  • The Division 2 Watch Mule! This video is a guide to creating a watch mule in 2024. A watch mule is a term used by players when creating new characters to take advantage of how the watch level mechanics work. With these mechanics you are able to give yourself an infinite amount of resources to help optimize builds and to work on Expertise. I explain everything you need to know in this video.

    Quicker way is to do the missions in NY. A level 40 player selects Story Mode with 5 directives. It will give you 800,000+ xp. I took two 30 players into Stranded Tanker and they got 1 million xp at level 37. For some reason it gives more xp and it's quicker than running challenging or heroic.

    Been thinking about a mule for a while. This video is easily the clearest out there - so cheers for that. Thing is, now I know what to do I don’t think I’ll bother. Grinding for gear and mats to invest is what makes the game fun. A great Countdown run to boost your library and then donate to expertise would be pointless with endless resources. So cheers for the video and making my decision easy!

      Absolutely love this comment. 💯💯
      I am the same, I do the video for content as people want to know and I am in the views business but other than that, I don't bother. I have never touched watche mules other than to create these videos and agree that the grind is the fun in the game. I see a lot of people getting bored quick that do this.
      I think for the people that have less time, and don't get to game much then go ahead. But if you play regular, just enjoy the game is my advice and progress natually.

      Great idea about the DZ though. I'm SHD 1200 so the DZ is just instant death for me! The chance for those DZ exotics to drop is enough for me to go with a new character. Again, great videos and ongoing coverage!

    If you boost into ny you will not have projects until you get pass keener, if you boost into dc you will have your weekly projects, from 30 to 40.
    If you keep side missions for after watch you will be able to run them with directives.
    Bounties drop where side missions are, so bounties with only drop in done side missions areas.

    If you are playing solo like me, You should save the best gear you find on the mule runs for next run, Add mods etc etc
    I basically have gear with near max crit chance/damage stats for every few new levels up to 40, Blast through it even doing Keener as soon as I pop lvl 40 just put on LMG heartbreaker set and use Pestilence, He can hide behind cover all he wants as his health bar goes to zero.
    Edit: Make sure to favourite those lvl 30+ max gear pieces you build up to max so you don't end up deleting them for next mule run whenever you do it whether that's weeks, months or a year later.

    It's great for getting through the expertise levels. And yes it is definitely a legitimate mechanic in the game. If anything it's an earned benefit. The more you grind, more time and energy put in...all the less you'll have to in the future.(Kind of like the opposite of diminishing returns 😋)

    2000 premium credits (19,99€)i don't know if it will be permanently unlocked afterwards or you have to buy it everytime, as long as you don't have the expansion. But if you have to buy it everytime, it's cheaper to just buy the Expansion and boost however much you want.

      I did that, DZ Run is very lucrative, you get XP, DZ Credit and Exotic component, and when you reach LV40, Materials. I was thinking of trying Descent run for NSA credit and EXP but I'm terrible there🤣🤣
      The most tedious part was after the one endgame, my LV30 gear became Lv29. I had to build a new lv31 set and I still need Memento lv31🤣

    personally i still prefer doing solo WONY since i just refuse to go in the dark zone and for wony your no longer required to start/finish keeners mission (which lowers the average from 5h to about 3 1/2hs)but for some reason you dont get the projects even after logging out and in again so i think that might be a bug

    Hi GC love all your videos thank you for all the time and dedication you give us all back to help us improve. I have two questions for you - 1. On a couple of occasions now, ive run NY, GOT THE WATCH, returned to DC, spent my watch scavenger points then I go to INYA to buy the shared materials - ONLY TO DISCOVER THERES NO SHARED MATERIALS OR BLUEPRINTS THERE FOR ME TO BUY. 2. my latest new agent completed NY got the watch etc... but my crafting bench is only on superior - it does say i can upgrade bench which i have done loads of times using resources and millions of credits yet no sign of the bench going to high end - do you or your viewers have any solutions to these problems please Or is this something i need to ask Ubisoft support about thank you

    What is the minimum level that would be beneficial for a watch mule

    • @GCROCK
      @GCROCK  4 місяці тому +1

      Good question, I would aim for 2000 as that would give you 1200 points to play with. But even before that can work for getting a build optimized with about 800 points to play with. I have done mules at just 1500 watch level before now

    • @altie
      @altie 4 місяці тому

      That's a good question and I concur with GCs answer. 2k is the best. I'm 4k now and any mules I create will give me boatloads of resources.

    Wouldn’t it be more efficient for watch points to buy credits in scavenging then buy skill mods and delete them for printer filament?

    • @GCROCK
      @GCROCK  4 місяці тому +1

      Probably yes! But then I guess you would have to time how long that takes you compared to how long it takes you to get another level 40 toon
