Tired of Your Loot Room Looking Like a Hoarders Anonymous Meeting? How to Donate Weapons in The Division 2 (Without Getting Swatted)
Ah, The Division 2. A world overflowing with enough guns to make a prepper blush. You fight your way through a warzone, pockets overflowing with enough firepower to overthrow a small banana republic. But what happens to all those leftover pistols you just don't vibe with, or the shotguns that mysteriously keep firing confetti instead of lead? Well, fear not, Agent, for this guide will turn you from a walking arsenal into a philanthropic sharpshooter.
Deconstruction? Donation? Let's Break It Down (Literally)
First things first, forget about chucking your unwanted uzis at grateful civilians. This ain't Fortnite, and throwing down a hail of bullets probably won't win you any "Agent of the Month" awards. The Division has a much more... organized approach to weapon "donation." We're talking about the Tinkering Station, your one-stop shop for weapon tinkering and, more importantly for our purposes, Expertise.
Expertise: Turning Trash into... Well, Slightly Less Crappy Trash
Expertise is basically a system where you use unwanted gear and weapons to level up your favorites. Think of it like this: you donate your old, beat-up training wheels to the neighborhood kid, and in return, you get to upgrade your own tricked-out Schwinn. Here's the breakdown:
- Mark it as Junk: Don't waste time individually dismantling everything. There's a handy "Mark as Junk" option that lets you quickly flag all the weapons you absolutely do not want to accidentally nuke a toaster with during target practice.
- Head to the Tinkering Station: You'll find this beauty at the White House Settlement or Haven. Locate the Expertise tab (it looks like a fancy gear icon with a star).
- Find Your Weapon Soulmate: Pick the weapon type you want to level up (rifles, shotguns, you name it).
- Donate That Junk!: This is where the magic happens. Hit that Donate Junk button and watch your unwanted firepower transform into sweet, sweet Expertise points for your chosen weapon.
Pro Tip: Don't underestimate the power of Targeted Loot. If you're swimming in pistols you never use, set your targeted loot to something you actually want to upgrade. This way, your "donations" actually contribute to something you'll use in the long run.
So You're Basically Weapon Santa?
Not quite, Agent. Think of yourself more like a recycling plant, turning yesterday's trash into tomorrow's tactical advantage. You're not giving away freebies, you're strategically investing in your own arsenal.
Now get out there, clean up that loot room, and become the most efficiently-armed Agent D.C. has ever seen!
