@ Optimized and Braced make using the auto rifles much more tolerable, but I will still stay away from the Lightweight M4 and the ACR SS: Urban MDR, Sig 716 CQB and there is one other I think that are any good. But handling is an absolute must for those weapons.
The key is just knowing what rooms to absolutely stay away from, especially on the harder difficulties. Workshop, 3D Printing Lab, Security and EMP Lab are the worst. Especially in a 4 man group. It’s best to stay away from tiny rooms because its so easy to get overwhelmed. Focus on the larger rooms like Boilers and Combustion. Also Marksman Rifles are the best against the Nemesis. I had a loadout with the Model 700 paired with Optimist, Vigilance, Composure, Opportunistic, Trauma, and Eyeless. No joke, Nemesis was down in literally 15 seconds.
Don’t forget, Shield Splinterer & Hunter Killer were removed from the Descent blueprint pool. Cannot get those two anymore. Hopefully they will be put back in.
The main issue for me here is no resume possibility after for example disconnection or need longer break cause I can't play for a whole day for I need to attend real life stuff. :D
This was very helpful. Thanks, KVD! For me, I'm settling on the shotgun/rifle combo. With the talents you recommend, that's the combo that works for me.
Agreed on no skill builds, however I do have one exception which has been wildly entertaining to run, an oxidizer build on sloth, a fun challenge, especially the duel with nemesis that also has oxy
thanks for doing this update as i never really understood this game mode. Will give it another try after i have finished grinding out my Journey and manhunt 😂
I like playing this game mode but not having an oprion to save your progress is poor the furthest I have got is loop 25 solo the last time I played descent I was on loop 25 and was going to beat my best then I got kicked out and after playing for about 6 or 7 hours your kicked out and back to the start I played God of war ragnarok valhalla and you can suspend your progress and pick up where you left off that's what this game mode needs
I think when a player drops, another agent should be able to join into that players build, there should be a merge option so that teams with 2 can merge to make 4 at the same loop. More rooms.
Thanks Kami this give me a better tactic going into decent now i don't really like it but I'd like too beat it i made it too the nemesis once but he killed me so this gives me a better plan on how to beat him.
No save points and long in and out cinematic gets old pretty fast but still I like it for its crisp graphics and quiet background music track but can't find no one to join with, so for me its solo 90 percent of the time , if you get a good roll like a 12 gauge and striker drone your golden !
I close this mode every week with randoms with a maximum of 3 attempts. Of course, I prefer the days when there is a Bullet King, but there are no problems with other exotics either. I am more upset if the resurrection hive does not drop, then I have to do with foam and a hologram. And after Nemesis, I either have fun with an infinite machine gun with a huge rate of fire or make a one-shot build on the M870 shotgun.
The supply - stations also sell you a revivetoken. If you revive someone fully downed in groupplay you loose your revivetoken, that everyone is starting with 1 from start. I myself suggest killing all enemies, when possible, if one in team is fulldown, because this revives all downed agents without spending tokens.
I'm so bad at the game that I can't even really get past the first boss most of the time. I always either run out of ammo for my main with a weak sidearm or I get wiped by the enemies because they spawn out of the door right next to me and I don't notice because I'm focused on the other door
Tried it once, thought I was doing really good and was kinda digging it until I got to the first actual boss (nemesis?) and he straight up ran me down and mag dumped me in the face within the first few seconds of the fight. I can't think of anything I could have done differently, it was just over, I got curbstomped. Can't say I was in a hurry to try it again, the bullshit factor felt pretty high on that one. I guess I'll give it another go though, why not.
Tried again, since i had finished the seasons journey and got the new mask. YEAh! Well on Descent, I get a good smg but horrible talent choices,, or horrible gun choices and then i get descent talents..Looking forward to this video i guess..
at 31:12 could you have said to skip the skill? Also, at 35:25 I am not sure you explained why you don't want certain skills. Are these skills you are giving to the Nemesis, or taking for yourself?
@@Blasikov yea it’s rough starting out. Try starting with sticky bombs/chem launchers and going for dps talents on your first loop. Once you get your first exotic talent at the end of the first loop it gets a lot easier.
@@Halokrogg also it's worth the 5-6 loop grind, even if you die to the Nemesis b/c you can just keep buying talents and buffs for yourself. Increasing your BASE STATS!
Doesnt it make more sense to buy the buffs first before the other caches? I say that as ive been doing dewcent since its beginning for the comms and didnt have the choice of buying recon caches etc. I usually go with entrench preservation and efficient and only grab adreline rush when intimidate is in the pool.. also as weekend player that doesnt do pvp descent is how i got most of my blueprints..😊 Great video for new folks though
I know I'm a top-tier player. Yet Descent is MORE than humbling: it's humiliating. Since it launched, I've beaten the Nemesis ONCE. ONLY once. And I often die right around Loop 3-4, and I feel like I'm constantly wasting my time here. "The juice is not worth the squeeze". There's ZERO room for error. And all it takes is 2 Shotgun rushers coming at you from different angles, and you're done.
Took me a few days since the game mode debut to get used to Descent long before they changed the game mode to a "Deadly Sins" kind of layout. Me and my friend played Descent for the blueprints and the comms, but once again why is it that the devs have yet to fix the missing blueprints? i have already figured out which named items are the ones missing in my station (Born & Grown Great, Combustor, Carpenter, Proxy and Backbone).
Iam a level 23 solo div 2 player, on ps5. I didnt take to div 2 wen it first came out. But after recently reinstalling it, i ve found myself quite hooked on it. Went in dz last night, just to have a wander around, see wats wat. Found some loot from chests, tried to extract it, but got swarmed by extraction campers! Any tips on how to avoid other players, make myself less visible to other players??
Yea, somehow I always die almost at the end. And I can do it all over again. I hope they put in a safe point. Otherwise, I am not doing it again. But love the info so trying it out once to see if it helps me. Thx man
isn't it useless for skill that requires kills in nemesis phase ? skills like pummel, preservation, salvage. Because I thought there is no enemies to kill in nemesis area, except the nemesis and turrets. and turrets are dangerous enough
The idea of spending that much time and then dieing and losing, makes me question it being worth it, specially if i suck or make bad decisions in the fight.
Challenge: Complete the Descent killing the Nemesis with only a Pistol, no skills or talents, ie you need to skip and get the money, oh and no Exotic. Good Luck Agent.
You can get tdi kard custom from defeating nemesis

Tried it three times after watching this video, it gave me some motivation. Died three times in loop 1. Complete waste of time, absolutely frustrating because you get NOTHING out of it. I mean, If I would even get the smallest amount of Descent currency to grind out for the "helpers" at Wally's store... I see absolutely no progress, the whole mode just depends on luck, i.e. the choices for weapons you get, the simple fact that I had no more than one "easy" room choice in all three runs and EVERY door just spawned two shield/runner guys which are a pain to kill without either dumping all your ammo into them or getting overwhelmed. I hate Descent and if it wasn't for the blueprints I wouldn't even bother with it. I'd even pay real money and just buy the blueprints instead of playing this pile of garbage.
I've gotten to loop 34. It's just like running into them anywhere else. They have the named boss health and damage scaling like in the regular world. Their behavior is the same too. The only thing to worry about with them is their skills. Try to incorporate at least 5 lvls on insulated at least before loop 20. They got me at loop 34 because they tag teamed me with shock traps, blinder fireflies, and stinger hives.
@ thanks! Yeah, with the exception of putting my agent in a weird spot where he gets boxed easily, it’s always when I am tired and can’t focus that I die in Descent, which is why depending on the talent pool I will leave by 12, 14 or 16, when I don’t have what I consider the ideal loadout. Especially when the talent pool is anything other than Wrath or Envy. With Gluttony being the current pool I will tolerate it: But when it is Sloth, forget it.
@ Thanks for the info. Yeah, after Nemesis clear, I tend to start stacking Insulated next to my offensive talents, especially when it’s Wrath and I have Bloodsucker as one of my Exotic talents.
The devs need to open up exotic gear and let us equip put on as many exotics as we want like in Div 1 we have all these exotics and we use hardly 10 -15 % of them and at max 2 on one build.... it's stale now and needs to be changed with in the year asap . Imagine it coyotes mask. momento bag. The bleed chest peice. Thew new holster centurion blah blah. The soywers knee pads .with the orobos and st elmos and regulus .plug in what ever peices we want like strikers with the new holster and coyotes mask needs be put in the game asap
HOW ODD! After 600 hours ... I just started getting into the Descent this weekend. Man, I went from FK THIS SHIT! ... to ... maybe one more run ... now I'm hooked! .... but I have not killed the Nemesis YET! :/
Decent only gets good once you passed the nemesis. Just get a group together that has played and passed the nemesis. Plus the rogues at loop 25 start to hit hard. Nemesis is a joke
@@marklucas9658 Yep! I put up a video where I decided on a whim just to have the assault drone so other players will see that those get hacked. Fortunately I was prepared for that to happen and shot it down immediately. But it actually did buy me a few scant seconds to reload and damaged the Nemesis before it was hacked and attacked me.
Eh … no thanks. In general I don’t understand this mode fetishism in Division 2 and 2. Why not developing the main game instead? We have the maps in DC and NY … most areas of the maps are not used, only for placing tons of loot crates and collectibles and the steril copy and paste open world activities. The modes bring nothing for the main game. These do not make the main game more interesting. I wished they focussed on developing the main game instead of modes and the season repetition orgy.
Watching this is the exact reason I don’t play this dumb game mode. I could care less about crafting when I have everything I could ever need. The game developers need to make it much much much much more enticing if I have to play this repetitive shizz over and over
As someone who never plays this game mode, this is exactly what I need for motivation!
The man, the myth, the legend!

Another reason to collect all the blueprints is to no longer feel the need to hoard pieces in your storage since you can just craft as needed.
The key is just knowing what rooms to absolutely stay away from, especially on the harder difficulties. Workshop, 3D Printing Lab, Security and EMP Lab are the worst. Especially in a 4 man group.

How do you know what type of room is behind the doors you want to open?
i tried decent 3 times like you said and still can't get it done, decent sucks i'm never doing it again.
It's the worst
This was Awesome! Many thanks for this!... returning back to DV2 after yrs away.
Don’t forget, Shield Splinterer & Hunter Killer were removed from the Descent blueprint pool. Cannot get those two anymore. Hopefully they will be put back in.
Sweet dude. Appreciate the video - will definitely start looking into trying this mode - only played it a couple of times.
The main issue for me here is no resume possibility after for example disconnection or need longer break cause I can't play for a whole day for I need to attend real life stuff. :D
This is the motivation i need to play this part of the game Thanks Kami
Okay, you convinced me to give it another try; but it still seems like maximum grind for minimal rewards.
This entire game in a nutshell
This was very helpful. Thanks, KVD! For me, I'm settling on the shotgun/rifle combo. With the talents you recommend, that's the combo that works for me.
Love your vids,learned soooo much from this vid.ur content is amazing,keep up the amazing job
Agreed on no skill builds, however I do have one exception which has been wildly entertaining to run, an oxidizer build on sloth, a fun challenge, especially the duel with nemesis that also has oxy
thanks for doing this update as i never really understood this game mode. Will give it another try after i have finished grinding out my Journey and manhunt 😂
You're right. Descent does look more appealing for this reason.
Thank you for the explanation. I've avoided decent for along time. Frankly, after your explanation I still don't like it but its at least doable.
Thank you. I have been struggling trying to inly do hard level, going all easy made it fast.
And if you die at 98% Nemesis, you get do it all over again. Doesn't that sound fun? (lol)
That's every roguelike for you.
I like playing this game mode but not having an oprion to save your progress is poor the furthest I have got is loop 25 solo the last time I played descent I was on loop 25 and was going to beat my best then I got kicked out and after playing for about 6 or 7 hours your kicked out and back to the start I played God of war ragnarok valhalla and you can suspend your progress and pick up where you left off that's what this game mode needs
I think when a player drops, another agent should be able to join into that players build, there should be a merge option so that teams with 2 can merge to make 4 at the same loop. More rooms.
thank you for demystifying this for me.
Good stuff! Just got my first Nemesis clear!!! Thanks KVD!
When choosing the rooms, stay away from workshop at all cost. Also, if you’re in a group one person needs to focus on blues and the leadership talent.
Thanks Kami this give me a better tactic going into decent now i don't really like it but I'd like too beat it i made it too the nemesis once but he killed me so this gives me a better plan on how to beat him.
I love Decent. Kind of reminds me of Special Ops: Survival Modes.
Exactly
No save points and long in and out cinematic gets old pretty fast but still I like it for its crisp graphics and quiet background music track but can't find no one to join with, so for me its solo 90 percent of the time , if you get a good roll like a 12 gauge and striker drone your golden !
Solo for 90, what then you die... LOL.

Well on Descent, I get a good smg but horrible talent choices,, or horrible gun choices and then i get descent talents..Looking forward to this video i guess..
Gg big bro keep the videos coming 👊🏽
This, and most of your vids, would greatly benefit from infographics breaking down the main ideas & stats.
Descent just so boring to me
Same

you have a chance to get reconstruct caches as you go through loops after the nemi
The several times I've attempted Descent, I died to "The Nemesis", which I've now learned was just the first loop boss. FML.
@@Blasikov yea it’s rough starting out. Try starting with sticky bombs/chem launchers and going for dps talents on your first loop. Once you get your first exotic talent at the end of the first loop it gets a lot easier.

@ yea I forgot about that. I bought it all ages ago. Getting that armor on kill to 10% helps a lot.
If you die to the nemesis, where do you start from afterwards? Thx in advance.
@ all over again. Literally from zero. But you keep the nsa tech currency and can use that to buy exotics and permenant buffs for your future runs.
Doesnt it make more sense to buy the buffs first before the other caches? I say that as ive been doing dewcent since its beginning for the comms and didnt have the choice of buying recon caches etc.

If you do a no skill run, would the Nemesis have no skills or random bs?
The higher you go up on loops the more nsa you get. The higher the loops comes with more fun, hunters and heavies = Fun!!!
I found rough estimate of 20% more Armor on npc between LVL 1 and lvl 2 . Same for LVL 3, the npc have roughly 20% more Armor than LVL 2 npc
Any tips for duo? We just got absolutely wrecked by the nemeses.
Your awesome!!

Nope, you will not get any Raid exotics (EB, Regulus, Ravenous, Oro)
Is there a tier list on talents, since talent pool rotates?
I just returned any weapons I should farm or specific places to look? What should I be doing now?
Descent is a fun mode with a solid team! We keep it fun by trying to kill each other out of combat!

How do you figure out which of the highlighted doors to initially stand in front of? I always choose the wrong one and get shot in the back
What skills should we be going after?
That's my question too.
Wish I thought this question out before running lol my drone and turret got highjacked and I died instantly when I reached the Nemesis.

Clutch is absolutely terrible in decent. You never have the crit chance for it to make a difference. Entrench is so much better honestly.
completely agree there, if crit were higher it would be viable, entrench on level 4 and above is solid
