It's awesome to see those skilled player able to play around with gear set and builds to get so powerful while i have no idea how to do so.

Picked up this game on recommendation from my younger brother. He and I + our dad use games to stay in touch, hopping from one co-op/multiplayer game to the next. We started playing TD2 not too long ago but it's been a hell of a good time. Just wanted to say thanks for all the informational videos + guides, because they've helped us out a lot as new players (or returning, in my brother's case).

Staying in cover gives you weapon handling. A good way to show this is looking at the reticle difference when in cover and when out of cover. The 2 dots for the 2 bullets end up in 1 spot when in cover.

Is there a way to permanently show Item Details to the right of all the items in our inventory/stash/loadout screen? Currently, everytime when I go into my inv (etc), I have to hit a button to display them, but I always want to see the details anyways, why can't it be permanent? Recently came back to Div2 since a couple of years when I played it a bit. Completely forgotten about everything, not to mention all of the new stuffs. Therefore, been searching on youtubes for some good tutorials/tips and so glad to found your videos. You explain everything in such clear & organized ways, feels like I'm going through some tech instruction/training course - which is awesome! Thank you very much & keep up the good work!

The menu you talk about at 3.15; anyone know how to access this on PS4? There is no 'Options' option here on PS4 and I can't work out how to get to it.

[@richardtasden4417]

I'm sure not a lot of people do but, the tip could just be "read the menus and settings."

[@ThatAbrax]

A solid piece of advise that many overlook!

[@neanderthalthinker8847]

Wish they did to this game what they’ve done to Breakpoint. I loved everything about this game except the realism. I look more for minimal HUD, stealthy gameplay that doesn’t take 5 clips to kill someone.

[@ThatAbrax]

That would be pretty cool to see, I would have liked to see some slightly stealthy mechanics but I don't know if it would have worked with the more RPG and multiplayer elements of the game. I'd still love to see a more stealth based single player game set in the Division universe.

[@JerryDechant]

I'd like to be able to filter out the languages I can't read and don't understand in the chat window, but I don't see a way to do that. It would be easy to implement by enabling "choose language(s) to display" and having a check off list to include or remove from your viewability list. Also, I think it is lame that you can only modify one attribute on any piece of gear or weapon, as well as not being able to apply available attributes to any weapon for weapon abilities, and available attributes for gear abilities. (Simplifying this would make their in-game data crunching much easier on the servers.) Those suggestions will probably never be seen by the dev team(s) but at least I got to put them out there anyway. :)

[@Mythtician]

Very helpful. Thank you. Need a video for the best high dps builds.

[@poisoncheeto9956]

DOT is more important in PVE. DPS is more important in PVP.

[@ThatAbrax]

@@poisoncheeto9956 DOT is a catagory of DPS. DPS is short for Damage Per Second, this is a measurement of how effective a damge build is at doing damage. Most damage can be broken down into two catagories, DOT which is short for Damage Over Time, there is also burst which is damage that has an instant effect.

[@poisoncheeto9956]

@@ThatAbrax For your edification. DPS in the context of the Division games is the amount that you are doing per hit. In player versus player modes the time to kill is truncated to the point where speed is necessary. In other words, one must inflict maximum damage in a short amount of time. DOT or damage over time in this context is what it is. How much damage one does over an extended amount of time, i.e., a sustained firefight. In PVP we have to move quick and kill fast or be killed. In PVE we move fast, slow and require more time to complete objectives. We also have the benefit of relaxing our twitch reflexes. We have time to survey the map, relation to our team and the movements of the A.I.. Previously, I never wrote what DOT and DPS were. I merely wrote which is most appropriate for specific conditions. Once again; DPS is more important in PVP and DOT is paramount in PVE.

[@ThatAbrax]

Thanks for the response, I'm not sure this is worth arguing about but by definition in The Division 2, according to the actual in-game UI, DPS is the measure of damage you do per second, you can see this by entering the firing range taking a few shots and you'll see the numbers labelled DPS will start going down while you aren't shooting because during that time you do no damage so your DPS becomes lower, below that is 'Damage Last Hit' this states the actual damage of your last shot on the target. However this is different in The Division 1, in the first game the Firearms stat displayed your actual DPS, this does still refer to Damage Per Second but is used as an overall measure of your damage.

[@stephenphillips7699]

What would be interesting is knowing which watch upgrades to do first or mainly do first. I started with the armour, weapon damage and skill damage but what did you start with?

[@ThatAbrax]

I think you've started with some good choices, I think I actually when with the same things to begin with lol. Really I don't think there is a wrong choice to go because you will eventually max them all out, I'd just start with the attributes that you feel reflect how you like to play.

[@stephenphillips7699]

@@ThatAbrax thank you, with the new specialist tree coming, is it worth completing the ones I haven't started?

[@ThatAbrax]

To be honest, I have no idea, I've tried asking a few times about whether we'll have to re-start our spec progress from 0 or not but there isn't any news on it yet. If I hear anything I'll try to get the info out either with a community post or a short update vid because I know there are a few people curious about this.

[@ryanadams9779]

What type of build are you running for your rifle? And why use that specialization?

[@ThatAbrax]

In the gameplay with the rifle this is a full breakdown of the build I'm running: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3rWlWpmqtdsqJY And I'm using the Technician specialization for the +1 Skill Tier which means I can get as much damage as possible from the build but get a little more survivability from the shield being at skill tier 1.

[@dwolff4127]

Did you know that you use the term additive and multiplicative incorrectly? MAth does not care the order you multiply factors. AKA DTTOOC is not a GREATER factor due to its placement in order. Nor is the 8% contractors gloves BETTER then 1 piece or Fenris (10% to AR's) ALL % factors are ADDITIVE as you define them....AKA 8% contractors does NOT multiply with the total itself. IT is simply a single ADDITIVE factor. 8% X total ADDED to the total. No different then the 10% AR (10% x total ADDED to the total. Your reply of....but this is only on the base weapon damage is math stupidity. 5x4x3x2 = 2x3x4x5. it doesnt matter what ORDER the formula is in. AKA T = Base damage x 10% AR bonus + base damage is just as great an influence on the final total as calculating everything first THEN using the 8% contractors ( Total = 8% x T1 + T1 (oh look at that...additive and calculated EXACTLY the same as weapon damage bonus) where T1 is the subtotal) Go to the shooting range. Swap contractors for 1 piece fenris. Shoot AR. The Fenris build has more damage. The BONUS of contractors gloves is that it applies to ALL 3 weapons in your build of ANY type though does NOT apply to health. IT is WEAKER on ONE weapon that you could have used the specific 10% bonus too be that Fenris for the AR or Badger to the shotgun and so on. Some idiot uses the term multiplicitive on KZbin and META and now all of you use it incorrectly. Again. Math does not care the order of factors. All % damages are additive or they would SHRINK the total if under 100%. Get it right.
