Great content brother. Subbed
I like the idea of using 4th character as resource mule. I usually run it on Monday, then use the Tuesday reset for weekly requisition (extra exotics). It also helps to have quick access to checkpoints and the fast salvage / level ups. Good video, thanks for sharing.
Any and all comments for future content are much appreciated.
If there are any clarifications required, or things that I got wrong in this video, please let me know in the comments below.
I just created a third character. Then suddenly I realized I needed a mule, so now I'm on my fourth character. I'll be doing this layout. My third character wasted my resources. I wish I seen this video first. 🤷 👍 🤙
I have 2 characters but seems like I’m gonna need another one. 😂 thank you!!!
😬 I’m using all 4 available characters now. Main, RUclips, Raid and mule for scavenging points.
I would add the lvl 1 grey gear you start with, I favorite that stuff and make a load out for it so that when done, I re-equip that selling / deconstructing any other non level 40 gear I used along the way for when I delete the character to start fresh. Also, I share materials and make a Component / Water / Food Run and do the weekly SHD Project for the exotic to deconstruct for exotic material at level 30 before going to NY, but then the whole point for me is the resources and so I'm not at max and have no benefit from trying to get over 9999.
^^^^^ This !!!! I started doing this on every run. . .brilliant idea!
That's a pretty good idea. I had no idea I could scoop up the shield splintered on every character. I guess that makes sense. Anyway, good tips. Will use.
I guess the order of operations is important. I messed up and pulled the shield splintered before I boosted the character. Haha. No good.
I’ve done that as well! If there is a mistake that can be made, I’ve probably made it.
If you're going to be doing this run and you already have a level 30 character, you might as well make a proper level 30 turret gear with in-synch kinetic motion and combined arms and just recycle the gear when you restart the run.
Not a bad idea. . .I'll do that the next time I'm gettng ready to do a WONY run
I’ve created the same and on my 3rd warlord now. I’ve defeated 2 skyscraper and ship. Good video man. Keep them rolling. What skills did you use to take down Arron Keanon ?
Make sure you disable all offensive skills as Keener can hack them and use them against you. I use a crusader shield for a bit of protection and a jammer pulse to knock out his defender drone. I’ve been using a strikers build with Memento and a Ceska chest with crit chance, crit damage and Obliterate. Crit chance on the gear to get to 50% then everything else goes to crit damage. I use St Elmo’s or a Police M4 paired with an ACS-12 for primary/secondary.
Start with a level one and use the level 30 boost, nice!
👍
B4 going to ny, stop by all cp and pick up the loot. The one across from The crash site, has a lot of loot around that area, actually the entire bottom area of the map is full of loot.
I've been doing this on most of my runs now. . .thanks for the tip!
I like this way of completing WONY with a new character - tho I think Im still doing something out of order or wrong, as I never seem to get as much materials i think once Ive got the keeners watch and return to the BOO in Washington - Shouldnt all my remaining 3 charecters get the all the materials as well once i purchase the share materials from inya ? thank you again for the video and your time making them
You’re very welcome! The materials go into the shared resource pool when you buy the Shared Account Resources blueprint. I usually buy it at level 30 along with the account shared blueprint’s blueprint so I can craft my favourite weapon mods along the way.
shared blueprints and the shield splinter good addition
Glad it helped.
i should be shd 1k before i take down keener of before i activate his watch @@AgentMeat
Nice video. Could you tell me what is the logic behind not buying the blue print to share resources ? and when do you buy it ?
If you follow this strategy, have a look at your account resources before you run the character. If your overall resource levels are low, it doesn’t make a difference if you buy it at level 30 or after you hit level 40.
If you are near the maximum for some of your resources but you know you are going to need them for upcoming optimization, expertise levelling etc, wait thill you hit level 40, spend all the scavenging points on the new character then buy the blueprint. The game won’t void the excess and you will end up with more than the single character cap of 9999 resources for that particular resource.
@@AgentMeat thank you... Will do
The level 40 weapon from a specialization is indestructible and takes up no space in stash or inventory. Not everyone gets 5 specialization options at 165, that depends on the version of WONY purchased. You can also keep a fully modded splinterer 30, 35, 40 in your stash and pull them out for use.
That is very good information. Thank you!
Thanks for the video. Now I see my mistake, I created a new agent choosing NY mission and from the beginning doesn't have access to Washington.
You will gain access to Washington only after you’ve completed the DLC and killed Keener. Until then, you’re “stuck” in New York. I’ve done the DLC multiple times without the blueprints, they’re nice to have not need to have.
ive done this method back when expertise 21 came out before. in just 1 day and few hours from expertise 15 i reach expertise 21 so fast as long you have patience grinding and killing the same enemies over and over you can expertise fast now im just waiting for next week expertise 22 i have 3 new character already done the new york dlc once expertise 22 become live next week.😁
Love it! I just “used up” my latest mule. Going to run at least two more through before Tuesday.
@@AgentMeat only few donation needed mate if ur expertise 21 already 20/90 donation to become expertise 22 in next live patch next week one new wony character is enough for donation.
@@your_boyfriend272 Not quite there yet. . .I'm knocking on the door of 14 and want to bump that up over the weekend.
Hi, I just bought the game and realized that I have to use/buy the dlc boost option as provided. Before buy in - the game mentions it is a one time offer on one character only. So my question is will i need to buy another boost for second character to become a mule for the first character.. (essentially buying twice the Boost option). Is that even allowed?
Secondly since i am still a bit overwhelmed with all the game systems. Can you reccomend a path to follow for a new player to follow this system you have outlined. Or am i pacing myself too fast and just enjoy the game...and let it be after a certain point of time.
Lastly, according to you how many hours of grinding would be needed for a beginner to enjoy end game content with a decent build..
Thanks for your patience... Subbed.. 🙏👍
PS: I have done the grind only once in a looter game with NIOH2 having 2000 plus hours on it.. That was super fun looter and build making fun..
Thank you for both the question and the sub! I'll try and answer your questions in order.
The Warlords Of New York Expansion (DLC) includes the Level 30 Boost. They are a one-time purchase for your account and based on my experience, can be used unlimited times by you as you create new characters. I don't know how many times I've used the Level 30 Boost as it numbers in the dozens if not hundreds.
The path you choose in the game is largely determined by what you want out of the game. I want a game I can enjoy for almost endless hours that doesn't feel like a grind so a lot of what I recommend is based on making the conscious choice to not get too wrapped up in the progression but enjoy the progress.
Most of the following assumes you have finished WONY and are at SHD level 40 but it also applies below level 40. If you have not yet purchased the DLC, disregard the piece about Expertise.
Put together a build that fits your playstyle and allows you to tackle Level 3 (Challenging) control points. Level 3 and 4 control points award crafting blueprints. These are the first place you want to spend time working toward. This will also give you crafting materials and weapons/gear that can become materials. When your inventory becomes full, head back to the White House and do the following. Go through everything and mark pieces you intend to keep as a favorite; mark everything else as junk. Head to the recalibration bench and do the following. Go to the Recalibration library and look for a little green triangle next to the weapons and gear. This indicates there are pieces in your inventory with higher values or Talents you do not yet have. Extract talents, then primary attributes then secondary attributes until all the triangles are gone. Go to the Expertise tab and donate all junk. Finally, deconstruct all remaining junk for components/materials. If you get in the habit of doing this after every run, you will quickly fill your library and get on the way toward making all your gear proficient (Expertise)
With the pieces you kept as a favorite, go through your build(s) and look for upgrades. Mark anything you replace as junk and repeat the process above.
While doing the above, make sure you have spent all your SHD points at the Quartermaster and have unlocked all your perks, skills and Specializations.
Work toward maxing out all your specializations trees. The weekly invaded missions are an excellent way of doing this. Each of the 5 missions awards 5 points toward your active specialization and every time you go up a level you get 3 points. When you max out a specialization, activate a new one and work toward maxing it out as well.
Create a few loadouts for different situations. I recommend a skill build, a 4-piece Heartbreaker Gear Set Build and a 4-piece Strikers Gear Set build as starting loadouts.
I can't answer the question about the number of hours; I've got about 1600 hours on my main character and I'm at SHD watch level 5700. The main story and the DLC can be defeated quite quicky and getting your watch up to SHD 1000 can also be done quite quickly if you want to treat it like a job. . .one of my clan mates went up something like 75 watch levels in one day. This was done by responding to a players request for assistance (Sheppard). The group was playing on Heroic with 4 directives active and they all played together for hours. Being a Sheppard for another agent awards an XP bonus as does playing at higher difficulty and activating additional directives.
There is so much to this game that you have to learn; all of this just takes time, practice and patience.
My last piece of advice is to join an active clan. . .this game is far more fun played with other players.
Meat
@@AgentMeat Thank you for taking the time to reply so elaborately.. Will try and follow through on your advice..
I bought the dlc few hours baxk.. Co-oped my way with a player till lecel 38. Though it will take time ro understand the systems, i will try.. Winters and snow here allow for time here.. I hope to nake a few fun builds and help other fellow players as i find satisfaction and fun in that.. Will ocassionaly send a reply when i have a build working.
Thanks again.
Wow, very nice and well explained video. Just one thing, right after the Level 30 Boost, you show The White House completed and are able to speak with Inaya. when I did it the white house was still not finished and the crafting table was not useable.
I’ve not ever seen that issue. Let me do some testing and see if I can replicate your experience.
No bigge about to finish up the manhunt with my boosted character. Do I just go back to Inaya and get the shared resourses blueprint and I am done?@@AgentMeat
@@lifeisgood5794 that would be my guess but I’ve never had your issue with Inaya. I’m working on another video but I am planning to boost a new character tonight to test this out.
@lifeisgood5794 I ran a character through late last night and could not replicate your issue with Inaya. I followed my usual pattern, run to the WH at level 1, speak to Manny, equip the first skill at the quartermaster, then boost to level 30. When I re-enter the WH at level 30, I went to the specialization desk and equipped the demolitionist perks then went around the corner to Inaya. I was able to interact with both her and the crafting table.
It's all good, being my first time I was a bit worried but I did it with your help. Thank you and why did I wait so long to do this, haha@@AgentMeat
When creating a second or other character, the warlords expansion is super easy, even solo, and does not really require getting a shield splinterer or doing anything in Washington prior to Warlords. As you progress through warlords from level 30-40 just use the newer gear you find. To me, spending any time in Washington is a waste of time and is better used towards the 2-4 hr grind in New York.
I do it purely for the convenience of having some of my preferred blueprints for weapon mods available as I progress. While running WONY, I don't buy or craft any gear or weapons, I just equip and use what I pick up along the way but I do prefer to have the option to equip the +20 round magazine. But, as you said, spending time in Washington is absolutely not required.
You only buy the shared blueprints, when you would get the shared resources?
I sometimes buy it at the same time and other times if I want to push certain materials above 9999, I buy it after I defeat Keener and hit 40. It depends on what I’m doing with the mats.
Wow in the hundreds of times I've done this I've never use the tower in front of the White House, great idea.
Other players have already mentioned buying the Shared materials blueprint to get the SHD requisition project at level 30. That 1 extra diamond adds up for your Expertise grind.
So it's overkill but I actually have saved gear, weapons and mods sets for this run. It saves me a bit of time having to loot for items or using subpar items recovered from the missions. So from level 30 to 40, for most levels I have items to match the level. I've even gone as far as to recalibrate some items to give a max attribute. So in the run I don't bother to pick up items outside the missions. It's about 80 items in total that then go into stash when it's time to delete character. However if a level 40 player helps me, they usually do most of the heavy work and I don't have to adjust gear every level until we get to Keener.
Also prior to running this character I make sure I have junked level 40 items in stash so I can sell them with the level 30 character to craft missing weapon attachments.
Nice! My stash is fuller than I care to admit but those are all good suggestions.
@@AgentMeat Yeah, I purged a lot of items I know I'll never use. For example with backpacks very few would match the Memento so I ditched a ton of them.
But what I need is another slot to run a Hardcore character. My 4 slots are the same as you.
That opening run down there pick up dude, that is what triggers the cutscene.
Which cut scene? Do you remember the time stamp?
@@AgentMeat 4:14, I face tank everyone and get the ones coming over the wall as dude goes down.
@@dw4897 gotcha
So when do you buy the shared materials blueprint?
I typically do it after I’ve completed WONY and have gotten the Keener watch.
I complete all of the NYC content, then fast travel back to Washington and buy it at that point.
Having said that, if your resource level are not near max (9999) and you are using this method of starting from level 1 before going to NYC, it doesn’t really matter if you but it before or after.
Where it comes into play is when you are at or near max for resources. You can actually push your resources over the maximum. If this is your goal, finish WONY, spend the scavenging points as desired, then buy the blueprint. Your new characters resources will be merged with your existing pot of resources and the totals can increase beyond 9999 so that no resources are lost.
I plan on doing that this weekend so I can bump my expertise level up a few points before the new season drops on Tuesday.
So do you suggest just doing WONY with a new character versus your main?
In order to reach level 40, and ou must complete the WNY DLC and defeat Keener. After that, you can take advantage of the shared watch levels by running a new character through. When you complete the DLC, the new character instantly gets the same watch levels as your main character so you will have the ability to obtain materials from the scavenging points.
If doing all the grinding and level again for a second character, then how is that going to help to fast level up the shd watch, tho? And resources while i can do that with the same first character with the same time that i'm leveling up a character that i won't be using!
Ps: i don't have NY expansion and i don't plan to do so even though i'm an og division player since the first title and i don't like to put real money after buying once and i don't like dlc's and expansions!
Your watch levels are shared across all characters in your account. Now that you no longer need the DLC to reach level 40 and access the Keener watch, this means you can instantly tap into the pool of Scavenging points on a new character.
800 points are set aside for the 4 attributes (Offensive, Defensive, Utility and Handling) but the remainder sit in Scavenging.
You can instantly use these scavenging points for optimization or expertise.
The caveat is that your watch level must be high enough to make this worthwhile. The general consensus is the optimal time to start running a watch mule is after you reach watch level 1800.
@AgentMeat okey i see so it must be shd 1800 to get it worked
Is making an agent just to run the dark zone at level 30 a good idea? I have heard you avoid the rogue agents that just want to nick your acquired gear.
It is a good idea as the level 30 DZ has a much lower population than the Level 40 DZ. The probability of having someone go Rogue on you is lower but it still does happen.
@@AgentMeat it's happened twice but also I've had someone revive me when I was tackling a monument alone.
@@andrewhacker5034 yeah, it’s a much more civilized experience than the level 40 DZ
@@AgentMeatCan the loot obtained in the DZ Lv30 be re/converted to be able to use it on my main character Lv40 SHD? Like the exclusive weapons of the DZ🤔
@@AZ-dj1ni Normal weapons or gear no, exotics could be reconfigured to 40 and used by your level 40 character. What you can do though is farm DZ resources, extract, then claim the extractions with your 40 character.
how do I keep my agents apparel the same so it doesn't change when you chamge gear pieces
The gear pieces all have their own visualization however, when you go to the “mod” menu for each individual gear piece, you can modify the appearance of each piece. This should allow you to mod each piece so it views the way you want.
hi and how do you farm for so much resources just by looting every crate you find or dit you find another way decontructing everything you get ??
Hi Carl. The resources come from my watch levels when I create a new character and then complete the WONY DLC. My current watch level is approximately 4900 which gives 4100 watch levels to spend on Scavenging points. This allows me to top up my resources directly or to access credits to purchase weapons, gear or mods to break down for receiver components, protective fabric and printer filament.
@@AgentMeat is it better to start with this after you reach level 1000? so every point goes to scavaging ?
@@carl7368 it depends on your needs. At Watch level 1000, you will still loose 800 points to the outer 4 quadrants of the watch so you will have 200 points in scavenging. The higher your watch level the better the return on your investment of time; it takes me about 4 hours to complete WONY solo. I feel there is better return on the investment of time doing WONY than just scavenging the open world for resources and running missions if I need crafting or optimization resources. I started doing WONY on a regular basis somewhere around watch level 700.
OK, I'll think about it I'm watch level 350 now and I did a lot longer over wony but that was in the beginning I'm getting better. Thnx for your time and keep it up with the vids.
@@carl7368 the other side of the equation is how many watch levels can you go up in the same amount of time farming watch levels doing open world activities. Which activity benefits you more? I can’t answer that for you. With a good build, on Hard with 4 directives, you can gain watch levels pretty efficiently with minimal downtime. The area around the Washington Monument is very time efficient as there are a lot of activities spaced fairly close together.
So as a player who played when warlords came out then haven’t played since I just got back into the game and deleted my presaved loadouts so I can kinda start fresh, what does this actually do as in why do you need to do this ? No other video explains this and my mates don’t play anymore so I’m even more confused with this strategy?
Your SHD watch levels apply to every character once the character has completed Warlords of New York. This strategy is applicable to players whose watch level is over 1000. In my case, my current watch level is approximately 2800. When I complete WONY, I will have 2800 SHD levels to spend. 800 are reserved for the various skill blocks which leaves the balance of 2000 available to be spent on scavenging points.
This allows you to top up your materials (steel, titanium etc) field recon data, and other resources that are scarce in the world. It also can be used to add currency to the new character. This can be used to buy pistols from a vendor (pistols are the least expensive weapon) which can then be disassembled for receiver components and other resources. 50 scavenging points equates to $500,000 which equates to approximately 92 pistols. This yields approximately 2800 receiver components.
It’s an efficient trade off of time vs reward to provide the resources for optimization and/or Expertise levelling; provided your watch level is high enough.
@@AgentMeat ohhhh wow ok that is a really cool, so for myself I only got to 182 ? Watch level is this not worth doing u till my main character is a lot higher ?
@@ther3aperr558 correct. You will get some scavenging points at your current level but your time would be better spent gathering resources while you’re levelling up your watch. My power quit last night which put me behind my planned schedule. I should have a new video out tonight or tomorrow morning that talks about Expertise and how to efficiently level that up while you’re playing.
@@AgentMeat oh damn that sucks well I’ll defo be waiting for the notification to watch that video , thank you for the help man really appreciate someone explaining it to me 😁

I don't have the options "New Agent" and "Hardcore agent" in my Home page so I don't know how to create another character.
The only thing I can think of is that you already have 4 Agents created. If that’s not the case, I’m not sure what advice to offer.
doesn't sharing the resources after level 40 force you to spend 800 points towards the stats? instead of keeping them all for scavenging... i typically exhaust my resources, boost a character, share everything then run through new york and I'm able to spend all of my points on resources. might not matter for someone with really high shd but for someone around 800-1000 it would be a big waste of time imo, having to spend those on stats you'll never use.
Sharing resources does not affect the 800 points that are reserved for your watch attributes. These are set aside from your total regardless of whether you share resources or not. If you are under watch level 1000, this is not the most efficient way to farm resources; your time is better spent farming resource convoys and/or farming control points on Challenging or higher difficulty to gain both watch levels and blueprints.
Level 1 boost to 30, do the project weekly donation and get the exotic!
It would probably only add another 5-10 mins on the run if you need to go out and farm for water, components or food. Not a bad idea at all considering how important exotic components are past expertise level 10

@@dw4897 good advice. I’ve got all those on my level 30 character so I could use them for this run.

@@AgentMeat having a level 40 character with you, helps your level to 40. Under 40, 5 or 6 hundred points, over 40 1 thousand points. That is why when you solo ny you are not 40 for keener.

😄
How do you use a character as a Mule
The basic premise is to create a character and use its 150 “backpack” storage as additional storage for interesting gear or weapons. Maybe pieces that you aren’t currently using but don’t want to deconstruct. If you’re going to do that, you may as well boost the character to level 30 and run them through WONY. If your watch level is over 1000, every time you level up, the mule will get a point in Scavenging. This allows you to collect even more scavenging resources.
@@AgentMeatOh well... thanks for giving the answer, I'm currently SHD 670. At least I'll believe for the DZ Lv30👍
What is the lvl 30 character for?
Three reasons. One is for clan XP for the world tier 5 challenges.
The second is, my clan has a lot of new or returning players who are under level 40. This allows less scaling when I join them.
The last is for farming the DZ. The level 30 DZ is not as populous as the level 40 DZ so you tend to get fewer rogue encounters. You can farm for the DZ resources, extract then log out when you’re done. You then log back in on your level 40 and claim the extracted DZ resources from the cache inbox.
The level 30 gets the targeted loot and any well rolled gear plus any DZ resources from the blue boxes. The Level 40 gets the DZ resources from the deconstructed gear. Both get to buy from the DZ vendors.
Oh ok. Thank you
@@AgentMeatWhat is the world tier 5 challenge?
@@AZ-dj1ni they are weekly clan objectives that give you Clan XP. Clan XP is earned toward weekly clan caches.
This still works?
Yes. I ran a character through late last week.
@@AgentMeat i am tryna get to level 1000 at 530 currently when do you recommend doing this method ?
@@Nasserr2 it works at any level but the return on time invested is better the higher your watch level. At your current level, you will get approximately 106 SHD levels you can use for scavenging points. It takes 3-4 hours to run a new character through New York. I can’t answer if that is worth your time but if you need materials for recalibration, it may be worth it to you.
A lot of people recommend waiting until your watch level is more than 2500 but one of my clan mates started doing this at about your watch level. I started doing it right around SHD level 1000
@@AgentMeat nah I guess i’ll wait untill i hit 1000 and start optimising builds
Why do grown men play as little girls?
To quote a friend. “If I’m going to stare at the back of a character, I’m going to enjoy the view.” For me, I alternate for my mule characters and I have chosen to use a completely different secondary character for some of my videos to differentiate between my main with watch levels and my secondary with no watch levels applied.
@@AgentMeat ok
Everyone keep saying they get it done in 2 hours solo. I don't see how I tried and it doesn't happen. They end up with a lot of stuff in the way and if you don't stop and pick up any supplies or loot you still can't get it done in 2 hours with level 30 something gear and said something I'm missing
You’re not wrong. The quickest I’ve managed is about 2 1/2 hours in a group of 2 where the other agent was a level 40 “Shepard”.
Solo this takes me about 4 hours.
