    Going to let you in on a little secret

    This is most probably already known by a few but i dicovered it for myself and never saw this mentioned anywhere hence why i call it a little secret.

    as it is something that benefits the player and is bound to be fixed more sooner than later i guess that is why most who know are keeping it quiet and just enjoying it while it lasts.

    it has to do with the perfect headhunter buff , there is a way to keep the buff up 100% of the time , even from fight to fight so you can start blasting yellows with constant Mantis 20 million shots as soon as you reach the new room, and its very simple to do.

    when you have the buff up if you switch weapons the buff will refresh , so to keep it up all the time you just have to switch weapons at least once every 30 seconds , real simple , and of course keep hitting heads only or the buff will go down and you´ll have to build it up again , you can even shot explosive stuff on the map and it will still be up too , only shots on npcs/robots bodies wear the buff out.

    have fun while it lasts and take notice the build works great even without this so if nerfed it wont be a great loss , you just cant carry it from fight to fight or after longer periods where you dont get a shot in a fight but its easy to build it up again.

    On the topic of headhunter, small tidbit of advice, don't use shotgun with as there is a bug if you get a headshot and bodyshot at the same time, it wil consume the bonus but it won't give it back despite showing the buff active.

    This bug with headhunter is known and a fix is in the works - though it likely won't come before the next major title update. We'll watch for feedback after the fact and if it seems like Headhunter was only good because of this bug, then we will be sure to pass that along.

    the headhunter is good as it is without the bug, bug is just temporary added fun, but the original cap felt better because you had a better chance to go against armoured targets , for killing anything including elites its was a one shot as it is now so no harm was done in maintaining the 1500% cap , just a better odd for the lone sniper against black tusk.

    For me headhunter it's a lot of fun, killing a boss with the initial crossbow boost is strangely satisfying, I use survivalist just for that

    so like for me... you know.. you build a build according to how the dev's designed certain gears..weapons..talents..etc ....to work together and all...
    but the community says some of those are "Cheese"...

    but then you have this little "secret"... which i would.. certainly call "cheese"...

    i wouldnt call it a cheese , its just an oversight on the buff mechanic you can take some advantage and have a bit more fun , you still have to own the HS skills to use it and keep remembering to swap weapons to maintain it so i say that the skill it takes to take advantage of this nulifies the advantage it gives.

    dmg glitches, target practises and making enemies funnel in legendary , now that ´s proper cheese.

    That is just standard proper worlds first pre-raid training.

    This is a valid criticism. Now, I know the polarity rewards fix won't come in time because of how soon that ends and how many mountains have to move in order to fix anything on a live AAA game.

    But at least they could make a statement owning the failure and pledging to do better going forward.

    But, then again., I'd imagine that the top ranks of Ubisoft probably aren't worried about The Division 2 right now. They have their hands full with their internal issues.

    "Hey Ubisoft..... stop doing bad releases in the Division 2..... and treat each other with respect FFS!"
