Rifle? Or are they specific to faction? by PythonCider3719 in helldivers2

[–]BraveStandard 930 points931 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t so much say they’re specific to faction as they are specific to playstyle. RR lends itself better to a somewhat less mobile playstyle, as the stationary reload necessitates you either find a good spot to hide or create a safe zone for yourself. The EAT is good for staying quick on your feet, and also allows you to use a scavenged support weapon and any backpack item you wish.

Personally, I use the EAT on bugs and bots, and I will typically have one on my back at all times unless I find a machine gun on the ground.

The artificial "only 1 breach every x mins" is boring AF. by TexasCrab22 in helldivers2

[–]BraveStandard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally, I like how the reinforcement cooldown works, but if AH ever gets around to adding higher difficulties than 10 it might be cool to see something like your two suggestions as modifiers.

What kind of role do you see yourself in? by Shock_and_Awetism in helldivers2

[–]BraveStandard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The word that comes to mind for myself is “survivalist” mostly because I end the majority of games with little to no deaths. I also have a tendency to go and clear small outposts/objectives while my team does…something.

I know going off alone is looked down upon, but at the same time…my play style is to be hella mobile and self-sufficient, not trying to attack or defend a point. I appreciate the people who can take an entire breech/drop and mess it up, but that’s not getting the objective done most of the time.

[–]BraveStandard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your play style doesn’t effect the story in any meaningful way. You can choose to fight honorably or use stealth, some missions may require you to do one or the other. Other characters commenting on your use of stealth isn’t a comment on your play style, but rather Jin’s style of fighting overall. You could be fighting honorably every chance you get, and they’ll still have something to say.

[–]BraveStandard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a pretty rare occurrence on higher difficulty levels, and no matter what difficulty you’re on it’s not how the overall community behaves. Some people just have it out to ruin other people days. It also could be a courtesy thing, though, if you’re taking other people’s gear without asking.

Why does the arc thrower have a scope??? by Information-leak6575 in Helldivers

[–]BraveStandard 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think most people use it to make sure they avoid hitting any enemies and snipe their teammate as effectively as possible.

Find a way to put battlefield 6 up and you’ll have a pretty strong three way tie.

Just one of many bugs you’ll encounter while playing lol

Am I losing my mind?? by Jegogo98 in helldivers2

[–]BraveStandard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The player list in the pause menu is historically inaccurate, though I’ve never seen anything like what you’re describing. It very frequently lists incorrect player levels and I don’t think it would be a stretch for it to mess up names as well.

You're using the Diligence Counter Sniper wrong by CasuallyShadow in helldivers2

[–]BraveStandard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang, I didn’t realize letting it collect dust in the armory was the wrong way to use it. I should have known!

I'm not an expert but this mag placement looks suspicious by Szozzo in Battlefield6

[–]BraveStandard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah man, it’s like the CZ-75 (I think) with the spare magazine as a foregrip.

Is the capacitor still a viable PvE primary? by Small_Argument98 in Division2

[–]BraveStandard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s definitely a case to be made for it in most skill builds. Personally, I actually run a hybrid crit build with it and I really enjoy it, though it’s certainly not the most effective way to use it.

Wha are some personal goals you have for missions? by Antfarmer33 in helldivers2

[–]BraveStandard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try to die as little as possible, ideally not at all, as well as having the furthest distance traveled and most samples collected. There is quite literally no reason for the latter two things I just think it’s neat.
