THE DIVISION: Complete Beginner & Endgame Guide (2024)

[@RogueGold]

I very much hope this guide helps out any of you who are brand new, or returning to The Division! Thanks so much for watching 🙌

[@wp2746]

An amazing journey to be had ❤

[@Treyker01]

Thanks for the @lividfray Shoutout. She definetly is my top pick for Div 1 Content and she is a great content creator. You guys are keeping this franchise alive and easy to get into by newcomers.

[@chriscope23]

As a day 1 beta player on DIV one this is a great video and made me want to go play it tonight

[@LividFray]

Rogueeeee 😭 I’m crying! Thank you soooo much for the shout out! I don’t watch your content regularly because I don’t play Div 2 much anymore but I still love your channel and have recommended your videos multiple times to other people. This means the world to me, thank you SO much ❤️

[@bartosz3837]

You deserved it!

[@RogueGold]

@lividfray You're more than welcome, I commend your dedication to TD1 infinitely! Thanks for keeping our favorite game going 🙌

[@H3xCore]

ikr, she more than deserves all the praise she gets.

[@Clyde44]

I wish I could play this again like it was the first time. What a game. Will be playing again this winter. I just can’t not play it with the cold weather. It’s so atmospheric. What a classic div 1 was and remains!

[@cindtrifical185]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHOUTING OUT LIVID!!! I've been following her for a while and she is extremely underrated!

[@RogueGold]

Incredibly deserved, she's got amazing dedication!

[@genericgoon5179]

I've been playing this more again lately. It's still as beautiful and fun as i remember years ago.

[@RogueGold]

Absolutely!

[@GR8Trollio]

Great that you shouted out @LividFray - I’m new to the game and her content really helped push me to do solo legendary missions, a feat I didn’t think I could pull off. She’s fantastic for fans of the game. A couple things I’d add: the only really “guaranteed” way to get Classified Gear pieces is to purchase the randomized classified crate in the Terminal, basically the subway tunnel underneath the B.O.O. It’s 2500 Phoenix credits, but those aren’t too hard to farm. It is frustrating trying to collect these pieces and have a matching set you actually want, without the Global Events. But Resistance (DLC) is another good option if you like horde modes of play (like CoD zombies). The odds of collecting a piece you need is much less than 1/100, probably closer to 1/1000 and that’s not exaggerating. Just be ready for the RNG headaches to halt your progress in the endgame

[@MatthiasPowerbomb]

Any new players watching this, I would tell you, 1 - The Division is absolutely worth diving into, it's so fun and so packed with awesome stuff to do and the story is an awesome experience that will stick with you; and 2 - the DLCs are absolutely worth the purchase. Underground is my favorite, but Survival is beloved by the entire Division community and still gets regular play, more so than any other part of the game as far as I know.

[@Cultono]

My current casual PvE build: 4 pieces of Final Measure and 2 pieces of FireCrest (7.3K Firearm, 5.8K stamina, and 2.9K Electronics). Running around with 5 fire bombs. 🔥

[@chromar8820]

never expected to see another Div1 video on your channel, but listening to it while playing Div2 made me really want to go back to it lmao thanks for the nostalgia hit & the amazing video!!

[@RogueGold]

After getting the requests to make this, I could resist- TD1 is just too good 😄 Thanks so much!

[@brandondavis8005]

I was about a year behind getting into Division since I didn't yet own a ps4, but was ready with my used disc once I upgraded. I've not been as devoted as I once was, however still make regular Survival runs to this day. Just yesterday I made the tough call to ice an agent's progress in order to start over. It's still one of the best immersive experiences I've enjoyed. I can't wait to return to Brooklyn where it all began and see where they take us next.

[@threedog27]

My life is a Simulation. I just started Division 1 after a 6 years pause and just found out livid and now you drop a video about Division 1. The same happened to me just a month ago to breakpoint

[@RogueGold]

Haha love it!

[@chrisrugen]

I can feel another Div1 re-play coming on. This is fantastic. When I first played Div1 (which I loved), I was stubbornly solo and totally unfamiliar with looter shooters. I was basically overwhelmed by the builds and MP content, and played it like an SP open world game. The endgame and so much of what I now love about Div2 was just a hazy cloud of “not for me” in Div1. I’m excited to go back to it with a fuller understanding, and this guide, to help me experience it more fully.

[@jomo9883]

I still have this installed on my ps5. Love this game

[@1rgam3r]

Remember before the “search dog” add-on and you were stuck searching for bags, echoes, phones and caches on your own? They didn’t even highlight initially until you got right next to them!

[@Treyker01]

THANKS, Just Thanks, as a newcomer to the game, this is what I needed, Rogue you are the best, keep it up Agent, we need more content like this.

[@RogueGold]

🙏 Thanks so much my friend! Super glad that it helped out!

[@_call_me_e]

Just started playing about 2 months ago, definitely gonna come back to this vid. Thx

[@RogueGold]

👊 Happy to help!

[@digitaldogs233]

I'm just about to get back on to div1, so this is certainly helpful for me. Good stuff Rogue gold 👍🏻

[@RogueGold]

👊 Love to hear it man!

[@billmann9947]

SUPER helpful. Turns out I've played way more Div2 than Div1 and switching back is a struggle, but the gameplay is still great. Feeling lost on the gear and levels - maybe it's time to start a new toon and just re-learn it all from scratch.

[@RogueGold]

Sometimes that linear path does help out, for sure. Glad this was helpful though!

[@darrelltay3712]

A point to make regarding the dark zone in Division 1. While most pvp happens near checkpoints like what Rogue said, DO NOT, and I cannot stress this enough, DO NOT, take it at face value. There are players who are roamers for pvp and will jump you the moment you run into them so keep your head on a tight swivel while you farm in the DZ. If you see a player with no nameplate coming towards you, chances are that they are running the concealment scanner pulse (the equivalent to the decoy in division 2) and are looking for a fight. So, book it the other way immediately. Also, during the extraction phase, wait till the timer hits 15 to 10 seconds before hooking your loot to maximize the chance of you getting it. Also, if you see anyone placing down a healer box during the extraction phase, that is usually the sign of them wanting to fight and/or cut the rope. All in all, in the DZ, be it in Division 1 or 2, always remember the golden rule: Trust no one. P.s. Rogue, if you want to, create a video on the strategy you use for resistance. Like where is the best place to go to on each resistance map to maximize the chance of survival, and what builds are best for the game mode for solo play and group-play.

[@TheNoodle6]

Nice shout out to Livid!! She does an amazing job, and it is awesome that she is helping to keep this game alive!!!

[@monkeytown1239]

i always like to come back to this game and play through the story mode. on a side note, you cant 'target' farm classified gear anymore since Ubisoft stopped the global event of division 1. might be important to some people.....i usually stopped my playthrough once i reached WT 5 and had 2-3 complete builds. now with that option gone, i can finally put the game down :) /e: oh, you did mention this :D i posted the comment before watching the video.

[@Tsujin_Cham_Shi]

Thank you @RougeGold! This video encouraged me to give this game another go! I tried playing this a couple of years ago and I felt so helpless playing solo.

[@RogueGold]

🙌 Happy to hear that! I hope you enjoy!

[@PS4Arabic]

Who was in 2016/2017. playing this game? Those were beautiful days, I met friends from different countries. Now they are just beautiful memories that never came back 🥰❤️‍🩹

[@RogueGold]

@RogueRonin-356 🙏🙏

[@Scout1942]

Glad this is out. My plan, since I was only able to get Div 1 about 8 months before div 2 came out, is that when I fully finish all the commendations/story stuff I'm gonna go back and grind out hopefully most of the Div 1 content before Div 3 comes out.

[@RogueGold]

You should have plenty of time 😄 Really hope you enjoy the journey!

[@BigOleHayden]

Same starting fresh on PC since playing beta on Xbox Div1&2 now PC starting over on both until Division 3 or something fresh by Ubi

[@marc13bautista]

15:50 lol Haven't played Division 1 for years and looked to see if it was still up in 2024. Nice guide. Wish Heartlands would be just as fun though.

[@ivanwill]

A nice productive guide. I need to create a new character and play this game again. Thanks for sharing…

[@RogueGold]

👊 Thanks for watching!

[@AVCI711]

İt is so good people still cares about first game. I hope we might see a new Global event schedule for the first game

[@RogueGold]

🤞 Hope so!

[@brotherYari]

Getting a classified gear set that you want is now impossible without the global events

[@RogueGold]

Harder, for sure, but not impossible!

[@Miles117-s1y]

She is great anytime I have a question about division one she always answer it she is a good streamer

[@PSN9695]

Are you going to make one for The Division 2? Debating getting back into the game but haven’t played since it came out.

[@RogueGold]

I am! I made one in '23 that was very well received, but am working on a revised one for the update next month, which is revamping the game's Seasonal structure. The one from last year is still ~80% relevant though, I'd say, so if you're curious in checking it out 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3PJg5erpt2Lb8ksi=pK5E57nArkI9V9yd

[@same-asit-ever-was]

Gone back to The Division. 1 Out of wanting to and 2. The final straw was a Bug that kept crashing The Division 2 (PS5) had 16 builds and everytime i wanted to use the 16th my game crashed and crashed, so cleaned the disc deleted the game and reinstalled it (problem is it won't install the 44 gig part and keeps erroring out) 2 days now and it won't install. So installed The Division and it works perfectly now back enjoying that game (with my original Char and starting a new one.)

[@mattiusthalius]

Ive recently gone back to Div1. I love Div2, but IMHO Div1 is a better game. I love see people going back to it!!

[@jonathonpion2042]

As an aside keep an eye on vendors for gear items. Specifically mags, attachements, and optics. Don't have set values like we do for the Division 2. Crafting is kind of a waste, save those to convert to high end later to use for upping gear/weapon stats.

[@RogueGold]

Great tip!

[@boncataadrian964]

Hey rouge! I am a returning player in the division 1, I haven't played since I've finished the story. Can you give me some tips When coming back to the game? Keep up the good work bro!

[@RogueGold]

Hey! Welcome back! I'm not sure I have any further tips to give then what I lay out in this video 😄 Skip to the Endgame sections to see some of the best content to run!

[@elmersalonga6424]

Ok Im not big on "on-line pvp stuff" which is better for Solo Campaign/Play PVE The Division 1 or 2?

[@RogueGold]

Both games have roughly the same quantity of solo/campaign/PVE offerings, but many agree that Division 2 offers a more refined and robust PVE experience 👍

[@theawesomepie1266]

Bro getting a division 1 guide in 2024 is crazy work. Still a great game tho ngl

[@Bartholodaea]

Finally, a recent video-something I had been asking for since forever, thank you so fucking much

[@Bartholodaea]

A recent video regarding the first Division, I meant to say-

[@PoligenaMariano]

I really loved your video but i would like to know what gun you were using like at 7:16.

[@yiazmatoccuria8148]

Nice video! D1 is my favorite shooter! I do have a question: I am not sure I am playing resistence correctly, or at least, not as the meta players play. I say this cause 70% of the times I get kicked from group and I honestly dont know why. I usually just do the usual rotation, stay in a spot killing the mobs with the gang and move only to restock or upgrade the field tools while saving for the classified gear chest. Isnt this whats supposed to be done? My experience was so bad I gave up on the mode but I really want that last classified strikers glove, and with no GEs, it kinda sucks that I am missing on the best content to get it. Thanks for reading and hopefully someone can clarify this for me.

[@RogueGold]

Hmm... well I'm sorry to hear groups are still kicking people these days- that's never fun. To be completely honest I'm not sure why that'd be happening, I suppose I'm not caught up enough on Resistance etiquette to make a guess. My best advice would be to just follow the lead of the group, move around the map with them and let them spend all the tokens. Seems boring- but maybe you can notice a pattern and see how other's play

[@yiazmatoccuria8148]

@@RogueGold Yeah, I will give that a shot. The mode is really fun IMO. Thanks for the reply Rogue.

Man Div 1 was amazing, I remember being able to twink out the lower dark zone bracket by joining higher end level players raids and letting them kill the boss which didn’t give us experience but we got the loot…low level epics and legendaries

Will the global events return to this game? I hope to respond to those who know something about it ?

[@RogueGold]

They have yet to confirm whether or not Global Events will return

[@ahmedalqaisi4464]

@@RogueGold They will lose a lot because of this delay for global events because there are very many players who started the game and want to play and try these events and get collections from them. I don't know the real reason behind all this procrastination from Ubisoft to cancel the events or decide not to return them to the game is just events that make old and new players happy nothing more

[@GeardoGaming]

HVTs are better for GEs, in addition to usual rewards you get GE points and the weekly can be done twice in one GE DZ is bad especially compared to Div 2 since the hackers / cheaters easily get by due to no devs working against them, you need special rules to get by in it would deserve its own video

Playing this game in its prime was a gaming experience unlike any other. The division 2 was a major disappointment.

[@Hanakooh]

Someone has alrd beaten you to the punch years ago, specifically MarcoStyle. However TBH...... now that he has distanced himself from Division and basically has denounced everything that is wrong about the Division franchise, I am not really sure if his words hold any weight anymore. Going forward, this video would be a good recommendation I would give to anyone new to the game. And imagine the future when Division 3 is released, AND the Divison movie is premiered. Many players will flock to the Divsion franchise curious about what is this series all about. Your video will be at the forefront on guiding the new audience on the game that started it all.

[@yoplio752]

Guides for the most part you can still use to this day but people will be unsure of his guides because they are so long ago so it’s better to watch a video that covers overall everything than to look through Marco’s videos.
