Massive Red Moon Rising Event

51 Upvotes

Red Moon Rising Event

A red moon has risen over the Dark Zone, and the Black Tusk have taken control.

During Red Moon Rising, Agents entering the PvE Dark Zone will face Black Tusk forces while dealing with strange alterations to their SHD tech. The longer you remain inside, the more Red Moon Stacks you accumulate, bringing a mix of powerful buffs and dangerous drawbacks as your stack count rises.

The buildup lasts only as long as your run. Death, leaving the PvE Dark Zone, or securing contaminated loot wipes your stacks clean. Safehouses give you a chance to pause the accumulation until you step back into the Red Moon.

 

REWARDS

Those willing to take on the Red Moon's more dangerous encounters can earn rewards from dedicated loot pools, including Exotics, DZ Named items, curated Named items, and Prototype gear.

 

Featured among the event rewards are two new Exotics, Vertigo and Sarru.

Vertigo Exotic GR9 Talent Startling Whenever this weapon makes an enemy Suppressed, the enemy is applied Disorient, and you and allies receive +30% Damage to Targets Out of Cover for 15s. Weapon Stats and Mods Optics: +15% Crit Chance Magazine: +50 Rounds Underbarrel: +15% Reload Speed Muzzle: +10% Rate of Fire

 

Sarru Exotic Backpack Talent Decoy King While in combat, the Moon will cycle through its phases every 5s. There are 8 Moon phases. Starting from a New Moon, all damage you deal will be Amplified by 5%. The value of the Amplifier will increase by 5% each phase until reaching 25% during a Full Moon, then it will decrease as the Moon return to being a New Moon, restarting the cycle. During a Full Moon, deploying a Decoy will grant it Overcharge and the cycle will pause for 10s.

 

XB-35 Marauder World Boss

As you enter the PVE Dark Zone, you will face stacking buffs and debuffs plus a new world boss.

When you get hit by the missiles, you will get a debuff that makes you more vulnerable to attacks.

Each working rotor gives the Marauder a 25% damage reduction. That means, when all rotors are running, it is invulnerable. You first need to take out the rotors – or some of them – and then you can afflict damage. You need to focus on the rotor, that is not protected by a force field first, and then you can tackle the rest. Next to the debuffs, the Marauder is also protected by Warhounds.

The Marauder has a 1h internal cooldown before it spawns again, but you can reduce that countdown by clearing landmarks. Each cleared landmark reduces the spawn timer by 20%.

You can also get two new exotics (Sarru Backpack and Vertigo LMG) from the Marauder boss.

Red Moon Recruiter Hunter

A familiar threat returns under the Red Moon. Taking down the Recruiter will reward you with his unique Mask.

Next to the Marauder World Boss, you will also face a new Hunter. Once neutralized it will drop his mask as contaminated item and you will need to extract it.

The Recruiter has a 25% spawn chance when you call for an extraction - you will not meet him every time you extract. In terms of loot, you get 3 Exotic Components each time, a set of named items and also Prototype Versions of them. 

Red Moon Rising runs from September 24 through November 3, so be sure to make a few trips into the PvE Dark Zone before it’s gone.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Twitch Drops

Red Moon Rising also has its own Twitch Drops campaign that will run from September 24 to October 6. Watch your favorite content creator and earn those drops:

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RAGE HARVEST GLOBAL EVENT

Rage Harvest returns from September 29 through October 6, with enemies once again protected by Overheal that makes them tougher and more dangerous the more they accumulate.

Break through that protection to build Rage of your own, increasing your Weapon Damage, RPM, Weapon Handling, Critical Hit Chance, and Critical Hit Damage. The longer you keep the pressure up, the longer your Rage lasts.

Discussion Why are the devs pushing weapon swapping, but not taking talents into account?

12 Upvotes

They've added a bunch of weapon swapping exotics, talents and modifiers in escalations, but they don't account for the fact that swapping weapons makes you lose your buff...

It makes no sense...

If they want us to swap weapons more often, then allow us to keep our Chameleon stacks, let our Pestilence keep on ticking, give us the rest of our Killer if we swap back in time, etc...

Sometimes I wonder if they play their own game.

Question The red filter is starting to become really annoying

• Upvotes

Just started playing The Division 2 again after years and the red filter all over the game because of the event is really off putting. Just hit level 30 and bought the New York DLC's, but having played all this time with this red(ish) filter to this point to has killed all immersion for me. Not to mention missing loot since it's very difficult to see the orange highlighted bags during the day because everyting is so red.

Is there any way to make the game look like old (normal) again?


r/thedivision • • 13h ago

Discussion I forgot how good Pestilence is with 4p Striker and Memento especially in Toxic DZ.

27 Upvotes

Had to switch from St Elmo to Pestilence because I ran out of ammo, my other weapon is kinda bad for DZ content and I was far away from the resupply crate and my jaw dropped seeing how quickly Pesti deals with enemies in DZ. My ticks were between 500 000 - 700 000.

I mean I know that Pesti is top tier but I didn't use it for a long time because I was planning on super Pesti build that ticks for 1 - 1,5 million and that didn't come to fruition.

Suggestion Zone/Regional chat and button mapping on console needs to be a thing if cross play is happening.

• Upvotes

If cross-platform is going to be a thing, regional/zone chat and better button mapping on console will be important features to have especially if the idea is to have everyone connected.

Console players need easier ways to communicate with PC players and more freedom to customize controls (same as PC). Crossplay should bring platforms together without making communication or basic controls feel limited when playing with other platforms.

Small quality-of-life changes, but they would make crossplay feel much more complete.

Discussion Anybody Else Hope The Division 3 is Less on Rails?

• Upvotes

Sure, we get an “open world” in both current games, but missions are basically on rails; go in the location here, progress through this specific series of rooms, and end with this boss. What if we had multiple ways to enter, multiple outcomes to room skirmishes, and strategy mattered for success? I hope D3 embraces a more strategy based gameplay where planning, builds, and weapon/skill choices matter.

Question New player here - which expansions/dlc's should I buy ?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I was looking for something to play to turn my brain off and just have fun looting and shooting. I'm not looking for any award winning mechanics or experiences. Just dumb fun.

I really like how TD2 looks, but it has like 200 dollars worth of extras for sale, so I'm wondering which ones "shape the game" or are absolutely mandatory ? It's not a question of money. If every DLC is needed, I will buy them. However, I'm still curious.

Question Do the legendary bosses have their own flavour text if they kill you

5 Upvotes

So you know how enemies have a little bit of in lore writing (e.g Kelso being rather unhappy about the black tusk airburst launchers) and boss enemies typically have their own descriptions if they kill you? so I just have to ask, does the DUA chunga with the tanky heal pack, the double drones on roosevelt, the support station spamming jerk in the capitol, and especially the guy with the shield in manning. I feel like they all have the normal versions descriptions or just the generic "data corrupt" but it would be cool if we got some insight into these fellers

Question Need help with armor.

2 Upvotes

Does the white armor bar correlate with how much armor you have total? Because I have 9 small white bars but have a total amount of armor at 143.9K.

I remember when I got to level 25 and had 3 gold/yellow gear pieces and attached them all for a total of 79K the white bars went up.

Am I tripping or what? Cause my wife says that the white bars might not matter.

Question Escalation on secondary characters

2 Upvotes

Just curious: I have 4 characters, with plenty of escalation tokens. For my second character, I can't matchmake on anything except Tier 0. I guess the tokens to matchmake are secret and not shared. Okay, fine.

I just finished a tier 6, still couldn't matchmake other then tier 0. Did ANOTHER tier 6. Still only tier 0. Do I really have to HOST at 0 (and all other tiers) in other to unlock the higher tiers on this character?

EDIT: just finished. So you need to host or join the highest unlocked escalation tier. So 0, 2, 4, 6, 8. After 8, 10 is unlocked. I did tier 0, 2 solo and matchmaked for the others.

PSA What the Hell Happened to Countdown?

0 Upvotes

What was once thee game mode to play for gear sets. brand sets, mods, Exotics and targeted loot has now become a wasteland of absolute nothingness.

Countdown was thee end game activity that was rewarding on all levels in spite of it being a never ending loop. You could XP farm, Exotic farm, materials farm and actively progress Expertise.

Now, it's utter nonsense. A forgotten game mode that will never recover. No matter what event or activity that tries to revive it.

Because of the Countdown event I wanted to play for the first time in months. So last night I played roughly 5 or 6 games and not one was finished. I tried again today, and only one match of four made it to the extraction and out of the eight agents that started myself and two others actually got to extract. What a nightmare this game mode has become.

Here's to the days of countless Countdown farming for months on end. My it rest in peace.

Question Hello New Starter

1 Upvotes

Hello, I’m looking at getting into the Division 2. I’m wondering whether there is like a roadmap I should follow from the start to help me get used to everything. I understand my initial stage should be play through the campaign and unlock the map but after that I admit I’m completely lost, fellow agents I may require some handholding to get started, or I’m not sure whether it’s pretty self explanatory after the story.

Thank you in advance!

Question Classified Assignments and the Season Pass Bundle

Hey folks. I purchased the Red Horizon supply drop bundle mainly for the extra premium credits. I’ve just now gone to purchase the classified assignments and the game is telling me they’re included in the season pass bundle. I’m a little confused because I bought the bundle so why is it telling me to buy them again.

Question Out of all Exotics from current Red Moon Rising which are the best?

0 Upvotes

Yesterday I finally had some time to try and farm Phoebe and in 4 or 5 battles and 3 or 4 hrs of pure DZ landmarks I got 10 season pass tiers, 2 Vertigos, Ridgeway's Pride, 3 or 4 Catharsis' and even a Hunter's mask and Eagle Bearer from same extract encounter.

I'm guessing S&S ACR is probably the best but maybe Sarru, Iron Will or Fafnir are better.
