- The Division 2 watch mules have been used for years to allow players with a high watch level to practically have unlimited resources to help with optimization and expertise. It is a quick process that requires you to own the Warlords of New York Expansion and then skipping the main campaign when starting a new character to start straight in new York. With a team of people you can be very efficient and reach level 40 in about 1 hour and a half.
With the new year 6 season 1 update things have changed to combine both of the level 30, and level 40 endgames. With this change making a watch mule has not been easier and I explain in this video how you can go from level 0 to 40 in about 15 minutes!

One big thing to note is that if you don't clear New York then the character won't have access to any projects (bar Descent), so if you're planning on using them for daily/weekly stuff for exotics then you'd be better off with the old method.
This only works if you have willing participants who will run you through missions. I put out an LFG to assist me in leveling and nobody answered the call. ☹
I'm really hoping the new guide will have a solo section, because "have multiple other people willing to do all the work for you" ain't exactly the most viable strategy for most players.
It is when you are a part of a great community like ours. Solo is going to take up to 5 hours. Basically boost to expansion and complete it to get watch 👍 It is more players helping and working together that makes this quicker.
@@GCROCK just get 1 friend and do heroic control points with 5 directives
When I am by myself I do challenging with 4 directives. Reset your control points under global settings until 1-2 public executions show up on the right side of the road next to Tidal Basin. Fast travel to Tidal Basin mission, cross the road, knock out the public execution missions and reset your control points and rinse and repeat. This is by far the fastest way I have found to level up alone I think its about 328k xp for every public x mission. If you can get one friend/person with a skill build you can do these in less than 4 minutes. If anybody else that runs solo or maybe with someone else has a good xp farm let me know! I'd love to try it.. With the XP boost yesterday I knocked out 16 levels in a little over an 1 1/2 hour by myself doing this..
The road for easy solo mule is the DZ. You can get to level 40 in 2 hours. Make sure to grab gear with skill tiers and let the drone and turret do the work
@@ferrenberg 2 hours is slow
First step to doing this find 3 friends who play the division 2 😮
Join our Discord, discord.gg/gcrock Friends and helpers await
Hahah yes
@GCROCK is your discord made up mostly pc players?

You dont have to go to NY. If you have the DLC, you can pick campaign and play the intro then boost your character with the lvl 30 boost, stay in DC and grind to 40. All depends on what intro you want to do
I was wondering this. I had a lvl30 ready for a Wony but just staying in DC gets you levels. Just did a few missions and got to 31 in about 30 minutes. Slow I know but interesting to see if the watch gets given at 40 without NY.
@@andygreener3130 which annoys me for those of us who had to pay money to be able to get to level 40.
@@LouiseKernow2024 I don’t think ur able to get the NY map . So it shouldn’t matter
@@LouiseKernow2024 precisely
Getting to 31 is much faster just running to Haven than it is to play on DC map
Now you need to do a guide for solo players. DZ landmarks is by far the easiest method now, it can takes 2 hours to get a new watch
2 hours? Solo Sounds good
@@GCROCK Its true, the landmark xp scales as you lvl. there are 1 and 2 bar landmarks that take seconds to clear that start at around 70-100k and increase to 100-150k. You can usally run to the red landmarks that have people in them land a few shots on an npc to start the landmark and make sure you get the xp when it is cleared. Also its a nice way of passively getting exotic drops and exotic components from boxes.
@ferrenberg - ey, just a small thumbs up, used some of the advice you've given on Reddit 🙂
@@Tarvoskemwer glad I could help somehow!
Dz guide with all the chests naked would be awesome.
before i even pressed play I KNEW it wouldnt be a solo strat.
Solo strat, start a new character and boost to new york. Complete the expansion 👍
@@GCROCK true! therefore makin the title 0-40 in Less than 3 hours!
Well no because it can be done in 15 minutes in the way I explained in the video.
Honestly if you are sick of new york strat like me. Boost in New York then go back to DC and go straight in the Darkzone 1-39 bracket. You will get to lvl 40 in an hour or 2 just casually doing landmarks, meeting cool people (its a lot easier and more chill) and you still can earn resources and exotic components from boxes.
@@Skippyflapjacks Yeah I did this yesterday. DZ is for sure the fastest way to get 30-40 solo
And there's me getting my buddies to carry me through DZ landmarks 😂
Those are good friends.
DZ landmarks are nice for solo too. You can get it done in 2 hours
@@ferrenberg Did it with Lincoln, took less than an hour
@@KarlDelaney99 Lincoln Memorial solo on hard gives at max 150k xp on level 39. You did not create a mule playing solo doing Lincoln Memorial in less than 1 hour. Good fanfic though
@@ferrenbergI never said I did it solo, I had friends 99 the mission for me. Don't jump to conclusions
Short. clear and to the point. Thanks, I was about to run another mule
Single player only, without a partner, this tip is useless
RIP solo players with no friends playing.
Thanks GC, this answers my question from your other video, I did wonder whether it would become loads quicker. Now just need to find 10 friends 😂❤
Good luck!
For those of you who don't know GC or aren't completely familiar with his discord and clan they are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to help players of every level with everything from Raids to legendary missions to incursions. They ask very little in terms of experience ...only that you take advice on your build and take directions from the leader of whatever activity it is that they are helping you with. They are fast, efficient and a TON of fun to play the game with and learn from. I have played with them on a lot of different content and have loved every minute of it. Several times I was ready to pull my hair out and in stepped GC's crew and had me laughing and truly enjoying playing some of the hardest content in the game. I highly reccomend them to anyone in need of help.
Thanks for the comment
Had a nice surprise this morning, needed to expertise a piece of gear, checked my mules and 100 points in each , “Why thank you very nicely “ 300 SHD points enough to get what I needed plus extra😂😂😊
Whoa. This is really cool. Unfortunately, I don't have 6 friends who are still playing this 🤣 but at least I know what to do if that changes.
Thanks GC
If your on Xbox I can give you a hand. One friend is better than no friends I guess
if you only have 1 friend just farm heroic control points with as many directives
Alternatively you can get one friend, heroic, 5 directives, and hit every hostage and propaganda.
Hostage takes about 40 seconds to do
Propaganda takes about 1 Minute to do
@@MustangPrudencethere's at least 1 minute waiting in every propaganda, not to mention enemies that spread everywhere. Not a efficient way to farm for this
Tip for the people that for some reason wants to keep spending time on The Division 2 and do this solo: craft a level 30 Capacitor and 4 Hard Wire pieces, go turret-drone combo to DZ and watch your skills carry you in no time as if they were 2 players. People forget that the skills are the only damage you can actually scale beyond your level with pieces like Capacitor and having 6 skills tiers. I used to do my WONYs with that set and saved me around an hour of XP grind.
All you need is 1 player on beastmode to get you through
Your timing is great!! :D Just earlier i created my first mule, but wasnt sure what would be the best way to do 30-40.
Definitely looking forward to your complete guide on it :) Thanks for the great content GC, you help me out tremendously :D
No problem
Imagine how quick this will be able to be done during the 5x XP weekend!!
Desperately waiting for a new watch mule guide. Subbed my friend.
Thanks for the sub! I aim to have a beginners guide with full watch mule details out before the end of the month at latest
Can you include a “no mates” variant ?
You don't even have to beat Keener to get the watch? That's Cheesedick bull$#!t and breaks the story immersion, the Devs need to STOP catering to the "new player".
Do you know how terrified and excited both a buddy and I were when we faced off with Keener with our HardCore Characters, so affraid we were going to die just to get that watch and now all I have to do is stand at the base and do weekly donations to eventually get one? Very VERY bad moves on the Devs part.
Griping aside thanks for your vid and info, it is appreciated.
Perfect! That was the one issue with the update I was really worried about and nobody was talking about :) Thanks so much for putting my mind at rest :)
Could one just run Countdown in heroic, over and over until they reach level 40 and achieve the same thing??
Coubtdown unlocks at level 40
we´ve done like this:
2 People + 2nd PS
Both with main on challenging 5 Dirctives clear until the last room
Room before the end the 2nd ps4 takes place at the smaler one, only to hold the map
Buddy change the char to that wone we want to pull and join me -> 1. clear
After we go to the char on the 2nd PS and clear the 2nd time
Challenging 5 directives lv 40 in 1h7m / normaly we´ve done in 1h45m to 2h
Note: The xp received from the smaller one increases a little as the level increases
thx for the video :)
Minus 800 levels for the 4 categories
This is sad, i couldn't face running WoNY and kept all 4 characters and wouldn't want to lose any of them now but would definitely do this if I had a spare one 😢
I'm heavily considering clearing 100 items from my stash to delete my last char for this. 2000 watch level is a lot of materials.
@@DR-oy4hv You will have a 5th character in season two. If you can wait another 4 months.
@@xPUGSLYx I'm frugal with my watch points, I can wait - but I don't think we'd get to share the resources from watch points until our seasonal character joins the others at the end of the season, so that's a much longer wait
@heinousmule You might be right there. Not sure how that will all work yet.
Gc. You mentioned that now with the new update, ur new character will have tje same watch level as the main character but I saw that it was 800 less on the watch as it has been.
Yeah, 800 go to all the nodes that you need to filll out
When you boost to new york are your resources and blueprints shared? One thing people did before was to wait to share until you get the watch and spend your points. This allowed you to go over the hard limits for resources.
No, you must buy these from inyana is it? That should all work the same
My new mule isn't sharing? The scavenging doesn't reflect my main character. 😢
A mule holds thing, a throw away agent is an agent that you use the watch and throw away. my 2 and 3 agents are mules. my 4th agent is a Throw Away Agent. they hold nothing.
A mule is a domestic equine hybrid between a donkey and a horse.
In the case of "watch mule" which is used by many in The Division 2. It is a character used to hold onto watch levels that are accumulated through your main. The higher your main watch level, the more levels your watch mules will get 👍
Its not letting me share my material's.Shes not selling the blueprint
Is this patched ? I'm on a level 40 and I don't have the option to check my watch , there's a grenade in the watch slot on the menu.
@@infamousnotoriousxx3 you need to go to white house and go to the bottom floor where the computer is, the voice saying warmer and colder is telling you where to go
@@mason3615 thank you agent!😎
What u are doing wrong here @GCROCK is that u running normal missions, even u should already know that invaded gives first runners(mules) over 1 milj exp on heroic + 5 directives, when they first run it with this method. (getting 2 levels at 1 run) So basically u could get level 40 even faster when u actually run Invaded, how about u test it? Then u should update ur video tutorial so people dont use their time on normal missions.
And if your friend(s) have already done their invadeds? Plus the fact lincoln is super fast and easy with all directives. Not saying you are wrong but this way isn't exactly wrong either 👍
This did not work for me, im shd 5500. Changed to my fourth character, joined someone who had their world on challenging with 4 directives, but I was not getting the same xp
Fantastic news, but if we wanna be realistic, it’s already hard enough to find 3 people to help you with watch mules (yes, even with discord LFG), but finding 4 to 6 is almost impossible
Depends on how many friends you make. Use the community to make friends and then this is easy. Use the community to just seek help and nothing else, yeah it may be a tad rough. We have countless teams that help each other watch mule. Many came to us as solo players. It can be done.
Someone, kindly describe about; what is the advantage of making a new character? And what if we still play with our usual character?
New character gives you all your watch levels to spend again meaning a ton of resources. The higher the watch level, the more resources.
@@GCROCK thank you and subbed : )
people go to a new 40 agent to craft godrolls on buged station when you level up a new char.thats all
People have been making watch mules for years to spend watch levels on resources. This bug has just been for the last week and will get fixed. People will still make mules to spend watch levels on resources
Shout out to smegy, got me my eb 🙏👏
Smeggy and the Dark Horses are legends
What happens if you are solo, I was level 32 did Jefferson trade centre and American history museum and I'm still level 32.
Was there any update to stop the watch mule from working? Reached lvl 49 thru dz leveling, but no watch. Thanks
Tried this and when I joined a friend my xp for the mission was significantly lower than what he was getting…Like 122k a mission on heroic with all directives
Me too. Not sure why that's happening.
The invitation works Only for WONY owners, non wony owners can't be invited until lvl 40. Tested it yesterday.
When I try to join a friend it says I need to complete the WONY first.
@@Rippegaming thats what i mean.
@@bigrock9637 I do own WONY. After watching the video, I was under the impression that as soon as I go to heven and go back to DC I'll be able to join my friends. And seems like that's not the case as the game forces me to complete the WONY before I can join them.
@@Rippegaming good to know, but... strange anyways.
It took me 2 weeks to get to level 20... I dont see how some people get to level 600.. I ran into one player at level 2000 lol I can't be on a game that long
You no longer have to do the expansion you can get the watch quicker
What build is smeggy using to clear the mission w/ 5 directives? I wanna help others on their mules
I did a muel to 40 last night and had that glitch. I thought id messed up but thanks to your vid ive just claimed my watch level rewards thank you so much @GCROCK
Why not do the season pass missions worth 700k with directives lol
It's much easier, open world with 5 directives, in 10 minutes or less you raise those 10 lvs. Greetings G!
Yeah ...but your not doing the levels... you just turn up for the glory
Nice find mate. Good copy.
Go to dz and have someone clear landmarks for you as well and it will be very quick
This will take a lot longer but yes. This is a great method also
@GCROCK your method is the fastest but having 6 people on standby willing to do this for you would be a challenge
Well it seems you have done this because of the double XP. We have tried it the same way and we've got only 240000xp
My Double XP was done and dusted. I was level 50 already at this point
Upon completion, I have no weekly or daily projects on the mule....any suggestions to get them back?
Wait wait wait! So I'm a returning player, I did the 1st raid, got eagle bearer and left...haven't played since....so do I need the Warlords expansion to continue and get everything again?
No, expansion is just the New York map and stroy missions now 👍👍
@@GCROCK very nice ty!
Solid info rock 🔥🔥
Just leveled my Agent to 40 and only got 4 Scavenger points? - my main Agent is over 2500 SHD?
Re log.and it will show correctly or fast travel to New York
Holy crap it worked thank you
Got to level 40 and have : NO projects to play : NO matchmaking
Why am I only getting 127k XP doing this
Or the mule could join three other clan members in there world and do control points,the mule sits back and lets the high rollers do the work
Negative unfortunately. Before level 40 control points and open world activities are worth next to nothing when it comes to xp
@@GCROCK not even if you join someone on there heroic map
@@dazzersquirrelnutkins3094 yup, the XP still sucks for you. Tested it yesterday.
@@GCROCKyou're the man!
When i try to join my friend it says" you need to start and complete the expansion to join"
More than likely it won't now
Would it not be quicker to join a team and complete open world events/ control points 3 carries while the mules hangs back at a safe distance?
No? It takes less than a minute to join a friend and you can see he went up 4 levels
Why so slow? I just started the game yesterday, and after 3 minutes, I was Watch Level 10,314 and playing solo. I guess we all can't be elite players. 😂
I assume you are taking the piss
Now quickly make new characters 100 pieces before it is nerfed materials doubling
How's the baby doing there guy?!
Just deleted a character and levelled up the new character to level 40 but didn't get all the watch points from my main character I've purchased the shared blueprints I levelled up to 40 in DC anybody know why I didn't all get the watch points
did you still don't know ? i have the same problem
@Osceola7272 You only get scavenging points, 800 points is points what goes to those 4 main slots, u NEVER get those so its always minus 800 points from what u get. Examble ur shd is 1500-800= 700 scavenging points what u can use ti get resource on ur mule. IMPORTANT: Use first all ur points to ur resources what u want (No money it do share account wide) AFTER that buy shared resources blueprint, u can this method get OVER resource limit.
Maybe have your buddy's do kenly college for you???
What is the point of having to have a new character? Is my main character gone? I haven't logged in for months...
Nothing has changed with your character. Video explains watch mules for unlimited resources
most things are easier with buddies👍
Granted may take bit longer but, think this is viable for solos too?
Dz landmarks are best solo. Takes about 2 hours
@@GCROCK Awesome! Much appreciated!
10 missions on heroic is going to net you 10 levels with or without directives. Directives are pointless.
Nah ya need directives mate makes it faster…
Your XP gain per mission is less as a lower than level 40 character. Maybe its less than 10 missions with directives but it is definitely quicker. Go no directives it will take a bit longer
You don't know what you're talking about
as someone with over 150 days of playtime and one of the most knowledgeable players in this game, directives make it quicker, directives effect completion XP, but not kill XP, but he is farming just the completion and not the kills, which makes it quicker

For beginner, fresh start player do u suggest start with boosting my character with wony?? or this will prevent me from playing the main and NY campain later. like it used to be back then?
Definitely don't boost. I mean you can BUT enjoy the game how it was intended for your first time.
@@GCROCK u r the best man. i was so confused what to do at start. so everything stays the same almost. all the new things i can take advantage of is for beyond endgame
@@KGunRoat Exactly this!
start in NY then travel top DC - no need to do the Keener manhunt anymore. Just gain XP
@@rregen8198 and i'll still be able to play the story in order? since i boosted the character i wont be able to play the story and its side missions?
Does an.ivaded mission give you more xp on a run? So say an american history would be nearly as quick as lincoln memorial.
Potentially! I never checked this
I use a level 30 character just for farming exotic components does this change mean level 30 won't exists anymore.
Good question. Not sure on this one. SHD aquisition project may no just unlock at 40 but I dont know
Your lvl 30 character now has no xp cap, they will keep gaining xp in the dz until you innevitably reach lvl 40. You can still get exotic components out of the boxes in the lvl 1-39 dz so when your character reaches 40 take advantage of all the shd lvls on your wathc, move your best 30 gear to your stash, delete and make a new boosted character and grab your gear and do it again.
@@Skippyflapjacks this is very good advice and I sure will do
Lol i love how certain people will defend this change but then they will look into exploits how to level up fast as possible. It tells how much pointless this seasonal nonsense actually is.
This has nothing to do with the seasonal stuff at all. Watch mules have been a thing for years. This is the new way to watch mules with the endgame changes regarding the all one endgame.
@@GCROCK But I'm sure you and everyone else will be posting exploits on how to level up the seasonal character fast ( not a dig mate as I look forward to watching the content lol)
@@Seany-boy I dont do exploits. But yes those that do will
On reaching level 40 in DC didnt you have to go back to NY to kill Keener to get the watch, then travel back to DC to buy the shared materials ??
not anymore
@@gnarlyraccoon32 so you cant buy and share materials anymore ??
@geoffbucks5803 you still can buy and share materials, you just don't have to kill keener
@@gnarlyraccoon32 thats bloody awesome ! i hated that grind after grind in WONY with new charecters

Hey, GC! Awesome vídeo as always! What about the level 30 exotic chests farm at DZ? Its not going to happen anymore, right? (Not sure if you know about, but people used to do level 30 characters just to open chests at DZ and farm exotic components. The Server was way better, nobody around, no rogue and you could open alone, but the watch wouldnt leave the SHD 30).
Passed all my dz ressources to my lvl 30 character and went to 2 dz sellers and no more exotic caches 🤦♂️
And lots or purple gear dropping in dz
@@David-sx2dm But were you able to open chests inside DZ to farm exotic components? 😬
@@gigirocksdivision
I didn’t even tried, did a drop and everything was purple, will take a look tonight, stuck with 700 dz ressources in this character, i guess that i will have to lvl to 40 to use this ressources
@@David-sx2dm Yes, thats what I was thinking: no "level 30 agent" anymore! Thank you for sharing!
I believe there is still a genralised DZ for level 30-39 players from what I can tell.
What about doing public executions 5 directives and level 40 friend is host?
XP for Open world activities before level 40 is horrible
I’m saying your level 40 friend doing public ex and he carries
-800 SHD points 5000 would get you 4200

can you do a solo method ?
Solo your best bet is just to boost to Warlords of New York and complete the Expansion as quick as you can. This can take anywhere from 4-6 hours. Even with just 1 friend this can be cut closer to 2-3 hours
Call always for backup. Most of the time they will fast travel to the safe houses and help you with 1-2 missions. This will reduce the time to 1-2 hours.

"have friends" *sigh*
I dont have friend 😂😂😂
lol what are these friends you speak about?
can you solo public executions challanging with 5 directives if you don have friends that can carry you to farm exp?
Definitely
No, before level 40 you cannot change the difficulty of the world. Open world activities is poor for xp also.
Solo, best way is to start new and boost to New York. And then just complete the expansion.

Ridiculous. Just get a half dozen of your closest clan mates to carry you so you can optimize your fastest leveling. I'm sorry but this is out of touch for +95% of the playerbase. While not technically wrong this is just clickbait.
