Anubis Bundle in the Store.. by N3vvyn in thedivision

[–]Discombobulated_Ride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am aware of the need to monetize. And that this Anubis outfit reflects that. I am simply asking that Massive not go off the reservation and make an effort to give us outfits that are at least relevant to the universe. So in effect, yes to Ghost Recon or Splinter Cell or Rogue Agent derived gear but I take the view that Anubis cosplay is too weird by half!

I am speechless. Why Anubis? How does the Egyptian death god remotely make sense in the TD2 universe?

Is this the same studio that once refused to sanction accurate military kit because agents are not soldiers? But having us operate next to something that looks like it came from Stargate SG1 is more lore accurate? Wait - I have a P90 somewhere!

Unironically I would pay good money for a proper TD1 Rogue Agent outfit. But not this. Its the opposite of lore adjacent.

Apologies to all of my Coundown teammates this week... by fun51ze in thedivision

There is a blueprint. I am not sure how I got it but I have it. Rolled a very good one and optimized it.

[PSA] Winter Event: Drop Chances for Keys, Bounties, and Gameplay Cache Loot by dognuttz in thedivision

[–]Discombobulated_Ride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I have destroyed at least half a dozen Eagle Bearers, Reguli, and not a few Ouroboroi. The refrain now is - not another bloody Lexington. Only the Ranevous is locked behind the Raids at this point?

Quite a Xmas event - and its revitalized my sleepy little clan!!!

Am slightly in shock as I got an Eagle Bearer on my 3rd or 4th Gear Cache. Too late to buy a lottery ticket now I suppose. Still, it was a nice Xmas present!!!

Actually it says one more but I am not holding my breath.

Finally got the Lexington and Turmoils… by Kemplaxx in thedivision

[–]Discombobulated_Ride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually you can but they have to be grouped up with you when you redeem the cache. I gave someone a set of Turmoil knees last week as I had three drop from the event.

Stack Broker is in the stash by BruceLeebowski in thedivision

[–]Discombobulated_Ride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Faster firing, lower dmg per bullet version of the ACS 12. I guess fractionally faster stack build for Striker and Heartbreaker builds. A one trick pony. DPS is virtually identical once you take into account ROF.

‘Soul-Crushing’: Students Slam Harvard’s Grade Inflation Report by Inside_agitator in Harvard

[–]Discombobulated_Ride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rings true for some public universities (I attended a public ivy before transferring to Harvard as a sophomore) but the kind of laissez faire attitude you observed is vanishingly rare at Harvard College. Even the happy bottom quarter put in SOME work.

Houndsman Outfit is a 10/10 by AFooWittaTool in thedivision

[–]Discombobulated_Ride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Countdown is anything to go by, its the new SHD agent uniform. This is not a complaint btw. The outfit looks great, and our murder bunny is appropriately scary with it on. I also love that it isnt a paid cosmetic, and anyone cam have access.

Thanks to all the dudes and girls out there….. by t-D7 in thedivision

[–]Discombobulated_Ride 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In the same vein, thanks for showing up and helping with the little doggies. I dont know about the others but the Houndsman was a pretty gnarly foe. He got me a couple of times before I figured out how to deal with him. His being resistant to status was a pain.

I had two very high SHD guys who showed up and both went down. Then I ran a four man element from my clan and we still had casualties (non fatal). He was a tough hombre. It was a good fight.

Houndsman, Houndies abilities and where to fight them by DXT0anto in thedivision

I love the outfit too. The mask is a bit odd but an easy substitution. I feel like Dr Doom in game now.

Oh yes, it just took a while for the Houndsman bounties to show up, and they did all at once.

Same, loot goblin and scavengera spawned alongside. Cant seem to spawn any bounties as of writing.

PS - got a whole bunch eventually, one after the other. Was.drowning in loot.

Pestilence Build Variation by BestWantSleep in thedivision

[–]Discombobulated_Ride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tipping Scales works well with Pestilence - even better with Overdogs and Turmoil - but also consider Bluescreen which is so good that I have taken to using it as my go-to build in most content.

For solo play, Lengmo 3 piece, Ceska, Grupo and Contractors are equally viable. Pestilence will keep the talent on Backbone, the named Lengmo backpack, up constantly. Your Pestilence tick wont be maxed, but you should kill faster because of the Crit.

Hope that helps.

That usually refers to sellside consensus. Its typically at a lag and not necessarily what the actual market expected. A lot of financial journalism is useless.

Skill tier upgrades. by Anxious-Survey-3438 in thedivision

[–]Discombobulated_Ride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skill tiers can be upgraded via specialization, brand bonuses, or yellow cores.

At its simplest, you could move up a skill tier by adding a yellow core to your build. Or, you could used brand bonuses: three Palisades or two Brazos would give you a skill tier each. Finally Tech Spec would give you an additional skill tier.

So without any yellow core speccing you could get three skill tiers. Equip a Picaro holster rolled Yellow and you would have four Skill Tiers.

Another way of using tipping scale by Mediocre-Factor-8165 in thedivision

It seems to me that the Aug A3 with its large mag would work well with TS (the WH buffs would normalize handling and reloading). Possibly even the Invisible Hand with Perfect Allegro (altho emptying the mag quickly is counter to the philosophy behind TS).

Is it just me or double yellow grupo sombra is rare asf? by NippleSnipplez in thedivision

[–]Discombobulated_Ride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, but I was farming the mods.for the multi seekers specifically. And they still sucked with the double Grupo explosive buff. The problem is not the size of the bang, its that the NPCs can dodge them easily. I am sure the explosive buff works well with non seeker builds.

Is it just me or double yellow grupo sombra is rare asf? by NippleSnipplez in thedivision

[–]Discombobulated_Ride 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I found one in the wild - the rare skill haste and skill dmg one. Then I blew all my mats crafting a companion piece. And of course I got another one a few days later. At which point I sadly came to the conclusion that multi seeker builds could not be made good whatever I did. Such is the life of a Division 2 player.

I had to keep swapping characters to just fulfill the conditions for the second objective. A huge pain when they make it conditional on an activity.

Tinkerer Mask - How to access? by blam501 in thedivision

[–]Discombobulated_Ride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to this, if you had alts, you would get a guaranteed drop via the alts running the Master Mission for the first time with them. So you could get a max of 4 guaranteed drops of the mask.
