Tom Clancy's The Division 2

I think the new update is great but there doesn't seem to be a main hook with this DLC. The expedition is nice addition, and the discovery difficulty for the raid is welcome, but I was hoping expeditions would be a sizeable chunk of replayable content similar to the underground expansion from the first game.

I've barely touched the DZ so I'm going to start working on getting my rank up there, but I'm just curious as to what longevity this episode is really adding for people who have played continuously since launch?

After latest update I can't seem to upgrade my crafting table to 500 when I hold square. It shows new menu. Any idea how this works?

Just realized I need to give 2 gear items... Duh

I have the house to myself Friday mornings and typical 3 hours downtime maintenance happens tgis window each week. Bugger.

Played this last night for the first time in a couple of months out of circumstances more than pissed off with it. Anyway when I left I had built a seeker mine explosive build and it was pretty decent, but OMG after this update its off the charts:eek: see below a screen shot for a mission I did last nigh and the after action stats. As you can see here I did 5 times more damage and killed 5 times more NPC's than anybody else on the team:D:D (challenging mission)

All I'm doing is running a skill build about 3000k and have explosive on EVERYTHING, demo specialist and the perk where you get a 25% to reset coold owns if you kill some one with a skill. My seekers are running about a 10sec cool down as it is but at one stage I just lashed out 4 in a row because I was killing so many. MY seekers are hitting about 400k base with elites 500k if not more. and I have about 6 mines doing this. Running a standard turret also that is hitting 25k a bullet as well and that can stay up for about an hour I think

All in all I was up till 4:30am last night messing with it. good fun until the nerf hammer is wielded

I don't think it does add longevity. The way the RNG/Gear works there's very little incentive to grind for stuff. They'll need to totally rework this aspect imo.

I really like this game but the way the devs have treated the community really really irks me. There's several issues but in particular the no matchmaking for the raid, how they went about it, how they tried to roll back on it, just every step they take is a misstep. I hear the armour glitch is back in pvp so that could make the DZ out of bounds for a while.

I have something similar ECO my seekers don't do as much damage but it's more a hybrid in that the LMG is still pretty powerful. I'm running the drone which is just insane, it stays up forever and when I kill it it's back in 10 seconds too.

I had a brief look at the bomber drone last night with my setup and it was saying that its bombs were putting out 1 million damage.... but the bomber drone takes work to aim and its very clunky aiming can never get it right.


Also 6 seekers putting out 500k is 3 million damage

Yeah to hell with the bomber drone. I tried using it again last night and killed myself, so at least I know it works, The MG drone is the one I'm using it does fair damage but it also distracts the hell out npcs. I hear the shield one is broken in unnormalized PvP. You can (allegedly) get it to stay active for 6 minutes tanking 80% damage.

I have 3 or 4 extra seekers but individually I think they only do 250K. I have 4 out of six explosive perks on gear and the backpack one that has a 25% skill reset, running a petrov piece I don't really need and a few other things I could improve but it's still very effective.

haven't even launched the new missions, can't see the reason, nothing to work towards. for someone who grinded to strong builds on both xbox and pc independently i just can;t see anything to cause me to fire it up now , finding destiny has way more to offer right now in terms of stuff to do, so many guns.quests to work through. division has nothing like the scale of that at the moment

On ps4 and im getting lots of crashes this week. On pro but really bad world loading while running too and a lot of sound issues like rattling off my LMG but no noise... anyone else have similar on Ps4?

gimli2112

the loading isn't great, I'd heard it's bad on pc too, no crashes but plenty of sound issues

I dunno, I get more damage output than that with an AR only.

That's fighting talk:cool:......lets see the numbers..


I'm not saying it the best build ever in fact its my only build:( but its fun. Just got another seeker mine mod last night but haven't time to test it but I can now have 16 seeker mines each pushing out 450k per mine. Wont have 16 NPCs at any time and I had to drop a skill haste mod so the cool down is around 24secs now so I don't know how its going to work.

The last leg to unlock the gunner is dire. It's actually making me not want to play. It's just unnecessary busy work.

Pain in my hole in the woods repeating the mission on challenging looking for the BTSU exotic gloves drop...

Anyone have any luck?

shootermacg

Apparently they drop from any black tusk. They suggest you do the invaded hotel up until the first turret. If you don't get them, restart the mission.

With the update today, any ideas for a good quick farm spot for the new gloves?

ECO_Mental

Jeeze had a right good few hours last night and today.
I got dropped 3 exotics

The Merciless
The BTSU gloves &
The Pistol.

Wasn't particularly farming either for them. One problem is the merciless is only GS450 as I was helping my young fella level up at the time. So I'm going to have to recalibrate that up. That leads me to the question WTF is with the crafting bench. I can't upgrade it to GS500 it's at 490 atm

TheValeyard

Came back to this last night. Good fun to drop in and out of. Still only level 20 but enjoying it and the year one stuff.

I've been putting down named elites like it's going out of style and no sign of BTSU gloves... damn RNG

They finally added a jump to 500 a few weeks back, ridiculous that it was stuck at 490 for so long. Anyway you should have the option but you also have to sacrifice to pieces of gear, I missed that the first time I was trying to upgrade it and thought that bug had re-appeared but it went fine once I realised I was missing the prompt.

gimli2112

Was able to upgrade the bench after the last update Eco. Needed to throw some gear and a gun into it. Of course I had heard some people were bugged so hopefully it's not that.



There's a a chest in the ps clan vendor that's got over 1000 skillpower. I picked something else up as well but can't remember what.

I've had a dozen crashes on ps4 this week. Anyone else?

How does the save inventory work? Probably lost a load of loot...

I see the prompt to upgrade and says press x to upgrade but it still won't do it. I'm not too pushed atm as I think the BTSU gloves work better with my explosive skills build anyway. They are pushing my 10 seeker mines to well over 600k. I have to option to push out 16 mines, but there isn't enough Npc's in game to take advantage of that

So how is the dlc? Last i played this, i was WT 2 so i still need to get to WT 5 but the dlc sounds interesting, especially as it's free.

gimli2112

it's very meh tbh, I've played the three missions and they're good but you're back to the same issue in that there's nothing to really grind for. the last update buffed skills so everyone now has a skill build and that's fun making. I made one up though from the stuff I had in the stash and there's not much I can do to improve it other than hope for a god roll petrov backpack
