Dude has 1202 dz keys and here I am getting hyped when I reach double digit keys.

[@osbaldomartinez4962]

End of Daze Broooo Same XD

[@xDCrossFireSure]

End of Daze I have 1, dz sucks. I don't like pvp, but I do like sealed caches. ☹

[@PippyT1]

End of Daze it's really easy to get keys tho

[@Mercenary-1914]

SunSine you can farm DZ without ever getting into PVP now. You really have to just avoid players. See players put your head down and keep it moving. Don't farm areas where you see rogues and pvp players. Call fake extractions to throw of pvp players looking for people to kill. When I solo farm DZ I farm the non purple areas. I call an extraction at Gas Station...then head up to DZ 4 and extract. I stay on top level...if I see someone coming....on my concealment I drop down and head to DZ 5 extraction above the garage. You just have to play sweaty...just like farming a Legendary Mission...You have to play sweaty there and hope not to wipe...play the DZ like it's END GAME mission.

[@asianmac6757]

I have almost 4k

[@slamjam92]

this helped me a lot! i havent played division since the launch and coming back just really shows how far the games come.

[@dawnwalkerwolf9655]

I always have that excitement feeling in me when a new update comes out, and how you make a video on how to get ready, I cannot wait!!! Please keep up with these videos Marco, thanks

[@saopaulosoul8714]

dude every time! love the videos you post.. and may i just say, the division is riddled with problems, but at the same time the devs did manage to create a game (even though again, riddled with problems) that is awesome, addictive, and simply beautiful in game design. thus the fact that you still make put out content for it is commendable. incase (the community) we dont say it enough .... thanks!

[@NimbleJack3]

tl;dr: Farm crafting matierials, especially Division Tech. DT can also be found in caches. If you want the new named weapons, stock up on Exotic caches and open them when the patch goes live.

[@whitesborowillis]

Yea yea, like the crafting items j awn! Preciate the tip! Great video

[@crm4moxxi183]

Thanks for the upload Marco.

[@KlebersonMinoda]

Thanks man! You really help me a lot!

[@Prophet91]

Marco with the informative vids, keeping ya boy occupied at work #AppreciateYou 💯

[@puppins92]

Thanks man!! I realize that it might have been known already, but I really appreciate you making this video!

[@puppins92]

It really is indeed! Now I know what to focus on. Thanks again.

[@harrynacman]

As always another great video Marco. I will sure start farming divtech ;-) keep up the good work and maybe " Zie je laterrrrr."

[@frostbitecaverns2128]

You are a fricking genius thank you so much now I'll definitely kick ass in 1.8 thanks for the video

[@numenorean6408]

Very useful video, tnx.

[@fjkinnit]

Good video as always.

[@Senor_Gabriel]

Really good Info!

[@InvntdXNEWROMAN]

Ugh, I'm so sick of farming the Legendary and heroic missions though -_-

[@jaykingston9516]

Kyle Gruber I feel you bro

[@pattern_]

Then why buy a game based on getting loot and farming for better gear xD

[@-fndi-austin1007]

Kyle Gruber I know what u mean

[@CharlesTersteeg]

I quit as they are just repetitive. Ssdd. Give me some random maps or get exotic caches from weekly hvt or under ground.

[@letshaveya]

Yeah but I am very skeptical of a horde mode after the boring mess that was the first incursion, it will need to be a much more enjoyable game mode than that was. I have a bad feeling on the harder levels wont be that different, you will end up hiding in one spot being spammed by grenades.

[@toolbox1972]

Thank you for the D. Tech. Video!! 👍

[@yanng239]

yes thanks it's realy a great idea Marco !

[@szohaibakbar1]

wow very use and great video you are the best

[@tburke480]

Your videos are awesome, thanks bro! I'm going to sell all that "useful" gear I have collecting dust cause I have no space at all. I been saving exotics, have about 20 or so but cool vid! I didn't know about the key fragment trick for Dragons Nest, thanks!

[@tripstouch1]

It's the same thing we all have done since 1.6 lol but great video💯💯

[@Mayrose587]

Nice video Marco, thanks. Did you make a video on the ramifications to current gear with the upcoming changes to Stamina? Is Stamina now going to be the new "Armor"?

[@peterharper9703]

Thank You!

[@almjljl]

big like for you broo the most helpful video 🌹🌹🌹✌🏻✌🏻

[@imgladiquitdestiny2401]

I've got 21 exotic caches and a whole lot of those global event caches too, nearly half of my pack is just saved up caches. But I just got my code for the cte and I can't wait to see what this update will feel like!

[@Corpu5]

nice job, bigup

[@FaroiaAlves]

Exactly what I’m doing. Weekly every week and legendary when my guys are online.

[@munchinkin]

video starts like this "Patch 1.8 is about a month away from now" ... september 27 2017 ... LOL

[@mikejleigh]

Quality again, cheers

[@Cloysterpete]

Could you do an updated best in slot guide Marco?, I've been away from the game for forever now and I'm really confused as to what I should be rolling into my gear. In 1.7 or 1.8 I don't know if rolling health is worth it or if I should be getting skill haste etc.....

[@TheDtmadskills]

you have alternatives!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

[@theT58]

thx man guess I know what I'm doing till dawn.

[@vtyranicmc]

Best division youtuber xx

[@SteelCity14]

Happy with alternatives. I'm casual player now since started playing NHL.

[@AdsShotta]

u needs exotic caches thats are most important as u get div tech from it 22 - 38 and a chance to get the new exotics. and stock up on crafting materials that's pretty much it

[@DRSKINGDAVID]

How do you download the updates? And how do you know what update your game is currently in?

[@Lmtl3ss]

every patch they ask about what they should do and every patch i sit down and start planning about the new meta

[@dragun_star7479]

I like your videos...(simply put)

[@yorkshirepud6676]

Very good video also if you need money pick up your purple gear from the light zone bosses and sell, l have over 1 billion 246 million it all adds up! another great vid Marco. ps did someone mention destiny 2? isn't that the game were they took all the fun bits out from the first and left a shell of a game to play? Stick with Division after all the updates they will fix it and the rock will become a Diamond.

[@raw-go-krazy2579]

What would you say would be the best way to build in 1.8 when it comes to firearms, stamina, & electronics? Considering they are changing stam again.

[@jb-xj3hk]

Which is better DPS or damage. I've been trying to do legendary missions or heroic but every time I do it with friends with base to get near the end and just keep dying and dying do you have any advice on how we can do it on any of the legendary or heroic missions

[@kapablekid]

Thanks for the heads up Marco. Always appreciated. As soon as I heard about Div Tech in 1.8, I have been running my gold seal route as often as possible & not engaging with other players.

[@Morlokist]

And what about the GE Credits we receive from GE "Assault"? Leave them and use them when 1.8 starts ? What's your advice ?

[@clevelandgeorge8226]

I don't know if it's true but I heard opening exotic caches on certain days give you a higher chance to get certain exotics

[@adammitchell6138]

Should I be saving all my caches or just the exotic ones?

[@unstalling]

So what would be the best build for 1.8 (5 or 6 predator mark) or (2-piece/4-piece tactician and reclaimer)

[@Tomasrts]

I really like this game

[@ace_of_spadesgaming9674]

Marco....how do you gather stuff from Live server and get them to transfer over to PTS? I logged in to my characters on PTS and everything looked to be about 2 weeks behind. Is there a way to force it to catch a more recent snapshot of the live to PTS?

[@nyan_cat_ruler]

Are there any other ways to farm for cypher fragments if you don't have the Dragon's Nest incursion?

[@Catspoken]

wonder if they’ll fix the Liberator icon hanging off the side of the UI. I see the Devil doing the same thing there

[@AJSTEPHENS0121]

So are the next three classified gear sets coming in 1.8 or in Global Event 2?

[@yzrider261]

This video makes me realize how long we have been waiting for 1.8 and still no release date. Latest news is "early December".

[@AnthropicUniverse.]

I got two Ninja Bike backpacks since 1.6 but doubt anything will happen to them.

[@StrongOaker]

9 exotics per character or 36/week with four characters: 3 from Legendary 4 from Heroic Incursions 1 from Weekly Survival 1 from Weekly

[@nellone]

Nice video as always, i don't like very much the deconstruction part, but that is not your fault but ubisoft's

[@SevenDaysToNoon]

So if I’m a solo player and I have 4 level 30 players on Xbox and 2 level 30 players on PS4 and 2 on PC, I just need to farm 24 hours a day to max everything out in preparation. Great!

[@lifesshortlivefast69]

Will the optimization station work on weapons??

[@darrensweetman3673]

Will div tech be easier to get aswell? I have only 1600 atm im hearing u will need about 5000 to max ure gear?

[@Solkard]

What is the cap on division tech and crafting resources now?

[@uglyyolk]

Where do you get Exotic Caches? Only fro heroic incursions?

[@S1MPLEM1NDS]

Haven't had a problem running my sealed cache route in the DZ early morning for a while. You put this shit up and it is littered with fuck boys. Thank you.

[@FrankTank47]

wait this doesn't work I have a lvl 9 ,character but I can't buy high ends for tools only greens can someone tell me etc?

[@lul1aby810]

Marco in the pts the new exotics seem really rare from the caches any reason why?

[@cobeyrivera327]

The only thing I'm grinding for once 1.8 comes out is classified alpha bridge gloves and holster and a classified tac knee pads

[@tuelzalt]

Cobey Rivera that's not going to be Avavible on 1.8 right away ......the going do the GE every month and release 3 different GS every time ...the pts is just letting you test all of them like the last pts had striker and all that and when the update dropped it only gave us LS and Deadeye and FM

[@darrensweetman3673]

Will 1.8 be out the same time as the next GE

[@trigger4o49]

can somebody suggest massive no crit when hip-firing is also an option

[@jonathanlaurent7544]

Does the Cypher Key Fragment farm method on Dragon's Nest has been patched?

[@ricolives1166]

That MG42 is so crazy

[@Oper8torSix]

Why is it you can only get certain Exotics from boss drops? Why not any Exotic?

[@crossrose4504]

Can you save the ge assault caches for 1.8?

[@Xlife93]

Does anyone know if they are going to add that new 8 player pve in the 1.8 PTS ?

[@WarrenWorthington3]

It's unreal (at least to me) how you just stand in front of NPCs like that on Legendary.

[@iAmExPLiZiT]

On pc they can hit constant headshots so the NPCs stagger & flinch

[@davidkeener5274]

Unreal to me, too. I tried a legendary, got maybe two kills before they flanked me. I really need some "god-roll" gear, cause I'm a glass cannon and my "cannon" (dps) is laughable compared to a lot of the players I've matchmade with.

[@jdaza1987]

Fyi I think striker is messed up again. You lose the stack when you change weapons, like in patch 1.3-1.4

[@randywalker7405]

I have 4 characters and all have 7 boxes to open for the exotic weapons! 👍👍👍👍

[@ravenousfire7798]

Have devs confirmed that the Exotic caches will hold new loot when 1.8 goes live? Are you sure PTS doesnt alter the loot table? My friend swears up and down the loot is rolled when you pick up the cache.

[@Blasikov]

Thanks MarcoStyle. As always, great advice! That said, there is no way I'm ever going to spend my valuable gaming time bit twiddling gear like that =)

[@littlebignuts02]

I see nothing more than skulls mc gloves and midas from exotics starting to think do these other weapons really exist?

[@JerryCanTheThird]

Thanks for the vid! What build would be best for the coming GE? I think its assault this time. Anybody have any advice?

[@Morlokist]

And what about GE Credits with GE "Assault" ? Save them and use when 1.8 will launch ? @marcostyle

[@sedrickhudson2773]

I need to know the best mods for police m4 and could u give me a good striker build thanks so much game on

[@kylebaker6110]

So you have to build 4 players from scratch to level 30 ?

[@bilalissa7836]

where do you get 256 gear blueprints ?

[@TheDyingScotsman]

Hey Marco - we tried your tip to farm Key fragments - alas it doesn't work. We got a max of 1 key per run. Not worth it by a long shot.

[@rowindegraaff5021]

Marco, could you share a lightweight m4 with me or tell me where i can get one?

[@darrensweetman3673]

Im sad dat the last stand caches dont give u a chance of classifieds

[@RacerC45]

Hey. Did you see my link on The Division/Overwatch crossover?

[@chocolocojames213]

I wish the enemies will be randomly generated on the missions so at least it'll add more variety to the missions and maybe feel less grindy.

[@tblazin01]

That trick with the vendor price doesn't work on the ps4 :-(

[@flaviodiaz2678]

is the gear above 256 only for pc?

[@omaewamoushindeiru2303]

Did they patch the 4 horseman cypher key method?

[@MrGabberPete]

50 Div Tech per optimization is alot

[@ericbrown4761]

Gabber Pete yeah, or you could spend an hour at the crafting bench hoping to get a decent roll. It's six in one, half dozen in the other I guess, but you're right, it's a lot.

[@InvntdXNEWROMAN]

Division tech will be more available to fsrm in 1.8 and is going to be lootable in the open world, not just the DZ. Plus, it shouldn't be that easy to maximize your gear.

[@jbyoungin4760]

Gabber Pete where is the optimization thing at

[@InvntdXNEWROMAN]

JAY BAY not on the game yet. It will be next to the recalibration station.

[@MrGabberPete]

Yeah @Jay Bay, its gonna be in the new social area, a new terminal, in west side pier in patch 1.8. @kyle I hope Div Tech drops in the open world. having littel to no friends on Xbox I tend to travel the open world solo. It should drop in skirmish and the new PVP

[@abeldiaz2854]

Over a month and a half of preparing for 1.8 now 😑😑😑

[@CrzBonKerz21]

Is gear score now beyond 256??

[@ericbing8636]

If you want to lower your gear score to get to the lower world tiers, I would just craft some lower level green and blue items.

[@kuda0623]

Not A Noodle just set world tier in map

[@MichaelJordan2040allOver]

all my stuff i pumped up to the max..if i open cashes i only c red writings..u have the max account of this that any thing haha

[@henrik-6201]

Where u get the hat ?

[@rod-knocksmod-chop5207]

Well so much for any exotics for me I’m just a filthy casual

[@kylebaker6110]

What console you play

[@vstro223]

When does 1.8 drop on console anyw as y

[@AnthonyBrucelll]

i had this on the PS4 but no longer have a PS4 im on PC now.. if i rebuy this game and login to my uplay account will i still have all my progress?

[@alohamark3025]

Nope, the PS4 status does not transfer to PC, or vice versa. You have to do the 1-30 grind all over again. How do I know? I am on both platforms.

[@AnthonyBrucelll]

damn, well thanks for the response

[@anishnalluri]

DAT pain in the HEART when he mark Exotics as JUNK.....

[@MasterReptile25]

is there any Discord servers or Ts Servers for the division?
