The Division 2 (2024) Best Guide Ever! Beginners & Returning Players • Tips & Tricks • Part 1

[@TuxedoBandido]

What was the first thing that wow'd you when you entered the game? What level are you so far?

[@o.s.95]

the opening cinematic before even getting to play, especially the quote: " for the first time in centuries, what we want is also truly what we need". That hit hard . And im SHD 40

[@hugopcc1]

The big black tusk boat hovercraft thing in the intro

[@brassbat]

​@@o.s.95 I agree. That cinematic really hits you in the feels.

[@gregc.5684]

@@brassbat Yeah, the overall beauty was my wow!

[@ArtrexGaming]

Cinematic for sure, and level 6, big weekend of gameplay coming up, so pretty pumped. Mains in the 400

[@appealinbanana]

Watching this has made me realise how far I’ve come. What’s important to remember is this is a game that can keep you entertained for years, seriously, years. You’re not going to bang it out in a long weekend. But for me that was the draw. I’m UK and I have clan friends in US (mostly East coast and central) and throughout Europe; Netherlands, Norway, France etc. And TUX adds awesome value to a game that’s already great value 👊🏼

[@apsintrapsin3073]

so you can come pretty far im assuming? We talking feet or meters? Well.....thats good to know i guess but i need an exact distance so i can put it in the chart

[@pablorodriguez5624]

Returned to the Division 2, and the last time I had played I progressed horribly, started a new agent and have been following guides on what to do early game and truly have improved how I play and progress vs my first go around

[@ThisOLmaan]

yeah im level 30 but dont have the bells and whises i thought i have once i hit that Level, from now on I'm not side track and jump from one end of the map to the other far end only adds confution. on that note i don't mind starting a new Agent.

[@bigwizzle45]

I haven't logged on in 273 days... there was only one place to go for my triumphant return. Appreciate ya brother.

[@kashiro2492]

Man I haven't played since launch lmao I'm so glad this game picked up and has alot of content I played the first division so much this is refreshing

[@txdbstx8967]

New D2 PC player here. I bought the game including all DLC’s a couple of years ago but never got past the first couple of missions. I played it once or twice and haven’t touched the game again until last week when I was looking for something new to play that I felt I could get into on weekends. Due to work I only game on weekends and maybe once or twice after work during the week but not always. So this video is very helpful to me because when I first played the game it was very confusing trying to figure out all that’s explained in this video. That’s the main reason I stopped playing this game after only playing it once or twice early on. This video will absolutely make me get back into D2 which I’ve always known is a great game but was just too daunting for me to learn the UI and all of the various features in the game. This guide is much more helpful with detailed descriptions and information on all of the things I haven’t quite figured out yet. Compared to other YT videos I’ve watched, this wins by a mile! Thank you!!! Liked and subscribed! You earned my sub!

[@TuxedoBandido]

That's so awesome! thank you for marking your words and the vote of confidence. Welcome back, there is nothing like the division 2, honestly, it defines the genre. Here's the livestream of day 1, lots of nuggets in here that also might help kzbin.infoF57s_kMMD5w?feature=share

[@Given2Fly7173]

Exact same here….had thousands of hours on TD1 and wanted to get into TD2 but it just never caught me…..bored on everything else, I’ve slowly found myself trying to give TD2 a try.

[@LoganConnally]

Just started playing last night and was overwhelmed with the amount of options this game has, thanks so much for the guide, feel like I’m on the right path now.

[@supermagoo]

Just now jumping into the game for the first time. Surprised this game is bringing in this many views on a video. Excited to see the longevity keep going in this game!

[@d1rty_dan-259]

your intro was literally the reason i subbed xD.. now to continue watching the video.

[@applin121]

I’ve only recently come to this game and it’s such a massive improvement on the first one; in every way.

[@Itz_Golden]

The last time i logged on was 706 d 13 h 22 m ago... this was great for a refresher

[@apsintrapsin3073]

dang, congratulations

[@Jaap-Relou]

I last played my agent in 2019, and dropped the game after 90 hours give or take. After watching this video I straight bought the game from the second hand market for €4,- and started a new agent yesterday. Immediately found back the love for this game. Really enjoying playing through it once again, especially now with all the updates and the DLC . Never played a raid and the DLC so very much looking to go and play through everything on offer. Al lot of info tho…. And much things to learn 😅

[@fernandocousins1611]

Dude same here add lmk when you wanna team up and grind brother 💪🏽🤙🏽

[@skyfire_swe8520]

You are me. Am lvl 40 now and am having fun but am a bit lost with the removal of world tiers.

[@leegranite2920]

This was very helpful. Thank you for making it and sharing. This game is dense for someone who hasn't played in a while.

[@retro-1236]

Wow, that intro man. Awesome!

[@spacemonkey2431]

Awsome vid bro, keep it up!

[@TuxedoBandido]

Appreciate it!

[@grimhellraven1557]

been playing since day one, this beginner guide is perfectly done! probably the best guide ive seen on any game

[@TuxedoBandido]

Wow. I’m honored. Thank you.

[@semperf1dude]

This is brilliant, left the game a couple of years ago , so this is incredibly helpful and of course the game has changed

[@ACE-ej4fu]

i returned to the game last week and got bombarded with all sort of stuffs to do. would be nice if theres a vid that explains those

[@apsintrapsin3073]

read them

[@MouthCrash]

You've got one hell of a graphics department, I'm always very impressed by how well your graphics are done every time I tune in to your shows! I am downright in Aww!

[@TuxedoBandido]

man, I wish. I am solo-dolo. I appreciate you noticing the details!!

[@skoovee]

it’s ai lol

[@FordTransitVan23]

Newbie. Level 10 and so squishy. Working my way up. Addicted

[@lubu523]

Thanks bro I wasted hours not knowing about levels beyond 30. And horded stuff that was "good".

[@glens1975]

level 14 and I was getting 1 shotted by NPC's every time i ventured out because my playstyle was wrong. This guide helped me get to level 40 (almost there anyway). The attack drone and turret was the key and trying to keep 3 piece of Badger Tuff for armour on kill which gave me sustain and was easy with it being at the vendor last week. , i have actually kept both the drone and turret and am current in golan gear going from 20 to 40. High Armour, an LG for close and rifle for the long shots and am smashing ti. Thats for the advice!!!

[@MrShitfire]

I haven't played since 2019. I think i might download this again.

[@r3toric]

Great vid man. I learned a lot

[@sebkomo]

nicely done. You cover everything. I wish I had seen this when I started. 😄😄

[@TuxedoBandido]

Thank you! me too! So many new players, its time a new guide went up

[@Harvey2Tall]

Just came back to this gane yesterday. So far im really enjoying it

[@alexwetherill8755]

that remix is banging

[@delhotchkiss9632]

This is a great and easy to follow guide. Just updated my Xbox so have to start alll over again. I played it before there was DLCS

[@neilduncan584]

Just downloading Div2 as we speak so I'm going to watch this through before I start! Can't wait to start enjoying it

[@JAK_Manufacuring]

In trying to max all my stats on my guns and armor and im having fun so this game is an all time fav

[@Xxxquick33xxX]

I officially finally bought this and the new dlc for $17 on the Xbox store for the Series X. I played the demo or something years ago and have always wanted to keep playing it. Can't wait to play as long as I want now. Also, thanks for the tips! About to watch part 2!

[@AtomicDudMan]

“Tactical Advisor.” Fuck yes brother🇺🇸

[@OmarAlrabey-f7d]

One of the best guides, I’ve even watched. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Man makes me wanna play this game again. I bet it runs great on ps5

[@Loagz]

havent played since december of 2022 so i will for sure be watching this full thing

[@koo-hip9406]

Earned a sub. Videos are always informative AND fun with the editing. I can imagine that rubs off on your community too! Looking forward to part 2.

[@troy5370]

This video has nothing for returning players and explains nothing in detail nor any recent changes.

[@milegarc]

Agreed. This is exclusively for new players

[@apsintrapsin3073]

why?

[@apsintrapsin3073]

i dont understand bozo

[@hironakamura9258]

Don't be a troll, the video is excellent as a recap

I enjoyed this video and I'm a 5 time returning player looking for a different perspective

[@reyvander2120]

I just bought the game, thank you so much for this video 🙏🏼

[@splitsec6760]

Wow I am extremely impressed the quality and detail this guide is! Absolutely amazing! I’ve learnt and understand so much from this video. I am level 31 now and have tried a few times in DZ, level 19. I know I have to push the story line as my priority. Now that I understand everything in this video, what’s next? Once again! Thank you!

So im brand new to the game. Are you showing us how to start playing the game through starting ghe campaign? I dont even see a inventory when i start the campaign

[@TuxedoBandido]

Yes. All the way to end game in separate videos.

[@SteveDmoYT]

@TuxedoBandido thank you, just saw the two different things to choose. I didn't know if one was campaign and the other multiplayer or something. I found the inventory and stuff.

[@craigwilson2810]

This is making me want to return to the game but I don’t feel like many people play it any more also I have two characters at like SHD 500 or just under but pretty bored just playing solo all the time 😢 maybe I could start a hardcore character for fun

[@mrmagoo7524]

I left div 2 after was so bored, i went and played verdansk. My friedns loved DMZ as it had exfil like the dark zone. They are not adding to dmz anymore so we need something else. Ive downloaded it again....I loved div 1 and the best dlc ever, survival, also underground. Is it any better after 3 years of being away?

[@Toku91]

This is the question i was looking for...

[@Plutoquintana]

Hey! I just started playing the division 2, and i love it so far, just doing the story missions from the beginning. I just have a question, i have a pretty good computer, and the game is running real smooth, BUT from time to time i get this wierd stuttering, kind of feels like something is loading in if you know what i'm talking about. like it runes smooth, real smooth, and every once in a while i feel like i'm dropping from 150+ fps to 50 fps for like 10-15 seconds, then its back to normal. It's completely random, sometimes it happens when i'm just roaming around the world, sometime it happens indoors, sometimes outdoors, sometimes in combat, sometimes out of combat. Do you know what could be causing this? Or is it just how the game works?

[@Plutoquintana]

I have a fairly good computer, 64gb ram, rtx 3080, i7 12700k, SSD's etc. So i doubt its my computer that's "to bad for division 2". I've tried changeing settings ingame etc but this happens even on low settings. Please, anyone have any idea why i get these moments of stutters? I really want to enjoy the game, it's fun, but i just can't keep playing if this keeps up...

[@demise187]

that intro song is dope!

[@larsharsch9786]

Which automatic gun is better, the sniper or the normal one?

[@DCUnifanboy17]

I’m a returning player, has there been any update to allow button mapping in controller? I wasn’t a fan of the previous button layout in year 1

[@TheGrogin13]

New to the game and this was very helpful so thank you. My question is as a new player if I wanted to do things in order of the story, how would I go about doing that?

[@TuxedoBandido]

Go through the progression level 1-30 then go to nyc after you do the invaded missions in DC.

[@TheGrogin13]

And that will lay out the story for me?

[@xtrix.1]

@@TheGrogin13yeah

[@richardtravick5794]

I'll be soo happy when I can play the Warlords of New York expansion. But I need to finish this map 1st and I haven't unlocked the Mortar turret yet. Plus anybody know why I can't find the Sewer System icons on my map yet? The yellow arrows correct? I'm a few levels past 30 but not 40 yet world tier 3.

[@KINGARTH92]

Nice one TUX

[@willey3286]

I just started a week ago, hit lvl 30 and bought the WONY expansion. Went to NY and now im a bit confused. I am only getting greens and blues, no purples anymore. And all my ressources have been overwritten which are lower than before 😅 Do I get more than before so it compensates my loss? And all my SHD tech is gone aswell.

[@VIKING-_RAGE]

Sick intro

[@RAINLORDV2]

Does joining a higher lvl player level me fast

[@GW2Vids1]

I'm still highly confused, playe the game years ago hit lvl30, now returned and there are some main missions left which bring me to 40? Do I have to buy the DLC? What is it good for?

[@gilgamesh795]

Idk what it is but there seems to be a resurgence in Division 2 recently

[@gregc.5684]

Yeah, lots of new players!

[@TuxedoBandido]

yeah, tons!

[@iiFuture]

As someone who bought TD2 but never really played it this video really helped, especially with the big update happening.

[@CoBrA040]

should i be keeping low level purples with good perks/attributes to put into high ends later or can you not do that? i kept a bunch of things under level 40 just incase but it takes up a lot of room should i just get rid of everything under level 40? cause i assume you cant get things from level 30 and boost its level to 40

[@TuxedoBandido]

Yeah. Just dump everything below 30. The benches are separate and won’t let you level gear up to 40. Won’t be able to pull off. And any future new characters won’t make it past 30 with ability to share stash.

[@TuxedoBandido]

I meant below 40. Dump it.

[@jeremiahshapero2849]

Rad vid. Lv 30 and I’m just now starting to spend / unlock crafting table. But I always see ppl at the White House working on another table? Why can’t I do that?

[@TuxedoBandido]

The lobby opens up to higher level players that are likely working on expertise. You don’t wanna do that till level 40. Open recalibration bench yet? After Campus settlement should have unlocked when recruited employee staff from there.

[@TuxedoBandido]

Part two video coming out and will explain more.

[@MrB0Dangles]

I think you should talk about warlords and lvling, where you should start either dc or warlords what Carrie’s over etc as well!

[@willey3286]

​@@MrB0Dangles thats exactly where I was confused. Hit 30, bought expansion and went to NY. Now I am confused because a lot of stuff I farmed is missing 😅

[@grundged]

Just started playing new on PS5. As for my setup I prefer to use the M60 as my primary with a shotgun in my secondary. The M60 is great for killing super heavy guys. But mostly I use it for suppressing the AI so I can run behind and kill them with my shotgun. I use the turret and the reviver hive. The turret is great as a constant distraction and the hive is an absolute life saver when stuff goes sideways. Been having lots of fun. Surprised I see others playing new on PS5 as well. 😊
