The Division 2 ULTIMATE DARK ZONE GUIDE: Best Farming, Tactics, & Builds

Tip: Usually in PVP, players would run decoys before PVP, set them down to remove their name plates, and prevent you from noticing them going rogue, and all you have is ISAC pinging them going rogue and them ganging on you before you have a chance to do anything. However, there is a trick. If a player sets down a decoy and goes rogue, their ISAC brick will flash from orange to red (it is hard to spot the first few times) while their decoy is active and that is the only indicator that you will be able to spot when they are going rogue. Also, if you see a group of players (usually 2 to 3 players), be prepared for 1 of them running a SE build usually with riot foam skill to immobilize you while the other 2 just turn you into mince meat. To prevent that, use what Rogue said. Keep an eye out and book it the moment you spot them. Use the decoy as an advantage as it alerts NPCs within a certain range (no idea how big that range is though) and you can use them as meat shields while you book it (Note that this tactic doesn't really work against veterans but hey, a tactic is a tactic). Remember the golden rule in the DZ: Trust no one. Good luck and see you in the DZ.

So here's an advanced tactic that I have always found to be exceptionally helpful. If you are farming in a DZ that has active Rogues or are just paranoid, find an LZ and shoot up a flare. Then IMMEDIATELY RUN TO ANOTHER LZ THAT IS NOT CURRENTLY IN USE and fire another flare. If you're fast, this can potentially buy you enough time to safely hook your gear and get into a defensible position as any nearby Rogues will hopefully be flocking to that first flare you shot up. Another thing you can do, and granted this is risky, but if you see an LZ already active go and check it out as carefully but quickly as possible. If you see someone going in to hook their stuff, rush in and hook yours as well since they won't be able to go Rogue while they're loading theirs. It's also generally accepted as a sign of good faith - if both players load their stuff then quickly back away, chances are they're not gonna risk their loot by turning on you and potentially losing the ensuing firefight, but never just assume that. When it comes down to it, remember the golden rule - don't trust anyone.

One point: if you deconstruct an exotic item within the DZ, you still only get DZ credits/resources. In order to get the exotic component (diamond), you have to extract (via helo) the exotic item and then deconstruct it outside the DZ after you've picked it up from your stash/mailbox.

Thanks for this guide Rogue, the DZ is fun and rewarding and I hope to get an EB drop someday. One tip I use is the fact that the DZ XP from extractions scales with the number of items, so an alternative to deconstructing everything is filling up your bag with random items, maybe have 1 slot for a stack of DZ resource, and extract. You'll get a ton of DZ caches that way (which can contain DZ exclusive named items btw) and can also get regular resources from those extracted items.

Love your tip about checking social menu in the DZ, I almost never go in the DZ these days, but spent a lot of time there previously and, still to this day when I venture in, it's such an ingrained habit. It really gives you such an advantage and keeps a lot of ppl getting a jump on you, particularly during extraction

So being a newish player still coming into the game, it's funny you dropped this guide literally the same night I started to step into the Dark Zone. I was like hmm, I need to learn the mechanics and how loot works, and boom a guide by RogueGold, so thank you for this. Anyways with around a week in and out of the DZ and now just about to hit only 200 SHD and level 3 Expertise I wanted to offer some additional takes to help players feel a little less intimidated by the Dark Zone, (as I originally was and avoided it for a little while.) which might help as I only run solo also. So firstly you have to judge your lobby, if you see that you have a huge group doing pvp going rogue constantly not roaming the map but doing pvp battles with each other, then that's actually a great lobby to be in. 1. They likely won't roam around and harass you, or steal your loot, or come try to kill you during extract either. They are typically too busy fighting one another, and are not going to roam, so that's a good indicator you probably won't get harassed too much. Sure you might have a few one off agents in there not wanting to jump in on the pvp brigade, and still roaming, but it cuts those numbers down a lot that you are far less likely to get jumped or run into a random agent going rogue. Secondly as you stated in the video, knowing the maps is crucial. I've had the most experience with DZ East and South, so with East the big key here is where you extract from. The majority of entry checkpoints are all loaded on the left of that DZ, but the cool thing is you have a far right northern extract away from all the foot traffic. The thing is, most people are going to be lopsided to roam or move around the left and bottom of DZ east, just due to the layout. I usually do a loop and pick up my gear, break it down etc, then I typically go to that far right extract to the north. Then I typically call the heli in at the back right corner facing towards the control point behind me. That way I can go the back of the tuck there and check for people coming towards me a bit more safely. The thing is you're less likely to get people coming out of the control point behind you, or from the top right checkpoint. So your cone of vision can focus on direction towards the extract, and you have options to back away into the control point, or run to the top right and just b-line out of there. For DZ South, the best extract imo is the circular one to the bottom right. This DZ is way more compact and smaller, but also has several twists and turns to get away. I like to use that extract the most and there is a window you can hop into and call the extract just outside this window and you can safely hide in the building and peek out to catch people trying to go rogue and jack your loot. One time I had an unsuspecting rogue try to do that and I was able to down them with perfect line of site. They didn't know what hit them. DZ West I have the least experience with, but the south extract isn't bad, being on a broken overpass of sorts. But it's close to the main entry point. The top left is probably a safe bet, you have a room with windows you can hide in as well, but it's not as comfy as say the one in DZ South. The top right is probably the least desirable as it's on an open street. Just like the one in DZ east being at an intersection, there is just too many directions for people to come from, and they are too open. But as far as extracts go, sometimes the ideal isn't always ideal, obviously make a judgment call and use the one that you feel is the best, safest, least time consuming to protect your loot and get it out, or most sensible when applicable, based off the lobby you're in more or less. But best bet is apply the most safe options always if you can. Thirdly, as much as I have pointed to what has given me the most success in terms of getting extracts to go smoothly, and to mitigate the toxic roaming agents that just wanna go rogue and make you have a bad time, it's going to happen. People are going to roam and steal your loot, go rogue, down you, stay at a checkpoint and harass you, etc. The key is to judge it, if you feel one DZ is too annoying, just swap to another, or go do some pve. Remember you can also teleport to another checkpoint across the same DZ to get away from the duo wanting to pick you off constantly. Fourthly on extract, you're not committed until you attach your gear to the rope, any time before that if you're not comfortable, if you're worried about getting jump, just run away. Always always always check Social in the menu to see if people are nearby. I can't tell you the amount of times people popped up and I just left, 30 seconds into waiting for the heli, I just noped out of there. That rogue group roaming looking to pick off people, just leave. Sure you can try to fight if you feel confident and sometimes you have to fight, but starting out early on, working on a pvp build, or low SHD/expertise you're gonna be at a disadvantage a lot of the time. Also once the countdown for the gear being attached is like 15-10 seconds left, unless someone is standing on top of the rope, if nobody is close by your gear is pretty safe to get out. So the window for your gear being at risk is actually fairly small time wise. Remember The Art of War: "Fight them where they aren't" the best offensive is a good defense, live to fight another day, etc lol. But also remember you can't get better until you pick fights, so sometimes it's just worth it to take a fight to learn something, maybe you learn you need more stats, ok fair enough. Maybe you learn you need to position better, or move better. Or time your skills better. Sometimes I just go in and go rogue a bunch and try to fight people just to see if I can win some fights. If you know you have a roaming bunch trying to chase extracts, try to obfuscate, run across one extract, call the heli, then peace to another extract and while that group is chasing the first heli, they realize no one is there, it can give you enough time to get off your extract. Or as RogueGold pointed out, if another extract got called, use that to obfuscate and take advantage. The last thing I would say is try to run something that mitigates other players trying to jump you. I run St. Elmos and will usually proc it's stacks to 100 then swap to a secondary AR like Carbine 7 and use that to take control points, etc. That way if someone tries to go rogue, or challenge me at an extract I can shock them and prevent them from stealing my gear or killing me. I had like a 1200 SHD agent go rogue at the northern extract on me and he probably saw I was under 200 SHD and thought I was easy prey. No no no sir, you thought wrong. I popped him with St. Elmos and downed him. You can just run Countdown and focus AR's and get a St. Elmo's pretty quickly and easily. I have like 3 or 4 just from doing that when I was farming ARs and trying to also get a good Carbine 7 roll. So it's a very accessible exotic and a good option starting out. I've won some 1v1 situations vs people way higher on SHD and expertise because of having it proc'd and ready to go. Listen guys, some people got exotics like the Eagle Bearer to pray drops in the DZ, and I'm one of them. Gotten plenty of The Pestilence so far, like 2 or 3 out of the DZ. Oh and for the few exotics I've actually had drop so far on the DZ, I've gotten every single one out with no issues using RogueGold's advice, my own learning and understanding as stated above. So you can certainly find success in the DZ, good luck out there fellow agents. Thank you sir RogueGold, all the best!

Here is my Dark Zone guide (im shd level 850) 1.finish WONY 2.enter DZ while jumping at every sound and shadow 3.clear a checkpoint(feeling good because maybe the rumors about the dz aren't true because nobody attacked you) 4. run into another player(you are cautious but feel at ease when don't attack you) 5.random player stands still(unbeknownst to you he is inspecting your gear) 6.player goes rogue right in front of you killing you immediately then emote on your corpse 7.respawn and get killed immediately 8. Try to get revenge just to get killed over and over for the 45 minutes because you have tilted 9.delete game 10.reinstall game 11. Enter DZ again and get farmed by players for 3 hours 12. Try again tomorrow 13. Get a lucky exotic drop that you never got before 14. Try to extract exotic and a player goes rogue and chases you back and forth across the map. 15. Make it to safe zone but door won't open because you are in combat 16. Get killed and exotic taken 17.guy who killed you sends you a message and video of him turning exotic into dz credits. 18.stop playing game for 1 month 19. Return to game and decide to get better gear 20.grind countdown,learn to put together builds,run raids,get exotics,kill hunters for shield splinterer,run legendary and heroic missions,get good gear 21.return to DZ still get killed almost immediately over and over but you last longer and now cause rogue agents to have to heal 22.die alot more but continue to improve 23. Now you are a DZ veteran and know how to avoid or engage rogue agents 24.now you are hunting rogue agents and putting them down 25. DZ is home, DZ is life, They are trapped there with you!

I'm not a DZ player, but I'm a veteran Div1/Div2 player. And one piece of advice I can share is...TRUST NO ONE

Anothet extraction tip. If you are solo and afraid of getting killed by rogue agents, when you get to an extraction point and check tge map and nearby agent BUT also place a map marker on another extraction point then call for an extraction and immediately run towards that other extraction point you marked and when you get there call for an exteaction too. At that point you can either hover around there or run back to the previous extraction point before the helicopter leaves. There might be rogue agents there or they may be rushing to the 2nd point but at least your force them to make a decision. If you are really fast in DZ south and east its possible to activate all three extraction points at the same time.

Another tip for extraction: always check nearby players and based on that choose the extraction point that is further away from them, is going to give you time for your extraction to arrive before other players. Anyway great video and useful even for D.Z veterans

Thanks for sharing the returning player, who used to thrive in DZ in D1 and the beginning of D2. But I feel like a child now. Lol.

oh perfect. was planning to return for a while just to see how Instant Medkits changes things

The way you made the player sit down while giving a guide made me laugh pretty hard not gonna lie😂

As always helpful and informative. I'm a returning player and I want to get back into the DZ's but I've been hesitant, so with this advice I'm a little more confident in traversing these areas, especially the idea of just picking a DZ and becoming familiar with the lay of the land. Thanks for sharing and keep on doing that thing you do.

This was helpful. My second experience in the DZ was yesterday and it was terrible, but I'll keep at it. Thanks.

Nice DZ video content. You're the best, my dude! 😎✨✨

This guide inspired me to try DZ out. Big thanks to you Rogue!

Thanks! It's an essential, practical guide, but very useful!

I’d like for landmarks to not be highlighted whenever a player engages them. Favorite thing about div 1 was doing a landmark and seeing someone else I had no idea was there too. Another nit-picky change I’d like would be to only see names when you have a direct line of sight on the player. Seeing name cards through walls takes away from the hardcore nature of what the DZ is. Imagine seeing someone at the end of the street and going “are they rogue?” And as they approach and get within a defined distance their name pops up and they’re a rogue agent. I’d like for the DZ to be a bit more hardcore.

I recall the darkzone being pretty sweaty a few seasons ago but when they dropped the raid items in i knew for a fact trying to extract a raid item in the dz is like ringing the dinner bell and the wolves were hungry. All in the past now and almost to expertise level 24 as we speak.

Thank you very much for this excellent guide. Still not sure how much of my free time I can burn off in the DZ, but this makes it feel less of a blind risk. But I will admit that the feeling of dropping a rogue at an extraction is hard to beat.

Thanks so much for this. I actually put together a build based on your slayer, and went into the DZ. When people went rogue and tried to steal my loot I actually killed them easily. Finally a build I can roll with and not feel like I'm made of glass in PVP.

Coming from Australia with our Absolute Rubbish internet, I've always steered clear of DZ's in both Division 2, and Division 1. During the days of D1 Every now and again I'd 'Try my luck' and knowing latency issues would probably be my down fall, but have basically ignored all 3 DZ's in D2 and I've played since launch. Today though I stumbled across this video, and in doing so, Your channel, and am just here to say Thank You for putting this content in a straight up, 'No B.S.' on what to expect sort of video, and on top of that I've just spent the last 3½-4 hours roaming the DZ's and enjoying it (even with the few laggy moments). think you may have a new fan here, Good Job ;)

That timepiece backpack trophy looks so cool. I hate it’s locked behind the referral program. hopefully one day they’ll add it to the store.

i wish for one thing in DZ, shortening extraction time because how small, close to CP and easy to jumped by players this area is.

One thing I do is activate one extraction point then run to a different extraction point.

21:05 usually you will get the rogue notification within 90 to 120 m

Never went into the Dark Zone before and as per your most number one tip, Im probs just going to jump in without the goal for loot but for exploration! Loot is secondary if I manage to find and extract any.

I was able to snag The Gift blueprint from Descent after a 5 hour session. Went to the DZ two days later and farmed one in about 20 minutes lol. DZ is fun if you go into it with the right mindset and expect some PVP. If only I could get the 13% PFE to drop I'd be all set. Great video dude

Added to Watch Later, because I'm really trying to get over my fear of the DZ. I'm SHD 1300, play entirely solo, and have almost wholly avoided the DZ like the plague (my DZ level is 3. Just 3.). Tried going in a couple times and just got wiped by Rogues almost immediately. Tried again and again. Died again and again. So I just decided it wasn't for me. Which is a shame. I'd love to just roam around and explore an entire section of the map that's mostly new to me. I just don't want to get hassled by other players against whom I have ZERO chance of survival. However, yesterday I actually had an altogether enjoyable DZ experience. Decided to just head in, roam around, try to avoid conflict, and see what happens. I cleared two DZ Landmarks, took out a bunch of NPCs, successfully extracted some loot, and got out alive. All without ever seeing another player. It was absolutely enjoyable. Because the PvP aspect never happened. And I know the whole point of the DZ is PvP, and if you don't like PvP just stay out of the DZ, yada yada... I get it. But there's zero reason, as a solo player, I can't just choose to enjoy the DZ as PvE like the rest of the game.

I 100% agree with know the map. I can not count how many times I've tricked/out ran/and even wiped 4 man groups by myself simply because I turned a corner in front of them, sneaked right to the other side so when they all turned left the way they seen me, they'd never knew not only am I to the right but I claimed up to have the high ground and am now blasting them in the back while they panic. 1v4s can be very easy if you simply know where you are and especially if it's a 4 man that's winning off of numbers and know nothing else but jumping

Thanks 4 this

Hey Roguegold, another great video! I've just finished the DLC content and am kinda lost in the sauce with all of the end game content. do you have a video or suggestions of another creators video that breaks down endgame content? thanks for your help! your videos have done a lot.

Watching from Flint

Movement and understanding the mechanics will make you better in the darkzone player

When it comes to dark zone just bring friends because it is most common that people will gang up on someone and even set up 8 people to work together.

Well thank u brotha

One thing I think is overlooked in the game is suppressors because the ai doesn’t care about them and know exactly where you are as soon as you engage but for DZ content reducing your noise profile is vital for avoiding PvP the ai might not have ears but other players do and if they have no idea where your shooting from that alone can increase your survivability.

I recall that the devs changed the loot system where targeted loot goes straight to inventory and/or can’t be lost if ganked..? Is that a thing or am I misremembering? Thanks for another great video!!! This is a great companion vid to your PVP guide (psa: linked in the description)! Slayer build actually works! I’ve built it and gone into the DZ with it! Build it and go! If you’re new, you might die but not from NPCs…. The build is powerful and has survivability when farming control points (aka landmarks)

Pistol builds are also great for farming since you won’t have to worry about restocking ammo

I just want to run/walk around and see the place tbh. I just love the DC map.

Really great guide, am surprised you didn't mention the option of being 100% pulse resistance in the DZ to be more stealth (how come you never got pulsed while playing? Different build?) I like and hate the DZ. It's a unique experience but I am not good at PVP and it seems no matter what build I use I rarely win 1v1 encounters. Hence the pulse resistance is a life saver. I try to stealth as much as I can. I like seeing red landmarks, sneak in and shoot one bullet at an enemy than hide close enough to get credit for it when the other player(s) finish it Great tips especially at end of video, thanks again (and how did you kill that rogue so fast? I can never do that 😫)

Do you need to have done Dark Hours for the Eagle Bearer to potentially start dropping in DZ or is it just Flat low chance in DZ?

What’s that chest piece appearance you’ve got on at 10:40?

I do like going into the dark zone and being able to go after land marks and usually have my best luck at getting exotics in there but people always bully me. I never like to start fights I only shoot if they choose to shoot at me first and even if I try helping they always kill me 😢

hey how are you my friend quick Question look at your gears and that little flash what's that means

And the dark zone vendor exotic caches should have a chance to drop the DZ exotics.

hey rogue, how come keys don't drop from DH on discovery anymore? and the box at the end isn't available anymore? is the Eagle only obtainable from boss drops?

Any advice for hardcore players in DarkZone😢

What’s your settings to have your damage output on the right side ?

Something I’ve always wondered: if you pick up DZ-exclusive loot but don’t extract it, does it get added to your general pool/unlock blueprints? Not sure if I’m phrasing this right, but hopefully you get what I mean.

What are your thoughts on what metas are gonna form around the new health brand changes?

This comments section is gold, reminds me of the early reddit days.

What’s the build in the video?

I always go in when everyone is asleep i just fight off regular enemies i never encounter rogue player's

First comment :V Saludos desde Argentina

My strategy in the DZ is to run and hide and when they inevitably find me, beg them to have mercy on a fool. =)

Killer thumbnail btw.🤙

there a chance to make a newbie guide? or is it just like run and try not to die around because i'm new to division 2 and today's the first time i entered the DZ ever lmao

Is there a recommended SHD level to go into the DZ?

The best build in my opinion in armor regeneration for me lol

i hate the dark zone because there are too many mean people in there.

DZ the best❤

Just coming back to div2, can anyone explain how normalization works in dz and conflict? Wondering if stat rolls matter or if stuff like that is all the same so it wouldn’t matter if stuff like Chc/chd isn’t maxed on the gear or if your stats are low you are gonna get cooked

The only build I used is armor regeneration lol 😆

The DZ is so much fun once you accept the fact that you are going to be killed by grouped-up rogues when you’re solo. For people who get really mad about it, try ignoring the fact that some of the enemies you face are human. Just tell yourself that they’re really good AI enemies, and keep on playing.

Do you think we will ever get cross progression for division 2 ? Just made the switch from Xbox to pc and just realize there’s no cross progression in this game. Unfortunate bc I have so much time on my Xbox account.

Very useful clip! I'm gonna return to DZ when Project Resolve arrives, and this tips are (Rogue) Gold :p

I love dark zone lol

I have the turtle wax and Autoglyn. I feel like the latter looked better at the first application. In fact, after a few days, the TW almost looked like the tyre was not dressed so I reapplied with Autoglyn. I have a full bottle, so I'm stuck with it, so I'll use it all before I try DarkPro.

So what in the DZ doesn't require extraction. I know materials, dz credits found in boxes, components and the gear you get from the safe house. But doesn't everything else require extraction?

missing a 0 on that drop chance for exclusives. Its a 0.072% for npc-random-drop exotic, and only 3% of those exotics are exclusive. On average the rates are 1 in 46300 npc kills.

now that they announce the instant heal i want to play dv2 pvp once again after 1 year i stop and sell my 3 accounts when i sell of my SHD 100k main account SHD 88k 2nd account and SHD 5k 3rd account i never played dv2 again and focus to other PVP online games in my PC, i buy new account now i will try my new SHD 1k healer DPS 1.5m armor 6 tier build on new update, yesterday i tried my tanky healer DPS againts group i solo 4 of them and killed 4 of them without dying but i'm still not contented about the healing of my newest build, i think the missing piece to my newest build is the upcoming feb patch the instant pop up healing.

I love pvp I have the strongest armor regeneration on xbox 😊 I bully alot of meta players lol

Wait ive been playing this game for almost 5 years and youre telling me weve had a pvp zone this whole time?

what build allow you to shoot through wall ?

Had a guy go rogue in front of me and melt me before I could even ads. 😅 guides are great, but when someone has 4000 plus levels on you it's...

Firts rule of the dz is dont go solo the exclusive items bp drops from the decent and named item cashe also just go chill in a few conflict matches wether you win or lose you get 1 cashe for participating as far as the eb and ravenous do the raid there's Cary all the time BUT if your looking for field recon data and alot of xp its faster than farming cp open world just farm landmarks and never extract i prefer dz south the landmarks are really close and fast to farm

Great guide! I played a lot in darkzone of D1 because it was basically the open world in endgame. In D2 I play in the darkzones occasionally only, not a fan of PvP. But I don’t want to avoid the darkzones because the 3 darkzones combined are a huge part of the DC map, which is already a small map compared to other games. The darkzone maps provide a bit variety. But when I get bullied every few minutes it’s time for me to leave the DZ. For D3 I hope that darkzone areas: - are part of the main PvE map and PvE main game - completely integrated in the campaign - PvPvE as optional mode Let people decide what they want to play. Current system and more incentives to lure PvE players into PvP confrontation results into frustration as we could read million times already and in the comments here as well.

I want the eagle bearer but I can’t stand the dark zone.

Ooooooo Rogue Gold sending us more players to rob..*cough* i mean help extract for my *cough* their stash. Yes yes, come to the DZ. 😈

Get good and go back in to DZ with vengeance.

Honestly not that rare at all getting blueprints in decent. A buddy played decent for two weeks, and got all of the blueprints decent has to offer. I've started on mine too. Take the nemesis out, then start the next loop, but quit after you start it. Get one almost every time doing that.

in I've never really been a big fan of the Dark Zones. Even in the first Division game. In The Division 2, going into the Dark Zones wasn't necessary until the Eagle Bearer was added. To me, the people who go rouge do so to be bullies! We need another way to acquire things like the Eagle Bearer outside the raid and Dark Zone!

My main problem with the dark zone is its just one big tdm, someone going rouge should be a big deal, it should be exciting not every SHD agent should turn into a psychopath as soon as they step out of the SHDnet coverage. Something to counteract this could be inventives to be a good little agent and not go off mission and blap your fellow agents for no reason in the zone.

DZ on PC still like wild west, more civilize on Playstation, not always but most of the time.

i am nevcer stepping into the dark zone again

for me, the loot potential just isnt worth the time. almost 9/10 times its a 3 or 4 stack of rogues that just run the map, and as a solo, its just ruins the fun knowing i dont stand a chance or just have to run the whole time. if there was a system to just pair you up with other solos then id be down to go in more

One of the many problems with the DZ is that there are very high level sweaty players that prey on low level players.. I waited till I hit SHD 150, got a good build did a few Legendary runs solo and finally felt really confident only to enter and get shredded in about 5 seconds by 4 camping players at the entrance.. Went to DZ West.. got stalked and shredded when I called for extraction because the person that was following me decided to turn rogue.. never touched the DZ soil ever again.

they shouldn’t have gave everyone the easy access to these DZ on named Items. Not fair for the veterans on this game 🤦🏽‍♂️. We had to fight to get the matador and the Gift. So many back and forth battles to to get those items to get extracted . Even the Rav and EB and foundry. That was the grind and now people can just get it in easy. that was the point of these items it’s exclusive and it should have stayed that way.

I run the Dark Zone a lot , the risk doesn’t equal the rewards. The gear is subpar . And the exotic drops are so far and in between. I did get an Eagle Bearer in May last year. Since then nothing to Bragg about. The rouges love to gang up on single players and kill them, even without carrying loot bag.

Shock rounds

@roguegold, the dark zone shouldn’t be a PvP area the only PvP area should be conflict , the dark zone should be a pve area but make the enemies stronger and harder to kill

Yall can have fun in the PvP zone. (Yes, it's a PvP zone and not a farming area.)

A 1-in-5000 chance to get the drop just doesn't seem worth it.

Dangerous yet rewarding? Not since D1.

The real trick is knowing that there's nothing in the DZs that you need for meta PvE builds. A few items that are neat to have Emperors Guard knees, Yahl gear, Claws Out holster but nothing game changing.

Developers should implement a PvP on/off option for the Dark Zone. This allows players who never go to the Dark Zone to discover these zones and the associated mechanics such as equipment extraction. Instantly and very easily, this would add new areas to discover as well as a new game mode for the vast majority of players. Players could rub shoulders and work together to clear the area. The loot table could be adjusted as needed.

I don't know what it is but everyone is really sound in eu dzs every time I've went in there's maybe been one guy being a dick
