    I'm around SHD 1200 and have 800 hours played and I've never tried Countdown. Will take this video as a sign to give it a try. I play primarily solo so haven't tried many PvP modes.

      This Is PVE... and just follow everyone else's lead. You will never farm the same way again SO MUCH LOOT!! Keep me posted!

      I play mostly solo as well. The nice thing about Countdown is no mic is required. Just follow the group, complete the tasks and kill stuff.

    • @DavionAngeles
      @DavionAngeles Před 5 měsíci +8

      I play 90% solo, the other 10% is Countdown farming. I definitely recommend it. The majority of the other players go out of their way to kill everything, break line of sight, move in front of you, push you out the way etc. I just let them kill everything and pick up loot. You can also target farm which is great.

    Thank you for making this video. This is a much needed guide. Don't get me wrong, I'm all in for helping new players but I think that they have to put some minimal effort before jumping to heroic, like watching this video and playing on challenging first.
    Things I would add:
    - Vip are not only longer, there is (or was?) a bug where the vip goes down and you just cannot revive him, thus mission failed. That's why veterans avoid it.
    - Protection from elite (PFE) mods are really usefull. On heroic difficulty, there's at least 95% of ads that are elites, and it also works for hunters.
    - From the devs: ''Crashes can occur when interacting and trying to claim the final loot cache in the Countdown mode''. You can see it in the Division 2 section on Trello. The good thing is that it was in the ''Investigating'' phase for several months and it has recently been moved to the ''In progress'' phase, that's the last step before the ''Fix ready''.
    - Finally I would say that in an ideal run, after completing the 3 objectives, everyone should focus on taking down hunters first as they do tremendous amount of damage and can kill you before you can even know what's going on.
    Oh and yeah I agree, don't worry about your voice mate, super chill ✌

    @rob5984 Před 5 měsíci +6

    Countdown is amazing for gear farming. I remember that, when I first started getting serious about playing, it would take weeks to get the pieces needed for a build. Now it doesn't seem to take more than a couple of Countdown runs. And, when you work with a group who helps you farm, it goes really quick - which I've been doing with QD Pistols and her group. Four or five in the countdown helping you farm yields dividends quickly.
    But you're absolutely right. Never signal the extraction until there are

    As a new player, watch level 250, so many videos, extolling the joy of loot in countdown. Even though I was relatively low I finally gave it a shot. I’ve been kicked a few times but I would say 90% of the time no problems. Still learning but I follow the group. if there’s something to click, I click it and I follow the group. And the stuff goes down so fast that I do my best to at least do a little bit of damage but half the time I just see those giant yellow shafts of loot light popping up everywhere. It really is the most fantastic farm in the game. And I always laugh if I do get kicked for my level because I’m certainly not holding anybody back. Bad guys are dropping in 1 to 2 seconds. So if you get kicked for a low level, whoever did it is a jack ass. Don’t worry about them. Just get back in the queue. And yeah you really do need 50 slots open.

    One tip i would like to add from my personal experiences. When u call in for the Heil if ur team is good. Depending on when the Heil gets called in, you may be able to take 1 or 2 waves of enemies before you need to leave. Their has been many time I was greedy for my loot and was not able to make it out in time and was not able to get the extension bonus. I ended up getting like 60 to 80 credit, where if extension with everyone and got the bonus i would end with avg around 150 to 160. Having more credit could help you get that exotic you need for a build. For it like 300ish in countdown vendor, and u can buy an exotic box.

    Always useful to have a guide to modes familiar and unfamiliar. My preordered copy of Division: Hunted (Operation Crossroads) was delivered yesterday. It is definitely a solid follow up to Recruited and Compromised. Plot confirms what I thought was going to happen to a specific character. As for certain other named characters from the game well they are present as well. It’s connecting and certainly would tie in with events of Year 5 so far. Anyhow thanks for the countdown review.

  • @Laying_Bricks
    @Laying_Bricks Před 2 měsíci +2

    All I would add is always do Heroic.
    And use protection from elite mods. I usual run one piece of improvised for the extra mod slot, and survivalist for the extra boost. The incendiary grenades are great for the helicopter landings at the end.

    There is a known bug in CD where the person looting the final chest will disconnect from the game. I have had this happen to me a few times. Whenever I loot the final chest I unlock it and then immediately exit out so that the loot is on the floor. I can then safely loot it from the floor rather than the chest. I haven't had a single DC with this approach, hopefully it helps others.

      @ricovargas9775 Před 5 měsíci +2

      @HusbandOfManyWives1776 When you start a "Hardcore Mode" character, the character only has a single life. You can go into a downed state where you are bleeding, but you can be picked up by a friend or revive hive, but if you bleed out all the way, you lose the character and all associated gear forever. That's true for story mode, endgame, and countdown. Countdown is the only game mode in DIV 2 where Hardcore and Non-Hardcore characters can play together.

    Countdown is by far the fastest way to farm for exotics. If everything works out on Challenging you will get 158 Countdown credits. You can buy an exotic cache from the Countdown vendor for 224. Heroic is 208 Countdown credits, again, if everything goes right (which I find is most of the time). I also want to emphasis not calling the helicopter until 10 seconds or less.

    Good video, but I think you missed a crucial info that is not obvious to your target audience: when those initial hunters are killed, they don't drop loot, BUT they drop the dog tags which must be picked up and you get the credits for them at the end. People might think that's not important and run past and miss out on 50 credits.
    What I personally would have liked some more explanation on, which I'm still not grasping, is what unlocks the orange chests after the encounters. I sometimes see them unlock, sometimes not, and I don't get it how it works. Is it only one chest opening per countdown? Is it only on the final encounter?

    never had problems with heroic countdown. i played it even without max shd level. sometimes you get a team which is not working togehter and you will lose but mostly you can play heroic even with low shd level. just try it. it is also sometimes important what kind of countermeasurements you get. a few days ago i was playing coutndown with guys which had shd lvl 300 or below and we were walking through this like it is nothing.

      Ong about that last part, im pretty new to the game (around shd lv 39 rn) and there was this game right after I got st elmos for the first time and I had this crit build I had been using for awhile on in that one game and I was doing around 1.5 million damage for every crit shot and after that it went down to 500-600 thousand. It was probably a combination of some of my teammates buffing me and the countermeasures that allowed me to do so much damage at such a low level. I'm praying for another game like that again. 😂

      A little bit of both, both the good thing is after about 20-25CD you should have max stats on your gears assuming you target your set and transfer stats, you could probably even make an all red heart breaker for CD with ease which will make it much easier.
      I think you should still go maybe you will get kicked a few times but you will build up your gears quickly, personally if I have 5 well geared people with me, I don’t mind to carry 2.

    I don’t feel like the VIP is that much different time wise. Especially if it is available right next door. The time you spend running is what drives me crazy. VIP does however seem to have the most enemies to kill. A good group clears it fast, and more enemies means more loot drops. If loot is the point, I never mind the VIP option. Actually kinda prefer it on challenging.

    Question for the community. Is there a big difference in the loot gathered between Challenging and Heroic in Countdown? I have only played Heroic 3 times and didnt really notice any difference. Am i right or have you seen a big difference?

    • @habib6863
      @habib6863 Před 5 měsíci +1

      No there's no difference. Maybe a few more items, but I haven't really noticed. Pretty sure in the countdown difficulty menu it specifically says that the items will drop with heroic stats no matter the difficulty.
      The time heroic takes with a random team can make it not worth IMO.

    • @TheGamingBrigadeTV
      @TheGamingBrigadeTV  Před 5 měsíci +1

      For me, I do not notice a major difference. But I do know on challenging. You can complete it faster, which equals earning more countdown resources, which, then equals by more exotic cashes. But that’s just my take.

      Pls do not use skill builds in countdown (turret/drone) mainly. During the objectives its okay. Against hunters no, they hack the deployable skills and use them against you other reason to not use them is u will get kicked a lot.

      I don’t know the exact rates, but your chances are higher on heroic than challenging. However, you can usually clear challenging, much faster which equates to earning more resources, which you can then spend at the countdown vendor to buy exotic cashes.

      In Countdown loot always drops with heroic tier stats even on Challenging, that's why people prefer to run it on Challenging, because the jump from Challenging to Heroic is less of a slope and more of a cliff, in terms of how hard the enemies hit and how much more damage spongy they are on Heroic.

      From the devs: ''Crashes can occur when interacting and trying to claim the final loot cache in the Countdown mode''. You can see it in the Division 2 section on Trello. The good thing is that it was in the ''Investigating'' phase for several months and it has recently been moved to the ''In progress'' phase, that's the last step before the ''Fix ready''.

      - If we get killed can we jump back in once an objective is done ?
      - If we get killed before extraction do we loose looted gear?
      Make things simple, even in your old video talking about it you didn't mention these things. You're trying to make this video appeal to both expert players and new ones. You should stop trying that it's not a good idea.

    Some people have a new philosophy. Serious players take responsibility for their own revivals. That means NOT waiting for someone else to revive them - exceptions are when the subteam is weak, with one superior player, and the superior takes a risk to distract the hunter out of position. But someone who goes down in the two sub-missions will get booted. That gives the other players nothing to worry about at the extraction. In my experience, you can clear the extraction with five people without much difficulty - you have to be aware of teammates strategies and support /protect them.
