I’ve looked at several recalibration videos but this was the only one that really explained the library and the effect on the slots in a way I could understand. I’ve liked and subscribed and am going through the remainder of your videos now. Thanks for making this!
Really glad you've found it helpful and thanks for watching!
Agree
Same
This game is so much deeper than I've realized, and I've been playing for over 30 hrs.
Came back to the game after being out for 2 years. This was so very helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic tutorial. The fact that it doesn't have that many views shows how unpopular the division 2 actually is.
Thanks!
Ughh, wish I'd seen this sooner.. Before deconstructing all my saved gear that I out grew but had great stats/talents
Same here lol. Been deconstructing a lot of high quality geara
Still didn’t understand how you put something in recab library
Thanks for this. I havent played Division 2 since basically launch and randomly decided to give it another shot. Im at 30 now and its like a completely different game lol...i have no idea how recalibration works still but at least this video is well explained so i can rewatch it as many times as I need to.
Keep up the good work and I hope more people see your work!
Glad the video has been useful, it can seem a little complicated at first but the more time you spend with it the easier it gets.
And thank you I appreciate it!
Now getting back on Division, I haven't played for a while and I loved the way you broke it down. Made a subscriber out of me.
Welcome to the channel!
Never seen one of your videos. I have seen alot of different channels, this was excellent for real. Really explains things in depth and in a linear way without wasting time- the only video I could find that really cleared up alot of really complicated things that are not intuitive in this game. Huge help for me, thanks!
It can be tricky getting videos out there lol, but I really appreciate all of the kind words and I'm glad the videos have helped you out!
As a veteran player who has only just returned to the game, this was incredibly helpful, subbed and liked look forward to watching everything you have made thus far, fantastic video ^^
I'm glad you've found the vid helpful!
Thank you, as a new player this video (and your other videos) has been incredibly helpful! Better start storing those talent and attribute weapons for when I eventually get access to recalibration
No problem, glad they've been helping you out!
I played this game at launch for a couple weeks and just now returned to it for the first time since and these guides are saving me a lot of figuring out. Thanks for making these, you have a very clear presentation that is easy to follow.
No problem! Glad you've found the videos helpful
Haven’t played in some time, started a new character and these guides are so helpful 👍
Crafting 0:40
Recalibration 7:10
That's a very good explanation of how to understand the crafting and recalibration. You could be a good teacher. To many videos out there from people truing to explain this, but just confusing new players. Good job...thank you.
Thank you!
My goal with these guides was to keep them as clear and easy to understand as possible so I'm glad that's how they come across.
just watched through all your new player videos this is amazing man, perfect video length and explanation of what i need to know, definitely subbed
Thank you, I'm really glad you've found them helpful, I still have a few more planned I'd like to add. If you have any questions or topics let me know!
Best guide for crafting and recalibration! 11/10
Really appreciate it, thank you!
This really helped me understand, thanks abrax
Glad you found the video helpful, thanks for watching!
Great and clear instructions. Great dude!!
great vids.. i just started playing and I'm overwhelmed with all the content lol
I’m so glad Vision got some time away from the Avengers to make these videos. Seriously though, good stuff, thank you.
As a brand new player these guides are just phenomenal. Looking forward to getting stronger
Really glad to hear you've found the guides helpful.
It’s crazy how in the footage of you shooting with the shield, I see no inaccuracy or recoil. It’s like you have accuracy at 100%, and recoil at 0%.
I thank my time with the first game for that, compared to The Division 1, The Division 2 has very little recoil.
Playing with a mouse doesn't hurt either lol
I’ve had this game since launch and I’ve barely played it you help out a lot man thanks 🙏🏻
I'm really glad the videos have helped! I have a few more of these guide coming at soon too
You make some really good vids and guides man keep it up 👍
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
Thanks for for being so articulate & thorough.
Fantastic video! Being that I am a solo gamer and thought that this game was strictly multiplayer, it was never on my radar until I just recently read that solo players can play it. Well, I got have to say that I am having a blast with it and with your video guides explaining the concepts, I have a much better understanding of how to make my character much more fun and powerful too! Thanks for creating these helpful videos!
As a solobird myself, I've found that a drone and a turret are good substitutes for friends, my drone for the friend who follows me and the turret for the friend who stays behind and we use as bait. ^~^
Just curious, but do you do VO for tutorial or help videos in your day job? Because this video is by far the most professional I’ve come across with regard to calibration, etc. Everything-from the cadence and clarity of your speech to the zoom-ins on the UI areas being discussed, to the pauses that let information be digested by the viewer, etc.-says seasoned professional. Great job and you got my subscription.
I don't but that means a lot thank you!
Who’s still playing?
This vid is gonna be super helpful in making my builds
Me 😂 I needed to know how to upgrade my weapons
This is so informative, thank you so much!
Thank you so much most videos act as if just being truthful is a big deal
AMAZING JOB YOU'RE THE BEST AT MAKING IT SIMPLE & PLAIN💯👍
Thanks!
Super useful. Thanks
No problem, glad it was useful
Really helpful!!
Happy to hear it!
Liked, suscribed, many thanks from a new player !
No problem, welcome to the channel!
Thanks for the breakdown. I'm getting back into the Division 2. I lost my squad due to various reasons shortly after release so I'm trying to get back up to speed solo.
I've got a squad with open spaces if you'd like! We just removed inactive members.
Also for the liberty exotic you need a high end D50
Thanks for thIs guide huge help , however you did not cover, offensive/defensive mods ? What do they do ? And more importantly for some reason i can't even equip them.
No problem, I'm glad you've found it helpful!
I mention mods a little more in this video around the 11:44 point: th-cam.com/video/oXvU_90rCxI/w-d-xo.html
But as a quick summary,
Gear mods add additional attributes to a piece of gear.
There are 3 types or categories of mods for gear shown by colour:
Red = Offensive
Blue = Defensive
Yellow = Skill
Each of these types/categories have a collection of attributes they can be, for example, Red or offensive mods can be things like Critical hit chance, Critical Hit damage, headshot damage and so on.
You can equip mods in any Gold/Yellow piece of gear and most Purple gear.
I hope that answers some of your questions but if you have anymore feel free to ask!
i like the way you say "buff"
Thanks! lol!
Amazing vis, thanks!
Hope it helped!
Thanks main

2:04 - Oh! I was wondering what was going on. At first I thought I was recruiting her to come on missions with me. Isn’t that usually what the word “recruiting“ refers to? When I discovered she was to be used for crafting and I “recruited” her, I saw what I see here, the word “crafting“ above her and then I couldn’t do anything else. So I had no idea what else I was supposed to do with her. You are saying go back to the White House, is that explained in the game? May be in the FAQ thing they have?
I'm not to sure if that is explained, if I remember correctly I think Manny mentions heading back to the White House over the radio.
Hi dude, i'm a long time subscriber, love your channel, i'm new to the game as i only switched from division 1 recently, can you help me find out where to farm to get "Bullet King", i'm kinda of confused!
Hey! The Bullet King originally only dropped from the Riker missions in the Lower Manhattan map but now the WoNY exotics are all in the general loot pool so as long as you own the Warlords of New York expansion you an farm the Bullet King anywhere with LMG targeted loot.
Hope that helps!
@@ThatAbrax are you online> can you help me maybe do a few runs? targetted loot for LMG is District Union Arena in Washington
U r a genius thx brother
No problem!
u da man
I've been playing this game for 3 years and I didn't know you could recalibrate your weapons
Great vid, thanks! Why can't I apply a talent from a marksman rifle to a rifle? I removed the talent but was unable to use it on my SC CQB, CQB has NO previous modification done. Is it because the talent is coming from a marksman rifle?
Can someone explain this to me? I pretty much deconstruct 90% - 95% of everything I get..Where does that material go. When I go to the crafting table I have a plethora of weapon and gear that also needs to be deconstructed. Where did those parts come from? I thought that deconstructing, out in the field, to make room for more loot was how it was done. What am I not understanding here? Thanks in advance
Edit: The reason I could not craft a MOD even though I had the materials and 95/100 in inventory, was that my GEAR/Weapons inventory was 150/150.. Makes no sense and must be a bug.
6:30: So, I bought a blueprint, and I have more than enough materials. But the CRAFT button is grayed out. Why is that? I bought Decoy Mod, and it says "Unknown decoy mod" My bench is Level 40, High End (yellow) with 93/510 and 1/6 blueprints (which I venture are the number of blueprints I have). The Mod is also yellow. Also in my inventory I have 95/100 mods, so I should have room for it. For materials I have:
83568/876 E-credits
390/30 Steel
358/42 Electronics
481/12 Printer Filament
..so mooore than enough.
I have been trying to figure this out but haven’t found any info on this. What does the 0/6 mean in the upper left of the crafting bench under the told blueprints unlocked?
It's been a while since I've levelled a new character so I'm not 100% but I think that is the level of the crafting bench as you progress through the game
@@ThatAbrax No my crafting bench is already max level. It’s level 40. But after doing more research I think it is the amount of craftable exotic blueprints you have. There are 4 craftable exotic weapons and 2 gear pieces, one being a think a backpack and the other I believe is a holster.
Can you change the level of gear/guns to your current player level? For example if my character is level 25 can I change my backpack from a level 17 to level 25
I have a question, my crafting bench is at 475-505 power is that the max ? Other videos said 500 is the max maybe it was updated?
It may have been updated, on my level 30, GS500 character it's also 475-505 so crafting an item will put it some where in that range.
Is therea way to get exotics from the start or anyway stuff that makes enemies go down i 1 2 or 3 taps? And that can be kept for the entire pve game and allow a lesser bulletspongy experience? Hardcore and story mode.
To keep enemies going down fast I'd recommend playing on the normal or hard difficulty but keep in mind the lower the difficulty the worse the attribute rolls on loot can be
@@ThatAbrax Yes learning that of the attribute rolls outcome, yes this is unfortunately copied straight out of casino \ roulette systems... In fact I don't like this and it's not useful but for a future PVP... To keep the game as realistic as possible, also being me jogging or walking and doing "extra stuff" that game mechanic do not cover, I intend to have not spongy stuff in game.
The important is that the game allows to actually craft the gameplay (as it promises) also to players that seek a more realistic outcome. Not staying hours to shoot straight line to enemy without even recoil... I mean that's extremely boring stuff for me. No offense.
It is so "offending" to look for different approach that official Ubisoft discord does ban you if a pack of wolves sees you and start calling you a troll and puts for no reason some insults and provocation so you get in troubles for being different.
If this is the community behind this game, I hope it burns... down
Does the recalibrated stat stay always in ur library? U dont loose it after changing thenstat right? For example if i have crit chance maxed out can i use that hoewer i want? Or.do.i.have to recalibrate again that stat again to max?
When you store an attribute(stat) in the recalibration library you then have that attribute forever to use on as many items as you want so it becomes a little mini-game trying to collect all the maxed out attributes.
Hope that helps!
Awesome guide, thanks :))
How do I store attributes ?
Glad you enjoyed it!
Head to the Recalibration bench at the White House and interact with it, Select 'Recalibration Library' then pick the slot the item with the attribute you want to store belongs, then the type of attribute and finally find the attribute it's self and you'll have a prompt at the bottom of the screen to store it.
Hope that helps!
@@ThatAbrax tnx for the answer, I found it any way, would be cool if in the video while you talking about it you can show it :)
Do u have video that explains builds and how to create one ? I am so confused about this , i still haven't finished the game and i am at level 30 , and didn't even receive any specialization ! What am i doing wrong ?
I do, I have a few build videos on the channel and a video that talks you through how to make a build of your own from scratch, I'll link an all round DPS build and the video about making your own here:
How to make a Build: th-cam.com/video/N1Gw2ofqtzs/w-d-xo.html
All Round Crit DPS Build: th-cam.com/video/3DVvdtCxepM/w-d-xo.html
I also have a video coming out later today talking about the process I follow when I make a build myself which might be worth keeping an eye out for!
Hope they help!
Is this worth doing without having the expansion? Can I still profit from this? Am I able to do it?
I'd say the game is still very worth playing with out the expansion although it does add quite a bit to the endgame.
1 year old video, but still have a question. My friend is a new player and cannot craft the optimization bundles for each faction. When I first started I never even knew about those, but when I needed to craft the faction bundles...I just could. I just played the game casually, and passively gained the ability to craft the bundles. Example:He needs Black Tusk assessment bundles to optimize a gun, goes to the crafting bench, optimize, Black Tusk bundle...no go. How do you unlock these? Have we been wasting time on CPs? Any help is appreciated 👍
You can get the blueprints for the crafting bundles from Control Points and projects, you just need to make sure the control points are on Challenging or Heroic difficulty for them to drop.
Hope that helps!
@@ThatAbrax Ok thanks, we'll just keep grindin and hopefully he'll get something other than weapon attachment bp's. 👍
No problem! A lot of the crafting blueprint are just in a random loot pool so it's RNG on which you get, good luck!
@@ThatAbrax 👍👍
@@ThatAbrax that means if i want to gain blueprints i need to play in hard level?
So there is no power level with the crafting station anymore right?
I'm at level 20 and I have the recalibration bench with Emma Richards. I'm trying to use the library to extract some of the attributes and talent. My question is why I only see items that are at level 30 as being the only attributes I can extract? In my stash I have weapons and gear that I collected during missions that had attributes i wanted to transfer from levels 1 thru 20. My problem is they don't show up in the recalibration bench as being able to extract. The only one's that show as being extractable are at level 30 which were already in my stash when I started the game. I am looking at levels 1 thru 30 on the recalibration bench and not the 31 thru 40 levels. I love the game but I'm confused on how this works and can't seem to find a good explanation on TH-cam on the lower levels. Thanks
How curious, I just check on a level 30 character and I'm able to extract attributes from a level 8 weapon.
Is the item favourited at all? If they are they won't appear at the Recalibration bench, I'm not to sure what else that could be.
@@ThatAbrax none of my attributes are favorites. Right now I'm at level 22 and I did see a couple of low level attributes that I can add to my library. I'm just wondering why don't all my attributes show up as being able to be extractable? Is it just certain gear and weapons are able to be extractable? Is it only brands or something like that. I've watched a ton of video but no one ever mentions that there are restrictions on what gear or weapons attributes can be extracted. For me it's important information in deciding if I should store a item or sell it. Thanks
@@gadgetguy5871 That's really strange, I can't think of what it could be other then the item's been starred.
When I jump onto a lower level character to test it I can store attributes from gear at any level, really weird.
@@ThatAbrax I've been racking my brain trying to figure it out. I've tried some experiments by collecting gears and weapons and marking them as a recalibration item and going directly to the bench to see if they showed up as either item that can be extractable or improved. Some do but others don't. Every video I've watched explain it as if any weapons or gear attributes or talent can be extracted or improved. And ii my experience with the game says this is not the case. There has to be reason why certain gears or weapons can't be extracted or improved. I'm at level 25 and when I go to my bench most of the weapons and gear that I can extract or improve are in the 30 level range with the exception of a few weapons and gear that I collected in the lower levels. Example of this is I have 10 knee pads collected and range from level 20 to 25. I go to library to extract and only 3 of the 10 show up as being able to extract a attribute. And to make matters worse none of the core attributes can be extracted from the 10 knee pads. And this goes for the same with the rest of the gear and weapons. I think I've only been able to extract 1 or 2 core attributes since I got access to the bench. Hope this explains my issue in better details. Thanks for trying to help out.
@@ThatAbrax here is a another example of what I'm dealing with and this pertains to all my stash inventory. I have 14 level 30 SMG which were there when I started the game. Then I have 8 level 15 thru 25 SMG in my stash as well as in my inventory I found during missions. I go to my bench and at the recalibration library I show the 14 level 30 SMG as being able to extract on the Core Attributes. In the regular attributes I show plenty of attributes that can be extracted but all are at the level 30 none from the lower levels. Now I go to my Recalibration Station and it shows the 14 level 30 and only 2 of the lower levels out of the 8 that I have either the stash or in my inventory that I found during missions. I don't think the game is broken but there may be something in missing in my understanding of how the bench works. Like I said before every video I've seen explain it as if you can extract any attributes from any weapon and gear at any level but I'm finding it not to be the case.
nice video! I wonder if you or anyone can help me, I am trying to get Belstone on my level 30 character crafting station, I have it on my level 40 character but even though I have shared my level 30 character blueprints etc, I don't have the Belstone there to craft. I want to make a armour regen build for farming Exo components in the dz.... It must be possible as a friend of mine has the Belstone in the level 30 bracket crafting station, any ideas,
Thanks guys
How do you add an attribute to the library though?
If you have a piece of gear or weapon with an attribute you don't currently have stored:
1. Interact with the Recalibration station.
2. select Recalibration Library.
3. select the weapon or gear piece type that has the attribute.
4. select the type of attribute it is you want to store.
5 . find and select the attribute from the list.
6. Hold the button shown at the bottom of the screen for 'Extract Internal'.
Done!
Hope that helps!
@@ThatAbrax thanks, the library is a maze, I didn’t see where my weapons were. Bad vision doesn’t help. I’ll switch to my lvl 30 when I get on the game next and try to figure that out. Thank you very much. Best wishes to you and happy holidays.:)
@@ThatAbrax thanks again for the explanation, I greatly appreciate it.
Did hotel mission. Can’t find her anywhere. Why isn’t crafting shooting up her profile isn’t even unlocked. Need real help!
Strange, is she not in her original location at the settlement?
What gun are u using with the scope?
It's the Famas with Perfect Focus on the chest, can take a bit of getting use to but it can do some big damage.
Lucky to have u bt hard to understand
til that you can deconstruct junk . . . ive been doing it on at a time for the whole week ive been playing :(
the campus isn't on the map anymore
You still answering question?
Of course, I try to get round to as many questions as possible no matter the video so feel free to ask!
Not even gonna lie that bench is overwhelming 🙁
this is alot to take in 🥴
I tried to make these guides easy to understand so I hope it helped
@@ThatAbrax
oh no don't get me wrong, these guides are wonderful and really helpful it's just im still new to the game :D
thank you for making them ♡
Hey Is anyone here who can guide me how to unlock Hyena Key 🔑 Box. I am new to Division 2.
Hey, welcome to the game!
This site should help you out, you can toggle what you want on or off on the left, if you toggle on the 'Locked Crates' and click one it will tell you which faction it belongs too. There is also a ton of other useful information on there!
Hope it helps!

Completely lost. 😁😁😁
Right here with you
Yeah I love this game but stop playing it after cold war.
This game is dead
You’re 2 years late fam
Haha! A little late but there's still plenty of new players coming to the games and as long as folks are finding these helpful I'm a happy guy!
@@ThatAbrax yup!
@@ThatAbrax Can confirm. New player, and I've brought 5 of my buddies too.
@@ThatAbrax had the game for awhile just never played. Now that my son plays and on of my old work buddies bought it recently. We all play.
So the videos are definitely useful. And they are the best that I've seen.
New to the game brought 2 friends with me hehe
Too complicated and tedious, not realistic you shouldn't have to shoot anyone in a t shirt 100 times to maybe get a kill IF they're not hiding behind an invincible barrier.
Cant wait for 2042, hopefully they add different ammo types and armor.
