The Division 2 - March 2019

Really not a fan of the White House layout - too many corridors/rooms that don't go anywhere and the mini map is useless in terms of finding stuff!

Any idea where the best place to pick this up is? I guess you can buy the standard edition and then grab the dlc pass at a later date separate?

It's about £38.99 on CDkeys or £49.99 on Ubisofts store but you can use 100 uPoints for 20% off. So basically it's all around £40

I tried the chem launcher that all of reddit raves on about for healing but I feel its nowhere near as good as the drone, you have to aim the launcher and it doesnt heal as much, in the heat of an emergency just launching the drone without aiming is much easier. Plus it sticks around a while as well.

I unlocked the chem launcher last night - when you say you have to aim it, do you mean for other to benefit or just yourself? If it's solely for you, you can just double press the activation button and it deploys at your location!

Not sure about the effectiveness compared to the drone tho!

You can double-tap the assigned button (Mine's Q) and it gets placed on the ground. I agree the aiming part is a bit naff, as a few times i've done it, the player stands up to shoot it in the ground, which is obviously a stupid thing to do when hiding behind cover from bullets.

I'm yet to try out the healing drone, i've tried out the hive and chem launcher. From my experience the hive heals longer over time but much slower, whereas the chem launcher is an instant heal but only so much. Although you do have more frequent shots with the chem launcher.

Cheapest way is to buy the rewards account off someone that got it free with graphics card.

I think it's going for as little as £15.

I paid £50 for the account with all 3 games Devision,resident evil 2, devil may cry.

There are quite a few codes from the AMD games promotion that have finally come in, so if you dont mind that then they can be had for 25-35. Have a look on the usual sources. I got mine Monday for 30, which I'm ok with

chroniclard · 20 Mar 2019 at 14:12

Yeah grab a key off the MM. Got one for £15(or £20, cant remember).

Kronos · 20 Mar 2019 at 14:12

Found a Hyenas key and i knew there was a box in The Jefferson Trade Center but finding my way back was a nightmare given the buildings are not marked on the map?

Edit: My mistake it was not the Jefferson as I am just doing that mission, so wherever it was it took some finding again.

mark43 · 20 Mar 2019 at 14:20

With regards to skills, will there be a way to reset and change these, or are you stuck with what you pick? I'm still fairly early on in the game and just picked the first couple based on what sounded fun. Didn't give it much thought and wondering if I'll be able to make changes later?

Theres a map on the net which shows the location of every key and every box. I don't use it myself because it will massively spoil things for me, I imagine a lot of people use it to just run around and grab all the keys and open all the boxes asap though.

Game just needs the ability to place markers on the map and then I can mark things as and when I find them so that my exploration fun isn't spoiled by an online map.

If its anything like TD1 you will eventually end up with all of them anyway and can just select whichever you want at any given time

Is MM invite only, or based on post count (or Door 3 am I just blind)

Musty Pie · 20 Mar 2019 at 14:36

Need to hit the requirements think its a time period and minimum post count now?

At least minimum posts of 1000.

There are other ways of getting those keys though - ebay and similar.

jonathan_phang · 20 Mar 2019 at 14:44

Just interested is all as Ive seen it mentioned a few time. I got mine off Gumtree personally. Well worth the money in the 6 or so hours Ive spent with it already. Now I just need to grind a bit to catchup with my mates who are about 15 levels ahead of me

Kronos · 20 Mar 2019 at 14:58

Picked up the M60 and what a weapon that is.

JJimmyJ · 20 Mar 2019 at 15:02

Gah!!! So annoyed. On the last part of one mission, it kicked me out and loaded me back at a safe house. Decided to clear out a control point, cleared it and with just the boss to go (at protect stage) had a crash!! Waste of 2 hours

chrcoluk · 20 Mar 2019 at 15:07

thanks didnt know the double tap trick. That makes not so bad then.

it does mention these controls where it shows you the damage/healing etc of the skill

also for things like the chem launcher if you do want to fire it somewhere, so not at your feet.. you can just press your skill key and it will fire wherever your cursor is.
its not as accurate as aiming it ofcourse but good for when you cant afford to stand up from cover
