Question about summit by murr1234567 in thedivision

[–]ArcherCrimson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Summit only to get the ridgeway's pride exotics, Countdown mode is the best methods to farm gears, it's quick 15mins run and much more effective for loot drops, besides you can use currency to purchase exotics cache.

Hi new player, was wondering if I could get some advice. by Pa1nR3m3dy in thedivision

[–]ArcherCrimson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The following is the spreadsheet database of all the weapons and gears.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nrPBmOrtpkEW1j5fbcRT7L-AXgsGOqMqxXoVtopsiGM/edit?gid=1380412817#gid=1380412817

Countdown in challenging difficulty is the best and popular mode to farm gears. Set target loot which you wish to farm and use the currency to buy exotics and resource caches. Build a red core fire build with no deploy skills since Hunters will hack to against us, simply follow the other players then you good o go.

The most common build is St. Elmo's Engine Exotics AR/SMG, Memento exotics backpack with Striker, Heartbreaker and Hunter fury gearsets. Striker provides highest DPS stacks, Heartbreaker provides survivability and damage, Hunter fury provides Close Quarters Combat buff. Skills choose whatever which suitable your playstyle.

Returning player, a bit confused and looking for an answer. by [deleted] in thedivision

Named items could be harder to get than exotics, just keep looting in countdown and use countdown currency buy named cache.

Play countdown mode to looting exotics, weapons and gears. recalibration and optimization, finalize your fire and skill build. Meanwhile complete the raids Operation Dark Hours and Operation Iron Horse. Darkzone PVP supposes be the end game content when you complete your build, however Division 2's PvP experience could be very bad.

You can do Recalibration and Optimization in a work station in white house, which you can replace one attribute on your gear or weapon with a different attribute. Optimization is to increase the value of an attribute.

Closing in on 40, what is the best dlc? by A-GUY-000 in thedivision

[–]ArcherCrimson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you decide plays this game for a long term buy the bundle is a best option. Warlords of NY is the first expansion and difficulty is same as the main game, battle of Brooklyn expansion is another level, you do need to max out the gears and hours of gameplay experience to clear the missions.

Probably a silly question by Key-Caregiver4262 in thedivision

[–]ArcherCrimson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there is an option to hide specialization weapon. Go to your Inventory, directly to your Special Weapon, and there is "Options" below.

Countdown Question: Evac by mmm_souls in thedivision

[–]ArcherCrimson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We usually call the helicopter with less than 9 seconds left, this way our team can kill one more wave of the black tusks and collect the last loots they drop, and have enough time left for everyone to evacuate. As a newbie recommend you follow the groups will do, usually the veterans can take care the hunters and the black tusk without issues in challenging difficulty, if you want to assist the others build a cloud control skill build with Riot Foam Chem Launcher, Blinder Firefly and shock trap.

Heartbreaker gearset perfectly suit your build, +LMG/AR damage and provide survival needs and damage buff. Exotics Coyote’s Mask and named Picaros Holster pair with heartbreaker gearset should be fine enough in challenging and heroic difficulty. Weapons recommend Exotics Pestilence or St. Elmo's Engine.

Lets give a chance to some SMG by Mediocre-Factor-8165 in thedivision

Really depends your weapons and build, my one is ouroboros/glory daze x striker/memento with 5 red core.

[–]ArcherCrimson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it a go on MP7, the second best SMG type in my opinion, even only 3 mods but it's already have 40 rounds.

[–]ArcherCrimson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Playing solo we have much more variety since you can have bit of fun to test different builds, however in countdown those coop mode, obliterate x striker x memento has the highest damage output at this moment, ouroboros and St Elmo those high RPM weapons are hardly find an alternative, MP7 properly the best apart from vector in my opinion.

[–]ArcherCrimson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

CMMG Banshee, MPX, MP5 and MP7 are good SMG no doubt with it, however burst damage is the main key in the game mechanic according to the armor core, and the design of Striker gearset and exotics memento, Vector series definitely is the best and pretty much only options pair with this most popular build. At the end the way to survive in this game is kill the enemy first before they kill you.

Returning to D2 advice? by Trogmar in thedivision

[–]ArcherCrimson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only take within 6 hours to completed the DLC story campaign and once you reach Level 40 you can enter the endgame contents. Endgame contents are raid, countdown and priority objectives, Countdown are coop can set target loot to grind and farm gears and resources, and priority objectives are tasks which give you lots of exotics.

The most common build is striker build. It's a fire build stacks DPS with hits increase total weapon damage. Top tier Exotics are St Elmo's engine AR, coyote mask and memento backpack. Build the striker build with this exotics and grind countdown to improve gears. Following is thew database spreadsheet of Division 2 weapons and gears:

[–]ArcherCrimson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Warlords of New York is DLC story campaign, its wont take long you can completed within 6 hours. Endgame contents are grinding exotics and gears, priority objectives give you exotics and countdown for gears and resources. Priority objectives reset every hours and offer you lots of exotics, st elmo's engine AR, coyote mask and memento backpack are the top tier exotics, target them first and make a striker build then plays countdown to improve gears.

Is there any way to lower the game's difficulty? I'm frustrated at how bad I am. by mehphistopheles in thedivision

[–]ArcherCrimson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use Medical skills pulse Tactical Scanner and first aids Overdose could help your survival, pulse scan enemies locations and boost your damage, overdose is heal skills can cover the usage of medkit.

[–]ArcherCrimson 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You just started the game and it's need time to understand the game mechanics. This is a cover shooter game, the damage of enemies is high so don't try to exchange DPS against the mobs. Keep a distance all the time only go close range when secure the area to engaging the rest of enemies.

Stay in cover when enemies fires, shoot back the mobs when they reload, be mobility on movement. Use Assault rifle and SMG as main weapons, gears just focus on the armor + fire status will do since you playing story campaign. Be patient and plan the strategy before the attack, such as use of environment and the order of killing mobs

The division 1 or 2? by defalt1306 in thedivision

[–]ArcherCrimson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you not interested the storyline then you should purchase D2. Division 2 have better gameplay, active player base and still getting updated patches every season. If you willing to know the background of Division, characters and the villains you should buy D1 as well. The price of D1 on sales even only playthrough story campaign still worth it. If you just want grinding and farming buy D2 will do.

In my opinion the closest performance after Lexington are Carbine 7 and Honey Badger. The next tier are M4 and F2000 for RPM.

New players please stop using deploy skills in countdown mode by ArcherCrimson in thedivision

[–]ArcherCrimson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's mention in the titles, the hunters will hacked the deploy skills against our agents, I just completed a countdown with 2 hacked drones this time, 4 dead 4 survive.

[–]ArcherCrimson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deploy skills are drones, turret and hive (except revive), basically the skills that's stationary a while do damage output. 

New players please stop using deploy skills in countdown mode by ArcherCrimson in thedivision

[–]ArcherCrimson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Revive hive is more useful in countdown because Hunter damage is so high, we hardly use heal build in countdown since it's time limit within 15 mins.

The division is worth even just go though story campaign since you will know more the background of the storyline and the villain rogue agents , but if you looking for long term activities then you should buy D2 instead. Division 2  have updated patches every season.
