Buddy and I booted up the game to give it another go. Had a blast until Heroic wasn't much challenge. As soon as we hop in Legendary, it's non stop suicide drones and mindless air burst spam. Tried many dif builds recommend by major content creators and it's still [censored]. Sorry, we're gone until it gets changed. I can give 10 examples to ratchet up difficulty levels without making it dumb. Peace.

I found myself bored this week when I went into the game... staring at the map and not finding anything appealing to do. Also, struggled a bit during the season, changing the build and monkeying with them whenever I had the chance. I stopped playing and kind of felt good.
I miss the story days (still the most engaging part for me), so I am thinking to create a new character and restart it. But, I'm inclined to go hardcore. Yeah, I know, perma-death for the char., but because of those high stakes I find it appealing.
My game plan is:

Note I don't plan to do Kenley (done once, 0 interest after). Raids also out my scope (at least for now).
The 1st goal is to get to the end of the NY campaign.

In terms of approach, I will try to stick with a balance of red and blue (if and when possible throughout the story progression), AR and Rifle (occasional MMR, maybe) as I intend to keep my distance in this mode. Aiming for the reviver hive and one offensive skill, even tho the pulse would be good to avoid running into an ambush.

Looking for tips and advice. Thanks.

PS. The thing that I'm really afraid of is getting my char killed by deltas or crashes, that could be a potential "divorce" from TD2 and being banned on Ubi's forums. 😀

Been going on for 2-3 weeks where division 2 has all these problems, to begin with it takes forever to load in game if it loads into the game at all. 80% of the time loading gets stuck between 9 and 46 percent and wont move anymore, the game nor system is not frozen everything still functions it just doesnt process or something. I randomly get stuck and blurry from loading textures issues in game i get stuck in like this invisible box where i cant move out of a certain area at all, enemies are invisible, i cant hear anything in game, menus are invisible and or im in a building then everything becomes see through and im walking on air. Ive done the rebuid option 3 times deleted and reinstalled 6 times checked for any and all updates for both system and game, and i just dont know what to do. This is all on ps4 by the way.

Is there much use for a grenade build? Like Demolitionist with the mortar turret and Mad Bomber chest talent and maybe Acosta’s bag? Anyone done this? Is it useful? What weapons synergize with this?

Too bad there’s no AR with an M203 attachment.

I did NY open world bosses yesterday… nothing. Is that the best way? What about SMG targeted loot? Any other tips? (Besides group play) 😉

First thing first, crappy picture, crappy camera....so it does not do it justice:

👍

p.s Keyboard/Mouse is for my p.c, all is hidden......i play on Xbox Series X console, which is also hidden 😀

I made this suggestion before only it was short mentioned in a list with other things.
But
Turn the settlement blokkade back to how it was.
Just make it bigger and with better rewards!!

How it was:
* You couldn't fast travel to the settlement that had a blokkade.
This was good but the rewards were trash, so it became really annoying.

* The blokkade was on 1 side of the settlement.
This didn't make sense at all !
(You couldn't enter a settlement from the South because there was a blokkade in the North...?)

* The blokkade was short and had no named boss(es).
Therefore it was boring and annoying as well.
--------------------------
Improvements:

* that we can't fast travel to a settlement with a blokkade should come back.
But once a month instead of every week.

* People that still don't wanna do it can hold the fast travel button longer to skip the blokkade.
Now it will be checked as done and you can't get the rewards from it even if you help friends or others (back up call)

* The blokkade should surround the whole settlement.
This way you can start from any side.

* After you killed the couple waves of enemies infront of the gate, you can open the gate by destroying something infront of it.
By doing this Allies come out and help you defend it from incoming enemies. (Sort of like CP)

* Every side has a named boss in the end wave.
Example:
North 5 warhounds
East 3 big guys
South: 1 big drone
West: 2-5 Hunters.
Last side you do are always Hunters.

* Rewards
It's once a month so every named boss should have a big chance for exotic drop.
(If lucky you can end up with 4 exotic's)
And for completing it: 1 exotic cache, 3 named caches, 3 optimization caches, 3 material caches, 10 Tactical Assessments from every faction, and normal stuff guns, gear and/or mods.

***Skill vanity mod reward.
3 mods in total, 1 mod per blokkade.
100% drop rate but with a catch.
Let that weird Scavenger Guy use it on both you and the Hunters.
Now it's the question of who kills him first.
If you kill him you get the drop.
If the Hunters kill him you don't get the drop.
And now the Hunters will use the skill with that vanity mod as sort of toxic behavior. Lol

If not skill vanity mods then 3 new Hunter masks.
100% drop rate but 1 per blokkade.
You can wear these masks WITH hats/hoodys.

so, everything has mitigation right? status builds have haz pro, skill builds have jammer, but what about weapon builds? well the only thing I can think of is skill builds. skill builds are the mitigation for weapon builds and that's the real reason most PVPers complain about them. Look at the Shrapnel trap for example, it directly combats the way weapon build players rush in at you, and they absolutely hate it because of that. skill builds force a more tactical and cover-based play-style. The meta weapon builds are the exact opposite, all they do is put up their shield and shoot. Then they complain when skill builds put them down and claim skill builds are OP. when in reality, it's weapon builds that are OP. Weapon builds can have tons of armor plus a shield and still melt people no prob, skill builds at the max can have 913k armor, excluding things like the kard and the memento. technically you could put more armor on a skill build but since skill tiers are more than just damage you basically need skill tier 6. skill builds can be mitigated with jammer or by destroying their skills. weapon builds can only be mitigated with distance and maybe riot foam or a blinder. but if someone with more than 1 mil armor goes rogue and pulls out a shield right by you and you're a skill build there's basically nothing you can do.

Hello,

I could not find anywhere what too many symbols in the game mean. They do not correspond to my gear talents. They are symbols both above enemies or in my minihud.
I can recognize e.g. bleeding, burning, blinded - but there are way more symbols.
