The Division 2 Dark Zone in 2024: HOW TO FARM EMPTY LOBBIES, EASY EXOTICS, MY BUILD & MORE!

[@Kamikazevondoom]

Log out near safe house. Log back in and spawn in safe house. Then log out again and switch character for a minute. Then go back to original character.

Thanks Kami, appreciated. I you could, for the chests locations we don't really need a video, just a single image with the points in the map would suffice, in twitter maybe?

Farmed DZ South all morning. Got 1 exotic component and two Dread Edicts. 25% drop rate seems like it's missing a decimal point.

[@ricardoefcbrito]

Going to give it a try. I just got my watch to level 100 and this is an awesome way to farm more stuff that can buff my character!

I gave it 3 tries but could not get an empty lobby. Btw, I only have one character

@@ricardoefcbritodark zone is a wild place be sure to maybe find a group if solo extract as soon as possible

[@zanehall9164]

I can confirm that this works! I've only run into a few people doing this, but it definitely works.

[@JasonDonnar]

Do you have to go Rogue to get those boxes or were you doing that just bc? Since the craft station is still messed up, I just stashed all my exotic weapons and gear and put them on my mule and when I recrafted them, everything god rolls, gotta love it!

[@knightmotorsports-ey1lw]

So an invaded DZ box doesn't require keys, but a non-invaded DZ does. The other option for the non-invaded is to open the box by going rogue. Also worth mentioning is that only black boxes in the DZ have a chance of dropping exotic components.

[@rogerburditt2190]

Now, this is going to be a very helpful tip for me. I'm going to try it after work I really need because I'm soo new and can't kill anyone in the dark zone! Thank you! 🎉

[@michaelford837]

I remember when i use to fast travel to the dz entrance and log out after it reload me and log back i use to have an empty lobby and i was extracting and doing landmarks

This video is the first time I hit the sub button and the bell after the author asked.

I'd appreciate a video of the routes you take in each DZ.

I just want to farm quickly and efficiently without disruptions, so this was super appreciated! Cheers!

What are the coordinates of these boxes with exotic components? I'm not familiar with the dz map. I have no idea where you are.

Does not work. Tried many times logging in and out. Loading screen or not..full dz

Did you switch characters and wait a couple minutes?

[@x213xlegend]

@@Kamikazevondoom yeah I've tried exactly the way you showed in the video. I switched agents waited like 5 mins it just keeps putting me back into the same game every time.

[@blackdaemon01]

I concur, does not work for me either. DZ "seems" to be empty, but after a while I met other player, just one. Hmmm. We cleared several landmarks, extracted the gear and then he went rogue and shot me in the back. But we were alone there, is that how it is supposed to work?

[@jayboardman339]

Same, keep getting full servers

[@jasonross3500]

How are you finding the exotic boxes. Also do you have to do an extract to get them out . I haven't been in DZ for a while super toxic . Love the empty lobby method 4sure I like to get n and out like you.

Thanks man but can you show where the chest are

Cheers mate going to try this. I never play dz so going to try! Please can you share the links or re do the routes you take to find the exotics that will really help. Cheers

Yoooh Kami yo shit is legit and have been loving all your videos since day one! Can you please do the DZ Routes please? Oh and 3 of your builds is my favorite and I'm running and gunning like I'm on a sugar coke rush😂 keep it real from South Africa living in Ireland

[@bookah8787]

Holy moly look at all the exotics he's got lol I'm brand new to this game I have a long way to go 😅I'm at level 20 or just a bit more, I run 2 marksman rifles and everything my gear is for headshot damage and critical rucksack has armour regen , I'm doing it the long way no boasting to level 40 like I'm seeing people do maybe they have played it before and already know what everything does but I want to do it all myself and with some friends, I got to the dark zone yesterday, can't wait to get my hands on the level 40 sniper rifles though insane amount of damage lol, even the marksman rifles I'm using now pretty one shot the enemy and are only around 12 or 14k damage lol , haven't really used any other guns apart from the pistol that you have anyway.

[@heavenknows3606]

One thing I’ve noticed is the NPC’s grow in strength along with you, so if you’re currently Lv 25 the enemies aren’t very hard to kill but will get harder to kill once you level up… I’m always looking for people to play with so anytime you want we can play if you’d like🙂

[@bookah8787]

@heavenknows3606 I got bored of it dude went back to cod lol

[@D-Jay-King]

PLEASE make a video on the farming route in the Dark Zone. I remember you made that one from the safe house to the ship that was full of items, then you went in a tunnel down in the South Western part of the map. I still know that exact farm and do it to this day. Thank you!!

[@DcoyMcoy]

If you make an empty DZ and start farming, can someone be placed into it?

[@D-Jay-King]

I do our daily run that you left a few years back every day it's by the river you go to that house and then you go on the roof get all the goodies

[@John-Val056]

I just did it, I was able to farm DZ credits. A 15 minute run got me about 30 credits and was able to grab two chests. Both extractions went smooth and didnt run into one player. I only did it in DZ East.

[@bjornf.193]

Thanks for the vid. Great stuff. Would appreciate a chest location video, or a link in the description to your old vids. Aaand another question: Why do you go rogue before opening a chest? Better lootchance?

[@r0botnix499]

You go rogue so you can pick the lock instead of using DZ keys

Yea it is not a 100% guarantee that you will get an 'empty' DZ I tried a few times and soon as I finished it someone was calling an extraction and engaging a landmark.

The logout trick does not seem to work on PC. Tried several times, with different delays, loading screen every time.

Does that mean that there is no one in that zone while your farming for exotic?? Is there a chance that someone might actually join by using your name to join group?

[@chrisholmes8688]

Can I farm landmarks? I mean is there a time limit before other players start popping in.

[@geoffbucks5803]

Ive never had fun in DZs i last about 5 minutes before Im hijacked by a rogue or someone and I just die and lose whatever loot ive collected Ive tried all sorts of builds but i just cant get quick enough to run around and either get out of their way or manouvre myself into a protection or kill position - very frustrating Some cheats and rogues make it really crap going into the DZs

[@creednothingistrue2655]

Your videos are greatly appreciated so helpful.

[@machinejj5060]

So if you manage to get a solo lobby Is it possible to eventually get random players putting your lobby?, After about twenty minutes off running around , I noticed that a player showed up on my recently played with list.

[@killerisawsome2918]

How to play in empty lobbies play anywhere from 9 to 11 pm i swear i played in all three darkzones and found 1 person and we became friends because we knew we where the only one in the Dz i feel like division 1 has more players because that dark zone is always packed full

[@davidhines7592]

does the game then try to load people into your empty lobby after a time? because if this works on pc i will start using the dz again and clearing landmarks knowing i can extract any exotic. if it only works until the game sees you are the only one and sends in some random players then no point.

[@ferrenberg]

Doesn't work on pc, just tried multiple times

[@devilution928]

Been working for me without issue for about a week, now it no longer works. Tried multiple times and it puts me in the same lobby every time. Can anyone clarify if it has been patched?

I love watching you play

[@XiaosaGaming]

Not sure what I am doing wrong, I have ran in the middle of the map and did the whole thing you did on video and I still can't get myself an empty lobby, I am on PC even.

[@2PeteShakur]

xbox only :(

[@paulmacwales]

I find with PC (European servers) that if I try this real early in the morning, i.e. less users online, I can get a map with no extractions or engaged landmarks and can run around opening up all the boxes I can find without seeing another player. If I try it in the evening I have no such luck. So, I assume it is down to users versus server space. Less users = good chance of being alone. Many users and all lobbies already have users in.

[@2PeteShakur]

@@paulmacwales nice, about what time is real early?

[@XiaosaGaming]

@@paulmacwales Cymru ym Byth. Anyhow thanks, I am sometimes up during those times so I might check them out when I'm awake and on during those hours.

[@paulmacwales]

@@XiaosaGaming Just to add to the confusion, I tried again last night around 19:00. Put main near DZ south safe house and logged out and in. Not empty. Logged out and put mule in same safe house. Logged out and back in with main to have an empty DZ. All the resources boxes were taken but the loot boxes were available. Also had a free go at DZ drop. Took over an hour before I saw another player.

[@neo_blackstar_xx469]

I tried, I do get an empty DZ for about 15-30 minutes then I start seeing people going rogue again and landmarks being crowded. Am I doing something wrong?

[@bbroegger]

Did you change anything in this build, now the lexington is here ?

[@Kamikazevondoom]

Negative. Not my dz builds

[@AJAE74]

The exotic chance is %25 percent now? I remember your video on lock picking and opening at the same time with a friend for that 50/50 chance.

Is this still working? I'm trying right now 7/3/24 and I can't get an empty dz.

[@AJAE74]

It works for Xbox, I'm gonna try it how I usually do it on Xbox I been doing this, got ps5 as well so gonna test it, join a random group in matchmaking that's doing a mission, fast travel to the dark zone, walk into the DZ, as soon as you're in the DZ you leave the group. Lobby should be empty or maybe 1 or 2 others, but they're not roguing most likely, just farming.

[@Iby00]

Still works? This will be huge for the 5x xp period.

[@basaltnow]

can you explain the log in log out change character login logout bla bla ebetter? because it does not work on pc

should it work on PC or only console? It's always loading again when i'm in the safehoue or leave the safe house.

@@OrlandoVergelJr n legit just ran dark zone actually got a chameleon with dmg to armor I actually wanted and got killed trying this for the 7th time, now I’m getting put back into games with the same horrible degenerate scum raiders that like PvP and got no life. What a game, low drop chances im praying for a eagle b drop, knowing how unlikely I’m rarely hitting crates mostly landmark farming and then sometimes I log out to chill get back on my main and things sometimes work, then I see bottom left, “player went rogue” god I see why ppl do it for the loot but personally I find it better to be one of the good guys, a “don’t be part of the problem, be part of the solution” approach, my brother who plays always wants to hit other players, don’t blame him when he enjoyed playing games like rust, Apex, battle royals etc. but the real ones, are the hero’s, the unsung good guys, thank god I grew up watching Dayz, then played TD1 where 15-20 players would sit extraction, one group or small handful of players would duck into cover go rogue in like 3-4 v 14-16. Watching bullets fly like it’s a 1930s Tommy gun gangster movie as justice is swiftly dispatched on the greedy corrupt players who only think of their own gains. And don’t think of the players loot they steal, how they could grind, work hard for that loot, or in my situation now, working full time job, jumped on and felt like hitting dark Zone, and within 30 mins im hit by a ouroboros build player w/ no life, since I know nobody on Xbox who can effectively run a paradise raid and/or relys on KZbin raid builds (like 3x strikers kits, effectively making you a horrible mop where when hit with slight damage, you go down like a 4 y/o screaming in pain over what can be examined out to be a paper cut on other builds but bc no armor you die easily and quickly, then rely on a effective “medic or future build” to come save the day.. wish I could find a pro group I could run any build with, even the one rn I’m dominating npcs with rn..) this game leaves much to desire and for solo players a never ending nightmare, my only hope is to run DZ for that eagle fhance drop and not get killed and raided for it..
