Hi guys, here’s episode five for my beginner’s guide series, I’ll be giving a brief overview of the Dark Zone and what you can expect when you enter.
As always if you have any questions just let me know and I’ll answer it here and in my next episode.
Thank you!

Okay, okay, there are a plethora of videos on TD, but, this one was brilliantly done! I am looking forward to the one with recalibration and optimization. I am sure am doing it all wrong. 😂. To add, I’d welcome this same tone and approach to TD2 (if that was an option). Again, nicely done…

[@lividfray]

Thank you so much for your kind comment! I'm going to be going over that a bit in the next two episodes, I promise. It's really confusing trying to approach it for the first time. I would love to do The Division 2 videos eventually, we'll see how this guide series ends!

I’d mention that you can’t fast travel inside, even from a safe house to another safe house in the DZ. Fun fact: if you see players and you’re not geared up with a full 6 piece classified gear set and The House (TM), do not attempt PVP. There’s a hunter with a toxic name on my server who hunts and wipes squads. Just destroys squads. I was the rear guard (actually just a slow poke), and next thing I hear is the warning a nearby player has gone rogue; I expected the two randoms I had joined were about to kill me for my goods because it felt wrong. Nope. It was the guy with a toxic name who owns the server 😂 The guy is running a classified Striker build and deletes squads who aren’t max gear score. So I just avoid the guy. Because de-ranking noobs is what motivates the dude. BUT: for the most part people are pretty cool and leave solo low-rankers alone. It’s fun despite my server’s bullies 😂

Newbie here can you make a video on how to get classified gear sets. playing against Flash in the DZ is not that fun tho😅

[@lividfray]

I'm going to make guides in the future, but in the meantime the fastest way to get them is by farming the DZ (as you have been), farming open world bosses, and farming Resistance up to wave 10 and resetting. There's a few good guides out there for Resistance farming and it's by far the fastest way to do it for Classified gear. I'll make my own guide in the near future for that, but it is something that is already out there if you need it right away!

Good Job keep at it!

[@satridstream5968]

Great info. Can you tell me how to get the bullfrog?

[@lividfray]

Thank you! It's a random exotic drop. So your best bet is open world boss farming, boss drops from missions, completing main missions and obtaining it as a reward for completion, legendary missions, exotic or proficiency caches, or the Dark Zone. You can get it from pretty much any activity but it is pure luck.

[@satridstream5968]

@lividfray Thank you I will try these methods

[@yonagunivevo835]

if u got underground dlc, farm with 3 phases 5 directives, I got exotics and class sets there, or just play amhert's apartment, there’s a hunter there and u can get the mission done in 15 min with 4 striker piece

[@satridstream5968]

@yonagunivevo835 Thanks a lot!

Newbie here lvl15 what's your opinion on weapons or could you do a weapons guide. Top 3 weapons in each class to look for Your top weapon combo for solo I try to look things like this up and it's either division 2 or there might he a set then someone else says those sets arent relavent anymore.

[@lividfray]

Hey! Welcome! I’m going to be doing a weapons guide in episode 7, this next one I’m working on is all about gear. It’s taking some time for me to edit. I get where you’re coming from about searching stuff up, that’s why I’m doing these videos now cause it can be hard for new players to find good guides. For weapon combos I’d recommend a sniper or marksman weapon for long distance and whatever gun you like as your main choice, most prefer assault rifles since they’re really versatile. Lmk if you have more questions
