Now that there's a sale going on, is it worth buying? Is there any DLC that I need for a better experience? What are some fun builds if I do buy it?

bump

The survival dlc is the best the game has to offer. When i last played 8 months ago there were 3 end game instances worth your time, but the community is so bad I could never finish them because a slight amount of teamwork is required.

underground is ok if you just want a dungeon generator, it gets pretty cheesy at times though.

definitely worth it at the sale price, dlc is all shit tho.

>builds

that's an exaggeration

I usually hate these ubishit style open world games but the design of this world hooked me and i enjoy grindy loot based games so $15 was a pretty good buy for me

yeah i think a lot of people just get bent out of shape about of the meatshield enemies, which aren't even that bad if you use sniper rifles. the only thing that is truly awful about this game is the pvp, which was definitely an afterthought by the devs.

are you talking about the dark zone in general? i like the concept of it but wish there were no NPCs at all and was purely mmo style PVP

comfy holiday game

the issue is that the first year of release the DZ was nothing but cheese. the rogue mechanics were really abuseable and pvp was all about smgs and shooting health bombs at your feet. The netcode is also pretty bad and you're constantly playing with people from different continents which is simple unacceptable in a shooter.

They recently changed it to where you just choose if you want to be rogue instead of the old 'if you shoot people too much you're rogue now' which is a massive improvement but this should have been done months ago.

Why?

>Now that there's a sale going on, is it worth buying?

Yes, right now it feels like the game is completed and fully working.

>Is there any DLC that I need for a better experience?
Underground is a PVE expansion that got an update and is WAY better and more fun now than before.

Survival is just god damn fun to play and is how i expected The Division to be (players sharing the whole city of NY scavenging for supplies like food and water materials, and can kill each other for survival).

And Last Stand is PVPE 8v8 where you put your gear to the test, you can help the team killing NPCs for points or killing other players who are capturing the point, however the new update added a new PVP area of 4v4 so if you want PVP you can chose to buy or not buy that expansion.

As for builds, its hard to explain, you need to get a feel of the game to see what style you are using.

>are you talking about the dark zone in general? i like the concept of it but wish there were no NPCs at all and was purely mmo style PVP

You can play skirmish mode in the new added area of the map, its 4v4 PVP without NPCs

I got the game free with the PS4 never bought the DLC that should be in the game like Destiny 2 it is a bullet sponge shooter but is is pretty. Also AUG is not a SMG.

For those curious in the 1.8 patch

id rather play tarkov

>is it worth buying?
yes
> Is there any DLC that I need for a better experience?
Underground DLC
>What are some fun builds if I do buy it?
Classified Sentry

Eh

Worth it if you think about the game like it's the Diablo of the third person shooters.

>$22 on a sale for a moldy game that nobody liked in the first place
It should cost that normally
