I know Division 2 did this plenty but I’m so loving over these heavily scripted super immersive gameplay trailers. Like just walking around the house scavenging then being super conscious and careful when you hear gunfire in the distance. I don’t play these games as a sim I play loot piñata to break pinatas.

Lmao I’m slamming the pick up button on every item I see then sprint rolling to the next fight let’s loving go give me that loving loot

I would really love more urban scavengy stuff truth be told. But everything that proports that is heavily PvP/competitive.

Tromping around apartments was some of the most fun I had in Div1 because it was immersive and nostalgic for me. If that was, say, an alternative to grinding bosses/supplement crafting mats in the long haul I'd do it as a relaxing walking (with sometimes shooting) simulator.

Does targeted loot in summit include exotics?

Yep! Not sure if there's a small chance to get exotics off of regular mooks but they definitely drop off of bosses, caches and rogues in summit.

You can farm summit bosses if you want to. Get to a boss floor (they're every 10 floors) kill the boss, let his minions kill you (fast traveling to the lobby might work too), repeat.

Well, Hollywood wasn't as horrid as I thought it would be - I figured the forcefields would be more invulnerable, but they just prolonged the murder I was doing. Finished all the challenges short of "kill 50 with grenades", and that was mainly because I didn't feel like grinding that out.

Might spend this evening grinding out out the last 30 Summit floors for completion. Might play a little bit with Just The Tip of the Spear, see how disgusting my spec weapons can get with (more) free ammo.

Maybe I should just run my two boosted/non-story alts up to 40 for project/SHD greed...

50 nades is simple just turn it down to hard or lower, equip concs, and throw on a mad bomber chest (to prime nades) and an Acosta bag (to get refunded nades). Then find 50 enemies!

It’s dumb but the secret to anything grenade is the first 4 guys on True Sons Viewpoint on normal or hard or whatever the lowest difficulty is. Even if there’s two purples you can usually use your pistol to soften them up for the grenade to kill them.

I've never been really good with grenades in Div2 - somehow, I was better in 1. :iiam:

Anyway, committed Summit again. Got some moderate/due named items, and the Exotic cache puked out a Waveform.Which I might save and throw on one of my alts when they hit 40.

I wish priming grenades wasn't a backpack skill, that should just be a thing you can do. Same for using any grenade from any of the specialization trees :argh:

This was a really fun part of Division 1 and it was actually worth it since you could get a ton of cosmetics that way. In Div 2 there's only a handful of cosmetics you can get by scavenging.

So I can finally play again, and I'm still an ultra noob, just wandering my way through DC shooting fuckers. One of my many questions is what to do with all this equipment I've gathered. Should I sell it or deconstruct? And what the gently caress do I do with all the deconstructed parts? And is there a way to mass-deconstruct? I have 80 items and i don't want to hold down tab for five seconds x 80 items

Mark the items you don't want as junk. There's a separate button to deconstruct all junk.

Awesome, thanks! So is it better to deconstruct than sell? I haven't bought a single gun yet, there doesn't seem to be much reason for money

Yeah I went chainkiller, mantis, and a bakers dozen plus a bunch of poo poo that makes it hit harder. Just pop that decoy and then plink heads nonstop

It may also means bad guys are on their way there and may not be there yet. Regardless food/water/components lose their importance to the game pretty quick.

If you like MMRs, coyote's mask, chainkiller chest, Tip of the Spear holster/backpack/gloves/kneepads all with headshot damage minors and your MMR/rifle of choice. Open up with the Tac50 and then headshot stuff for crazy numbers.

Tip of the Spear backpack will generate more Tac50 ammo over time but you can go with ToTS mask/holster/gloves/kneepads and chainkiller chestpiece and your backpack of choice (vigilance, composure or opportunistic) for even more damage. I use this last setup with Mantis and a shotgun with decoy and revive hive. I open with the Tac50 and throw the decoy, keep killing with mantis to refresh the decoy and if someone gets close he gets a shotgun (with chainkiller the first shot will kill almost anything). Mantis/White Death/revolver is a good combo too.

Yeah, most all of the game's systems are greek to me, so I just chill around DC shooting dudes with red labels and trying to look cool.

That's a great way to start and will help ease you into the games higher end systems. It's worth to loot everything right now since you can actually find clothing drops every now and then.
