The Division 2

Re: The Division 2

If anyone has an agent around level 20, I may need an assist tomorrow. I was just doing the bank vault mission and for the love of God, I cannot ****ing kill Rebound.

Between him and the never ending spawning Hyenas, I either run out of ammo before I can kill him, I run out of armor kits or I run out of revives with my Hive skill. I just quit the mission after dying for literally the tenth time, went back to the White House and manufactured new level 20 and higher damage weapons (my weapons I had at the time were either level 17 or 18), so I'm hoping that ends up doing the trick.

I'm going to try the mission again tomorrow and see if I can pull it off solo with the new higher level, higher damage weapons, otherwise I'm going to need at least one other person to assist to both increase firepower on Rebound and keep him from focusing on me 100% of the damn time.

Regarding the Black Tusk, they waited for a reason. When you play the "invaded missions", you'll see why. Not happy with the specializations at all. Seems like none of them do any damage. The sniper rifle bullets seems to go through enemies because I don't notice any difference, damage or impact whatsoever. Agree with the character getting stuck sometimes and when diving out of cover, you automatically go into cover if you're close to it. The Bow seems to also go through enemies. In general, when aiming the Bow/Grenade launcher and when using bombs, I wish the camera would go up so you could see down and where exactly the grenade will land. Didn't have any crashes or disconnects. Had one freeze which I had to close the application and restart the game. Enjoyed the story and loved all the story (and side) missions. Definitely better than the original game. For me, as I just finished the second run and am waiting for next Friday, the game is an excellent 9.0/10. A few negatives but a huge improvement over the original in nearly every way.

Not sure if this needs to be spoilered but it does involve end game stuff

I haven’t tried the sniper but the grenade launcher does crazy damage. I can take out hunters in WT 5 with one body shot. You gotta work your way through the tree to add damage to it and you can add more explosive damage through your build.

I started the crossbow build tonight and it seems decent. I’m not far into the tree though since it’s harder to come by points for your second specialization.

The grenade launcher does do a good amount of damage but like with actual grenades and this is for games in general, I hate the further out you aim, the camera moves up towards the sky and you can't see exactly who you're hitting, if anyone. You have to be above enemies to get a better view.

I don't really use the crossbow but I keep it equipped because I want the bonuses for the assault rifle which is my primary weapon. I do like that you can respec at any time and for each specialization individually. I have 43 points put into the cross bow and 28 each for the other two.

I made it to World Tier 5 last night and went past the 425 required gear score for Tidal Basin. This way, im already set to go straight there unless there's added story/side missions. Play time is around 110 hours.

There's a lot a like in the end game and the depth of it all is insane. I do hope they patch some stuff though -

1. The special ammo should be loaded into the gun when the player wants to do so, not when you loot the crate.

2. Grenades should also have a quick menu or something like the first game. This and number one are two aspects that went backwards.

3. The supply amount needs to be increased from 250 or whatever they're set at. They should all be 999 limit. Early on, I was maxed out and had to keep leaving materials and resources behind. Now, after upgrading the crafting workbench, I have to scavenge again. I love resource gathering and all that stuff but not because I reached a maximum limit. The limit needs to be increased. Increasing the limit would also make me want to explore more because I then know that I would be a ways away from leaving anything behind due to hitting the limit.

4. Also, getting stuck sometimes because your character doesn't want to lift his foot is annoying as well. Sometimes, feels like there's an invisible wall and it's annoying and has killed me several times.

That's all that comes to mind right now. Sure there's more though. Still, an excellent game and im not someone who replays missions/games/etc. so for me to play through the invaded story missions and keep playing says how great the end game and game itself is.

Re: The Division 2

Questions for you experts on here:

1. Where can I get a good amount of titanium from ? I rarely get it and when I get a decent amount it is gone so fast because things being requiring such a good amount of it.

2. Where can I get the pink printer filament stuff ? I only have 1 of them and forgot where I got it but haven't received any since.

Re: The Division 2

You get the printer stuff from deconstructing mods.

Re: The Division 2

Alright, ignore my previous post from last night. First, I was wrong, it was Royce who I was struggling with, not Rebound. Got the names mixed up. And after trying again today, I was able to kill him. I crafted new guns equal to my level and with higher damage, had some better gear that upped my health and armor and added damage bonuses for both weapons and against elites. And finally I did all the other side missions in Downtown West and liberated the district before going back and attempting the bank mission again, so I actually ended up being level 22 before I reattempted it.

I also changed my strategy. Instead of trying to kill the others first so I eliminate as much of the incoming gunfire as possible and then focus on Royce, I ignored everyone else (except the snipers and grenade douches) and focused all of my firepower 100% on Royce right from the beginning, only shifting my aim if someone else got too close for comfort. Doing that, I had Royce mowed down in probably less than two minutes from the time he appeared and he actually never even got the chance to approach where I was taking cover as I just kept unloading clip after clip into his face until I finally broke his armor and killed him with the assist of an explosive RC car, courtesy of a Hyena Controller, that I shot and blew up right next to Royce.

So I got over my hurdle from last night and am moving forward. Now level 23 and moving on next to Constitution Hall. Slowly but gradually clearing the map.

Re: The Division 2

This doesn't have much to do with this game, but I got the chance to squad up with Mighty Mouse off stream and we completed a few missions on this game. Holy ****, I was starstruck, I have never sweat that much while chatting and playing a game lol.

Re: The Division 2

Well, just had my first run-in with a dust storm. And right as I was approaching the bounty to liberate Constitution Hall. That made for an interesting battle when you can't see **** more than one foot in front of your face.

Re: The Division 2

Finally bought this game and I'm enjoying it so far. Luckily with me being from here, there haven't been too many times where I've had to look at the map to get to where I need to go, lol.

I've been able to go thru the first few missions solo(I'm only on Level 3-4 right now)but I can definitely see that beyond that, I'll need to run with a few to actually have a chance in this game(Shocker, I know).

Re: The Division 2

Finally hit level 30. Time for some real fun.

Dust Storm??? Where were you on the map when this happened? I have had fog and rain storms but no dust storms.

Not true. I have played the entire game as a solo lone wolf and already prepared for Friday's update. Is it difficult and challenging? Absolutely. Impossible? Absolutely not.

I'll have to go and look tomorrow when I get on. I saved some pictures in the middle of it, it was nuts. The only time I've experienced it was that one time.

Funny because I've been enjoying myself just kind of running around and doing things leisurely - now I'm level 22 and am really trying to ramp up and get to 30 ASAP - as you said to start the real fun.

I truly am still enjoying this game, but I've realized that prior to level 30, slogging through the loot is more or less just a waste of time. So I'm just picking my favorite weapons and not thinking too hard about better gear, just equipping and moving on.

You did the strong holds solo? That does not sound fun at all. Especially when they ramp up to hard and challenging difficulty for the daily missions.

Yes, I did. Are you kidding? They were a lot of fun despite being repeats of what I already did. Played everything on story the first time through and now, everything on normal. Tried changing the difficulty level but nothing happens or pops up. I remember in the original Division, playing all the story missions on hard as I would select it before going into the mission. Tried the same here and it just doesn't. Maybe I have to replay it a third time? Even story difficulty doesn't appear. Just normal.

I'm having a lot of fun actually. Already have my gear level at 435 with the update tomorrow being 425 minimum. I'm already set. I wouldn't still be playing if I wasn't enjoying the game and having fun. Obviously, tomorrow is DLC content but barring it being a disaster which I can guarantee is just not going to happen, The Division 2 is an easy 9.0/10 for me.
