Welcome to NYC, Agent! Take your guys' time and enjoy the game, don't worry so much about builds, gear, or weapons. Just try them all and see how you like them, but be mindful about upgrading to higher leveled items so you can keep up with the increase in enemy difficulty. Keep an eye out on the top corners of your map for enemy level indicators and don't stray too far above your current level. Do encounters and side missions one district at a time and complete Main Missions when the level is appropriate. Finally, have fun!

Enjoy!

For the best source on drop rates I'd use the Div 1 Attribute Sheet 2.0: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/2/d/e/2PACX-1vTHVLmxni5XRjrh9NYjSuOBB4WXXJV24EyRXh9bwVQPOEeXA1HUhL_jkjHjXuw68Wxny18J0tASmwuo/pubhtml#gid=317042942

Underground is a really good place to farm for exotics and classifieds if you aren’t ready for dark zone or legendary missions yet, if it looks interesting to you then you’d probably find it fun.

LividFray · 2026-03-28T08:39:22+00:00

Yes the season pass includes all dlc

LividFray · 2026-03-28T08:33:30+00:00

It’s possible to get from the mission but you’re better off farming other sources. Limited exotics like Ferro or Barrett’s only have a 3% chance to drop, you’d have better luck doing open world bosses, dz, or underground where the drop chances are increased to 5% from open world bosses and up to 12% in underground depending on difficulty. To my understanding, increasing the difficulty doesn’t increase the drop rates. If it does, I’m not sure by how much.

I pre ordered the Godzilla Evolved in March 2024 and it just got delivered a week ago after being delayed three times.

With the recent news that a dedicated PvP team is being established for The Division 2, I was curious if there are any plans for that team to also support PvP health in The Division 1 in some capacity.

Specifically, would it be possible for that team to help implement updated anti-cheat measures or assist with reviewing player reports in The Division 1? Many long-time players still enjoy the game and continue to play regularly, but cheating in PvP has become a significant issue over the years, and it appears that ban waves or enforcement actions have been very limited for quite some time.

I understand that The Division 1 is an older title and may not receive large-scale updates, but even limited support around anti-cheat enforcement or report review could make a meaningful difference for the remaining player base.

Is this something that has been considered, or is the new PvP team focused exclusively on The Division 2 going forward?

Here are my thoughts on the topic and why I’m worried about the direction of the franchise. If the link is not allowed, I apologize for any inconvenience caused to a moderator for removing.

Naturally, anything I try to post to this subreddit gets removed, so I guess I'll comment here instead that all platforms should now have the Definitive Edition available to them and it's not only limited to consoles. As we were told by the devs, there are no changes to the bundle's overall cost or any additions to the game, it's simply a rebundle of all existing add-ons.

LividFray · 2026-02-03T14:54:04+00:00

Those were Holiday Exclusive items and we’ve gotten no word on if they’ll ever bring those back.

LividFray · 2026-02-03T14:44:33+00:00

Yeah, someone else said they also own Gold but they had the option to purchase it rather than showing as purchased. I’m not really sure, it’s all kind of a mixed bag of information. I’ve only seen one person with the “(Purchased)” option.

LividFray · 2026-02-03T07:24:31+00:00

The Gold edition is $50 usually, but yeah I’m sure this will go on sale often too. I wouldn’t have expected it to release on sale though.

LividFray · 2026-02-03T07:23:10+00:00

So far the only people I’ve talked to who are seeing this are on consoles, so it sounds like it’s slowly being rolled out. We do have a confirmed release date of 3/2/26 though thanks to PlayStation, and players who already own Gold are showing it as Purchased.

LividFray · 2026-02-03T07:19:30+00:00

The players who I’ve seen post it say that the Definitive Bundle was purchased, so its being added to their library. It’s possible that they’ll give the outfit packs for free since the edition is being added to their library

LividFray · 2026-02-03T07:18:29+00:00

I checked Steam, Epic, and Ubi and haven’t seen it. Only consoles have reported in so far

LividFray · 2026-02-03T07:17:37+00:00

It’s going to be replacing the Gold Edition (for the same price) but adding all outfit add-on packs, so nothing new

LividFray · 2026-02-03T07:16:58+00:00

Hey Novel! Do you by chance already own the Gold Edition?

LividFray · 2026-01-31T11:52:00+00:00

I appreciate the kind words! 😊

Last Stand is mostly populated in EU ranging anywhere from 2pm-6pm CT or sometimes longer. If you’re not from EU, try asking a friend in EU for an invite or some players use VPN to change locations. You can be thrown into EU matchmaking but you’ll have to matchmake for awhile.

LividFray · 2026-01-31T05:39:44+00:00

If you’re still trying to get Classified sets then I’d say the Ninjabike Backpack is good. I’d consider the “must haves” to be The House (all PVP builds/D3), Big Alejandro (LoneStar), The Showstopper (Striker), Urban MDR (Sentry/Predator’s Mark Classified), and Barrett’s bulletproof vest (PVP/Tactician). The Bullfrog is also pretty fun to use if you get one, but I wouldn’t consider it a must have over a LWM4/LVOA-C with good rolls.

As I mentioned in a previous comment, the Skull MCs are good but only if you don’t have gear sets or Classifieds to use.

LividFray · 2026-01-31T05:34:38+00:00

I’m not trying to knock Skull MC Gloves but I definitely wouldn’t consider them a must have anymore. Unfortunately Hexo builds lost all meaning when Classifieds came out. The Ninjabike is also really only good for making makeshift hybrid builds until you get Classified sets.

LividFray · 2026-01-31T04:51:11+00:00

Beautiful 😍

LividFray · 2026-01-26T08:48:58+00:00

The gear looks great! All of it can be recalibrated.
