I'm loving that there seems to be more little areas off the beaten path in DC, than there was in New York. I promptly turned off the GPS line, I just wish I could turn it off from my mini-map as well. The exploration element to this game feels pretty great to me.

The Division 2 |OT| National Anthem
- Thread starter Cornbread78
- Start date
Same question. Using headphones and my primary slot weapons sound really low and weak. Rest of volume seems fine. Any settings to change for beefier gunfire sounds?
Well, my only day off for a while and I have to stop playing now. Game doesn't last 15 minutes before closing. Shame too, I was having a ton of fun :(
Getting turret bug now, for me this launch is way worse then Athem. Nothing in Anthem actively broke my character. Starting to wonder why I'm even bothering when Destiny has new stuff and Strong hold runs in Anthem are so much fun.
Are the UPlay challenges bugged? I have them active and have no progress on any of them. Also accessing them through the game menu seems to make the game run at a crawl. Aside from this the game has been perfect for me; several hours of playing on DX12 with not a single crash.
Only 1 server disconnection yesterday and map glitch today. But good overall. Base PS4.
There is no flaw in the leveling system, it is working as intended. Climbing the world tiers is just an introduction to the endgame. Min-maxing multiple builds while doing lots of PvE or PvP activities is the true endgame (like most looters).

I thought this was a joke post at first, but looking at your post history, I have to wonder.... Do you ever NOT complain when posting?
Just half an hour for me tonight...Feels so good! Technically its terrific....insanely detailed, with just texture lod changes a bit obvious, but given how much is on screen, its understandable. On Pro and not have any bugs or disconects in a smidge over 3 hrs.
But with Anthen you dont even know if something is broken or working correctly at all.
So you can only make one other character right...? I will make one to play with Era and an alt to play with my friend,who started Div 1 recently and by the sound of it,he wants to finish it so we will play 2 like a few hours a day.
Like most of the internet, easier to complain about a problem and just enjoy the game when having fun. If I was having a bug free good time I wouldn't be posting I'd be playing. Just frustrating after reading so many post praising how well made this game is and finding out it's just as bad if not worse then any launch of one of these games. Broken skills, crash bugs, texture issues, frame rate problem, it's got it all.
Anthem is trash right now but at least I can play it, destiny new gambit mode isn't my thing but strikes are there. Suffering thru another launch that was supposed to be diffrent is getting to me. Many others having the same issues so it's just not me.
I got the game for free and I still don't know why I'm wasting my time trying to do missions when it keeps crashing me out or my skills stop working.
For you, ok. For the majority of players, not even remotely as bad.
I'm right there with ya as are plenty others. Not here it seems but definitely on reddit and Ubi's forums. I simply can't play without the game crashing after 15 mins. Was this a problem with Anthem or any other recent disaster launches I'm forgetting (FO76 obviously)? Because it's a huge issue here and has been going on for some since launch at the beginning of the week.
When I hit the fireball button I shoot a fireball, more then I can say for division in my last session.
I'm scared to say I haven't crashed at all because I know if I do I'm going to start getting crashes lol
That makes sense because you can't shoot fireballs in the Division. No one's telling you to keep playing the Division lol you've had problems with it since you started. Enjoy Anthem my dude! Don't play stuff you don't like. :)
The overall volume in the game is extremely low so for starters you need to turn up your speakers much higher than usual. It also depends on the type of weapon. LMGs and snipers sound decent but a lot of the assault rifles sound tinny with a lack of low end. Shotguns probably sound the worst out of all.
Anthem had crash bugs and the 95 load screen bug at launch as well. All these games are rushed to get released. Divison 2 was supposed to be diffrent according to some posters on this forum, but sadly it's the same crap again.

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.
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
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
- new weapon archetypes (specialized crossbows, grenade launchers, and sniper rifles)
- enemies have access to new weapons and gadgets (freeze gun)
- call in NPC reinforcements
- four new gadgets
- 8-player raids
- clans
New specializations, game modes, and more, will keep Division agents active well beyond level 30.
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:
You develop your specialization in endgame co-op missions
PvP
- Take on other players to prove your skills and earn powerful high-end gear.
Co-Op Activities:
- brand-new missions that offer some of the greatest challenges the Division has faced yet.
Clans:
- Agents are more powerful together, so take advantage of new ways to not only play with, but connect with other players.
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?
World Tiers 1-3 Unlocked
- 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 Tier 4
- 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 5
- 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.
Keeping the open world "fresh"
- TBD later - gotta keep you guessing and excited.
- 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.
Creating and managing a clan:
- 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.
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:
Clan membership is organized into four ranks, allowing for improved organisation and a clear structure:
- 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.
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.
- 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.
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!

The odd thing is, I didn't have one single crash through both close and open betas. I was blown away when it happened this morning and continued to happen close to 8 times since after numerous attempts at various fixes.
Is it normal for games like this to reconnect you with your team if you get dc'd/crash? I crashed out near the end of a mission on PC and was pleasantly surprised it put me back in the game and it even gave me all the XP from the kills I missed. That's awesome. Never seen it before.

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.
Creating and managing a clan:
- 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.
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:
Clan membership is organized into four ranks, allowing for improved organisation and a clear structure:
- 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.
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.
- 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.
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
PC here.
Yeah in the first game if someone dropped we'd just wait a bit and they'd usually come back on and get added right back to the group. So yeah if that happens, don't rush to boot them. lol
Is the Castle settlement supposed to be greyed out? There's nothing going on there.
Also, I'm supposed to talk to Henry Hayes at the Campus but he's nowhere to be found.

i´ve always reported here that the game has numerous issues but somehow, seems it is all dandy for many people or they don´t want to see it. this game is the same technical mess on the Pro that was the beta, nothing changed at all. these games need real betas long before release and not a demo beta that is meant as advertisement for the game. nothing can be fixed in such a short timeframe. basically they shipped a half broken product with the Pro version.
there is nothing understandable about it, if it can´t be displayed properly maybe tone down the litter on the screen. no one cares if there are 30 crap assets lying around or 75. tone it down, makes for a better game without pop in and texture streaming issues. Pro version looks really bad for a game late in the console generation. performance issues drags it down, optimization seems just bad. "terrific" this is not.
yep, exactly it is ridiculous reading about people "i have no problems" or people reporting in they are fine having played few hours. as soon as you reach the strongholds and black tusk missions this game is so prone to crashing...i must have had 15 crashes on my way to 450 if not more...
this game has numerous problems, crashing, technical issues, bugs, progression is halted at 450 because timegated endgame.
this game is yet another game rushed to release and needed more time in the oven, at least the Pro version is not up to the task of providing a rock stable performance.
I thought UPlay challenges were bugged since they did not show up for me immediately last night. There is progress now, but I am still uncertain if it is real-time. Progress reflected in both app and in-game.
I've been having a good time with the game so far as well. Only bug was I got stuck in some random corner I rolled into. Used the cover system to snake my way out along the wall.
I can't get the HDR options to show on my Xbox One X, my TV has HDR and I've used it with other games.
How dare they not encounter the same problems you seem to do. The outrage is real.
My Friends and i have been very lucky and have not experienced any crashes on PC or any performance issues or game breaking bugs. We usually don't get issues on games that many others usually report. So all my sharing of experiences and such in this thread has come from that perspective. I truly feel for everyone who has problems on both PC and console and i hope they all can join in the fun soon
The difference is the volume of people having problems. With Anthem it was (and in some ways still is) almost universal. Certainly it was the majority. It also wasn't just crashes, it was bugs and bland quest design.
The majority of people, judging from the same sources we had for Anthem (reddit, Era, Twitter etc) are having an awesome, bug-free and stable time with Div 2. Like it's not even close to the same situation here.
And the missions are awesome to boot. Even the side missions.
