THE 2024 NEW CHARACTER FARM GUIDE for Max Expertise & Unlimited Resources in The Division 2

[@TuxedoBandido]

Update March 19, 2024: TU 20.2 the devs made it so you can’t access the countdown vendor until level 40. Just skip that part. The most important thing is max armor on your gear with bloodsucker on the backpack 🎒. Stick to the plan otherwise.

[@TheLegendaryHero13]

What would you recommend as being the best way to get lvl 31 high end or superior gear now that the devs took the countdown vendor away?

[@Faelandaea]

@@TheLegendaryHero13 There isn't any. At level 31 you won't be seeing any yellow gear at all, really, and if you do get lucky and get a piece it'll be far from any you can effectively use. I love Division games, but this is getting old with the devs going nuts nerfing anything that benefits players in any way, shape or form. So many bugs in this game an d what is the priority? "We need to "fix" Danny Weaver." "We need to "fix" the countdown vendor". Gah. I REALLY want to do watch farms but the devs hate players like me. They hate people who work for a living and do their best to contribute to society. They hate us. I am a truck driver. I don't have time to sit for 12+ hours a day on a game. So I find solutions to help with that, and when the devs discover such a solution exists, they immediately devote all resources to "fixing" it. I so badly wish that ANY developer in the world besides Ubisoft came up with The Division. I apologize for the rant. Just frustrated that every time I see something on KZbin that MIGHT make gaming easier with a f8ull work schedule, it gets nerfed into the ground. Hate to say it, but making a build anywhere close to what is supposed to be in this video is near impossible now. It is no longer "a bit of prep work". An average player would have to make mules for months just hoping even purple gear drops that fits the bill. DISCLAIMER - I post here out of frustration, Bandito. Your videos are awesome and your production value is sweet. You have a lot of great information so none of my venting has anything to do with your video at all. :) Stay safe.

[@ggathagan]

Here's a slightly different version of the strategy: I've kept one of my 4 profiles at level 30. Over time, I've built up 3 main load-outs: Negotiator's Dilemma with a Chill-out mask and knee pads from Fenris group, Badger Tuff and and Sokolov Concern. Foundry Bulwark with the same mask and knee pads used in the Negotiator's Dilemma build and a variation with the Ridgeway's Pride chest piece Hardwired with a Murikami mask and Waveform holster The pre-Warlords story line should have netted you Capacitor and Chameleon ARs and a Nemesis Marksman Rifle Level 30 blueprints allow you to reconfigure a Scorpio and a Chatterbox to level 30. If you've collected all of the masks of the pre-Warlord story line, you can also get a level 30 Shield Splitter. You can play Descent and get a level 30 Vindicator My additional weapons include Dark Winter and Safety Distance SMGs. In my approach, you start with the regular story line. Once you get to the White house, talk to Manny and choose your first skill, you have enough space in your backpack for one load-out's worth of gear and weapons. Load up your preferred load-out and take the helicopter to Warlords of New York. As soon as you land, put on your chosen load out and make your way to Haven. At this point, you can max out the skill tree for three of the specialists and create additional load-outs with the specialist of choice. For me, it's the Survivalist for the Negotiator's Dilemma and Foundry Bulwark builds, and Demolitionist for the HardWired build. You can go through the entire Warlords story line with these three builds, or you can add level 31-39 pieces as you progress. The big draw for that approach is that any blue, purple or gold level item can be reconfigured with 40-level attributes. If you happen to pick up a close-to-God-roll item, it can be a real performance boost. When you reach level 39, keep an eye on your point progression. Just before you hit level 40, move your favorite level 40 build to this character. Once you hit 40, put on the level 40 loadout and go kick Keener's ass. That process can be done in around 8 hours. Lastly: DO NOT RETURN TO WASHINGTON BEFORE USING KEENER'S WATCH. If you distribute the SHD points in Keener's watch to build up the resources of choice *before* buying the shared resources blueprint in Washington, you can go over the set limit of a given resource. Caveat: I've not done this since the latest update, so it's possible that they've closed that exploit as well. One real disappointment with the latest update: Up to now, you were able to use level 40 mods on all of your skills. They've closed that exploit and, in the process, also removed the ability to use the specialist-specific mods for the 3 specialties that you can max out in WoNY. Not cool...

I always start new character in DC, buy the shared materials and blueprints, do the weekly shd project to get the Exotic cache. OPEN the cache, either put it in stash or use it, then boost to NY. Then as soon as the NY manhunt is done you get a NEW shd project AND you get the materials and blueprints through the manhunt

[@jmh31890]

This. The method shown in the video makes it more difficult than it needs to be for some reason

[@kingslayerz1874]

@jmh31890 it's made with the thought of new players in mind also that may not have many blueprints or materials to share I believe. His method is actually spot on as far as everything else goes. I just pointed out what I do as a pro tip to everyone

[@jmh31890]

@@kingslayerz1874 by the time you make it to New York you have the blueprints for hard wired at least, and I'm sure many more high end pieces. The main point isn't blueprints, though, but resources (which he he mentions in the video) and a newer player would have better outcomes by doing it the way you and I mentioned. My guess was that tux is juggling a ton of stuff and didn't sit out and draw a flow chart which is completely understandable. Plus, now he can go back in a few months and "update" the guide and get another round of clicks which I think we all want for the channel and thus the game. I want him to be successful, anyway

[@andrewmarceau422]

How far into the new char must you be to unlock shared mats/projects? Wondering if Tux was simply trying to minimize the time played per char to allow for collection of mats at the end of a 3ish hr run? I just stated in DC and realized I would have to unlock shared and projects to allow for your method- and not sure just how far I need to rock before doing so.

[@kingslayerz1874]

@andrewmarceau422 if you start new charecter in DC, purchase shared materials and blueprints from Blueprint vendor in the white house, It's right away in NY. Only thing is some BPs are locked behind bench level and Division Credits are not shared.

Been doing this since I got my 1st maxed toon sorted and SHD1200 (800 to watch left me 400 to spend ). I have 2 mules, 1 x main toon and a WoNY toon. Happy at 15k SHD now too :) As soon as there is a new expertise update coming, I get a WoNY toon sorted, materials are maxed out and simply spend printer filaments on proficiency on the new items to hit the new Expertise level.

Very well done and helpful Tux, keep Tito on the payroll. Tito is one funny dude. If you want to add to this video in the future, you could add the stacking feature. 999 doesn't have to be your cap. I saw you were already stacking recourses, so good on you mate.

[@cdb.8638]

you can avoid the extra exp grind to get to level 40 after completing the manhunts if you just call for backup on each of the 4 missions, even 1 other in the party is enough of an exp boost to avoid most of the requirement, maybe 1 or 2 extra activites at most, if you also CfB doing the other manhunt related activities, such as police HQ, cleaner fire at JTF safehouse etc then you will be 40 when done with manhunt+castle

[@ryanm.9396]

Every time you start a NYC run on the way to Haven you will get one purple gear drop. Eventually you can collect a whole skill build set to speed run. A whole level 31 build with in sync on a weapon and kinetic momentum and combined arms. I use 3 piece emperess, 2 hana u, 1 wyvern. I don’t need to farm a build and can fly through until the Keener fight without looking at loot pickups

[@BoePeters]

Great Advice for Mule leveling. I want to add a side note and correct me if anything is out of place, but if you get an level 31 item and need to modify it, you can actually put it into the stash and use your main character to do so which probably already has the most crafting materials. As far as the Countdown goes, you still will need the materials to craft items.

[@TuxedoBandido]

Hmmm. Let me try. There is an auto level converter in the system, but I don’t know when it kicks in. Great idea though!!!

I was just doing this on my newly created mule- can only recalibrate 1 thing, and no optimization- so be aware! Also- I mark my 31 gear as donation to make it even more simple when scrolling thru in stash

[@sdepountis]

Just a heads up: They patched the countdown vendor and you cannot access it unless you're level 40. Plus all the season caches from the event are on level 40 now. Plus, you should have said that the exotic caches do not transfer to the mailbox when unclaimed and you lose them.

[@Druburt_ps5]

@10:54 😅 game changer indeed. Those sneaky devs siphoning all the helpful micro genius techniques as fast as you guys can put up a video.

[@Vlove214]

It's absolutely brilliant!!!

[@mistiaenpieter]

Before you synchronize your inventory with your main character at Nayla, it is better to first bring your materials to maximum. If you use war watch points to get e-credit, you can buy gear and weapons from the vendor, deconstruct them for materials and receiver components, if you have been able to set that to max (9999) then you can use the rest of your points for filements (you also need a lot of it) field data and you simply fill in the rest with whatever you have least or what he knows that you use a lot. If you go to Nayla and have everything synchronized, everything is counted together and you exceed the cap of 9999 with your materials and parts. That's how I do it anyway.

[@soldado23]

I just got back to the game a week ago. I am on my 4th character. By mistake a went to the lady that sells the Blueprints and I saw those two things that you can share resources and I couldn’t believe that in 5-6 hours it is worth it to level a new character than spend weeks farming for resources.

[@fullypatched]

Man, am I glad I followed Tuxedo's instructions early on. With today's title update, they restricted access to the countdown vendor - your character has to be level 40 to buy anything.

[@RogueSpartanB292]

I usually do the same thing, then at level 40, put on a Frankenstein build from my stash to finish keener

[@Luggruff]

1) So what do you recommend now that countdown vendor cannot be used? Grinding pieces that are at a specific level will take an eternity. 2) How do you use the level 40 Scorpio when you are at level 31?

[@reytorres6848]

I just use a skill build with empress and wyvern pieces at low level. Rarely go down redoing warlords. As you said the turret and assault drone will take you through all the missions.

[@nikhourston-taylor2011]

I run WoNY alot and am always looking to make my runs easy as possible. To start i always run to the whitehouse first, then boost to 30. This opens up Inaya so I can buy that share plans early. Giving me all the weapon mods i need in NYC and they also dont cost Ecredits of you craft them on the lvl 31 crafting bench as soon as you get to Haven. As for build, my one shot Headhunter build is great to lvl 37/38. All that extra XP is beautiful. I ran a skill build and didnt love it,even with max expertise on the skills. But today i will try something like this vid. One build, a couple of weapons and hopefully set to farm a liytle faster Xd

[@fullypatched]

This is so helpful!!

[@commanderynx3686]

A pro tip: Create a fresh character, boost to level 30 instead of straight to WONY, buy all the blueprints from Inaya, get to WONY and you have everything shared. Takes only a bit longer to complete the prologue tho. Depends on if it's worth having the shared bps while in New York

[@Skagen42]

Good Points certainly, but I feel like you can improve immensely, with little effort on the journey through WONY. What I did was get a new char to level 30 (via boost) farm open world, for Bulwark pieces, recallibrate them all to skill tier to create your own "Game Over build" - at level 30 though. Then if you wanna take it a step further get a single or two pieces of blue gear thats level 31, as that will allow you to recallibrate the full 170k armor onto it, and with that setup you will be nigh unkillable, while having full skill build turret drone or shield as you mow down WONY. 3rd step is to open heroic boxes at level 30 and get lucky and get either a capacitor or Elmo, and you dont have to redo your gear at all before Keener. Best of luck agents!

[@jaysonmeyers6819]

This was sharp thanks

[@AlfaStation1]

1) you can skip alot by just letting your main recalibrate low lvl gear. 2) armor on kill on weapon will get you tru most content. 3) you cant do Keener until lvl 40, so at that point just grab yr uber lvl 40 gear from your main.

[@Joshhomeslice]

Thank you! Very helpful!

[@Kjklump]

I feel like anyone needing to make a mule at that point already has the hardwire blueprints. I'll just take the small hit on resources and buy the shared resources and blueprints in DC. What i lose in over lap i gain in time.

[@wdavecpa]

when you get your level 31 gear and 36 gear that needs to be fixed put it in your vault and have your main tinker the talents change the cores and anything else that costs money put it back in the stash save almost all of that money and wasting comms and gear that could be crushed for matts - other than that great video - did learn a few tricks from you as well also if you are drowning in a certain exotic gun that you really like you can down craft one of them to 30 to add some fun - wastes 1 comm but 1 comm for all that fun #worthit Question - is there any reason to kill keener if you got your watch purchases when you hit 40 now without doing it?

[@nerfi4106]

[@timmigrant6597]

Destroying a character does NOT destroy the expertise of skills. So first time around, raise skill expertise on preferred Wony skills. Each subsequent Wony run, raise others. If you don't have technician, gunner, firewall unlocked on Wony completion, it's worthwhile to purchase them -- it allows for flexibility of using the 4th character for a full week on exotic acquisition. Keep the 4th character until the day before you want to rerun Wony. Then destroy all stuff and some crafting, then buy the share accounts option. Finally, spend 200 minutes running the 10 minute level 30 exotic crush new character. Then rerun Wony. If you're going to rerun Wony, complete it on Monday, the day before the SHD project rolls over.

[@TuxedoBandido]

Good info here. Can you expand on “full week on exotic acquisition” and “200 minutes level 30 exotics run”

[@timmigrant6597]

Sure. In a typical week I can obtain 100+ exotic components. I do this by starting on a Sunday ONE Character and maxing resources for the 10 minute exotic SHD Requisition reruns (10MESHDRR). Any surplus gets used by other Characters (This is a character I reran WONY with the previous Monday). 20x I restart a character, run to base, level up to 30, buy the Shared materials blueprint, obtain 250 either water, food, or components, and commit 500 fabric and 500 receiver comps plus other resources to get the SHD cache. wait a minute, then logout & delete the character. I do that 20X. I then switch to a permanent character & run Countdown 18+ times - crushing everything, until fabric & receiver are full, or close to full. I can then buy 10 exotics. At this point if I'm short I convert SHD to required resources. I then run for another 20x. Total 50+ exotics in 13 hours. Prior to Sunday, I've done the daily, weekly, descent, legendary, summit & SHD Req for every character which usually yields. There is an alternative however. Since resources stack when you buy a resourcesharing blueprint, you can simply rerun WONY 5 times to be able to run the (10MESHDRR) 100 times. The trick is maxing all resources on the wony character BEFORE buying the blueprint. This applies not just for raw materials, but also optimization materials . Full week on exotic acquisition refers specifically to the newly WONY complete character. That's why IMO you should run WONY on a Monday - you can squeeze out an extra exotic. You're at level 40, so you have a week to complete the PVE projects: 7 dailies ,4 weeklies , plus DZ projects. Most players will try to do all projects for every character. In shared mode, the SHD level is increasing for each character, the WONY Char increases total useable SHD passively by 33% on a 4 CHAR account. But if you prioritize projects by exotic/min and spread your fixed amount of time across 4 accounts, you can increase exotic counts without spending 33% more time. @@TuxedoBandido

[@timmigrant6597]

@@TuxedoBandido One other thing. If you're not in a hurry to rerun New York (in the next 10 minutes) but can afford a few days, the 20.1 update allows for a great opportunity to make a fantastic starting build. During each "200 minutes level 30 exotics run" (2ML30) look at the new pieces - the new exotic and the new NAMED piece. Save 6-7 exotics rather than crushing them(weapons: 1-2 ARs, 1SMG, 1LMG),(gloves, mask, knees), and whatever nicely supportive/rolled NAMED pieces (holster, knee, pack, chest, weapons). In 60 runs you can get a decent build (including the build pieces the 2ML30 gives you - which doesnt change much.) It may take three 2ML30 runs, but you're not wasting time.

[@commanderynx3686]

@@TuxedoBandido I'm working on it, also a huge tip that synergizes with Bloodsucker is if you have the Hunter-Killer on your main character, you can just open the chest in Haven and claim it. Now the other thing I don't know is if you can reach level 31 in DC before starting WONY. Because I did a fresh lvl 1, did prologue, boosted to 30 through the store, and did some projects before so was halfway to 31. And also FYI as a level 30 you CAN access the Countdown vendor in DC. Because if you could get to 31 and still access the vendor that would be the workaround. Because ideally, at least in my opinion, the best setup would be Picaros, Fox's Prayers, Contractors gloves, hunter-killer/zero f, liquid engineer, and hollow man. Once I'm done with my mule I will check if it's possible to be 31, in DC, and access countdown vendor.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. How do you have all the soecializatiin pkints available on a new character????????

[@TuxedoBandido]

if you use the "boost" if will give you all the points. totally worth it.

[@clintward3532]

@@TuxedoBandido its only 3 of the specializations that are available, and I dont use those. But youre right, the points are there.

[@jeredlawday4015]

I just erase a character, start new. I do everything in the game, cp's, hostages, territory ect ect. When I'm done that I'm good to hit 40. I then just grab a 40 build from my main and delete the end bosses including keener.

[@BlackbeardKNAC]

I tried this but it does not work anymore after the patch which sucks. I am trying to get back in to the game and I can see that not much has changed with the developer being cunts about anything fun in the game. There seems like no way to get yellows at all so I am not sure how to proceed with this.

[@HelmsRupture]

This was patched, only level 40 can access the countdown vender - Tuesday march 19 patch.

[@KaroSabokbar]

I have tried it and it doesn't work. The bulid gets very weak from level 37 up

[@TuxedoBandido]

Did you skip the level up your weapons at level 36 part? Cause 1 million in armor for the build is plenty.

Omg just laughed out loud at the mule graphic. Dude, seriously talented!

[@youtubecommenter2527]

AI generated images require zero talent.

[@Newfh]

Geez relax. It has more to do with the production value. The voice over and animations make for a very pleasurable experience. (Which I found very funny). I find your response a bit off, but you are certainly entitled to it.

[@youtubecommenter2527]

@@NewfhLol nice goalpost moving. Let's recap on what I was responding to. Your comment-"Omg just laughed out loud at the mule graphic. Dude, seriously talented!". Now you say it was about voice over and animations. Things you never mentioned in your comment.

[@Newfh]

“Goalpost moving” that’s funny as well, I play goal. Thanks for that. I watch these to learn new things and to be entertained. ☑️☑️ I will try not too reply so quickly when I see something that brightened my day. Apologies

[@TuxedoBandido]

@@youtubecommenter2527not true. I’m a graphic designer. Those’d images were photoshopped after creation. And you need art direction to use and create good so images. Video producers use stock images all the time for years. Sai images is just a better version of that.

English is not my native language and man i understand nothing about this. What happens if i dont use mule characters just play the game on my main account?

[@ejengstrom]

I need to hire a tutor to absorb this. Way too much info for my old tired brain.

[@youtubecommenter2527]

7:30 this is incorrect. I have purchased literally everything from Inaya on my main yet my mule does not have access to the tinkering library. Only Versatile, Unstoppable Force, Concussion and Creeping Death are available to recalibrate on backpacks for example.

[@TuxedoBandido]

You have 2 libraries. Level 0-30, 31-40. You can switch views, but you don’t care about level 30 gear. You want level 31 gear to access level 31 library.

1st off Love❤ the video. But I'm worried you are going to scare some people away, this is so complex. After 4 runs I got my mule run down to 3.25 hrs without all this crafting stuff

[@simontemplar2987]

Yeah, I think the Devs busted this method! No gold lvl31

[@schlobster3929]

A little note from a new viewer, this was a very informative video, however the sheer amount of AI art in the intro section made for a very jarring viewing experience, more gameplay would’ve been nice

[@jmh31890]

Hard wired x4, china light chest with skilled and death grips or pallisade 1 piece, all at level 30 = you can solo the entirety of NYC without changing a single piece of gear in 2.5 hours. Im bad at the game so my time isnt even the best
