Do you think stealth could play a role in future Division games?

For example, using a suppressed weapon to stealthily eliminate enemies at a Control Point (until someone witnessed a kill or found a body). Or stealthily dropping a few enemies at any location before things go loud?

Imagine you’ve got a few enemies standing around a radio broadcast and suddenly one of them drops from a sniper round… the rest of them run for cover but aren’t sure where the shooter is. 🙂

It could also be cool if you clear a room stealthily (without the enemies getting a shot off) and that means there’s no need to deal with subsequent waves of enemy reinforcements spawning in. In most cases, this would probably only be possible with a full coop team all using suppressed weapons.

I think it would require that unalerted enemies without helmets go down with one head shot.

Thoughts?

I have so much gear and weapon crafting materials that I'm nearly always maxed out to the point where all the crafting material crates I've gathered through season loot tracks are sitting in my inventory un-opened.

I don't craft anything. But then I don't really have any blueprints to craft things that would help me. I use a couple of exotics, several named items, and the Negotiator Dilemma gear set. I've done a bit of farming for better ND gear rolls and recalibrating what I have. The only weapon I'm using that I could craft, is the police M4, but I already have the talent I want and some decent rolls on it (weapon damage is max at +15).

What should I be crafting, if anything?

I notice I could buy blue-prints for the exotics that I have (Coyote mask, Scorpio Shotgun)... should I be crafting those to see if I can get better rolls? But my Scorpio is almost god-rolled already I think.

What I really need, are optimization resources. I'm constantly in short supply of Faction based optimization resources. What should I be doing to get more of that?

I am an avid user of the oxidizer chem launcher so this is a real problem for me. accidentally killing my self with my own skills is just the worst. And it's not even consistent, you can stand in front of your turret no problem and friendlies are completely unaffected. I shouldn't be able to melt myself faster than i can melt a normal red enemy on heroic. It does nothing but hurt the experience and makes the player not want to use certain skills in fear of accidentally killing them self.

I say only in PVE because spamming oxi in PVP would be kinda nuts.

The Division 2 has one expansion to date: Warlords of New York. Starting it might fast forward your character progression and lock you out of specific content/gameplay.
The game itself warns about some non-replayable side missions and trophies which might turn unreachable.
Some players talked about some blueprints which might get unavailable retrospectively... True?
Is there a list of unreachable or non-replayable achievments/content/gameplay which I might miss by prematurely starting to play the expansion? (To possibly check it off one by one.)
I currently believe that nothing will be missed, if you exhaust all story main and side missions until reaching “World Tier 1”. But is that true? (Or is there an earlier/later safe point in the game?)
Can someone confirm that all further “invaded” World Tier X missions can be (re-)launched at a later point?

I have know that the last Unknown Echo on the Camp White Oak place. on the Faye Lau killed President Andrew Ellis's house.
I don't know what happened, 2 seasons have passed . That bug still not fixed……

And how the season 2 replay it? It's skip to the Season 3 on the Season 6……We want to collect the voice.

Is it possible to begin a level at the most recently reached checkpoint? So far the game is making me start at the beginning of a level every time I log in again.

Also, it doesn't save my video settings. Every time I log in I have to reset it to windowed mode.

I'm not seeing anything in settings, or on the internet, that answers these frustrating issues. Any help? Thanks!

Rather than follow the normal meta builds, I kinda pieced this one together on my own, thinking about my particular play style.

All three green pieces are HF, rolled for max 170k armor and max 12% CHD for the attribute. All gear mods are CHD mods between 11-12% or the one CHC at 6% in the chest.

You can see the chest, backpack and holster stats below, and my build stats at bottom. With the Cold Relations I am running almost 54% CHC and 148% CHD, and with the Scorpio 43% and 138%, respectively.

All pieces (including weapons) are fully optimized with the sole exception of the backpack, which is a recent addition (and I ran out of optimization mats). Once it's done I'll have another 1.4% CHC on all weapons and 2M armor.

I am not certain about the Opportunistic talent. It works on shotgun-only kills but the 5 seconds is nearly half over by the time I swap to another weapon. Still, it slays for up-close kills.

I also have fully optimized Lady Death and The Mop to swap out on the two primary weapons. I go back and forth trying to decide which I like better.

Oh, skills are Defender drone and shield, of course. With 0 skill tier both are incredibly weak though...

I know all you regulars are probably playing on Heroic, but until lately, I’ve been playing on Hard. My only real reason was to keep the sponge level as low as possible. A red Glass Cannon build on Hard offers as close to a realistic shooter experience as possible.

But, In the interest of getting blueprints I’ve been doing all control points at level 3.

Recently, I’ve tried playing on world difficulty set to Challenging. Here’s what I’ve noticed…

I’m torn on whether to continue on Challenging and try to overlook the added sponge, but then I ask myself… why bother? Just go back to Hard and be happy! 🙂 But then that’s not really pushing me to get better, it’s actually creating tactical bad habits (operating out of cover more often).

Any suggestions? Anything I’m overlooking in changing difficulty?

I've a lot of fun using this build this past week:


4 pieces Negociator's Dilemma
2 pieces Providence Defense

Weapon : Capacitor

57% Critical Hit Chance
198,8% Critical Hit Damage

Talents : Spark + Vigilance

I did a callout for a group that did this. It was fine until we went over the fence. We could have handled the Tusk but the 2 quadcopters were too much. Has anyone finished this in a group. I would like to know how you did it. I don't know how you could now the cheese has been patched out. Worst mission yet.

 In Division 1 we had to ability to utilize this perk with the "Pulse", now I actually like that this is a perk from hq but it does need a buff, this is my suggestion.

Combine level one and two into a single level, this would be the first perk you open.
level 2 will then add another 20m to the detection range making it 40m and 20 more minutes to the duration for a 30 minute duration, this would make it much more useful for roaming in open.
 Add another change to both levels.
 donating to any of the supply officers will refresh the timer.
 Any time an instance (mission, bounty area's and such). the duration timer will pause making it active the entire mission, once out side the area it will resume.
