10 DIVISION 2 SETTINGS YOU NEED TO CHANGE FOR NEW AND RETURNING PLAYERS (CONSOLE & PC)

Still looking for people to play with check out the School of Skillz Discord: discord.gg/HNcBgeH

[@brandtwarren7072]

Shit bruh I'm on everyday clapping around the dz, what you playing on?

[@tvvnation8731]

I’m on everyday also I just got the game so kinda watching your vids for guides

[@kingreef2160]

Do all the exotics can be obtain by just playing through the games?

[@mtjoleolkaelle]

NothingButSkillz bro I just got the game about 1 month and your videos have been great to use as a guide, I’m JosephsmilIng1 on ps4 I would love to play with you and be on your team .

[@wylhi3955]

NothingButSkillz ngl i hate toggle to sprint and i dont think it would change gameplay but yea

[@abrahamquintanilla6053]

neat, was always wondering why everyone’s character was an olympic track runner.

[@NothingButSkillz]

lmao

[@papurrurru]

true man, I've been playing division 2 from day 1 didn't know I was missing on something so important as field of view

[@ahmadyousif7177]

Nice but does it really effect your acual speed in the game or it's just visual effects

[@papurrurru]

@@ahmadyousif7177 it's probably just visual, like when driving a car if you look to the front it doesn't seems to go too fast but if you look at trees to the side it will look like you're going much faster

[@Tantalus010]

@@ahmadyousif7177 It's just visual. You look like you're going faster because the camera's view is wider and therefore slightly stretched. It's similar to what's known as the Starfield Illusion.

[@aceman67]

The mouse sensitivity settings are personal preference and hardware dependant. No two mice are the same, and not everyone can handle high sensitivity.

[@Tantalus010]

Virtually all of this is personal preference. But, then, that's what most settings are for.

[@ITMann]

Very true, it all depends on hardware which is personal and differs for each person. But yes everyone should make some adjustments to get the best out of the game. However if you adjust to the limits then you will become and look like an Olympic sprinter running with an 80lb kit ! Sometimes it spoils immersion, and also be wary of the fish eyed look when adjusting field of view. It will always be a mix of settings that increases game playability but looks “normal” and creates a sense of immersion.

[@barr3h]

Best change of setting for me was disabling the animation when you switch to your special weapon. Saves just a little time when you're in a fight and need to use it without all the fancy switching 😋

[@toilet5217]

u mean the UI animation? disabling that doesnt affect the switch speed

[@BraveStars]

@@toilet5217 No he means the orange screen glow that appears when you switch to your special weapon - Grenade/Rocket launcher, Minigun etc.

[@vendetacos]

How?

[@jeffreysmith7377]

You forgot "turn off vibration" on controller for console player's. One of the best things you can do. Feels strange at first, but it really improves your aim.

[@anvilofcrom1]

And it helps with battery life too.

[@BigJay773]

@@anvilofcrom1 🤣😂👍🏾

[@666waystodieforlove]

I turn off to save on batteries too.

[@vexile12]

I have it turned off because the vibrations make it difficult to aim and with the nerve damage in my hand its hard enough to play the game without the vibrations let alone with it

[@joseyero297]

I turn it off so the noise don’t wake up my babies 😂😂

[@a.j.murphy8305]

Recently came back to Div 2 , also a Div 1 player. Of these tips i had 6 of 11 and i agreed with most of your recommendations. I liked you commentary - clear - concise - and the screen was clear about where the various options were and why in your opinion someone might consider this change. Very well delivered, much appreciated.

[@markvanderbur5521]

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for putting on these videos. They’re pretty educational and I am starting division two all over again so here we go.

[@drosas18]

Thanks!

[@NothingButSkillz]

Just saw this thanks bro!!!

[@Dr.Failtastic]

0:40 I mean, well, he has like 80 pounds worth of gear on him, I don't expect him to be racing Usain Bolt. I get what you mean though makes the game feel quicker, less generally boring feeling.

[@RBDubison]

80 alone he has wayyyy more

[@jamcgee7479]

😂😂😂😂

[@IAMDJEPIC]

Man, I'm so glad I found this video. Had division for a while but haven't really learned how to be great at it yet

[@The_SmokeHut]

NothingButSkillz I watch a ton of your info about the Division & Division 2, love how you explain and show everything for us players that don't have alot or as much time to play. Without a doubt your videos make me a better player. Appreciate what you do..✌🏻

[@NothingButSkillz]

glad you enjoy it

[@oerwout10]

Just keep in mind that increasing FOV doesn't actually make you faster. it just looks like it because of the stretching.

[@seffers4788]

I was like holy shit do people actually still believe this shit in 2020 lmao

[@RBDubison]

Npcs move faster also

[@gusic5095]

Yeah I know

Hey Skillz...just bought the Warlords DLC. Your game settings video made the game so much better.

[@williamdelforce2517]

i bought the warlords of new york dlc i forgot how much i love this game the excitement when you grind for something and get it it's amazing i also got the go bag when i was getting chest for my chatter box which was epic

[@careyselko5677]

Finally, a way to get her to come off that wall when I want her to, instead of running around in circles trying to peel off. Thank you!

[@butterflymage5623]

Speaking of settings. I always wanted one of you guys to do play throughs with absolutely no HUD. I started doing that in D1, and have never had it on for D2. O It definitely adds a challenge as well as makes communication and build diversity in group play a must. You should try it out and do a vid on it sometime

[@muthemaori5899]

I don't know of any channels that play with no mini map.

[@angeluhoh1959]

Would you look at that those are the default settings besides the fov and sensitivity

[@blubbermolch]

And those are up to personal preference usually xD

[@spacemanjupiter]

Thanks for this. I'm usually very picky about going through every damn setting in options, in every game, but I didn't for this game for some reason. Some of these are pretty important. Just started playing this game today.

[@eldenjr]

I’ve made of couple these changes. Mainly the aim sensitivity and the movement around corners. The auto sprint, I’m going to try. But I don’t spend a bunch of time sprinting. I’ll see how it works.

[@doffroader]

@NothingButSkillz; bro, I'm a player on PS4 Pro, and these changes really improved my gameplay experience. Keep the awesome videos coming, bro. I'll be watching. 😁👍

[@BasedDad35]

7/10 of these are default settings lol. But yes still a nice video

[@Dadofgirl]

Some damn good tips. Thanks, as a new player they really helped.

[@1badpit100]

Thank you this was a huge help.

[@LR0278]

Not sure if its good for everybody, but I like holding X(on PS4) to enter cover. useful for those times you just want to dive out of the way but accidentally go into cover. I got use to it pretty fast.

[@NothingButSkillz]

The long press to enter cover? It’s a good option

[@Herringboner]

@@NothingButSkillz Also remember that skill where you would do a cover to cover in division one and receive a heal? That was super nice. I think it was a skill on knee pads i can't recall right now. I still do this to this day.

[@LR0278]

@@Herringboner There is in Division 2, just can't recall where I saw it. I think it's a holstered ability.

[@inceneration]

[@briancrooks5982]

Luc R Speak the gospel!

[@briancrooks5982]

One of the best is turning off sticky cover when you combat role.....can’t count the times I’ve been killed because I was evading and got stuck to cover, especially in tight spaces. Turned it off and I’m sooooo much happier

[@dzoui3410]

For me, the only default settings I needed to change was the sensitivity, FOV and FOVWA. All the other settings are default to what you advise. Thanks for the info.

[@Shikaku11373]

This is amazingly helpful thank you for making this video.

[@666waystodieforlove]

I also like adding in player skills. This way you see what your teammates are running for skills.

[@death123note]

My left thumb always got sore after playing for a while holding down the joystick to run. Thanks for all the tips!

[@entfisher]

Thank You!!! So much better!!! Never thought to check the settings like this.

[@dylancarroll487]

I really appreciate this because I had these all set but if I'm not mistaken they get reset after updates. Since coming back I've noticed many of the issues you brought up such sticking to cover, slow running, and poor FOV. A quick edit. After playing for 5 minutes with the proper settings it's like a new game. Thank you so much.🙏

[@danielwhitworth1769]

Awesome vid man I’m starting today 😎

[@fluffyfeetbmf]

This was great, the running an jumping over something instead of getting into cover was annoying. Thanks for another great video.

[@kanetidus]

Me I have a big BIG problem on PS4 when it's night, rain and fog, practically you can't see anything 2 metters in front of you, I was fighting some Black Tusk, I was blind, it was a nightmare. I don't know what settings to do or on the TV.

[@MemoriesLP]

Same here on PC

[@jul1an170]

Go to graphics and then brightness and put it up fully

[@slaternapier1640]

Still looking for "push to talk" in on PS4. it is NOT in VOIP anymore. there is mic on/off, threshold, and mic boost. Over in "accessibility" the closest to PTT i can see is "voice recognition" option that has either talking, or push a button to talk(which doesnt have an option to choose PPT button assignment). is that the PTT option, or is that for the voice to text/text to voice thing since everything else in this menu is for those who have hearing or visual difficulties? sometimes my gaming headset is charging (it has a button for the mic control itself) so i use regular earbuds sometimes. and id love to save players from my mumbles throughout gameplay lol

[@randallcromer66]

I just got back into playing after being away for a while and this video really helped with some of the new features that are in the game. Thank's for the information and for keeping us updated on what's happening with the game. ✊🙂👍

[@stephenjcam]

Dude these settings have changed my whole experience, thanks so much!

[@PhantomBruv]

Awesome video just getting back into The Division 2 and really needed this!

[@toddgrendziak1155]

I have a question I made a change to one of my controllers and during gameplay my screen will go read? Heartbeat? What did I do wrong?

[@kuyaaids]

The toggle to run is a big help, my older mech keyboard's shift died due to an old game not having that option, switch gave way after a year. Saves constantly holding it down.

[@MRGarcia1983]

Tnk u for the time to make this video u made my game experience better

I know this video is old but thank you a lot man even the enemy look more bigger I can see better and it looks nice and wide I can see the enemies on the side thanks again man

Thanks for share these valuable tips, your channel is definitely one on best resources for Division 2 game play. Keep up the good work.

[@vulturviolet]

how do you show on screen damage when shooting and can you stop changing to signature weapon (very annoying)?

[@ADISTOD3MUS]

What's the difference between green bars in your internet connectivity and blue ones, I had blue bars for a long time and now they are green again,even I saw that my ping it's lower, it's better green than blue?.

[@justinjersey676]

I have a question. I just hit level 30 but when i'm done on Normal and Hard on selected missions, the Challenging mode isn't available or not there. Is there a specific World Tier level needed to be able to unlock the Challenging mode? Thank you!

[@jamesainsworth701]

Hi how do you get your weapons DPS HIGHER? Am lost in what to do do I need to be level 40? Any help would be great thanks

[@pixelneer]

Hey Skillz... How about changing the damage number display size on 4k console? I changed to 'scrolling' but they are still too small to read...

[@camf33]

What's the default FOV for the Division 1 - I know the game was never designed to have this option configurable, I am more curious for it VS defaults on the TD2 out of the box. .

[@chillaxto7078]

This really did help me thanks😃👍🏾

[@jnelson16701]

Excellent video. Thanks for the tips.

[@user-xi5rn8gi5h]

Thanks man, this really helped.

[@fire_ant_187x7]

Nine of the 11 I agree with. Pressing the button to go around the corner is debatable but the press button to get out of cover I have to have on! Do you know how many times a character pops out of cover accidentally when trying to move back and forth along cover bassaly when the camera angle is not looking directly in front of you? He pops out of cover every damn second and gets shot! So frustrating oh, that's a definite no for me on that one

[@robertskr8507]

Fantastic! Thank you from a returning player.

[@danbarmore5824]

How do i get rid of this transparent icon in my lower left corner. It has 3 purple lines and white text saying Hard as Nails. Undressed to Kill. And, Group Therapy. Shits driving me nuts

[@AP-18789]

You can also cancel your skill action by pressing your weapon swap button.

[@xSensu]

YES!!! thank you i'm glad i'm not the only one using these settings

[@MrDubs]

Think this video was great. Some of the settings the majority consensus would be 'need to change', but I think this video does a great job at making one aware of each of these settings. So don't necessarily take it verbatim. Really only one I found to disagree with and it was toggle-to-sprint: 2:14 - Subjective really. Not a 'Must change'. On PC, toggle to sprint gets dicey if you are doing a lot of stop-and-go. Since you've got your pinky on shift anyways, sprinting is far more responsive in hold-to-sprint. the only caveat would be if you were running marathons.. but even then, I wonder if auto run would be a better solution. I don't seem to sprint with auto-run, so I'm not sure if those two settings play into each other. 3:18 - If you like the concept of parkour mode, keep in mind that you can have the same satisfaction by holding down your vault button as you approach obstacles and your character will seamlessly vault.

[@Savvycyclist]

Well done video! Thanks for the tips, I'll check my settings.

[@NothingButSkillz]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Jeff52779]

I made these changes a few days ago and my sniping in PVE was vastly improved. I cannot wait to see how well these work with the Expansion and what my gameplay will look like when I create another character.

[@Jeff52779]

@@rickoqc Hardcore mode. I want to give it another attempt. That and I need to level up my exotics I got at launch and need a below level 500/515 gear level character to do it.

[@MatlasDI]

One setting you didn't touch on but I see you have enabled is the 180 turn and run on left stick press while holding down. I think it was default in division 1, but I literally just realized they had it the other day as a setting in 2. I based a lot of tactical gameplay off it in division one and it seems to work almost as good in 2, or I've gotten a little rusty with it lol (ie quick turn and then hold the aim button almost simultaneously and you get a stupid fast switch to aiming behind you, or combine with cover or parkour and you can quickly wind up in a different area of cover) I used to have one of the elite paddles set to run so I could switch off with it quickly, but cant for the life of me remember how it all felt seamless anymore. Lol All great tips as always, man!

In some videos I see the damage numbers fall into the side of the enemy instead of in front of them, is that a of thing or can you do it on console as well?

[@JDxxxxxx]

I highly recommend long press button into cover. Trying to roll next to cover is so frustrating cause it always puts you into cover when trying to roll.

[@DNH17]

Thanks a lot I actually hate what you look for and love how it is the exact contrary. Thanks for explaining how not to do things :) Also hate the head ache speed ... it's utter trash stressful. The best is slow paced. Same for the whole rest of things toggle must stay no. it must ask you to press it all the time. Anyway Props to you. you are one of the few that took a look at a part of settings. Cons is that you haven't gone throughall of them. This is a very negative thing in games. nobody takes care of settings but it is a must to do it to actually give value to players.. Today nobody cares of players, just care of one own self and not even of the community. Anyway thanks for this I now know what I want even if this is the opposite to what you like to play with.

10 Division 2 Settings that doesnt do shit for you that you do NOT need to change. FoV Doesnt do anything besides eating your FPS. Yes people with a better graphics card or trash console will be able to use it, but others who cant afford triple a graphics cant. And to be honest it doesnt do shit anyways. Mouse sens Aim sens and scope sens.. Everyone knows about that. First thing EVERYONE changes unless they are plebs behind a pc. Normally and correctly calculated as an Error 40. There is nothing in this video that makes sens to change what so ever. its not a NEED TO Change. its a My prefered Changes to my config. Forcing this on Plebs and other people is just a youtube thing to do. Rather want you youtubers to understand that you dont have the best settings always. to be exact, 99% of the time youtubers are gaming with shit settings that nobody gives a crap about. And these are one of them. Granted i like you as a youtuber. But please stop forcing people to make changes that makes no QoL gurantees in their game anyways. You should rather tell people to go find Vsync Toggle it off. Then go to Nvidia controlpanel and find Vertical sync and toggle that to off also. now THATS needed to uncap the Fps on a 60fps monitor or higher. but im pretty sure you didnt do that at all xD

[@DaPredz]

Hey skills, or anyone who can answer this. Why can’t i see my weapons’ base damage like you can? Im on xbox but when i see your weapon builds i see that base damage figure below urs. Is there a setting for that to show up?
