Tom Clancy's The Division 2 March 15th, 2019 PC, XBOX ONE, PS4

Cleaners are da worst. I gotta either craft a HE extended clip and Liberator or farm for them in da DZ. That vector was knockin' mobs down with one hit after I crafted and applied mods. I'm using mod bonuses from da Lone Star gear set since I have about 3 pieces from it and a teal backpack from another gear set. This shit get hella fun after ranking up. I was gettin' mobbed on by big groups of level 25 & 30 npc's during HVT missions I played and was murkin' 'em in 2-3 shots. I need to do those incursions but no one is ever on to help.
Sometimes it's better to go with randoms when doing an incursion. My first time beating it was with randoms.
 
Exactly how does smart cover work? I've never used it other than playing with Artist Monk and even then didn't have a clue. I watched a video about the advantages in decreased damage takend and dealing more damage. Also do you have to fire bullets at the cover first to make it more effective?
 
It just gives you a perk while in cover such as critical hit damage or damage resistance bonus. Stiff you wouldn't normally have while in cover and it expands it to an area.

No you don't have to fire bullets at it.

Basically, Smart Cover 'fortifies' any area where it is deployed for a certain amount of time.

So if you are ducking behind it, or just in the vicinity of its radius... you take significantly less damage... while increasing the amount of damage you do to enemies.

It's great for surviving prolonged firefights That require you to stay behind cover, or an ambush that occurs in a 'bottleneck' doorway, where there's not much room to spread out without becoming a target.

If you sell an item by mistake, the vendor that you sell it to should have the item in their menu so you can buy it back. :smh: Other RPG's will let you buy back a sold items.

I think there's one specific vendor where you can buy back all items you sell, no matter where you sold them. :dunno:

Try the vendor on the 1st floor in the main base (@ 34th street post office). I think it's the guy who sells all the plans to upgrade your gear & weapons, or it might be the 'special vendor' way in the back on the 1st floor, where you 'redeem' stuff you bought (in-game) at the Ubisoft store.

Not 100% sure of the exact vendor, or where he is.... but I do remember watching a Division 'tips & tricks' video awhile back that briefly mentioned this info.

(When you walk into the main base, either walk straight ahead all the way to the back of the building, or hang a quick left turn before you go through the first set of doors that take you to the 3 different tech, medical & security 'wings' of the building and he should be on the right side of the room, directly across from the 3 vendors who sell gear & weapons. Try both of those 2 vendors, on the first floor. If I remember correctly, The vendor on the left side requires certain base 'upgrades' to unlock, but the other vendor who is 'straight ahead' is always available.)

I just never did it myself, so I can't say it works for certain. :dunno:

Good luck.

If I find that 'tips & tricks' video again on YouTube, I'll post it here. :yes:

There's a way to do it... But I don't remember offhand. (It might even be the 'dark zone' vendors who can re-sell you any items that you sold elsewhere. :dunno: Not 100% sure tho.)

The Division Lone Star Gear Set Review


The Division Predator's Mark Gear Set Review
 
The Division is taking the gloves off, issuing permanent ban after first offense

In an announcement issued today on the official website, the team behind multiplayer online shooter Tom Clancy's The Division admitted that their initial steps to curb cheating in-game were not effective. Starting immediately, first-time offenders will receive permanent bans from the game.

Last month, during episode 10 of the game's official podcast, technical director Anders Holmquist shed some light on how The Division's server architecture allowed cheating to happen in the first place. The root of the issue is in how the game itself is designed, and what attributes are tracked on the server side and what attributes are tracked on the client side.

The most common form of cheating, Holmquist explained, is when players alter their platform — their client — to do things that they shouldn't be able to do. The Division's servers are able to detect most illegal changes made to the client, but he admitted that they aren't able to catch them all.

"The biggest problem we had was that there were certain features that were introduced that didn’t have the proper server validation," he said. "That was a big problem that we had, especially during beta. … So we fixed them. Almost all of them are fixed."

When you play The Division the rate at which your weapon fires is controlled by your client, Holmquist explained. In the most common form of cheating, players use various methods to alter their rate of fire. While hit detection is managed on the server side, it can be overwhelmed. In this way players are able to fire faster, and hit more often, than they should otherwise be able to.

"There are a couple of things that are harder to completely block from the server," Holmquist said, "and in those cases we added cheat detection."

Holmquist and his team set up various methods to track these imbalances. Today's post claims that, as a result of that tracking, The Division team has issued more than 30,000 suspensions and 3,800 permanent bans.

But it hasn't been enough.

"Judging from your feedback," today's post states, "and based on what we witnessed when cheaters came back to the game, we have now decided to push our policy one step further. We will now start applying permanent bans on first offense when players are caught using cheat engines and we will communicate clearly when new ban waves are taking place."

The announcement comes after similar steps were taken for another Ubisoft title, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege.

While the most recent free update added a new raid and much needed solo content to the game, it does not appear to have stemmed the tide of players abandoning the game on PC. Steam Charts, which uses publicly available data provided by Valve to track player populations over time, seems to indicate a mass exodus from The Division. Player numbers were down 59 percent in April, 63 percent in May and have fallen another 13 percent so far this month.

Peak players in June are only slightly more than 16,000, down from a high in March of nearly 114,000.

"We are committed to constantly improve your experience in the game," The Division's website stated. "This begins with ensuring a positive and fair environment free of noxious players willingly violating the rules. We will take all steps necessary to track down cheaters and make sure they cannot spoil your enjoyment of the game."

Is anyone having issues starting da Cloud Sky Incursion??? I've only ever been able to get in once and none ever since. Also I need to know how to get my gear score up. I'm at 208 using mostly pieces from da Lone Star set. 3 exact w/mods. Using a couple from Sentry's Call too. All my gear is teal and I'm using HE weapons. I still haven't had a group to clear Falcon Lost yet. :hmm:

It's a bug, go out and start over.
I go to DZ with the purpose to cut ropes and get loot. I don't have time to shoot sponge boss, let them cats do all the work for them treats and
BOOM I'm cutting yo shit
 
What's your score at now. I played with you about two weeks ago getting you through the falcon lost incursion for the first time.
212 I got a bunch of gear sets and I'm mixing and matching to find out what's best. I have all of the Lone Survivor sets so I can take advantage of holster reload, but I need higher toughness so I can complete Clear Sky
