We're completely open to feedback on the game's difficulty and loot. However, repeatedly working to refine your build is one of the core concepts of this type of game (not just TD2, but pretty much any game with RNG-based drops). There's different ways this can be handled, but tougher challenges being tied to better rewards is a feature in a whole lot of video games. The second part of your post left me a bit confused.

How might the power and priority of dealing with EMP sources impact how you engage in combat encounters? How do you feel it changes the flow of combat and your tactical options?

Glad this all got sorted out!

Thank you for the feedback on this! How do you feel about the behaviors of the Elite Black Tusk enemies?

Additionally, what content has been the most challenging for you so far?

I've heard that if you're looking at your weapons at particular times, like when a Talent is active/proc'd then you might see wildly out of whack stats like that - in addition to Normalization. If this is still happening when you're in the Base of Operations for a good amount of time and the numbers are still jumping all over the place, that's definitely something we want to investigate.

This issue is being looked into. Thanks everyone for the reports!

Thank you for taking the time to write this out. How do you feel the Gear Sets, as they are now, might impact the meta - if at all? How do you feel about the potential for the Sets to be a more specialized loadout versus a standard addition to every build, like some in The Division?

For the record, I would quite enjoy to see that in action.

As for the Exotics in general, how do you guys feel about the effort you have to put in to get the various exotic weapons? How do they feel to use compared to other weapons in The Division 2, or other exotics back from The Division?

Thank you for the feedback. Shotgunners in particular are one enemy type I see a lot of discussion about so I appreciate the added detail!

I believe he is asking talking about the abundance of player made content that talks about builds, game information, secrets, etc. of varying quality versus what comes from official Ubisoft channels.

How do you guys think the community content - especially the more informative stuff - impacts the general player base or yourself specifically? Do you look up guides for builds? For Hunters? Missions? Or do you go it alone 100% of the way?

Interesting... thank you for the feedback everyone. Please sure to bring this or similar situations up if you run into them!

Hey grindfactor, I've been torn on it myself, personally. I generally just throw on any gear that I find as long as it'ss a higher Gear Score and adapt accordingly. But if there's ever a chance to create Brand Set synergy, I always go for that (sometimes even for a 2-5 Gear Score negative trade off.) It depends on how much you rely on your previous setup and how much you're willing to try whatever comes your way.

I believe Voodoobox, at least with his first statement, is referring to the 3 Gear Sets (Teal/Green items), not the more standard Brand Sets. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

My advice would be try just sticking to Gear Score, but if you're finding the content starts giving a bit more trouble than you're wanting, then start really focusing on Brand Sets again.

I hope this helps!

How do you feel the Gear Set items compare to the Gear Sets from The Division? How might allowing Sets to specialize and focus impact the meta/game play versus having them be standard issue for stacking bonuses?

I appreciate the mixed feedback here everyone. How have the changes impacted which skills you end up using? I know the changes had me swap off then back on to Chem Launcher but for two very different functions.

Interesting bit of feedback here. Not quite like most of what I've seen today. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and observations.

What has been the hardest/most challenging/most rewarding content you've played in The Division 2 yet?
