This guide may be good for new agents for familiarisation. However, when you play this mode enough you will notice that merging your group (to 8-man) as early as possible and taking down all counter-measures before any encounter is the most efficient way and net the most loot. These days, most agents in a random Countdown already know this.
Thank you! I literally had no idea wtf I was doing lol. Running around killing people then mad dash at the end. I usually found someone who clearly had a direction and just stuck with them. Awesome video. Thank you again.
We run this as a 8men group...all hunters...and every encounter...npc had no chance when 8 people stick together..
Best regards from Germany 🇩🇪
I think the main takeaway from all Countdown clips are:
If you're the squad leader and the team fills up, start the damn countdown!
Oh and get the Hunters FIRST, before entering/starting any of the Objectives in buildings.
Like a lot of your comments say, do the hunters all together is definitely faster and more loot. Also another major disadvantage of splitting up to do the objectives is that when players get disconnected (which happens A LOT), each team ends up under manned and the objectives take too long and also fail quite a bit. In a perfect world where nobody gets disconnected, everyone knows what they are doing and have good builds I agree with everything you are saying. However there are a lot of disconnects, people don't always know exactly what they are doing and have thrown together builds of brands they need to level up, and running as an 8 man team is almost always better than the way you describe. I'm not being disagreeable, just an observation. Love your content.
I prefer getting all buffs then taking out each objective as a full team of 8. In my experience not only does it go faster, but everyone gets the loot from the crates.
My clan and friends have been running this quite a bit. We noticed that if you run it as an 8 man team. You all get loot from the hunters. And you all get loot from each of the encounters. There's enough time to do all three encounters in most cases. When there's not, you do too. And get the main objective done. And the XP that you get per run. Doubled. When you work as an 8 man team. We started off splitting up. Like you instructed. In the video. And that works good as well. Great video. Thanks.
@16:25 the countermeasure info it's not correct tho. Agents sklills do 25% damage to enemies, means players skills do only 0,25x damage so instead of 1m, the same skill will do 250k. when clear it if I remember properly you get 25% more damage so a 1m skill will do 1,25m. the close range resistance works the same way, you do 0,75x damage in close range, so 1m bullet will do 750k damage. when cleared we get 25% more damage, so a 1m bullet will hit for 1,25m we don't get 75% more damage as said.
Also the way to get more loot is when both groups stick together, there's a range to get a drop so if you split the teams yes you'll complete the activity a bit faster but you get less drops (you dont get drops from the other group across the map), you'll only get the drops from the activities your group was doing it. If both groups stick together you can get 40-50 pieces of loot in 1 run.
To maximize gear and hunter dog tags I would definitely as an 8 man group do all 4 hunters together or mostly together. Otherwise you miss out on a ton of the best gear.
Also at Extraction call Evac Heli when theres about 5 seconds of time left, so you all can farm more waves of enemies.
So many ppl missing out on this one
@@ownzye-3630yep in my experience that’s when the best gear usually drops so if you bail early you usually miss out on the named items, exotics, etc. This morning I had a Tardigrade, Momento and several quality named items drop from the hunters that come in the helicopter right after sending off the flare. Now if I can just get a good raid crew to get the Regulus…..
can you get that item form the Countdown even if you have not got it in a raid?@@Romanus-
Countdown is so simple once you figure it all out but figuring it out isn’t easy.
Great info.. your videos have helped me a ton upon returning to the game.
You mentioned at the beginning of the video about player extracting too early. You should have thrown some info to players so they would understand why it’s best to wait until the last secs to call the chopper in.
You are amazing Kama . Thanks for this great video 😎
Great video my guy. Everyone should watch this just to be clear on what to do or how to do it. A veteran player to division and still had problems
This needs to be added to start screen of the actual game. Thnx a lot.
First time i have REALLY understood the mechanism of countdown! Wonderful job! Thank much. Wish other players would get a better understanding of the mode rather than just rushing around like mad ants!! hahahaha
Hell ya great vids lookin forward to it
Great video as usual. I ran a countdown with you the other night. I picked you up right before we extracted. My gamertag is BobLeeSwagga. I deserve a shoutout!
As a newish player what I love about this game is the massive amount of customization options in terms of builds/play styles, every weapon is relevant, what I don’t like is not a whole lot of people playing countdown or raids. For the past week I’ve tried matchmaking into countdown on challenging and heroic waiting for 30 or so minutes with 0 luck getting a team each time. I understand veteran players get tired running the same modes but damn even newer players I run into don’t care to bother with it. So summits been my stomping ground as it’s easy to solo for a solo player.
It’s most likely that you are trying to match for a heroic countdown but have a low SHD level. A lot of groups won’t let you join the countdown if it’s heroic and you’re watch level is below 200-300. I’d suggest trying countdown on challenging instead of heroic if you’re over 100 SHD. If you’re lower than that you might wanna get your level up before running countdown. Hit up resource convoys if you want a quick way to level up
@@Romanus- no it was because i didn’t have the warlords dlc at the time.
Tnxs for the info with the vid. I understand it now. Oh and 25:38 it is called "Divide and Conquer" is what you are thinking of.
Happy day ! Here is my update on the Doctor Home Exotic. I was able to use my second character and do all the missions over on the EASY settings. I had a random group for the General Anderson mission. We successfully completed the mission and I did finally receive the upgraded Doctor Home Exotic with the 350 RPM. Thanks for the information Kamikaze.
Do you like it? It might just be me but I find it very difficult to use effectively
Very nice info. I was at a loss but now it;s a lot clearer. Cheers.
Awesome video as always. Super helpful. Great content bud.
Great video, hopefully it improves runs for some newer players
Incredible guide VonDooM
Thank you for this much needed video.
I wish i had made more room in my inventory before doing my first run. I left 20 spaces thinking that would be enough, i should have left 50. For the second half of the run i had to leave all the loot because i had no room for it, and some were named items. The amount of loot is crazy!, but good.
thanks again Kami.
Cool explained 👏 I understand now the mechanic and will try Countdown 👍
Bro the crazy thing is I was playing with you on countdown last night.
Very useful ... Can you do the same for the two raids, it may be very useful for new players
If starting from A and C, I find it better that everyone hits the first left Hunter, then the other buff switches together, that way you loot all 4 hunters, following by doing everything with 8. its faster and painless especially now that we are all trying to 'proficient' our shit gear so our DPS is down.
I wish at the end of the game it doesn't rush and dump you back at DC with no chance to assess and chat to your teammates. it's been quick and fun constantly matchmaking straight in but the exit feels wrong and soulless.
So, I was doing some fancy thinking, but I was had to hack all 3 things in Administration... at first I was really pissed off because I had to do everything by myself... but it took so long that 6 named enemies came out... but it was a ton of loot... and then the 4 minute extract timer starts... I had over 70 pieces of gear in that run
The point being, you can milk out the last objective kinda like the extraction to maximize your loot drops...
Can you do a video walking through the actual steps to finish each area of the map. I seem to find my teams often fail the main mission which snow balls into getting crushed at the extraction. The gold/yellow icons seem to be ignored by most of my team which seems to just trigger more enemies to come out. Everyone just focused on shooting the enemies and not the tasks.
I always spawn at charlie along with the full 8.
Great videos Von Doom! Got to run one with you the other night , (Iceman550)and I feel like this video is for those runs like we had where a whole group is only doing ads, and just letting objectives go.
And those terminals getting them first so important!!!!
Thanks for doing videos that help players with team synergy and group play, not just builds.
I'm not doing The Countdown to complete it just farming those Hunters.
I personally think thet need to change the end (extraction point). Something like defend the extraction point, maybe 5 waves of enemies or what else what's better than now.
So you goin, kill the hunters and leave?
Thanks buddy !!!
how much is the crit chance countermeasure buff?
I have a question about Countdown. If I set my "targeted loot" to say Hunters Fury .. do all the player see my loot preference or do they have their own targeted loot? and if I pick up all the loot am I taking everything so no other player can collect loot? I love countdown but I never want to be a "rude player" :)
No one can see your targeted loot selection and everyone has their own targeted loot. Just to be clear, whatever loot is highlighted on your screen only shows up on your screen as loot cannot be taken by anyone else so grab as much as you can.
Hey, I do have a question about the core attributes. I saw that the best players have all red core attributes. How do you guys have changed it? I'm sorry for a stupid question but I have completely no idea how to do it. Can anyone help me out please?
It's called recalibration, it's available from one of the two available work stations
Thanks for making this. I find that people don't understand that protecting the VIP engineer means actually protecting him. 🤔
someone went off on a solo VIP clear in a session today. didn't even know that events could be failed in countdown until then...
IMO skipping the Engineer objective is the way to go unless you have a really good crew to run countdown. If you have some newbies in the group getting all 3 encounters done in time is tough
Get some zoom going on that picture lol
Are NPCs buffed cuz red bars are destroying my full maxed heartbreaker 1.6 mil armor at full stacks that’s over 3 mil armor and it’s gone in less than 3 secs
Thats just normal division 2, the enemys in countdown should be around raid lvl of difficulty so they hit quite hard
@@RomanPunchyBoy yea I guess your right I haven’t played in like 6 months lol I forgot
Use a banshee pulse to slow them down, or a Scorpio if you have one is perfect for countdown IMO
Hey nothing to do with countdown but have the devs messed with the summit? Played it last night,the npcs are insane. It seems alot harder than before. Oh yeah on heroic.
I just subbed to your channel
Is it better to get on the chopper or stay behind for one more loot?
It depends, if you don’t get on the chopper you won’t get many countdown points. Those credits can be used to buy exotic caches, named item caches etc. If you see a ton of loot and think it’s worth the risk then grab it but usually you’re best bet is to get as much loot as you can until there’s 10-15 seconds left and then run to the copter
cool beans
we need a farm exotic components video asap... please
i seen one crafting libertys over n over but i know u got something better
Dark zone loot crates
Whats the Discord link?
i wish the game wouldnt crash the wole time on pc
Facts. I'm tired of starting with 8 people and making it to extraction with 3 and being slaughtered before we can extract.
i stop crashes by updating my vid card software. benn doing this for years and it work!
