DL2 Tower Raid Solo Walkthough Guide

[@topchopyt]

Sorry Folks it seems that as of hotfix 1.19.1 (07 Nov 2024) the rage booster no longer grants invulnerability and you will now need to avoid taking damage rather than trading blows with the bosses. You can still use the objects to block them and dart in and out but it is no longer as easy as taking the rage booster and ignoring everything else.

[@teresekonopka7131]

Thank you so much for this! Very informative and helpful.

[@topchopyt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@PabloHernandez-gl5ij]

Thank you bro this is going to help me with my solo run because I only need my Archer and my tank class left to beat the solo run on Tower raid.👍

[@topchopyt]

You got this!

[@PabloHernandez-gl5ij]

@@topchopyt let's hope I can also could you max out the perks all the way like all of them or just a certain few?

[@topchopyt]

You can only get a max of 29 perks (baka rank 25) which will let you get the ultimate skill for 2 trees, like I show at the end of the video

[@Mr.memester-k5d]

My advice (somebody who solos it everyday) Keep atleast 1 firearm for the volatiles and final boss. There extremely cheesy and can dispatch them quickly. I'd suggest getting the minus stamina perk as you won't have to worry about stamina ever again. And on the final, since the Boss always drops on the trash bags get the mines On the table (there's six) And it's enough to kill him. No need for c4 Never get rid of the starting weapon the infinite durability is a wonder, Only use gained weapons on bosses/volatiles since they do more damage and have elements. Also Abuse the hell out of regen and toughness Inhalers. Makes you basically immortal if you aren't stupid

[@NachoManRandySausage]

Love the vid! It's just unfortunate that ithe mode still has lots of bugs that ruins the experience, but overall, I'm enjoying the grind. Btw, have you played the mode just now? Seems like they nerfed the rage booster after the recent hotfix or my game just bugged out.

[@topchopyt]

Yeah I agree. Did you have the inefficient booster modifier for that floor as that basically makes the rage booster not work properly? I am busy uploading a video about the hotfix that just dropped and fixed most of the bugs I en counted and it should be available in about 30 mins.

[@NachoManRandySausage]

@@topchopyt I tested it out numerous times and it seems like you're still getting damaged regardless if the modifier is negative or not.

[@topchopyt]

@@NachoManRandySausage Sorry, it was still working last night but it seems like the hotfix that just dropped removed the invulnerability perk from the rage booster. You are right it is no longer as effective

[@jakesaunders7928]

Can someone help i cant figure out how to do tower raids ive done the lost armory quest but when i check jais board theres no raids

[@topchopyt]

Tower raids are no longer available at the moment. Techland used the halloween event as a sort of beta test and they will continue to work on them and release the tower raids properly later (we don't know when the full release comes out)

[@Axiom231]

Nice run. I do have a problem on ps5, my session perks wont show up and they are not active. Maybe because i play offline? No idea, anyway the raid is great with plague boy, but what a grind, its way too long.

[@RicardoPerez-yd1rn]

You just need to set the online session to private and it will work

[@topchopyt]

Thank you . Are you sure you have you have activated the perk, because when I bought my first one I started a run and also noticed the perk wasn't active. When I went back to Baka I found you can't just buy the perk but also need to select it to make it active.

[@Axiom231]

@topchopmain yep! I figure its another bug. Seems to be very buggy, the blueprints you get when completing the raid with other operators? I only got the scarecrow one, not any other blueprints. Also missing 1 beast card on floor 7, shame that i never actually got floor 7 in like 8 or 9 runs. I like the idea but the whole thing is pretty messy techland...

[@topchopyt]

The blueprints being incorrect for every character except the scarecrow seems to be a very common bug, so hopefully it gets patched as a hotfix on 6 Nov when they also release the elite mode. I also had that issue of repeating multiple runs trying to get one of the floors to spawn to pick up the last card.

[@Axiom231]

@@topchopyt i might let the beast outfit go lol i dont want to grind again just for the outfit tbh! Thanks for the replies tho keep up the good content😉

[@dubbayabird6680]

I'm having a really hard time being motivated to even do a run. I just canceled my ps plus again as well so I'll have to solo it if I can be bothered. All in want is the crossbow. And that's only if it is more powerful than the standard one. I prefer playing regular bow, but I still want it lol. Is the van Aiden set worth the grind?

[@topchopyt]

The crossbow with the van Aiden set is my current favourite. Its unique effect is that it deals more damage the lower the targets health. When testing it took 3 regular bolts to take out a volatile. The armour set on the other hand isn't that great and you will probably have better stats with a full ranger armour set if you like playing ranged. I will post a video soon highlighting all the armour/weapons etc that you can get from the halloween event. There is also more than 2 weeks left in the event so you still have plenty of time to decide if it will be worth it.

[@gerardocortes7243]

Anyone know why tower raids just don’t appear in my game I go to the board where you start his mission but there’s no tower section

[@topchopyt]

It was in beta but it has now ended. The tower raids will come back after the devs have had some time to make more changes.

[@gerardocortes7243]

@ oh ty man me and my buddy were starting to crash tf out cuz it wasn’t showing up we thought our games just bugged

[@KamilPtak-rt3cq]

1:36 this is the best tree for every Claas?

[@topchopyt]

If you fight up close and personal (Plague, Scarecrow, Pirate) it will help keep you alive long enough to get through each encounter which in turn will get you more XP and rank up with Baka, allowing you to get more Perks and make each run easier. Van Aiden will probably be best to go down the tree on the right that boosts range damage but he will still benefit from the increased damage reduction and health regen.

[@KamilPtak-rt3cq]

@topchopmain oh okay thanks man

[@topchopyt]

I also posted a quick clip right at the end of the video for what I consider the best build when you have all perk points available.

[@koebravo1999]

how to d you get health bars more also, can we use different character to take down tyrant its going to be a sticky situation

[@topchopyt]

You can get more health bars in the survivor tree. If you are struggling with the tyrant with a different character I would recommend sprinting back to the elevator and dealing damage from range. The pirate has dynamite you can throw, Van Aiden has explosive bolts for his crossbow and the scarecrow has molotovs although for him I would recommend using one of the guns you picked up in a lower floor.

[@Salubrious_death]

Run back to the elevator and perfect block the acid spit back at the tyrant. Deflecting his own attack at him deals massive damage

[@theintruder6085]

What difficulty did u play on? Easy? Or hard

[@topchopyt]

This was on hard difficulty, but I didn't notice much of a difference between the difficulties in the tower raid. Except for nightmare difficulty with the flashlight timing out and not pausing in the inventory screen. The infected seem to be the same regardless of the game difficulty.

[@dubbayabird6680]

Having to get used to playing this again have been playing Dead Island 2. But I am having a really hard time getting the motivation for the slog. I do want to explore the new areas, but that's about it. And I love this game. I hate the community overall dislikes it so much. Hopefully the beast will change minds. And will be enjoyable. But I'm gonna miss the glider .
