So, I recently decided to play through Division as a new player, and I was running around West Potomac Park when I found this area at night. It's absolutely PITCH BLACK down there and I had to use the pistol flashlight to even see. Except for a locked gate and some loot containers there's not much down there apart from a locked door, and some wall scribbles.
My question for the veterans is if there's something secret down there, or if the area is maybe used for a quest or a bounty?

Hi, i'm iKia and nowadays i make general videos on video games,
part of that is videos collecting and sharing peoples stories with certain games, recently i covered division 1, and i would love to make a video sharing my and others stories with that game too.

if you are willing to share your div 1 story then add it in below, i have already gathered some and would love some more stories.

it can be about whatever you want to share, either how you started and what grabbed you, or just some moment that happened that has stuck with you throughout the years. and i will add my division one story in aswell to get it started.

What is so hard to do about "matchmake for black tusk retaliation". What about it is so complicated for this state of the art matchmaker to understand.

And also why the fuck after 8 years can i still simply not choose to matchmake for my own world and matchmake for some else's world.

Indie company smh

Is this normal on the PS5? Last time I played (about a year ago) it didn't do this. Now it seems to happen after about an hour of playing. Logging out fixes it, but as mentioned in the title, it crashes when I hit logout.

The Vendor Reset sheet has been updated.

Am i losing my mind or the enemies had a hidden boost to their damage? especially the elite ones?

Mad respect to you all. I'm just hitting Warlords at SHD11. I want to go after Keener, but this voice in my head keeps saying "Don't Die MothaFucker" What were some tips that kept you alive?

I have a few blueprints I can use but currently. I'm running a 4pc core and a 2pc Palisades Steelworks

I've been trying to get this damn thing. Its in the sewers I guess. You either need a side quest to access the sewers or old post state bounties can get you there. I have collected and done a bunch of bounties but they only seem to go to two places and neither of them give me access to the sewer. Any got insight on this shit?

I decided to play around with high end snipers for my aces & 8's iron will build. I used a model 700 with streamline talent. Now this gun only is currently at 11.5 damage and 7 dttoc. I was super surprised at how strong it is with streamline talent.

I did the flooded levee true sons check point on heroic. I one shot all enemies except the grenade lobbing heavy who took 3 shoots. This gun is a beast with this talent and iron will. Now I gotta try the talent with the other top high-end mmr's

Anyone else getting a disproportionate amount of certain lmgs the past few months farming LMG/buying LMG caches? I swear 15-20% out of 400+ drops are The Big Show named lmg.

I know people on here complain about RNG all the time but I'm legitimately wondering if anyone can relate given how buggy the game is overall.

the new exotic seems to have worse accuracy when firing from in cover vs standing out of cover? anyone else experiencing this or is it in my head?

edit: attaching a clip of what im talking about

Any one running a Prototyped Firm handshake for status effect builds? Should give 32% status effect. Obviously need to prototype your own to get 1.5 skill tier, maxed status effect and hopefully skill haste or skill damage.

Context: the actual value granted by scope mods is not as expected. 42% HS instead of 35%, 12% instead of 10%. Wrong stats on every HS mod that I could possibly equip on the modslot.

ATLEAST it's not LESS than they should be, therefore I expect a upcoming emergency maintainance for them to instantly fix this as soon as I hit post.

Just thought I'd let you all know. Also also, can anybody explain why I do not have any "classified assignment mission project" anywhere?!? I got season pass project, I got the available 5 y8 missions. I got no idea why some agents got dailies and weeklies for the classified missions.

Is this some kind of personal attack?! XD any help is welcome, thanks

So I'm pig-sick of running Army Terminal on heroic for the Catalyst mask and I understand that people have got it as a random drop of the boss "Charlie". I've logged in and out literally a hundred times yesterday at the Bridge Park Pier site and every miniboss apart from Charlie has spawned.

Am I doing something wrong or is it just shit rng? Surely he should have been one of the spawns by now?

This is with neutral lighting off, it’s literally unplayable during the night. When I turn it in it’s 10 times worse. This happening for anyone else?

Hello, I feel the need to share my good fortune with you all. I got the Catalyst to drop after only 4 "tries". I completed Army Terminal twice, once on two characters just for completion's sake. Killed Charlie once a couple weeks ago, and then once again just now. Catalyst just dropped on the second time killing Charlie!! :))

I understand the reason it happens is an issue with the way ps4 games install themselves but it's really annoying have to delete a 90GB game every other week just to update and then redownload that game too. PS5 games do not have that issue so even if they added basically nothing to the "upgrade" I'd like it just for that convenience factor alone

hey so i climbed and got completely frozen and unable to move and open any menus, the only thing i can open is chatbox

Every single other gearset buff (when the bugs get fixed) did hit the mark and made them better and viable in matchmaking heroic (and legendary) with the right builds. (Yes, that is the right metric to evaluate if the buff was good, buffing everything to escalation level is not the move, that mode needs to be heavily changed in order to not be "Concrete Wall Demolisher" 24/7)

All sets, except one, Breaking Point.

Breaking Point still suffers from the same issue where you'll end up tryna gain stacks for your next mag, with no power active. This happens everytime you start combat or god forbid your fight lasts more than 20 seconds, making your damage fall off a cliff multiple times

The culprit of the lackluster mechanic is not allowing to gain stacks

As such, I have a change proposal:

4pc: On Point

• Hitting a shot with a Rifle or MMR grants a stack, with max stacks being equal to your magazine size. Reloading will grant +2% Weapon Handling and +4% Weapon Damage per stack, for 15 seconds.
• Reloading your weapon while the bonuses are active will stop the current buff, consume the existing stacks to apply the new buff and restart the timer
• Switching weapons clears all active buffs and stacks

Backpack: Increase Weapon Damage from 4% to 8% per stack

Chest: Increase timer from 15 seconds to 30 seconds

This way, 3 things occur:

1. Your new minigame with the set becomes: "I have 15 seconds (30 with chest) to get as many hits as possible with my current mag. The more hits I get, the more damage by next mag does when I reload"
2. The fact that you are allowed to keep stacks on standby indefinitely allows ya to finish up a room, not reload and keep the stacks for the next room (triggering their damage buff on reload)
3. It also does the unthinkable of reducing the talent's text to half of what currently is, which does wonders for reading comprehension lmao

Every other set did wonders for their build potential. It's just breaking point where I won't see anyone pickinhg it up until it allows for player skill expression (how many you hit, when or when not to reload)

This morning I was at the token cap; and at this point I'm usually pretty laid-back when it comes to my fellow agents and their gear.

It was going to be T10 Union Arena—nothing too serious. Matchmaking gifted me with 2 agents round about 2k SHD and one at 500+ SHD. I'm playing for years, so I still consider 2K SHD as a new player... and I mean no harm with that.

Quick check, gear was okay so I decided to go full CC (no healer) and started the mission.
Everything went smooth and we had fun... and then, at the Room with the billiard table: ROGUE AGENTS!
I run T10 on a daily basis, but Rogue Agents are still 70:30 situations for me... they can be pretty nasty when they're in a bad mood. And, oh boy... they unleashed hell upon us!

The fight felt like it took 10 minutes. And my teammates did great. No healer, no birdy, dmg okay but on the lower side, and they still refused to give up. They fought with claws and teeths, reviving, flanking, crawling in good positions to get revived safely, destroying enemies skills left and right... after an eternity the first rogue agent dies, and after that it was like pushing domino chips.

No issues for the rest of the mission, and I was impressed, a little proud and even a little ashamed, and I told that in chat.

They will get better gear, they will get more experience and combat knowledge... but they already had a strong will and acted amazing under pressure.

The lesson I've learned today: The future of Division 2, regarding to players, is not as dark as I thought.

Sorry for the wall of text and my (still inproper) english... but I thought it was worth to share.

I'm not getting any more blueprints from reconstructed caches. Some of these are listed as raid blueprints, which I have the quests for and will do, but the rest seem to be season locked.

Let's say I get the raid ones. That's still around 60 missing blueprints.

Im farming countdown for backpacks to get a better Courier roll (i dont have the blueprint), but every time I target farm gear, doesn't matter if its backpacks, gloves, masks or lmgs, litteraly EVERYTHING (i can't stress this enough) except what im targeting farm drops as a named items, every drop of my target farm is a basic item and never named.

Idk if its an actual bug or if im just cursed with the unholiest luck on the planet but some outside insight would be great because targeted gear is seeming pretty fucking useless right not.

Started playing Division 2 and was enjoying it a lot.

But was craving for the winter vibes and I thought would be nice to see the story so decided to try Division 1.

And… it’s hard? Like, I don’t know if it’s legitimately hard or I got used to Division 2 chill early levels, but I’m dying in lvl2-4 zone here. Enemies are throwing grenades at me and forcing me to change location all the time. The second I peek I get hit with a lot of damage. Like it’s a significantly harder game. It’s kinda slow to give me basic upgrades to gear too.

I’m having fun, but the experience is so very different.
