*BEST WAY TO FARM* The Division 2: HOW TO PLAY COUNTDOWN in 2024 (Full Guide & Build)

[@BlackWolf812]

And don't call in the extraction with 2 minutes left, wait till at least 10 seconds

[@dittspoke4400]

5 seconds to get one more chopper load of npcs, and probably an exotic, and you will still have 12 secs. to spare to extract.

[@tonybuchanan7517]

I hate when people call that in early

[@Mickeystyles1]

Good to know

[@karthik7365]

How about people doing everything perfect in heroic and forget to extract at the end

[@blenzonline]

Dude not going to lie .. I knew alot of this info except the fact that you can get coins and buy exotic caches?? You just saved me hours of grinding.. first time at that table got 3 exo's that I wanted. You're a blessing bro 😪😅

[@JoeyTrotz]

I loved hearing your relief when he was still alive! Thanks for all the great content.

[@fignewton3544]

This happens to me approximately one out of ten rounds and has ever since the intro went wonky. Just played a round with you Kami. We killed it. Thanks for all your vids. 😎

[@coryrhymer1852]

Thank you for making this video. I just started playing countdown ,and I was just saying that I need to find an instructional video on it . Thank you.

[@doobydoo9548]

Skill builds are a no no,as the hunters hack your striker drone and your turrets and will kill you and your team with them,trolls do this on purpose you see them throw their sniper turrets right into the nest of hunters at extraction site, if you see this happen you better hope your running a jammer pulse 😀 also don't call in the extraction until you have say 10 seconds left on the clock otherwise you have just lost the time you made doing a fast run getting there,new players think the goal is to extract asap but the real goal is to stretch out the time as long as possible so you can farm the spawns from the helicopters 👍

[@simontaylor9362]

Playing countdown with your hard-core is hard-core 😮 having an ongoing directive or future initiative on the team is gold

[@miccullen]

Good work encouraging people to to do Challenging/Hard. A certain computer-generated YTer keeps telling people to do Heroic, so single-digit SHDs are all doing that, and it's a "won't extract" situation, which make it (mostly) pointless for them (and us). Just do the level that you can do and when you've learned about builds and so on move on up - people are happy to carry, but there's a limit to how many in one group will work.

[@ArminVanLiberty]

True. I'm not quite sure if anyone should be doing heroic because the loot quality isn't too different from challenging and it takes less effort.

[@shadowman8582]

@21:15 - It's a know bug that you run the risk picking up the final crate loot that you'll crash.

[@andrewhacker5034]

Thanks mate. Ran countdown for the first time last night. Still trying to learn those locked crate locations. A few teams did the protect the VIP.

[@williamfahey4712]

Just wanted to say thanks for the hunter help git all ivory keys. And i think the chatter box is better the shield splinter

[@drewculver5797]

Sometimes I forget to clear sufficient room in my inventory to pick everything up and end up having to break everything down or be happy with what I've picked up, heed my warning people! Make sure you have room!

[@williamfahey4712]

Just want to say thank you for the help getting the shield splinter I had to do the monument 4 or 5 times with a salute before it activated

[@ArminVanLiberty]

I didn't know that named caches from CD might drop DZ items. Thanks for this vid!

[@salvadorruiz2238]

Excelent explanation! I love the phrase "ohhhhh! piece of candy." :)

[@brianhansen9684]

Family Guy reference. 😊

[@shadowman8582]

On Challenging, if you spawn in in-time to get the first hunter, you'll end up with 158 credits. If you don't spawn in-time, you'll get 140. I'm guessing you'll get additional if you complete all 3 encounters but very rarely do groups do that. Just saying this so people don't think they'll get 180.

[@miccullen]

On Challenging/Heroic, Protect VIP hasn't caused any issues, and you get to kill a LOT more enemies. (This assumes a decent team, of course.)

[@VeddeRob]

That crash thing happens at least 2-3 times a week for me. Friend who plays as much as me says the same 1-2 times a week. At least a year like this

[@salvadorruiz2238]

Today I have at least 7 crashes is really annoying :S

[@dittspoke4400]

as per observation and experience, to avoid crash, as soon as you get the last loot on final mission, don't run. just walk for at least 5 seconds, then you can run. no crashes eversince.

[@VeddeRob]

@@dittspoke4400 appreciate the tip, shall try it this today. Crashed earlier before reading this...

[@christobotes8632]

​@@dittspoke4400 Great tip. I play countdown a lot, and experienced this a couple of times a week. I will give this a try. Thanks.

[@dittspoke4400]

@@christobotes8632 Some more tips to avoid crashes. Limit fps to 60, vsync OFF, enabled reduced latency to NO. Hope that helps.

[@killakam9437]

Bro huge fan character litteraly looks like your lol just got the chameleon and the electric ar first count down ever same run I fuck with countdown heavy quit playing for almost a year and a half glad to be back

[@mickbaulch]

Oh man my heart skipped a beat watching that! Glad it didn't kill your character

[@Junioronomy]

I run on Challenging, a few times on Heroic but I didn’t see the difference in npc and Boss fights, guess I had pretty good teammates but definitely for me Challenging which is better for farming weapons etc.

[@planted_world]

Well, if you don't see a difference, stay on Heroic and earn more Tokens...

[@zerofire3172]

The amount of loot is the diff. There is more drops. Sane quality as challenging. More elites in heroic that drop more loot.

[@Junioronomy]

@@zerofire3172 you’re absolutely right, I should’ve clarified it in boss and npc fights

[@tracyallen1778]

I'm witnessing this and thank God you didn't lose your character

[@nuldonnie]

Lol you won't lose it

[@Amaliovh]

I’ve learned stuff. Ty man

[@rsfanxiety6830]

I run challenging with my Hardcore character. Really helps me get my gear.

[@djrobgkc]

Is it me or did the kinda nerf countdown with whatever your farming because I haven’t gotten a lot of what I’m farming

[@Reginaldesq]

In my experience countdown will crash (on PC) about 1 in 10 times when you pick up the cache of the main objective. Its been that way since day one.

[@sharky5216]

Thanks for this KVD most informative and enjoyable. Any raid ones coming for new and returning players ? 👊👊👊

[@cdiers26]

I was in a countdown today and the group leader kicked legitimately 15-20 people. I was the lowest shd level at 450ish and there were people with 20+k shd after ALLL that no one called in extraction with 2 ppl sitting in the zone and a wave of hunters having just died, no enemies on the map -_- too funny

[@zerofire3172]

Was it dirtsaw?

[@MountainHigh1984]

I think it's the last loot box before you extract and countdown it seems to always freeze me up as well but yeah pucker factor for sure LOL hardcore character I haven't even had the guts to try countdown or descent yet

[@miccullen]

For some reason, that spot is where I've frequently had the game hang. Really strange (and frustrating, just as the good bit is appearing (assuming you have a decent team)).

[@johnsmith-vy7es]

Great video as always. Do you have a link to the build??

[@brosciencegutfeelings7058]

Do you have to buy the NY expansion for this?

[@jayretrotv2908]

Help me I don’t get no progress, or loot drops, and my team groups don’t show on the bottom right screen

[@leopoldd.8147]

I´ve played a lot of Countdown and often have done protect the VIP and we had have never problems with the time. i´m doing this also for my HC (using the points to buy an exo box) but only run with my SC. Because i can support my team much better and have no fear of loosing my HC and as it seen on your video, maybe an other push you out of cover. Don´t risc your HC and note: you doesn´t know how good your team is. So for me it´s 1h for 2 time exo box and additional exo components if they drop.

[@Richard-zy2nv]

How do you choose c what loot to go after

[@BamBam546PS]

I love countdown. I do it in challenging. I dont believe I have done it in heroic. I dont get alot of exotics but I do get highend items. Good stuff. Thats f up if you lose your hardcore character

[@differentuniverse6831]

Build at 9:23

[@MusikohneNoten]

So often I got Delta with my HC character. But luckely the char was not deleted. What is going on with HC?

[@TheVoidBeing]

Me wanting to get system corruption: I don't think I can get it in that game mode, imma go back to sneaking around in dz.

[@edwinchw]

27:32 what do you mean by if you die in hardware you will loss your character?

[@thrassthrak9091]

Exact that means hardcore.

[@BlackbeardKNAC]

Wow, the pucker factor was very real

[@ROCONN508]

It was max pucker😂

[@WillWilson-ir8qy]

What is the protection one bad?

[@xlazershock]

Can you get the Iron Lung to drop in Countdown? Or do I have to buy exotic caches at the countdown store? I've been trying to get it for a nearly a month by those two ways but I haven't gotten it yet

[@reganheath]

Iron Lung was season 2, so _should_ be in the general loot pool. I would buy the countdown store exotics, too, to increase your changes.

[@karm1na1300]

I saw it drop in countdown yes

[@jonathanf106]

Countdown over the Summit? I thought they both have targeted loot option

[@MichaelCox-mg6vi]

yeah.. have had that a couple of times on x- box

[@unknowndevil6668]

So can you get the raid exotics from the caches, even if you havent done the raids?

[@THEOBJECT1VE]

Is there a reason why i cant matchmake in Countdown? How come I cant toggle Targeted Loot? Is it because I boosted to 30?

[@JohnLocke-dz2zt]

You cant farm system corruption right? Is that a dark zone exclusive?

[@Sanctuary666]

Correct

[@ubermoc]

You can get it from conflict.

[@renoreign4572]

I only wanted certain hunter masks, but now I want 2 get all ivory keys, but I don't no which hunters I all ready killed ,,how can I tell,?so I don't do the same ones over again?

[@WD-tj7lk]

One display in the basement at Whitehouse and the other in the basement at Haven

[@brashbadger6608]

Wait you guys can actually get a full team for countdown?? I sat in matchmaking for an hour today

[@bumpdurp2778]

restart the game,sometimes the matchmaking are bugged out

[@chaddyboi7198]

Ive done countdown close to 100 times never gotten an exotic and dont get good loot from count down wtf do i do

[@tempolivre9465]

I started to play on xbox, somebody know if the game has good numbers of players on Xbox?

[@gdson2378]

I have had this happen to me 3 times on countdown. Done main mission then froze

[@madomasri2974]

Guys do i need to do a specific thing to open the countdown because i can't find it i'm already level 36 and i'm a new player

[@Glee_kev]

Did they take it out of the game because I don't see it

[@flipadelic87a23]

Something going on in this game they change something in the game make the enemy run like flash and fly like a bird you shoot the enemy they start running like flash cant even hit them and when you shock them they start flaying using st.elmo losing Interest in this game glitch too much and kick you out a lot of time

[@Patterson66]

Can i get a vile mask drop without having the blue print or anything. In countdown

[@Pottzy]

Yes, I just got vile the other day while doing bounties in New York

[@leicafans2010]

did you report to ubisoft on the bug. there is nothing to fix now in their record.

[@aniam5935]

It happened to me laging out and it was my first time doing it

[@davemeads859]

Mine is always set to manhunt mode is that normal

[@WillWilson-ir8qy]

Kami why do you run that build?

[@Kamikazevondoom]

This is not a build showcase. Merely a countdown game mode showcase. The build was just random. You can use whatever you’re comfortable with.

[@WillWilson-ir8qy]

My bad! I thought it was a safe build for hard core. I am not brave enough to try hard core.

[@Kamikazevondoom]

@@WillWilson-ir8qy with hardcore, I would do 1.6M armor and unbreakable

[@Johnny_Mosco]

You hovered over gloves when describing your build and said “Coyotes”. Did you mean Contractors? Also, which weapons you using for that Hardcore build?

[@Kamikazevondoom]

Yes contractors. Also, the shield splinterer and dark winter are the weapons

[@ChrisOBrien666]

There is no worse hardcore death than lagging out!

[@jokerug71]

Top grazie

[@ROCONN508]

It really sucks though when 3-5times you wipe at the end because of stupid. Sucks this is our best option.

[@emmalenedresden988]

The crash happens on normal characters to such a pain.

[@YSo_Joker]

Anyone have room for 1 in their clan - thinking about playing the game again. Any new content?

[@meghansmith7884]

21:16 🤣Now im not sure if i'll get this game lol....Meow

[@East287]

Idek how yall are even playing countdown, when I do manage to get a working session, you can’t even extract at the end. You’re just stuck on the end screen. I have to close out my game completely and not get any extraction bonus. This mode is ass

[@WillWilson-ir8qy]

Wierd. I get 120 tokens on challenging for doing all the tags and what not.

[@sticknaw1]

Countdown has been a mess lately... For multiple reasons. Still fun but not as fun as it used to be.

[@seanemersonsantos1239]

Division 2 is super buggy, there are no loots in countdown

[@bluelotus2947]

Anyone else finding it hard to matchmake

[@bencresswell1177]

They have legit ruined it by allowing people to lvl up whilst playing it the amount of people who have bad builds who can't carry there own weight in it now has basically stopped me from playing and honestly made me not want to play the game on general

[@ericflores1986]

So countdown is a group mission I don’t as doing it solo
