Hi, I'm iKia,
and i trying my hand at making some division 2 videos, as i have been playing this game for a very long time at this point and know my way around it, so i am hoping to share my knowledge and maybe pick up a little knowledge about making videos for myself along the way.
i am also a maker of several tools and sources for builds and calculating dmg, and all my links can be found over in a steam guide i made long ago over at : steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917143334
also recently i have started streaming over at : www.twitch.tv/ikia87

How To Envy - In-Depth Look - Envy your way to fun and profit in descent - The Division 2
The one where I have a In-depth Look at the Envy Rotation for Descent, and how we usually use it for when we try to go deep in descent, as it has no peers for that if set up well, but that requires some explanation and setup, so lets discuss all that and even go over some numbers.

Nice video. Just one question? How do I activate chatterbox when you already got bullet hell?
you have to pick bullet hell after chatter, and you really want to have chatter set up at 5 stacks at the moment that you do. i go into how to set it up in the : 20:57 Setup to go Deep . section of the video on how to set it all up to get the combo locked in. and also important to know, once you lock it in at 5 stacks of chatter, it will stay like that till the end, going up in loops or dying does not take away the stacks.
@@ikia Thank you :)
Everytime I thought the Nemesis, he/she had skills that I didn't had...
as i say in the video aswell, there are skills that will give them a random one, and that why they should not be picked pre-nemisis. all of the shields, all of the pulses and the decoy will be random skill for them. also for some skills they will have in the same category but not the exact same skill. they wont have a revive hive for instance, that will become a healing hive for them, same for healing trap becoming shock trap. the easiest is to just stick to the recommendation that i make in this video of : -fire or foam chem -any of the stickies, fire, explosive or emp -any of the fireflies as all become blinder firefly with foam and blinder actually being very usefull on that list.
@@ikia yeah, I know. I never understood what the hell was going on, but now I finally understand. 😆
Very good illustration of third person peeking and overall an excellent guide. I'll be recommending this video to new players as reference.
Wonderful breakdown. Thank you!
In depth look just as it goes away for another 4 months. ... When did you get to 48? In the PTS? Can't get past 32 myself post TU20
as it says in the video, it was in the sunday before this video was recorded that we did the 48. and it will likely be around more now that it seems to be fixed, it was likely bugged more so than rare. we will have to wait and see to be sure, but more likely that than it being so unlucky. also getting deeper than 30 was not really hard last or this season, especially with envy, had 42 last season and 48 this, just do it with envy with this videos setup and it is much more about having the time, than needing any special levels of skill. as none of my recent going beyond loop 30 runs have really ended with a unintended death, mostly just us going "that was enough", and ending it.
Another useful tip for Descent is your Hardcore toon can play it over and over and get a ton of XP. So when the descent char dies your Hardcore char does not.
A lot of people don't know this and are scared to. I tried to tell a guy who was hardcore 10k he could and wouldn't believe me. What can you do. Your NSA credits from "softcore" carry over too
That's the build I used other than using a grupo mask 🫡
Do you think high ground also matters? Does it give you an advantage?
Never mind, you mentioned it in the video 😅
I am a day 1 Div1 & Div2 player, and I'm a smoker. Which means I've watched a lot of Division videos...and I mean a lot. This is truly one of the best videos, and definately the best 'guide' video, that i have seen. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Thanks, Ikia.
Who needs therapy when IKEA himself is providing free self help videos on youtube 🙏🏻
Can't wait to get home and watch this!
Awesome guide, looking forward for the next parts
Great Guide, like always. Curios about Part 2
Thanks IKia! Excellent and very important observations. I am a veteran and I learned a lot. Looking forward to part 2.
Some of the concepts you've described have been echo'ed in other games but the vocabulary is a bit different. For example, I've commonly seen types of cover referred to as vertical/horizontal rather than short/tall. Based on how you describe "triage" it sounds like you're describing target or threat prioritization. The way you're describing "aim" is a bit nebulous since a good portion of the discussion was on spray/recoil patterns. Based on how you've labelled the others, you seem to be describing "Weapon Knowledge" more than "aim" itself. I like the list. Personally, any sort of concepts that can be transferred to multiple games are concepts worthy of players to invest their time in learning. Can't wait for Part 2.
there are indeed many a way these things are called, and will mostly depend on what it ended up being called in your bubble. thats why this part was mostly to setup what i will mean in later parts, basically a lexicon, just so we are all on the same page for later parts. but also generally triage is more than just target prio, as it includes also things like shooting world object or even weakpoints on dead enemies to cc and such, and also on how to engage things like with skills alongside of weapons. and the reason i chose the term aim, is because that is what you improve, but for that you do need to understand the weapon mechanics. it will make more sense in the self analysis part where we actually focus on improving aim.
Super informative as always!
Great information - thanks for all the work!
To elaborate on just how difficult it is to obtain the super unicorn habsburg, if you want HSD + Weapon Handling + Talent, that's 1/12x1/11x1/22, which gives you a 1/2904 chance for getting what you're looking for. Better odds than a shiny but still pretty rough. If you're willing to settle for just the HSD and talent that only comes out to 1/264 which you could probably get reasonably quick with some effort.
My striker style of choice is running survivalist and Lefty (regardless of chest/primary). Lefty's sledge goes well with the fire nade that survivalist has turning a huge circle into a lingering debuff no mans land, giving both the perfect sledge debuff and the survivalist bonus damage vs statused enemies which can be fantastic for raid dps vs big enemy spawns or particularly tough ones like hunters and bosses. Defensively it also comes with baked in PFE and AoE armor kits which is handy on occasion. The fire nade debuffs in particular can get a lot of value at the end of countdowns with the hunters and helo drops, taking a lot of pressure of the team by allowing them to cut through the reinforcements significantly faster.
Way to much crit chance...
i can not wait to actually hear the argument behind this, because i don't even know what it is going to be on a build that can not even flip any chc to chd to begin with the way it is currently set up.
Great video! Really looking forward to the upcoming videos mentioned at the end!!!
I have 1 Chill Out, it has a red core and max ChD. It is at expertise 17 and is used on 2 builds. The build i use 4 hunters and countdown extractions. All red PFEs. Also, armour regen. 3 gila, 1 belstone, 2 golan. Obliterate and adrenaline rush. 59 ChC, 175 ChD. Build slaps
Hello, is there any difference between Model 700 and Model 700 tactic ?
there are three different weapons with similar names, the model 700, the m700 carbon and the m700 tactical. the model 700 is the old looking one that is not magazine fed, and that is the one that is the hardest hitter nowadays, the m700 carbon and m700 tactical are similar to eachother, with the big difference between the two being that the m700 tactical cannot use most underbarrels that you would want to use on a sniper like accuracy or stability. the carbon is useable, the tactical isn't really, but both of these are also inferior to the SR-1 so the model 700 is the only one of that bunch that has a clear purpose as being the top dmg but at the cost of the reload, and then the sr-1 gives up a little damage for a mag reload and more acc/stab with mods, the m700carbon and tactical shouldn't really be used over a sr-1.
Thanks iKia, great video
Brand bonuses 100% mater and can make or break your build
I found a guy with improvised chest other day... Couldn't understand why. Told him this same sentiment, why... It's "free' bonus you're throwing away.
@@SCarter02767 I inspected a guys build a few weeks ago and he had an improvised chest and BP and it was at like expertise 22 and I thk I had a small stroke trying 2 figure out y
I only use it on a single build and that build is only used at the end of tidal basin otherwise never use it for any other build
I run it on a pvp healer build with every piece expertise 26. My armor is almost 1.2 mil and I haven't seen a build that puts out more heals.
i am willing to bet that if you told me what the build is, then i could tell you a way of improving it, because there are enough brandbonuses that can work for healer, and guessing it is a high end healer, then any improvised piece in holster/glove/knee could be a 20% repair anyway if you were to run out of brand bonuses, and improv would have one haste more, or one more hazard roll instead of 5% armor.
4 piece future with back pack chill out and alps summit chest with technician.
@@ikiayou can't beat these heals. The 5% armor does its job. If you are not a pvp player I'm sure you won't understand though.
don't try to go the "if you don't pvp you dont understand" route, especially after going "cant beat these heals". especially when there is a obvious way to beat the heals and not waste a brand on 5% armour, as named above a improvised piece would net you a much more useful repair skill stat vs that 5% armour. what you tried there isn't the defense of a chill out, that was just you trying to justify what you want to believe instead of the obvious. also who uses FI in pvp? there is way too much chip dmg to make it usefull, and a highend healer can actually have unbeatable heals.
On status builds it's even weirder because Vile exists. Also if all the pieces are upgraded to level 12, no exotic components needed, the build gets 12% more armor
in their defense, it was on foam eclipse where generally you don't go vile, but in most of their cases it was also not that they were going for the armour, 2 video i saw with that eclipse chill out setup proudly proclaimed that it was the best setup for extra haste.
The Foamath himself sent me here. Love your videos, man. Keep it up! 🔥
The Chillout mask works with the Pointman chestpeice & a Backpack with Protector & Shocker Punch hoslter & ST. Elmo's engine. 3 peice Gila bonus & hoslter with ST.Elmo's .
as i say in the video, it really only works for pfe mods while also going for the regen, if that is what you are going for there then sure, otherwise not really,
@@ikia it's a a simple support build that let's you save teammates and the shock Sheild stops group's rushing out the doors or spawn points. Lastly it's a speed run build for being the lead man, the C.P name
Thank you man for saving my time.
Great video! Love your content. What about the Grupo "Festive" backpack, what attribute would make it worth grinding for...if any???
there is no real use for the festive nowadays, but you can still use it just as a fun little item on either red or explosives builds, you could try farming for a simple one that ends up red-chc-chd and just run it to make people go "wth was that".
Brand bonuses matter, dammit!

Loved 🥰
heyo ikia, i went to descend rightaway and honestly i had fun with it for the first time. i always thought killing nemesis and then resetting would be the way to go but yeah, you convinced me to try again and it was fun! granted we have wrath right now so theres a lot of good stuff in it right now. if you are looking for topics to cover: an in depth guide to descend and a guide for the season events would be appreciated. j greetings!
Great video as always. Does the overclock perks apply to yourself as well as allies?
it will apply to anyone inrange, that is the only requirement, so you can also have it buff yourself aswell
Really good explanation on Grupo vs Ceska. I recently got Coyotes and has been running a Ceska mask/Grupo chest before as I didn’t have a great Ceska chest (have one now) and I was unsure of what slotted in better with Coyotes. I assumed it was Grupo and this confirmed it definitely wasn’t. Greatly appreciated
Also added question, knowing I’m loosing out on overall damage, would I be hurting myself by a big amount of if I were to run 2 blue 4 red? I’m a solo player mostly and like the little bit of extra armor while getting back in the swing
for solo it is fine to run a few blues, or even grab a memento, also pairing that with a shield if you have some blues is a good pick. for instance my preferred style of builds when i am solo are the techtanks, they are more bluecored than not, with more than enough damage for solo by keeping the minor attributes for chc/chd and making use of gearset talents. there are a few variants of them in this recommended list: docs.google.com/document/d/1-nOwUSECa-1iLhET-mW04u6oMBdIdMjFjB2Ie25ziEA
@@ikia greatly appreciate the reply! I’m definitely gonna check out the other builds later too! And I usually run shield in solo play so that’s nice to know!
You are the absolute best, I couldn't figure out why I didn't have my watch and this was the only video I found that actually said where to go. Thanks man this is amazing
A little late to this party, but it was fun to hear you talk about your time and experience with Div 1 both in hindsight and currently. Hearing about your peculiar build preferences back in the day was also fun seeing just how different your priorities were. The "canon" build I used most in Div 1 that I'm particularly proud of how much I got out of it, was a pair of identical max rolled big Alejendro's with descrutive and swift (to reduce downtime), ran on top of full classy striker's with 3 DTE mods and one gold mod to hit the 6k stamina breakpoint with 6,961 firearms. Totalled out to 40 DtE and 56 DtA with 136 HSD. Because of how LMG's work, while in cover I can laserbeam with almost not horiz recoil and incredible accuracy while building both striker and Big A stacks. I was able to solo legendaries and even falcon lost with it, and even recorded me doing most of them, but haven't uploaded it all yet because I never finished the whole set of missions. I ran it with shock turret and sticky flashbangs to add on demand CC to negate enemy cover and stall advances, kinda like what you can do with riot foam nowadays. I reinstalled div1 again the other day to show a friend, and should probably finally finish recording all the legendaries and FL on this build so I can post...
Thanks for the reply.
Yaahl gear is exclusive to the DZ. Yes you can craft it, but you still need brand resources, so you need to go PvP
a case can be made for syscor, but even that is mostly gotten by people trough legacy caches. but yaahl till recently was on clan vendors, and even now without that, you can craft purple yaahl. which has been made easier with the recent lvling changes, which will give you the crafting parts you need to craft high end parts. currently nothing is truly exclusive to the DZ, and it isn't even one of the better ways to get any of these thing for a long time. i would never recommend someone to farm the dz for either these two or any of the nameds, the other ways are just better.
@@ikia iirc purple Yaahl gear don't give you high end parts upon deconstruction
they do, actually i will have a yt short up on it pretty soon as it is a lesser know tactic it seems, but purples always can give brands crafting parts, with highends it is 1 per deconstructed piece, with superior (purple) its around a 50-50 per deconstructed piece. not the best way as it is costly, but now that yaahl is harder to get with it not going on clan vendor anymore, for people with watch alts and watch points to waste, this is the better way if you need yaahl.
@@ikia wow, news to me. I need to try it myself
Fantastic video concept and execution, following this I banged out a whole alt run in all of 2 hour and 12 minutes after prep, wony would have taken 2.5x-3x as long or more. Thanks for putting this together!
I disagree with the stash space. I have a relatively clean stash, and I actually stopped saving stuff a while back, but I'm close to 300, and having such a small stash (and not many loadout slots) is one of the reasons why I don't really play. I understand why the limit is so "low", but for the most people, that don't have all the Blueprints like you, or can easily farm for items, like you do, we do do NEED to save all the great pieces we get...
"Listen to the community" is also something that pisses me! SOOOOO many diferent opinions on any subject, that the Devs would basically be changing things every single day, depending on which part of the community would be more vocal that day.
Completely agree with your Vendors opinions.
100% agree with the "multiplicative" thoughts. 200% agree with stealth take. It would make no sense in The Division. People who request it, just want to play Ghost Recon in a citty setting.
Dz exclusives: as a regular possible drop, they're still dz exclusives. The DZs are still the only place where we can farm them as a drop. That's why some people (like me) call them dz "exclusive".
and people that hear it think they are exclusive to the dz, because you literally told them that that is what they are. and they haven't been in a long while, those items only dropping there is not how most people will get them, not with named caches and the manhunt bounties being how most people will have those items. so to me it is a bad way to describe them, as for most they will have gotten them from other places, so all it does is add to the confusion. honestly if we were gonna call them something exclusive nowadays, it would be named cache exclusive, i basically haven't seen anyone really farm dz for dz items since the introduction of the GE store.
@@ikia well, when I talk to people, I always explain all of that. All the other sources for those items. And all the people that I see talking about them, also explain it. If someone simply says that they are dz exclusives, then I agree with you, it's a bad thing.
A good ramble and great content as usual, worth the watch.
