I played Decent for the first time yesterday..took 20 minutes to find a group where people didn’t just leave..then we got to loop 4, it took an hour, I was rewarded with 30 points and one season level of xp
Any reason you wanted to play with a group? Because Descent is arguably easier and faster if you're solo. Fewer enemies to deal with in each room, plus only one Nemesis in the Nemesis encounter.
Very useful video! After watching I can say that the chance of me getting this rifle has now decreased by 30% to a 50/50, sounds like an absolute chore and I am now not as optimistic. Having described how credits are earned, it made me think of some of these other Division 2 TH-camrs that outright just bought and unlocked those coloured outfits that are over 1k each and they bought them all, just how much descent do these guys play, like damn!!
I got it this morning after about 3 hours of running it its not a bad gun but not something to write home about my m1a cqb does more damage then the vindicator it sadly needs a buff alot of the exotics need buffed or completely reworked you can get multiple boss rooms back to back and if your on loop 4 you get 13 nsa credits each time
@@TheTiltblazin - LOL - too funny hahah, but man i think the one great thing was to let st elmo's be so available because of the folks who cannot get their hands on the EB - its like the solo player/non raid players trophy gun
I honestly think the Devs put too much faith in Descent mode and insinuated many players were going to have fun with but it backfired. Now, they've added a exotic new rifle (which 3% of players are going to use or add in their collection) just to make up or "waste filler hrs of play." 😒😞 It's not Decent mode is bad, it's just too long and boring! I would LOVE to get the collectible Comms but I just can't. So many other games to play with a good grind are worth rewards and time invested. 🤔😒
I feel you. I do think if people gave it more time it isn't too bad. For example as you mentioned the comms. These just require a full nemeses run per week. Once familiar with the mode this can be done in about 40 minutes which is quicker than the invaded missions per week. Just three of these you have the exotic and over time you have your comms and named blueprints.
the devs could guarantee REGULUS from just a single run- win or lose, just do a run- of this hated game mode and players would still not do it (myself included).
I just beat the descent on my own twice this weekend it’s easy if you know what your doing and what skill and weapon your using, just got the weapon also
I thought desent would be underground and survival hybrid based on their explanation of it. Its closer to summit unfortunately. I like the comms but the game mode is.... I don't like to say it but mediocre. Hopefully the changed up rewards help.
I think 3hours solo in that manner is a huge underestimation mind. Yes you can get quick, even almost instant room clears on occasion but consistent 5 minute loops are going to be very rare for many players. Also factor in wipes earning you zero.
My two tips so far are: Back straight out. If the starting equipment is garbage - like I got x2 no damage Scans as two of the equipment options...OUT. The other is to stick to Easy rooms if youre just Loop farming but stick with it and go for harder rooms if you luck out with good talents, etc.
@@GCROCK I stand by what I said : consistent 5 minute loops are going to be very rare for many players. That and the pistol is underestimated and quite strong in Descent.
The only problem I have is trying to beat the nemesis I can do it alone but running others we can get to the nemesis with 3 people but that’s where we die lol
I would say that the team needs to be experienced with the nemesis fight. They should know what build they want to build and if you all follow the same plan then it makes it easier. Nobody should select skills like hives, chems or stickies. This will mean there is less chance for the Nemesis to bring them, especially the healing skills. Each team members should really focus on damage output over everything else, try and get a rifle or Marksman Rifle for quick shots at high damage. Plague of the Outcasts, Unhinged and Trauma are the three talents that are going to help best against the Nemesis.
always awesome video GC - but definitely know even if i had the gun i may not use it....these NPCs run and weave too much to be trying to hit a specific body part.
Everyone saying Descent is Boring and Useless. Very obviously doesnt play Hardcore as Descent is the Best way to level up In Hardcore with no consequences.
I dont agree with what most people are saying. I like Descent a lot. I played it for the first time today to get rifle but after getting the rifle I kept playing. I really enjoy how it forces you to make the best use of what it gives you to work with. I can undertand why some players wouldnt like it. Its not easy and you really have to think it through. You have to constantly reposition yourself and have awareness of what the enemies are doing. Open world is easy mode. I only made it as far as loop 6 but I saved to buy the rifle, and then I played for a bit longer to level some other benefits. I think I will be playing a lot of Descent because it really challenges you think outside the box - especially early. Anyway, I have the rifle. Just wanted to comment since instead of people commenting on your video they are just saying how much they dont like Descent.
Appreciate the comment. I too think it is a very good mode for similar reasons you have stated. Nothing is ever going to suit all and the negative comments about the mode come in floods. There are also plenty of people who enjoy the mode and its good to see it in the comments. Thank you
even if the grind for it wasn't atrocious, the gun just isn't very good. compared to even something like diamondback, which barely sees any use, this is almost pointless. +75% base weapon damage against limbs you can barely ever hit... that's only a flat 80k extra damage per shot, assuming you land it. very disappointing for an exotic.
Here we go with the cry babies complaining about something you have to grind to get. I never understand clowns like this. If you don’t like grinding, don’t play games like this. If you don’t like having to do something to get something. Just stop gaming all together. If you don’t like descent, a good game mode, don’t worry about getting this weapon you think you need. I just came back to Division 2 after two years off and love this game mode. I’ve only played it twice and have gotten to zone 6. It’s really not that hard. Just….GET GUD.
I em day one player Div,Div2...and this is buls...!!! Every new players must defeted Nemesis 7 times,at last 5 times or spend hours and hours in this stupid mode! Instead,bring me "Survival" in the game and you see me again in this game. For me nothing new accept rpm on EG for 800 and that is all,my humble oppinion! Sorry...!

Anything they lock behind the descent gamemode they can keep.
I agree
I want my money back myself. I'm having issues with freezing in spots.
I hate decent. Worse game play I've seen in my 66 years on this world.
Stupid gun because you have to be scoped constantly. This is not a sniper. Useless basically.
@@richardhouseholder8347 After an hour, that was enough for me.

Crazy . I ran this solo on update day and leveled up 23 times In roughly 3 hours.

Had such high hopes for descent , but honestly hate it , a total grind for very little reward , such a shame
Golden bullet was cool in my opinion.
Very much like beating the Nemesis. It’s a let down. :/

not bad? its one of the worst rifles even with the perk procced^^ absolute dog
If the Devs were smart, they would've locked St. Elmo's Engine in Descent because it's such an awesome AR! EVERYONE would've been grinding Descent! 🤣🤣

Im glad i was able to help yesterday it was fun to watch you guys running and gunning lol
You were in for most the stream, if not all of it. Thanks for watching and helping out with all the questions
@@GCROCK thank you good sir

Thanks for the great play through!
Blowing teammates up with barrels is optional but encouraged
🤣🤣
Yeah i dont think ill bother lol but ive never used a rifle so no biggie for me :)
I would like to say, this vid was very helpful. Thanks
I hate descent and therefore i do not think i wil get it.
I just beat the descent on my own twice this weekend it’s easy if you know what your doing and what skill and weapon your using, just got the weapon also
Does the stats of the Vindicator roll on a weekly basis? Can I wait till the stats are better than I buy it?
the talent description isn't good , why should i at a marked body part when it only deals 75% damage at it ?
It means additional damage but I get your point
I can’t save my data every time when I turned off my ps5 he start again from level one pls can somebody help me 😢
In total how many runs would you have to do to build up the amount of credits for the weapon purchase is what I like to now
As mentioned in the video, I think three full nemesis runs will do it. Make sure you do every random boss room it gives you 👍
Ok, I would say I can only do it with a group run because at the nemasis part i could never pass it@@GCROCK
I thought desent would be underground and survival hybrid based on their explanation of it. Its closer to summit unfortunately. I like the comms but the game mode is.... I don't like to say it but mediocre. Hopefully the changed up rewards help.
Are they gave us an opportunity to buy caches with DZ named items blueprints?
They have added reconstructed caches to the NSA vender. These are what drop the named blueprints that are available in the game.
@@GCROCKFinally
How to reconfigure the vindicator? No blueprint is available with Inaya.
Yeah, I think - you can't. Bad stats? Go and farm again
I think 3hours solo in that manner is a huge underestimation mind. Yes you can get quick, even almost instant room clears on occasion but consistent 5 minute loops are going to be very rare for many players. Also factor in wipes earning you zero.
My two tips so far are: Back straight out. If the starting equipment is garbage - like I got x2 no damage Scans as two of the equipment options...OUT.
The other is to stick to Easy rooms if youre just Loop farming but stick with it and go for harder rooms if you luck out with good talents, etc.
Loop 1 is so easy, you could literally run through it with a pistol and ignore everything
@@GCROCK I stand by what I said : consistent 5 minute loops are going to be very rare for many players. That and the pistol is underestimated and quite strong in Descent.
Hard pass for me. The mode is more tedious than it is difficult. I get to like level 6 or 7 and I just bail out of boredom
I already got Ravenous. No better rifle
Sigh Mbn
The only problem I have is trying to beat the nemesis I can do it alone but running others we can get to the nemesis with 3 people but that’s where we die lol
Yeah, in a group the Nemesis can be very tricky! The odds of beating the Nemesis lower with each extra squad member
@@GCROCK ya I get that I’ve got up to loop 12 alone.
What would u say is the best way to beat the nemesis in a team of 3
I would say that the team needs to be experienced with the nemesis fight. They should know what build they want to build and if you all follow the same plan then it makes it easier.

Yeah I'll never get it then because descent is total garbage.
Can someone please write me about the blueprint of this weapon?!!!
I can't find it...
There isnt one yet to buy but you can use the optimization table to max it with resources.
@@rexhernandez975 thank you!!!!)
Noti squad
what if you only play solo pve
😂😂😂 reading the comments, it seems Descent is another failed attempt. When will these developers learn
I personally really enjoy the mode and so do many others. It is a love or hate mode though and they hate is always louder than the love
I can't find the blueprint to reroll
I don't think there is one right now
@@GCROCK oh ok thanks for replying back to me an letting me know
I'm trying to get the outfits! But damn they're expensive
Arn't they just!!!
always awesome video GC - but definitely know even if i had the gun i may not use it....these NPCs run and weave too much to be trying to hit a specific body part.
They do! Its not my favorite gun either. Thanks fir the comment
Descent is not even decent.
i think its a great gun for solo with no real setup.
I like my St.Elmo's Engine to much, this weapon looks bad :)

Lol I'm good I have the ravenous
Only if rifles were good in this game. And if this wasn't part of descent. Horrible game mode
They trying to promote the descent mode..fuck ubisoft..!!
Why would you want unlock this thing? 😅
Hahaha well it's better than having to do a raid to get the weapon.
Getting before YANNICK NERFS
This won't be nerfed. I think it needs a buff
Dont trust A.I.
No thx
Meh... seems like much ado about nothing... I'll pass. -- There's great rifles besides this nonsense. -- GL though. -- Thx for the content.
Descent is so boring lol
They made it too easy to get, they should of made it so the only way you could get it was by beating nemisis abs only by a percentage/chance it drops.
This game mode SUCKS SOOOOOO much ass
Rifle sucks!
I can’t save my data every time when I turned off my ps5 he start again from level one pls can somebody help me 😢
