The Division 2: A Full Descent Guide for Beginners (2024 Edition)

  • The Division 2: In the most recent update of The Division 2 the Descent game mode had a few tweaks. This included a lot of items being added to the NSA Vendor including the Vindicator Exotic Rifle! This exotic is only accessible through this vendor which means players are forced to play the Descent game mode so I thought it was a great time to freshen up my Descent guide. In this guide I explain the Descent game mode so that beginner's can learn what it is about and then learn some tips on how to easily complete Nemesis runs while playing solo. Once players master Nemesis runs they will be able to get all of the rewards that are available through the game mode. There are only a few more vanity patches that require higher loop completions that are not as important.
    Just a few more tips that I missed in the video;
    - Descent is a great way to level up Hardcore characters. Because it is a simulation, when you die in Descent your Hardcore character is safe!
    - The further you go through Descent the more enemy waves you will get per room.
    - When you reach the Nemesis you will have to fight the same amount of Nemesis as there are squad members. This is why playing solo can be much easier.
    - You get more rewards from the Descent if you can complete more loops in the form of caches.
    - Each week you unlock collectible comms from Descent by completing the Nemesis encounter as part of the weekly Descent project.
    I hope you enjoy the video, I have timestamped below if you want to skip any parts!

      QUESTION !
      When you say.... ""when you die you have to do it over all again.""
      What does this mean exactly?
      Does it mean that if you clear 2 rooms and die in the arena, you then have to do them all again?
      OR
      When you die, you just go back to the start of the room that you are currently doing?
      OR
      When you die, you go back to the VERY beginning and all stats and gear all get resetted?
      Im only asking because if you play on Hard you only reset at current room, when you play on heroic you have to restart the whole thing.
      So please explain further....
      Thanks for video, i did it once died and left, never went back in.
      Im a returning player after a few years and it was too confusing for me, so im glad you made this vid it helped me understand it more, i might actually give it another go!
      Since now i know wtf im doing, lolz

    This video is a GREAT guide! If I may, I would like to add some extra tips I've found useful. (My highest loop: 44)
    ~PRE-Nemesis~
    1) Check pool and create build with 3 from each aspect. (9 talents total)
    Do NOT build around a specific exotic but keep them in mind.
    2) Do NOT buy slot upgrades for aspects. Just reroll once or twice to find 1/9 talents from build.
    You CAN fully overcome the RNG this way.
    >
    3) Use excess credits to purchase Ammo/medpack upgrades or special ammo from supply station.
    DONT bring: ANY turret, drone or sticky bomb to Nemesis.
    DO bring: Hologram, Trap or even Riot foam if you're bold enough
    If you throw Hologram when room start countdown timer is on "00" it WILL WORK.
    Shock ammo does NOT work on Nemesis.
    Blind seems to work best however you can get it.
    NOTES / TIPS
    1) STACKING the same talent to 10 is usually more impactful (and easier to keep track of) than buying have Level 2 in 5 different talents.
    2) Most efficient weapon || Shotgun: [Super90] or [M870]
    With Surgical, Crit dmg & (+DMG% Talent) this will clear entire doors in 1-4 shots.
    Post-Nemesis it will down Hunters and massive elites in 2 shots.
    This is with NO RED CORES. All Blue cores and still 2 shotting elites because talents matter more than cores for Dmg.
    Blue will make your team nearly invincible if someone on the team follows the next tip.
    3) Most Underrated Talent || [Leadership]
    At rank 10 it allows you to give your teammates +100% of your armor as bonus armor every 10 seconds. That's a full "Overheal", for the entire team, that costs no medkit and can be done several times a fight.
    If you pair this with Overwatch, at rank 10, it gives your team 100% extra weapon damage.
    If you pair it with Optimistic, at rank 10, hitting an enemy with a shotgun/marksman rifle causes them to take 100% more dmg.
    4) If these are followed then by loop 20+ you wont run into the massive danger spike that comes when enemies begin 1 shotting everyone.

    For first weapon, i´d rather suggest of picking any smg, assault or shotgun. That elevated position at far left side when solo is not great. Couple fire or oxi chem bursts from Nemesis to there and you got nowhere to go, you stand up from cover and if he shoots at you, you might die. Rather i would stay still at far left but at around high structure before going up the stairs. This way you can always stay opposite of Nemesis and when anything is thrown at you, take couple steps back from cover in case Nem shoots any chem directly to that cover. Usually any chem flies over you.

    @NailStrafer 3 місяці тому

    IMO, if you're going to invest NSA tech into boosting your permanent stats, I'd focus on these first:
    Armor on kill: This was the first thing I maxed out. Armor and medkits are precious commodities in this mode. Getting back armor for every kill is extremely useful in staying alive and saving currency since you won't need to buy medkits as frequently.
    Accuracy, stability, critical hit chance, headshot damage: Anything that helps you do more damage with your gun is great to have in this mode. Also, more accuracy and stability make it easier to use the Unhinged talent.
    Status effects: These are crucial for Nemesis, since stunning him with status effects opens up many safe opportunities to deal damage.
    Skill haste: Skills can be a lifesaver in this mode, and having more access to them more frequently is great.
    Protection from elites: You always want to do a High Value Target room when they come up to get more NSA tech, but the HVT hurts a lot if he shoots you. This gives you a little more margin for error when going up against them.

    They would have to triple the rewards to make it worth it especially when you make the outfits literally cost over 1,600 almost 1700 NSA credits. The rifle isn't that bad in terms of its price at 350 but with no blueprint in sight you get what you get that first roll and then You're stuck with it. For me I minimum rolled on two of my stats so I'm just screwed out of using it because it's that bad.

    So I tried Descent for the first time today, the video was helpful! I found the build creation element quite fun and rewarding but that's about it, the game mode itself after loop 5 starts becoming somewhat stressful, a LOT of close calls, like a lot!
    Finished off loop 7 and took on my nemesis, almost killed him but he hits like a truck and killed me, not the end of the world as I still managed to make 113 credits along the way.
    Honestly the game mode is average at best, if it wasn't for the vindicator rifle and I would like to take out the nemesis at least once I highly doubt I'll ever come back after.
    Like legit, the dark zones and rouge agents are less stressful!

    Descent ABSOLUTELY sucks...100%...
    The rooms are too small to really do anything tactical at all in (nvm getting like 5 seconds to assess the area's layout/multiple enemy entries & position accordingly), the limited choice of skill/weapon opts coupled with hideous RNG (for me, at least...it's typically fully useless altogether or a mismatched/non-complimentary choice of weapons/skills), they give you ammo boxes for like the 1st 2 rooms, then stop altogether/forcing you to purchase before exiting (that was a nice surprise on my last mag after a tough room with only a Boss door left as my sole choice to proceed).
    If you bring friends, they amp it up kind of ridiculously/exponentially harder...if you go solo it's Loading-Screen City (even if successful it's tediously long & repeatedly dying/restarting is like vacationing in the 7th circle of Hell; seems eternal) I've done 12+ attempts & made it to room 4. Once. That would be the last mag/only 1 door Boss room. Left with absolutely NOTHING to show for my time & effort. FUN.
    It's completely stupid & insanely unbalanced, not enjoyable whatsoever...but the TRUE nemesis, IMHO, isn't even the RNG - it's the UNGODLY long amount of time having a load-screen siesta fiesta.
    SUPER glad they moved certain loot pools to basically Descent-only just to force people to play this mode, rather than make it BETTER.

      You see my upgrades at the end. This is my PC account and hardly touched Descent. I made the Nemesis look so easy because it is and always has been based on the information and strategy I give you in this video. It just takes practice. This run I recorded was the perfect run in terms of talents and weapons that I got given but even so, there are a lot of options to consider when you just want to beat the Nemesis that will make it a breeze.

    I've never gotten good rolls, talents or exotics...(max loop is 9m , made it to the Nem 3 times) I stick to hard or greater rooms in hopes of better loot... Best I've gotten is 1 exotic by the end... how you guys get 2, 3+ by loop 6-8 blows my mind... I swear the toobers posting vids are cheating some how... when I get to the end I always get owned by the nemesis... I focus on armour at first, then once 40-50% I then focus on Weapon... never tried a skill variant.

    • @GCROCK
      @GCROCK  4 місяці тому +2

      Yeah I just cheat 🤣 ..
      Exotics are RNG. One is all you need. In my opinion focusing on armor is where you are going wrong. You want as much damage as possible for the Nemesis. Focus on damage, get a rifle or sniper for the nemesis. If trauma is available use it!! Unhinged is practically another exotic talent it is that good. Pick Devestating at the end of every loop. Choose easy rooms all the way, it makes the process a lot quicker.
      Practice all of this as explained in my guide and you can cheat too 🤣 You will kill the Nemesis every time.
