The Division 2 - March 2019
- Thread starter Gregster
- Start date
I finally finished the campaign this evening and moved to WT1, playing solo and I'm getting my ass handed to me, enemies are bullet sponges and the fun seems to have left the game, is there any way I can go back to the normal game to gear up?
Well I kind of feel the good point to be end game is stopping when strongholds left, you have a city all under control. Its before the grind fest.
But anyway the snitch bounties seem super hard, especially as if you die they go poof.
So I died on yet another one, as usual they spawn in little tight places where when you find them suddenly they on top of you, after waiting 40 mins someone joined my session, then after another hour they managed to revive me as the enemies wouldnt move from my spot, 3 of them were trying but they all kept dieing (somehow they kept auto reviving even when all dead), 2 of them gave up but one guy stayed around, after another 30 mins or so we got it down to us and the last bounty boss, and he kited the boss whilst I LMG'd from the back, I used 700 LMG bullets to finish him off. By far the toughest fight I seen in the game. This bounty was also rated as normal not hard or challenging. However it was way harder than the other bounties that you can just select from the map.

New agent?
I made a couple more as I found out they can used as storage capacity. (stared stash).
You can reactivate bounties if you fail them, top left of map screen there is a number of buttons, projects, bounties etc, you can select any bounty you have but havent completed then activate it again, always on a 15 min timer tho.
Not having fun now this is getting silly.
On second stronghold mission.
Iam probably 2 hours into it so dont want to really logout as I will have to start it again.
On the bit where you have to destroy the 2 fuel tanks, it takes about 30-40 mins to get to the point you blow the second one up and a elite comes out with an axe. Supposedly if you shoot his legs he is crippled, but this part of the mission is cheap as hell.
Multiple cheap things happen.
1 - Is no restocking crate.
2 - Enemies starting positions surround you.
3 - Can get round that but when you destroy them using a lot of ammo, and move forward they suddenly all respawn like magic. So need to be killed twice.
4 - The fuel tanks have a ton of hit points so destroying using pistol takes forever.
5 - After second fuel tank destroyed, the elite comes, on his own would be tough but have to deal with new wave of enemies at same time, if concentrate on the elite get gunned down, if concentrate on the shooters, the elite kills you. If I shoot the elite's legs it seems to have no effect, or at least not an effect quick enough before I die, 2 swings and i am dead. Also I ran away from where the elite appears to make distance, and then discovered the enemies dont all spawn from there and is some deliberate spawns round all edges of area to make you attacked from 3 sides again from the moment he appears.
6 - Dieing means another 40+ mins to get to that point again.
Funny enough I managed to do it now. One stronghold left.

Nope not the snitch bounties, dude on reddit thought same but then he realised you cannot do it for snitch bounties.

Once in game on the map. Press ESC key. Far right side press Progression. Then top right you should have the 5 buttons between the Q and E Key. The circle like button that is Orange in the screenshot takes you to the weekly tasks. You have to accept which tasks you want to do. think I Played 20 hours before noticing this page.
Thanks mate.
I honestly didnt find it that hard, have done it a few times now even on challenging
as for the big guy with the axe near the end all you have to do is jump back on that minigun and take him down with that
use cover wisely and take out any flankers and you should be all good
"4 - The fuel tanks have a ton of hit points so destroying using pistol takes forever."
lol guess not
The waves aren't endless in that section either, can kill the fuel tanks uninterupted
He approaches way too fast to do that, runs at you and climbs on your platform, so maybe there is luck involved in how quick he approaches. Also the problem is if you dont take out the new guy on the other minigun quickly he will gun you down alongside all the others as you out in the open on that minigun a open target.
Did make me lol, why you would want to do the strongholds solo beats me, it's so much quicker in a group.
There was only one mounted gun I could access, on my last attempt I used that to destroy the first tank, didnt think of using it on all the other attempts. I dont know where another mini gun is I can use, the one on the boat isnt accessible until both tanks are destroyed.
I feel its clearly designed for a group, so you not wrong there, I just prefer playing games by myself tho. The first stronghold was fine tho. Way less flanking abuse, no OP'd flame grenades and less aggressive elites.
By the way does anyone have an answer to this.
When someone backed me up the other day, I noticed two things.
When they all died they were reviving with no one to revive them, also they could recover armour with what seemed like a quick animation, my armour pack's take almost 3 seconds to use, they had a charge time of about 1 second.
