The best part is that he flat out told us earlier in the thread that he'd get to WT1 buy vendor gear to up his GS, hit WWT2, rinse, repeat. So he didn't even really do the gear grind stuff at all, he simply skipped it with vendor loot and then ran to the forum to bitch that it was too fast.
I muted him several pages ago, but I definitely remember him posting this... Funny, oh well. Let him ruin the game for himself.

Maybe on consoles, but on PC, it's one of the most beautiful games on the market hands down.
Game looks great on PS4.

Could really use extra time on these bounty missions, tried three now and ran out of time on all of them, one i died and couldnt get back in time and the other two i couldn't even find the spot i had to go to.

The time limit is only getting to them, once you find them it goes away. And once you die it fails, so there is no going back.

I wonder if a healer build is gonna be viable or even any useful with the Survivalist, the cooldown on the Hive is too much and the Chem is too clunky to use properly.

How long does the Rolley Ball Of Repair last? Might be worth having that with a repair drone as secondary for constant healing.

Just for reference the clan on Xbox has 6 people who even have a gear score and only 2 of them have 450+ or better. Everyone else is well below that. It's the same everywhere else. The overwhelming majority of people are not sitting at WT4 complaining about no content, so just ignore him and let him cry himself to sleep.

for reference also, in the 2nd PS4 clan, i'm the only one in WT4 at the moment lol and i'm not complaining about WT5 since there so many stuff to do in the game for the meantime

"Wtf why is there nothing to do"

I see this 'mentality' on Reddit as well and it never fails to confuse me. What are these people trying to achieve? Are they intentionally trying to ruin the game for themselves?

I'm at WT1 and almost everything can be solo'd still. Sometimes it's tough, sure, the AI is really smart and encounters are tense as hell.

Hard missions can be solo'd, challenging bounties can be solo'd, you just need to be focused and not let the enemies swarm.

And people in the discord are reporting the same all the way to WT4, which sounds great!

Great to hear. While nothing beats community and coordinating with friends, I feel like the solo offers a different experience and nice change of pace. Nice being able to take out enemies quickly. These developers really did an excellent job balancing the game.

Ok, found it. Honestly, feels like crap compared to the normal one....

I thought that too. Though I'm sure I am doing something wrong with the flamethrower turret. Surely if I disable fire it should act like the regular auto-seeking turret? It seems you have to manually target enemies even with fire disabled? Feels like a limited option tbh.

Can any of you vouch for the season pass? I know none of the extra stuff has come out yet but curious about those of you who've done extensive research. This is one of only 2 franchise this gen that I'm considering premier edition for because I see myself playing it for a long ass time. What would I get if I upgraded the game now?

ignorant, sorry. Gold Edition was official early access if you have noticed it. secondly, everyone can play how they want. and third, you conquer the world tiers in 4-6 hours, wow, what a lasting "endgame"!
people should stop excusing this, it is embarassing. they fucked up the progression curve in this game and the end-endgame isn´t in the game with no ETA.

maxing all three specs will take time as well.

not everyone wants all 3 specs maxed though. i have demolitionist maxed and fine it is, i don´t need crossbow or sniper. DZ Rank 50 already done too, so no, there isn´t "a ton to do" when reaching 450 GS. but at this point i don´t care, they fucked it up and i´ll be playing Sekiro in a few days.

Lead a team of elite agents into a post-pandemic Washington D.C. to restore order and prevent the collapse of the city.

In the ruins of Washington, D.C., seven months after the bio attack that kicked off the events of the first game. That means it's set in the summer this time, rather than snowy Manhattan, and the world will be 20 percent larger than The Division 1. Instead of being surrounded by tall buildings, The Division 2 throws you into larger areas that feel much more like an open world.

The first game was set in the midst of a social collapse triggered by poisoned money, The Division 2 is set in a city trying to rebuild and recover. It's still pretty broken up, however, and plants and wildlife are reclaiming abandoned sectors.


You'll face off against a trio of factions:

- Hyenas: drug-fueled chaos-revelers preying on the weak.
- True Sons: a militia who rule by brute force.
- The Outcasts' premise is intriguing: infected individuals were left in the city's makeshift encampments to die. Those that survived have banded together and are now out for vengeance.

A fourth faction, the Black Tusks, could pose the biggest threat. As well-equipped and organized as Division agents, this organization will be introduced as part of The Division 2's endgame, laying siege to city areas at random.

tI1oWa4.jpg


33272143518_035a237e05_o.png

Campaign
Take on The Division's most critical mission yet, where you'll tackle unprecedented dangers as you pull D.C. back from the brink.

CO-OP
Join your friends to take on the game's toughest missions. You'll need all the help you can get.

PvP
Sometimes even fellow agents can't be trusted. Take on other players and prove your combat proficiency.

Dark Zones
With three Dark Zone across Washington D.C., you'll be able to explore unique areas of the city that have been untouched for months. These mysterious, walled-off sections of D.C. offer a fair and intense Player vs. Environment vs. Player experience where anything can happen, and no one can be trusted.

Conflict
Prove your skills against other Division agents in a variety of different player versus player experiences on unique maps not seen anywhere else in The Division 2.

Skirmish details
- Go head to head against another team in the Division's take on classic Team Deathmatch

Domination details
- Capture locations to claim dominance against the other team in this objective based game mode

46233754225_3aa23176e8_o.png

Each Agent will customize the tools and abilities they bring to the field, and the skills you hone in on will have a major impact on your—and the city's—chances of survival.

Assault Drone details
- An unmanned device that can be controlled remotely and sent to unleash a special brand of hell on unwitting enemies.

Chem Launcher details
-The Chem Launcher shoots various chemicals that disperse upon impact. Its effects vary, from explosive vapors and corrosive acids to repairing nano bots – choose wisely and neutralize any situation.

Hive details
- While primarily a defensive tool, the offensive version is called the "Wasp Hive," where small drones are launched to cause devastating effects to targets within an area

Seeker Mine details
Once activated, this mine locks onto the closest enemy target in range and rolls along the ground in their direction, detonating when it gets close enough.

46233753985_335112b1ed_o.png

When you're battling everything from warring factions to contamination zones and the elements, you need to make sure you're well prepared. The Division 2 offers fully customizable agents and gear. There is a variety of weapons, armor, and cosmetic options to find, plus more gear sets and exotic items available to high-level players. When you reach the end-game, unique specializations will allow you to further expand your arsenal and abilities

Once you hit level 30 you can activate one of three specializations, which unlocks that specialization's signature weapon and new skills. The three specializations are:

Co-Op Activities:

Clans:

Evolving Endgame:
- New content will be added regularly to The Division 2 and players will have access to a full year of free story-driven missions, map expansions and new game features.

Strongholds vs. Missions
Strongholds are vastly bigger and meaner than missions. Strongholds will be important to the plot development of the game and are extremely significant. Missions will need to be completed before attempting Strongholds. The introduction of Strongholds will happen very early on in the main campaign, but the concept becomes ramped up in the Endgame.

What happens when you hit level 30?
  • During the main campaign you be working thru a bunch of Missions and a handful of Strongholds to get to the final Stronghold that remains locked until you reach level 30. At that point, the final Stronghold will be unlocked and revealed. Once that final Stronghold is completed, World Tier 1 is unlocked, Tidal Basin is revealed and the living world will completely change.
  • Previously established control points that you've captured suddenly become dynamic as the Black Tusk faction comes into play and factions are pushed into the open world. Previously established fast travel locations are no longer available and must be re-established. Most importantly, due to the influx of the Black Tusk, Specializations are introduced because "you're gonna need a bigger gun.", and you're vastly weaker in relation to the new faction.
World Tiers 1-3 Unlocked
  • 3 Stronghold revealed (1 for each faction) that will have 2 invaded missions that are tied to each Stronghold.
    • After completing the first Stronghold, you'll progress to the next World Tier 2. Finishing the second will push you into World Tier 3 and finishing the last of the 3 Strongholds will push you into World Tier 4.
  • "The Snitch" & The Deck of 52 becomes active
    • 52 Named bosses, each faction matching a suit, that will award you loot and commendations for "completing the deck" and getting their cards. They won't spawn again until your deck is complete.
  • Cassie Mendoza "The Gun Runner" is revealed
    • A roaming random spawn vendor that cycles every day in a half that will have special loot/guns that scale to your world tier.
World Tier 4
  • Priority Target Network - An interconnected set of 7 tiered Bounties inside of different named zones that scale in difficulty as you progress thru them (progression similar to "hard", "challenging" & "heroic" ways that were familiar in TD1).
  • Bounties (this is not endgame, but was discussed after the Priority Target Network to explain how they happen)
    • During the campaign you'll meet Otis Sykes and you'll get access to bounties that you spend Target Intel to play.
    • Target Intel is garnered thru mission completion and endgame content.
World Tier 5
  • TBD later - gotta keep you guessing and excited.
Keeping the open world "fresh"
  • Interesting discussion about the logic behind the rules and modifiers to keep endgame fresh and changing. Less about being random. More about being controlled and deliberate, while allowing each experience to be unique thru the use of the modifiers.

Overview:
A new feature in The Division 2 is the ability to create and manage clans in-game. Clans are designed to make it easy for you to find like-minded players to play with, and to make clan management a user-friendly experience.
Clans will focus on building tight knit communities with common goals, and will consist of up to 50 accounts, with up to four characters each. The ability to create a clan is unlocked early as a part of The Division 2's story progression. Anyone who has unlocked the feature can create their own, but to start progressing a clan, a total of four members is required.
Clan members can keep themselves informed through the clan feed, keeping you up to date with clan activity and progression. The ability to leave messages on the feed will enable members to easily stay in touch with each other and it also allows for leadership to pin important messages in order to coordinate events.
In addition, each clan will have access to two voice channels for up to 25 members each, allowing you to socialize with each other at all times, regardless of where in the game you are or what activity you currently are partaking in.

Joining a clan:
When searching for a clan, you will be presented with a number of options enabling you to find a clan that best suits your particular needs or play-style.
  • Activities – The primary focus of the clan, PvE, PvP or both.
  • Most Active Times – The time of day the clan is the most active.
  • Atmosphere – The general atmosphere of the clan; would you prefer a relaxed easy-going clan, a clan focused on certain aspects of the game or a highly competitive PvP clan?
  • Mic Requirement – If the clan requires a microphone to be able to join.
  • Language – The primary spoken language of the clan.
  • Region – The geographical location of the clan members.
Creating and managing a clan:
One of the first steps when creating a clan is to design your insignia, which will serve as the visual representation of your clan in The Division 2. When designing your insignia, you will be able to choose from a selection of icons, background and border types to create your own unique design.
Next, you need to name your newfound creation. A clan name can be between 4 to 15 letters long and the clan tag, which is visible to all players, consists of 3 capitalized letters. You can also write a presentation to introduce your clan to your players.
Finally, each clan can set their preferred privacy level, consisting of three distinct levels:
  • Open – Searchable and open for all players.
  • Invite Only – Searchable but requires an application to be sent and reviewed by clan leadership.
  • Private – A private clan is not searchable and can only be joined through an invite sent by the clan's leadership.
Clan membership is organized into four ranks, allowing for improved organisation and a clear structure:
  • Commander – The leader of the clan which has access to all administrative functions of the clan.
  • Lieutenant – The officer rank, which will be able to send out invites, review applications, promote and demote members as well as moderate the clan feed.
  • Agent – The established clan member able to invite potential recruits to the clan.
  • Recruit – The recruit is a new member of the clan with limited access to administrative clan functionality.
When reviewing applications as a Commander or Lieutenant, you will be able to inspect the applicant's characters, including gear, in order for you to quickly make an informed decision.

Clan progression:
All in-game actions taken by members yielding experience points will also yield CXP (Clan XP), which is a new form of experience in The Division 2. Earning CXP will level up your clan, earning you and your friends additional benefits for each level on your Clans journey to level 30, as well as unlocking additional customization options for the insignia, showcasing your clan's veterancy.
Clans will collectively work towards common goals in The Division 2, in the shape of weekly projects and an upgradeable clan cache, both yielding rewards for all members upon completion. The weekly clan cache requires a weekly CXP goal to be reached with additional stretch goals. There are 3 tiers of reward - bronze, silver and gold. Reaching the bronze tier will unlock guaranteed rewards, while reaching the silver and gold tiers will further improve the week's rewards each time.
Clan projects are weekly tasks that grants a boost of CXP upon completion, each focusing on a particular aspect of the game. If your clan manages to complete all weekly projects, the clan will receive an additional, significant amount of CXP.

Clan quarters:
The East Wing of the White House will serve as your clan's home, providing you with a space to socialize and regroup. Here you will find your clan stash to collect your weekly rewards, as well as the clan vendor, a unique vendor available only in the East Wing. As a natural part of the clan's level progression, the quality of the items offered by the clan vendor will improve. Certain levels will also unlock the ability to purchase unique cosmetic headgear, featuring your insignia, enabling you to represent your clan wherever you go.
The clan quarters will showcase your clan's top three weekly CXP contributors, giving recognition to your most dedicated members' accomplishments. There is more to discover in the clan quarters, that you will have to discover by yourself at release!

- Follow Era ToS
- Just be cool with everything, leave the tomfoolery for the Darkzone.
- Use the word Schlooter in here and you will be shunned and most likely "taken care of" in the Dark Zones

What did they fuck up exactly? I am WT4 now (Literally none of my other friends or clan members are even close to my level yet) and there are more things I can do on the map than I can count and I am just starting to work on my ideal build in prep for the raid and such when it comes out. You are pretty objectively wrong about your complaints. And if you are some no lifer who thought he can live in this game 24/7 it is not Massive's fault. Go play another game while you wait for new content I guess.

Yeah because going to the vendor and buying everything to pump up your GS to get through the WT as fast as possible is totally the best method in making your endgame last. Get out of here with that shit.

You complained the game wasn't long enough when you have literally speed-run the game since release, and you still refuse to post how many hours you have played, which is obviously atleast over 50 hours and yet you still come in here to moan about the games progression constantly. So boring.

They already said the raid encounters will require teams to get the right balance in terms of specs, so I'm not taking any chances and maxing all 3.

edit: And reading your post further. There is a difference between "there isn't a ton to do" and "there isn't a ton I want to do".

not everyone wants all 3 specs maxed though. i have demolitionist maxed and fine it is, i don´t need crossbow or sniper. DZ Rank 50 already done too, so no, there isn´t "a ton to do" when reaching 450 GS. but at this point i don´t care, they fucked it up and i´ll be playing Sekiro in a few days.

I have to assume you don't have many responsibilities or are on vacation time as I have played nearly 30 hours outside of Work since gold release and I'm still not lvl 30.

The large majority of people won't be at WT4 yet. I imagine you have upwards of 50 hours played already? if you enjoyed that what's the problem when there's still more to come?

Give people time to catch up. I don't know what you expected by blasting through it then whining that there's nothing to do. I've been there and done that with WoW expansion releases and I can't really blame anyone but myself if I play 12-15h a day and see all the non-timegated content in a few days.

Loving the game but on PS4 Pro this is honestly the worst and most consistent pop-in I've ever had to deal with in pretty much any game I can remember.

Yeah, I saw on the ubi forums that some ubi support staff said they informed the devs about the problems people have been having with texture pop-in on consoles. There was some pop-in in Div 1 but it was never as instantly noticeable as it is in Div 2. Hopefully they can get it sorted out and at least make it not so obvious.

Anyone else missing the clan cache?

edit - lol didn't realize special ammo were in crates; I had to go through the key config to see if I was missing something, like the ammo wheel from d1.

So how do you unlock challenging missions. Do you have to beat it in Hard first or is it a later world tier thing?

I've been on vacation for past week and will remain on vacation till coming Monday so my in-game time is around 50 hours. I'm GS 450 and I haven't yet run out of shit to do. You guys need to realize that some people aren't worth arguing with.

BTW, I just came online to mention that artillery turret is some righteous ass shit. I've got it extended to 10 mortars and by the time I get to mortar no. 9, everything is on fire and most of the wave is dead. Demo is love, Demo is life.

2nd time ive run the jefferson mission - opened the hyena cache and it was just empty....

Am I missing something? I thought I just had to wait 24hr between attempts? I have the SMG Modified Mods & Loaded Canister so far - i tried to get the last part too but that was also empty - I just assumed I needed the first 3 before it spawned?

Yeah, but I don't really think it's something that they needed to be notified of. It is noticeable immediately and is constantly an issue.

Foreword:
I just wanted to start with a quick thank you to Chris Metal for all his help creating the OT, especially the great graphics! Also,
carlsojo for that amazing OT title
Ruthless deafmedal & GazzaGSi for managing the Division community like pro's. Also WesleyShark & KCsoLucky
Geist darkwing Quick Mustard for proof reading this OT. (Blame them if there are still errors, I'm not taking responsibility for my own errors)

Anyhow, I know everyone has been looking forward to finally playing this game and from everything Ubi has shown us, it looks like they have gone all-in with the content and QoL improvements from D1. Regardless of you prior history with the Division I hope the community binds together, regardless of platform, and makes it a great experience for everyone!

Lead a team of elite agents into a post-pandemic Washington D.C. to restore order and prevent the collapse of the city.

In the ruins of Washington, D.C., seven months after the bio attack that kicked off the events of the first game. That means it's set in the summer this time, rather than snowy Manhattan, and the world will be 20 percent larger than The Division 1. Instead of being surrounded by tall buildings, The Division 2 throws you into larger areas that feel much more like an open world.

The first game was set in the midst of a social collapse triggered by poisoned money, The Division 2 is set in a city trying to rebuild and recover. It's still pretty broken up, however, and plants and wildlife are reclaiming abandoned sectors.


You'll face off against a trio of factions:

- Hyenas: drug-fueled chaos-revelers preying on the weak.
- True Sons: a militia who rule by brute force.
- The Outcasts' premise is intriguing: infected individuals were left in the city's makeshift encampments to die. Those that survived have banded together and are now out for vengeance.

A fourth faction, the Black Tusks, could pose the biggest threat. As well-equipped and organized as Division agents, this organization will be introduced as part of The Division 2's endgame, laying siege to city areas at random.

Take on The Division's most critical mission yet, where you'll tackle unprecedented dangers as you pull D.C. back from the brink.

PvP
Sometimes even fellow agents can't be trusted. Take on other players and prove your combat proficiency.

Dark Zones
With three Dark Zone across Washington D.C., you'll be able to explore unique areas of the city that have been untouched for months. These mysterious, walled-off sections of D.C. offer a fair and intense Player vs. Environment vs. Player experience where anything can happen, and no one can be trusted.

Conflict
Prove your skills against other Division agents in a variety of different player versus player experiences on unique maps not seen anywhere else in The Division 2.

Skirmish details

Each Agent will customize the tools and abilities they bring to the field, and the skills you hone in on will have a major impact on your—and the city's—chances of survival.

Assault Drone details
- An unmanned device that can be controlled remotely and sent to unleash a special brand of hell on unwitting enemies.

Chem Launcher details
-The Chem Launcher shoots various chemicals that disperse upon impact. Its effects vary, from explosive vapors and corrosive acids to repairing nano bots – choose wisely and neutralize any situation.

Hive details
- While primarily a defensive tool, the offensive version is called the "Wasp Hive," where small drones are launched to cause devastating effects to targets within an area

Seeker Mine details
Once activated, this mine locks onto the closest enemy target in range and rolls along the ground in their direction, detonating when it gets close enough.

When you're battling everything from warring factions to contamination zones and the elements, you need to make sure you're well prepared. The Division 2 offers fully customizable agents and gear. There is a variety of weapons, armor, and cosmetic options to find, plus more gear sets and exotic items available to high-level players. When you reach the end-game, unique specializations will allow you to further expand your arsenal and abilities

Evolving Endgame:
- New content will be added regularly to The Division 2 and players will have access to a full year of free story-driven missions, map expansions and new game features.

Strongholds vs. Missions
Strongholds are vastly bigger and meaner than missions. Strongholds will be important to the plot development of the game and are extremely significant. Missions will need to be completed before attempting Strongholds. The introduction of Strongholds will happen very early on in the main campaign, but the concept becomes ramped up in the Endgame.

What happens when you hit level 30?
  • During the main campaign you be working thru a bunch of Missions and a handful of Strongholds to get to the final Stronghold that remains locked until you reach level 30. At that point, the final Stronghold will be unlocked and revealed. Once that final Stronghold is completed, World Tier 1 is unlocked, Tidal Basin is revealed and the living world will completely change.
  • Previously established control points that you've captured suddenly become dynamic as the Black Tusk faction comes into play and factions are pushed into the open world. Previously established fast travel locations are no longer available and must be re-established. Most importantly, due to the influx of the Black Tusk, Specializations are introduced because "you're gonna need a bigger gun.", and you're vastly weaker in relation to the new faction.
World Tiers 1-3 Unlocked
  • 3 Stronghold revealed (1 for each faction) that will have 2 invaded missions that are tied to each Stronghold.
    • After completing the first Stronghold, you'll progress to the next World Tier 2. Finishing the second will push you into World Tier 3 and finishing the last of the 3 Strongholds will push you into World Tier 4.
  • "The Snitch" & The Deck of 52 becomes active
    • 52 Named bosses, each faction matching a suit, that will award you loot and commendations for "completing the deck" and getting their cards. They won't spawn again until your deck is complete.
  • Cassie Mendoza "The Gun Runner" is revealed
    • A roaming random spawn vendor that cycles every day in a half that will have special loot/guns that scale to your world tier.
World Tier 4
  • Priority Target Network - An interconnected set of 7 tiered Bounties inside of different named zones that scale in difficulty as you progress thru them (progression similar to "hard", "challenging" & "heroic" ways that were familiar in TD1).
  • Bounties (this is not endgame, but was discussed after the Priority Target Network to explain how they happen)
    • During the campaign you'll meet Otis Sykes and you'll get access to bounties that you spend Target Intel to play.
    • Target Intel is garnered thru mission completion and endgame content.
World Tier 5
  • TBD later - gotta keep you guessing and excited.
Keeping the open world "fresh"
  • Interesting discussion about the logic behind the rules and modifiers to keep endgame fresh and changing. Less about being random. More about being controlled and deliberate, while allowing each experience to be unique thru the use of the modifiers.

Overview:
A new feature in The Division 2 is the ability to create and manage clans in-game. Clans are designed to make it easy for you to find like-minded players to play with, and to make clan management a user-friendly experience.
Clans will focus on building tight knit communities with common goals, and will consist of up to 50 accounts, with up to four characters each. The ability to create a clan is unlocked early as a part of The Division 2's story progression. Anyone who has unlocked the feature can create their own, but to start progressing a clan, a total of four members is required.
Clan members can keep themselves informed through the clan feed, keeping you up to date with clan activity and progression. The ability to leave messages on the feed will enable members to easily stay in touch with each other and it also allows for leadership to pin important messages in order to coordinate events.
In addition, each clan will have access to two voice channels for up to 25 members each, allowing you to socialize with each other at all times, regardless of where in the game you are or what activity you currently are partaking in.

Joining a clan:
When searching for a clan, you will be presented with a number of options enabling you to find a clan that best suits your particular needs or play-style.
  • Activities – The primary focus of the clan, PvE, PvP or both.
  • Most Active Times – The time of day the clan is the most active.
  • Atmosphere – The general atmosphere of the clan; would you prefer a relaxed easy-going clan, a clan focused on certain aspects of the game or a highly competitive PvP clan?
  • Mic Requirement – If the clan requires a microphone to be able to join.
  • Language – The primary spoken language of the clan.
  • Region – The geographical location of the clan members.
Creating and managing a clan:
One of the first steps when creating a clan is to design your insignia, which will serve as the visual representation of your clan in The Division 2. When designing your insignia, you will be able to choose from a selection of icons, background and border types to create your own unique design.
Next, you need to name your newfound creation. A clan name can be between 4 to 15 letters long and the clan tag, which is visible to all players, consists of 3 capitalized letters. You can also write a presentation to introduce your clan to your players.
Finally, each clan can set their preferred privacy level, consisting of three distinct levels:
  • Open – Searchable and open for all players.
  • Invite Only – Searchable but requires an application to be sent and reviewed by clan leadership.
  • Private – A private clan is not searchable and can only be joined through an invite sent by the clan's leadership.
Clan membership is organized into four ranks, allowing for improved organisation and a clear structure:
  • Commander – The leader of the clan which has access to all administrative functions of the clan.
  • Lieutenant – The officer rank, which will be able to send out invites, review applications, promote and demote members as well as moderate the clan feed.
  • Agent – The established clan member able to invite potential recruits to the clan.
  • Recruit – The recruit is a new member of the clan with limited access to administrative clan functionality.
When reviewing applications as a Commander or Lieutenant, you will be able to inspect the applicant's characters, including gear, in order for you to quickly make an informed decision.

Clan progression:
All in-game actions taken by members yielding experience points will also yield CXP (Clan XP), which is a new form of experience in The Division 2. Earning CXP will level up your clan, earning you and your friends additional benefits for each level on your Clans journey to level 30, as well as unlocking additional customization options for the insignia, showcasing your clan's veterancy.
Clans will collectively work towards common goals in The Division 2, in the shape of weekly projects and an upgradeable clan cache, both yielding rewards for all members upon completion. The weekly clan cache requires a weekly CXP goal to be reached with additional stretch goals. There are 3 tiers of reward - bronze, silver and gold. Reaching the bronze tier will unlock guaranteed rewards, while reaching the silver and gold tiers will further improve the week's rewards each time.
Clan projects are weekly tasks that grants a boost of CXP upon completion, each focusing on a particular aspect of the game. If your clan manages to complete all weekly projects, the clan will receive an additional, significant amount of CXP.

Clan quarters:
The East Wing of the White House will serve as your clan's home, providing you with a space to socialize and regroup. Here you will find your clan stash to collect your weekly rewards, as well as the clan vendor, a unique vendor available only in the East Wing. As a natural part of the clan's level progression, the quality of the items offered by the clan vendor will improve. Certain levels will also unlock the ability to purchase unique cosmetic headgear, featuring your insignia, enabling you to represent your clan wherever you go.
The clan quarters will showcase your clan's top three weekly CXP contributors, giving recognition to your most dedicated members' accomplishments. There is more to discover in the clan quarters, that you will have to discover by yourself at release!

- Story? well, yeah.... no unmarked spoilers!
- Follow Era ToS
- Just be cool with everything, leave the tomfoolery for the Darkzone.
- Use the word Schlooter in here and you will be shunned and most likely "taken care of" in the Dark Zones

Ok, lol. This is definitely one of the most impressive games graphics-wise, but you do you.
Well i like the detail in the world. And i haven't seen a lot of the game yet.
But thus far i'm not impressed. The NPC's are terrible to look at. Maybe the difference with pc is huge, no idea.

I'm wrong in what? I don't think it looks that great and i doubt they made a separate version just for PC.

The npc's are extremely ugly in this game. But maybe they look better on PC?
They went for 4k, not performance, and it wasn't worth it.

And yeah, NPCs look alright on PC

I didn't get a chance to play yesterday. Long day of work, followed by going to an NBA game. I'm feeling the withdrawals.
