- Title Update 15 brought new life to The Division 2 with new gear, a new game mode and Proficiency & Expertise
The latter is, I believe, a great addition to the game, however, it has been very difficult for newer players to grasp. So in this video, I'm gonna break down exactly how Proficiency and Expertise work in The Division 2
So if you're not sure how to gain proficiency levels or how to increase your expertise, check out this video

I’ve watched a lot of content on this subject area and by far, yours was the most simple and clear cut. So easy to understand. Like and subscribed
Thank you for the kind words and the support. Much appreciated
Certainly, I concur. I appreciate the thoroughness of your explanation; it has prompted me to modify my approach.
Been gone for 700 days, returned to all this new systems. Thanks for explaining them. ))
I started playing div 2 about 3 weeks ago and wow there is so much to learn and grind for it’s insane. I’m rather disappointed with how much of a disadvantage new players are at without a maxed out watch and expertise level.
@@androidoszpsz5873 this person is giving their opinion just like you are. You are complaining about someone complaining. Nice.
Lol 😂
@@androidoszpsz5873 I'm a week in playing and feel like you may not be one of the players that come through when you call for backup then carry you and destroy everyone for you and at the end of the mission drop you a bunch of high level gear and weapons for you to pickup....you more like "grind for it like everybody else bitch" 🤣🤣
I would beg to differ. Starting fresh now will help you gaining proficiency passively by just playing and not even realising yo uare already leveling it.
The game is a nightmare for a new solo player from level 5 - 30 you really need help from other players just to walk down the street till you gear level increases.
I'm a newbie that just got to endgame in Div2 and i've watched so many vids about expertise and proficiency and this by far is the clearest and easiest to understand. no extraneous words to distract from the useful info that you provide. Thank you! lol
Great video! Returning player and was struggling to get my head around this system in its entirety.
You explained it with simple and thorough expertise!
Thank you 👍
Coming back after a half year break. This is all new to me, intriguing. Gonna see what I can do with this!
Was very lost about this subject for a long time, glad someone like yourself made this video. very helpful sir thank you
It’s been a year since you posted this and you just opened my eyes to understanding expertise. Thank you
@aBL1NDnoob
Salutations !!
Returning to Div 2 after 2 yrs & I was like wtf ? Proficient, Expertise? Your explanation was crystal clear & on point.
Thank You !!
Wow this is such a good and thorough guide. Thank you so much for starting from the basics and really explaining everything
Agreed with Winston Williams.
Your explanation and detailed of the expertises is by far the best one out there to be honest. Thank you much appreciate it. And also thank you for taking the time to do some examples as well.
One thing I hate about the "donate all junk" is that a lot can be wasted. If you have items that are purple or items that are already proficient marked as junk, they disappear from you inventory and it gains you nothing. They're just gone for nothing. I wish they'd change that. So, when marking your junk, be careful not to mark anything that is already proficient or anything that can't be powered up. You're just throwing it away. Dismantle it or sell it.
I think they fixed that now because Inuse the donate junk option all the time and all the proficient gear stays in the inventory marked as junk
@@Frvnklin Yep. Fixed now.
Thank you for this video bro! I personally needed it. I can finally start working on getting my system corruption and Eagle bearer to new heights!
An EB with more damage…. Gonna be Tenacity for days!
@@aBL1NDnoob we are in the big leagues now!😃💯
Best expertise guide on YT hands down. Thank you very much, appreciated and subbed.
Seeing as there’s probably dozens of expertise videos out there by now, it’s pretty cool to hear this. Much appreciated
The best EXPLANATION of this system so far!!!
Agreed, everyone else just throws out random info and talk around the topic.
Been looking for someone who could give me the info about this subject and you gave it with too much info and just straight to the point! thanks alot man!
Thanks for taking the time to write such a nice comment. Really do appreciate it
Well thanks for the best explenation so far now I know what to do.
Glad I could help 👍
Great job explaining something so convoluted.
Its crazy to that this system is barely explained in game
Thanks!!! This finally summed it up quickly and clearly!!
Great video man, watched a few others and this is the most thorough and best explained. Just got yourself a new sub, keep it up 👌🏾
Appreciate the support. Glad it could help
Very good explanation. One of the best I've watched.
Your video in the literal first minute taught me that the list on the expertise window, actually goes down a bunch, lol.
I wonder what else it do, so... Let's find out!
First video that actually got me to understimuleret this system fully!
Absolutely fantastic video thanks so much! Liked and subscribed
Clear and concise, ty:) I'll be referencing back to this when needed.
Trying to get back into playing... this video was a great help
Thank u very much for explaining it in terms I could understand!!! U Got a new sub here!!
Glad it could help. Appreciate the support
THANK YOU!!!!!!! Definitely subscribe now
Ok so this is really really min maxing thanks for the explanation. Sounds like I shouldn’t worry about this topic for a while…
Nice break down man… really good informative vid 💯🤙🏽
awesome video. appreciate you
Incredibly useful. Thank you for this video.
The armor expertise definitely makes a difference in PVP!
Good finely some one that gets to the point easily simple and proficient thanks
Great video!
Very helpful! Thx
very well explained, thanks!
Perfect video for new players 👍
Instant Sub for this explanation Thnx
Thank you bro, very much appreciated. +1 sub.
Trying to understand how the donation versus efficiency works, example if a gun is proficient and you donate it it doesn’t give you anything towards the efficiency, it only gives you an increase in material used upgrade. I guess the question is in my better off, running my proficient billsinstead of trying to get everything proficient
Video makes me sad at the end I do miss the old heartbreaker gear 😢😢
Thank so much 👍🏾
Very good video. But the music is too loud 😊😊
Extremely well described. A question, is it more efficient to equip only one unproficient item so that all the kill XP gets assigned to it or several and the kill XP gets shared to them all, or does it not work that way? All I've got left to make proficient are most of my skills, most exotics (the useless ones that is), and a few rare weapons. Using printer filament is taking an eternity and very, very expensive using shd points to but currency then buying skill attachments etc. 2.25m credits per proficiency level I think.
It’s better to equip as many unproficient items as possible. Each will gain XP irrespective of the rest of your build. Recently I’ve been running a lot of floor 10 on challenging with nearly all the directives. It’s very easy, so I can equip a build with random gear and skills that aren’t proficient, it’s fast, it drops a lot of gear that I can crush and donate the mats for providence, and I can levels fast - and since I have 4 characters, every level actually = 4 SHD points
@@aBL1NDnoob thanks for that. I'm on it. I must be missing something though, why do extra characters give you more shd points? The game has got to the point for me that getting to 20 is the only challenge.
Google User when you level up and gain an SHD point on one character, that point also goes to your other level 40 characters.
@@aBL1NDnoob Again, thanks. I didn't know that. I had one other simply to use as a store. 2 more characters coming up and then a lot of button pushing!
Google User oh god. The button pushing… 😭
I liked the game and bought dlc and everything. But basically once you finish all you gotta do is grind proficiency…. Lost interest in game. Sad, really liked it.
Why is this video so hard to find? I’ve been needing THIS video for over a year (been playing 1.5y’s) and everything is full of crappy hacks or the wrong topics
Because when I was making Div content, I was focused on quality. Whereas the other creators are focused on quantity. Glad it was helpful
@@aBL1NDnoob it was perfect. Thank you
@@THUNDER52 these kind of comments really do help. Thanks for taking the time to share some positivity. Really appreciate it
What I see only the weapons are worth to get to max expertise-proficency!
Definitely right for expertise. Armor isn’t worth maxing out past expertise 11. But you’ll need to level up the proficiency of all your gear to be able to increase your expertise. Also, some skills gain pretty significant boosts from expertise
Well said. Would have been better if I saw this video before.
Appreciate the kind words
Thanks 👍
Thank you! I am not fan of this game, the whole point of leveling up things is to get an edge on the game. So farming is close to pointless. The game gets boring fast, half of the finished game is locked behind a pay wall expansion and vendors are useless. Would be nice to have a zombies mode (since rainbow six seige had a zombies mode) but my intuition tells me massive would somehow make that boring or tedious and unfun.
What the name of resource shaped like a flag? It is required for level six and above.
Excellent video. I have a question. What is the fastest way you have leveled a gun? There's guns I've never used at any point.
Guns are hard to level up by using them. So for weapons you never use, I’d recommend donating materials, in particular, printer filament. An easy way to farm printer filament is by doing countdown and setting mods to your target loot. Break them down and they’ll give you 6 printer filament per mod
@@aBL1NDnoob Thanks for the quick response and pro tip 👍🏻
Im lvl 30, where should i start? I want max out the 200 rnd LMG
So what if you maxed out all your weapons proficiency and your stuck at a expertise level. Im at 6 and it looks like i will cap out by 13 expertise level
I know your primarily a PvP player, what are your thoughts on this Expertise stuff?
I think it was a cool idea. But at the same time, it’s flawed. PvE was already pretty easy, and with expertise, it’s only gonna get easier. They should’ve added more legendaries or harder content. Expertise has no place in pvp. There is already a huge gap between new players and experienced players in pvp. Expertise is only gonna widen that gap. But, if massive had disabled expertise in pvp ( which I think they should have), the PvP community probably would have cried because PvE got another big update with nothing for PvP. So I get why they had to put it in pvp as well. Just kinda sucks for the inexperienced/casual players
My gear set says it's proficient but when I try to upgrade it says my expertise level is insufficient, how do I level up my expertise level??
How do you level up skills, sheild, turrent etc.
so basically, to level up something i have to use it until i get to the right expertice lvl, and then use another piece of the same gear to lvl it up? or does the second part not matter?
For a brand set, or gear set, the second part doesn't matter. But, equipping two pieces of gear at the same time will level it up faster. Just keep in mind, named items do not count towards brand sets. they are unique and have to be leveled up on their own
Man i just started and am super confused. I have been using the same to gold level weapons but my proficiency doesnt seem to be going up very fast
Unfortunately, epecially for weapons, it takes a while to get your gear proficient. It's the basis of this game. Grind, grind, grind. Really good game, but you've got to really enjoy repitition to fully enjoy it
How do I level up my honey Badger when it won't let me donate any materials? Just says proficient and now I can't do anything else with it.
You need to click on the honey badger then select a specific honey badger to level up. Also, what expertise level are you?
How about a quick one on getting resources ?
Good idea. I’ll see if I can whip one up in the next few days
Excellent video! I now know what I’m going to level up. However, I am having a problem with my Heartbreaker build. Since the nerf, I wanted to change one piece (my backpack) from blue to red. When I put on that backpack, I don’t get the stacks. Do I need to have 4 blues in order for it work? Or all red or something? I’m stumped. Any suggestions?
Personally, I’m not a big fan of HB, but I’ve heard it has issues with building stacks. When that happens, take off a piece of HB, then put it back on and it should work. There’s no requirement for the number of blue or red cores HB needs to build stacks
HB became good for pve only, assuming that you are a pvp player.
Ok, thanks guys, I’ll try that.
Expertise level all you have to do is create new character put all resources on your expertise level delete character and start a new character rinse and repeat that how I finish leveling up exotics are different have to farm for more exotic components to level up all exotics 🤔🤨
Great video, thanks for the info. Off topic where did u find all the Ceska gear? Thanks!
Thanks for such clear info - one question - is deconstructing the same as donating ?? i fear i have deconstructed too much rather than donating to increase my expertise levels - no wonder im making no progress !
Deconstructing and donating are different. With deconstructing, you just get materials. What you do with those materials is up to you. You can use them for recalibrating, crafting, projects, whatever. Donating can be done with gear that is not yet proficient. For example, if my Wyvern is not proficient and I pick up some wyvern loot that I don’t want, I can go to the optimization table and donate them (easiest if you mark them as junk and just select “donate all junk”. Donating the wyvern pieces will give me points towards my wyvern profile cut ranking. Does this make sense?
@@aBL1NDnoob thank you very much for your reply and such detail. I understand the differnce much better now - tho i think im going to have to practice it more to get it right but your explanation really helps
@@aBL1NDnoob My expertise level is only 3 so i guess theres not much i can do to increase that is there other than playing and grinding more ? or is there a faster way ? thank you
@@geoffbucks5803 a good way to increase your expertise, is every week, check all the vendors. If any of them are selling items that you don’t have proficient, buy as many as you need to donate and get proficient. This way verrrry effective for me until I got to level 14. Also, you can craft items and donate them if they aren’t proficient. It use to be half a proficiency level per donated item, but I think they may have nerfed it recently
@@aBL1NDnoob thanks. I will try this
Can you tell me what bonus you get after made full specialisation? Minigun..
Are you talking about completing the field research? I believe you get the blueprint for the named Sleipner LMG
This doesn't make sense. You are at 75/344 and Expertise 7. I am at 78/344 and only Expertise 5. Any idea's what's going on?
Probably has to do with the incorrect amount of XP that was being rewarded for enemy kills. I was rolled back from expertise 8 to 5 after they fixed it
What's the best way to make your specializations proficient
For me, I mostly use sharpshooter. So just having it equipped leveled it up for me. But if you use a variety of specializations, this will be harder. In that case, donating printer filament is never a bad idea.
@@aBL1NDnoob thanks bro
Learning this game is like learning out to do your taxes.
Haha ya, it’s quite deep
TYTY!
Hey! I don.t understand, why only a few of the pieces equipped get proficieny points?! What it.s the sistem? I don't get it! 🤔
For proficiency, the entire set gets the points (gear set, brand set, weapon type, skill), but for expertise, it’s only individual pieces get leveled up. So I could have 2 FAMAS, if I level up the expertise for one, the other FAMAS will not get the points. Does this help?
@@aBL1NDnoob yes, thank you. It.s strange this game sometimes, it.s not explaining correctly, so everyone could understand! ✌️
Nicoleta Octavia it’s a very confusing game, that’s for sure
@@aBL1NDnoob sometime, it is!
U didn't say what the point if leveling is
sorry about that. the whole point of leveling everything up is to become more powerful. Your guns will hit harder, you will get more armor (tankier), your specialization weapons will be stronger, and skills will become more effective
@@aBL1NDnoob thanx...it's cool but really sl-o-o-o-w.
@@aBL1NDnoob sorry but it makes no difference as the game levels up aswell so no real point 2 it all!!! example is when u play solo the game sets ncp`s to that ,when u play in a group the game hits harder!!!
I donate all my junk and it all stays the same... Please help...
You may need to donate them one at a time. I remember there used to be a glitch with the donate all button
@@aBL1NDnoob i did try to donate one item once, with no success. Should I try it again? Over and over? honest question.
@@PhoenixKing1611 May I ask what exactly you're donating?
@@aBL1NDnoob I play on Playstation which the button is Square for "Donate all Junk" which I would assume would be anything I would mark as "junk" in my inventory. I have held down the button and tapped i to be sure, and the items disappear from my inventory ,but no number changes anywhere. except for the number of items in my inventory.
@@PhoenixKing1611 that really sucks. Never heard of it before
Bro, the background music is way too prominent. It’s hard to a risky concentrate on anything you’re saying.
So for an instructional video this isn’t the most appropriate. Had to close out at 0:56 because it’s just too intrusive.
Ya, I’ve had a lot of feedback on the background music and have decided to remove it completely from future videos. Appreciate the constructive criticism
@@aBL1NDnoob cool!
Otherwise it’s probably the best instructional video on the expertise system. Filled in a lot of blanks for me. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Can’t see my proficient gear in the table
I may be misunderstanding, but: make sure you’re checking the right section. For example, look under kneepads as opposed to overlord armaments for the named Fox’s prayers. Let me know if this isn’t the issue and I’ll try and help again
@@aBL1NDnoob first of all thanks. I just didn’t scroll far enough was looking for walker & harris. 😄
This is my issue with the game. As much as I love it for a casual gamer, like myself, it’s far too complicated.
Maybe some in game tutorials to explain these things would be useful, so people didn’t need to come to TH-cam to learn how to use it
This shii is still confusing asf why they change the system and make it more difficult and complex i love the game still but I hate this part of the loot system or upgrading system
I hear ya. It’s far from straight forward. But tbh, it’s not required, so if you don’t wanna do it, nothing is forcing you to. In PvP, you’ll miss out a bit, but in PvE, you’ll be just fine.
The fact that it takes a video to explain this absolutely overly convoluted system proves it's implemented so poorly. Bunch of primates slamming on the keyboards over at Ubisoft I swear to God. This could have been so straight forward.
Made me 4x stronger thanks brother
Sooo much resources to use !!!! Soon will be depleted
Great video earned a sun next time lose the music
Appreciate the feedback 👍
Who defuq has 3000 hrs a day to frind dat shit 😂😂
It's pretty ridiculous, I agree. I know a lot of people who got a Cronus so they could literally afk farm this stuff
Well explained ty
It all makes sense now lol, I have 6000 printer filament lol
