Great breakdown of the fundamentals man!! Tryin to see if I can get a friend of mine into it, but he's trying to stick with "newer" games, rather than games that have a more fleshed out world.?.. 😕🤷♂️. Best of luck with Mother Natures wrath however!! tropical storms can be no joke, for SURE!!😬
@@SmokeFriendzzz I honestly hate that attitude, it ruined fallout 76, more so than the shitty dev team, shitty publisher, and unrealistic promises made before release. Pvp is harder than fighting bots, so deserves a better reward system.
A fantastic video! I think I can use a couple of those hints...🤔 A tip that many don't notice, and you didn't mention: The chopper drops his rope exactly where you shoot your flare, so plan out where is a good spot in the extraction circle you want to extract. I prefer near readily available cover, and *not* out in the open where everyone and their second-cousin has an easy shot at you!😁
Another tip that a lot of players should know is to never leave the extraction zone before the helicopter. Even it its 2 or 3 seconds left, if someone begins to cut the rope, the helicopter won’t leave, even it the time runs out. Also, applying bleed or fire to the person cutting the rope, makes their progress stop for a few seconds
Glad to see you back, hope all is well with the family EDIT: OK, just finished the vid, good tips but you should be trimming the trees before hurricane season. It's still "winter" here(80deg is what we call winter) and I went all around the house checking anchors and bolts to hold the shutters down. This way I know that, if we get hit, I don't have to drill out and re-sink an anchor 5hr before the storm hits. Same with the mango tree, palm trees etc. Nothing near the roof and always maintain the shed's vent-fan because you need to store the gas in there. After the flood, you get hit with this... GOOD LUCK!
@@NGN You're still connected so it looks like you pulled through alright. Hurricanes can bring out the best and WORST in people. If most of the area is without power, do yourself a favor and keep your house dark at night. You don't want to be the one place lit up and attract unwanted attention. EDIT: This means porch lights, any pathway lights... if your neighbors don't have power then make yourself look the same. You don't want to draw attention when people get nasty after that first week or so.
The first one in a hundred years for some perspective, but most of the damges seen around nz were caused by flaqh floods, and almost every river burst its banks. Apologies for the long message. im a customer service worker who deals with 12v electrical items like solar and inverters, so I have had many linemen and emergency services through the past week so have a stupid amount of info on what damage has been caused
@@AlexWithington This was what I did for Red Cross, low voltage lighting, solar+battery banks and LOS mesh ntwk comms. Tell your people to avoid placing anything/one on or in structures along those river banks. In Haiti, the earthquake wreaked havoc on the foundations. Then the rains came and we lost people when the soil loosened and buildings collapsed. In a similar manner, a flash flood can cause slab foundations to tilt slightly and cause stress fractures in the walls of a building. The following rainstorm can wash away the soil, causing it to settle and collapse the building.
I'd say your best bet on dark zone build is blue core contractor gloves and fox prayer plus picaro holster and then you make it to the gun type you prefer with mask/vest/backpack - zero f's for a shotgun or Ridgeway plus backpack with wicked and sadist on weapon etc. Pretty easy to make Also - check builds of players killing you - can find some options for yourself
I have lvl expertise 12 and in most cases I can manage alone in Dz even 1v1 I don't really lose. I even kill those with lvl expertise 20 but if 2 or 3 come with lvl expertise 22 no chance. In vain I try to look at their builds if they have high expertise lvl. I don't know when they put this update with lvl expertise but it's all shit. I started playing again about 3 weeks ago and a lot has changed after 1 year and a half break.
@@mariustuca6221 same, the drops r so so so much better in the dz. Even running a heroic map you still get the worse drops. You on playstation? If so add me up man bob112233b we can run together. I despise these pvp ers. Soooooo many times I do a landmark and here they come to kill the boss then me. Heres a tip my buddy taught me. If u get an exotic or something good n ppl r around leave it on the ground remember where it's at or set a waypoint. It wont go ne where when u see them doing a manhunt on the other side of the map scoop it up and head to extraction
Best DZ intro video. Can't sum it up better, I both love and hate the DZ I am just not a good PVP player hence I won't play conflict, but there is something in trying to survive the DZ that is just appealing, as frustrating as it is to get killed from the back (and the rare occasion when I am jumped and actually still survive, that rush feeling is epic) Great video and happy farming
If you group up with randoms you don't even need to tell them if you got something good. There is a text chat option to see all group players loot. If they see something like EB getting looted then good luck not getting backstabbed at extraction.
I always enjoy doing the good ol misdirection tactic. Firing up a flare and calling an extraction and leaving. Sometimes, it allows me to slip away while others will go and colide with one another (rogues and strong NPC's), giving me the window to extract in another location.
I would say around 15 seconds left.. giving other players as much as little to no time to take your gear. I usually go into the dark zone for Exotic components.. sometimes I join a group of others and do 4 v 4.. it can be alot of fun and other times boring.. P.S. please, do a video on Paul Rodes and LMB/White Tusks connection.
Hey mate! Glad you're OK over there! You touched on something I've been talking about for a while. A PvE DZ. 3 DZs, 1 invaded, 1 regular and 1 PvE. Then, they rotate every week. I just want to see areas I haven't been able to explore and collect comms etc. Have landmarks being heroic or legendary, so it'll not be easy. Take it easy and stay safe!!
We really need a pve darkzone with high level enemies , rogues , and hunters. I know people say no but having wont hurt the darzone already cause the people who arent going in their wont any ways.
@@theulmateunit648 so then what’s the point of the dark zone, the whole point is that it’s an area where other agents can go rogue and it’s a PvPvE area, if it wasn’t PvP then what’s the difference between the dz and other heroic missions and control points
Thanks for this. I haven't DZ farmed really since Div 1. I hope you and your family are OK. It looks nasty on the news. To get DZ resources Ipick up items and crush them, and they turn into DZ rescources that you have to extract. It's fast.
I liked the DZ in Div 1 because of the daily and weekly stuff. There was more incentive to just farm and to just join in groups unless someone had just that ONE gear you needed rolled just right. They got rid of that incentive as well as not adding much incentive to go rogue except for, again, that one piece of gear you REALLY need or to just be sweaty and insufferable which is enough incentive for some, but also pretty telling..
Went in the DZ for the 1st time. The 2 other guys helped me grow 12 levels. But then folks started being try hards & yeah you know how that went. I just wanted to level up. Didn't care too much for gear TBH.
Ha, just watched this vid and saw some names of rogues I am familiar with being a fellow OCE (Kiwi) drifter myself. Bumped into Rayman Legend the other day, cleared a couple of landmarks and while I wasn't looking got completely blindsided hahahah. Lesson, learned. Hopefully I'll see you round!
One bad experience i had that got me to stop roaming the DZ was caused by a player who shredded me in seconds and his health was extremely high. I barely did any damage to the first block of armor. Extremely high risk for some kind of reward.
In my experience (or in my region), people gone rogue only for the rogue timer exp and rarely for pvp. once in a while they'll show up on the kill feed and the ONLY rogue I came across explicitly saying "no fight" when I try to shoot at him.
Sometimes I’ll mess around in the DZ with my Protection from Elites build. Getting shot at from all the yellows is laughable that I always run towards them to break off a Rogue from chasing me.
Before The Division 1 I always go to dark zones now the divison 2 I have the build and the skill to go their but I still go out empty handed, it might be my skill issue or Im not just good anymore in the dark zone
These were great tips for a newb like me. Thank you! By the way, here at 5:48 , do I need the ultimate version of the game for that lvl30 boost you mentioned?
If you there’s a drop that you want and don’t feel comfortable collecting it or extracting it 11:19 right away, just leave it there. It’ll stay there as long as you don’t fast travel.
Honestly I want them to keep pve and pvp COMPLETELY separate in Division 3. As in just make the dark zone with more difficult, or more numerous, npc’s and keep pvp a separate mode in the game altogether.
Good video as for your area have a few friends there some got hit hard some barely got hit or so they say. Cyclones are more dangerous than hurricanes due to how they are rare and they hit like a tornado where it's small but focused compared to a hurricane that hits a large area and moves in one direction. Heads up though cyclones are going to start hitting places like NZ they also have started to touch West coastline on the USA borders which means mexico and canada can also encounter this on the western side. For those further south next to the Equator don't know if a cyclone will hit you but let's face it mother nature is changing. Everyone look out for each other nature will beat us down if we aren't careful and prepared and sure we should have self preservation but strength in numbers is better than lone wolfing it. For cyclones keep in mind what is around you such as trees and buildings as well as cars if it's not bolted to the ground or welded to the ground it can be picked up and what comes up comes down. Try to also keep in mind on where your water sources are locally and how to find and treat water so it's clean to drink. Keep in mind the big 3's 3 minutes without air 3 days without water 3 weeks without food all signs that your about to cross over to the otherside if not solved. Learn basic first aid never know when you will need to apply a bandage on a wound for example or how to clean a wound to avoid bacterial infections.
Cyclones, hurricanes, and typhoons are the exact same thing. The different names are relative to which hemisphere and direction the storm is rotating (clockwise or counter-clockwise).
This necessarily it’s true level 30 DZ’s aren’t empty. There are level 30 try hard rouge agents. They can’t cut it in the normal DZ so they stay at level 30.
I went in solo as lvl 270 shd, and It took me like an hour to farm 10 to 15 dz credits got killed again and again by rogues but they never took my loot and then when I was extracting, just as I was putting my loot onto the helo some random turned rogue killed me cut the rope and just took away everything, felt so useless and frustrated lying dead there. Sigh
I’ve actually still been trying to get the achievement for extracting an item from each DZ. I only need the bottom zones and I might even get an exotic from the new update 😂
Thanks for your time and very informative video. My SHD level is over 8900 and I still find that you and Sgt. Graybeards info continues to enhance my overall gaming experience. Prayers to you and your family 🙏🏾
I have such a hard time in the dark zones bc I literally have never once came across a player that didn't attack me. Its like theres literally no good ppl left in this game
There are still good players in the game. I never turn rogue, sometimes I get in groups and all the sudden they (we) turn rogue, I don’t like them shooting people in the back, actually last week I didn’t shoot the other guy and ended dead because I stood in front of him and didn’t shoot. Played with people, cleared cp’s, done extractions with no problem but yes I got shot in the back clearing control points and stuff like that too, that is what makes adrenaline rush up. I played with some strangers, they asked if I was looking for something particular, I said dark winter, in the he dropped a dark winter for me, yesterday I gave a Scorpio to an young lad that i played with, gave bleed chest to another guy, gave a bunch of stuff to people i play with, sometimes i go to extractions empty handed just to be backup and defend against rogues not knowing if the guy I’m going to help is going to kill me. i do what i think that all should do, which is help and share. I don’t bother no more about dying in the dz.
@@flowinnature8235 There might be good players left but their just incredibly hard to come by these days. I think in the last 3 years of playing I've ran into a couple good players that just didn't immediately open fire on me. Shoot just last week while I was just trying to farm this guy and his buddy came up to me asked if I needed some help, I said sure but they never invited me into their group, should have been the 1st red flag for me. But pressed on and they "helped" me all the way until I went and called an extraction. They waited until I put my loot on the rope then they killed me and cut my loot off. 99% of the other times ppl unload on me on sight while I'm just trying to run past them. So yeah good players might still be out there but their incredibly rare at this point. Finding a good player in the DZs these days is like finding Bigfoot
@@Voltage256 i understand you very well but i got a few opposite experiences too, i stumbled upon some people that don’t shoot people in the back nor turn rogue to steal. But yeah got my share of deaths to the type of people that you talk about. 👍
That was the biggest let down for me with Division 2, they divided the DZ instead of having it be one massive map like Division 1. I damn near lived in the DZ in D1.
I have two friends who are new to the game and want to try DZ but I’ve been hesitant to bring them in cause we are in EST so lots of active players and frankly the DZ just isn’t lucrative when weighed against all the rogues
Few weeks ago, just farm in DZ. I notice someone was following me, sudden he try to kill me... for some luck one npc came out from spawning spot and block the bullets. As I killed him. Few minutes later, he bring one guy to kill me, but in the end I killed both of them due to npc block their butter again.... I notice he bring a gang coming, again!!! I just ran and meet with my clan member, in the end we won😅 Like he says, don't trust anyone if you are solo DZ
i know its been liuke 3 months but as i havent played since we started hunting the hunters in the base game of D2 i wonder. is the darkzone really worth the grind ?
I just got into the game, i see theres a new season coming up, i wanted to get leveled up and complete season 10 to get that ERROR mask. Will i have time? As well, once a season is over will the cosmetics associated with that season be sold in the store or are they gone forever?
U don't have time unless u feel like grinding your ass off 😂. Now will it be available idk I've had this game for yrs and I BARELY played it but so far I know of no u cant.
PvP in the dark zone is fun and rewarding and not that hard to get the hang of tbh. Just have a decent dps build and a buddy to watch your back and have fun.
When I just want to clear landmarks I find a DZ that has a manhunt. The PvP players will be drawn to that and I just stay away from it but usually get left alone.
I left TD2 for a year, because I got tired of relentless farming and NEVER seeing exotic drops. Well, I have grinded DZ relentlessly since S11 started and have not seen any exotic drops. 11 hours yesterday, 8 hours the day before etc etc. Every day. I think i'm done, again. The DZ was already toxic trash. Now it is unbearable toxic trash. Overly established players in packs simply to deny extractions and kill every player, not even for loot.. Just because If anything, it encouraged me to buy Destiny 2's Lightfall DLC.
They should make a couplr dark zone area exclusive for farming only its annoying when as soon as I come out the checkpoint the sweats that team up outside every checkpoint just keep spawn killing you or when ur clearing out land marks one of the reasons why I hate the dz.
I never got to play division cause I have a potato pc, but I do plan on playing resurgence on my mobile device so hopefully all these apply to the dark zone in resurgence
You can play it on a 10yr old 8350 with a 580 that has 3 60mm fans ziptied to the GPU to cool it in a 15yr old Centurion case... it won't run 1440p but it will be more than sufficient for 1080. Those are the specs of the kludged together PC I had to fall back on for a few years after dropping my 2700X rig (moving, coconut fell and I dropped it) and only just built a new one ~6wk back. You can get an 8320 for ~$50, build it out from there. Yeah, it's a dead-end PC but it'll get you gaming and it's either that, a console (nothing wrong there IMO) or build for today's PCs and blow $$$ on DDR5 Your biggest issue is internet connectivity. If the router is in another room, you can use a hole saw to run the patch cable through. Save the cut-out CAREFULLY so you can pop it back in and patch it when you move.
@Mr_NGN yea hey mate thanks a lot but the thing is which im pissed about is that im at boarding school and cant have the ps5 so someone else might be able to get and it not be wasted on me as i cant have it pls my chance to someone else also thanks
@@gazmagames904 aside from fighting others there isn't any point of the DZ. Sure the extremely low chance of raid exotics, but other than that the gear is no better than LZ gear. PvP in this game is trash. Expertise made it worse. Instead of skill as long as you shitbucket the game 24/7 you dont need "skill"
the funny thing is im a rat in the DZ i have a build where i can't be spoted on the scaner and ill pop rouge on you if i think you are going to do it to me
So what happened to us getting both a PvE and a separate pvp dark zones like was what's promised at launch?...oh yeah Ubisoft lots of promise no deliveries
the two exotics in the dz arent enough to make me want to go there, i dont see any point as there are many other ways to make other currencies for caches and level up quicker, besides its just a weird toxicity found in the dz, bunch of wannabees in a pve base game, probably cant do that well in other game, and theres no matchmaking at all.
Reporting cheaters is useless. Ubisoft is not doing anything about that issue. Me, my friends and everyone I know in this game have repeatedly reported players with video evidence of how they were cheating and the cheaters are still in the game. Some of them even admitted openly that they are cheating since game release and they didn't got banned. My friends and I encounter cheaters on a daily basis and they all use cronus zen with various scripts for aimbot, rpm etc. There are certain clans who sell those cronus zen.
This is far more dangerous than dark zone in division 1. Dark zone was like my home in Division 1 but never felt that much threatened the best way to survive is act like someone who has no good loot

Hi just a quick question what’s the ar you use and where I can find it
I got all my triple god rolls in the DZ. Best place to farm
@@richardbreakin163 it's just the standard FAMAS assault rifle. The awesome rate of fire gives amazing burst damage. Definitely one of my favorites
@@NGN thx man have a great day
Note on the level 30 DZ, any exotics you pick up can be converted to level 40 at the crafting station.
This looks like the best way to farm then thanks for the tip. If the game had a PVP toggle this would not be a issue.
I mean it is a pvp zone so u should know what the trade is for the good loot
Thanks for the info:)
Thank you for this comment
@@SmokeFriendzzz I honestly hate that attitude, it ruined fallout 76, more so than the shitty dev team, shitty publisher, and unrealistic promises made before release. Pvp is harder than fighting bots, so deserves a better reward system.

Hey! I love your videos. Your Division lore videos are amazing!
7:45 sounds blindingly obvious but I've learnt something new today. Cheers mate
I liked the DZ in Div 1 because of the daily and weekly stuff. There was more incentive to just farm and to just join in groups unless someone had just that ONE gear you needed rolled just right. They got rid of that incentive as well as not adding much incentive to go rogue except for, again, that one piece of gear you REALLY need or to just be sweaty and insufferable which is enough incentive for some, but also pretty telling..
ROTFL
Yes bruv this Div 2 darkzone has been extra Sweaty lately
Put Trust With Your Friends & Dont Trust Anyone.
Respect from the OCE DZ players for the cameo in today's video 👍
You know how many times I had to stand around like an idiot getting shot at, until someone would give me the 2 seconds of "being pulsed" footage 😅

Oh I get destroyed in the DZ, but I go in there expecting it haha.
I'll keep an eye out for you!
@@NGN Likewise! ScorchNZ is my ingame
I learned the hard way. I got invited to a group and they are very friendly just to kill me at the end and get my loot.
That's the thing right there... knowing where to run is key!!!
Subscribed and followed with bell, awesome guide mate thank you
One bad experience i had that got me to stop roaming the DZ was caused by a player who shredded me in seconds and his health was extremely high. I barely did any damage to the first block of armor.
Extremely high risk for some kind of reward.
The Expertise System broke PvP. I could replicate the other guy’s build, but if he maxed out his gear, I’ll lose every single time.
The issue with loot in the dz is it’s not worth fighting for at least for me
In my experience (or in my region), people gone rogue only for the rogue timer exp and rarely for pvp. once in a while they'll show up on the kill feed and the ONLY rogue I came across explicitly saying "no fight" when I try to shoot at him.
Use a anti pulse build, you can escape rouges easily. If you want to avoid fighting. Or sneak them and surprise them 😂
Sometimes I’ll mess around in the DZ with my Protection from Elites build. Getting shot at from all the yellows is laughable that I always run towards them to break off a Rogue from chasing me.
Maybe the most important part in this video was the incentive to keep calmly pushing on. Thanks!
Thanks for the tips!

These were great tips for a newb like me. Thank you! By the way, here at 5:48 , do I need the ultimate version of the game for that lvl30 boost you mentioned?
You can buy it standalone in the shop, or if you have WONY you get infinite uses of them
If you there’s a drop that you want and don’t feel comfortable collecting it or extracting it 11:19 right away, just leave it there. It’ll stay there as long as you don’t fast travel.
Honestly I want them to keep pve and pvp COMPLETELY separate in Division 3. As in just make the dark zone with more difficult, or more numerous, npc’s and keep pvp a separate mode in the game altogether.
I completely agree with you.
Nice one mate. Are there many clan's in NZ? I'm in the South Island.
Good video as for your area have a few friends there some got hit hard some barely got hit or so they say. Cyclones are more dangerous than hurricanes due to how they are rare and they hit like a tornado where it's small but focused compared to a hurricane that hits a large area and moves in one direction. Heads up though cyclones are going to start hitting places like NZ they also have started to touch West coastline on the USA borders which means mexico and canada can also encounter this on the western side. For those further south next to the Equator don't know if a cyclone will hit you but let's face it mother nature is changing. Everyone look out for each other nature will beat us down if we aren't careful and prepared and sure we should have self preservation but strength in numbers is better than lone wolfing it. For cyclones keep in mind what is around you such as trees and buildings as well as cars if it's not bolted to the ground or welded to the ground it can be picked up and what comes up comes down. Try to also keep in mind on where your water sources are locally and how to find and treat water so it's clean to drink. Keep in mind the big 3's 3 minutes without air 3 days without water 3 weeks without food all signs that your about to cross over to the otherside if not solved. Learn basic first aid never know when you will need to apply a bandage on a wound for example or how to clean a wound to avoid bacterial infections.
Cyclones, hurricanes, and typhoons are the exact same thing. The different names are relative to which hemisphere and direction the storm is rotating (clockwise or counter-clockwise).
@@SpiritHawk7 cyclones can hit further inland and tend to act as if destructive as a tornado
This necessarily it’s true level 30 DZ’s aren’t empty. There are level 30 try hard rouge agents. They can’t cut it in the normal DZ so they stay at level 30.
I went in solo as lvl 270 shd, and It took me like an hour to farm 10 to 15 dz credits got killed again and again by rogues but they never took my loot and then when I was extracting, just as I was putting my loot onto the helo some random turned rogue killed me cut the rope and just took away everything, felt so useless and frustrated lying dead there. Sigh
as the author of this guide pointed, just make a new char , stay at lvl30 and farm tones of DZ coins in peace !
Love the guide!
I’ve actually still been trying to get the achievement for extracting an item from each DZ. I only need the bottom zones and I might even get an exotic from the new update 😂
Thanks for the heads up on the achievement for extracting from all 3 zones, I’ll go for this myself now that I know it’s a thing 😉.
Thanks for your time and very informative video. My SHD level is over 8900 and I still find that you and Sgt. Graybeards info continues to enhance my overall gaming experience. Prayers to you and your family 🙏🏾
Watch levels are irrelevant, with all the XP exploits you definitely used 😂
I have such a hard time in the dark zones bc I literally have never once came across a player that didn't attack me. Its like theres literally no good ppl left in this game
There are still good players in the game.
I never turn rogue, sometimes I get in groups and all the sudden they (we) turn rogue, I don’t like them shooting people in the back, actually last week I didn’t shoot the other guy and ended dead because I stood in front of him and didn’t shoot.
Played with people, cleared cp’s, done extractions with no problem but yes I got shot in the back clearing control points and stuff like that too, that is what makes adrenaline rush up.
I played with some strangers, they asked if I was looking for something particular, I said dark winter, in the he dropped a dark winter for me, yesterday I gave a Scorpio to an young lad that i played with, gave bleed chest to another guy, gave a bunch of stuff to people i play with, sometimes i go to extractions empty handed just to be backup and defend against rogues not knowing if the guy I’m going to help is going to kill me.
i do what i think that all should do, which is help and share.
I don’t bother no more about dying in the dz.
@@flowinnature8235 There might be good players left but their just incredibly hard to come by these days. I think in the last 3 years of playing I've ran into a couple good players that just didn't immediately open fire on me. Shoot just last week while I was just trying to farm this guy and his buddy came up to me asked if I needed some help, I said sure but they never invited me into their group, should have been the 1st red flag for me. But pressed on and they "helped" me all the way until I went and called an extraction. They waited until I put my loot on the rope then they killed me and cut my loot off. 99% of the other times ppl unload on me on sight while I'm just trying to run past them. So yeah good players might still be out there but their incredibly rare at this point. Finding a good player in the DZs these days is like finding Bigfoot
@@Voltage256 i understand you very well but i got a few opposite experiences too, i stumbled upon some people that don’t shoot people in the back nor turn rogue to steal.
But yeah got my share of deaths to the type of people that you talk about. 👍
Me: Oh look I found a Pestilense LMG!!!
My friend: Oh look, you found MY Pestilense LMG....
That was the biggest let down for me with Division 2, they divided the DZ instead of having it be one massive map like Division 1. I damn near lived in the DZ in D1.
I have two friends who are new to the game and want to try DZ but I’ve been hesitant to bring them in cause we are in EST so lots of active players and frankly the DZ just isn’t lucrative when weighed against all the rogues
Few weeks ago, just farm in DZ.
I notice someone was following me, sudden he try to kill me...
for some luck one npc came out from spawning spot and block the bullets.
As I killed him.
Few minutes later, he bring one guy to kill me, but in the end I killed both of them due to npc block their butter again....
I notice he bring a gang coming, again!!!
I just ran and meet with my clan member, in the end we won😅
Like he says, don't trust anyone if you are solo DZ
i know its been liuke 3 months but as i havent played since we started hunting the hunters in the base game of D2 i wonder. is the darkzone really worth the grind ?
I just got into the game, i see theres a new season coming up, i wanted to get leveled up and complete season 10 to get that ERROR mask. Will i have time? As well, once a season is over will the cosmetics associated with that season be sold in the store or are they gone forever?
U don't have time unless u feel like grinding your ass off 😂. Now will it be available idk I've had this game for yrs and I BARELY played it but so far I know of no u cant.
Thanks u so much it really help🙏
PvP in the dark zone is fun and rewarding and not that hard to get the hang of tbh. Just have a decent dps build and a buddy to watch your back and have fun.
When I just want to clear landmarks I find a DZ that has a manhunt. The PvP players will be drawn to that and I just stay away from it but usually get left alone.
Is the raid weapons already in the DZ? Or is it still in a future update yet to come?
Coming out in the next update. Only 2 of them.
@@NGN Thx for the update I thought it was already out, you saved me from going in there and grinding hours for something that doesn't exist yet lol.
If you do that 30lvl DZ, get some exotics yeah, you should be able to upgrade them to level 40 eventually no ?
I left TD2 for a year, because I got tired of relentless farming and NEVER seeing exotic drops. Well, I have grinded DZ relentlessly since S11 started and have not seen any exotic drops. 11 hours yesterday, 8 hours the day before etc etc. Every day. I think i'm done, again. The DZ was already toxic trash. Now it is unbearable toxic trash. Overly established players in packs simply to deny extractions and kill every player, not even for loot.. Just because
If anything, it encouraged me to buy Destiny 2's Lightfall DLC.
me seeing a rouge squad that doesn't see me yet: kaboom? yes reaco kaboom
They should make a couplr dark zone area exclusive for farming only its annoying when as soon as I come out the checkpoint the sweats that team up outside every checkpoint just keep spawn killing you or when ur clearing out land marks one of the reasons why I hate the dz.
My Dude, did You checked out that Metro Exodus trailer I mentioned some time ago? 😏
WOW, Thanks.
what if u already own both weapons? Whats the point farming
Either don't go in there or help somebody farm 🤷😂.
Tip for Division 2 dark Zones try to make some friends that you can trust to what you back
I never got to play division cause I have a potato pc, but I do plan on playing resurgence on my mobile device so hopefully all these apply to the dark zone in resurgence
You can play it on a 10yr old 8350 with a 580 that has 3 60mm fans ziptied to the GPU to cool it in a 15yr old Centurion case... it won't run 1440p but it will be more than sufficient for 1080. Those are the specs of the kludged together PC I had to fall back on for a few years after dropping my 2700X rig (moving, coconut fell and I dropped it) and only just built a new one ~6wk back. You can get an 8320 for ~$50, build it out from there. Yeah, it's a dead-end PC but it'll get you gaming and it's either that, a console (nothing wrong there IMO) or build for today's PCs and blow $$$ on DDR5
Your biggest issue is internet connectivity. If the router is in another room, you can use a hole saw to run the patch cable through. Save the cut-out CAREFULLY so you can pop it back in and patch it when you move.
wait if you die do you lose the gear you entered the darkzone with or only the gear you picked up in the darkzone
got the game for christmas
@Mr_NGN yea hey mate thanks a lot but the thing is which im pissed about is that im at boarding school and cant have the ps5 so someone else might be able to get and it not be wasted on me as i cant have it pls my chance to someone else
also thanks
Sorry mate, I seem to have been targeted by spam bots. I'm trying to resolve this as we speak!!
A dz pve zone would be fun, exploring something new without being constantly ganked
But would ruin the whole point of the dark zone
@@gazmagames904 aside from fighting others there isn't any point of the DZ. Sure the extremely low chance of raid exotics, but other than that the gear is no better than LZ gear. PvP in this game is trash. Expertise made it worse. Instead of skill as long as you shitbucket the game 24/7 you dont need "skill"
@@H56Nooc there is a lot of good gear you can get from the dz, matador, dark winter, apartment
Level 30 dark zone eh... Could be comething to do when I've done everything else
I guess is time for me to hop on dz now
I might have to actually go farm the DZ now
the funny thing is im a rat in the DZ i have a build where i can't be spoted on the scaner and ill pop rouge on you if i think you are going to do it to me
Nice Video
Joe ferros song?
Go into the DZ with a lvl40 hardcore if you really want the good stuff without hustle... Reaching lvl40 is the hustle though
I've tried this level 30 method and it doesn't work.
There used to be a way for having a solo dz but they already patch it
Are we getting season 11?
Rumour central is the game is finished
Yeah season 11 is definitely coming
Ive only been to the DZ a couple of times, and most of the times Iv been gunned downed by rouges..
"The way you react"
Alt f4
Dark Zones suck so bad in Division 2 in Division 1 dark zone was one large one and it reduce chance of run in to fill team
Your voice makes this sound like a horror movie. Lol.
Be safe, NGN.
"Trust no one"...me and my clan will pick up agents then flag up to get an easy first kill. Listen to this man 😂.
I want a PVE DZ personally. I don't care for the PVP in the game or D1. If I want PVP ill play BF, CoD, or better yet.. APEX lol
So what happened to us getting both a PvE and a separate pvp dark zones like was what's promised at launch?...oh yeah Ubisoft lots of promise no deliveries
I don't recall them ever saying anything about a PvE Dark Zone.
Although technically the whole rest of the map is a PvE Dark Zone.
the two exotics in the dz arent enough to make me want to go there, i dont see any point as there are many other ways to make other currencies for caches and level up quicker, besides its just a weird toxicity found in the dz, bunch of wannabees in a pve base game, probably cant do that well in other game, and theres no matchmaking at all.
Imagine a breach on the house happens during the recording and you just here him loose it
@Mr_NGN LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
@Mr_NGN I know you are definitely not a scammer
Yeah sorry mate, I'm trying to sort this!
@@NGN oh sh!t, you actually respond to comments, I am honoured
@@NGN hey keep up the good work, your content is amazing. Also I hope you and your family well
YES
Reporting cheaters is useless. Ubisoft is not doing anything about that issue. Me, my friends and everyone I know in this game have repeatedly reported players with video evidence of how they were cheating and the cheaters are still in the game. Some of them even admitted openly that they are cheating since game release and they didn't got banned. My friends and I encounter cheaters on a daily basis and they all use cronus zen with various scripts for aimbot, rpm etc. There are certain clans who sell those cronus zen.
This is far more dangerous than dark zone in division 1. Dark zone was like my home in Division 1 but never felt that much threatened the best way to survive is act like someone who has no good loot
