Here are 11 quick tips on how to make good use of your time in The Division 2 at World Tier 4.
Who are these tips for? Many agents have been in the endgame at World Tier 4 for days now. Some of them have already reached the max gear score and are complaining about having nothing left to do.
Right now, it is not worth the effort to grind for the best items to optimize your build. The reason: Massive will only unlock World Tier 5 in the near future, making all current items at World Tier 4 obsolete, and the grind for the best gear will begin again.
So, the real endgame of The Division 2 starts at World Tier 5, where the hard grind is worth it in the long run. Already in the MeinMMO comments, some agents have written that they are now going to play another game. Spending too much time at World Tier 4 is a waste of time.
However, you can actually already do meaningful things at World Tier 4 that will benefit you at World Tier 5. Here are 11 quick tips.
Increase the gear score beyond 450
Here’s the tip: The official max gear score at World Tier 4 is 450, but there are ways to push this much higher.
Go to the recalibration station in the White House, which you unlock during the campaign via the Campus settlement.
This allows you to transfer stat bonuses and talents from one item to another. If you have an item with 450 gear score that has a low critical hit chance, you can enhance that stat bonus with another item and get the gear score closer to 470!
This way, you start at World Tier 5 fully equipped.
Play Control Points for Blueprints
Here’s the tip: Even during the campaign, you earn blueprints by completing activities or projects. In the endgame, you can also earn many blueprints that you can use for crafting weapons, armor pieces, or mods.
Control points are a good source for blueprints in the endgame. First, raise the alert level of the control point to 3, which you can do by completing activities around the control point (marked by red lines on the map). Then, you need to capture it as usual, which can be challenging due to the difficulty level.
In addition to standard loot, you can also get random blueprints this way. According to user reports, these are quite good.
While farming gear at World Tier 4 is useless for World Tier 5, blueprints are already worthwhile now. Because these scale with your agent’s gear score.
Bonus tip: To craft high-quality blueprints, you first need to upgrade the crafting station multiple times, which costs quite a lot of materials. You can do this now so that when World Tier 5 arrives, you only need the workbench upgrade for World Tier 5.
Get Exotics
Here’s the tip: You can use your time at World Tier 4 to fill your exotic collection and test the unique firearms. Here are a few guides:
Since you receive exotic blueprints from the weapons, you can probably craft these weapons at World Tier 5 with rewarding gear score.
Collect the Hunter Masks
Here’s the tip: 12 Hunter masks can be earned in The Division 2, which are highly coveted among agents.
You can find out how to get them in this guide:
Play Bounty Missions for Credits and Specializations
Here’s the tip: In the operations base next to the projects, there is an NPC for bounty missions – as long as you have unlocked him during the campaign.
Through these bounty missions, you not only quickly earn credits but also points for specializations (via Black Tusk bounties).
This way, you can complete all three specializations.
Reach at least Dark Zone Level 10 – or 40!
Here’s the tip: To quickly get bonus loot at World Tier 5, you can already crawl to Dark Zone Level 10. This way, you will receive a daily reward.
At Dark Zone Level 40, there are even more rewards by activating the Dark Zone benefits in the White House.
No one will complain about free loot at World Tier 5.
You can read all the info about these rewards and Dark Zone levels here.
Search for Collectibles
Here’s the tip: This tip is primarily aimed at players who like to achieve “100%” in a game and dive deep into the lore. In The Division 2, you can find various collectibles that are not only for collecting but also tell stories.
There are collectibles as follows:
- Media
- Radio transmissions
- Artifacts
- ECHOES
- Database entries
Here is a map where you can find a lot of stuff in The Division 2.
In addition, you can also unlock commendations.
Play Weekly Club Challenges
Here’s the tip: Ubisoft Club players have the option to play weekly challenges. However, you must activate them first.
Go to the menu, select “Progress”, and switch to the “Club Challenges” tab. You have a week to complete multiple tasks, some of which can be tackled alongside other activities. This way, you can earn bonus credits. Don’t forget to activate them.
Bonus Tip: If you want more challenges, you should gather in clans. This way, you get specific bounties, access to a special vendor, and a weekly clan cache. Additionally, being in a clan prepares you better for the challenges of World Tier 5 than playing solo.
Unlock all skill variants
Here’s the tip: Use your SHD Tech to unlock all skills with all variants. Who knows how powerful some of them will be in the future.
To do this, collect the SHD tech containers shown on the map when you discover safehouses and operate the laptop inside.
By the way, there are SHD tech containers that do not appear on the map. In the White House region, you can find these four:
Clear out your inventory
Here’s the tip: If your inventory and storage are overflowing with weapons, armor pieces, and mods, you should clean up before World Tier 5 starts. Because then you will need new items.
If you don’t want to part with your stuff, you can create additional characters and transfer the items to their inventory via the storage. If you unlock corresponding bonuses for those characters as well, they can store more items in their inventory.
PvP always offers variety
Here’s the tip: In PvP, you can spend your time and have fun, even without hunting for the best items. You can quickly start the Conflict mode via the map by changing the tab to “Conflict” on the left.
In PvP, you can climb the ranks and compete with other agents. Since the player experience in PvP is never exactly the same as before, The Division 2 offers you additional variety with Conflict.
With these tips, you should rock PvP:
