I appreciate all the support on the video, it means a lot. If you're looking for people to team up with or just want to talk about the Division 2 then you're welcome to join the 4 AM Discord discord.gg/VFVeDY99Xt. We have some experienced players and new players as well so anyone is welcome to join.
First time in the DZ, a couple players were just hanging out outside the checkpoint, talking, laughing, sharing stories. I thought to myself, “Wow, the DZ seems really chill.” I kept it moving, exploring, looking for things to do, loot to gather. I came across a named elite. I whooped its ass and was about to collect my first loot drop when I noticed someone running towards me. I quickly recognized one of the players from the checkpoint earlier. So I didn’t shoot. But they did. The guy said, “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t following you.” Challenge accepted 🤬 Not taking anymore prisoners next time in the DZ
Yeah you never know what you're going to get in the DZ. You'll run into really chill people and also absolute maniacs. A lot of players purposely act toxic or do stuff like following you to make you mad. Making people mad in the DZ is how a lot of team fights start, which is what pvper's want. Once you get more experience then you'll be able to swap builds and get revenge on those kind of players.
Yea bro it’s the wild Wild West in there be careful 🤣😂🤣😂 what I do though is I’ll pop off two separate extraction points and then sometimes after I pop the second one I’ll run back to the first just in case I’m being followed
I experienced the same. Thought the same. Shoot everyone. But: I run yesterday in a dude, both of us did PvE. He looked at me with the gun, I looked at him. Both thought the same. Waiting. Nothing happend. Suddenly he invited me and we did 2 hours of PvE and little defending PvP in the DZ. These standoffs I love in Division 2. No hunt showdown can give these moments (mostly) :-D
I'm kinda sad that streamers and TH-camrs haven't taken this opportunity in this game. Trust me I know all about going into the dz and fighting a whole squad that goes rogue. But I specifically went into the dz with no intent on pvp. So as soon as I spawned in I noticed someone had just entered the dz seconds before me. So I followed him. As soon as he started a landmark I turned on my mic. I let him know I was following him from the beginning and if he was interested in teaming up. The whole day ended up like that. Just running around asking people if they'd want to team. I'm now part of a clan.
Farming in the DZ sucks if you're a PVE player by nature. Can't tell you how many times I picked up great gear only to have it taken by players who only prey on others. If You don't run with a solid team in the DZ, but still want to farm, what I recommend is, as soon as you enter the DZ, I start looking for nearby agents by going to your social window and invite them to the group. You don't have to have a pulse to scan for nearby agents. All you have to do is push the options button and go to social and it will reveal nearby agents. And then just click on that nearby agent and then invite them to the group. Within minutes I'll have a whole team of other solos.
finally a guide that tells me the difference between contaminated and normal loot and only dropping contaminated loot, thankyou so much man, relives the stress so much
The most fun I've had in the game has been in the DZ and I'm pretty average at pvp in this game. Team up with people you meet in there, use in-game chat, and don't get made when you die.
Yeah I hear you, it's actually pretty easy to get into solo or low population DZ for the South DZ and the NW DZ. If you run into a big group then try another DZ and keep in mind it really doesn't matter if you get killed because the loot is subpar at anyway.
In terms of gear drops yes its about the same in the regular game, but there's a higher chance of legendary gear. Also you get an xp boost. Just an hour or 2 in the dz and you'll lvl up fast. Also if you die and you haven't extracted or left the dz then you'll lose some of your xp gain. Avoiding hostle players is a bit tricky but just looking at your map and paying attention when and how many people go rogue can really help you pin point where the douches of the dz are prowling around.
The dark zone is fun especially when u team up with players. You can meet them in the world , and form a group then u can take on Landmarks together. It's so much fun, i have recently found out how average the loot is in the DZ , a surprising move from the developers, why did they decide to have average loot in a mode that's based around extracting loot and surviving.. weird the best gear should have been at the DZ to motivate players to get into DZ. What a missed opportunity
I agree, I love the DZ, it’s all I play any more. When The Division 1 launched the DZ was great for loot, but a ton of pve players complained about being forced to go there for loot when they didn’t want to. So the loot quality got nerfed hard and they kept it that way when Division 2 launched. I wish DZ rewarded pvp focused gear, that’d be a welcome change.
@@4AMSession to be honest i disagree with the player base who played division 1 , DZ should have superior loot because that's the goal here, extracting good gear. It makes the experience more meaningful. They felt that the game forced them to go to DZ ? The right word to use is tempted, the game should tempt players to go ahead and play the best multiplayer mode in a looter shooter , i don't think that's wrong.
@@4AMSession btw ur right about PvP rewards in DZ. I am glad u mentioned PvP, how do u identify PvP gear ? Do you have any idea how to compete in PvP ? My guns turn to peashooters against other online players especially in conflict and the online enemies kill me in 2 seconds. The experience punishes new players, it's totally unbalanced. The worst part is that some of these PvP veterans troll you when they kill you , it sucks they just won because they have superior gear not skills.
@@themanbehindthescreen8226 pvp builds and gear are kind of hard to explain because it depends on what build you're going for. In short, high rpm weapons are good (vector, lady death, famas) and you probably should run around 1.5 million armor, plus a shield. I'm still learning about pvp so I'm not qualified yet to make a pvp build video. Watch a couple DZ build videos and you'll start to recognize certain build aspects that are being used.
@@4AMSession i see , PvP is kind of lame then cz everyone is saying the same thing DPS with lady death. I want a skill build for PvP is that possible ?
Awesome. My bruve and i got in the dark zone last night, this is such a cool game. It's a pitty this game isn't cross platform, at least I'm pretty sure it isn't as my bruv playes pc mainly, but has a ps4, but couldn't play on pc with me on concol. Good upload 👍
Yeah the only cross play is between PC and Google Stadia. I have friends who play on console too but I'm on PC so it sucks not being able to team up with them.
@@4AMSession They should really make this cross platform. I mean it's not like CoD where it would matter, and the people in division dont seem as toxic as Cod. I love playing COD but its abit messy at the moment. I'm going to join your discord to. I used to play Watchdogs Legion but its got many graffic issues they need to sort out.
In summit is possible to obtain almost all gear manufactures, but system corruption and yaahl gear not Yaahl can be found in dz or sometimes buy at vendors ( dz or normal) Corruption is possible get from dz like loot or from dz crates or now from this Season
Why does no one matchmake into DZ groups anymore? The DZ is unforgiving to solos, but it is a great source of loot in general, xp for watch leveling, dz proficiency caches and of course, DZ specific loot. And all you have to do is go in as a team of 4 and your chances of having a good time sky rocket.
Yeah it's rough as a solo sometimes, especially if you aren't experienced and groups will steam roll a lobby. But when you have a good lobby and have some fun fights then it feels worth it. It's not for everyone but I've had some of my best moments in the game while in the DZ.
I went into the DZ while levelling, and you seem to get better quality gear. I got my first purple/ orange gear in the dz. Maybe things have changed since this video
Iam very good in dark zone of division 1 but when it's comes to the division 2 dark zone , I can't really figure out what to do ! Thanks for the video, it helped me a lot ❤️
The people who rule the Darkzone have been there since day one and absolutely curb stomp you before you have a chance to learn anything from the encounter or get any practice fighting against other players. I did terrible there and it wasn't very fun to not even stand a chance. Oh well. I think most online games are this way. If you're not playing 24/7 from day one, you won't ever be good. Don't even think about trying to matchmake. Nobody will join you. I'm farming PVP equipment and I'm trying to fight as many enemies in the Lightzone "out of cover" as I can to get accustomed to out of cover combat. (Since none of the things that make you a good PVE player help you at all in PVP.) It's been a learning experience. I'm doing all of this while farming Lady Death. I've killed about 60 of the overworld bosses in NY on Challenging and no luck. Is there a way to mute others in the Darkzone? I really don't want to listen to people who PVP 24/7 talk shit about me because I'm trying to get better. It really makes me angry. For Division 3, I recommend Ubisoft make it so that you take CONSIDERABLY less damage when "in cover" up until others are about two feet away from you. This would encourage people to use cover so that PVE and PVP don't have to be completely different. It was upsetting to get really good at PVE and find out it didn't help at all in PVP. I felt very cheated and that it was a waste of time. They need to do a better job with Division 3. The community definitely thinks less of you if you're not good at PVP and just prefer PVE. It makes me want to not play the game at all. It's like the game was designed to make you feel bad about yourself.
The toughest thing is finding a good DZ lobby, keep jumping between DZ’s if a group is stomping everyone. Also if there are solo’s or duo’s who don’t shoot you on sight then ask if they want to team up. You can still get better and make plays, there’s plenty of average players in the DZ but you need to be ok with dying a lot. You really need to have a strong build and to play to the strength of your build if you want to win fights. I’ve been farming for LD for 4 months and it won’t drop, it’s extremely annoying at this point. Disable VOIP in the audio settings, that’ll mute everyone in the DZ except for your group. Lastly, if you’re on pc then I’d gladly team up for some DZ or farming runs.
When they added the SHD watch they over killed It. Cuz now If your SHD watch Is not at level 1000 you’re basically done(not speaking In terms of having a chance.) you will be put down In less than 4 seconds. The other crazy part about It Is you’re not allowed to hide your level from other players so If they see that you are a low level they will go after you 70% of the time. But atleast they are kind enough to let you know that you will be killed because what they do Is they pulse you so they know where you are at.
Dude, nice guide, this helped a lot. I haven't played the game, but when I do, I feel like I'm not gonna have a very hard time. Anyways dude, good video and you seem like a nice dude.
It's more on the miserable side for me on PS4. I've run with a squad and solo, and I seem to meet the toxic people who simply want to kill just because. So I mainly run PvE
I ignore the existence of dark zones now. Went there a couple of times but when I encountered one of the god mode cheaters I had heard about I never went back.
Hey bro very nice vid. i under the impression the DZ was the DZ because it supposed to give good loot, that you challenge other players for, but your saying its no different. i dont like pvp anyways so is there really no point in goig to the DZ if i dont have to. And when i get to the point of the summit, should i just do that instead?
I'm a noob in this game but i do like the division. I try to farm for better equipment since my character gear are kinna weak but, in dz it's frustrating when you try your best to farm then other player with better gear comes behind you,kill you and steal your loot. Sheeshh...
That's definitely annoying, I do material gathering runs in the DZ and get a jumped a lot. Don't farm gear in the DZ, the rolls are absolute trash. You're better off farming gear in PVE then going into the DZ to test how good your build is.
When you hack an shd terminal in the dark zone you are supposed to go rogue and gray skull icons are supposed to appear telling where other terminals or dark zone loot boxes are. When I hack one the grey skull icon never appears. I also don’t get any e credits. Would you happen to know why this is happening?
Same here. Maybe they took it away. I was In a DZ by myself(Just by sheer luck.) and I decided to hack the Rogue Terminal and tried to find the others,but with little time they give you plus looking for the others Is difficult at best.
nice video man, short and objective. Dark Zone is only created to nerd with no live, with full of time and a lot of high end tier items can battle each other to see who is more nerd and have the high roll items... If you wanna have fun, grind, and good items to have a good time with your friends, do the summit and be happy. Dark Zone is only make you sad and dont have loot to efoorth that. that is the true. Ps. Sry for my ugly english.
lol, your English is good dude. The Dark Zone is a true end game activity. You need to go in with a strong build and play to its strengths or else you're going to lose most fights. I love the DZ but if you don't have the right mind set then it definitely won't be enjoyable.
You mentioned it wrong regarding loot some of the loot with perfect talent variants like perfect vigilance,emperor guards kneepads,claws out holster are only exclusive to drop in dark zone. Still you can maybe wait and buy at dz vendor which however requires dz credits.
Sometimes it just isn't worth the hassle for just a few items compared to the vast majority of other items. Namely events and the summit, and the items that you can get.
I watched streamers play his when the division 2 first came out and sort of thought this was the whole game so never played it even though I bought I three years ago. Just started playing this week and I'm enjoying the light zones so far. only at level 11 and the first dark zones started to unlock. PVP isn't for me. Especially at my level.
Hey just a shout out to those who run with a squad and aren't meanies. If you see a squad going hostile and they extracting. Make sure they aren't just bullying solos that are passing by. I noticed that with my squad. Just followed this solo who got "too close" to this squad of 3 and they gunned him down. Ended up chasing the squad and killing one while the others got away. Thanks for the loot ImApandabear344 stop being a jerk just cause you're on edge
Bout to go in for the first time and hearing there will only be pve for the first time is a good thing to hear, however when i do start pvping is there any kind of balancing for if someone is level 1k and im only 16? Like is he going to just 1 shot me while i wouldnt even be able to get through his armor?
Low level players will be in the same DZ instance together. Once you reach a higher level you'll be matched against max level players. Expect to die a lot but there's basically no downside to dying since the DZ loot is garbage. Team up with people when you can and it'll be a lot more fun.
For solo DZ runs I use a meta SMG build: Lady Death or Vector with In-Sync, M870 shotgun with In-Sync, Fox's Prayer knee pads, Contractor's gloves, Matador named backpack with Perfect Adrenaline Rush, Sokolov chest with Intimidate, then 1 piece of Providence Defense for 15% headshot dmg, and 1 piece Grupo Sombra for 15% Crit dmg. Armor on 3 armor pieces which gives me 1.3 million armor, for skills I use decoy and the Striker shield.
You have to extract contaminated gear from the dark zone before you can equip it. Once extracted, you can pick up that gear from the mailbox in your stash.
I have 503 gear rating and apparently I still can't do any of the missions The standard enemy's can just shot like 4 times and kill me Someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong
I was running 2 providence defense, 1 grupo sombra, 1 fenris group, 1 walker & harris, and the Memento backpack. Famas and MPX were the guns and obliterate as the chest talent. It's definitely NOT a pvp build but for pve heroic activities it'll give you a good amount of damage.
Thanks for the vid, it´s quite informative. Could anybody please confirm that Murakami Emperors Guard Kneepads are available in the summit? I really thought that there are still a couple of items DZ exclusive...
yeah there's still DZ exclusive drops, the Murakami kneepads are only obtainable in the DZ. There's a couple more named items that are DZ exclusive as well.
@@4AMSession So the information around 8:00 regarding the summit is not correct. It´s not possible to collect Yaahl gear in summit. And there are some named items, that are DZ exclusive. DZ would be a nice gaming experience if people wouldn´t be that toxic. Still trying to get the Emperor Guard knees, but somebody always shoots me. You just have to aware of the toxic people in DZ and adjust your expectations accordingly :)
There’s a mode called Conflict which is like typical multiplayer in other games. Small map, matchmaking, and it’s 4v4. I prefer the DZ over Conflict any day. The DZ is an end game activity, there’s no sbmm. You need to have a good build or else you’re going to lose most fights. It’s going to be difficult for new players but it’s a ton of fun when you win fights.
@@4AMSession Could be fun! You seem to come from the US, which state? I would have to set my vpn and my time accordingly since I am stuck in France 😉 Edit: my gamer tag is the same as YT
Yup, burn, blind and emp work in PVP. I haven't made a build for it but you should look up a "status effect" build video. Some of those builds can dominate meta gear players.
Im just starting in this game, and Im already at gear 333. What're the top ways to up that gear score and get better loot? Is it just running summit or are there other ways?
Try farming strongholds, they may have a chance to drop higher gear score items, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I have the Warlords dlc so gear score doesn't exist for players with the dlc.
ideas like the dark zone are totally stupid on devs part. unless everyone scales no matter gear. first timers should not have to endure bullshit hazing till they get all the perks or build proper gear set. or get a mob of friends to go with. dz are the most stupid thing about div 2
I don’t like this game I am playing this game but the zone I really don’t like it. To many people that already have really good built but they don’t let other new players eat to.
As a solo player who occasionally plays with 1 friend I'm gonna stay out of the dark zone I guess. If there's not a point I don't see why I should go in there and basically get 1 shot over and over by douchebags.
That's the best part, keep running back to the fight after you die. Eventually if you win the fight then it feels worth it. I actually love the DZ despite the loot being trash and toxic players.
You forgot to mention the players who camp the CPs and call them selves "good" lol. Oh yeah the countless skill builds garbage players use and say "eaaaaasy 1v1" as they are 50+ yards away not shooting their weapon at all lol. What else is missing? Ah yes, the shit talkers who run their mouth in a 4 man group but seem to get oddly quiet after you wipe their team and leave them alone. 🤣
Yeah some days the DZ can be miserable. If I run into any of the stuff you listed I just switch DZ's or don't play the DZ that day because it's not worth dealing with those kind of players. I turned voip off which helps as well.

@Harvey Hanaya Famas and Vector, jump to 6:58 in the video and you'll see both weapons
So it’s just like the raid and breaking point what time of gear score?
“If it’s just for loot, the Dark Zone is not worth it.”
Exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks for the video.
Now, Raid-Exclusive, as well as the Legendary Mission-Exclusive Exotics have a chance to drop in the DZ👍🏻
Unfortunately, SOME loot is worth it and only be found in dark zone.
Kard Custom is one of them. A pistol that passively gives +1 skill tier.
First time in the DZ, a couple players were just hanging out outside the checkpoint, talking, laughing, sharing stories.

Why does no one matchmake into DZ groups anymore?

The community definitely thinks less of you if you're not good at PVP and just prefer PVE. It makes me want to not play the game at all. It's like the game was designed to make you feel bad about yourself.
The toughest thing is finding a good DZ lobby, keep jumping between DZ’s if a group is stomping everyone. Also if there are solo’s or duo’s who don’t shoot you on sight then ask if they want to team up. You can still get better and make plays, there’s plenty of average players in the DZ but you need to be ok with dying a lot. You really need to have a strong build and to play to the strength of your build if you want to win fights. I’ve been farming for LD for 4 months and it won’t drop, it’s extremely annoying at this point. Disable VOIP in the audio settings, that’ll mute everyone in the DZ except for your group. Lastly, if you’re on pc then I’d gladly team up for some DZ or farming runs.
@@4AMSession PS4. Sorry :(
But ty :)
exactly my thought agree
When they added the SHD watch they over killed It. Cuz now If your SHD watch Is not at level 1000 you’re basically done(not speaking In terms of having a chance.) you will be put down In less than 4 seconds. The other crazy part about It Is you’re not allowed to hide your level from other players so If they see that you are a low level they will go after you 70% of the time. But atleast they are kind enough to let you know that you will be killed because what they do Is they pulse you so they know where you are at.
@@friendlyfire2374 facts 👍
Thanks for the high quality video
Dude, nice guide, this helped a lot. I haven't played the game, but when I do, I feel like I'm not gonna have a very hard time. Anyways dude, good video and you seem like a nice dude.
Awesome dude, thanks for the positive feedback. Feel free to ask questions once you start getting into the game, I’ll be glad to help.
@@4AMSession Thanks man, happy to hear that
Do you lose your gear that you go in with if you die
Excellent overview 👍
🤝
They need to make a PVE only dark zone, leave the other 3 for the others.
Honest video. Thank you
I've gotten a lot more purple and high-end gear from the dz than the lz and I like the people in the dark zone. On ps4, players are mostly friendly
That's cool you're liking the DZ dude. It's really hit or miss, some days the DZ is great and other days it can be miserable.
It's more on the miserable side for me on PS4. I've run with a squad and solo, and I seem to meet the toxic people who simply want to kill just because. So I mainly run PvE
I ignore the existence of dark zones now. Went there a couple of times but when I encountered one of the god mode cheaters I had heard about I never went back.
Great video!
Thanks fam 🤝
Great video, gamer. Thank you!
Hey bro very nice vid. i under the impression the DZ was the DZ because it supposed to give good loot, that you challenge other players for, but your saying its no different. i dont like pvp anyways so is there really no point in goig to the DZ if i dont have to. And when i get to the point of the summit, should i just do that instead?
Very helpful. Thank you
Use emp grenades on all the shield/ladydeath dependents; those hurt shields much more than I thought
Great video! The way you explain it is very details and easy to follow
What should my other skill be?
I'm a noob in this game but i do like the division. I try to farm for better equipment since my character gear are kinna weak but, in dz it's frustrating when you try your best to farm then other player with better gear comes behind you,kill you and steal your loot. Sheeshh...
That's definitely annoying, I do material gathering runs in the DZ and get a jumped a lot. Don't farm gear in the DZ, the rolls are absolute trash. You're better off farming gear in PVE then going into the DZ to test how good your build is.
There are a couple drops exclusive to the DZ only. Does that make it worth it? In my opinion no, but still worth knowing.
Just went into one for the first time and idk why but a Player with all Red gear
So, summit and countdown drops dark winter 👀
When you hack an shd terminal in the dark zone you are supposed to go rogue and gray skull icons are supposed to appear telling where other terminals or dark zone loot boxes are. When I hack one the grey skull icon never appears. I also don’t get any e credits. Would you happen to know why this is happening?
Same here. Maybe they took it away. I was In a DZ by myself(Just by sheer luck.) and I decided to hack the Rogue Terminal and tried to find the others,but with little time they give you plus looking for the others Is difficult at best.
Did i miss you putting it on? Or something. What is it exactly..
nice video man, short and objective.
Dark Zone is only created to nerd with no live, with full of time and a lot of high end tier items can battle each other to see who is more nerd and have the high roll items...
If you wanna have fun, grind, and good items to have a good time with your friends, do the summit and be happy.
Dark Zone is only make you sad and dont have loot to efoorth that.
that is the true.
Ps. Sry for my ugly english.
lol, your English is good dude. The Dark Zone is a true end game activity. You need to go in with a strong build and play to its strengths or else you're going to lose most fights. I love the DZ but if you don't have the right mind set then it definitely won't be enjoyable.
You mentioned it wrong regarding loot some of the loot with perfect talent variants like perfect vigilance,emperor guards kneepads,claws out holster are only exclusive to drop in dark zone. Still you can maybe wait and buy at dz vendor which however requires dz credits.
Sometimes it just isn't worth the hassle for just a few items compared to the vast majority of other items. Namely events and the summit, and the items that you can get.
Yall tryna play though?? I'm on Xbox
I watched streamers play his when the division 2 first came out and sort of thought this was the whole game so never played it even though I bought I three years ago. Just started playing this week and I'm enjoying the light zones so far. only at level 11 and the first dark zones started to unlock. PVP isn't for me. Especially at my level.
Hey just a shout out to those who run with a squad and aren't meanies. If you see a squad going hostile and they extracting. Make sure they aren't just bullying solos that are passing by. I noticed that with my squad. Just followed this solo who got "too close" to this squad of 3 and they gunned him down. Ended up chasing the squad and killing one while the others got away. Thanks for the loot ImApandabear344 stop being a jerk just cause you're on edge
I'm only level 19 so it's not worth going in until I get a better level if there's so many players that take you out?
Actually you can’t get Yahl gear in summit
Bout to go in for the first time and hearing there will only be pve for the first time is a good thing to hear, however when i do start pvping is there any kind of balancing for if someone is level 1k and im only 16? Like is he going to just 1 shot me while i wouldnt even be able to get through his armor?
Low level players will be in the same DZ instance together. Once you reach a higher level you'll be matched against max level players. Expect to die a lot but there's basically no downside to dying since the DZ loot is garbage. Team up with people when you can and it'll be a lot more fun.
Does tinkering change the rpm and dmg to my gun?
What builds/build do you yourself run in the dz ?
For solo DZ runs I use a meta SMG build: Lady Death or Vector with In-Sync, M870 shotgun with In-Sync, Fox's Prayer knee pads, Contractor's gloves, Matador named backpack with Perfect Adrenaline Rush, Sokolov chest with Intimidate, then 1 piece of Providence Defense for 15% headshot dmg, and 1 piece Grupo Sombra for 15% Crit dmg. Armor on 3 armor pieces which gives me 1.3 million armor, for skills I use decoy and the Striker shield.
How do u equip contaminated gear.
You have to extract contaminated gear from the dark zone before you can equip it. Once extracted, you can pick up that gear from the mailbox in your stash.
And what's with invaded and normal DZ? How many players are in the DZ per server?
I have 503 gear rating and apparently I still can't do any of the missions
The standard enemy's can just shot like 4 times and kill me
Someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong
If you’re talking about your SHD watch level someone told me you have to be 750 or 1000 max with max stats.
If you don't mind good sir what build are you using?
I was running 2 providence defense, 1 grupo sombra, 1 fenris group, 1 walker & harris, and the Memento backpack. Famas and MPX were the guns and obliterate as the chest talent. It's definitely NOT a pvp build but for pve heroic activities it'll give you a good amount of damage.
Whats the Mac dz credits you can store in your dz stash
what gun are you using
Which one is occupy???
You didnt say a word about going really first time to dark zone. Im in game like 3 minutes max and im dying from bots.
What’s the dark one with the red knife on it mean
Thanks for the vid, it´s quite informative. Could anybody please confirm that Murakami Emperors Guard Kneepads are available in the summit? I really thought that there are still a couple of items DZ exclusive...
yeah there's still DZ exclusive drops, the Murakami kneepads are only obtainable in the DZ. There's a couple more named items that are DZ exclusive as well.
@@4AMSession So the information around 8:00 regarding the summit is not correct. It´s not possible to collect Yaahl gear in summit. And there are some named items, that are DZ exclusive. DZ would be a nice gaming experience if people wouldn´t be that toxic. Still trying to get the Emperor Guard knees, but somebody always shoots me. You just have to aware of the toxic people in DZ and adjust your expectations accordingly :)
is the dark zone the only place with pvp/multiplater?
also is it hard to play in or is there skill based matchmaking?
There’s a mode called Conflict which is like typical multiplayer in other games. Small map, matchmaking, and it’s 4v4. I prefer the DZ over Conflict any day. The DZ is an end game activity, there’s no sbmm. You need to have a good build or else you’re going to lose most fights. It’s going to be difficult for new players but it’s a ton of fun when you win fights.
Next video: what is a meta build and how to get DZ exclusive loot. Good and precise content 👍
I'm thinking about going into the DZ with some meme builds, but we'll see how it works though.
@@4AMSession oh that would be fun to watch! If you need a wingman... 😇

How do I earn DZ credits in the dark zone?
Do talents such as blind effects work on pvp?
Yup, burn, blind and emp work in PVP. I haven't made a build for it but you should look up a "status effect" build video. Some of those builds can dominate meta gear players.
@@4AMSession cool thanks. I pair Trauma and Creeping death for a crowd effect.
Why the f so much golden drops? I find it difficult to get any drops.
Signature weapon ammo drops, there’s a perk to increase those at WH
If it's like this then I'm not dealing with this kind of crap because I'm not dealing with other players
Legendary bosses are a pathway to many gear some may consider to be….unnatural.
General Magus, you are a bold one.
Anyone on here want to team up, I'm fairly new to this game but long time player on The Division. Want to mostly play PVE but also Dark zone.
You CAN fast travel once inside the safe house inside the dark zone gg
Div 1 Dz was soooo much better, these tiny areas just make it an arena shooter
So y is the 3 different DZ
Im just starting in this game, and Im already at gear 333. What're the top ways to up that gear score and get better loot? Is it just running summit or are there other ways?
Try farming strongholds, they may have a chance to drop higher gear score items, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I have the Warlords dlc so gear score doesn't exist for players with the dlc.
@@4AMSession I’m considering getting the DLC because it’s $9 on the ps store, is it worth it?
Can anyone help me with the occupied hijack trophy please
Discord still up? Link is expired.
Just updated the link with a new one that doesn't expire, let me know if the new one doesn't work.
You could have just said not worth it in the beginning..........
If loot isn't the point then WHAT is?!
PVP bruh
There are dz only loot though.
ideas like the dark zone are totally stupid on devs part. unless everyone scales no matter gear. first timers should not have to endure bullshit hazing till they get all the perks or build proper gear set. or get a mob of friends to go with. dz are the most stupid thing about div 2
I don’t like this game I am playing this game but the zone I really don’t like it. To many people that already have really good built but they don’t let other new players eat to.
If you are in DZ safe house you can fast travel out of there.
Good video I avoid dz stick to pve
As a solo player who occasionally plays with 1 friend I'm gonna stay out of the dark zone I guess. If there's not a point I don't see why I should go in there and basically get 1 shot over and over by douchebags.
yes not worth it, I always go back and kill that noob that killed me .. shot me in the back. then I shot him in the face.. =) lol
That's the best part, keep running back to the fight after you die. Eventually if you win the fight then it feels worth it. I actually love the DZ despite the loot being trash and toxic players.
Yeah, no, I'll pass...
Hi this is SB4447 I am trying to find somebody so I can try to get a Eagleberry
You forgot to mention the players who camp the CPs and call them selves "good" lol. Oh yeah the countless skill builds garbage players use and say "eaaaaasy 1v1" as they are 50+ yards away not shooting their weapon at all lol. What else is missing? Ah yes, the shit talkers who run their mouth in a 4 man group but seem to get oddly quiet after you wipe their team and leave them alone. 🤣
Yeah some days the DZ can be miserable. If I run into any of the stuff you listed I just switch DZ's or don't play the DZ that day because it's not worth dealing with those kind of players. I turned voip off which helps as well.
Can we please play bro ?
hit me up in discord my dude
the DZ is the best place to loot. Cutting rope of a group of 3-4 farmers is way much faster and rewarding than any other content in the game.
Boo hoo I'm sick of listening to people complain about everything sheesh
Your build needs surgery
