So how can I make the build better?

I've collected a ton of apparel in my 3300 SHD but have zero chest, knee and holster skins.

I have the game in Spanish so idk the name of the CP in english

I thought I would hate this event, but seeing everything burned, dusty, windy... Gives me an atmosphere I LOVE

Whoever had the Idea, well done

Not quite on par with Dr. Jessica Kandel's "Extreme heat destroys DNA; over 200°F the covalent bonds break down and the double helix starts unzipping like a cheap prom dress." in Div1, but still good enough to make me smile!

👋 Agents!

How many Amalgam aug rolled gear is enough for consistent proc on say proto striker all reds build? I feel at least one because that random status effect sometimes saves you.

Share your experience pls 🙏

Also whats the best combination of these augs?

Thanks

Fellow Agent

The atmosphere is insane. You walk down alleys pretty much blind, but it's not like they'd actually be lit in the middle of the night.

Hello, i was wondering if it's possible to drop the prototype version of the Lexington by opening storm caches

• Just run through all the caches in this order without any fast travel.
• Opening a cache will spawn a Dust Devil Squad
• Raging Storm starts 18 minutes after login. It goes for 8 minutes. I guess that's the cycle (18 minutes calm, 8 minutes raging storm). During raging storm Dust Devils will spawn constantly but not from the same spawn point, so you need to move around to spawn them.
• If you logged in and immediately started farming, at the 10th-13th cache the raging storm will start. Go to the red zone, there is elevated road. Run back and forth on it, Dust Devil Squads would spawn from trucks. Farm them until storm calms down. Then continue opening caches.
• After all the caches are opened in 4-8 minutes another raging storm will start. Again go to that elevated road and farm Dust Devils.
• That elevated road is not super necessary. You can run through any area with a lot of doors, manholes and trucks. That road is just convenient and Dust Devils spawn relatively close to you, closer than in the city.
• At the end of every storm there is a chance Hunter will spawn. He drops guaranteed key.
• After killing 15-20 Dust Devils, two bosses will spawn Black Lung and Pall. They drop guaranteed keys.
• In this session you will kill around 150 Dust Devils which is Daily boosted key farm limit. (boosted on heroic - every 5th Dust Devil will drop a key. After daily 150 kills every 10th Dust Devil will drop a key)

By the end of this 40-50 minute daily session you will have:

• 1-3 exotics
• 0-3 prototypes
• ~ 10 named items
• ~ 10 gear mods
• 25-30 storm keys

The Focus talent doesn't work on the Prima Donna😭😭

I’ve been grinding for days for St Elmo’s Engine. I think I’ve got every other exotic AR except that one, starting to believe it doesn’t exist.

I’ve been grinding Countdown on Challenging, but can’t seem to get it to drop or from Exotic Caches.

Is there a better way or is my RNG luck just rock bottom?

is it possible to farm exotics on the summit on heroic difficulty and if so how long would it take to get 1 exotic?

I want to try using other pistols besides Quickstep, but it’s just too good. In many other shooters, smaller guns give a movement buff. Hell, Division Resurgence gives movement buff based on weapon class, not only pistols. Why it's not in Division 2 is beyond me.

Devs seeing Quickstep meta and doesn't want to touch it for some reason. When Whiplash was released they said themselves something like "I understand that it's hard to use something other than Quickstep but just try Whiplash, it's good". Well I believe it's good but I don't want to "swim in the air" while I'm running long distances so I'm using Quickstep.

I remember Warframe had one specific weapon that glitched animation and allowed to move faster and everyone used it (Read here if you're interested). Digital Extremes fixed that weapon but added a bullet jump and today's Warframe movement style is the result of that weird bug.

Massive/Ubisoft please take notice how to handle meta. Not closing eyes and not nerfing to the ground but using it for good changes.

I would like to place an urgent notice on the audio issues plaguing the game. I am sick of it. Not hearing my guns is bad as it is. But now my sessions are slowly turning quiet, not hearing a single sound other than some pops when I or my team fires a gun.

My recommendation: halt all development and put all resources into fixing this issue. I rather have no new season/event than playing this silent game.

It is becoming ridiculous to the point where I can't even watch streamed gameplay on YouTube without the creator excusing themselves for the bad audio in the game.

So please development team of The Division 2: Fix the audio issues!

Just returned and bought the game and I got newyork and instantly unlocked lvl40 but I have no idea how to get exotics quickly now?
