I would say one tip is learn how your oppent plays. It usually takes you dying once but within that moment I am able to determine what build is being used, how its being used, when they push or pull back and if they are group reliant.

I've been playing the division daylly since it's launch day and never really enjoyed pvp. It's the first time I felt any kind of desire to engage in it. Good job!
@@RogueGold I will. Starting farming for some gear pieces I think I need to get in there with at least a chance. All the times I went into the DZ with friends I played medic so I've got no gear pvp focused. Anyway just wanted you to know your work on this video was appreciated.
@@aggielucero2784I bet you play ghost recon :-) Yep some things could be fun, like the ability to make more moves, lying flat, crawling, climbing. All the possibilities you talked about but with a realistic approach on what you could carry with you at any moment.
It has 0 balance, nothing like div 1 , if I want to pvp I go back to div 1 , well really I go back to div 1 for everything as it's way better in every aspect
Same I been playing since day one of division one ( I miss the old school DZ so much) but after not playing div 2 for over a year and getting back into it videos like this are life savers (literally in game) to get you back up to speed with the meta/gameplay etc, big thanks
I love the division 1 and 2 ESPECIALLY 2. When I started PVP I immediately stopped because I wasn't use to everything I shoot at feels like I'm shooting with airsoft rounds but after userstanding it a bit more and being patient forcing myself to get use to it and understanding builds I fell in love. Believe it or not I still hit Division 1 but 2 is where it's at.
this is how I feel but for me I think it’s even worse because coming from destiny the ttk is so quick and I can’t get used to shooting somebody with a full mag of a shotgun and they don’t die or I get dunked on by someone hiding behind a shield
Phenomenal explanation, I was pretty decent on the pvp spectrum, but this video still helped out a lot and with the proper knowledge of the downsides of your builds, you can definitely strategically play around those weaknesses and force opponents into situations where your build dominates, overall 10/10 guide with easy to understand examples of your topics and even build tips to help newer players.
Here is an overlooked setting. We sometimes are forced to shoot through loot drops and it can make visibility terrible. Making loot beam visible>off will make it a very narrow beam which will make visibility 99% better. What this does is allow us to see through the loot beams without having to aim down sight, they are always the size as when aiming.
i honestly get discouraged by PVP, and dark zone, i always just get killed so easily so i dont really enjoy it because i havent put 200 hours into the game building gear and what not
Probably late, but I am a former PVE main, I watched this to try to learn PVP for the DZ, and I went on a manhunt, and had a lot of adrenaline, and the most fun I've had gaming in a long time! Thank you so much for making this guide!
great video champ. Long, but great. My biggest bit of advice to players is just give it ago. The only way to learn is to try and please don't resort to cheesy status effects if you die once. Its a game, don't be scared of dying. Learn the games mechanics and adjust settings and even builds to suit yourself. Understand everyone in the game is at different levels of ability, and every dog has their day. You might be on top today but get farmed tomorrow, its just the way it is, no one is unbeatable. But tbh just have fun, because that why we all game, to have fun.
Man, I appreciate you doing this bro. I'm shd 2500 but struggle in the DZ. Some of the tactics i know, but you definitely taught me a few things with this video. Keep doing what you do brother 👍👍
Thanks for the video! I'm a graduate! I've been playing solo for going on two years now and only recently decided to put some work in a DZ build. I've touched on some of your suggestions, but you certainly revealed many more. Above all, thanks for your talent at concisely explaining things in a way that everyone can understand. It is clear when people don't actually care if others are helped or not and you obviously really do care about the rest of us. I hope you continue with your educational videos man!
Late comment here but I've always been more of a PvE kind of player and I always thought the PvP in this game looked really iffy and like something I wouldn't enjoy. But I recently got into playing conflict and I been having a blast despite me running my PvE builds at 1st lol I found out quick that I needed some tips and this video helped me a lot thank you a lot for it. I personally still am against going rogue in the DZ I just kind of view it as a trolly dick move to do, I dedicated a lot of my time in Division 1 to protecting players from Rogues but I do enjoy conflict quite a bit now, though I still am more partial to the PvE side of things
So helpful! Thank you so much for doing this video. I feel encouraged to give it more of a go. I am not a fan of PVP in general because I always felt it so unfair especially for beginners. I have been playing for about 4 or 5 months and only attempted the Dark Zone twice now. But you have encouraged me to go back. I especially found the loadout information the most help. I have to work on getting the gear I need to change things up but over time I will get a better understanding of what I need to know and do. Thank you!
I know this is two year old video but the way described the dark zone and PVP the difference between them. That was actually really good. I have just been wondering why when I try to play PVP I’m just so bad at it I mean so bad but other games I’m usually on the top of the leaderboard, but it’s because people are exploiting And stuff like that and I don’t understand when it comes to pvp but pve it can literally play. On heroic solo.
As far as builds run whatever you have to.. The people crying about it will be Cartharsis, Everyday carrier , shotgun 0layers who door camp run away and medkit push... Its so played out lol. So if you catch a sticky, you catch a sticky. Gotta love when there is 4 of them running the same exact build or with one healer lol. Given the state of the game now and the "damage tank meta" its whatever lol...
Im not sure if you still reply to comments, but is it possible to beat 6000 plus level players if your level is 978? Im close to being maxed out but not there yet. Also if my expertise isnt 20 plus will that also lock me out of winning? I ask this because i know that will take forever to level and can be quite discouraging to engage in darkzone vs thieves.
I reply to as many comments as I can! 😄 Once you hit 1,000 SHD then you're good on that system, every subsequent level provides a small health boost but it's unnoticeable. Expertise does have a wider effect, but even if you're able to get 5-10 levels on that system that'll close the gap enough for you to be competitive 👍
I’m that one crazy SOB who runs 6 red 4 piece hackstep lady death and glass cannon and 99.99% I lose every battle. That .01% seeing someone get absolutely destroyed is the best feeling ever 😂
needed this video more than anything. I went to DZ a couple times but got my ass handed to me every time, and now i'm scared to go back. XD but i guess now is the right time to properly learn it, at level 400+... because if not now, when? ;p I'm not very good I think, at least i die a lot to other players, so I always avoid confrontation, and even then someone finds me and shreds me.
I was an avid DZ hater but me and 3 buds, one of which was brand new with less than a day of play time and yet we went into DZE has a successful 25 minutes and now I’m thinking of running DZ more often Edit: I was already level 45 at the time and I have had good runs when I was by myself, but I hated it, until I had my three idiot friends and somehow we had a good run until we found a Rogue duo that killed us for really no reason, we had no loot. I got mad messaged him, and we ended on a good note somehow lmao
I’m here because I’m tired of being targeted as a shit player when I do pvp. I’m here to learn and actually become the villain. I vow to get good at pvp just to ruin others experience. It’s all I’ve experienced in this game.
I love the dark zone but I don’t love the fact that every time I run into a group of 4 I get killed immediately even if I don’t have any loot. If I have loot it’s more understandable but a 4v1 is fucked up so I usually avoid it.
Thanks for the video still not the biggest fan of the darkzone because of the skill gap but once I level up I will be back os there an advantage of being rogue
Hey man, I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for this video. I've always been interested in the "test" of pvp but the complexity of it was a definite turn off. This answered just about all if my questions and set me in a direction. Big thanks!!! #salute
I'm pretty weak in PvP, always wondered what piece of brands people were using and why, this video explains that perfectly. Thank you :) Will try out some of these tips in the future
I just graduated from your course I reached the end. Thank you for taking the time and showing your experience tips for a better enjoyment of the dark zone. Good clear and concise video of the best I've seen for pvp in Division 2. regards !!
Hey Rougethanks for taking the time to read this if you do How do players run/strafe as quick as they do as your shooting them? I'm probably not asking the ?? Right nor describing the movement correct when engaging some not very many jerk repeatedly very fast from side to side and let's say when they kill you there character puts there hand down on the ground and does thos jerky circle type movement? Many say it's a macro. Just the same as they invert your controller if you wipe their a$$. I'm on console xbox. I have the need Core 2 controller can anyone fill me in on hoe to do it or is it a cheat if so how to combat it thanks
Some people just have very twitchy movements and high sensitivities to be able to strafe adeptly during combat. I believe there are scripts/addons that allow some people to do this more egregiously, I don't really know anything about that though as I don't use them myself, they're considered cheating. I believe you can also use M&K on Console which would improve movement potential. As for the on-the-ground circle movement you describe, that actually can be done without any modifications. It involves heavily spamming your sprint button while moving fully in one direction.
Alright lemme just say I haven't even seen the entire video yet but with that intro and the respect and passion you showed I have to sub to you. Well done my dude.
Great video. Getting back into Div 2. But playing DZ and Conflict mainly to get better. My movement is biggest weakness. Builds are perfect. Just being out positioned and manoeuvred currently. Thanks for the info it’s helping me loads.
@@RogueGold these groups at proficiency 20/21 are no joke if you’re low yourself. They hit hard and take a punch. I still don’t after years see how some players move so fast and turn on a dime.
Man, so many things I want to comment on regarding this video, ALL good. First off, thank you! You’ve answered A LOT of my questions. I’ve been a fairly passive, solo campaign player for the almost year or so that I’ve played 1 & 2. I finally broke down and bought the year pass, am doing a little team work and on the 30th floor of Summit. I’ve barely ventured into the DZ because although I’m high enough level, nearly everyone who’s there already will easily kill me in a second. A big part of that is just not knowing about builds, good strategies and not playing on a team much. There’s so many of the acronyms and slang that I don’t know that I’ve paused game play a lot to look stuff up. I think I’ve done pretty well on my own and know most of the unstated “rules” but this vid has filled in a lot of the blanks, particularly now that I’ve done the campaign long enough that it’s getting repetitive and boring. So much so that I go back to 1 to play Survival and the other side stuff. I’m really looking forward to getting home tonight and doing your recommended build! One question though-does the build stand up against campaign play bad guys/Summit as well as it does in PVP? Thank you man, hope to go against you some day in the DZ just for fun!
Super glad it helped out, thank you for the kind words! The build is definitely fine-tuned for PVP. It will absolutely work and perform well in PVE activities, but there are probably some slight changes I would make if I were going to focus it on PVE
That's why movement and playmaking is so vital! You have to use the tools at your disposal to mitigate the quick TTK. 2M armor unfortunately doesn't matter much if somebody is running a full damage Glass Cannon build, you'll still die in 10 shots.
Hopefully the guide helped out somewhat! Here are links to my most current and tested PVP builds: ruclips.net/video/wfhdCDk5U5E/видео.html | ruclips.net/video/5ISwLc3aO48/видео.html
Got rogued’ on 5 time in a row and 3 exotic weapons taken away on the same day by different people and groups across 3 different dark zones taken me here to this video just to know how to defend myself.
@RogueGold i feel yah. I have tried pvp and i have strong builds but i go to extract gear and people walk up, pop rogue, and smoke me... no skill in that and not much defense when it happens that quickly. I dont wish they took pvp away, but would like both options available. Still, like and appreciate your continued content.
@Russel Frazier Thank you! And I fully appreciate and respect your take. For me it's not even for the sanctity of PVP, it's just that I don't see a way in which adding a PVE Dark Zone won't completely kill the original version. It's not meant to be a PVP brawl zone- and I've never wanted it to be that (as much as it is these days), it's meant to be the best spot to farm in the game, coming alongside the risk of PVP. If you add the same concept into the game without the risk of PVP, then only those who want to PVP would go the original one- and then you might as well remove every landmark and NPC from in there because it's just an open world PVP zone.
Well done mate, this is a really good comprehensive guide. I’ve been going more and more into the DZ, I love it more and more. I’ve even learnt something from this guide. I’m no pvp expert by any stretch of the imagination, but as you say, getting in there is half the battle. Keep doing what you do Rogue.
Amazing guide. Today I played a lot of dz with teamates from the clan. I could kill even 1vs2 and survive thanks to your advices (Fight after healing) but the best I had. 6 guys where follow me almost 2 minutes and I was still running using environment as you said 🤣🤣 They almost made me cry of fun.
Very good points only thing I'd say is CURRENTLY, Contractors, Foxs, Coyotes, Unbreakable, In Sync, Adrenaline Rush, and Shield are IDEAL for beginners because it essentially carries the player 100%. Contractors, Foxs and Coyotes give the damage without having to think about anything (just land your shots). Adrenaline Rush gives you bonus armor for well.. Standing next to the opponent. Of course what you said about Unbreakable. Then the shield goes with the damage aspect of things. A skilled player can kill with ANYTHING, a ehh player is RELIANT on a "carry me build" Situational Awareness is the best piece of info this whole video.
Eh rogue I’ve played against you and nova before my gamer tag is roguehunter7848 wondering if you guys have spots open in your clan looking for people to play with, also I’m over 6k shd very active, pvp experienced and level 16 expertise
Div 1 patches 1.3 -1.5 was where the pvp was at its bes, the mechanics and motor control everything felt so good 😢 now I can’t even hip fire and I feel like a big lunky brute playing Div 2 it’s horrible
Thanks for the video but...when my first experiences with pvp were getting invited to a group..then everyone disbanding, going rogue and killing me over and over again, you can probably understand why I would think its nothing but shit and toxicity.....I would love to have a decent opportunity at trying it but it's probably never going to happen.
The best way for beginners for dz is to play the dz and figure it out by dying over and over. That's how you get good by pvping. No build guide will ever help u because you need to find what works for you and your game style of playing.
I watched it fully as I want to get my last trophies legit. I am not sure if that build is still good today but I have the clue now how to build for PvP. Now just to get kills on those rogue agents in every DZ and hijack extraction... wish my good hunting ;)
Good luck! The build I show in there is still generally a good one, with a few tweaks made over time. This videos shows one of my most up-to-date favorites: ruclips.net/video/wfhdCDk5U5E/видео.html
Hey since the excursions is coming back yo why not put clear sky or dragon's nest falcons lost in Ny ny .... Would b kinda fun too run with up too date graphics
I don't think that would be impossible for them to do, but realistically re-making that old content and porting it into the current engine would require a lot of work, and for the Dev team there's probably not much incentive for doing that when they could spend a comparable amount of resources just making new Incursions and other completely new experiences.
This was a really well put together guide. I've dabbled into Division's PVP both in Div 1 & 2. It's been a lot of fun when I go looking for it, though it can be annoying at times too. Seems these days most PVPers will ignore the PVE players that are just farming landmarks which is pretty nice. Let's everyone just kinda experience what the DZ has.
Pvp has never been a strong suit of mine but, I hate coming into this game so late and trying to start lvling up my dark zone exp and just clearing land marks to do that, and then someone comes up behind me non rouge so i dont see them come up and then dont flag and i die. It is just very frustrating because i am still working on getting a build pvp ready, but i just got to the endgame, so i am still farming my gear that i need.
There's lots of better places to farm for an endgame and PVP build besides the Dark Zone, in my opinion. Check this video out if you haven't heard about Countdown! 👉 ruclips.net/video/DTtg5xQqlZE/видео.htmlsi=hjS2WVk3DrAPeLyF
Conflict player here, and on one of the more dominant teams. Conflict does suck for many people, especially new players. But what I will say to add, is movement in conflict is also critical, the same rules apply there as do in DZ mostly. Where it differs is the environment, there's realistically not a lot of places you can run or hide, you do need to stay and fight most of the time since your options to retreat are low. There's basically only at most 3 pathways from any place, often narrowing into a choke point. So the good teams know these choke points and will trap you there as you retreat. This is a frustrating point and where many will start accusing of cheating (walls, etc.).
10:45 the only statistical advantage that you gain going higher than 1,000 is health. Every watch level above 1000 gives you additional health. It's not much. It seems to average out about an extra 3% health every 1,000 watch level. It would be nice if it was more like 5% increase every 1000 Watch level. That would give veteran players a bit more incentive to keep playing the game knowing that there is some benefit to having a higher watch level.
I've been playing division since the first one and I love the concept of the dark zone of the franchise but I just yea I had a bad time with pvp I always felt like it was unbalanced I get one or 2 shot by people but felt like the dz is the best place to get gear but I'm a easy target unless I really can put the time in I been watching your channel to help me get back into the game tho I havnt played in a year so I'm looking forward to going into it with more knowledge I don't even know how alot of systems work like the expertise system and such
Thank you! I havnt played since the season where it was about rescuing people that got kidnapped I think it was mendezes gf or something so I'm a bit out of the loop with the story my question is can I get answers to stuff I missed since then in game or do I need to look on RUclips? I was more a casual player just doing pve and doing the whole grind missions and battle passes and such I felt so weak all the time so I'm hoping this time around I'm gonna look into your content for some builds that can help me feel stronger and maybe try to learn systems that would increase my power level on stuff even more if possible is that like crafting or something? I'm not sure I always felt weak to do stuff over hard difficulty
I can't recall if I answered any of these on stream, but here's links that should help answer most of that: Legacy Manhunt System (story catch-up): ruclips.net/video/-FPS5GflEAs/видео.htmlsi=vAYEw0_pvZx3mrBK Top 2024 Recommended Builds: ruclips.net/video/z3YH2OamSfs/видео.htmlsi=myvKYMvVMzYD7ZBP Expertise Breakdown (for extra power): ruclips.net/video/TTnyZXMwHu4/видео.htmlsi=CWG5SndMXoExJYG2
You did I was in the stream and asked and you did so thanks again man! And thank u even more for the links! I been more of a casual player and didn't really know anyone to help me with stuff I been a solo player mostly so I found you on RUclips and it's been alot of help! I think the first video I watched was like one about explaining how the loot works and it made things make more sense for me
Сделай пожалуйста плейлист с облучающими видео, чтобы было проще искать необходимые видео. Я не знаю английского языка и мне трудно искать информацию. Спасибо) И хотелось бы увидеть что-то интересное про коррупцию в системе, так как очень нравится билд и принципы игры с ним и вариации)
I have played Division since the original game was launched. PVP was brilliant in Division1 and used to be in a team doing twitch and live Stream. I love doing solo against teams or just two man team. It is quite thrilling and fun. But the longer the game moved on the more team orientated the game became. It was originally advertised as a game which could be played solo or teams but it became more difficult. I do love this game you are correct. The cronus max ruined Div 1 and we spent all our time finding and killing these people.
Glad you asked, it's MOSTLY still a good build, but my most up-to-date and favorite PVP build can be found here: ruclips.net/video/wfhdCDk5U5E/видео.html I'm also planning on releasing an updated PVP build next week, so stay tuned!
From someone who's been at a lower shd for like- 2 years? Because I played warlords since it's launch but I'm still only SHD 101, any recommendations for leveling up?

New player. Like level 15 new. Can I still pvp or go into that area with players around my level? Or there is no level matchmaking.

great video champ. Long, but great. My biggest bit of advice to players is just give it ago. The only way to learn is to try and please don't resort to cheesy status effects if you die once. Its a game, don't be scared of dying.
Learn the games mechanics and adjust settings and even builds to suit yourself.
Understand everyone in the game is at different levels of ability, and every dog has their day. You might be on top today but get farmed tomorrow, its just the way it is, no one is unbeatable.

Its so played out lol.
So if you catch a sticky, you catch a sticky. Gotta love when there is 4 of them running the same exact build or with one healer lol.
Given the state of the game now and the "damage tank meta" its whatever lol...
Thank you for putting this guide together my dude! Great overview of basic PVP tactics and rationale. Well done
Super glad you enjoyed, thanks!!
Im not sure if you still reply to comments, but is it possible to beat 6000 plus level players if your level is 978? Im close to being maxed out but not there yet.
Also if my expertise isnt 20 plus will that also lock me out of winning? I ask this because i know that will take forever to level and can be quite discouraging to engage in darkzone vs thieves.
I reply to as many comments as I can! 😄 Once you hit 1,000 SHD then you're good on that system, every subsequent level provides a small health boost but it's unnoticeable. Expertise does have a wider effect, but even if you're able to get 5-10 levels on that system that'll close the gap enough for you to be competitive 👍
I’m that one crazy SOB who runs 6 red 4 piece hackstep lady death and glass cannon and 99.99% I lose every battle. That .01% seeing someone get absolutely destroyed is the best feeling ever 😂
Another important detail in playing PvP in DZ is having a gamepad, I believe. Keyboard and mouse really suck.
needed this video more than anything. I went to DZ a couple times but got my ass handed to me every time, and now i'm scared to go back. XD but i guess now is the right time to properly learn it, at level 400+... because if not now, when? ;p I'm not very good I think, at least i die a lot to other players, so I always avoid confrontation, and even then someone finds me and shreds me.
Thx for the Video. Still think that PVP in the Division just brutaley sucks. If I want PVP I will play COD or BF.
Nothing wrong with that!
I was an avid DZ hater but me and 3 buds, one of which was brand new with less than a day of play time and yet we went into DZE has a successful 25 minutes and now I’m thinking of running DZ more often
Edit: I was already level 45 at the time and I have had good runs when I was by myself, but I hated it, until I had my three idiot friends and somehow we had a good run until we found a Rogue duo that killed us for really no reason, we had no loot. I got mad messaged him, and we ended on a good note somehow lmao
I’m here because I’m tired of being targeted as a shit player when I do pvp. I’m here to learn and actually become the villain. I vow to get good at pvp just to ruin others experience. It’s all I’ve experienced in this game.
I love the dark zone but I don’t love the fact that every time I run into a group of 4 I get killed immediately even if I don’t have any loot. If I have loot it’s more understandable but a 4v1 is fucked up so I usually avoid it.
Thanks nova much appreciated 🇺🇦🏴💙
Does anyone else prefer watching as opposed to doing pvp? Like yeah it looks really cool and whatnot but thats not for me
Talking shit to each other is the best part of the PVP in the DZ and that's coming from someone who has over 4000hrs into the game.
Thanks for the video still not the biggest fan of the darkzone because of the skill gap but once I level up I will be back os there an advantage of being rogue
I haven't got into PvP yet... I just enjoy playing the game.. the rest dont make since to me yet.. 😆 dnt need the DZ at this point..
Hey man, I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for this video. I've always been interested in the "test" of pvp but the complexity of it was a definite turn off. This answered just about all if my questions and set me in a direction. Big thanks!!!
#salute
Really happy to hear that. I hope you enjoy your time with it!
I'm pretty weak in PvP, always wondered what piece of brands people were using and why, this video explains that perfectly. Thank you :) Will try out some of these tips in the future
I'm so glad! Good luck!
The Keener bonus and trying to get good rolls for a pvp build keeps me out of pvp in this game.
Haha I don’t have friends to play with because i am a little younger
I just graduated from your course I reached the end. Thank you for taking the time and showing your experience tips for a better enjoyment of the dark zone. Good clear and concise video of the best I've seen for pvp in Division 2.
regards !!
Thank you very much. So happy to help!
A bit late on this video,but great guide,really made me look forward to getting back into the game again. Got my sub and like 👍.
Thank you so much man, glad you enjoyed!
Love the passion you give off in this video, there is little I love more than passionate people working on the things they love
Appreciate that a lot, I am very passionate about The Division indeed!
The amount of people in the dz who use slurs because you used a build they dislike is funny
Great guide!!!! Thank you for all the guide you made, love your content 👍
Appreciate it!! 🙏
Hey Rougethanks for taking the time to read this if you do How do players run/strafe as quick as they do as your shooting them? I'm probably not asking the ?? Right nor describing the movement correct when engaging some not very many jerk repeatedly very fast from side to side and let's say when they kill you there character puts there hand down on the ground and does thos jerky circle type movement? Many say it's a macro. Just the same as they invert your controller if you wipe their a$$. I'm on console xbox. I have the need Core 2 controller can anyone fill me in on hoe to do it or is it a cheat if so how to combat it thanks
Some people just have very twitchy movements and high sensitivities to be able to strafe adeptly during combat. I believe there are scripts/addons that allow some people to do this more egregiously, I don't really know anything about that though as I don't use them myself, they're considered cheating. I believe you can also use M&K on Console which would improve movement potential.
As for the on-the-ground circle movement you describe, that actually can be done without any modifications. It involves heavily spamming your sprint button while moving fully in one direction.
Watching this AGAIN for the IDK how many times... How about a refreshed version of this video?
Takes a ton of work, but I am planning on a sort of half refresh in a Conflict-oriented beginners guide!
I stopped playing dz pvp in division 1 bc someone was exploiting
Alright lemme just say I haven't even seen the entire video yet but with that intro and the respect and passion you showed I have to sub to you. Well done my dude.
That means a lot, thank you very much!
I don't play pvp because I don't know how to build. Weapons, armor. Watch RUclips still no luck.
I had a section specifically dedicated to that in this guide! 23:22
Thanks, learned a few things.
Glad to hear it!!
Great video. Getting back into Div 2. But playing DZ and Conflict mainly to get better. My movement is biggest weakness. Builds are perfect. Just being out positioned and manoeuvred currently. Thanks for the info it’s helping me loads.
Super glad to hear it, keep pushing!
@@RogueGold these groups at proficiency 20/21 are no joke if you’re low yourself. They hit hard and take a punch. I still don’t after years see how some players move so fast and turn on a dime.
Man, so many things I want to comment on regarding this video, ALL good. First off, thank you! You’ve answered A LOT of my questions. I’ve been a fairly passive, solo campaign player for the almost year or so that I’ve played 1 & 2. I finally broke down and bought the year pass, am doing a little team work and on the 30th floor of Summit. I’ve barely ventured into the DZ because although I’m high enough level, nearly everyone who’s there already will easily kill me in a second. A big part of that is just not knowing about builds, good strategies and not playing on a team much. There’s so many of the acronyms and slang that I don’t know that I’ve paused game play a lot to look stuff up. I think I’ve done pretty well on my own and know most of the unstated “rules” but this vid has filled in a lot of the blanks, particularly now that I’ve done the campaign long enough that it’s getting repetitive and boring. So much so that I go back to 1 to play Survival and the other side stuff. I’m really looking forward to getting home tonight and doing your recommended build! One question though-does the build stand up against campaign play bad guys/Summit as well as it does in PVP? Thank you man, hope to go against you some day in the DZ just for fun!
Super glad it helped out, thank you for the kind words! The build is definitely fine-tuned for PVP. It will absolutely work and perform well in PVE activities, but there are probably some slight changes I would make if I were going to focus it on PVE
@@RogueGold cool, thank you!
I always play alone cause people are so mean online 😤
Спасибо за видео. И теперь я готов! Увидимся к темной зоне) by SUFLEX
Your boy was so squishy, he probably realized why y'all cook players in the DZ when he started feeling those bullets haha
Thanks as always for the work...
Thanks for watching!
I’ve been playing the division from day one, I still get slaughtered in the Dark Zone. I could have 2 million armor and get melted every time.
That's why movement and playmaking is so vital! You have to use the tools at your disposal to mitigate the quick TTK. 2M armor unfortunately doesn't matter much if somebody is running a full damage Glass Cannon build, you'll still die in 10 shots.
I would love to play PvP with my friend because he loves pvp but I just have no build to kill anyone or survive in a 1v1 fight but all around fun tho.
Hopefully the guide helped out somewhat! Here are links to my most current and tested PVP builds: ruclips.net/video/wfhdCDk5U5E/видео.html | ruclips.net/video/5ISwLc3aO48/видео.html
Got rogued’ on 5 time in a row and 3 exotic weapons taken away on the same day by different people and groups across 3 different dark zones taken me here to this video just to know how to defend myself.
Really hope it helps!
Awesome Bro👍 it helped me out and I watched to the very end.
Awesome to hear!
How do you play when I go solo and 4 fully optimized players cone out of hiding at the last second and steal my loot in the DZ???
It's tough to pull off anything beyond a 1v1 in this game, so it requires you to be ultra-alert so that you know when to fight, and when to run
This video should be required viewing in cut scene at the White House and Base of Operations in Div1 #TrueGold
❤️❤️
What about DZ as a solo player?? Is it possible??? Can u do DZ with a crit damage build??
I run solo PVP at the end of the video with a crit build! All of the ingredients are in here, use the timestamps to skip around
Really wish they had made aDZ that is pve only. Love the environment, but don't get down with pvp. Been wishing for that since division 1.
You won't see me championing for it, but there are plenty who want that alongside you!
@RogueGold i feel yah. I have tried pvp and i have strong builds but i go to extract gear and people walk up, pop rogue, and smoke me... no skill in that and not much defense when it happens that quickly. I dont wish they took pvp away, but would like both options available. Still, like and appreciate your continued content.
@Russel Frazier Thank you! And I fully appreciate and respect your take. For me it's not even for the sanctity of PVP, it's just that I don't see a way in which adding a PVE Dark Zone won't completely kill the original version. It's not meant to be a PVP brawl zone- and I've never wanted it to be that (as much as it is these days), it's meant to be the best spot to farm in the game, coming alongside the risk of PVP. If you add the same concept into the game without the risk of PVP, then only those who want to PVP would go the original one- and then you might as well remove every landmark and NPC from in there because it's just an open world PVP zone.
Weird you play with camera sens lower than ads sens. That’s backwards from how most people do it.
What can I say, I like to be different 😂
Well done mate, this is a really good comprehensive guide. I’ve been going more and more into the DZ, I love it more and more. I’ve even learnt something from this guide. I’m no pvp expert by any stretch of the imagination, but as you say, getting in there is half the battle. Keep doing what you do Rogue.
Thank you so much Richard, love to hear it! See you in the DZ!
This must be the best Division 2 guide i ever watched in my entire life!
That's incredibly kind, thanks :)
Amazing guide. Today I played a lot of dz with teamates from the clan. I could kill even 1vs2 and survive thanks to your advices (Fight after healing) but the best I had. 6 guys where follow me almost 2 minutes and I was still running using environment as you said 🤣🤣 They almost made me cry of fun.
I come looking how to join PvP got 1 hour of talk.
Very good points only thing I'd say is CURRENTLY, Contractors, Foxs, Coyotes, Unbreakable, In Sync, Adrenaline Rush, and Shield are IDEAL for beginners because it essentially carries the player 100%.
Contractors, Foxs and Coyotes give the damage without having to think about anything (just land your shots).
Adrenaline Rush gives you bonus armor for well..
Standing next to the opponent. Of course what you said about Unbreakable.
Then the shield goes with the damage aspect of things.
A skilled player can kill with ANYTHING, a ehh player is RELIANT on a "carry me build"
Situational Awareness is the best piece of info this whole video.
Sheilds are easy to take out tbh.
@@lullie I run concussion on my AK for that very reason. My AK has 60% chc, 205.5% chd, and 80% HSD base before anything is even procd.
It's so funny how some "pvp" players cry about builds but use n-sync +shield like that's not cheesy lol the shield doesn't even proc companion 🤷🏾
@@lincoln9607 I personally do not run In Sync, Shield, Foxs, Coyotes, or Contractors on my pvp build.
@@Hook_em1108 nah I've seen u play...ur an AK guy lol...nah I like ur gameplay u play ur way...not everyone else's 💯
Sooo.....
Deal damage, don't get hit!
Got it.
Been waiting for this one. Thank you for all your hard work Rogue and always helping the community out
Thank you for watching!
Eh rogue I’ve played against you and nova before my gamer tag is roguehunter7848 wondering if you guys have spots open in your clan looking for people to play with, also I’m over 6k shd very active, pvp experienced and level 16 expertise
How would go about high watch level players hunting down low level watch player trying to learn?
The watch levels are a hard thing to substitute, you kind of just have to accept the disadvantage or grind them out before PVP'ing unfortunately.
Div 1 patches 1.3 -1.5 was where the pvp was at its bes, the mechanics and motor control everything felt so good 😢 now I can’t even hip fire and I feel like a big lunky brute playing Div 2 it’s horrible
Emp has never worked on shields for me?
Watching this because I got my ass whooped on my first ever pvp match
You've got this, best of luck!
Thanks for the video but...when my first experiences with pvp were getting invited to a group..then everyone disbanding, going rogue and killing me over and over again, you can probably understand why I would think its nothing but shit and toxicity.....I would love to have a decent opportunity at trying it but it's probably never going to happen.
The best way for beginners for dz is to play the dz and figure it out by dying over and over. That's how you get good by pvping. No build guide will ever help u because you need to find what works for you and your game style of playing.
I watched it fully as I want to get my last trophies legit. I am not sure if that build is still good today but I have the clue now how to build for PvP.
Now just to get kills on those rogue agents in every DZ and hijack extraction... wish my good hunting ;)
Good luck! The build I show in there is still generally a good one, with a few tweaks made over time. This videos shows one of my most up-to-date favorites: ruclips.net/video/wfhdCDk5U5E/видео.html
Hey since the excursions is coming back yo why not put clear sky or dragon's nest falcons lost in Ny ny .... Would b kinda fun too run with up too date graphics
I don't think that would be impossible for them to do, but realistically re-making that old content and porting it into the current engine would require a lot of work, and for the Dev team there's probably not much incentive for doing that when they could spend a comparable amount of resources just making new Incursions and other completely new experiences.
@@RogueGold true sure miss clear sky and after playing two seems so impossible too go back and play anything on the first one
This was a really well put together guide. I've dabbled into Division's PVP both in Div 1 & 2. It's been a lot of fun when I go looking for it, though it can be annoying at times too. Seems these days most PVPers will ignore the PVE players that are just farming landmarks which is pretty nice. Let's everyone just kinda experience what the DZ has.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Pvp has never been a strong suit of mine but, I hate coming into this game so late and trying to start lvling up my dark zone exp and just clearing land marks to do that, and then someone comes up behind me non rouge so i dont see them come up and then dont flag and i die. It is just very frustrating because i am still working on getting a build pvp ready, but i just got to the endgame, so i am still farming my gear that i need.
There's lots of better places to farm for an endgame and PVP build besides the Dark Zone, in my opinion. Check this video out if you haven't heard about Countdown! 👉 ruclips.net/video/DTtg5xQqlZE/видео.htmlsi=hjS2WVk3DrAPeLyF
@RogueGold I farm countdown already, I mean getting my dz lvl up
Conflict player here, and on one of the more dominant teams. Conflict does suck for many people, especially new players. But what I will say to add, is movement in conflict is also critical, the same rules apply there as do in DZ mostly. Where it differs is the environment, there's realistically not a lot of places you can run or hide, you do need to stay and fight most of the time since your options to retreat are low. There's basically only at most 3 pathways from any place, often narrowing into a choke point. So the good teams know these choke points and will trap you there as you retreat. This is a frustrating point and where many will start accusing of cheating (walls, etc.).
Iam loving pvp universe 🙃
Gonna be honest I just wanna know how you’re blowing smoke on your agent 😅
Haha, it's an effect that occurs when you wear the Coyote's Mask exotic 👍
Lol i run status builds if I come across gankz then its over for them ... So much fun
10:45 the only statistical advantage that you gain going higher than 1,000 is health. Every watch level above 1000 gives you additional health. It's not much. It seems to average out about an extra 3% health every 1,000 watch level. It would be nice if it was more like 5% increase every 1000 Watch level. That would give veteran players a bit more incentive to keep playing the game knowing that there is some benefit to having a higher watch level.
Thank you for the reminder, had totally blanked on that since Health is.... well, Health! 😂
I live in the DZ it makes you try different builds that you will never think in PVE
Bro, I played for 20 hours without knowing you could change fov :( thank you man
It's a game changer (literally!) Enjoy!
aim assist normies
no skill
I've been playing division since the first one and I love the concept of the dark zone of the franchise but I just yea I had a bad time with pvp I always felt like it was unbalanced I get one or 2 shot by people but felt like the dz is the best place to get gear but I'm a easy target unless I really can put the time in I been watching your channel to help me get back into the game tho I havnt played in a year so I'm looking forward to going into it with more knowledge I don't even know how alot of systems work like the expertise system and such
Really glad the videos have helped out! Feel free to ask questions in the future if you have them
Thank you! I havnt played since the season where it was about rescuing people that got kidnapped I think it was mendezes gf or something so I'm a bit out of the loop with the story my question is can I get answers to stuff I missed since then in game or do I need to look on RUclips? I was more a casual player just doing pve and doing the whole grind missions and battle passes and such I felt so weak all the time so I'm hoping this time around I'm gonna look into your content for some builds that can help me feel stronger and maybe try to learn systems that would increase my power level on stuff even more if possible is that like crafting or something? I'm not sure I always felt weak to do stuff over hard difficulty
I can't recall if I answered any of these on stream, but here's links that should help answer most of that:
Legacy Manhunt System (story catch-up): ruclips.net/video/-FPS5GflEAs/видео.htmlsi=vAYEw0_pvZx3mrBK

You did I was in the stream and asked and you did so thanks again man! And thank u even more for the links! I been more of a casual player and didn't really know anyone to help me with stuff I been a solo player mostly so I found you on RUclips and it's been alot of help! I think the first video I watched was like one about explaining how the loot works and it made things make more sense for me
Сделай пожалуйста плейлист с облучающими видео, чтобы было проще искать необходимые видео. Я не знаю английского языка и мне трудно искать информацию.
Спасибо)
И хотелось бы увидеть что-то интересное про коррупцию в системе, так как очень нравится билд и принципы игры с ним и вариации)
what about TTK
sometimes I die in a blink of an eye
The game has a fast TTK, you have to tune your build right and know how to move/play in order to stay alive!
I have played Division since the original game was launched. PVP was brilliant in Division1 and used to be in a team doing twitch and live Stream. I love doing solo against teams or just two man team. It is quite thrilling and fun. But the longer the game moved on the more team orientated the game became. It was originally advertised as a game which could be played solo or teams but it became more difficult. I do love this game you are correct. The cronus max ruined Div 1 and we spent all our time finding and killing these people.
Needed this guide new clan wanting to do dark zone rouge hunting big help
Hey is that AR build you suggested still good? Or is there an updated one you run rn! Thanks
Glad you asked, it's MOSTLY still a good build, but my most up-to-date and favorite PVP build can be found here: ruclips.net/video/wfhdCDk5U5E/видео.html
I'm also planning on releasing an updated PVP build next week, so stay tuned!
From someone who's been at a lower shd for like- 2 years? Because I played warlords since it's launch but I'm still only SHD 101, any recommendations for leveling up?
This is my preferred method when grinding levels out! 👉 ruclips.net/video/DTS3wWFuqNg/видео.html
Great stuff. Thanks a lot. I really liked the gameplay with commentary at the end.
Glad you enjoyed, thank you for watching!
