*CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONAL INFO BELOW:*

This video took a lot of research and planning, and I want to be as accurate as possible, so if you feel there's important additional information to add— please do so! Thanks for watching.

*CORRECTION 1:* It has been pointed out to me that the Devs did indeed implement the Summit's Directive ruleset to the wider game later on. So yes, adding Directives to the open world and mission does provide slight boosts to Target Loot drop rates!

i think you covered everything. good job. one other thing i recommend for farming exotics is to keep an eye on what is targeted at Lincoln memorial everyday because it has 4 boss drops. Some invaded missions have multiple boss drops as well. Like grand washington hotel this week has 3. Strongholds typically have 3 bosses too but take a lot more time to complete so i don't recommend those.

[THUNDER]

This is the perfect guide for anyone whose stuck! Been spinning my head and scrolling down the search page looking for a non-ego or glitch based video!

Just want to say thanks for the great D2 content, its helped me get back into the game after long break.

By far the most informative video on Division 2 I have seen. I had the same confusing experience with Division 1 and as I am entering Division 2 world (thanks Ubisoft for denying us to get the game on Steam on day 1) this late entry might be a blessing or a curse. Just hit tier 1 and it bugs the hell out of me to see people cutting through enemies like a hot knife through butter while I struggle with a full crew to do some missions and getting metric ton of useless gear.

Fantastic guide…I wish they’d just add the S3 gear blueprints that I missed out on back in the game 😢

[DinoHsU]

Just wanted to add note that the Named Weapons(note I said Weapons) in your DZ exclusive list at 3:15 is not exclusive to the DZ. There is a very slight small chance that Control Point bosses(CP3 or higher) can drop them. The chance is higher with Named Control Point Bosses(CP +4 or Heroic CP's as it were). Also open world Rogue Agents can drop them. I've had every one of those Weapons drop from CP+4 Bosses and/or open world Rogue Agents at one point or another.

Not certain about directives only affecting targeted loot drop rates in Summit. On the Change Global Directive option it reads “Activating Directives will give you extra XP. Each active Directive slightly increases the chance for a targeted loot item to drop alongside a normal loot drop.” So I think this applies to open world/missions as well. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong.

Thanks for this very helpful video! When I got the Ninja backpack from Season 11 reward track I re-crafted it once but then I did the unspeakable mistake of deleting it and now I have to wait till season is over. I run solo 99% of the time.

[joemiles]

Im a Returning player from launch. Thankyou so much i had so many questions and this covered it.

[Cheesefist]

I started my 100% completion for this game this month, about to beat the story, then moving to Warlords, then endgame grind. Thanks for the videos
