The Division 2 Expertise Guide to Level Fast for Beginner's & Returning Players (2024)

[@wusswuzz5818]

This is what you called a production. Nicely done. Shout out to Mr. Meheco.

[@ODDjs]

I'm a watch 427 and expertise 10. I definitely got a head start with the Countdown

[@WalkingwithDidi]

Thanks Bandido. Such a complete, thorough and well thought out guide. Much appreciated!

[@raygotz1069]

Had no idea you have to get proficient into ALL weapons to raise your cap, this now seems way more daunting. Thank you for a detailed video

[@TuxedoBandido]

and all gear, and all exotics, and all skills, and all specialization weapons. crazy

[@MrTehru]

Finally, the video I’ve been waiting for and looking for. New player watch level 220. I’m not a gear moron and I’m not a numbers dumb shit. I started playing World of Warcraft when it came out so I understand the concept but over the years shit has gotten super confusing, or let’s just say more complicated. And everybody has their own way of doing it. I have watched every video about expertise, tinkering, proficiency, crafting. And this video is the only one that did not skip any steps. All the other videos tend to miss a step or two or gloss over something because they’ve been doing it for five years even though they’re creating a video for someone that needs to understand the concept.you did not do that. You started from the beginning hit all the main points and then showed us exactly how to do each process and actually did them on the screen. Anyway, thank you now I understand and yes, even after all this time I was doing it pretty much incorrectly, but at least I was moving forward. Now I can move forward faster and easier. Outstanding.

[@TuxedoBandido]

thanks for the nice review. More importantly, i am glad it helped

[@ferrenberg]

Please don't sleep on the CMMG Banshee. The only SMG better than it is the ouroboros. Expertise the hell out of it

[@grumpyoldman6503]

Banshee is pretty great.

[@mezmauler]

💯- a very fast, smooth, accurate, enjoyable smg…love The Grudge too for team play perks w status & survivalist for cherry on top 🙌🏼

[@ferrenberg]

@@mezmauler it quickly became one of my favorite weapons to the point it's the only SMG I keep apart from exotics. A life saver too, and a better stack machine than the lefty or rock and roll

[@mezmauler]

@@ferrenberg i relate, I wouldn’t argue that at all and it’s interesting because the grudge was something that I just threw on a build randomly that had status on it and played for a while and then realized “wow this is an iincredible slept on SMG”

[@ferrenberg]

@@mezmauler I never used the grudge because of the talent, too situational for my liking, I will keep one once I find another. Currently I'm using Banshee with strained and loving it

[@armanisGT]

Great video like allways 👏👏👏👏💪thanks bro 🎉

[@the-jar]

I find myself running out of SHD calibration more than exotic components just because I use so many SHD calibration when I’m optimising new builds. You realistically shouldn’t be max expertising most things in this game, only guns and skills you use very often, or your dark zone build/s if you want an edge in there. Anything else it simply isn’t worth the investment

[@DJC-YTVideos]

THIS. I get stuck running out of SHD resources more than anything.

[@vipneo2755]

I rly have to say, Tito is one of the best "addons" to videos. Great one ^^

[@TuxedoBandido]

Glad you think so!

[@Shamnolya]

Perfect video, thank you. Since my watch is only 19 now i know i'm not in a hurry

[@coqzilla3811]

If youre a casual player, theres pretty much only three weapons worth maxing out Expertise on. Your choice of red core AR (yeah its St. Elmo), Capacitor and Scorpio. Everything else is just vanity.

[@derekofbaltimore]

Unless you dont use/like assault rifles...

[@RobPento]

I totally agree the ROI after 12 is questionable. That said, my drone and turret are level 25.

[@spinawebs2717]

The hardest thing was the skills the one we dont use often and some named items. The field recon data. Craft as often as you can. Even 10-20 at a time. Any build you have that is a main weapon only kind. Equipped named weapons as secondary until proficient.

[@bikerboy3k]

You alright dude I'm gonna go back to shooting stuff with my lmg cuz I have no idea what you just said here

[@prpunk787]

good to learn because i have been deconstructing named items, I did not know that you could donate them to increase proficiency....

[@AlfaStation1]

The expertise system screwed us over twice: First i got rid of all my double and triple exotic weapons, even god-rolled ones. No point in maxing out 2 of the same, right? Then we got to re-roll the second weapon attribute on exotics... Wtf!! So now go farm more exotic weapons, re-roll them, and re-level them... Or should i just risk re-rolling the maxed out god-rolled ones i have?

[@danielragan6077]

I am putting all my expertise into my Eagle Bearer. It's my favorite AR in the game.

[@SaltyOldBaldurian]

#Rifles2Aces -- Pony up the goods to hit expertise 25 faster!

[@Punisher_the_bot]

It’s very confusing but this video makes sense and finally helps. Why do they add more expertise like from 24 to 25 or 26? What are they trying to accomplish with that?

[@TuxedoBandido]

im wondering if we will actually see level 30. That's a lot of extra damage and we're getting close.

[@Kiddingyoumust]

I watched this and the section "Worth It" left me to conclude Expertise is a fantastic waste of time.

[@inkr329]

It’s a sham, and the more loot they add, the more the loot pool gets diluted. Have to keep players chasing the carrot

[@kekw103ouioui4]

One thing that he don't discuss is expertise in pvp. Expertise in pvp DOES a BIG difference. Not a waste of time at all if you plan to stand your ground competitively in the dark zone or any pvp content really.

[@HeinoHD007]

Thank Tux

[@UloxLv]

In the game I like to help the newer ones, which is why I am a shepherd level 42, unfortunately the guys who have low XP, now what they do is set their world to heroic with all the directives active, and then they pass it on in cover, doing all his work, for you to make a video about it since regularly when transporting you to his aid, most of us, including myself sometimes, abandon immediately. I'm not complaining, because I also earn points, (more takes a lot of time) but I think it's not a good, fair way to level up and in the end they don't even give you the recognition, they just wait for the next call and that's how they pass it on.

[@Thoughtful8]

Bro i think i play with you i know your voice. I remember you were telling me about how i can increase my damage and look at the numbers in damage i was putting out.

[@my0866]

Expertise was added during the long content draught , so the Devs could throw the players something pointless to chase. Pointless because each season the NPCs are buffed so in actual effect you are gaining nothing, apart from in PVP. All proficiency has done to PVP is just split and put off players from going into the DZs.

[@jasong1572]

Bro i just got into D2 last year im a late starter i hit 1000 llike 2 weeks ago my level is only 5 almost 6 😢 i dont understand every single mechanic but i am learning

[@homergomer8224]

hey duh, your bandido blocks the screen where it shows what resources are needed, iotw viewer can't really see what you're talking about. they can see your bandido if anyone cares.

[@michaelwilliams5376]

What build are you playing with on this video?

[@TuxedoBandido]

i think its the Huntersfury build for Reanimated.

[@michaelwilliams5376]

Thank you for responding!! #TeamTuxedoBandido

[@CorporalDeath67]

So I might be missing something to this. I'm grade 3, rnak 10 on most of my stuff. I have enough mats, but it still says I can't upgrade to not enough expertise level. Anyone know what I am missing?

[@shawnglover2829]

Why do all my expertise levels stop at level 5

[@AZ-dj1ni]

Because your expertise level is 5

[@SirLee07]

​@@AZ-dj1ni😂😂

[@shawnglover2829]

@@AZ-dj1ni so how do I get past that level

[@dw4897]

​​@@shawnglover2829 by making more items proficient. More things proficient the higher your expertise level will be. Edit 2:20

[@RobPento]

Your expertise only increases by how many items you are proficient with. So, you need to be proficient with more items. Either use items you don't use, or donate materials to those items. So, things like Oh Carol (the Christmas sniper rifle) that you likely never use, you need to be fully proficient (level-10 proficiency).

[@rregen8198]

Gotta love little Tito

[@clubbeatdown8996]

what build is that? with the awesome green death puffs?

[@Weird_guy79]

With matchmaking being near on dead beginners and returning players are screwed.

[@derekofbaltimore]

The healing drone gets duration from expertise. Its continous repair while its out so why not max its duration

[@arriner6028]

Because u will die before it expires anyway 😉

[@MrBenjaminButton]

Real rare resources ? What you talking about, exotics are easy to come by these days they are in weekly projects (3 components), weekly shd (1 component), weekly summit (1 component), etc Expertise 14 is the easy one as only two exotics (13 &14) and they are easy to get these days with the projects.

[@TuxedoBandido]

rare because of demand vs the rate of accumulation. Rerolling exotics is an unknown quantity, expertise requiring 42 per.

[@MrBenjaminButton]

@@TuxedoBandido So with doing 4 characters you can see they are not really "Rare" as you would state, Maybe a Grind to get however just the term Rare.

[@stormtrooprdave]

Why doesn't 20% extra damage mean 20% less time to kill instead of 1 frame difference?

[@TuxedoBandido]

once you achieved effective time to kill (relevant to content difficulty/armor HP), you get a serious diminished return on damage. Also, the diminished return on how damage stacks in many cases. (additive, multiplicative)

[@christophercraig9611]

But the "Donante all junk" button doesn't work for me 😭

[@zaulon5836]

Hi what build are u using in your video ?

[@4IR_Z3D]

Ok TUX, I get it, for the weapon damage, but for the armor, 150% aren't worth it ?

[@TuxedoBandido]

if your rich in resources and don't run a lot of different build, yes indeed. Im actually gunna showcase the idea soon.

[@BeFreeBeHappyJC]

I am wondering the best way to get yaahl gear in division 2 in 2024

[@AlfaStation1]

I buy a bunch of Yaahl pieces when vendors have them for sale. Crush them. And use the Yaahl points to craft the pieces i need. It's tedious and forget about ever crafting godrolled items. Good luck!

[@DJC-YTVideos]

Yeah, they'll pop up every once in a while with a main vendor. Just go HAM when you see one. I have a ton of Yaahl and never touched the dark zone or a DZ vendor.

[@DR_DINGLENUT]

Tito in the way

[@miccullen]

Get yer head out of the way, Tito!

[@TuxedoBandido]

ugh, i know. Sorry about that

[@miccullen]

@@TuxedoBandido It's easy enough to follow along with anyway, it just amused me that he didn't take a walk over to the left bottom corner or something 🙂
