Need way more Ronin. Need way more keys.

I was given the impression that Ronin were an immediate follow up to clearing kitsune squads, but they are actually super rare. One in seven so far and no keys. That's one per hour?? And we need how many keys?

Guys, come on. There's so much stuff to spend keys on! It should be raining keys out here! That's so much more fun to have a bunch to spend and pull the slot machine more times. If it were JUST the 30 apparel keys, fine. But there's dozens of things to chase including the community event. If I get one key per hour (which I haven't yet), there's no way I'm giving them away without getting anything in return.

More keys!

5 Kitsunebi squads defeated so far, no keys?

5 Kitsunebi squads defeated, no keys?

5 squads in on Heroic and no keys yet. Anyone have any idea what the drop rate is meant to be?

[PSA] Cherry Blossom Event: Drop Chances for Keys, Prototypes and Gear Cache Loot

The main concept of the event is pretty much the same as with the Winter Event. It's a community event featuring community challenges, caches, keys, and kill squads. Kitsunebi kill squads are packs of five Outcast enemies that spawn randomly from the nearest spawn closet. After defeating the NPCs from a Kitsunebi kill squad, either the Fox Ronin or Red Ronin hunter will spawn. Unlike the previous event, drop chances are now tied to world difficulty. Defeating a Ronin grants a chance to drop a Sakura Key, scaled by your world difficulty, and you will also receive skill VFXs as a guaranteed reward. NPCs from Kitsunebi kill squads can also drop Sakura Keys, although with a drop chance ten times lower than Ronins. The chances for Ronins and NPCs to drop Sakura Keys are as follows:

  • Normal: 55% (5.0% for NPCs)
  • Hard: 60% (5.5% for NPCs)
  • Challenging: 62.5% (6.0% for NPCs)
  • Heroic: 65% (6.5% for NPCs)

There is a probability of encountering Kitsunebi kill squads at Control Points and at the Loot Goblin locations (DZ South, DCD, Lincoln Memorial, etc.), though slightly less frequently. They can still spawn normally in the open world from the nearest spawn closet to the player. Each kill squad has a 10-minute cooldown after spawning. For instance, the next kill squad will appear 10 minutes after the previous one.

As mentioned above, completing a Ronin encounter rewards a Sakura key and a Skill VFX. Skill VFXs for the drone and turret are tied to Fox Ronin, while VFXs for the hive and seeker mine are tied to Red Ronin.

Sakura Keys can be used at the Event Vendor to open either an Apparel Cache or a Gear Cache. The Apparel Cache is pretty straightforward, offering guaranteed vanity items with no duplicates.

The Gear Cache contains a wide variety of gameplay items, ranging from Special Named Items to Prototypes. There are seven loot groups in total, each with its own overall drop chance, as well as individual drop chances for items within that group.

  • First Bloom — 12% per cache
  • First Bloom Prototype — 1.0% per cache
  • Prototype Gear Set — 0.5% per cache
  • Prototype Seasonal Named Gear — 0.5% per cache:
    • The Harvest — 10%
    • Chill Out — 10%
    • Sleigher — 10%
    • Slingshot — 10%
    • Oh Carol — 10%
    • First Sight — 10%
    • Quickstep — 10%
    • Festive Delivery — 10%
    • Snow Machine — 10%
    • Bell Ringer — 10%
  • Special Named Gear — 33% per cache:
    • Lexington — 14.2%
    • Turmoil — 14.2%
    • Caretaker — 14.2%
    • Shield Splinterer — 14.2%
    • Huntsman — 14.2%
    • Hunter-Killer — 14.2%
    • Handbasket — 14.2%
  • Seasonal Named Gear — 28% per cache:
    • The Harvest — 11.1%
    • Chill Out — 11.1%
    • Sleigher — 11.1%
    • Slingshot — 11.1%
    • Oh Carol — 11.1%
    • First Sight — 11.1%
    • Quickstep — 11.1%
    • Festive Delivery — 11.1%
    • Snow Machine — 11.1%
  • General Pool Exotics — 25% per cache:
    • Agitator — 14.2%
    • Investor — 14.2%
    • Chatterbox — 14.2%
    • Dodge City Gunslinger's Holster— 14.2%
    • Ridgeway's Pride — 14.2%
    • Nemesis — 14.2%
    • Liberty — 14.2%

The loot group for the Prototype Gear Set contains all 27 available gear sets, each of which has six pieces. The drop rates within this group are distributed evenly, so it is completely random which specific gear piece from which set will drop.

Just to clear up any misunderstandings, as you can see, there are no Lexington Prototype or other non-event Prototype weapons, nor any High-End Prototypes in the pool, so it is impossible to obtain them. The only Prototype items you can get from the caches are the First Bloom Prototype and the Prototype Gear Sets.

Cherry blossom event lamps

During the Christmas season, a post was made to find the gift boxes. I think it would be great to repeat the process. In this post, you can comment on which areas you found the lamps in. I'll leave mine in the first comment.

Normal - Global Setting - Cherry Blossom Event 100 Keys Hour

Hi all -

Ran around in a few random groups for about 1 hour and 30 min and had about 130 keys and I noticed if you stay together and try to find busy areas. The busier the area the more the Ninja dudes pop up. Often non-stop, endless Ronins if you stay together in a group and look for busy areas, especially where you see lots of the green good guys. Also use Normal for global setting. Its hard enough with normal and you get tons of keys. Seems you need 300-400 keys to complete the event. But even after it is the best way to get loot I have ever played.

BTW - please dont shoot the messenger. Dont get bummed at me for explaining the farm method.

Struggling HARD in Heroic with Striker… is it my build or just me?

Hey agents, I could really use some advice with my striker builds.

I recently came back to the game and started fresh with a new character. I’m around SHD 180-something now. About a month ago I moved up from Challenging to Heroic, and I’ve put together 3 different Striker builds… but with all of them I feel like I’m constantly fighting for my life instead of being comfortable in Heroic.

Build 1:

This is the first one I used — 3 blue cores / 3 red cores. I’m running the Equalizer chest and a backpack from the UA brand set with Bloodsucker. This one gave me decent sustain, but in Heroic enemies feel super bullet spongy and my damage just isn’t there.

Build 2:

This is a variation using the Hyena exotic mask. This is the one I’ve liked the most so far, but I still can’t get a good balance of CHC/CHD. Also, since it has fewer blue cores, I die way more — if I get flanked or make one mistake, I’m dead.

Build 3:

Striker + Memento backpack. Haven’t tested this one much yet, to be honest.

Another thing I think I’m struggling with is stats in general. I don’t fully understand how to properly stack CHC and CHD or what numbers I should be aiming for. Sometimes I feel kinda “locked” into using the Chameleon — like if I swap it out, my CHC drops a lot and everything feels worse.

Same with weapons and attachments — I think they can increase CHC and CHD, but I’m not really sure how that works exactly. Whenever I try to adjust them, it feels like I’m sacrificing one stat to improve the other, and I don’t know what’s actually optimal.

So yeah… I’m not sure what I’m missing. Is it just my SHD level — do I basically need to get closer to 1000 — or is it more about experience and gameplay?

For example, in Summit, if I run anything close to full red and Rogue Agents spawn, I die like 100% of the time 😅

On one hand, I want to deal way more damage, but I always keep at least 1 blue core because otherwise I feel way too squishy.

What am I missing to make Heroic feel like a breeze? I’ve seen people running even Legendary full red like it’s nothing… am I just bad? lol

Any tips would be appreciated 🙏 (I play mostly solo or duos)

If they can hide our specialized weapons….

Is there a way I’m not seeing that lets us hide our chest piece? I feel the answer is probably no. I think most of my styled fits just look better without one. Usually going for tops that hide it by default but I’d like the option to for everything.

Cherry Blossom event keys

Is it just me or this event already a clown fiesta with bugged instances where you can farm hundreds of keys non stop, other ppl not getting a single key drop in their instances, everyone asking questions etc ?

Also there seems to be some cheese going on, I joined a group where squads kept respawning non stop

Also what's with the random Kitsune squads like inside a building that you can't access until they despawn

After today's update, The Division 2 won't launch because of EasyAntiCheat on Mac via CrossOver

After today's update, The Division 2 won't launch because of EasyAntiCheat.
I was playing this game on Mac via CrossOver app, and it work completely fine on my Mac.
I understand this is only my problem because this game does not support Mac.
Just want to say about this somewhere.
Verifying game files don't help.
